Pokémon Go will add its first new Pokéball in years, and it’s a fan-favourite design from the Nintendo Switch games Pokémon Sun and Moon.
The Beast Ball is a galactic-looking version of the regular Pokéball designed specifically for capturing Ultra Beasts, the extra-dimensional creatures which featured in Sun and Moon (and most recently arrived in Pokémon Go) via creepy wormholes.
Players at Pokémon Go’s three big in-person gatherings in Berlin, Seattle and Sapporo this summer will be first to use Beast Balls over the next six weeks, and get first access to one of the next three Ultra Beasts to arrive.
