Dataminers have discovered a potential new tie between Pokemon Legends: Arceus and Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. Dataminers digging through the code of both games have discovered an unimplemented Poke Ball called the “Strange Ball” that appears in both Pokemon Legends: Arceus and Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. So far, players have not found a way to obtain the ball legitimately in either game. We’ll also note that the Strange Ball uses a modern Poke Ball design as opposed to the antique Poke Ball style used in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. However, a user on Twitter shared a video (likely made using a hacked game file in an emulator) showing the Strange Ball in action. The Strange Ball contains no special animations or abilities and both games would likely need an update in order for the new Poke Ball style to actually be used.
