How Premier Ball Pokémon GO Works and How to Get Maximum Balls Efficiently

Part 1. What Are Premier Balls in Pokémon GO?

A Premier Ball Pokémon Go is a special white Poké Ball that is only available in certain situations. You can't store or collect them as you would with normal Poké Balls. Rather, they are handed out after engagements, and vanish regardless of whether you catch the Pokémon or not.

Where Premier Balls Are Used?

• Raid Battles (One of the most common usage sources)

• Team GO Rocket Battles (Grunts, Leaders, Giovanni)

  

• Special Research Encounters (certain event & story line)

At the end of the battle, your unreleased Premier Balls will disappear, so your aim and timing are especially important.

Part 2. What Do Premier Balls Do?

A lot of gamers ask, "What is the purpose of Premier Balls?" and "Are Premier Balls good?"

Here's the simple answer:

Premier Balls are the only balls you can use to catch Team Rocket Pokémon and Raid Boss Pokémon.

Their base catch rate is the same as for a normal Pokéball but their value is much higher due to the fact that they are very limited.

2.1 Are Premier Balls Good?

Yes, their catch rate is not higher than that of an Ultra Ball or a Great Ball, and they are not generally available outside of raids/Rocket encounters, but they are the only ball you can use in these encounters, so you do need some.

Part 3. How to Get More Premier Balls in Pokémon GO?

The number of Premier Balls you get after a raid is determined by multiple performance metrics. You need to optimize many things if you want to go toe-to-toe with the best trainers.

Below are the most common methods to obtain more Premier Balls:

• Beat the Raid Boss Faster: The faster your raid group kills the boss, the more Premier Balls you get per trainer. Strong attackers such as Mamoswine, Rayquaza, Rhyperior, and Terrakion can quicken the pace of a battle.

• Deal the Most Damage: Pokémon GO rewards you for your contribution to the damage by giving you extra Premier Balls. You also get balls if you are one of the top 1-3 damage dealers.

• Use Counters With the Proper Type Advantage: Properly optimized PMs with the right moves allow you to inflict more damage and finish battles faster, which in turn directly increases your Premier Ball count.

• More players from your team in the raid: It's your team (Valor, Mystic, or Instinct) that holds the gym, and you have several teammates raiding with you. Each of you will receive a bonus Premier Ball.

  

• Team Contribution Bonus: The group that inflicts the most total damage also receives extra Premier Balls.

• Gym Control Bonus: If your team holds the gym at which you raid, you automatically receive extra balls.

• Personal Performance Bonuses: This is everything from dodging properly to not letting your Pokémon faint. Good performance = more rewards.

Part 4. Pokémon Premier Ball Catch Rate Explained

A Premier Ball does not have a higher catch rate than a regular Poké Ball.

Catch rates depend on:

• The Pokémon's base catch rate

• Curveball bonuses

• Throw accuracy (Nice, Great, Excellent)

• Golden Razz Berries or Silver Pinaps

  

• Weather boosts

• Pokémon type bonuses

The capture mechanics are unchanged, but with Premier Balls running on a timer, every throw is now 10× more valuable.

4.1 PokéBall Plus Premier Ball

The PokéBall Plus is a great auto catch turned accessory, but there is one big hitch:

• PokéBall Plus CAN'T throw Premier Balls in Pokémon GO. It only works with Poké Balls, Great Balls, and Ultra Balls.

• Premier Balls must be thrown manually, particularly in raids and Rocket battles.

• All the Poké Balls in Pokémon GO include Poké Ball, Great Ball, Ultra Ball, Premier Ball, Beast Ball, Master Ball, and Special Event Balls.
