What is the premier ball good for catching?

Premier Balls are just the same as normal Poke Balls, they just have a different design. It’s never specified in the games what that “special event” they commemorate is.
But they have no special effect or anything… so maybe you can just use it if you see one of your favourite pokemon in the wild or something :)
It is just the same as a pokeball. I think when ruby/saphire came out they needed an extra ball, not including the ones they already had.
it isn’t useful for anything it is just like a pokeball sorry
I have no way to prove this theory, so you’ll just have to belive me, or don’t. Premier balls actually do have a little secret to them. From what I’ve been able to tell. Yes, they do have the same catchrate as normal Pokeballs. However, this is when the age-old myth about bashing the “A” or “B” button comes into play. From what I can tell hitting the “A” button rapidly highly increased my catch rate with the premier balls. I’ve caught all the legendaries in Sword using only the premier balls. Not only that, but I’ve also done it using a very small amount of them. The most I’ve had to use was somewhere around 27, but that was quite the outlier. Most legendaries I’ve been able to catch with ten or less throws, some I’ve even caught on the first try. Now, there is three things I should mention. Firstly, I’ve only ever used the “A” button. Secondly, I always bring their HP to exactly 1 (I recommend using Haxorus since he can learn false swipe). Thirdly, when I saw bash the button, I mean Flash level speed. The fastest you can possibly go, but not only that. You also have to time it, if you start to late or too early, the legendary will brake the ball immediately. Also, the speed at which you need to hit the “A” button increases with each twitch of the ball, and for the last one you have to seriously bash the button as if your life depended on it. So.much so that your arm should be tired afterwords. Again, this is all anecdotal, and in no way proves anything nor is it confirmed as a feature in the game. I also don’t know if it applies to all Pokemon or just legendaries, cause I exclusively only catch legendaries with premier balls. If you’re struggling to catch some legendary I would encourage you to try this, worst case scenario you’ve wasted some time, vest case scenario, catching legendaries just got a whole lot easier and quicker.
I found out something about the premier ball that’s different from a regular pokeball.I was trying to catch a Sableeye and would throw out ungodly numbers of pokeballs and even great balls because the catch rate was just miserable. One time I tried a premier ball just for the heck of it and caught it on the first try.To test if this was just a RNG lucky chance, I did the same thing two more times. Caught With the first premier ball I threw out each time.My guess is that some Pokémon just want to be special, or maybe they just like the look of the premier ball. Please let me know if anyone else runs into something like this.BTW, each time I caught them they were paralyzed and at low HP (red), but not 1 HP.
