Summary

Dive Ball is a specialized Poké Ball in the Pokémon series designed to enhance the capture rates of Pokémon found in specific environments. Its primary effect is to improve the odds of successfully catching wild Pokémon encountered either while surfing on water or during underwater dives. Specifically, it offers a 3.5x catch rate modifier for such Pokémon, making it one of the most effective balls for aquatic creatures.

Introduced in Generation III in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the Dive Ball has been a useful tool for trainers wanting to complete their Pokédex, especially for those targeting water-dwelling Pokémon like Tentacool, Wailmer, and Relicanth.

Aesthetically, the Dive Ball is distinct with its blue and white color scheme, which reflects its aquatic functionality. Additionally, its design resembles a diving helmet, emphasizing its intended use underwater.

It's worth noting that while the Dive Ball excels in capturing water-bound Pokémon, it has no increased effect on land-based or other non-a
