Waboba Moon Ball (Pack of 25) -DS

Product Information

Concentrate on aim. Don't look at the incoming opponent or at where you want the ball to go. Keep looking at the ball while you aim either down the line, at the corner of the service box crosscourt, into her body, at her feet, or lobbed over her head.

The Moon Ball cannot be used in situations in which Poké Balls cannot be used, such as in wild battles with two or more opponents currently present or against a trial Pokémon. If used in a Trainer battle, the opposing Trainer will bat the ball away, wasting the turn (as well as the ball prior to Generation IV). The Moon Ball is a PokéBall obtained from Kurt. This ball has an increased capture rate for Pokémon that evolve with the MoonStone. If the target Pokémon is Nidorina, Nidorino, Clefairy, Jigglypuff or Skitty, then the capture rate is 4. For every other Pokémon, the capture rate is 1. Not even the visual effects are particularly good; they're certainly not bad, but no improvements have been made since the 2009 release of 2012, which looked groundbreaking at the time. From an outside perspective, the changeover is simply a break in the action, but it carries much more significance between the lines. When a player sits down, the break is a chance to recover, reflect and collect their thoughts by focusing solely on the task at hand, whether that be closing out a match or fighting to remain alive.In Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, while it is intended to be more effective against Pokémon that evolve by using Moon Stone and their evolutionary relatives, due to a glitch, it always has a 1× catch rate. (Instead, the Moon Ball is more effective against Pokémon that evolve by using a Burn Heal, but there are no such Pokémon.) Make him hit a lot of balls. Keep running his shots down, because a hard hitter doesn't have much margin for error, and he'll eventually miss one. This underrated shot is best used sporadically, as regular use will take away from your more powerful, topspin forehand weapon. But this slice is a weapon all its own. —Nina Pantic, former player at UCLA and the University of Missouri Pull him up to net with good drop shots or low, skidding slices. This is a risky play, because if your short ball sits up at all, he'll put it away. If you hit a good short ball though, you'll force him to try to play the net, and a lot of power baseliners don't volley well.

It may be one of the ugliest shots in the sport, and one of the most rarely seen in the pros. But it was used to great effect by Agnieszka Radwanska, who climbed all the way to No. 2 in the world, and Monica Niculescu sliced the likes of Maria Sharapova off the court with it. If the children are too young to count, they can have fun just hitting the ball, or you can play timed games. Vary the game by having each person in the group hit the ball once before anyone can hit it a second time. If your group is large, you can split it into teams each with their own ball. Make it a contest to see which team can keep the ball in play the longest.

Get your hands on this special edition Moon ball featuring the official NASA logo. Celebrate your love for space by bouncing it to the moon! One small step for us. Many, many, many bounces for you. In Generation II, the Moon Ball's catch rate is mistakenly boosted when used on Pokémon that evolve using a Burn Heal rather than a Moon Stone, so in practice the rate is never boosted. In Generation I, the Moon Stone's index number was 0x0A, but in Generation II, this index corresponds to the Burn Heal (the Moon Stone instead having the index number 0x08)—the Moon Ball's code mistakenly references the Moon Stone's original index number, preventing the Moon Ball's boost from ever applying. Moonfall makes just as little sense as 2012, and the characters are just as dull. But, in a way, this film is the more disappointing one because of how much better it could have been. Mix up the speeds and spins on your shots. A power hitter needs good timing, and the more variety you throw at him, the more difficult his timing will be.
