Hi Bill! I was wondering if there are any benefits to the pokemon by catchaing them different pokeballs for different pokemon. As in using a duskball for pokemon who come out at night, or heavyballs for heavier pokemon, in contrast to a normal pokeball. Are they more comfortable in pokeballs more suited to them?

In some cases, yes, and this is how those poké balls are as effective as they are. For example, net balls are constructed to be more pleasurable to water- and bug-types. Basically, it operates on the same principle as wallpapers for the PC: inside a net ball, pokémon experience an artificial, digitally created wetland environment, which is simply more pleasurable and desirable of a habitat to very specific pokémon. The same can be said for dusk balls (which simulate darker environments), dive balls (which simulate underwater environments), and luxury balls (which simulate high-end, luxury hotel accommodations … which is perhaps why it doesn’t really increase the chances of you catching a pokémon, to be fair).

In other cases, the ball itself is constructed to better contain pokémon. This is true for apricorn poké balls, such as heavy balls (made with an apricorn capable of generating a capture field strong enough to keep massive pokémon in stasis), moon balls (which possess a faint energy signature extremely similar to moon stones, which is why they’re highly desirable to pokémon that evolve by it), and fast balls (which activate faster in order to counter quicker attempts at breaking out).

Otherwise, for the most part, poké balls just have capture nets of varying strengths. That is, an ultra ball is more potent than a poké ball because it literally is more powerful from a mechanical perspective.
