There are many different variants of Poké Balls in the Pokémon series, so I figured there's plenty of possible discussion to be had about them.
Which are your favorite types of Poké Ball?
Do you prefer to use any type more than the rest?
Do you like any of their light effects when compared to the rest?
Do you like to use the Ball Capsules and Stickers in the Johto and Sinnoh games?
Are you one of the people who enjoys only capturing everything in standard Poké Balls?
Do you like to switch up your throwing style? Which throwing style(s) do you prefer?
Let's talk about it!

Recently, over the course of a few months, I slowly bred a team of Pokémon for a playthrough of Violet and decided I wanted all of the team members to be in Luxury Balls. I grew to appreciate Luxury Balls more than I had prior, and this is what gave me the idea to create this thread.
My absolute favorite style of Poké Ball is the Moon Ball; I like the blue and black representing day turning to night and the crescent moon is neat. Other favorites include the Heavy Ball, Love Ball, Beast Ball, Strange Ball, and of course the aforementioned Luxury Ball. The Jet Ball is also pretty neat, as someone whose favorite animals are birds, but it's a shame that they aren't usable outside of Legends Arceus.
As for the light effects when they're thrown, I like the hearts from the Love Ball, the dark purple of the Dusk Ball, the pink clouds from the Dream Ball, the red and orange light from the Cherish Ball and I think the clocks that show up from Timer Balls are cool and would make for a nice themed team.
I'm glad that the various Apricorn Balls have escaped the Johto games and have been acquirable in the games since Sun & Moon, though I wish they weren't so limited. I'm also kind of disappointed that the Strange Ball can only be acquired by transferring a Pokémon caught in Legends: Arceus and can't be bred down like other Poké Balls, since it has a really nice look to it.
