Well, it has proximity sensors - whenever your fingertips come close to the top half of the PokéBall, the button in the middle glows, the closer you reach for the PokéBall, the brighter it glows (and it’s REALLY bright when you lay your hand on it). Sideshow and The Wand Company are proud to present the Poké Ball. This premium quality, highly accurate Poké Ball replica, made with an engineered metal shell, has a deeply colored surface that is sensitive to touch and proximity. With its brightly illuminated button and lift-to-display illuminated presentation case, this Poké Ball promises to be a beautiful addition to any Pokémon collection.

Cherish Ball

As you open the presentation case the Poké Ball is automatically lifted into position. The display case has an illuminated rubber cup to gently hold the Poké Ball safely in position. The rubber cup is illuminated by six multicolour LEDs, so not only can you illuminate your Poké all while on display, but you can choose from one of seven glowing colours.

The Pokémon Company is teaming up with The Wand Company — which makes high-end Fallout Pip-Boy kits, Star Trek phasers, Doctor Who sonic screwdrivers, and, yes, wands — to make an accurate replica of the Poké Ball. They’re also making a collectible replica Great Ball, Ultra Ball, and Premier Ball, all of which will roll out in 2021. A moment owners will not soon forget is when the box is opened and the Poké Ball is seen for the first time. The Wand Company’s Poké Ball Replica is meticulously built and absolutely gorgeous. The top and bottom halves are made from stainless steel with paintwork reminiscent of automotive finishes. Each hemisphere is split with a single plastic ring, culminating in the iconic Poké Ball nib. As a collectible, it feels and looks premium; and satisfies in many different ways.

On the bottom of The Wand Company’s Poké Ball Replica case is a compartment. Opening it reveals the battery location for the case as well as an unusual stainless steel ring. As if the RGB features of the case were not enough, The Wand Company have included yet another means of displaying the Poké Ball. The stainless steel ring hidden in the compartment fits perfectly into the Poké Ball sigil on the top of the case. This allows the Poké Ball to be displayed in a wholly different way, removing the need to leave the case open for it to be displayed. Having a second display option is quite handy, and it is a really well thought out and unexpected addition for fans.

According to The Pokémon Company, the die-cast metal replica Poké Ball features proximity-sensing technology. When it detects motion, the ball will glow. Pressing the button on the Poké Ball “changes the light color or starts a Pokémon-catching illumination sequence.” It also comes with a presentation case and a stainless-steel ring on which collectors can display the Poké Ball replica. The case itself also comes with a touch-sensitive metal plaque that lights up the ball. (Oh, and batteries are included.) Photo: The Wand Company/The Pokémon Company Ideal for collectors, the replica comes with a presentation case “authenticated by a uniquely numbered hologram“ and a polished stainless-steel ring, so that you can display your Ultra Ball however you want. The Poké Ball is specially weighted so that when placed on any level surface it will come to rest the correct way up. Take care not to place it on any abrasive surfaces or the paint finish may be damaged.
