The Smoke Ball can be a helpful Held Item for Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl players. Held Items can be given to Pokémon to provide small bonuses in battles; for example, players who give their first Pokémon the Amulet Coin item will be rewarded with more cash at the end of the battle. These are nothing game-breaking, but a handful of items allow for better quality-of-life experiences. Fortunately, Pokémon BDSP has a Smoke Ball item that makes it easier to deal with random encounters.
The Smoke Ball is a Held Item that enables the holder to flee from any wild Pokémon encounter without fail. During normal wild encounters, trainers are given the option to run away from battles. Although, this option doesn't always work as this would typically happen if the wild Pokémon is the same or higher level than the player's Pokémon. Picking the 'Run' option and failing to run away will leave the trainer's Pokémon wide open for an attack. With the Smoke Ball, trainers will be able to run away every single time.
There are two different ways to obtain the Smoke Ball item. The first way involves trainers heading down to Route 210. The second method is by searching for a wild Weezing. Players will need to wait until they get to the postgame and acquire the National Dex to access Weezing's various spawn locations. Either way, trainers can earn as many Smoke Balls as they need in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl. It can be especially helpful when players hunt for a specific wild Pokémon, and trainers need to run from battles constantly.
The first Smoke Ball is an interactive item in the overworld that players can get after accessing a specific location. Route 210 is broken into two sections: Route 210 South and Route 210 North. The Town Map doesn't display the two areas specifically, but players can decipher that the northern route is on the top and the southern route is towards the bottom. The Smoke Ball is located on the north side of Route 210. From the entrance of Celestic Town, head to the right and continue until trainers cross the first wooden bridge. The item itself can be found behind a green-haired trainer on the lower levels who will be directly across the two waterfalls. Players can either avoid or battle him to grab the Smoke Ball.
Trainers can also obtain a Smoke Ball as a Held Item from a wild Weezing. It has a 5% chance of holding a Smoke Ball upon a wild encounter on Route 227 and within Stark Mountain. Players can either capture every Weezing they find until they get a Smoke Ball or use the Thief TM to steal it from wild Weezing.
Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl are available now on Nintendo Switch.
