===Effect===
====Manual activation====
When used from the Bag in a encounter, it attempts to catch the wild Pokémon with a catch rate modifier of 1×.
If used on an Ultra Beast, the catch rate modifier is instead always set to 410/4096× (~0.1×).
The Luxury 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 (except if used as a Snag Ball on a Shadow Pokémon), the opposing Trainer will deflect the ball, wasting the player's turn (as well as the item prior to Generation IV). If used on the ghost Marowak, it will dodge the ball, wasting it.
====As a Pokémon's Poké Ball====
Any increase to the friendship of a Pokémon in a Luxury Ball is boosted by 1.
====Held item====
 fails if the user is holding a Luxury Ball.

==In the TCG==
The , first found in the expansion, is among the rarest of the Poké Ball varieties in the games, though its catch rate is the same as that of a normal Poké Ball. Likewise it is so with the TCG, allowing a non- Pokémon to be searched from the deck, but only if another Luxury Ball card is not in the discard pile.
==Trivia==
* The Luxury Ball is the only Poké Ball with a permanent, persistent effect on the Pokémon caught with it.
** Prior to Generation III, no Poké Ball had a persistent effect on the Pokémon it was caught in, nor was the type of ball displayed in a Pokémon's summary. The introduction of the Luxury Ball, and its associated effect, was only possible due to the index number of the Poké Ball a Pokémon was obtained in being permanently stored within a Pokémon's data structure, starting in Generation III onward.
