===Pokémon Frienda===
In Pokémon Frienda, Quick Balls can be thrown at up to five patches of grass during the "Get it now!" segment of the game. If the player selected the "Get it in battle!" option at the beginning of the game and caught any Pokémon after the battle, the number of grass patches decreases; if one Pokémon was caught after a battle, then four patches of grass are shown, and so on. Each throw costs ¥100 and the patch of grass the Quick Ball is thrown at is determined at random.

==Trivia==
* As of Generation V, Pokémon with a catch rate of 153 or higher are guaranteed to be caught in a Quick Ball if it is used on the first turn of battle, provided it is not an Ultra Beast or other special type of encounter (such as the "difficulty" penalty being applied from a higher-leveled Pokémon before obtaining the eighth Badge in Generation VIII).
** In Generation IV, Pokémon with a catch rate of 192 or higher are guaranteed to be caught, though any with catch rates ranging from 151 to 191 have a 99.994% chance to succeed.
* In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, due to the nature of the game's overworld encounters, it is possible to use the Quick Ball's boosted catch rate modifier on the same Pokémon multiple times by running from it and then reinitiating the encounter.
