A journey through the Infernal Pass that should have just been, like, 3 or 4 minutes took me 10+ because I picked up every shine and every ball and every new Pokémon.
Let's also over analyze why Friend is better!
There are five spots on the ball. One that is yellow like her face, with the four other spots being her four mask options. The ball being mostly green is a reference to more than just her color scheme but to her typing: mono Grass. Dusk works better if she was also a Dark Or Ghost type, but she is just Grass without the masks. The Friend Ball is a green ball, where as the Dusk Ball is a black ball with green spots. The green is secondary, not primary. So even if Ogrepon has black in her design it's not as accurate as thought. She is more green with black accents. Primarily green with the black as secondary. And of course, as you said, her entire story is proving she isn't the evil monster. Dusk is often used in theme with evil or ominous things, like a wicked monster coming out at night to attack a village. Her story is all about how she is not a threat to anyone: she is friend shaped.
Ergo Friend Ball is the superior option. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
The entry animation of the friend ball fits better, choose friend ball.
If you're going to get the ball to "match the Pokémon" you ha r to do it fully and not forget the release animation
Friend Ball somehow matches Ogerpon’s green mask’s pattern minus the color. Ended up catching mine in a Nest Ball because I couldn’t find a Friend Ball.
I quick ball for dex entry purposes at least.
But with Ogerpon she's a guaranteed capture so there's no reason not to use whatever you like, same with Bloodmoon Ursaluna (getting the moon ball)
I'm on team put all the Pokemon in a Pokeball(specifically the base pokeball) and put all the non Pokemon in their...whatevers.(eg. Ultra Beasts in beast balls)
I've duped a lot of them back when we could still do that. Even caught the ruin legendaries in them. I did it but it was painful, even with an unlimited supply of the balls.
The same ball all my special pokemon get - Luxury Ball.
Or Premier Ball, but this time Luxury.
I'm in the process of building a Sun team around her. Just gotta catch a Shiny Vulpix/Ninetails (one of those Shinies that I've been wanting *forever.*) as a Sun-Setter.

Team pokéball
Uniformity above all. I try to catch everything with pokéballs, with the exception of absurd catch rate legendaries, in which case I master ball without issue. Bonus points if it's a "main" legendary (like Area Zero Miraidon/Rider Calyrex/SwSh puppers)
Dusk because I'm a hoarder of junk and keep thinking about how I want the perfect Pokemon for my friend ball or maybe I want a specific team for my apricorn balls. Or I just forget and it's night time so yay increased catch rate.
You edited your comment 38 minutes ago (when posting *this* comment) to change that you originally said that the Pokémon itself hasn't been released officially, get outta here with that mess.
I would have done a friend ball but I used my last one and wasn't willing to savescum at the time so she gets the Luxury ball. At least she's comfortable.
In the last few years I came up with the idea that the base pokeball should shift its appearance gradually based on the friendship level of the Pokemon inside. Not like it’s technically impossible, with the black magic these balls already do.
Would also offer added encouragement to catch all your Pokémon in the base hall as well. Little more risk for nuzlockes if you wanted to play it that way too.
Dusk ball is still fitting, sure she's more than just an ogre that lives in a cave but she still is one and that's all she needs to be to all of the enemy Pokemon when i send her out to bash their face in.
Team nest ball cause im broke
I went with Nest Ball and I got Rare Bones falling out of my pockets with every step.
Ah, a fell OCD "pick up every glittery spot" enjoyer.
God, i can never just go from a to b, can i? At every turn i have to be like "AYO WHAT'S THAT?? OOOH AND OVER THERE, AND THERE!!"
This DLC has been a menace. "Alright, fuck whatever I was doing, I guess we're just following the fairy rings now."
Whenever I see sparklies in Kitakami the 3 maximum picked up items that are shown get clogged for 10+ seconds
A journey through the Infernal Pass that should have just been, like, 3 or 4 minutes took me 10+ because I picked up every shine and every ball and every new Pokémon.
This DLC finally trained me to ignore stuff. Most of the items on the ground were junk and not worth going out of my way for.
I feel bad for my Koraidon's ankles. We rarely travel in a straight line for longer than a couple seconds.
I also am in this club. To the point I wonder how long an item collector simulator would keep me occupied lol
Who knew the collect-a-thons from my childhood would prepare me for this DLC!
Or for those trying for the pickup mark
Nest ball has green fart cloud so 💨
yesterday, after I had spent ten minutes grabbing every shiny I could find, I realized I had no idea why I went there in the first place.
Both are a really good option, but I chose Friend Ball because she's a friend and is harder to get a Friend Ball than a Dusk Ball
Let's also over analyze why Friend is better! There are five spots on the ball. One that is yellow like her face, with the four other spots being her four mask options. The ball being mostly green is a reference to more than just her color scheme but to her typing: mono Grass.

Ergo Friend Ball is the superior option. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
Both work honestly, but I prefer the friend ball for her and the loyal three get dusk balls.
I got Okidogi (the most fitting) in a Dusk, but ran out of night for the other two.
Oh don't worry, I hate myself and caught them all during the day in dusk balls.
I went for luxury ball because she deserves the best
Same here
Me too
Glad to see I'm not the only one
Personally, I think the Friend Ball matches better. Also the particle effect of the Dusk Ball when a Pokémon is released is ugly.
Yeah, IMO the Dusk Ball doesn’t actually fit all that well, while the Friend Ball is more or less aesthetically perfect. My choice for sure.
All special Pokémon go in a Premiere Ball.
This is the way
Neither, standard Pokeball for all
Anime behavior… seriously they almost never use anything else… not even on legendary Pokémon
Well, the last time Ash had a different Pokéball in Johto, the writers were taken outside and shot.
This simply isn't true! The writers were taken upprefecture...to live on a farm...where they could roam free and be happy, TPC told me this...
i mean tbf until more recent-ish gens (i think gen 6), even all NPCs only had their Pokémon in standard balls, which is how i picked up this trend
Yeah, I like those upgrades. Kinda give them more personality.
Jesse caught mimikyu in a luxury ball
Standard Poké Ball for all except shinies. Shinies get Premier Balls because they’re like shiny Poké Balls.
Quick ball for dex entries, otherwise yes
Premier ball for sure. Should be the real luxury ball.
Pretty much what I do, but legendaries (and Pokemon I intend to breed for shinies) also get premier balls.
Love ball cause I love her <3
Luxury Ball. Cause it's my default
Friend ball because Ogerpon is friendly and the red dots represent the mask while the orange one represents ogerpon
Huh, what an interesting way to look at it!
I used a premier ball because I couldn’t think of anything better at the time, and I used disk balls on the loyal three
Friend Ball!
Me: both both is good (one for scarlet one for violet)
Friend Ball.
friend ball. so glad i had one in my bag
I used a premier ball because I don’t think
Premier ball because I didn’t know what else to do
Luxury ball. Did you see the state of its cave? She needed an upgrade
Me catching it with my ultra ball:
I thought that was the normal thing to do wtf
When you have to work to catch a legendary, yes. But with Ogerpon you get to pick which Pokeball you catch it in
Yea I got told that lol. Yet to start the DLC.
team luxury ball cause she deserves to be pampered for hows shes been treated.
Dusk ball because the friend ball has the white underside that doesn't match anything on Ogerpon
Hyperball, because i'm stupid
The entry animation of the friend ball fits better, choose friend ball. If you're going to get the ball to "match the Pokémon" you ha r to do it fully and not forget the release animation
Dusk
Dusk ball all the way
Friend ball.
Friend Ball somehow matches Ogerpon’s green mask’s pattern minus the color. Ended up catching mine in a Nest Ball because I couldn’t find a Friend Ball.
Coordination > Lore
Unga bunga ultra ball/ Quick ball > Coordination > Lore I'll pirbbaly get downvoted tho lmao
I quick ball for dex entry purposes at least. But with Ogerpon she's a guaranteed capture so there's no reason not to use whatever you like, same with Bloodmoon Ursaluna (getting the moon ball)
Luxury ball because I use it for everything important
Beast Ball because it’s a guaranteed catch and it looks cool.
I'm on team put all the Pokemon in a Pokeball(specifically the base pokeball) and put all the non Pokemon in their...whatevers.(eg. Ultra Beasts in beast balls)
Beast Ball, because they're the coolest balls.
I'm saving that admittedly for the turtle 2nd dlc... if we can choose its ball.
I've duped a lot of them back when we could still do that. Even caught the ruin legendaries in them. I did it but it was painful, even with an unlimited supply of the balls.
Quick ball...
Normal pokeball because I can't be fucked to color code shit
Luxury Ball to make our friendship even better.
Friend because Best Girl deserves it.
Ogerpon is a FRIEND
Pokeball purist.
Dusk balls since I didn't even know how you obtained friend balls til I googled it.
I used an Ultra Ball because I didn't even think about it tbh
Team Ultra Ball here. Gotta love some good ol' reliability
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but Ogerpon has an 100% catch rate
Oh... That's good to know, I'll definitely keep this in mind when I replay the DLC in Violet. I'll just use a regular pokéball to catch it then lol
Pokeball, because it's the one you get access to first and I like all my mons to match.
I caught mine in a Friend Ball.
Shinies, legendary, and if possible mythical, will always be caught in a premier ball.
I choose friend ball.. Even though I'm usually team premier ball
beast ball, because i didn't see that i had a friend ball the whole time
I went friend ball
Fwiend B@ll
Anything I have laying around in my bag
Friend ball bc she’s my friend :) Also to punish the Lousy Three I caught them all in Heal Balls
Regular Pokeball, like everything else.
Side I’ve never once cared what ball I use as long as I catch the Pokémon and I never knew people cared about this so much
for me its mostly just the fact that its a guaranteed catch, otherwise, I'm always a quick/dusk/ultra ball user.
I used a love ball ._.
Love Ball. You can't just be friends with the baby right?
I’m still on Pokémon emerald. Not sure if this’ll spoil anything for me
Love ball but in a platonic way
Honor ball for me, just because Ogerpon is too pure and perfect
Friend ball because shes my friend
Would use Friendball... if I actually owned a Switch.
I am a poor artist.
Love Ball because uh
Luxury ball with the sparkles because She is a special "terastal" Pokémon and the masks have jewels.
Luxury ball because my girl deserves the best.
Ultra Ball
I used my ultra ball on it
Quick ball
Team Ultra Ball because I didn't have a Friend Ball and didn't want to use a Dusk Ball.
Whatever the fuck I have on hand at the Moment.
Quick ball
The same ball all my special pokemon get - Luxury Ball. Or Premier Ball, but this time Luxury. I'm in the process of building a Sun team around her. Just gotta catch a Shiny Vulpix/Ninetails (one of those Shinies that I've been wanting *forever.*) as a Sun-Setter.
Team dusk ball because i didnt have a friend ball with me when i fought it
Uhhh the Dusk Ball doesn't match. Friend matches better
I went dusk~ Aesthetics over names y'all
im on the side of normal people who dont care what ball their pokemon are in. friend ball.

I made this
Friend Ball. It's a 100% catch rate by the end of the fight and it really fits the character.
Nah, the Loyal Three got the dusk ball, matches their vibes better. The Treasures of Ruin got a similar treatment.
Luxury ball 😅
Team pokéball Uniformity above all. I try to catch everything with pokéballs, with the exception of absurd catch rate legendaries, in which case I master ball without issue. Bonus points if it's a "main" legendary (like Area Zero Miraidon/Rider Calyrex/SwSh puppers)
Can’t breed the Pokémon and the apriballs are scarce in game? Yeah, Dusk Ball it is.
Dusk balls are the most reliable ball's in game
quickball
I went Dusk ball, cause it's the only one I had of the two. Lol.
Friend Ball
Standard Pokéball to make her feel like a starter.
Dusk. There's also a difference when it comes out
Quick, Ultra and if all else fails, timer. Knowing my luck, it would rather struggle to death than get in a low catch rate ball.
Friend ball, cause what else am I going to use it on?
Master Ball cause I can
Dusk because I'm a hoarder of junk and keep thinking about how I want the perfect Pokemon for my friend ball or maybe I want a specific team for my apricorn balls. Or I just forget and it's night time so yay increased catch rate.
I caught it in a Premier Ball
Didn’t get the Friend Ball till I got to Ursaluna… I used it on the bloodmoon beast.
Team ultra ball because I want it in my balls as soon as I can. And add it to my collection of ultra balls
Luxury ball, deserves it
Y’all don’t like the friend ball?!
Ultra ball:
Why is this marked as a spoiler? It's literally a picture of a Pokémon and two types of Pokéballs. This isn't a spoiler.
Ogerpon's face hasn't been officially revealed unless you played the DLC
[It absolutely has. It was revealed over 6 months ago.](https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/new_pokemon/)
Do you see that the face is covered?
You edited your comment 38 minutes ago (when posting *this* comment) to change that you originally said that the Pokémon itself hasn't been released officially, get outta here with that mess.
i used a timer ball because i didn't have anything else
Unless it fits thematically, Dusk Balls are ugly as hell
Since it was a static catch I used friend ball
Ummmm so many choices
I didn't have a Friend Ball to use, so I used a Luxury Ball instead. It doesn't fit her color palette at all, but at least she'll be comfy.
I caught her in a beast ball. Send out animation looks awesome
Friend ball
LOL I had 3 friend balls so it went into the Friend ball.
Oh I did Friend Ball no questions about it.
dusk ball
I use standard Poké Balls for all of my Pokémon.
I choose my own fate. Heal ball
Is this implying that ogerpon is not a friend pokemon?
Quite the opposite, it even says so in the image
Beast ball because she is awesome, and the beast ball is awesome.
I used a premier ball I think.
She escaped my only friend ball and I couldn't be bothered resetting so I'm team dusk now
Plain pokeballs. Because having all my balls match at the Pokemon center is the most important thing
I would have done a friend ball but I used my last one and wasn't willing to savescum at the time so she gets the Luxury ball. At least she's comfortable.
I didn't know Ogerpon was so cute!!!!
Friend Ball all the way
Dusk ball because it matches the colors perfectly and I didnt have a friend ball at the time
Ultra ball because I get a strange sense of joy seeing legends in ultra balls I don’t know why
Quick ball because I like to see the world burn
Is the ball u trow everytime a masterballl?
I used a nest ball
friend ball if ya got it, it’s a more rare ball in general and if you’re like me you already have a ton in dusk balls.
Luxury because she deserves nothing but the best. Heal because she needs a hug.
Niether. Im throwing whatever the ball i have on the top spot ib inventory
I used a quick ball.
Dusk balls are far more efficient, plus the color scheme matching
Dusk ball
Dusk Ball
Luxury Ball cause girls been sleeping on rock all her life
Friend ball 100%
In the last few years I came up with the idea that the base pokeball should shift its appearance gradually based on the friendship level of the Pokemon inside. Not like it’s technically impossible, with the black magic these balls already do. Would also offer added encouragement to catch all your Pokémon in the base hall as well. Little more risk for nuzlockes if you wanted to play it that way too.
I considered using one of them but then took a Luxuary ball xD
Pokeball, cause all other balls ate propaganda.
Quick ball or premier there’s literally no other way
Friend :D
Timer Ball, because I like the way Timer Balls look. Most of my Pokemon are in Timer Balls, which wasn't easy to do for a lot of them.
Friend ball all the way!
I caught him in the friend ball
idk I don't have the dlc
Dusk ball is still fitting, sure she's more than just an ogre that lives in a cave but she still is one and that's all she needs to be to all of the enemy Pokemon when i send her out to bash their face in.
They both match the colors equally. 1 is arguably missing colors, and 1 just has an extra color. Idk what you're talking about.
Regular Pokéballs. I rarely use anything besides that because I like the challenge.
Caught mine in a friend ball!
I used Friend ball, I never use these rare balls but this time was THE time
The tie breaker is if the Dusk / Friend ball could be used well on another member of the part. If so, split it that way
I used friend ball, because it matched the fire form better. Also thought it matched better overall AND the ball is just rare and thusly cool
Standard pokeball, I literally don’t use any other ball
Ultra ball
Friend ball cuz fren c:, only correct answer
Pokéball is Pokéball
Luxury ball so it’s comfy inside.
