The most reliable way to obtain Luxury Balls is by purchasing them from the Verdanturf Poké Mart for 1000 Pokédollars each.
If you don’t have access to Verdanturf Town yet, you can also obtain Luxury Balls by defeating Rich Boy Winston or Lady Cindy in a rematch. Rematches can be initiated through the Trainer’s Eye function on the PokeNav Plus.
Method #1: Verdanturf Town Poké Mart
The Verdanturf Poké Mart, located right next to the town’s Pokémon Center. This mart is where you can purchase Luxury Balls for 1000 Pokédollars each.
Simply speak to the top clerk at the back of the Mart to buy Luxury Balls, as well as other special Poké Balls such as Heal Balls and Nest Balls.
Method #2: Rematch with Rich Boy Winston
When you beat Rich Boy Winston in a rematch battle, he has a 20% chance of giving you one Luxury Ball.
Rich Boy Winston is located on Route 104’s south side near Petalburg Woods’ entrance.
Step 1: Exit Petalburg City by following the path towards the west. The path will lead you out of the city and towards Route 104’s south side.
Step 2: Once you’re out of Petalburg City, head north towards Petalburg Woods. You can find the entrance to the woods at the end of the path.
Step 3: As you near the entrance of Petalburg Woods, keep an eye out for Rich Boy Winston – he should be standing directly before the entrance with blonde hair.
Talk to him to start the rematch.
Method #3: Rematch with Lady Cindy
Lady Cindy is located on Route 104’s north side near a body of water. Defeating Lady Cindy in a rematch using Trainer’s Eye gives you a 20% chance to obtain a Luxury Ball as well.
Step 1: Start at the city’s Pokémon Center and head south on the path to the right. This path will lead you out of the city and towards Route 104.
Step 2: As you continue on the path, you’ll pass by the Poke Mart. Keep going until you reach the entrance to Route 104’s north side, which you’ll use to exit the city.
Step 3: Once you’re on Route 104, follow the path heading south.
You’ll eventually come across a bridge that you’ll need to cross.
Step 4: Once you’ve passed the bridge, turn left and look for Lady Cindy wearing a white hat. Talk to her to begin the rematch.
Methods 4 & 5: Mauville City and Sea Mauville
There are also two Luxury Balls you can find while exploring Hoenn, although these are not super efficient compared to just buying them.
But if you really want to find these locations, here’s a quick rundown of where you can find them:
Mauville City: Go to the third floor of the city and head underneath the west tower. Use your Dowsing Machine to locate the Luxury Ball that’s hidden directly beneath it.
Sea Mauville: Once you’ve found the Storage Key, you can access a room on the east side of Sea Mauville. This room is packed with all kinds of items, including a Luxury Ball located in the southwest corner of the room.
Ball Mechanics
When you catch a Pokémon using a Luxury Ball, the Pokémon gains twice as much happiness/friendship as other Pokémon.
Keep in mind that the Luxury Ball has the same catch rate modifier as a regular Pokeball, meaning it’s not more effective at catching Pokémon despite being five times more expensive than a regular Pokeball.
