Infinite Poké Ball Glitch:

• This glitch allows infinite use of Poké Balls.
• Requirements: At least 2 different types of Poké Balls.
• Execution: On your 1st Pokémon's turn, select a Poké Ball. On the 2nd Pokémon's turn, swap the chosen Poké Ball's location in the bag with another Poké Ball using the 'Y' button. The thrown ball will not be consumed.
