does the conservatory keep pkmn in balls until they can be released or are they all out-of-ball?
Hello! Excellent question, anonymous user!
Most of our residents are kept in balls until they can be safely released, if release is in their future. Poké balls not registered with the LPC are locked inside of all of our facilities, with the Vera Safari Zones being the exception. This is to prevent theft and stressing out our residents who may be afraid or aggressive toward new, unfamiliar Pokémon.
This extends to empty balls as well. Poké balls in LPC buildings are pre-registered to an LPC PC to make capture of any wild Pokémon in the building safer for everyone.
We use aluminum balls or apriballs for our business. No plastic balls, here!
