Where to find it

  During the Team Rocket HQ radio-room story, interact with an Electrode to stop the machinery. One chance: catching it, knocking it out or fleeing removes it; only losing allows a retry.

• Scripted encounter (Lv. 70): Victory Road 1F — fake item ball.

  Examine the fake item ball on Victory Road 1F. One chance: catching it, knocking it out or fleeing removes it; only losing allows a retry.

Pal Park: The wild table changes with the day of the week (by the DS clock). You get in through the Catching Show's Fixed Catch mode at the Pal Park reception ($10,000; bring your own Poké Balls). Sunday's table is the same as Cerulean Cave's, probably by mistake in the hack, so it also has Surf and fishing slots: the park has a pond and a stretch of sea.

See the quest guide: Victory Road 1F: the fake item ball (Lv. 70 Electrode).
