Trivia[]
- The Fast Ball is similar the Quick Ball, due the fact they are both useful in catching Pokémon that flee easily or hard to capture, due to having escape moves like Teleport, Roar, and Whirlwind.
- A programming error in Generation II results in the ball only being effective at catching the first three Pokémon in the table for Pokémon that have a 10% chance of fleeing (Magnemite, Tangela, and Grimer), making it practically useless.
