Here's how you can obtain Fast Balls in later Pokemon games:
* Finding them in the wild: Fast Balls can sometimes be found in grass patches or caves. These locations vary from game to game, so you'll need to research specific guides for your desired game.
* Buying them from specific vendors: Some vendors, like the Battle Tower, may occasionally sell Fast Balls, but they are typically rare and expensive.
* Winning them in competitions or contests: Certain events and tournaments might reward players with Fast Balls as prizes.
* Trading with other players: You can trade with other players who possess Fast Balls in exchange for other items or Pokemon.
Unfortunately, Heart Gold does not include these locations or events. However, you can still obtain Fast Balls in other Pokemon games and then transfer them to Heart Gold using the Game Link Cable.
Tips for catching Pokemon with Fast Balls:
* Use them on Pokemon that are fast: Fast Balls increase the catch rate for fast Pokemon, making them more effective against creatures like Pikachu or Starly.
* Combine with other strategies: You can further increase your chances of catching a Pokemon by using other techniques like weakness exploits, status ailments, or throwing the ball at a low HP target.
Remember, patience is key when using Fast Balls. They are not guaranteed to catch Pokemon, even if they are effective for the specific species.
