Is it possible to get a Piplup in a Net Ball in Pokemon ORAS?

Question

I'm IV breeding for a 6IV Piplup and I just wanted to know if it was possible, if at all, to get one in a Net Ball, or any other Poke Ball other than the standard red and white?

*By the way, I forgot to include that the game I'm doing this on is ORAS, for clarification.

Comments

Much to my disappiontment, it is apparently just not possible to get a Piplup in a Net Ball. However, to everyone who replied, thank you for your responses. I just wish we had the option to further customize Pokemon teams through personally customizable Poke Balls as well. Maybe, someday we will in possible future games, along side more trainer customization options.

On another note, does anyone know how to hatch a Piplup with 6 IVs? The most I keep getting are 5 IVs. Would giving both parents Destiny Knots (if I had another in ORAS), have any effect?

No, the best thing you can do is have 5IV piplup+6IV something else (ditto is recommended).
On average itll take about 30 eggs (about one box), so just keep breeding! Also, if you arent running a mixed set you can just not have the perfect IV for the stat you arent using. Its better to give one parent the destiny knot and the other something like everstone to have a good nature.

There is a global link event in which a catchable Piplup was distributed, and you can catch in a Net Ball at Entree Forest. It was available on BW and BW2 platforms. Even if you were to have someone hack it into the game, it would be 100% legal (aside from it's methods).

 Unfortunately, it is male and it's ball cannot be bred. So Net Ball Piplup is available in ORAS, but it cannot be bred with the same ball.

I thought Global Link Pokemon could only be caught in a dream ball

Some could be caught in Entree Forest (Dream Link or something). There are particular events that allow catching of pokemon.

^ Basically.

Answer 1

Yes, as of X and Y if the mother is caught in any pokeball (besides the master ball of course) other than a standard one, the resulting offspring will be in that pokeball. So a mother in a dusk ball will always have her offspring hatch in a dusk ball.

I guess I should add in the fact that it is possible to get piplup in a net ball in the game, just not legal.(credit to the comments for pointing that out)

but you have to be able to catch the mother in a net ball and as far as I know, you cannot get a piplup in any other pokeball than a regular pokeball

---

True, would ditto not count as the mother if the empoleon was male.

---

Whether or not it is possible, I'm still having a hard time figuring out how to make it work, until I know for sure (though I have my doubts). Would using a combination of Mantine (in a Net Ball), Piplup (both it and Mantine of either gender) and a Ditto make it work??

---

no, it would not because the mother passes down the pokeball, the pokemon that the mother is is always what comes out of the egg, so to breed a piplup in a net ball, you would need a female piplup in a net ball, but you cannot get piplup in net balls
(if that makes any sense)

---

You can get piplup in a net ball by catching one in gen 4 with a net ball then transfering it over

---

You can't catch piplup in gen 4, it's given to you as your starter

---

Nvm, what I thought was an encounter was actually a gift

---

Even if it was an encounter, you wouldn't have net balls that early in the game.

---

You could go back to it later

Why are we having an argument about something that technically doesn't exist?
