I answered a similar question yesterday. Please take a look [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonScarletViolet/comments/zljw7s/this_pisses_me_off/j06qbci/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3), hopefully that clears out all doubts and questions. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|smile)

Pokemon have individual ID but items don't. It's safe to use the item but it's not safe to use the pokemon. You can still breed it though, its offapring have no problem (but you need to check if the pokeball is legal).

Which pokeballs are illegal? Only one that comes to my mind is safari balls


songinrain

Also balls that is impossible to be on certain pokemon right now, like any ball beside poke ball on starters. Or balls that need pokemon home, like strange ball.


Throwawaybookmarker

Charmanders can have any ball thanks to the char raids.


whitestethoscope

charmander is not a starter in scarlet violet…


ro_nin__

Pretty sure they meant the Paldea starters


Schulle2105

Forgot the name but the completely Red one that is used for a good amount of eventpokemon


you_dontknowme-

imagine not knowing the name of the cherish ball at least you know it exists, i guess


Schulle2105

Meh I mean it isn't that important overall,but if you want to gatekeep over something like that,good for you


CasperWithAJ

I didn’t know this either, you could’ve just told us the name without being condescending:)


ro_nin__

Imagine caring if someone knows the name of a pokeball.


gummors

Yes take the item and release the Pokémon that’s what I would do


Skalheim

I've noticed in Sw/Sh that some people would take the item and then put the mon back into surprise trade. Seems like a real dirty thing to do.


CommanderOshawott

It’s 100% safe to take the item and use it. You can use the mon itself on your local switch if you want, it’s only if you use it in online functions (ie raids and online battles) that it may be detected as hacked. Personally I take the item and release the mon when I get one, I had a stock of 15 master Balls and 10 golden bottle caps in SW/SH at one point from it


ulv222

Wait, I can safely use the master ball I got from one of the hacked mons? I released the pokemon, but I didn't know it held items. I was wondering why I had a new master ball when doing the Charizard raid today.


CommanderOshawott

Yes you can safely use any bottle caps, mints, master balls, ability patches, etc that you get from the hacked mon. The risk is using the Pokémon itself, the item is fine


Buddy8435

what about the moms on npcs


Relative_Jeweler_949

This is cancer. At least the item is nice.


myBoardgameprofile

I take the Item and then breed the pokemon with a 5-Iv ditto then release


Pristine-Eggplant50

I don’t get why people say it’s dangerous to use it online. It already got checked when you got traded it. You will not get banned when you gonna use it online.


JH_c_of_d

I love getting those. I used 1 in Sw/SH and loved it


PokeAlola700

Same but I don’t get them.


NW_Ghost

![gif](giphy|eLvhchyvNNOuLbOtYP) Got a perfect shiny ditto from an account like that a few days ago. It's been great for breading


BabaYagaInYoFace

Do you wrap it around your chicken parm?


WindsweptHell

I mean, they’re “legal” so it’s up to you.
