If talked to in front of Motostoke Stadium

"Ta-da! You took the time to talk to a Poké Ball, so you deserve a little reward!"

"In case you were wondering, I'm not just any old Poké Ball! But then who am I, you ask? Well, the answer is simple. They call me the Ball Guy!"

"I'll be rolling around stadiums here and there, so if you see me, don't be shy! Come up and say hi!"

Turffield Stadium: "Hey there! Thanks for rolling by to have a chat with your mate—the Ball Guy! As a sign of our friendship, let me give you a wonderful Poké Ball!"; "If you catch a Pokémon with the Friend Ball, it'll become friendly with you in no time—just like how we became friends! Poké Balls are just full of surprises, don't you think?"

Hulbury Stadium: "Hey there! Thanks for rolling by to have a chat with your mate—the Ball Guy! I see you have a Fishing Rod! In that case, I've got the perfect Poké Ball for you!"; "If you manage to catch a Pokémon using your Fishing Rod, then it's time to use that Lure Ball! It's the absolute best Poké Ball for people who like Pokémon that live in the water. Poké Balls are just full of surprises, don't you think?"

Hammerlocke Stadium: "Hey there! Thanks for rolling by to have a chat with your mate—the Ball Guy! It looks like you've managed to level up your team quite a bit. Well, guess what? I've got the perfect Poké Ball to celebrate the occasion!"; "A Level Ball is perfect for high-level teams! The higher your Pokémon's level is compared to the opposing wild Pokémon, the easier it will be to catch it! Poké Balls are just full of surprises, don't you think?"

Stow-on-Side Stadium: "Hey there! Thanks for rolling by to have a chat with your mate—the Ball Guy! That Bag on your back is looking pretty heavy. Speaking of heavy, let me give you this very special Poké Ball!"; "Heavy Balls rock 'n' roll at catching heavy Pokémon! Pretty straight forward, right? If you're a fan of big, heavy Pokémon, then this is the Poké Ball for you! Poké Balls are just full of surprises, don't you think?"

Ballonlea Stadium: "Hey there! Thanks for rolling by to have a chat with your mate—the Ball Guy! Is love in the air, or is it just this Poké Ball? Here, try it out and see for yourself!"; "A Love Ball is useful if you want to catch a Pokémon that's the opposite gender of the one you send out onto the battlefield! Poké Balls are just full of surprises, don't you think?"

Circhester Stadium: "Hey there! Thanks for rolling by to have a chat with your mate—the Ball Guy! I heard that a Wishing Star fell to you! That means you were chosen by the Wishing Star, and that also means I've got a Poké Ball for you!"; "Moon Balls are curious Poké Balls. They're very good at catching Pokémon that evolve by using a Moon Stone on them! Poké Balls are just full of surprises, don't you think?"

Wyndon Stadium: "Hey there! Thanks for rolling by to have a chat with your mate—the Ball Guy! I can tell you're following your dreams! And that means... You guessed it! I've got a Poké Ball for you!"; "Pokémon that are asleep are easy to catch, but did you ever want it to be even easier? Well, the Dream Ball will make your dreams come true! Have your Pokémon use Hypnosis or Yawn to put the opponent to sleep, and then give it a try! Poké Balls are just full of surprises, don't you think?"

???: "What's that?! You'd like to have an absolute ball battling alongside your pal, Ball Guy?"; "Boy, that's an offer I'd love to roll with... But this is one ball that doesn't belong in battle!"

Motostoke

If talked to in front of Motostoke Stadium, after the player becomes Champion

"Hi there, Champion! I've been waiting for you!"

"Oh, before I forget! You were able to become Champion thanks to my cheers, right? So, here's something to make sure you don't forget your old friend Ball Guy!"

"A super-rare League Card! You'll be the envy of every collector out there, I promise you!"

"Don't worry about the card's slight wrinkling. That's just because everyone tried to get their hands on it! I know it looks like a common one, but mark my words—it's a true treasure of a League Card!"

???: "Hello there! It's your good friend Ball Guy! Don't you worry—I'll always make sure every Gym Challenger has a ball! It's my duty as the volunteer mascot of the Gym Challenge!"

Story Event - Galar's Poké Ball Enthusiast

A Welcoming Ball!

"So I've rolled onto Pasio..."

"It has a different kind of charm than Galar!"

"Hm? Who's that over there?"

"In-incredi-ball! Famous people from different regions are here!"

"If I could make a name for myself here..."

"I've made a decision! I'm gonna cheer everyone on as a mascot here on Pasio, too!"

"Hey, you there! Got a minute?"

"I'm your mate–Ball Guy! You deserve a little reward!"

"Ta-da! It's a Friend Ball!"

"If you catch a Pokémon with a Friend Ball, it'll become friendly with you in no time."

"Huh? You're not happy with it?"

"H-how come? Trainers can't go without Poké Balls, right?"

"What?! But...what about my purpose?"

Unfavora-ball Conditions

"Ta-da! It's your good friend Ball Guy!"

"I'm giving out Poké Balls... Er, or useful items!"

"Please remember your mate–Ball Guy!"

"*sigh* I really want to give out these Poké Balls..."

"But even when I do, it doesn't make anyone happy..."

"What should I do, Amoonguss?"

"I was able to make it this far because I'm with you."

"But now..."

"You never change, do you."

Off-screen

"You've looked like a ball ever since I met you."

On-screen

"Oh, I've got it!"

"There IS a kind of ball that could be useful on Pasio!"

"But...how do I make friends with it here on Pasio?"

Ball Guy Goes Ball-istic

"Ball-ball-ball!"

"Now, all you skilled sync pairs, try and beat me!"

"Go, ball brigade!"

"Ball-ball-ball! Is that all you've got?"

"... ... ..."

"A new target! Give me all you got!"

"N-not too bad!"

"Hm?! It seems I'm outnumbered! I'll be rolling out for today!"

"Be prepared for next time! Ball-ball-ball!"

"Ball-ball-ball! Now, try and beat me!"

"Prepare to be shocked, Water-type Trainers!"

"Ball-ball-ball!"

"No matter how hard the rock is, I'm gonna blow it to bits!"

"Everyone's gonna explode!"

In flashback

"As a sign of our friendship, let me give you a wonderful Poké Ball!"

"Poké Balls are just full of surprises, don't you think?"

Ball Guy, Caught!

"Oh no! Is this as far as I roll?"

"I..."

"I wanted to make a name for myself on Pasio–and become the official mascot of the world..."

"Or rather...I wanted to cheer on everyone on Pasio!"

"I-I'm not lying!"

"I can't cheer on the people on Pasio by giving them Poké Balls..."

"So I figured I could help train everyone with ball-like Pokémon."

"But if I just challenged people to a battle, they would be suspicious of me and roll away."

"On this island, I saw a person named Brycen act in a play..."

"And I thought if I could take on the role of the villain like him, people would battle me seriously..."

"Hm?"

"I'm sorry, everyone..."

"Understood!"

"Oh, that..."

"A kind scientist and an unusual Pokémon helped me out!"

"Oh! That's them over there!"

"But...I can't give out Poké Balls, and I can't battle anyone..."

"What should I do now?"

"Oh..."

Official Mascot Aspirations

"A-ahhh..."

"Thanks, everyone!"

"We're still rolling!"

"Let's battle again, Masked Royal!"

"Sure! Of course!"

Off-screen

"Say "ball"!"

On-screen

"Let's do the usual, everyone! Ready?"

"Doldrums defying!"

"Thanks for everything today, Lisia!"

"As a sign of our friendship, let me give you a present!"

"The gift is...a Love Ball!"

"This ball is quite pretty–and looks nice when you bring a Pokémon out of it!"

"It's perfect for an idol like you, Lisia!"

"How about this?"

"Put this here...and done! This is Poké Ball curry!"

"I threw in loads of superhot spices!"

"It's because you all cheered me on, Victor!"

"In order to become the best sync pair with Amoonguss..."

"I'm gonna try everything–and cheer everyone on!"

"I'll work hard so that one day, I'll be recognized as an official mascot!"

My Secret Hideout!
Before collecting all the items

Before battle

"Welcome to my hideout! Only those who can hand over a specific something are allowed in!"

"If you beat me in a battle, I'll give you a nice present! Ready to roll?"

After being defeated

"Not bad! Why don't you choose something from my special collection to take with you?"

"Come on! Open up your favorite Poké Ball!"

If spoken to

"You might find something rare!"

"I'd love it if you kept rolling by and got the whole collection!"

"I wonder..."

"Why do these Poké Balls contain items instead of Pokémon?"

"Poké Balls are just full of surprises, don't you think?"

After choosing an item

"Heheh! If you want to come again, you know what to bring me!"

After choosing the last item

"Congratulations! You got the entire collection!"

"I'm gonna stay on the ball and keep supporting everyone on Pasio!"

After collecting all the items

"I don't have anything else in my collection..."

"But I want you to have something, so take this!"

"Oh, unbelieva-ball! It's actually a Spheal!"

"Oh! That Voltorb!"

"It's not my Pokémon, but I've been looking for it!"

When spoken to in the third area

"I see, I see... That's understanda-ball!"

After speaking to Amoonguss in the third area

"Amoonguss... We're not finding any of them..."

Should we head back?: "Maybe we should head back and report what we've found so far..."

I won't give up!: "No! We can keep searching!"

After speaking to the Preschooler in the third area, off-screen

"Hello there, young lady! Have you seen any Voltorb around here?"

"Come on! Let's roll on home!"

After speaking to the Camper in the third area, off-screen

"Actually, that's a Pokémon! It's probably a Voltorb!"

"But...this small tree is in the way, so I can't go over and round it up!"

"Then it's time to use my secret technique!"

"Hyaaah!"

"I'm glad my secret practice with that paid off!"

After tapping the Voltorb on the far right of the third area, off-screen*

"Oh, that's where you were hiding! Come with me!"

"We rounded up the whole gang! Outstanding!"

If the player heads back after finding all ten Voltorb

"We found all the Voltorb!"

"Oh my! That makes me feel so honora-ball!"

If the player heads back after finding less than ten Voltorb

"We couldn't find all the Voltorb..."

"You're very welcome. We'll definitely find them all next time!"

Pasio #4: Didja Notice?
Off-screen, as "???"

"In case you were wondering, I'm not just any old Poké Ball! But then who am I, you ask?"

On-screen, as Ball Guy

"I'm none other than your mate—the Ball Guy!"

Sync Pair Story - A Day with Ball Guy

"Hey there! Thanks for rolling by to have a chat with your mate—the Ball Guy!"

"I'm sure you want me to give you a wonderful Poké Ball, right, <player>?"

"Oh... You don't?"

"My bad! Sometimes even the children on Pasio ask me for them, so I just assumed!"

"I'm super popular here on Pasio now!"

"Well...I'd like to be, anyhow. But right now, I'm still sort of just recogniza-ball, right?"

"If I stay on the ball, I'll be so popular that everyone on Pasio will think I'm adora-ball!"

"Then I'll be on a roll toward finally becoming the Galar Pokémon League official mascot..."

"Er, never mind that!"

"Anyhow, as a mascot, I want to be proactive about cheering people on!"

I feel the support!: "Thanks! And that's not all I'm good for!"

You don't battle?: "Why? Do you want me to join your team?!"

"I have a super dependa-ball partner Pokémon, so I'm sure I can be of some help!"

"Amoonguss and I have been great friends ever since he was a Foongus! We often practice dancing together!"

"Oh, and just so you know, Amoonguss isn't a Poké Ball!"

"He sometimes pretends to be a Poké Ball, but he's a Pokémon through and through!"

"I mean, I could tell he wasn't actually a Poké Ball from the first time we met!"

"You should be wary of other Pokémon that pretend to be Poké Balls!"

"If you try to grab one thinking it's a Poké Ball, it might shock you...or even explode!"

"There's even a Pokémon that lures in prey using its Poké Ball–colored lips!"

"Poké Balls are just full of surprises, don't you think?"

"You should really learn about Poké Balls so you're not tricked by Pokémon that disguise as them!"

I will!: "You're sure on the ball, <player>!"

Please, teach me about Poké Balls!: "Sure!"
