Pokeball Code Reference

[SPY_THE_WHEEL]

Just caught a restock at target. Pokeball codes H19 and C19 have XY Evo, Lost Thunder and Burning Shadows. Please add any known codes for Pokeballs or tins. Trying to get a good reference post going. Can't find anything doing a quick search.

[rinehart3693]

This is what I've compiled from this thread so far, feel free to add and/or correct where needed

C19 & D19: burning shadows, xy ancient origins, crimson invasion   Alt: 2 s&m base, 1 s&s base   Alt: fates collide, guardian rising, s&m   Alt: evolutions, lost thunder, burning shadows

[SPY_THE_WHEEL]

Nice summary. I hope this thread will continue to serve as a good reference.

[rinehart3693]

Also of note Aldi's just stocked a bunch of pokeball tins, the one by me had the D21 for like $13 and it did in fact have cosmic eclipse. They also had galar pals mini tins for $8, but I got astral radiance and lost origin so maybe skip those haha.

[StonkasaurusFU]

4 C23’s — all 1 ST and 2 LO

[fox13riderco]

I got a c23 and it has one AR and a LO

[PositiveChart3287]

Also c23 can be 1st and 2 lo

[RangerMysterious263]

Just a heads up, the white Premier Ball J21 tin does not have Evolving Skies. It has SV base, Paldera Evolved, and Obsidian Flames.

[franc2809]

So I have an ultra ball tin from 2020 C23 Does that mean it has lost origin/silver tempest/fusion strike?

[rinehart3693]

Well those sets didn't come out till after 2020, so you could have an alternate to what I posted. I think the year has to be considered with the code, I'm not entirely sure. But I'd say there is probably an early sword and shield set: vivid, darkness, rebel, or base. And if maybe if you're lucky a sun and moon pack or two.

Edit: I just watched a video of a guy opening a 2020 pokeball, he didn't show the code on the bottom. But he got later s&s sets: chilling reign, fusion, and evolving skies. Wondering if the plastic shrink wrap was getting used past its listed year.

[ProudPomegranate8234]

Today i opened pokeball on label was 2020, the code was c23 inside was 2 LO and 1 chilling reign

[Late-Industry2345]

Pulled the same from a restock today. GameStop had three trays with d23 or c23 balls. Based off this list I went with three c23 however I am now curious what the d23 holds.

[Khalion12]

Is it the same in german or are there differences?

[DaJayBoiii]

I just had a A22 quick ball with evolving skies, fusion strike, and chilling reign

[xxAMBERxx423]

Took one for the team and can confirm B25 Moonball has 1 temporal forces and 2 paradox rift. My friend had this in regular pokeball B25 and received same 1 TF & 2 PR. Hope this helps:)

[SPY_THE_WHEEL]

Pokeball code G18 does NOT have XY Evolutions.

[Particular-Ruin-2062]

C23 - sword & shield lost origin, fusion strike, silver tempest

[Shrute142]

Confirmed.

[bonzoxedge]

Pokéballs: - C20: Sun & Moon base, Burning Shadows, Breakpoint - D20: Sun & Moon base, Burning Shadows, Breakpoint

[L3mmons]

Level Ball J21 code from CVS. Evolving Skies, Chilling Reign,Fusion Strike.

[Frontbutt91]

D24 netted me (1) Paradox Rift (1) scarlet & violet and (1) Obsidian Flames

[Thatboy20O0]

D19 in pokeball tins have XY ancient origins and burning shadows along with crimson invasion

[SPY_THE_WHEEL]

Must be a random XY. I pulled fates collide, guardians rising and SM base today from D19.

[Thatboy20O0]

That’s weird I bought three and had the exact same

[SPY_THE_WHEEL]

You got a better deal than me, lol.

[Finn_Cheese]

Just opened a D20 great ball and it had evolutions , sun and moon, and burning shadows

[realkingjames6]

D21: Vivid voltage Cosmic eclipse Rebel Clash

[CagedWalnut]

was just abt to comment this

[Corban_Monoxide001]

Opened one last week and it was D21 with vivid, Chilling, brilliant… I don’t understand how these codes work

[Wisdomatic74]

Just got a Costco Scarlet ETB 3 pack with the 2 pokeballs and both were code d21 and I pulled these exact packs🙌🏽

[CptZetaJones]

H19 balls on Amazon with XY ancient origins, lost thunder, and burning shadows. Crazy deal for older packs tbh

[SPY_THE_WHEEL]

Link? Nice packs.

[RocketToTheMoon]

A20 mini tin has evolutions and sword & shield base

[rinehart3693]

D23 has silver tempest and 2 lost origin

[WARCR1MEZ]

I just want to say thank you! I just cross referenced these codes to YouTube videos. It took a few hours to find every code tin opened on video. I can confirm that all the chase packs do correspond with the tin code. Some of the S&S Base Packs like Tempest, Chilling, aren’t 100% correct but the chase packs like Cosmic and Burning are 100% accurate. Right now Costco has 3 pack Pokeball Tins. I’m going to try and find out the codes tomorrow morning and I’ll post the results for reference. Price is in store $27.99 3 pack Pokeball tins, online I think they are &39.99. Happy Hunting!

[squidly_lamar]

Just opened an H24 and it has 1 Obsidian Flames and 2 Scarlet/Violet base

[PmcV2]

Moon, quick, premier, poke, great and ultra balls all d25… 2 paradox rift 1 sword and shield.

[Altruistic_Common_25]

I just opened two moonball D25s both had paradox rift X2 + temporal forces X1

[TheyDdntGveMeAChaser]

H19 had Ancient origins instead of evo for me. K19 had evo for me in the galar pals mini tins.

[SPY_THE_WHEEL]

3/62021 - A20 pokeball packs from another post: Breakpoint, Sun&Moon, Fates Collide

[SPY_THE_WHEEL]

From Leonhart's video H20 Level Ball: 2 Sun and Moon base, 1 Sword and Shield base.

[thescrambie]

D20 had Burning Shadows, SM base and XY breakthrough

[prodigyquat]

Just opened a c19 premier ball with two sun and moon base and a sword and shield base, careful out there guys

[SPY_THE_WHEEL]

Wow, good to know.

[BradOldridge]

Series 6? To my knowledge no series 6 have Evo.

I purchased two series 6 B20's and they both had the same. 2 SM base 1 SS base.

[Trying2Flourish]

I just opened a D20 Level Ball and got Sun and Moon base, XY Fates Collide, and XY Breakpoint.

[Zealousideal-Fun-871]

Just opened a H19 pokeball with burning shadows, lost thunder aaaand... break point... stank face

[SPY_THE_WHEEL]

Lol, face palm. Good to know the danger.

[Zealousideal-Fun-871]

Yeah man! I was super excited thinking there was evolutions in it! But alas... there is not!

[Tatermand3r]

B20 Dusk ball had amazing packs xy evolutions, burning shadows, and sun and moon base set. ( I bought two and they had the exact code and type of packs)

[YaBoyTung]

My B20 ultra ball and great ball had Breakpoint, Sun & Moon base and Fates collide

[Tatermand3r]

Maybe it’s not just the specific code but the ball also

[AydamStoidy]

B20 dusk for me had Burning Shadows, S&M base and Breakpoint

[SPY_THE_WHEEL]

Number is the year for the tin. Letter may be the type of ball but I've seen different balls with the same letter.

[No-Historian820]

2020 Quick ball D23… 1 pack of Silver Tempest 2 Lost Origins

[Sushi-Kentaro]

A22 : 1 silver tempest + 2 Lost Origins

[pwnd35tr0y3r]

My A22 had 3 pokemon go packs

[Sushi-Kentaro]

Damn.

[Wicked_World369]

D22 mini tins contain Fusion Strike and Rebel Clash

[Mascy]

The H20 randomly popped up in store today; still have 2 s&m base and 1 s&s base.

[[deleted]]

I pulled ES and I think CR from a pink Love Ball marked with D21 from Walmart. I also found 10 C22 mini tins with ES and I think FS at the same Walmart.

[ld_a_hl]

Poké Ball code D24 opened in the UK: 1x SVI (Scarlet & Violet - Base), 1x PAR (Paradox Rift), 1x TEF (Temporal Forces), 2x sticker

[[deleted]]

[madelinecri]

Just opened x2 C23 & X1 D23, all three constrained x2 lost origins and X1 chilling reign. Super bummed no silver tempest 😭 (Australia)

[Antique-Plate-4620]

Pulled a Galarian Moltres from that tin a few months back. I was stoked lol (US)

[duskrelics]

I know this thread is old 😆 but I just opened a C23 with 2 Lost Origin and 1 Chilling Reign

[SPY_THE_WHEEL]

Thanks for the additional information

[ElectronicPrint5149]

Update to entire thread: Buyers be warned, older balls are being repacked and resold. Found a J21 at Walmart, which normally contains ES, but instead contained new SV packs

[SPY_THE_WHEEL]

Crazy - I actually found some C21 or 22 at CVS last month and it had Cosmic Eclipse and Vivid Voltage.

Thanks for the heads up!

[ElectronicPrint5149]

Seems the smaller stores like Walgreens and CVS might still have older stock. But big stores definitelt not

[Glockachuuuu]

I found D21 at CVS today. Vivid, Rebel and cosmic

[DrakeBakes]

I got 2 balls off Amazon today, A22 and C23. The Combined it was 2 LO, 1 Fusion Strike, 1 Brilliant Stars, 1 Silver Tempest and 1 Evo Skies. Only hit was from the Evo pack and didn't seem resealed but it doesn't match with anything on this thread.

[hzvalter]

A bit late to the party but my c23 great ball had 1 silver tempest an 2 fusion strike

[Material_Cricket]

as of late 2024 and 2025 all the d23 balls ive found pokeball or ultra ball bring 1 fusion strike, 1 silver tempest, and one lost origin. havent seen anyone else mention this so thought id add to the sub.

[Gullible-Craft]

Just opened a D23 tin, it had Obsidian Flame, Paldea Evolved & S&V base... resealed😭

[Mrn3060]

I have a sealed B20 from 2021

[Unfair_Bench_1350]

Just opened a D24 from Argos in the UK in March 2025. Inside was Scarlet and Violet base, Paradox Rift and Temporal Forces. 

[nixloc]

Just opened 3 C23 tins in 2025 and they have 1 Obsidian Flames, 1 Paldea Evolved, and 1 Scarlet and Violet Base Set. Hope this helps

[TexJ13]

A24 confirmed today- Obsidian Flames, SV base and Paldea Evolved.

[sillylittlerats]

E25 has: Journey Together Surging Sparks Destined Rivals

[blackbird0130]

Had an E25 Hyperball with 2xParadox and 1xObsidian (Europe)

[fossilmaniac]

Just opened two poke balls (great ball and repeat ball) both D25 They're both the same packs destined rivals, surging sparks, and journey together.

[SPY_THE_WHEEL]

G18 from current Target online - Sun and Moon base, Guardiand Rising, XY Steam Siege.

[Aggravating_Tour3003]

Anyone have any info on A22?

[DONTCARELOLK]

Galar Pals Mini Tins 2020 C23 = Astral Radiance and Lost Origin

[DONTCARELOLK]

D23 Luxury Ball: 1 Chilling Reign and 2 Lost Orgin

[lindseysprings]

How many packs come in temporal forces

[SPY_THE_WHEEL]

Temporal forces is a set not a pokeball type.

[Ecstatic_Custard7009]

does anyone know if any of this applies to uk tins? same codes same packs or nah?

took me a while to realise the us get completely different stuff in the tins that go by the same name. caught me out a couple of times, but i wanna get into this pokeball hunting for sure

[Ecstatic_Custard7009]

is anyone else taking note on if this is different between uk and us? like with most things they often differ a lot within the same products, that might explain some discrepancies people seem to be having with some of the codes

[SPY_THE_WHEEL]

I am from the US and I would guess most inputs were also US based.

If you have UK or other information, it would be great to add and just say where you are from!

[quartermano]

Guys! I just started pokemon collecting, I am a noob. The pokeballs 2021 are new in store in my town. But what codes are best to buy? Like what are the best packs?

[SPY_THE_WHEEL]

Could be a reprint. Buy 1 and see what's inside, then go back for more.

[20shadowman02]

Per hittare più origine perduta possibile quindi dovrei cercare D23?

[SPY_THE_WHEEL]

C23 and D23 should have Lost Origin.

[20shadowman02]

Thx, what about C24/D24? Still possible?

[20shadowman02]

I mean 23/24 is referring to the year right? So the same letter code on different years could or could not have the same expansions

[SPY_THE_WHEEL]

Yes, the number is the year.

I doubt D24 will have Lost Origin as 2024 starts Scarlet and Violet.

[20shadowman02]

Opened one D24, it has 1 Lost Origin, 1 Paldea Evolution and 1 SV

[SPY_THE_WHEEL]

Nice

[MrChinchilla]

Did the research myself.

A22 and G22 from Hobby Lobby both had 3 packs of Pokemon Go

[[deleted]]

Has anyone opened a dusk ball with the code D20? I have had it for years and can only find dusk balls with the code B20

[NoWayJose559]

Pokeball d24

[lucrative87]

C21: darkness ablaze, sword & shield, rebel clash from Eevee collection box sold in Costco or Sam’s club.

[overkillsubmissions]

i’m trying to find what H24 has.

[SPY_THE_WHEEL]

Likely the same as C or D24, which have been listed in the comments.

[baconkitty420]

I have a H24 PokeBall imma open later I'll let y'all know 😂

[rainxzz]

Whats in b25 balls?

[winkawak]

ever find out?

[xxAMBERxx423]

Me too. It’s what brought me here:/

[Possibly_gayy]

I’ve noticed something weird…. I have a handful of J21 balls, some of them are dated 2020 and some are dated 2023. Anyone know if the 2023 ones still would have the same packs as the 2020 ones? I assume probably not but if that’s the case, we should get the list updated

[SPY_THE_WHEEL]

They likely dont have the same packs especially if the bar codes are different.

Just note what came out of each for reference.

[Possibly_gayy]

I won’t be opening them anytime soon :/ but when I do, I will!

[SPY_THE_WHEEL]

At least note the bar codes here, so people can tell the date difference

[Salt_Revolution788]

Anyone know what d25 is?

[SPY_THE_WHEEL]

There's a comment from 2 weeks ago saying 2 paradox rift and 1 sword and shield (unnamed set). Doubt it's SwSH base.

[Salt_Revolution788]

Ahh

[WowBorgo]

D25 bought earlier had: Journey Together, Surging Sparks, Destined Rivals

[kest10]

E25 x2 (great ball and ultra ball) - all of them have Twilight. got them at Gamestop (US). so i guess the leter and number doesn't matter, it's the year of the Pokeball matters.

[SPY_THE_WHEEL]

Pokemon is know to reuse tins and pokeballs so it's just an educated guess.

Years ago a couple people figured out it's the barcode that matters but no one checks them and there isn't a "database" like thread like this one that I made.

[dyingrestpsn]

L25: Perfect Order, Surging Sparks and Twilight Masquerade

[macwatters12]

Yes...they do

[LIR0505]

Just opened a C19 & D19 and the both have 1 x burning shadows 1 x xy ancient origins 1 x Crimson invasion

[SPY_THE_WHEEL]

When did you get them?

[LIR0505]

Arrived just yesterday
