Assembly tips

If you want to take the "DIY" or "Partially Assembled" route, I recommend having at least these things at the ready for when you are going to assemble your kit. Taking the proper precautions allows you to have all the fun and as little worries as possible during your assembly.

• CA (cyanoacrylate) glue
  • Feel free to use your favorite brand, but make sure it has an application tip!
  • If you never used it before: a little smear of glue goes a long way!
  • And of course: use protection for your hands and surfaces! This stuff really gets stuck.
• Tweezers
  • Can be useful for keeping some small parts in place if needed
• A sheet or some paper to work on
  • Just make sure you don't damage any surfaces
• Proper protective gear for your hands, eyes, etc.
  • Wear a long sleeve shirt, even hand and eye protection when needed.
• Take your time and enjoy the process!
  • It's all about having fun and seeing your work progress as you go, so take your time and stop to admire the details of what you're doing every now and then.

And now, some trivia

Not a Real Poké Ball
Despite its name, the Team Aqua Ball is not an actual item or Poké Ball you can obtain or use in the mainline Pokémon games. It’s a fictionalized design featured in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, representing Team Aqua’s branding rather than a functional capture tool.

Team Aqua’s Hideout Connection
In Pokémon Sapphire and Emerald, you can find the Aqua Hideout (Team Aqua’s base) is located near Lilycove City. While the Team Aqua Ball doesn’t appear as an item here, the hideout is where players encounter Aqua Grunts and Admins using Pokémon like Carvanha, Zubat, and Mightyena, which are often associated with Team Aqua’s aquatic theme.

Symbolic Representation
The Team Aqua Ball design, featuring the team’s anchor-shaped logo, symbolizes their mission to expand the sea. Though not usable in gameplay, it reflects the team’s identity and is often seen in promotional materials and fan art.

Kyogre’s Awakening
Team Aqua’s ultimate goal in Pokémon Emerald is to awaken Kyogre, the legendary sea Pokémon. This storyline culminates in a dramatic clash between Kyogre and Groudon in Sootopolis City, with Rayquaza intervening to restore balance. While the Team Aqua Ball isn’t used in this event, it thematically ties into their obsession with oceanic expansion.
