The problem

I saw this problem in Pokemon master journey

In episode 15 goh tried to catch a gorebyys and because of the water resistance he can't catch it

This thing got my attention so I started to invent a new thing

It could be a special capsule inspired by the capsules used for beautiful pokemon Contest entries, but designed specifically for underwater use.

The underwater capsule

features:

Water intakes to manage water flow around the capsule.

Water intakes to help manage waterflow.

An airbag/buoyancy system to bring the Poké Ball back to the surface.

GPS/tracking to help the Trainer find it if a wave or current moves it away.

How it is going to work:

This is a capsule like the Contest capsules, not a new Poké Ball.

1. The Trainer puts one of their own Poké Balls inside the Underwater Capsule and closes it.

2. The Trainer throws the capsule toward an underwater Pokémon.

3. The water-intake system helps control the water flow and reduce some of the resistance, allowing the Poké Ball to move more freely underwater.

4. The Poké Ball can then attempt to catch the Pokémon.

5. Whether the Pokémon is captured or the attempt fails, an airbag inside the capsule activates and brings the Poké Ball back toward the surface.

6. If a wave or current carries it away, the tracking system helps the Trainer locate it and retrieve the Poké Ball.

This would give Trainers a special way to use their existing Poké Balls underwater without making the Underwater Capsule itself a new type of Poké Ball.
