Do Pokeballs effect natures?

Question

So, I was on Discord and I saw someone say that Pokeballs effect natures. I didn't think that this mattered, so I'm a bit confused. Anyone mind confirming if it's right or wrong? Thank you for your help!

If you mean catching Pokemon in different Poke balls influences their natures, that would be impossible because natures are set when the Pokemon is encountered and before it's caught.

Answer 1

I have not heard of such a thing before. See Bulbapedia for how natures are determined,

Furthermore, there is no mention of affecting natures on the Pokeball page.

The only way I know of manipulating a nature of a Pokémon encountered in the wild is by leading your party with a Pokémon have the ability "Synchronize" and the desired nature. However it is not always guaranteed that this works (50/50).

yeah, i synchronize for natures, but poke-balls have never affected natures.
