33 Capture Light Ball (捕光球) is the Season 1 commemorative Gulu Ball. It is tied to the Dark Night Collecting Light season and the Starlight currency theme. The ball is positioned as a budget alternative to the King Ball: it guarantees capture, but it does not grant the Amazing Talent trait bonus.

1011 The Capture Light Ball and the King Ball both guarantee capture, but the King Ball additionally guarantees the Amazing Talent trait. For rare spirits where trait quality matters (main PvP team, leader transformations), the King Ball is worth the higher Roco Shell cost. For spirits where the talent is not critical (dex completion, recall material, casual cultivation), the Capture Light Ball is the more efficient choice.
