Gotta catch'em all!
If you are a true Pokémon fan, one of your goals is definitely to complete the Pokédex. Sword and Shield Pokémon they boast about 400 creatures to capture in total, a number certainly not indifferent. But any self-respecting trainer knows that you also need the right ball to ensure a higher percentage of capture, since the level of the Pokémon is only one of the characterizing factors.
Various types of balls are available in the game, each of which can be purchased or obtained in specific locations. To make your work easier and avoid turning every point on the map to find the ones you are looking for, below is a table with all the balls of Sword and Shield Pokémon.
