Pokeballs catch pokemon. You cannot catch pokemon or expand your pokemon collection without using pokeballs to catch them in. In order to catch a pokemon, depending on your skill level, it normally takes a few pokeballs. You can get more pokeballs again by finding them or buying them from a general store.
