Pokéballs, albeit a pretty easy way to annoy Charkol, still exist alongside the maroon charizard, making for the occasional layer of complexity if he's in the wrong place at the wrong time. The use of these devices are pretty rare as they often buy time for a fairly-prepared anthropomorphic pokémon to bide their time and take care of the issue, but anyone who can comparatively match Charkol in brawn and size most likely isn't leaning on the ball as a crutch. Alcina, well into following Team Rocket's agenda, quite boldly made sure that she was looking for a fight whether or not the pokéball was going to be used or not!
