you have to go to the pokemon mansion south of heartthrome city and you have to go into the trophy garden and then you have to look for wild pikachus and catch them. look at their summary to see if they are holding the light ball. i dont know how long it will take but for me it was on first pikachu caught.
its really hard to get a light ball, theres a 5 % that a Pikachu can be holding it. Make sure you have the TM thief or covet or you, won't know if it is holding a light ball or not so make sure you have it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
catch alot of pikachus or use thief on them until one 5%pikachu has the light ball mostly i caught one in Pokemon diamond and got the light ball
use thief on red's pickachu to steal a light ball
Light ball in Pokemon Diamond & Pearlthis is how i do it. first you get a pikachu that knows thief and put him in the top of your party, then go to the garden at route 212 at the house and either run around tell you find a pikachu or use your poke radar. then you go to your box and get a ditto and give the light ball to the pikachu that knows thief then put it in the daycare and they will breed an egg and when it hatched you will get a pichu that knows VOLT TACKLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you don't!
In order to preform this trick you must have a Pokemon that knows "Thief", and a Ditto. Enter a double battle with a Ditto without your master ball and a Pokemon holding the master ball you want to duplicate. Make Ditto transform into the Pokemon holding the master ball. Switch the Pokemon holding the master ball with the Pokemon that knows Thief. Use Thief on Ditto. Win the Pokemon battle. The Thief now has a duplicate of the master ball. ~ Above Glitch by: GameWinners.com~ The Anonymous Pokémon Master.Total Caught: 487/487 + Shiny Complete.TRAINER TIP: A lot of people make the mistake of using the the Master Ball on Dialga/Palkia or other difficult Pokemon. I instead recommend using a regular poke ball (or a primer ball on Legendaries or shinies) immedietely, on the top screen when the ball opens to release it's light press the middle of the poke ball on the bottom screen. If done correctly you'll be able to catch all Pokemon without weakening with a 100% catch rate.
It is rare because only few pikachus are holding it so try to capture as many as possible and search for the light ball or use thief
Get a Pokemon that knows thief. Find a spot where a lot of Pikachu are. When in battle with Pikachu, use thief and if they don't have a item, run away from that battle. Keep doing that and sooner or later you will find a Pikachu with a light ball. I hope I helped :)
I do not know it but you can get it by trading your Pikachu from Generation 1 (Yellow). It is sure to have a Light Ball. My estimation is 5% by using 'Thief' on wild Pikachus.
It is really hard to get one. On Pokemon Platinum you need to find PIchu/Pikachu and catch it or use thief and if your lucky enough it will be holding a light ball. I
specifically made for pikachu to hold
