“The Integrate Defence Embankment (IDE’s) are primarily single-use, defence-oriented devices that release a conditioned Pokémon upon impact to thwart perceived threats. We initially conceived of them as a deterrent against tech thieves and certain Pokémon which like to infest labs. The devices are currently at their beta testing phase. A camera locks onto unauthorized targets and deploys a pseudo ball, which when shattered, releases an aggressive Pokémon conditioned for immediate defensive actions”

Silph Co’s controversial design for location defence. The pseudoball isn’t a true Pokéball but is instead a one-time use ball, it shatters on impact releasing the stored Pokémon. The entire project is still in the late design stages with production halted after the Pokemon League Ethics Committee interjected and began a series of intense audits. Despite not being available in the private sector Team Retro Rocket have seemingly procured enough of the designs and discarded remnants of older models to recreate these turrets to defend their holdouts.
When an intruder is detected the turret locks on a releases a pseudoball containing a well trained guard Pokémon, should the Pokémon be defeated a wall mounted beam emitter returns the Pokémon to a local infirmary and the turret releases the next ball in the sequence. These guard Pokémon work in shifts to alleviate stress and tension.
Rumours persist of homemade designs based on these Silph Co. systems being used by unscrupulous sorts around Kanto and beyond. Even worse, there’s word that the pseudoballs have been fitted with modified Simulated Battle Ball technology to increase the aggression of the guard Pokémon and reduce their need for healing.
