˚✧ Description ✧༚✿
A Power Ball is an energy sphere used by Saiyans to mimic the presence of a full moon. The orb appears to be about the size of a volley ball when first created but once mixed with the atmosphere it appears far larger and easily radiates the face of the planet in artificial moonlight.
By combining ki with the planet's atmosphere, a sphere of condensed Blutz Waves is created. Using this, a Saiyan can achieve the Great Ape transformation even when a full moon (or similar planetary body) is not present. However, using the technique is apparently very tiring, so it is primarily used as a last resort, and even Saiyans that can use it prefer to transform using a planetary body (Vegeta mentioned to Goku that he planned his trip to Earth to coincide with the full moon in an attempt to avoid using the technique). The Power Ball disappears after 90 minutes.
A Power Ball was first used by Vegeta during his battle against Goku. This same Power Ball would later be used against Vegeta when Goku tells Gohan to look at it to transform.
The technique is seen again during flashback in the anime series. It takes place while Dodoria's explanation of Freeza's use of the Saiyans. An unnamed Saiyan warrior is seen performing the technique so that he and his comrades can transform into Great Apes.
˚✧ Effect ✧༚✿ Forces tailed Saiyans within the range of sight to enter the Ōzaru form (Great Ape Form) without the presence of a full moon for 90 minutes (10 rotations of posts.)
