A question that occasionally pops up in fan circles is whether a Pokémon could catch another Pokémon in a Poké Ball, and the anime has an answer.

Summary

Pikachu and Meowth demonstrate that a Pokémon can indeed use a Poké Ball to catch another Pokémon.
The Luxury Ball thrown by Pikachu captured Meowth temporarily, proving it would work.
While it is technically possible for a Pokémon to catch another Pokémon, there is no need to worry about a Pokémon catching its trainer, as Poké Balls do not work on humans.
