I know the smaller (cheaper) elemental Subetaballs break and you loose them permanently when you use them, but do you also loose the regular Subetaball after a single use..?

If so, please inform me...

I'm considering buying one, but if it's gonna vanish after one use, I think I'll reconsider that idea...

The regular Subetaball is once per battle. Just note that you can't steal from all opponents, and you must unequip the Blackmoon Blaster because its also a stealer.

so it won't vanish permanently like the others..?

The regular Subetaball will not vanish permanently. I have one and its usable once per battle.

^-^ awesome and thanks!
