Does ball type affect the distance a captured Pokemon can be thrown?
Some types of Pokeballs have different throw ranges when catching Pokémon. Do the different Pokeball throw ranges apply to captured Pokémon? IE: Can a Pokémon caught in a Feather Ball be thrown further than a Pokémon caught in a Heavy Ball?
Best Answer
After doing some tests in the village with 3 pokemon caught in an Ultra Ball, Jet Ball, and Gigaton Ball, there was no difference in how far I could throw the Pokémon. I was able to throw all three pokeball types from the gate to roughly where the hair salon was located.
However,there was a speed difference when throwing the various pokeball. Here is a video I recorded showing the equal distance and speeds, which this answer broke down more accurately

How do you catch Pokémon far away?
The jist of getting pokemon really far away (and catching pokemon in general) is: Spin the ball before getting ready to throw it - that is, move it in a circular motion. You can spin it quickly and it will spin for 1-2 seconds after you stop spinning.How do you throw longer Pokémon?

Answer 2
I did some testing, and my opinion is no: throw distances are the same.
From the same spot, aiming at the same item, and fully loaded throw, Leaden ball distance is exactly the same as Wing ball.
(I haven't unlocked Gigaton and Jet yet, but they shouldn't make any difference.)
However, the throw speed seems different. "Heavy" balls appears to be slower than "Feather" counterparts.
