Item Text

In-game Flavor Text

A BALL for catching heavy Pokémon.

Short Effect

Adds to or subtracts from catch rate according to the wild Pokémon’s weight.

Effect

Used in battle: Subtracts 20 from the catch rate below 102.4 kg; gives no adjustment from 102.4 to 204.7 kg; adds 20 at 204.8 kg, 30 at 307.2 kg, or 40 at 409.6 kg and above. The adjusted catch rate is limited to 1–255. Crystal-specific exception: an incorrect weight-bank lookup treats Kadabra, Tauros and Sunflora as heavy enough for the +40 catch-rate bonus. Sunflora is not normally encountered in the wild in Crystal.
