Flavor Text
A Poké Ball that is better than usual at catching very heavy Pokémon.
Short Effect
Has flat bonus or penalty to catch rate depending on weight class of target. Made from a Black Apricorn.
Effect
Used by a trainer in battle: Attempts to catch a wild Pokémon. The wild Pokémon’s catch rate is 30 more than normal if it weighs 300 kg (661.4 lb) or more, 20 more at 200 kg (440.9 lb) or more, unchanged at 100 kg (220.5 lb) or more, and 20 less below 100 kg. If thrown in a Trainer battle, the Trainer bats it away; the turn is wasted but the Ball is returned rather than consumed.
Where to Find
