Flavor Text
A Poké Ball that makes it easier to catch Pokémon that are at a lower level than your own Pokémon.
Short Effect
1×, 2×, 4× or 8× depending on how much higher your active Pokémon’s level is.
Effect
Attempts to catch a wild Pokémon. Its Ball multiplier is 8× if your active Pokémon’s level divided by four and rounded down is at least the target’s level; otherwise 4× if your level divided by two and rounded down is at least the target’s level; otherwise 2× if your level is greater than the target’s, and 1× otherwise. For example, level 50 against level 25 gives 4×. 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
Gift or reward
