Flavor Text
A somewhat different Poké Ball that becomes more effective the lower the level of the wild Pokémon.
Short Effect
Up to 4× effectiveness for low-level Pokémon; 1× at level 30 or higher.
Effect
Attempts to catch a wild Pokémon. For target levels 1–29 in Sword and Shield, its Ball multiplier is floor((41 − level) × 4096 / 10) / 4096. At level 30 or higher the multiplier is 1×. The maximum is 4× at level 1. If thrown in a Trainer battle, the Trainer bats it away; the turn is wasted but the Ball is returned rather than consumed.
