Flavor Text
A somewhat different Poké Ball that becomes progressively more effective at catching Pokémon the more turns that are taken in battle.
Short Effect
Its multiplier starts at 1× and rises by about 0.3× per completed turn, reaching 4× after 10 completed turns.
Effect
Attempts to catch a wild Pokémon. In Sword and Shield, its Ball multiplier is min(1 + completed turns × 1229/4096, 4). It is 1× on the first turn and reaches 4× after 10 completed turns, on turn 11. For a Max Raid capture, the turn counter advances before throwing the Ball. 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
