A Level Ball is a somewhat different Poké Ball which becomes more effective when used on Pokémon at a lower level than the lead Pokémon. It can be obtained by crafting it, buying from a shopkeeper, or as a tier 1 special drop,
The catch rate for the Level Ball is:
- 1× if the lead Pokémon is the same level or a lower level than the wild Pokémon.
- 2× if the lead Pokémon is above the level and less than double the level of the wild Pokémon.
- 4× if the lead Pokémon is between double and quadruple the level of the wild Pokémon.
- 8× if the lead Pokémon is quadruple the level or more of the wild Pokémon.
Crafting
A Level Ball lid, a button, and an iron base or aluminium base are needed to craft a Level Ball.
To craft a Level Ball lid, one cooked Yellow Apricorn, one cooked Red Apricorn and one cooked Black Apricorn are needed. Placing the three cooked apricorns in a row horizontally in a crafting table, in that order, will produce a Level Ball disc, which can be used on an anvil to make it into a Level Ball lid.
