Heavy Ball

Heavy Ball is a type of Poké Ball introduced in Generation II, specifically in Pokémon Gold and Silver. It is one of the special Poké Balls developed by Kurt, the Poké Ball craftsman from Azalea Town, using Apricorns.

The Heavy Ball is unique because it is especially effective against heavier Pokémon. Unlike standard Poké Balls, which have a fixed catch rate modifier, the catch rate of the Heavy Ball varies based on the weight of the target Pokémon. Here's a breakdown of how the weight affects the capture rate:

• For Pokémon weighing 451.1 lbs (204.8 kg) or more, the catch rate is increased by +40.
• For Pokémon weighing between 220.5 lbs (100.0 kg) and 451.0 lbs (204.8 kg), the catch rate is increased by +30.
• For Pokémon weighing between 44.1 lbs (20.0 kg) and 220.4 lbs (99.9
