Lure Ball

Lure Ball is a specialized type of Poké Ball introduced in Generation II that offers increased catch rates for Pokémon encountered via fishing. Specifically, the Lure Ball triples the catch rate for Pokémon hooked using a fishing rod, making it particularly useful for capturing Water-type Pokémon in scenarios where fishing is the primary method of encounter.

Effects: - Catch Rate Multiplication: When used on a Pokémon encountered through fishing, the Lure Ball multiplies the standard catch rate of the Pokémon by three. For example, a Pokémon with a base catch rate of 30 would have an effective catch rate of 90 when targeted with a Lure Ball. - Generational Variations: In Generations II, III, and IV, the Lure Ball's enhanced catch rate mechanic is consistent. However, starting in Generation V, the Lure Ball's availability is limited due to changes in how Apricorn Balls are distributed, mainly through special events or specific in-game trades.
