Nest-Ball 
Nest Ball is a type of Poké Ball in the Pokémon series that offers a higher catch rate for Pokémon that are at lower levels. Specifically, its effectiveness increases as the wild Pokémon's level decreases, making it particularly useful for catching weaker or early-game Pokémon.
Effects:
- Catch Rate: The catch rate of a Nest Ball is determined by the formula:
- ( \text{Catch Rate} = \frac{(40 - \text{wild Pokémon's Level})}{10} )
- This means that for a low-level Pokémon, the catch rate multiplier can go up to a maximum of 4× (at Level 1), while for higher-level Pokémon, it becomes less effective, eventually equating to a standard Poké Ball (1×) at Level 30 and above.
Interesting Facts:
- Introduction: The Nest Ball was introduced in Generation III of the Pokémon games, specifically starting with Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire.
