Quick-Ball 
Quick Ball is a type of Poké Ball in the Pokémon series renowned for its unique capture mechanism. It offers the best chance of success when thrown at the beginning of a wild Pokémon encounter. Specifically, the Quick Ball boasts a 5× catch rate multiplier if used on the very first turn.
