Here's the breakdown:
* Poké Ball: 1x catch rate
* Great Ball: 1.5x catch rate
* Ultra Ball: 2x catch rate
* Timer Ball: 1.5x catch rate
However, the Timer Ball has a special effect that makes it more valuable in certain situations:
* The catch rate increases by 1.5x for every turn the Pokémon has been in battle. This means the longer the battle goes on, the more effective the Timer Ball becomes.
This makes the Timer Ball a good choice for catching Pokémon that:
* Are very tough to catch: The longer you battle, the more likely you are to catch them.
* Have been in battle for a long time: The extra turns in battle will significantly boost the catch rate.
However, it's not as effective for:
* Pokémon you want to catch quickly: The extra turns in battle might make catching them even harder.
* Pokémon that are very easy to catch: The 1.5x bonus might not be enough to make a noticeable difference.
Ultimately, the best way to decide when to use a Timer Ball is to consider the situation and weigh the pros and cons.
