Effect
Manual activation
When used from the Bag in a wild encounter, it attempts to catch the wild Pokémon. If used against a Water- or Bug-type Pokémon, it has an increased catch rate modifier (no additional bonus is applied if the Pokémon is both of these types). If the wild Pokémon's type has been changed during the battle by an effect such as Soak, the ball uses the new type for the purposes of calculation
Generations III to VI
If used against a Water- or Bug-type Pokémon, the Net Ball has a 3× catch rate modifier; otherwise, it has a 1× modifier.
Generation VII onward
If used against a Water- or Bug-type Pokémon, the Net Ball has a 3.5× catch rate modifier; otherwise, it has a 1× modifier. If used on an Ultra Beast, the catch rate modifier is instead always set to 410/4096× (~0.1×).
