The Level Ball (Japanese: ルアーボール Level Ball) is a type of Poké Ball introduced in Generation II. It can be used to catch a wild Pokémon, being more likely to succeed the higher the Trainer's Pokémon's level is than the wild Pokémon's.
It is one of Kurt's signature Apricorn Poké Balls, and is made from Red Apricorns.

Effect
Manual activation
When used from the Bag in a wild encounter, it attempts to catch the wild Pokémon with the following catch rate modifiers:
- 1× if the player's Pokémon is less than or equal to the level of the wild Pokémon
- 2× if the player's Pokémon is at a higher level, but less than double, the level of the wild Pokémon
- 4× if the player's Pokémon is more than double, but less than four times, the level of the wild Pokémon
- 8× if the player's Pokémon is at a level at least four times that of the wild Pokémon
If used on an Ultra Beast, the catch rate modifier is instead always set to 0.1×.
The Level Ball cannot be used in situations in which Poké Balls cannot be used, such as in wild battles with two or more opponents currently present or against a trial Pokémon. If used in a Trainer battle, the opposing Trainer will bat the ball away, wasting the item.
Held item
Fling fails if the user is holding a Level Ball.
In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver only, Level Balls cannot be held. This is to prevent them being held by a Pokémon traded to Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, where the item does not exist.
