If used on an [[Ultra Beast]], the catch rate modifier is instead always set to 0.1×.
 
The Nest 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 [[Island challenge|trial]] Pokémon. If used in a Trainer battle (except if used as a [[Snag Ball]] on a [[Shadow Pokémon]]), the opposing Trainer will deflect the ball, wasting the item. If used on the [[Marowak (ghost)|ghost Marowak]], it will dodge the ball, wasting it.

Effect

Manual activation

When used from the Bag in a wild encounter, it attempts to catch the wild Pokémon. If used against a low level Pokémon, it has an increased catch rate modifier, calculated as follows:

  • From Generation III to IV, ((40 - Pokémon's level) ÷ 10)×, minimum 1×
  • In Generation V, ((41 - Pokémon's level) ÷ 10)×, minimum 1×
  • From Generation VI onward, ((41 - Pokémon's level) ÷ 10)× if Pokémon's level is between 1 and 29, 1× otherwise

If used on an Ultra Beast, the catch rate modifier is instead always set to 0.1×.

The Nest 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 (except if used as a Snag Ball on a Shadow Pokémon), the opposing Trainer will deflect the ball, wasting the item. If used on the ghost Marowak, it will dodge the ball, wasting it.

Held item

Fling fails if the user is holding a Nest Ball.
