Timer Ball
Information
Sell: 500
First Appearance: Generation III
Catch Rate: (4x thru 1x)

Timer Ball is a type of Poké Ball used for catching Pokémon. For every ten turns that pass in a battle with a wild Pokémon, the chances of success for capturing the Pokémon increases. Its starting effectiveness is no better than that of a standard Poké Ball. It has a black, white, and red top with the sides of the top half being black also along with what looks like a cooking timer type handle in orange pointing toward the button. It has a better catch rate the more turns there are before using it.

## Catch Rate

Generation III and IV

$\Omega_{TBGenIIIandIV} = \frac {\tau + 10}{10}$

τ - Amount of number of turns

Generation V

$\Omega_{TBGenV} = \frac {x + 1229}{4096}$

x is the catch rate (1x is the default)
