If used on an [[Ultra Beast]], the catch rate modifier is instead always set to 0.1×. The catch rate used in the calculation is still modified as normal by the Heavy Ball, however.


In {{g|Crystal}} only, there is a [[glitch]] that causes the retrieved weights of Pokémon whose [[List of Pokémon by index number (Generation II)|index numbers]] are divisible by 64 ({{p|Kadabra}}, {{p|Tauros}}, and {{p|Sunflora}}) to become junk data that are, in turn, interpreted as massive weights, causing these particular Pokémon to receive the +40 capture modifier. In Gold and Silver, these Pokémon's weights are retrieved correctly, correctly giving them a -20 catch modifier.<ref>https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/engine/items/item_effects.asm#L763</ref><ref>https://www.dragonflycave.com/mechanics/gen-ii-capturing</ref>
