The formula seems to be flawed for the Level Ball. I'm playing HeartGold and I was trying to catch a level 4 Aipom (full health) using my level 58 Crobat. According the the formula, I should have had a 140% chance of catch the Aipom with a Level Ball. I threw 3 or 4 level balls at the Aipom and all of them broke. I've generally found most Pokémon to be more difficult to catch than this formula and their catch rates indicated that they should be, but the Level Ball, in particular, doesn't seem to increase catch rates significantly, if at all.

:The number is 140, Then it generates a random number from 0-255, and it does something else. It's not a percentage. I think. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 02:21, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
