In-Depth Effect
The Moon Ball is a PokéBall obtained from Kurt. This ball has an increased capture rate for Pokémon that evolve with the MoonStone. If the target Pokémon is Nidorina, Nidorino, Clefairy, Jigglypuff or Skitty, then the capture rate is 4. For every other Pokémon, the capture rate is 1.
This item cannot be given to Pokémon to hold in HeartGold & SoulSilver. If a Pokémon is captured in this PokéBall and traded to Diamond, Pearl or Platinum, it will revert in those games to an ordinary PokéBall.

CatchValue = ((( 3 * Max HP - 2 * HP ) * ((Catch Rate * 4) * 1 ) / (3 * Max HP) ) * Status Modifier
