In-Depth Effect
The Timer Ball is a PokéBall that works best on Pokémon as the duration of battle increases. If up to 10 turns have taken place, the Capture Rate is 1. If between 11 & 20 turns have taken place then the Capture Rate is 2. If between 21 & 30 turns have taken place then the Capture Rate is 3. Finally, if over 30 turns have taken place, the Capture Rate is 4.
As of Pokémon Sun & Moon, it runs off of a formula (1+.3*Turn Number), with the maximum being 4

CatchValue = ((( 3 * Max HP - 2 * HP ) * (Catch Rate * (1+.3*Turn Number) ) / (3 * Max HP) ) * Status Modifier
