===Effect===
====Manual activation====
When used from the Bag in a encounter, it attempts to catch the wild Pokémon with the following catch rate modifiers:
* 1× if the player's Pokémon is less than or equal to the level of the wild Pokémon
* 2× if the player's Pokémon is at a higher level, but less than double, the level of the wild Pokémon
* 4× if the player's Pokémon is at a level at least two times, but less than four times, the level of the wild Pokémon
* 8× if the player's Pokémon is at a level at least four times that of the wild Pokémon
In , due to a coding error, the wild Pokémon's remaining HP and possible status conditions are ignored when calculating the catch rate; only the wild Pokémon's level is used for calculation if using a Level Ball.
If used on an Ultra Beast, the catch rate modifier is instead always set to 410/4096× (~0.1×).
The Level Ball cannot be used in situations in which Poké Balls cannot be used, such as in wild battles with two or more opponents currently present or against a trial Pokémon. If used in a Trainer battle, the opposing Trainer will bat the ball away, wasting the player’s turn (as well as the ball prior to Generation IV).
====Held item====
 fails if the user is holding a Level Ball.
In only, Level Balls cannot be held. This is to prevent them being held by a Pokémon traded to , where the item does not exist.
