question about timer balls

[blade2291]

how many turns must have past before timer balls are actually worth using?

 

[Mega Trickster]

I say at least like 30.

 

[ShinyManafi]

Every ten round or so, its gets a bit stronger, 50 turns I say for great effect

 

[Black Widow]

It's every ten, iirc. So just use some crappy move for 50 turns and your set.

Stronger every 10. best after probably 40-60

 

[Jukain:)]

0 turns = same as pokeball (10%)
10 turns = same as great ball (15%)
20 turns = same as ultra ball (20%)
30 turns = (25%)
40 turns = (30%)
50 turns = (35%)
60 turns = (40%)
70 turns = (45%)
80 turns = (50%)
...therefore...
160 turns = same as masterball (100%)

The only way to make a timer ball like a Master ball would probably be 160 turns.

I made my timer ball into a master ball with groudon in emerald. I greatly admire ludicolo's stalling power more now.

Good luck keeping him alive for 160 turns.

Timerballs power will only increase for 40 turns. So you can't make a masterball out of it. But after 40 turns the chance is 40% so it's still very good. After 3 or so (when reached the 40 turns) you'll get the pokemon.
