Anyone know where I can buy Timer Balls? I kind of forgot where they're supposed to be sold.

Back I guess??
In the market of Rustboro, you also find there repeat balls.

Yep, Rustboro is the place to go. Mossdeep also has some unqine balls too.

How many turns pass before the Timer ball is upgraded in battle? and by how much?

I don't think there is a set turn timer for how it gets better. My guess is every 15 turns, your chances get better.

It`s every 10 turns,
Timer ball is like a common pokeball in the first 10 turns then after 10 it work like great,
more 10, ultra,
more ten turns, better than ultra,
more ten, the same above.

So you need 30 turns to trow the best buyable ball.

Repeat ball works like a pokeball too if you don`t have the pokemon, if you already have, I believe it work like a 30 turn timer ball.

Hmm.. okay, so it would be better to just throw ultra balls then instead of waiting 30 turns for the same effect. Why does the game lead us off like this? -_-

No, after 30 turns, timer is stronger than ultra, I think there's a catch rate, I will look for them

Here:

Repeat/Nest/Net/Dive Ball gets a 3x catch rate. Timer Ball goes up by 0.5 every 10 turns (1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, and so on). Net Ball gets a 6x catch rate against Surskit.

This is in comparison to an Ultra Ball, which has a 2.5x catch rate. Great Ball has a 2x catch rate, and Safari Ball has about a 2.2x catch rate.
Adding: Premier and pokeball have both 1x catch rate.


And go here for the Pokemon catch rate:

The repeat ball has a 3x catch rate if you have the pokemon already so that makes it better than an ultra ball (at 2x catch rate). And... if i remember correctly, they cost the same as timer balls (and still cheaper than ultras).

Repeat Ball and Timer Ball are in Rustboro, Devon products. I know that Net Ball is a good ball to use against Kyogre.

Timer ball on the lati@s would be the absolute most horrible ball to use seeing as they flee every chance they can and it takes at least 30 turns for timer balls to be anywhere near usefull.
