Typerball
[+Speed]
Prerequisites: Advanced Capture Techniques Rank 2, Basic Balls Edge
At-Will – Extended Action
Effect: You are able to convert generic Pokeballs (Basic, Great, Ultra, Safari, Sport, Premier) into Type Balls. These balls have half their market price for being modded Pokeballs. When created, these Pokeballs are given any Pokemon Typing. When making a capture to a Pokemon weak to that Type, the capture modifier increases by +1 (multiplied by -5 if using the old capture rules) for every level of super effective the Type Balls’ Type is to that Pokemon (E.g. If the Type is doubly super effective, then it increases to +2 capture modifier.) At the same time, if the Pokemon is resistant, it decreases by -1 the same way. If you hit a target with the Curve Ball Capture Technique, you can treat the Struggle attack as the Type the Type Ball is assigned with. The Type Ball immediately turns back into the Pokeball type used to make it upon capturing a Pokemon.
