=====Generation V onward=====
If used on the first turn of the encounter, the Quick Ball has a 5× [[catch rate]] modifier; otherwise, it has a 1× modifier. If used on an [[Ultra Beast]], the catch rate modifier is instead always set to 410/4096× (~0.1×).

==Trivia==
* As of Generation V, Pokémon with a catch rate of 153 or higher are guaranteed to be caught in a Quick Ball, providing it is not an [[Ultra Beast]] or other special type of encounter (such as a higher level Pokémon before finishing the storyline of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]).
** In Generation IV, Pokémon with a catch rate of 192 or higher are guaranteed to be caught, though any with catch rates ranging from 151 to 191 have a 99.994% chance to succeed.
