You forgot the Beast Ball. In case it wasn't obvious, this Poke Ball is intended to work on the Ultra Beasts, which it gives a 5X catch boost. However, when catching other Pokemon, the catch rate is actually reduced (yes, REDUCED) to a 0.1X catch boost.

Verlisify, who has made it his life's work to discredit Wolfe Glick at every opportunity, attacked his character for defending cheating.

For the Level Ball, there are two other things going against it. 1) It's really difficult to obtain, and 2) you get it late game. This is a problem because late game Pokemon tend to be between levels 60 and 70, meaning it's impossible to reach double their level, so it's essentially an Ultra Ball (2×) at best. Even if you could get it early game, low level Pokemon are generally easy to catch, so catching a low level Pokemon with a Level Ball would be like killing an insect with a rocket launcher.
