It’s finally here: The Master Ball lands in Pokémon GO. What the new item brings and how you can get it will be shown here.
Trainers have been waiting for the Master Ball for years, and now it’s actually landing in Pokémon GO. Niantic announced this on the official Pokémon GO blog.
What is the Master Ball? Fans of the Pokémon series naturally know the ball. The Master Ball is the best ball in the world of Pokémon. No matter which wild Pokémon you throw it at, it will be caught, no matter how strong it is.
The catch: You usually only get the Master Ball once per game, or at least it is extremely rare. And even in Pokémon GO, it seems they are going a similar route.
When will the Master Ball come? It will land in Pokémon GO starting from May 22 as part of a special research.
How strong will the Master Ball be in Pokémon GO? Even in Pokémon GO, the Master Ball will be the best ball. Niantic clearly explains that you will catch every wild Pokémon guaranteed with it – even in raids. The same applies to Pokémon from lure modules or from daily adventure incense.
The extremely difficult-to-catch Galar birds would be an example of monsters that one could finally secure with the ball. And trainers already have ideas about what not to use the Master Ball for.
How to get the Master Ball in Pokémon GO?
After numerous leaks pointed to the Master Ball, the official release date is now confirmed: The Master Ball arrives on May 22 in Pokémon GO.
On this day, Pokémon GO will unlock a new special research at 10:00 AM local time, which can be collected until the end of the season on June 1, 2023. According to the announcement, it will revolve around Team GO Rocket and a gift from Professor Willow – the Master Ball.
How rare will the Master Ball be? You won’t be finding it in large quantities, that is clear. According to the announcement, you will get the Master Ball “not every day,” so you should carefully consider what to use it for.
At the same time, it is also emphasized that you should keep an eye out for more opportunities to get the Master Ball. Accordingly, there will be further chances to get the ball.
A new feature lands in Pokémon GO with the Master Ball, just before the current season ends. But the “Rising Heroes” season is approaching its end, before it is expected to continue with a new season on June 1, 2023, at 10:00 AM.
To keep you updated, you can find all the May events in Pokémon GO that will still take place until then.
