Pokémon GO has a new Masterwork research that gives you another Master Ball. All tasks and rewards.
What kind of research is this? The Masterwork research appears with the Catching Wonders event in Pokémon GO, which starts on May 14, 2024, at 10:00 AM. It runs until May 19. During this time, you should log in to collect the research and not miss out.
Once you have collected the research, there is no end date, so you have unlimited time to complete it. That’s a good thing, as the tasks will take quite some time.
But the reward is worth it, as you will receive another Master Ball upon completing the research, which can catch any Pokémon guaranteed.
This item is extremely rare, and it’s only the third Master Ball you can obtain in Pokémon GO. So it’s better to not waste it.
The tasks of the new research have already been shared in the Pokémon GO community (via reddit). What you need to do for the Master Ball, we summarize here for you.
