Pokémon GO has provided a new hint about the Master Ball. It slowly seems like the ball will be landing in the game soon.
What kind of teaser is this? The official Pokémon GO account posted a teaser on Twitter with the mysterious caption “In development…” along with the hashtag #RisingHeroes, which indicates the current season.
The image shows 5 balls:
- The regular Pokéball
- A Great Ball
- An Ultra Ball
- The Premier Ball
- And the Ultra Ball, which can catch Ultra Beasts
Additionally, there is a large question mark in the middle. We are embedding the tweet here for you:
In the comments and in the community on Reddit, trainers are convinced by the presentation: This must be a teaser for the Master Ball that trainers have been waiting for years. And considering that the Rising Heroes Season ends in May, a release could also be imminent.
Furthermore, data mining also suggests that the Master Ball might come soon.
What is known about the Master Ball in Pokémon GO?
There is currently no official information about the Master Ball yet. Only leaks from Pokeminers (via pokeminers.com) indicate how the feature could be designed. However, these have multiplied in recent weeks – a detailed list can be found in our overview of the Master Ball in Pokémon GO.
Leaks about the Master Ball: The most important points from previous leaks:
- According to PokeMiners, there should already be a tutorial about the Master Ball in the game data.
- Furthermore, it is assumed according to PokeMiners that there will be a ball selection in raids – so that you can potentially use the Master Ball instead of just the Premier Ball.
- Moreover, the leakers found data like a “Master Ball container” and a cutscene for the Master Ball.
The signs surrounding a Master Ball release are therefore intensifying. The latest teaser from Pokémon GO indicates that it could happen soon.
What you should note: The leaks from Pokeminers are unofficial statements. However, Pokeminers have earned a reputation for reliably finding features in Pokémon GO early. Whether, when, and in what form the features will ultimately appear in Pokémon GO remains open. Only when Niantic officially makes an announcement will it be clear how the Master Ball will proceed.
What is a Master Ball anyway? The Master Ball is known from various Pokémon games and is the best ball ever. It offers a guaranteed catch chance for the Pokémon you want to catch.
Accordingly, it would also be very useful in Pokémon GO, assuming it is implemented in the same way. This could allow you to catch particularly strong Pokémon, or those that flee quickly, like the legendary Galar birds that constantly escape whenever you encounter them.
