In Pokémon GO there is a notification that many trainers are complaining about. What exactly it is about, you will find out here.
What is it about? When you complete a raid in Pokémon GO, you have the opportunity to catch the defeated Pokémon. For this, you have special Poké Balls available, known as Premier Balls. The number of balls you receive depends on various factors such as the damage dealt or the speed of the trainers in the raid battle.
In addition to the Premier Balls, you have the option to catch the Pokémon with another ball. This is the Master Ball, which you can only obtain very rarely and with difficulty through special research in the game. Therefore, you should also consider which Pokémon is worth using the Master Ball on.
When you reach the last ball to catch the Pokémon, you can see a special pop-up in the game that informs you that you can only throw one more ball before the Pokémon flees. This pop-up seems to appear in the game only when you have a Master Ball. And it is this pop-up that is now being discussed in the community.
Trainer is annoyed by the feature, receives support and backlash from the community
What does the trainer say? A trainer on Reddit is annoyed by this notification and wishes he could turn it off. When asked what bothers him about it, he replies: The additional stress. Does it change anything about the fact that I’m already on my last ball? No. Does Niantic need to remind me that it’s my last attempt? Also no

There is also a discussion that this feature is only meant for one purpose: It won’t be displayed if you don’t have a Master Ball in your pocket. The whole point of this feature is to make you use your Master Ball
