In Pokémon GO the Master Ball study is about to end. How do you get the coveted ball when it no longer works?
UPDATE: The new paid special research on the Master Ball has been revealed
This is the Master Ball study: It is a long-term, limited research project. It started with the launch of the current season “Plenty of Adventures” and ends today, November 21, 2023, at 8:00 PM.
This leaves only a few hours to claim the bonuses and therefore also the coveted second Master Ball. Anyone who doesn’t make it by 8:00 PM will lose the chance for the free Master Ball and likely also any other task progress.
For some trainers, the end may come too soon. On social media, such as in the Subreddit “TheSilphRoad” for Pokémon GO, trainers are currently discussing the end of the study. The statements range from “I think I can make it today” to “Is it still feasible today?” to trainers who simply cannot make it anymore. Others, however, have already solved the study.
Overall, the study was also not easy to solve. It required a lot of time from a player. And especially the task of 60 raids poses a significant challenge for many trainers.
We want to know from you: Did you complete the Master Ball study? Take part in the survey as soon as you can see how the study ends for you:
And how do you get the second Master Ball without the study?
Master Ball task comes to the shop
Here’s how to get the Master Ball: In the announcement for the new “Party Up” event in Pokémon GO, it is also mentioned that all players who have not completed the study will be able to purchase a Master Ball research in the shop.
This will then bring a Master Ball as a reward, but it will cost money, unlike the previous study. There will also be tasks to complete before the ball goes into the item bag.
Meanwhile, it is still unclear:
- How much the new research will cost.
- What tasks will be included.
- Whether any form of progress from the study will be carried over.
We will keep you updated on this point as soon as more information about these points is known.
