The Master Ball is now available in Pokémon GO, but it shouldn’t be wasted. For those curious: There is already a video showing what the ball’s animation looks like. And it is well received.
Where is the Master Ball in Pokémon GO? The Master Ball has just recently landed in Pokémon GO and can be unlocked through the research Get out and GO
.
Currently, this is the only way to obtain the powerful ball. Accordingly, it is rare and will only be available rarely in the future.
The Master Ball guarantees to catch every wild Pokémon, whether in the wild or from raids. So, it shouldn’t be wasted. However, for those wanting a little insight: The Pokeminers shared a video showing what the throw of the Master Ball looks like.
Special Animation Guarantees Capture with the Master Ball
This is the animation: The data miner group Pokeminers has posted a video in which the Master Ball is seen in full use against a Rowlet.
We will embed the tweet with the video here for you:
The small bird is probably not a really good choice when it comes to what to use the Master Ball for, but this gives a glimpse of what the result looks like.
Noteworthy are, besides the appearance of the animation, also two things:
- On the one hand, it is asked again whether you really want to use the Master Ball.
- On the other hand, the usual aiming and the possibility of the ball being deflected by the Pokémon is eliminated by the animation.
Thus, concerns about accidentally throwing the Master Ball into the void have already been eliminated. Overall, the feature is currently receiving positive feedback from the community. In the Pokémon GO subreddit “TheSilphRoad”, trainers share their opinions:
- “This could be one of the first animations that actually looks quite nice,” thinks user OUTheMovie (via reddit).
- “This is actually really cool,” thinks user Pyoung3000 (via reddit).
- “Thank goodness, I was honestly afraid of missing and wasting it,” says user “dmfuller” (via reddit).
- “With this animation, it definitely looks like the Pokémon is being chased into the air rather than caught,” says a user (via reddit).
At the same time, some players joke about the end of the animation, when the ball essentially just lightly touches the Pokémon to grab it. Also, the switch to the usual catching background does not quite fit the picture for some.
Overall, the feedback on the Master Ball is initially positive. Additionally, more features are coming into play now: The new Crypto Raids are now available.
