Just like in the main Pok\u00e9mon games, the Master Ball has one use. Any Pok\u00e9mon you encounter can be captured without fail, and based on previous data mines, we already knew there was likely going to be a special animation involved when using it that prevents missing.\u00a0 But because this item essentially guarantees that players can catch any Pok\u00e9mon in the wild, it is going to be very hard to come by.\u00a0 How to obtain a Master Ball in Pok\u00e9mon Go As of its introduction to Pok\u00e9mon Go, players can only obtain a Master Ball by completing the Season 10: Rising Heroes seasonal Special Research.\u00a0 This a free piece of research that has been live throughout the season and will get its final part on May 22 as part of the final event before season 11 is announced and begins in June. Based on what Niantic is saying, Professor Willow will give players the Master Ball as a reward\u2014something that other Pok\u00e9mon Professors or important NPCs typically do in other games.\u00a0 Related: All Pok\u00e9mon Go: Let\u2019s GO Special Research tasks and rewards Despite this limitation, the developers have made it clear the Master Ball will appear at multiple points in the future during special occasions.\u00a0 How many Master Balls can you have in Pok\u00e9mon Go?\u00a0 Based on the information Niantic has shared, we currently don\u2019t know if players will have a hard limit to how many Master Balls they can hold at once in their Pok\u00e9mon Go inventory. In other Pok\u00e9mon games, you tend to only get one Master Ball throughout your entire playthrough because it is meant to be a special item. But if you do somehow obtain a second one, you can still hold multiple just like a regular Pok\u00e9 Ball.\u00a0 It is very likely Pok\u00e9mon Go will let you stack Master Balls once more methods to obtain them are added to the game, but Niantic will need to confirm this once that becomes a possibility.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image_2023-05-16_154940762.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/867529"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1706"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=867529"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/867529\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":872054,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/867529\/revisions\/872054"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/867102"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=867529"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=867529"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=867529"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=867529"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=867529"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=867529"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=867529"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

In other Pok\u00e9mon games, you tend to only get one Master Ball throughout your entire playthrough because it is meant to be a special item. But if you do somehow obtain a second one, you can still hold multiple just like a regular Pok\u00e9 Ball.\u00a0 It is very likely Pok\u00e9mon Go will let you stack Master Balls once more methods to obtain them are added to the game, but Niantic will need to confirm this once that becomes a possibility.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image_2023-05-16_154940762.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/867529"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1706"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=867529"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/867529\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":872054,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/867529\/revisions\/872054"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/867102"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=867529"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=867529"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=867529"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=867529"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=867529"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=867529"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=867529"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
