Niantic has finally brought the Master Ball to Pok\u00e9mon Go, and with comes a way for players to guarantee any catch\u2014though it also comes with a few catches as a mechanic.\u00a0 As expected, the Master Ball will be a rare item only available during special occasions, starting with the finale event for Season 10: Rising Heroes.\u00a0 First made available through a set of Special Research, players can use the Master Ball for the same purpose you would in a normal Pok\u00e9mon game. When you throw it, it will catch whatever Pok\u00e9mon it is used on without fail, but there are several things players need to know about the Pok\u00e9mon Go version of this iconic item.\u00a0 When does the Master Ball release in Pok\u00e9mon Go? The Master Ball will be added as part of the final event in Pok\u00e9mon Go\u2019s Season 10: Rising Heroes event. This means it will officially go live in the game at 10am local time on May 22, after which it will remain available in the game for some time.\u00a0 Specifically, it will be added as part of the free seasonal Special Research that will be available with its next part during that time period. You can claim this research until June 1 at 10am local time when the next Pok\u00e9mon Go season begins\u2014it can be completed at any point to earn multiple rewards, including the Master Ball.\u00a0 How does the Master Ball work in Pok\u00e9mon Go? While we don\u2019t have the specifics yet, we do know Niantic is holding true to the Master Ball\u2019s core mechanic\u2014that being the ultimate capture tool.\u00a0 This is the description for the Master Ball in Pok\u00e9mon Go: \u201cIn the course of your travels, you may have heard of the very best Pok\u00e9 Ball with the ultimate level of performance\u2014the Master Ball. When used, it will catch any Pok\u00e9mon you encounter in Pok\u00e9mon GO without fail, whether it be in the wild, through Lure Modules, after Raid Battles, or while using your Daily Adventure Incense.\u201d Some datamines have shown that there could be an animation played when the Master Ball is thrown that will keep players from potentially missing their throw, but that has not been confirmed yet. The only confirmed piece of content is the release date and how players can obtain the Master Ball in Pok\u00e9mon Go.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Master-Ball-teaser-Pokemon-GO.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/867879"}],"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=867879"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/867879\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":867951,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/867879\/revisions\/867951"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/866644"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=867879"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=867879"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=867879"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=867879"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=867879"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=867879"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=867879"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
