Pokémon GO has provided a new reference to the Master Ball. It’s starting to look like the ball is about to land in play.
What is this teaser? Via Twitter, the official Pokémon GO account posted a teaser mysteriously captioned “In development…” along with the hashtag #RisingHeroes to refer to the current season.
In the picture you can see 5 balls:
In addition, there is a large question mark in the middle. We embed the tweet here for you:
In the comments and in the community on reddit, trainers are certain about the presentation: This must be a teaser for the master ball that trainers have been waiting for for years. And given that the Rising Heroes season ends in May, a release could be imminent as well.
In addition, data mining also suggests that the master ball could come soon.
What is already known about the Master Ball in Pokémon GO?
There is no official information about the Master Ball yet. Only leaks from the Pokeminers (via pokeminers.com) have so far indicated how the feature could be designed. However, they have increased in recent weeks – you can find a detailed list of them in our overview of the Master Ball in Pokémon GO.
Master Ball Leaks: The most important points from previous leaks:
So the signs of a Master Ball release are growing. The latest Pokémon GO teaser suggests it could be coming soon.
You should note that: The Pokeminers leaks are unofficial information. However, the Pokeminers have earned a reputation for finding features in Pokémon GO quite reliably early on. Whether, when and in what form the features will ultimately end up in Pokémon GO is ultimately open. Only when Niantic makes an official announcement will it be clear how the Master Ball will continue.
What exactly is a master ball? The master ball is known from various Pokémon games and is the best ball ever. It offers a guaranteed chance of catching the Pokémon you want to catch with it.
Accordingly, it would also be useful in Pokémon GO, assuming it is implemented in the same form. This could be used to catch particularly strong Pokémon, or those that flee quickly – such as the legendary Galar birds, which constantly run away when you meet them.
