The time has come: The Master Ball lands in Pokémon GO. What the new item brings and how you get it, we show you here.
Trainers have been waiting for the Master Ball for years, and now it’s actually landing in Pokémon GO. Niantic announced this via the official Pokémon GO blog.
What is the master ball? Of course, fans of the Pokémon series know the ball. The Master Ball is the best ball in the world of Pokemon. No matter what wild Pokémon you throw it at, it will be caught, no matter how powerful it is.
The sticking point: You usually only get the Master Ball once per game, or at least it’s extremely rare. And also in Pokémon GO one seems to go a similar way.
When is the master ball coming? He will land in Pokémon GO starting May 22 as part of a special research.
How powerful is the Master Ball in Pokémon GO? The master ball is also the best ball in Pokémon GO. Niantic clearly explains that you are guaranteed to catch every wild Pokémon with it – even in raids. The same applies to Pokémon from Lure Modules or from the daily adventure smoke.
The extremely difficult to catch Galar birds would be an example of monsters that you could finally secure with the ball.
How to get Master Ball in Pokémon GO?
After numerous leaks pointed to the Master Ball, the release date is now official: The Master Ball will come to Pokémon GO on May 22nd.
On that day, Pokémon GO will unlock a new Special Research at 10:00 a.m. local time, which can be picked up until the end of the season on June 1st, 2023. According to the announcement, it should revolve around Team GO Rocket and a gift from Prof. Willow – the Master Ball.

How rare will the master ball be? You won’t find it in abundance, that’s for sure. According to the announcement, you don’t get the Master Ball “every day”, so you should think carefully about what you use it for.
At the same time, however, it also emphasizes that one should keep an eye out for further opportunities to get the Master Ball. Accordingly, there will be more chances for the ball.
With the Master Ball, a new feature lands in Pokémon GO before the current season ends. But the “Rising Heroes” season is coming to an end more and more before it is expected to continue with a new season from June 1st, 2023 at 10:00 a.m.
To keep you up to date, here are all the May events in Pokémon GO that are still taking place until then.
