Will trainers get the best ball in Pokémon GO in the future? A new datamining points to the Master Ball.

Pokéball, Superball, Hyperball – with these 3 balls, the trainers in Pokémon GO usually do their everyday catching.

In addition, there are the Premier Balls, which can be used at the end of a raid against the boss, and the Ultra Balls, which were introduced for special situations in the fight against the Ultra Beasts.

That’s it according to the current status, because to this day an iconic ball from the main games shines with its absence: the master ball is still missing in Pokémon GO. But a new find by the data miners from the “Pokeminers” gives hope that this could change.

Who are the Pokeminers? The Pokeminers are a group of dataminers who regularly scour the Pokemon GO code for new content. You can often find data on new features even before they are activated in-game.

But you always have to keep in mind that these are leaks and not official information. When and whether the content will come into play like this, changed or at all is open.

Dataminer finds new reference to Master Ball for Pokémon GO

This was found: In a new version 0.261.3 APK Teardown, the Pokeminers have found various content. Among other things, the “competitions” that were last found were apparently removed again.

However, according to the data miners, there is also a kind of tutorial for the introduction of the master ball in the data. There’s no further information on this yet, but the Pokeminers emphasize that it sounds like this Master Ball tutorial could be used at some point in the near future.

Players have been waiting for a long time: As such, data on the Master Ball has existed in Pokémon GO for a long time, but the powerful ball has never been unlocked. Therefore, over the years there have been discussions about how the ball could be used once it is unlocked.

The Master Ball in the main row had the ability to catch any Pokemon 100% of the time. However, it is therefore also correspondingly rare.

In any case, players are curious in the comments:

  • “Master Ball? Add the “It’s happening Guys” meme from The Office” (via reddit).
  • “Holy Cow, this is the news I’ve been waiting for,” says one user (via reddit) who would like to catch Shiny Mew with the Master Ball: “Now I’m ready to wait for the Master Ball, no matter how long it takes still lasts”.
  • “The Master Ball? Finally?” (via reddit).
  • Other users write that they would throw the ball directly at the Galar birds, as there is a high chance that they will just run away when you meet them. Others point out that 100 bosses from raids would also be a good target. And still other players think they don’t even know what they would use the ball for – at least if you only get one, like in the past.

    What would you use the Master Ball for? Tell us in the comments!

    In addition, players are currently discussing eggs in Pokémon GO – some would like a change here.
