Pokémon GO Players Can Now Unlock a New Master Ball

Pokémon GO enthusiasts have a fresh opportunity to snag a Master Ball, but time is of the essence! In the Pokémon universe, the Master Ball stands out as the most powerful type of Poké Ball, ensuring a guaranteed catch. With this prized possession, players can capture Pokémon without the worry of them breaking free, making it essential to reserve for those exceptional encounters.

Many players reserve their Master Balls for capturing the elusive Galarian legendary birds, known for their scarcity and tendency to flee during encounters. Others utilize these coveted balls to secure "hundos," which are Pokémon boasting perfect stats. However, some players have unfortunately seen their Master Balls wasted when others access their accounts and throw them at common or less desirable Pokémon.

For those in need of a new Master Ball, Pokémon GO has just introduced another chance to obtain one. For a limited time, players can purchase the Masterwork Research: Master Ball for $7.99. This new paid Special Research must be acquired by October 11 at 8:00 PM local time.

Players should also ensure they engage with the game during this period to unlock the research effectively. While the ultimate reward is the Master Ball itself, participants will also have the chance to earn additional goodies by completing the quest.
