Getting your hands on a Master Ball in Pok\u00e9mon Go is usually like gold dust \u2013 however, a new opportunity has presented itself that gives players the chance to obtain the rare item.<\/p>\n

First appearing in the original Game Boy titles back in 1996, the Master Ball didn\u2019t make its way to Pok\u00e9mon Go until 2023 \u2013 seven years after the worldwide catch \u2019em all launched.<\/p>\n

It was a long time coming, but a welcome one for sure. And now it\u2019s back once more.<\/p>\n

As part of the Catching Wonders event, Niantic has made it so any Pok\u00e9mon Trainers far and wide can take part in new Masterwork Research, with the prize for completing all of the tasks being a Master Ball.<\/p>\n

This then gives you a 100 per cent successful catch rate of any Pok\u00e9mon in the wild, no matter the throw or the level of the Pok\u00e9mon.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a fantastic reward, but it takes some effort. To make things easier, we\u2019ve outlined the full list of tasks in Pok\u00e9mon Go for the Masterwork Research, so you can get the Master Ball a little bit quicker.<\/p>\n

The Masterwork Research has no expiration in Pok\u00e9mon Go, so players can complete the tasks at their own pace. And it\u2019s a good job considering the number of requirements.<\/p>\n

That said, the Catching Wonders portion of the event will begin at 10am local time on 14th May and run until 8pm local time on 19th May 2024<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This includes the likes of event bonuses, event-themed Field Research and limited items in the Pok\u00e9mon Go Store.<\/p>
