Getting your hands on a Master Ball in Pokémon Go is usually like gold dust — however, a new opportunity has presented itself that gives players the chance to obtain the rare item.
First appearing in the original Game Boy titles back in 1996, the Master Ball didn't make its way to Pokémon Go until 2023 – seven years after the worldwide catch 'em all launched.

This then gives you a 100 per cent successful catch rate of any Pokémon in the wild, no matter the throw or the level of the Pokémon.
It's a fantastic reward, but it takes some effort. To make things easier, we've outlined the full list of tasks in Pokémon Go for the Masterwork Research, so you can get the Master Ball a little bit quicker.

This includes the likes of event bonuses, event-themed Field Research and limited items in the Pokémon Go Store.
