60 Raids for a Master Ball – Was It Worth It?

So I’ve finally completed the Master Ball timed research. It’s taken me around about two months, but I finished it with time to spare. The hardest task by far was to win 60 raids. However, was this research worth it? Was it worth spending raid passes, both free and premium? Well, kinda… First off, 60 raids is too many raids. If you want to do the research without spending money, you have to do a raid every day for, well, two months. Which is basically what I did. I did spend quite a few premium raid passes on a Guzzlord… [Continue Reading]

Closing in on the Master Ball Timed Research

On September 1st 2023, a new timed research appeared in Pokemon GO. This timed research consisted of a list of tasks, designed to be done over the course of the season. And the reward for it all? A Master Ball. The ball that can catch anything. The timed research is very important because it’s a way to get a second Master Ball in Pokemon GO, after some special research earlier in the year. And yes, you can have 2 Master Balls. Either way, Niantic are making us work very hard to get this Master Ball. I’ve already written about this… [Continue Reading]

This Master Ball Research is Hard

In Pokemon GO, for the new season, there is a timed research that lasts for 80 days. If you complete this timed research, then you will be rewarded with a Master Ball.

Which does sound pretty difficult, but with the Paldea x4 stardust event, I’m nearly half way there. Because I want that stardust. There’s going to be multiple community days… [Continue Reading]

What To Do With A Master Ball in Pokemon GO?

Pokemon GO has finally decided to give us a Master Ball, tied to the Let’s GO special research that Professor Willow has been hinting at all season. The Master Ball is a Pokeball that never misses and has a 100% chance to catch whatever Pokemon it is thrown at. However, the Master Ball has been hidden in the game code for a very long time, almost as far back as Pokemon GO’s beginnings. After all these years, we will finally be getting the most powerful Pokeball. But there’s a few things to think about here. After all, Master Balls are… [Continue Reading]

Please Can We Have a Master Ball?

While Pokemon GO does include many features from the main games, there’s an odd thing that we’ve never had before. While having the same fighting system is one thing this game lacks, I want to talk about something much smaller: the Master Ball. For the handful of people who have never played a Pokemon game, a Master Ball will catch any Pokemon with a 100% guarantee, and 0% chance of breaking out. In the main games, you generally only ever get one Master Ball for your entire region. It’s such an amazing and useful Pokeball that you really need to… [Continue Reading]
