What Is The Master Ball & How To Get It In Pokemon Scarlet & Violet
The Master Ball is the best Pokeball in the entirePokemonfranchise. It can be used to catch any Pokemon at all without fail, making it an extremely sought-after item, and players can get one of them in the games. Usually, players use it on the box art legendary, but this game offers18 brand new Legendary Pokemon(the two box art Legendaries,the four Treasures of Ruin Pokemon, six DLC Legendaries, and six Paradox Legendaries).
