If you want a chance at a free Master Ball in Pokemon, the Poke Ball Lotto in Indigo Disk is here to help. A new function unlocked throughout your adventures at Blueberry Academy, it converts Pokemon Materials into a variety of rare, useful items.

Alongside this, you will eventually unlock random, potentially incredible Pokeballs without having to spend any money. However, as this is a lottery, it’s worth pointing out that you won’t always get a Poke Ball or even the item you’re after.

It’s going to take some work, but it’s worth unlocking the power to trigger Poke Ball Lotto in Indigo Disk. If you’re lucky, you could unlock some stellar Poke Balls, including the unique Safari Ball and Master Ball.

The Poke Ball Lotto in Indigo Disk is a part of the League Club Room’s computer. Through it, you can donate Blueberry Points, which are unlocked by finishing tasks (Blueberry Quests) in the Pokemon DLC. When you see the Science Club request “Seeking testers for our Item Printer,” donate to this.

However, the Pokeball Lotto in Indigo Disk doesn’t trigger right away. You need to upgrade to Tier 2, which is going to take a significant amount of work.

To get to Tier 1, you’ll need to use the Item Printer 30 times and then invest 200 more BP. For Tier 2, you need to use the Item Printer 80 times and invest 500 BP. This will unlock the Pokeball Lotto feature for you.

It's recommended that you turn off your auto-save in the game's settings if you want to reset over and over for a shot at Poke Balls.

It’s easy enough to trigger Poke Ball Lotto in Indigo Disk. You simply need to perform 10 print jobs, and it has a random chance to trigger; however, this does not happen every time you do this. Thankfully, the two upgrades to the Item Printer reduce the material cost, so you can make far more attempts.

When the Poke Ball Lotto triggers in the Indigo Disk DLC, you’ll be given a random Poke Ball. It appears to have a decent chance of giving you solid, useful rewards instead of the weaker ones.

You may not unlock the Poke Ball Lotto during the main story of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s Indigo Disk DLC. Thankfully, you can still unlock it as a part of the post-game content, if you’re interested in doing so.
