For those unaware, Master Ball has a 100% catch rate and will capture any wild pocket monster it is thrown at without any chance of failure. That makes it an incredibly powerful item to have in players' arsenal, especially for those pesky Galarian Legendary Birds with a low catch rate.

While the developers have not revealed future methods to get a Master Ball, they advised players to keep a weather eye for such opportunities.

For those wondering which pocket monsters you should save your Master Ball for, we have got you covered with some stellar suggestions.
