What Are Master Balls Used For?

Master Balls have been around since the beginning of Pokemon history (Red and Blue) and are used to catch Pokemon but if you use this special ball, the capture rate goes up to 100%, letting you catch the most legendary Pokemon on the planet or a Weedle… it’s really all up to you how you want to use it.

To sum up how to get Master Balls in Pokemon Sword and Shield

  1. First off, you need to beat the Champion Cup and watch the credits roll which means that you need to get all eight badges and beat the game essentially.

  2. Once you do that, you’ll be warped back to your home town of Postwick and once you leave your room, an NPC will be in your home and they’ll simply give you the Master Ball as a reward for beating the game.

  3. Make sure to use it wisely as you won’t be able to get another one, as part of the story anyways.

  4. Another way to get a Master Ball is by speaking to the Rotom at the PC in any Pokemon Center and participating in the Loto-ID every day.

    You can win prizes based on the ID number of your Pokemon in your boxes and if they match the winning number, you can win a Master Ball, but you need to match at least five of the numbers.

And that’s all you need to know about how to get Master Balls in Pokemon Sword and Shield. If you’re looking for more tips and tricks, be sure to check out our Guide Wiki, search for Twinfinite, or simply look down below:
