Pokemon Sword and Shield Master Ball | What should I use it on?

Master Balls are the pinnacle of Pokemon-catching technology. These purple devices will catch any Pokemon, regardless of its type or level, with a 100% guaranteed catch rate. They are pretty rare as a result, so here's how you can get your hands on a Pokemon Master Ball sword and shield
and the best way to use it.

The Master Ball
catches any Pokemon without fail, making it a stunning addition to any Pokemon Trainer's cheat bag. Currently, there is only one known method of acquiring what may be the unique Pokemon Sword and Shield Master Ball
. After fulfilling your character's dream by defeating Leon and becoming the Pokemon champion in the Galar region, the credits roll but the game is far from over.

Return home to where your adventure began and you will find Professor Magnolia next to your mother. Magnolia will give you a Master Ball
, which can be used once and only once, so choose your target Pokemon very carefully. We recommend using it on a legendary Pokemon that would otherwise be difficult to catch, such as Pokemon Sword Zacain's cover star or Pokemon Shield Zamazenta's cover star.

Can you get more Master Balls in Pokemon Sword and Shield?

Unfortunately, the answer to this question is currently unknown. The only confirmed method of Master Ball
acquisition so far is talking to Professor Magnolia during the final game, however, it may be possible to earn more with extreme luck by playing Loto-ID. You can play Loto-ID in Rotomi terminals in Pokemon Centers after unlocking the ability to do so.

Check out our guide on how to win Loto-ID for tips, as if you make the most of the system it is possible that you may be eligible to win more Master Balls. In all previous Pokemon games with the Lotus-ID mechanic, the five-figure pairing has awarded players a single Master Ball
and it could be the same in Sword and Shield.
