Get the Master Ball in pokemon scarlet and violet after completing Area Zero. This ultimate Poke Ball has a 100% catch rate for any wild Pokemon.

The Master Ball is the ultimate Poke Ball in pokemon scarlet and violet, offering a 100% chance of catching any wild Pokémon. Typically, only one Master Ball is available per game, and it is obtained very late in the story.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After completing the Area Zero story and the credits roll, the postgame begins.
  2. 2
    The next day, you will be prompted to visit the Director’s Office in Naranja Academy (Scarlet) or Uva Academy (Violet).
  3. 3
    You can skip this visit, but if you go to the Director’s Office (using any of the turnstiles in the Entrance Hall), you will witness the aftermath of the story.
  4. 4
    As a reward for visiting the Director's Office, you will receive the Master Ball.

Best Use for the Master Ball:

  • Extremely hard-to-catch Pokémon, such as the Treasures of Ruin or the second Koraidon or Miraidon found in Area Zero.
  • Emergencies, like encountering a shiny Pokémon you were unprepared for, especially if it knows Self-Destruct or Explosion and you do not have a Pokémon with the Damp ability to prevent it.
  • Alternatively, you can keep it in your bag indefinitely if you prefer.
