Pokemon Scarlet & Violet: The Indigo Disk is out, and The Pokemon Company has thrown a few in-game events to celebrate. We previously covered how to get Palkia, Dialga, Darkrai, and a shiny Lucario. However, what about the free Master Ball that was teased alongside those monsters?
Fortunately, you don’t need any special codes to get the Master Ball Mystery Gift in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet. All you have to do is open your Poke Portal, select Mystery Gift, and then select Get via Internet. The Master Ball will immediately show up as an option for you to grab, so simply select it and be on your way.
Do note that you have a limited time to grab this rare gift. The Master Ball will be available until January 3, at 3:59 p.m. PST. Fortunately, you don’t need to beat the game or access the DLC areas to claim this gift. As long as you have the Mystery Gift feature unlocked, it appears you’re eligible.
Can you farm Master Balls in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet?
Additionally, note that you’re limited to one Master Ball per save file. These are quite rare, as the only other Master Ball you can legitimately get takes a while to get. You can, theoretically, receive Master Balls from other players via trade, but that requires someone wanting to give up their Master Ball.
Maybe you could make dummy save files to farm these, but at that point, you’re better off just chucking Ultra Balls at the monster you want.
How you use your Master Ball is up to you, so make sure to save it for a worthy monster. Good luck trainer!
