In the | In the {{uv|Pokémon}} series, the Master Ball is one of the rarest Poké Ball variants, and the most powerful. Whereas all other Poké Ball variants may fail at capturing a wild Pokémon under certain circumstances, a Master Ball will catch any wild Pokémon without fail, regardless of their health and status. {{s|bulbapedia|Legendary Pokémon}} are typically much more difficult to capture than most other Pokémon due to having very low {{iw|bulbapedia|catch rate}}s, and are thus a prime target for a Master Ball. However, contrary to its depiction in ''Smash'', most {{s|bulbapedia|Mythical Pokémon}} (such as [[Arceus]], [[Marshadow]], and [[Genesect]]) cannot be legitimately found in a Master Ball; as they are {{s|bulbapedia|event Pokémon}}, they can only be received in the special, all-red {{s|bulbapedia|Cherish Ball}}. | ||
