Master Ball: Difference between revisions

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}}.

Pokémon in this table are listed by their order in the {{s|bulbapedia|National Pokédex}}. In ''Ultimate'', at the start of a match, several Pokémon may be selected at random to never appear from Master Balls during that match. Because of this, it may not be possible to get all of them to appear in a single match, even on stages where all Pokémon can appear.

|[[Goldeen]]||{{GameIcon|SSB4|20px}} {{GameIcon|SSBU|20px}}||20||Splash||Goldeen flops around the stage until it disappears or falls off the edge of the stage. It is completely harmless and does not affect gameplay in any way.||N/A

|[[Mew]]||{{GameIcon|SSB4|20px}} {{GameIcon|SSBU|20px}}||18||Fly||Mew gracefully flies off the stage. In ''SSB4'', it drops treasure as it goes.||N/A

|[[Darkrai]]||{{GameIcon|SSB4|20px}} {{GameIcon|SSBU|20px}}||40||Dark Void||Darkrai throws vortexes of shadow at the nearest opponents, sucking them in and causing them to fall [[asleep]]. As they sleep, their damage percentage gradually increases as a result of Darkrai's Bad Dreams ability.||1% (hit)<br>1% (loop grounded)<br>2% (loop airborne)

|[[Arceus]]||{{GameIcon|SSB4|20px}} {{GameIcon|SSBU|20px}}||40||Gravity||Arceus will stomp the ground three times, [[meteor smash]]ing airborne opponents each time it does. If there is no ground below an opponent, they will be [[OHKO]]ed.||0%

|desc-ntsc=These valuable, powerful balls can capture any wild Pokémon. In Smash Bros., hard-to-find Pokémon often pop out of them. You can easily identify a Master Ball by the distinct purple appearance and large M on the top. A Pokémon within a Master Ball may turn the tide of battle.

|desc-pal=A rare type of Poké Ball that never fails to catch a Pokémon. Throw one in this game, and the Mythical or Legendary Pokémon inside will come to your aid. Master Balls are easy to identify due to their purple colour and the large M on them. Use one to quickly turn the tide of any battle!
