Can You Miss with the Master Ball in Pokemon GO?
Last updated
Have you ever wondered while playing Pokemon GO, ‘Can you miss throwing the Master Ball and lose your chance at catching a Pokemon?’ It’s a legitimate question, especially when you’re aiming for that rare Pokemon you’ve been chasing for miles.
So, let’s dive straight into the nuts and bolts of throwing a Master Ball in Pokemon GO and see if that coveted catch can indeed slip through your fingers.
Is It Possible to Miss with a Master Ball?
First off, let’s tackle the elephant in the room: The Master Ball, known for its 100% catch rate in the traditional Pokemon games, is a concept not yet introduced in Pokemon GO. That’s right, as of now, there’s no Master Ball available in Pokemon GO. But, let’s play with the idea, shall we? In the core games, the Master Ball ensures a catch, no matter what. So, theoretically, if it were to be added to Pokemon GO, missing a throw might not even be a concern because of its flawless catch rate.
In Pokemon GO, Poke Balls, Great Balls, and Ultra Balls do sometimes miss their target, especially if you mistime your throw or the Pokemon decides to dodge. Players get used to adjusting their throws based on distance, the Pokemon’s movement, and the timing of their attempt. So, if a Master Ball were ever introduced with its legendary status, it’s likely it would carry over its 100% catch rate, making a miss not a problem.
