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 yo🎐u can legitimately get takes ꦇa while to get. Yoꦅu can, theoretically, receive Master Balls from other players via trade, but that requires someone wanting to give ꦉup their Master Ball.

Maybe you could make dummy save files to farm these, but at that point, you’reꦯ better off just chucking Ultra Balls at the monster you want.

How you use yo🍌ur Master Ball is up to you, so make sure to save it for a wortꦚhy monster. Good luck trainer!
