Niantic has removed a help center reference to a limit on how many Master Balls you can carry in Pokemon Go after releasing a research to get a second one.
One of the most sought-after items in Pokemon has always been the Master Ball. Guaranteed to catch anything, players tend to save it for a rare catch.
Added into Pokemon Go back in July 2023, some trainers have been saving the rare ball in an attempt to stock up several at a time.
The Pokemon Go help website previously stated that trainers could only carry one Master Ball at a time, but they’ve since removed the reference.
Niantic removes statement that limits Master Balls in Pokemon Go
In the Help Center section that lists the “Types of Items and their Effects,” there is a section referencing Poke Balls and how they work.
At the bottom of the first paragraph, it previously said: “The Master Ball is a very rare and special type of Poké Ball with a 100% catch rate. Note that you can only carry one Master Ball in your bag at a time.”

This means that before you can receive the Master Ball given by the latest Timed Investigation, you must use your existing ball if you haven’t already. Luckily, Niantic has since removed any reference to this limit.
The latest research, Timed Investigation: Master Ball, offers a wide variety of rather hard tasks to complete in order to receive a Master Ball for the second time.
Many have expressed distaste for the quality of the tasks, as rural players will have issues completing the required amount of raids.
We’ve reached out to Niantic and will update this article should they make a comment. In the meantime, you can head over to our Pokemon Go section to check out more coverage.
