Pokemon Go trainer shares helpful Master Ball tip
Posted in the Pokemon Go subreddit, user pierreo93 shared his tip for trainers deciding how to use their Master Ball when it releases.
“With the Masterball being introduced to Pokemon Go, it seems like a good time to remind people that shiny legendaries from raids are guaranteed catches on the first ball that hit them, so please PLEASE do not use your Masterball on them, and instead just use a Pinap for extra candy,” they said.

Since the launch of Shiny Legendary Pokemon in the game, Pokemon Go has offered 100% catch rate to guarantee trainers the extremely rare catch.
However,many trainers are currently worriedthat Niantic may decide to remove the definite catch rate once the Master Ball releases, instead making trainers acquire more of them for rare encounters.

As usual, though, nothing is set in stone so keep aneye out on our Pokemon Go coverageas the Master Ball’s release gets closer.
