How to get Pokemon GO Master Ball Special Research
The Master Ball research was a free offer for all trainers in September 2023, but not anymore. You need to spend $7.99 USD to buy the research ticket now, and you only have five days left to do so as per the timer mentioned in the in-game shop.
The official deadline for this special research hasn't been announced yet, but our guess is that it will be the same day as the Party Up event, which is November 27.
