How to get free Master Ball in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

Celebrating the upcoming release of the Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Indigo Disk DLC, players will now be able to claim a free Master Ball in their own games. Here’s how to get one for your very own.

The legendary Master Ball is an item Pokemon players are always looking to grab. After all, nothing is worse than coming across an epic Shiny or a rare legendary creature and not being able to catch it with your regular Pokeballs.

However, as part of the new Indigo Disk DLC being released for Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, The Pokemon Company has gifted all players a free Master Ball, allowing them to grab one of the brand-new legendaries coming to the game. Here’s how to get the item for yourself.

It’s worth noting that the gift will only be available from December 14 to January 3 23:59 UTC, so make sure you redeem it before the expiry date.
