Master-Ball 
Master Ball is a unique and highly sought-after item in the Pokémon series, known primarily for its 100% capture rate. Unlike other Poké Balls, the Master Ball guarantees a successful catch regardless of the opponent's level, HP, status condition, or catch rate, making it invaluable for capturing Legendary or otherwise hard-to-catch Pokémon.
Effects and Usage
- Guaranteed Capture: The primary effect of the Master Ball is to ensure a guaranteed capture of any wild Pokémon, making it an essential item for Trainers aiming to capture Legendary Pokémon or rare roaming Pokémon that are notoriously difficult to catch.
- Finite Availability: Most Pokémon games only provide players with one Master Ball during their main storyline, typically given by an NPC such as the game's Professor or the CEO of a significant in-game corporation like Silph Co. in Pokémon Red/Blue/Yellow or Mr. Pokémon in Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal. As a result, players often save their Master Ball for extremely rare encounters
