To celebrate the appearance of Legendary Pokémon in The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero Part 2: The Indigo Disk, Trainers will be given the chance to claim a Master Ball—a type of Poké Ball that can catch a wild Pokémon without fail.

Even if you’re only partway through your adventures in Paldea or the land of Kitakami, you’ll be able to adventure together with your Shiny Lucario and get a Master Ball you can use to help catch a Legendary Pokémon!

This gift will be available from the release of The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero Part 2: The Indigo Disk on Thursday, December 14 until Wednesday, January 3, 2024, at 23:59 UTC.

You can receive this gift by selecting Get via Internet from the Mystery Gift menu in your game.
