If you’re looking for the Master Ball in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, you will be waiting for a while. The Master Ball was given to you in past games at some point in the main story. Since Scarlet and Violet have three paths that can be down in any order, this makes acquiring the Master Ball a little trickier.

To get the Master Ball in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, you need to beat the game, see the credits, and then load back into the game. After this, you will be given the Master Ball from Direct Clavell at Naranja Academy.
