How many Masterballs can you get in Shield?

You can get more than one Master Ball in Pokémon Shield, with the primary method being through the Loto-ID system in the Pokémon Centre, where you can win additional Master Balls by matching your Pokémon ID number with the randomly generated number. The number of Master Balls you can obtain is not limited, as you can potentially win one every day by participating in the Loto-ID lottery, making it possible to accumulate multiple Master Balls over time.

Master Ball Usage

4. Should I use Master Ball on Zamazenta? It’s really up to you whether to use it or save it, as Zacian/Zamazenta have a catch rate of 10 out of 255, so pretty low, making them good candidates for the Master Ball, but it’s not needed.

Legendary Pokémon

8. What is Zacian’s weakness? Zacian weaknesses include being vulnerable to two types: steel and poison, as it is a pure fairy-type Pokémon in its Hero of Many Battles form.
9. What is Zamazenta’s weakness? Zamazenta’s Hero of Many Battles form is a pure fighting type, which means it’s vulnerable to three types of Pokémon: psychic, flying, and fairy types.

Pokémon Information

14. Is Zamazenta a girl? Zacian and Zamazenta are both genderless in-game, similar to most other Legendary Pokémon, but the Pokédex entries imply that Zacian is female and Zamazenta is male.
15. Should you Master Ball Zacian? Zacian & Zamazenta are the most powerful Pokémon in their base games, and you’re not able to catch them until the very end, making one of these two a perfect candidate to use the Master Ball on if you don’t play multiplayer or aren’t interested in upcoming DLC.
