The Catching Wonders event in Pokemon GO is currently active which means players can now get their third Master Ball! If you are aiming to snag yourself that third Master Ball in Pokemon GO, here is a guide on how to get it through the Catching Wonders Masterwork Special Research.
Catching Wonders Event Details: May 14 at 10 AM to May 19 at 8 PM
In order to get access to the Catching Wonders Masterwork Special Research, you must play Pokemon GO during the Catching Wonders Event.
The Catching Wonder Event runs from May 14 at 10 AM and ends on May 19 at 8 PM local time.
Catching Wonders Bonuses
During this event, these are the active bonuses players can also enjoy:
- 10× Experience from your First Catch of the Day
- 5× Stardust from your First Catch of the Day
- 10× Experience from your First PokéStop Spin of the day
Aside from those in-game bonuses, there are event-themed field research tasks that reward XP, Poke Balls, Great Balls, Ultra Balls, and Stardust.
Catching Wonders Special Research Guide
Now that the event details are out of the way, here is a nifty Pokemon GO guide that details what players need to accomplish throughout the special research quests.
The Catching Wonders Special Research is quite a tedious one. In fact, players need to catch at least 1,400 Pokemon to complete the quest line. Considering the final reward is a Master Ball, we say it's worth grinding it out.
In any case, here are the series of quests you need to complete for the third Master Ball of Pokemon GO.
Catching Wonders Masterwork (1/ 4)
| Task | Reward |
| Catch 250 Pokemon | 20× Poke Ball |
| Use 150 Berries to help catch Pokemon | 15× Razz Berry |
| Make 100 Nice Curveball Throws | 2500× Stardust |
The first series of tasks start off really high with at least 250 Pokemon caught (which can increase if you do not coordinate it with the berry and nice curveball quests). As such, you better have enough Poke Balls and berries in stock and have perfected your curveball throws.
The rewards for completing this set of tasks are 2,500 XP and an encounter with the sand castle Pokemon Sandygast.
Catching Wonders Masterwork (2/ 4)
| Task | Reward |
| Catch 300 Pokemon | 20× Great Ball |
| Make 100 Great Curveball Throws | 15× Pinap Berry |
| Transfer 50 Pokemon | 20× Great Ball |
With 300 (or more) Pokemon caught in this set, let us all be glad we can clear our Pokemon storage with one of the tasks in this set, even for just a tiny bit.
Completing this set of tasks rewards players with 3,500 XP and an encounter with the sheep Pokemon Dubwool.

Catching Wonders Masterwork (3/ 4)
| Task | Reward |
| Catch 350 Pokemon | 20× Great Ball |
| Defeat 25 Team GO Rocket Members | 5× Charge TM |
| Catch 75 different species of Pokemon | 15× Revive |
For this third set of tasks, taking down Team GO Rocket members is a good breather from catching all those Pokemon.
The third set of tasks rewards players with 4,500 XP and an encounter with a Hisuian Sneasel.
Catching Wonders Masterwork (4/ 4)
| Task | Reward |
| Visit a PokeStop on 7 different days | 2,500 XP |
| Catch a Pokemon on 7 different days | 2,500 Stardust |
| Hatch 20 Eggs | Encounter with Whiscash |
| Catch 75 Pokemon in a single day | 20× Ultra Ball |
| Make 50 Excellent Throws | 20× Max Revive |
| Catch 500 Pokemon | 3× Pinap Berry |
If you thought you could finish this special research in one day, turns out you can't. On the other hand, if you think you can just chill and slack off on the final set of tasks, you also can't do that.
This fourth and final set of tasks requires players to properly grind every day for at least seven days (if you have enough incubators or the endurance to hatch 20 eggs).
Completing this set will grant players with a Master Ball along with 5,000 XP and Stardust.
Use Your Third Master Ball Wisely
With another Master Ball in your hands, consider using it wisely. It might come in handy if you want to use it on a perfect IV Galarian legendary bird. Or maybe you could use it on the first wild shiny encounter for a video content idea just like how Mystic7 caught a shiny Jinx. Perhaps, maybe even use it on a future costumed legendary raid Pokemon like the Armored Mewtwo.
Alternatively, you could simply just hoard it in your bag storage, along with those two dusty other Master Balls you got from the first two times it was available.
Whatever you end up deciding to do with your Master Ball, we hope this Pokemon GO article guide helped you in securing a Master Ball.
