In the ''[[Pokémon (universe)|Pokémon]]'' series, the Pokémon trainer has to capture wild Pokémon to add to his or her party Pokémon. When the Pokémon trainer encounters a wild Pokémon, he or she must use their Pokémon to weaken the wild Pokémon if necessary. When the Pokémon is weak enough, the trainer can throw a Poké Ball at it to capture it. It takes three wobbles and then a click from the Poké Ball for a successful catch. A Poké Ball catch attempt will fail if the caught Pokémon was able to break out of the ball. Poké Balls are also used for the storage of Pokémon. When the trainer gets in a battle, the trainer throws a Poké Ball out on the battlefield that contains the Pokémon of his or her choice and the Pokémon is released. However, the Master Ball is one of the rarest of all the Poké Balls (in fact in a few main series games there is only one Master Ball the player can get per save file) and is the strongest type as it can capture wild Pokémon without fail. This allows more difficult wild Pokémon, such as {{s|bulbapedia|Legendary Pokémon}}, to be caught with ease.

The Master Ball is an item confirmed to appear in Super Smash Bros. 4. It functions similarly to a Poké Ball, and releases a Pokémon when thrown, but unlike a Poké Ball, it releases only rare or legendary Pokémon. It is not yet clear whether legendary Pokémon are still capable of appearing from standard Poké Balls in addition to Master Balls.

Origin

In the Pokémon series, the Master Ball is the rarest of all Poké Ball variants, often with the player only able to obtain one of them without resorting to lottery-based minigames. Whereas all other Poké Ball types may fail at capturing a wild Pokémon, a Master Ball will catch any wild Pokémon without fail, making it trivial to catch difficult or legendary Pokémon.
