The Master Ball is an item that appears in Super Smash Bros. 4. It functions similarly to a Poké Ball, and releases a Pokémon when thrown, but unlike a Poké Ball, it usually releases rare or legendary Pokémon, however, there's a chance that a Master Ball releases the dud Pokémon Goldeen. Legendary Pokémon can appear from both types of Poké Balls; however, a Master Ball does not only contain a legendary Pokémon.

Origin

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