Tips

  • When you have the desired amount of Master Balls, deposit one of them into your item PC so that if you accidentally use them all, there's always another one to duplicate.
    Thanks
  • Do it with one Pokémon the first time, then with two, then with four, and then 5. Then you can only keep doing it with 5 at a time maximum.
