A Pocket Monster Pokemon ball that converts to a yo-yo. Made by Bandai Europe (France). Uses a transaxle system and starburst response. Unlike other Pokemon ball yo-yos that have been made over the years by Bandai, this model was a dedicated yo-yo, meaning there were no parts to remove or add to use it as a yo-yo and a Poke Ball in Pokemon.

More of a novelty yo-yo with limited functional playability. A total of three Pokemon ball yo-yos were available in this series: Super Ball. Ultra Ball, and Master Ball.

The Pokemon ball in this exhibit is known as the Master Ball. It is the rarest and most powerful Ball available in all games. It was originally manufactured by Silph Co. in Saffron City, but only a few were produced, as Team Rocket hijacked the building and attempted to steal them. Due to this, the Master Ball, as a whole, was discontinued. Only one can be found during the course of the story in every game. However, starting from Generation II, additional Master Balls can be won, albeit rarely, from the in-game Lottery if the player character has the exact number. More can also be gained by trading a Pokémon holding a Master Ball from another game. It is possible to get up to 450 Master Balls without using a cheating device.
