The Pokémon community is always on the hunt for secrets and tricks within the Paldea region. Recently, players have uncovered a new method to obtain infinite Master Balls in Pokémon Scarlet and Purple using just two items: the Nintendo Switch clock and the DLC Object Printer.
The Trick Unveiled
Japanese players have revealed that the type of items obtained from the Object Printer not only depends on the materials used but also on the time the game is started. Starting from January 1, 1970, the game references the seconds elapsed since then to generate the seed that determines the items.
By selecting a specific date and time, players can ensure that Master Balls appear when printing objects. However, this method only works the first time the printer is used after starting the game. Afterward, players need to close and reload the game to repeat the process.
Future Considerations
It remains uncertain whether Game Freak will take measures to address this with an update. Currently, players are exploring the exact pattern used by the system and are even developing calculators to determine the date and time that generates each type of item through this function.
