How Masterwork Research: Catching Wonders works in Pokémon Go

Masterwork Research: Catching Wonders is the fifth Masterwork Research quest to be released in Pokémon Go. Unlike the past quests, which have all focused on catching a very special Pokémon, Catching Wonders is all about obtaining a Master Ball. Created by Silph Co., the Master Ball ensures you catch which Pokémon you toss it at and, therefore, is the best Poké Ball ever made. The downside, however, is that Master Balls are very hard to find.

Thankfully, again unlike past Masterwork Research quests, Catching Wonders is a free-to-play quest. It also has no deadline - a very good thing as Masterwork Research quests are designed to take a good amount of time to complete. (So you most likely won't be completing it in one afternoon...)

The Master Ball is worth the work though as it will help you catch a rare Pokémon like one of the Galarian Legendary Birds.

Despite containing difficult challenges, Catching Wonders follows the same structure as past special research quests - you need to complete a set number of challenges and collect their rewards before you complete a quest step by unlocking its overall rewards. Rinse and repeat this format until the quest is completed!

Good luck completing Masterwork Research: Catching Wonders!
