There's Never Been a Better Time to Log Into Pokémon Go, as the Game Gives Away a Perfect Stat Mewtwo and Master Ball

If you're looking to enhance your Pokémon Go experience, now is the perfect time to log in. The game has just introduced a generous one-time offer: a Mewtwo with 100% stats and an extremely rare Master Ball. These exclusive rewards were added hours ago and can easily be claimed by all players, except those who attended the controversial Times Square event last month. However, those New York attendees are not guaranteed a perfect stat Mewtwo, as they already received one at the event, causing considerable backlash.

The surprise rewards were added to celebrate the game's 10th anniversary and have been welcomed by many players. The developer, Scopely Explore, described the move as a belated addition to the game's anniversary celebration. They also confirmed that the exclusive Times Square background will be offered again in the future, possibly for the game's 20th anniversary.

The free Master Ball is also a notable addition, as it's only been made available annually or so in the game, previously requiring a premium purchase of $7.99. While the move has been met with mixed reactions, those who spent hours grinding for a perfect stat Mewtwo through normal gameplay may feel particularly disappointed. The offer lasts until September 6, so be sure to log in and claim your rewards while they're available.
