Pokemon GO Timed Investigation Master Ball: All tasks and rewards

With Season 12 Adventures Abound coming online in Pokemon GO, trainers around the world have another opportunity to get their hands on a Master Ball. It is the most powerful Poke Ball known to date, and can catch any wild Pokemon it is thrown at without any fail. Given its uniqueness and rarity, players will surely not want to miss out on the opportunity.

After a long wait, the Master Ball made its Pokemon GO debut back in May 2023 as part of the Let's GO! Special Research. Given its ultimate power, players have to carefully choose which encounter they want to use it on. When thrown, a special cutscene ensues before the Pokemon is caught.

So, how can Pokemon GO trainers get their hands on another Master Ball in-game?
