“Like Bob Ross would say “happy little accident,” one player remarked.

“Well at least ppl who’ve already used up their Master Balls can still hope to catch them more readily,” another trainer added. “Would love if my autocatcher does the work for all the G-birds, as I’m saving my Master Ball for something epic (and it may never see the light of day but).”
