I am huge fan of Pokémon games but I haven't watched the anime that much. As
lots of guys here know that Master ball is the ball which catches Pokémon
without failing. Today I ran into an argument with a friend of mine regarding
the Master ball. He said that the Master ball had failed one time in the
anime, but I disagreed that it can never happen. But he said that he had
watched it once but can't recall now. Had the Master ball really failed or
not?

Has the Master Ball failed at any point in the Pokemon anime?


In **Episode 35** , titled _Whiscash and Ash_ , Season 7 of the Pokemon
series, a Whiscash swallows a Master ball thrown at it. This was widely
interpreted as a Master ball fail.
