How To Catch Pokemon Go Legendary Pokemon Theory

At the moment there is one very popular theory as to how players will get all Legendary Pokemon Go Pokemon. Players are speculating that depending on the team you choose, you will end up with that 1 of the 3 legendary bird pokemon. for instance, you are Team Valor you will end up with Moltres or if your Team Instinct you should get Zapdos.

Master Ball Pokemon Go
The device used to capture these Legendary Birds is a Master Ball. Apparently, the Master ball has 100% Capture Rate. Even if u throw this PokeBall off the screen and miss, it will still land on the pokemon ensuring you capture it with a 100% Hit Rate.

You Can Learn More About PokeBalls Here: Pokeballs

This is just a theory at the moment and a pretty reasonable one at that.
