Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon - Poké Ball Event

A new event has been announced in Japan. If you purchase certain items at 7-11 in Japan, you will get a special clearfile based on the movie, Everyone's Story. However, you will also get a special serial code to give 100 Poké Balls to Ultra sun & Ultra Moon. To top it off, with the code, there's also a slim chance that instead of 100 Poké Balls, you will instead receive 99 Poké Balls and 1 Master Ball.
