Galar's Poké Ball Enthusiast (Japanese: ガラルのボールマニア？ Galar's Ball Maniac?) was a story event in Pokémon Masters EX. It was focused on the sync pair Ball Guy and Amoonguss.

The "Ball Guy Variety Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Ball Guy and Amoonguss for the duration of the event.

During this event, players could earn Ball Guy Stickers from battles that could be redeemed in the Shop. All battles could be challenged an unlimited number of times except Daily Extreme Battle 1, which could only be challenged once per day, and My Secret Hideout!, which could only be challenged when the player had a Ball Guy Sticker +. Extra stickers were automatically exchanged with coins once the event was finished.

The player could battle using Ball Guy and Amoonguss to obtain +0.6× bonus stickers; Victor and Rillaboom, Ethan and Cyndaquil/Quilava/Typhlosion, or Elio and Popplio/Brionne/Primarina to obtain +0.4× bonus stickers; and the player character and Pikachu, the player character and Torchic, or any unlisted Galar sync pairs to obtain +0.2× bonus stickers.

The special area, My Secret Hideout!, was unlocked after completing the first story area. This area could only be accessed in exchange for a Ball Guy Sticker +, which could be obtained from the Shop or a log-in bonus. Players could obtain one of ten rewards after defeating Ball Guy in battle. Once all ten were received, players would no longer be able to battle Ball Guy, but would obtain a Big Pearl on revisiting.

This event featured the Battle Challenge, where players were challenged to defeat a team of strong opponents. Players could complete event missions by clearing these areas with teams using various theme skills, earning medals and other rewards.

In addition, players could earn a medal for completing all the story areas in the event.
