Master Ball Tier 3 is not a percentage of the leaderboard by itself ; it’s a rank within the Master Ball bracket. From the sources available, the game’s ranked ladder is structured in tiers and ranks, and Master Ball Rank 3 sits below Rank 2 and Rank 1, while the highest ladder position is Champion Tier.

What can be inferred

  • Master Ball Tier 3 is a mid-to-high elite rank, not the top of the leaderboard.
  • The public sources I found do not give a verified count of active players or the exact share of players in Master Ball Tier 3.
  • Without the total active player base and the number of players in that specific rank, any exact percentage would be speculation.

Best estimate

If you want a practical reading, Master Ball Tier 3 is usually treated as a small upper-slice of the ladder, likely only a fraction of the total active base, but I can’t responsibly turn that into a precise percentage from the available data.

Data gap

The posts and guides available here confirm the rank structure and rewards, but they do not publish leaderboard population statistics for Master Ball Tier 3. The Reddit discussion also suggests players are still trying to understand how Master Ball and Champion ranks map in practice, which reinforces that population data is not clearly exposed.

TL;DR: there isn’t enough verified public data to calculate the percentage of the total active player base that sits in Master Ball Tier 3, but it is clearly an upper-end rank on the ladder.
