I have just got the expansion pass for Crown Tundra, and am wondering if it's possible to trade master balls to my main game in order to guarantee I catch legendary pokémon on the Dynamax Adventures.
If I play through the main story on my second cartridge up until I get the master ball, can I trade it to my main cartridge as a held item on a pokémon? Would it also work through Pokémon HOME so I don't have to use another console?
Yes, there is a way, but it requires a few steps:
This will give you access to the IV judge, which gives you information about the height of the IV per stat. To do this, press + in the Pokemon Box. Here's an overview of what the texts mean:
Here's an example of the IV judge:
You can obtained a Chipped Pot (as well as Cracked Pot) from the bargain merchants in Stow-on-Side, particularly the one who sells you an item. Serebii has a list of all the items you can obtain from them.
Unfortunately, it is not a guaranteed chance of finding one. The item the merchant sells changes every day, so you will need to check his inventory roughly every 24 hours (or after midnight, need to verify) to see if he is selling a Chipped Pot.

The Master Ball is a regular item and can be traded by letting a Pokémon hold it, but like any other held item it can't be transferred through Pokémon Home. However, it's not necessary to get more Master Balls to accomplish your goal, as the legendary Pokémon at the end of a Dynamax Adventure is guaranteed to be caught no matter what Poké Ball you're using.
