What do you use this on again?
something hard to catch, like a tentacruel or a fearow
>>25855536
Fuck you I was going to say that
nothing, it stays in my backpack because im one of those people who save shit in vidya 'case i might need it later
>>25855534
Lvl 2 Pidgey. If you're not using it on that, than you're doing it wrong.
Shinies.
whatever the highest level legendary is.
Haven't really used it in the more recent games though
>>25855534
NOTHING
>REGULAR POKÉMON ARE TOO EASY TO CATCH
>STORY LEGENDARIES WON'T LET YOU PROCEED WITHOUT CATCHING THEM
>>25855565
This generally.
I did the Primal Kyogre fight without the master ball because I knew about Deoxys beforehand. Never again.
>>25855534
a Goldeen
>>25855534
Mewtwo
Nothing. You save it for the Exploding Shiny.
>>25855534
i actually never used it in BW2 or XY
>>25855534
Shiny abra.
>>25855534
>>25855658
but purple alakazam is ugly
>>25855534
depends on what you WANT to use it on
shiny
roaming legend
story legend
legend that you soft reset for
a level 2 rattata to be ebin
fuck i miss roaming legendaries
>>25855534
I gave it to my Pelipper and then I put him in a box. That way I won't use it or throw it away accidentally. Of course, if a shiny Abra shows up I'm screwed, but I've been playing for more than 10 years and that has never happened.
I've never used it. It is too rare...
>>25855649
This. Or a shiny with Roar, Whirlwind, Teleport, recoil moves, etc. Or a shiny legendary that's about to struggle itself to death.
I end up never using mine.
If Master Balls could pass down I would unironically throw one at Caterpie.
>>25855534

I used my very first Master Ball on a level 10 Dratini in Pokémon Gold.
Most recently Deoxys because I forgot to buy dusk balls, so after about 30 ultra balls he used Recover and I said fuck it.
Shiny Beldum before they devalued it.
>>25855534
Missingno. a bunch of them and catch everything.
>>25855572
You don't need to catch Deoxys though.
I just KO'd it.
>>25855672
>Balltism
Gen 2
Clone glitch
Catch Entei, Raikou, and Suicune with cloned master balls
>>25855881
it's also back at the top of skypillar if you go back after KOing it which is nice for SRing
On nothing, because I'm not a pleb.
Instead, I trade it to suckers for other one-of-a-kind shit, like Leftovers and Eviolite.
>>25855536
Thread was over with the first post. Goddamn.
Personally, I save it for rare shinies (christ, it's sad that that's a phrase that can be used unironically). Haven't used either of my Gen VI master balls yet.
>>25855904
Oh sweet, I didn't know that.
Thanks Anon.

roaming legends are the bane of my existence
>>25855930
bane?
>>25855930
>>25855937
if they brought back roaming legends, would you die?
>>25855930
Is it very painful?
>>25855942
It would be a back breaking experience!
>>25855930
Were the new roaming mechanics part of your master plan?
>>25855930
And why would I want them?
>>25855758
Only right answer. Just go to the friend safari and start searching.

Based dusk and timer balls are better.

Mascot Legendary or, in the case of RBY, Mewtwo.
>Premier Ball
Every other Legendary Pokémon.
>Poké Ball
Everything else.
>>25856056
Only if I forget to save before a legendary or if I'm beyond pissed with trying to catch one. Roaming legendaries can be done easily with quick claw and mean look and a status ailment move.

What?
>Whenever I can't be bothered to fight s legend
>When I want to speed up the story legend encounter
One of these.
Never used a Master Ball in my first playthroughs of all the games except Silver. As a kid I eventually found out that the legendary dogs roam from checking the PokeDex and chased down Suicune. I threw the Master Ball at it cuz I knew those fucks flee everytime.
>>25855766
Is this a joke?
Gold Version was my first pokemon game. I used the master ball on a fucking Jynx without thinking about it as a kid and saved the game immediately after because I was on a car ride and we had arrived at our destination. I realized days later what I had done when I encountered Entei and I've been mad about it for all these years.
>>25855534
Latias.
>>25855551
I like this. Must be done.
>>25855534
I always use it on the title legendary.
>>25855534
I save it for in case I see a shiny Abra or a shiny Graveler, stuff that might teleport away or explode. I think I used y last one on a shiny Solrock. Then I got mad at myself when I found out it learns explosion at level 45 and I caught mine at level 40. There was no danger of it killing itself and I used my Master Ball for nothing!
It's okay, though. I'll get over it.
>>25855672
Whiscash too
Venonat is top candidate.
A level 6 Oddish in Silver. I had no idea what I was doing. My brother teased me about it for years.
>>25855534
Mewtwo, duh. It even has his initials on it.
>>25855534
Escaping shinies. That, and only that.
>>25855534
Something like this.
RBY - Mewtwo
GSC - Entei or Raikou
RSE - Rayquaza
FRLG - Mewtwo
DPP - Mesprit or Cresselia. Though I didn't use it in Platinum
XY - Mewtwo
ORAS - Deoxys
>>25860018
>Deoxys
Literally why? There's zero reason to do this because you can just KO it and meet it at the top of Sky Pillar
>>25860018
Oh and I used it on Mewtwo again in HGSS.
I just feel like he belongs in a Master Ball
>>25860027
A) Didn't know that
B) Who else in the game should I use it on? Deoxys is the highest level legendary.
>>25860040
Save it for shiny legendaries. Like for example Ho-Oh only has 20 PP in ORAS so if you find a shiny a masterball would be the most useful thing ever
>>25855534
That's mewtwos pokeball
your mom XD!
>>25855534
Hidden Power legendaries is literally the only correct usage.
>>25855605
And then release it
>>25860040

Are you familiar with the concept of Catch Rates?

>>25855534
Absolutely nothing but roaming legends if i'm desperate. EVERYTHING MUST BE CAUGHT IN REGULAR POKEBALLS OR A FANCY BALL TO FIT A THEME.
Shiny Reshiram in ORAS
>tfw its tail glows purple so it matches the ball
Always Mewtwo. The balltism demands it. If a particular game doesn't have Mewtwo, then either a roaming legendary or a shiny legendary.

it was the biggest wiscash in the lake, eluded that fisherman for years. he came with a plan.

>>25861022
Why did you delete his save
>>25861044
Because I'm an asshole and wanted to play something other than blue. I had no idea that saving would delete his save.
>>25861022
That's what you fucking deserved.
>>25855534
Nothing. Even the one time i found a shiny legendary, i caught it in a premier ball. I'd only use it on an exploding shiny if i have no Dampmon, or on a shiny legendary that's 1-2PP away from Struggle
>>25855730
>Teleport
But a quick ball on Abra/Ralts is a 100% catch rate
>>25855904
>>25855912
Isn't he shiny locked though? Unless you're SRing for stats or natures but I don't really know why you would do that for a banned mon
Soft resetting for an HP ice zapdos using staraptor/smeargle
Using master balls as anything else takes far too long and soft reset is bad enough

>>25855534
A shiny Larvesta because it's my favorite pokemon.
>>25855658
>>25855707
Whats this meme about shiny Abra? Is it hard to catch or something?
>>25861904
It's because it'll do a 360 and Teleport away. What people don't know is a Quick Ball guarantees a catch
>>25855708
This. It's hard for me to use things that you can only have once.
>>25861916
Cant you use Arena Trap on it though?
>>25862471
Not totally sure, but chances are you have a Quick Ball instead of that
>>25855551
Nice Free Throw reference, Anon.
>>25862484
I havent tried yet, but it seems having a pokemon with Arena Trap (like Trapinch) as well as a quick ball/dusk ball should be enough to catch the fucker.
>>25861916
Fucking Quick balls are the best balls
>>25859558
>It's okay though, I'll get over it
Holy cow Anon, I don't think anyone's ever said those words on /vp/ before.
You should probably go before you become angry and soulless like the rest of us.
>>25855586
why?
>>25855649
Yep, it's an emergency shiny capture ball.
