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

NOTHING
>REGULAR POKÉMON ARE TOO EASY TO CATCH

This generally.

I did the Primal Kyogre fight without the master ball because I knew about Deoxys beforehand. Never again.

a Goldeen

Nothing. You save it for the Exploding Shiny.

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.

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.

Missingno. a bunch of them and catch everything.

You don't need to catch Deoxys though.

I just KO'd it.

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.

Oh sweet, I didn't know that.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Escaping shinies. That, and only that.

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

That's mewtwos pokeball

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

Always Mewtwo. The balltism demands it. If a particular game doesn't have Mewtwo, then either a roaming legendary or a shiny legendary.

Because I'm an asshole and wanted to play something other than blue. I had no idea that saving would delete his save.

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

But a quick ball on Abra/Ralts is a 100% catch rate

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

>>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.

Yep, it's an emergency shiny capture ball.
