Do you ever use repeat balls?

    Honestly, they're one of the "forgettable" balls that I collect on the ground then they just stay in my bag forever... I don't think I've ever used one, and if I have, it was purely accidential and I meant to use another type of Pokeball...

    For me, Repeat Balls are pretty useful.

    Cause my Type is to catch 2 of ALL The Pokemons.Even Legends.(For Legends i trade them from my other game.)

    Yes, but I rarely use Repeat Balls as it is.
    I only use them if I want a pokémon with branched evolutions, and if I'm looking for a pokémon with a particular ability.

    I find Repeat Balls to be the less used Pokeballs for me. I mean, I don't see the point of using them when I can just use quick balls or ultra balls for completing my pokedex. xD So, no. I don't really use them, it's rare for me.

    I found useful when tracking down all the Unown or trying to get a Ditto with a specific Nature, but apart from that? Way too specialised to be useful.

    I normally use repeat balls if I'm trying to catch a certain Pokemon with the nature I want and preferably decent IVs.

    By the way this is totally a true story but I actually caught Groudon on Pokemon Ruby with a repeat ball, I used up every other Pokeball I had excluding the Masterball and the repeat ball for some bizarre reason managed to catch it.

    I never have. I tend to stick with UltraBalls, not really a fan of using any of the special pokeballs.

    Well, I don't use repeat balls because as what most said, what's the point of catching a Pokémon you've already caught? But what if, example, I have a Zubat. I found a shiny Zubat.

    Nope, I rarely use them. Sometimes I may want to collect a few of a certain Pokemon, but that's only if I already have a Repeat Ball in my bag for some reason.

    Back before I had an AR and the like, I'd use them so I could catch a buttload of swarm pokes or pokemon that have Synchronize or other useful abilities, etc.

    Oh yeah, I use them all the time! When I have no other choise and am despaired!
    (I actually kind of remember the first time I tried to catch Rayquaza I came into exaktly this situation. It just escaped the hyperballs every freaking time…)
