    Same story. That and I ran out of Ultra Balls. But hey. I don't care about legendaries any more, and Salamence was going to be the last member I added to the team, so why not? Her name is Dinner, by the way.

    As for any other times, I can't really think of any.

    Um...the closest I came to this was using it on Palkia when I fist played through Pearl. I know it's a legendary, but it's supposed to be really easy to catch without it...

    I wasted mine on an Abra, I think, a long time ago, before I knew how important Masterballs were. Hehe. I didn't even KEEP the Abra, either.

    Nope, i have only used master balls on legendarys. Even when you are battling a farfetched and cant weaken it because your pokemon are too strong. and then you start chucking a bunch of ultra balls.

    Oh man the first time I played red I ran out of pokeballs and had to use the masterball on a metapod.... yea a metapod. I was so upset when I got to mewtwo and couldn't catch him, but I didn't know I only got one.

    Definately.

    Back in the days of Missingno and the cloning glitch, I caught most everything with a masterball. There was no reason NOT to. You couldn't tell what kind of ball you caught it with; that didn't come around until later.

    I wanted to see if it really could catch any Pokemon, so i used it on a Lv. 3 Rattata in Red. Also, my brother used his first one on a Clampearl in Emerald. :/

    No, but I almost used it a long time ago when I was only left with normal pokeballs when I was trying to catch a high non level legendary.

    well... something like that.

    When I got my masterball, I gave it to a pokemon to hold and boxed it so I wouldn't be tempted to use it, and then i went to the Mew event, and guess what pokemon I traded? I was so sad ):

    When I first started playing Pokemon I used my Masterball only on the main legendary, but these days I usually get bored as hell and just throw it at a random Pokemon.

    Beldum in Platinum. Well, technically, multiples of them. I soft resetted to get a Beldum with a preferred nature and I threw a Master Ball at each of them because I didn't want to bother with the low capture rate and Take Down potentially killing itself.

    But I had transferred multiple Master Balls accumulated in other games, so I still have some left :P

    In silver Version, I used my Master Ball on a Skarmory, because it looked cool and I thought it was shiny, but it was just oddly colored in that game. =/
