  • I caught thundurus with the Watchog hypnosis/meanlook combination using a dusk ball. I used my 1st masterball on Tyranitar(shiny) and I still have my second, shooting for a third. I was so shocked when that man on the beach said, "I found a masterball, but I have amother si you can have it. come back tomorrow."
    Zekrom. I just wanted to catch it as fast as possible so I could continue with the final bosses. Besides, I don't see myself catching any of the roaming Legendaries any time soon, anyway.
    You can catch Zekrom by throwing a regular pokeball at it, without even inflicting damage. He want's to Join you.
    I wish I had a snagball...

    I have two master balls because I played through the game once without using it, and then held on to it when I restarted. I used one on Landorus because I was so sick after hunting for thundurus and tornadus I just wanted to catch the dang thing. I'm thinking of using my other on Kyurem and soft resetting till I get a shiny. :)

  • I honestly don't know what people are thinking using master ball on zekrom/reshiram, even if they are "lazy"... It only took 2 ultraballs to catch mine :\ They'll probably regret it when they encounter a shiny or something >.>

    I haven't used the one that was given to me by Junpier, and I also have another one given to me by that guy in cestelia because I have traded more than 50 times. I haven't found any legenderies so far that hard to catch at all, I think I've already caught all the non-event ones. (Well, Victini too)

    I hoping to save them for an event or to transfer them onto the next set of games. :3

  • Kyurem's being difficult. I might use mine on him and get my second Masterball as I'm finishing my 'dex by trading. I'll use that on a shiny.

    And... I caught my Zekrom with third Ultra ball. The only other legendary I have to catch is like, Landorus... or maybe some future event with Genesect or something, lol. Genesect...

  • All of you who used your Master Ball on Reshiram or Zekrom: Reshiram and Zekrom have a catch rate of 45 (255 is the highest possible catch rate), which is the same catch rate as a Deino. Throwing a normal Poke Ball at Reshiram or Zekrom at full health with no status ailment has a 5.9% chance of being successful. Do this with almost any other legendary, including Kyurem and Mewtwo, and the odds of catching it are 0.4% because their catch rate is 3. In other words, catching Reshiram and Zekrom is EASY. Volcarona is 3 times harder to catch, with a catch rate of 15.

    Pretty much sums up the reason why I have to do a facepalm whenever I hear about someone wasting his/her masterball on a zekrom or reshiram... The only thing that can kinda alleviate this mistake is that you can get a second masterball in this game without much difficulty (if you have a friend).

    I have managed to catch all of the legendaries i have encountered so far with ultraballs. Zekrom was particularly easy.

    I used my first Masterball on Zekrom (I'm too lazy to actually weaken it).
    Same here :/
    It's what I do on most mascots, only to use ultra balls/other balls on the harder ones later :P
    (i.e, My Genesect and Melotta. Or MutAnt and Melodi ><)

  • I almost used it on Metagross. It's not a Legendary (pseudo, maybe) and it wasn't even Shiny, but I HATE pokemon with Catch Rates of 3. Even Metang has it. Why do they have to be so hard to catch. D:

    I ended up using an Ultraball on it, so I got lucky. :P

    I still have yet to use my Master Ball actually. I don't really use it on any legendaries or Pokémon in the game though. I rather save it for something that may require me to use it, just because it would be so difficult to catch. n_n

    Though there are ways to get more than one master ball in the game, it's kind of hard and until I'd have at least a couple of them, would I use it on something like roaming legendaries.

    I used my master ball on Tornadus
    I really don't want to bother fallowing him around!

  • Like others have said, I will only use my Masterball if I come across a shiny, and even then I'll probably use a plain ol' Pokeball unless my team is so ridiculously overlevelled that it would result in a OHKO.

    I mainly used my 1st masterball for the roamer. The 2nd masterball I got from trading with people, I do not know yet on whom to use it..
