    Used my Master Ball on Mewtwo, since he in nearly impossible to catch otherwise. I caught Lugia, ho-oh, Suicune, and raiku with unltraballs. :)

    /breaks character/

    It was harder to get Azelf then to get Mewtwo! Maybe... 12 dusk balls to get him?

    Ratta. Master ball. Use. /win

    I used my Masterball on Ho-oh. I swear, they make it WAY too difficult to catch. Battle transcript from before I decided to use Masterball:

    Totodile used Surf!

    Totodile used Surf!

    *switches Pokemon*

    Togetic used Yawn!

    Ho-oh is asleep!

    *switches Pokemon*

    Scyther uses False Swipe!

    Ho-oh is asleep and with 1 hp!

    Uses Ultra ball which doesn't even shake.

    26 Ultra Balls later...

    None of your Ultra Balls worked and now Ho-oh is hitting itself out of boredom!

    I used mine on joeys rattata...He said it was like no other so i thought that if i could catch it it would be with a masterball...Joey knocked it away, soon after that I ran into what i thought was a downs-syndrome Teddiursa...It wasn't, it was joey's Bear-Gang after me.

    I used one on Lugia. I got that thing down to a sliver of HP, and paralyzed, chucked 20 Ultra Balls and a couple Heavy Balls... and nothing. Had a migrated pokemon hold my master ball from FireRed, and I used that on Mewtwo. I saved and tried catching Ho-oh twice, only to run through 45 Ultra Balls. I thought of using my 2nd Master Ball on Ho-oh, but eh, Mewtwo seems more important to me for some reason. :/ Kind of wish I had saved my first Master Ball for Ho-oh, due it it's higher level.

    I havn't used mine yet, and I don't plan to.

    Master ball = Technique for Pros with great catching skills.

    THIS is how you catch a pokemon MY way:

    Get a pokemon with the "Splash" move so you can OHKO the pokemon.
    Then you save.
    Throw your DS out the window.

    Ok dude, thats really cool

    oh i don't think i'll ever need a master ball!
    i caught my nidoran with a friend ball and i did just fine!
    and if i could get my hands on a masterball,
    i'd probably use it on another nidoran :D

    Haven't used it yet and not sure when I'm going to use it. It took a hell of a lot of time and lots of resets, but I eventually caught Ho-Oh after five Ultra Balls and three Dusk Balls (caught it on the third obviously), the legendary dogs shouldn't be too much of a problem, nor sure Lugia with a bit of advanced planning beforehand, Mewto, Kyogre and anyone else should follow the same standards.

    Looks like the Master Ball might not get any use this time. :(

    Ho-oh, but only because I didn't want to have to face it over and over again. I'll just migrate any master balls I need.

    Yes, I cheat to get Master Balls when I need them. And I probably won't need them.

    I do the same. I use Master Balls on all legendaries.

    I found Entei when I was running to the Pokethelon yesterday, so I just threw the Master Ball and caught him. I normally only use that on roamers anyway, so it's not like it was anything wasted.

    I used it on Lugia, no other balls were working! Even with a little bit of HP left and it was sleeping :(

    I'm gonna trade over another to my SS from Platinum or Emerald even (if I can?) :/
