What to spend my money/masterball on
Hey, I have been reading the forums for a few days now, and I just received the masterball recently, and im interested in what i should use it on. I know that for most of these games there is more than just 1 pokemon that is unattainable except thru use of the master ball, so I was just wondering who you need the master ball for, and who were the best characters from that list?
I know that most contests do not allow the use of the "uber" characters, but id rather get the best possible pokemon than the best possible pokemon who isnt uber. As for money, ive been saving most of my money since the beginning of the game. Ive been reading about EV/DV and learned about how i can use zinc and iron and all that to get myself 10 EVs per use (up to 100), and also after i get all my EVs i can just use rare candies to level up if i want, so is there a specific thing i should get in order to help me level? Also, am I even able to buy rare candies? I thought you could, but at least at this point in the game i am unable to. |
Well, every Pokémon is obtainable without a Master Ball. I've only used a Master Ball once in my life so far, and that was to catch Suicune in LG, simply because tracking the Roaming Pokémon back then was a nuisance.
This Gen., though, you have the Marking Map, which you will use to track down two specific legendaries, Mesprit and Cresselia. These two are the ones most people save their Master Ball for. Either one is good for it, so I can't say which one of those to use it on... A specific thing to help you level? You mean with EV-training? Or just getting Exp.? EV-training, you will want Macho Brace/Power Items, and maybe Pokérus, to greatly increase the rate you get EVs and make EV-training so much faster. As for leveling, it isn't that necessary now, with Lv. setting capabilities in Wi-Fi battling, but I guess to help you out with that, there's always Exp. Share...? The question has confused me somewhat, sorry. And you can't buy Rare Candies. Not with money anyway. You can get them from Battle Park with Battle Points, but considering how much you have to pay, and how hard it is to get a decent amount of BP, I wouldn't bother. |
I haven't used my master ball on Diamond yet. Dialga was really easy to catch, got Uxie and Giratina after about 25 balls, Azelf was a bit harder though.
Even Mespirit, just catch a Level 50+ Golbat and use Mean Look, simple as. I've heard that Regigigas is the hardest to catch, so I'll probablu save my Master Ball for him. |
Don't use your masterball on regigigas, "slow start" makes it useless for the beginning of the battle. Instead, waste, er, use it on Arceus. When it comes out, of course.
As for money, use it on the vitamins(protein, calcium, carbos, etc.), TMs, or Game Corner coins. As for rare candies, that is a big NO-NO while EV training. |
What to use MasterBall on?
Hey J.M., I did the same thing as you... use the MasterBall on regigigas! There are soem LVL 70's that can be hard to catch... but you should use it on regigigas!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is what i understood about rare candies from what Ive read:
If you use a rare candy, then you will receive zero EVs for that level, but if you have already trained all 550 (i dont remember what the exact number was) EV points, then you could rare candy level the character the rest of the way up and it would have no effect. But if rare candies arent available, Ill use it on protein and all that stuff then. Are there any specific TMs i should buy? The only one i saw and figured i should buy is the false swipe one for capturing the legendaries. I just got Dialga without a masterball. It got confused and hit itself to like 1 or 2 HP...thanks dialga. Her DVs are terrible, so i guess she probably doesnt really even have a purpose... HP 9-10, attack 3-4, def 5-6, spc atk 28-29, spc def 22-23, speed 0... oof. |
I used Mine for Cresselia, and caught my Mesprit with a Quick Ball.

I was just planning too, that's all I might actually try with Ultra, Timer and Dusk Balls and if it's just impossible I'll be lazy and throw the Master Ball |
I caught Regigigas on my THIRD Dusk Ball. I still have my masterball lol haven't needed to use it at all :P
Most pokemon can be caught with normal, everyday, run-of-the-mill pokeballs for any other just throw loads of dDusk or Ultra Balls at them it really is that easy :P |
I caught both my Dialga and Palkia on the first Dusk ball, with Palkia being at 3/4 health! The hardest to catch for me was Heatran, while on the run, Mesprit took awhile. (I used Quick ball....:P)
~M51 |
For my Dialga i used a Pokeball, Heatran was a Dusk Ball, Cresselia and Mesprit were both Ultra Balls....all the others were Dusk Balls lol
|
I brung Pokemon with Master balls from my old game because my stupid friend used a cheat on my Ruby version to give me 99 Masterballs but anyways. I used my original Master ball for Kureseria because it ran around but Mespirt did as well and it wasn't hard to catch either because I had another masterball :P
:t354:TG |
Well, i just got my 8th badge, and im on my way to the Elite 4, and still have only seen Dialga. Also never seen a shiny...or a pokemon with good DVs...>_<
|
Just use it on anything that you cant be bothered to sit there throwing balls at, there isnt such thing as a pokemon that requires you to use a masterball to catch it.
|
Last pokemon game i played was Red/Blue. I was told that the 3 legendaries were uncatchable without a masterball, so i caught one on blue, one on red, then restarted my game (after trading him over to blue) and caught the last one on red again... I also remember something like Mew Two was uncatchable with masterball...But i was in middle school then and my friends were stupid and i was stupid enough to trust them.
|
as what was said above, No legend is uncatchable without a master ball. Ok i can remember actually thinking my mates were telling the truth when they said "Oooo Mewtwo evolves into Mewthree!" or "you can't catch Mew without Mewtwo in a masterball" but we do believe some of the weirdest things lol :P
(Ahhhh Pikablue, Mewthree, Mewfour, Burniray my favourite lies :P) |
