What Pokemon did you use the Master Ball on?
 
Hello guys! I am interested to find out which Pokemon you used the Master Ball on :) And also, please state the other legendaries and what balls you caught them! If you can, please also state the amount of balls (Don't think dirty ^~^) of that type that you used it on (How many tries)

Rayquaza - Master Ball (1 Try, duh?)
Groudon - Ultra Ball (17 Tries)
Kyogre - Dive Ball (53 Tries no kidding!)

Latias - Pokeball (126 tries including the other times it escaped. I used a Pokeball as a last resort! :o)
Latios - Pokebal (0 tries, traded with my cousin for a Rayquaza that I have cloned once previously :P)

Regice, Regirock, Registeel: For all three Regi's, I didn't manage to catch them because I lost my Cartridge (T^T)

Jirachi - Ultra Ball (6 - 8 tries can't remember o.o)

Lugia - Killed it :'( (I found it at the Cave of Origin the first time I entered there to search for that Champion guy)

Post below how you caught them! :D

Lugia in Cave of Origin?
You used ultra balls on Jirachi which is colloseum exclusive?
Cheats?

Whatever,
I used my first Master Ball on an Altaria.(I didnt knew english back then so i thought it was adifferent colored pokebal
On my other runs i used them on the Eon pokemons for obvious reasons.

LividZephyr October 11th, 2012 9:02 AM

I don't use the Master Ball. I work hard to get things captured. Even runners.

Though in my original Sapphire, I used the Master Ball on Latias. Since I hate runners... I might have to do that again... xD

YourPokemonLPs October 11th, 2012 11:19 AM

My first playthrough of Sapphire I used it on Kyogre, which was a bit of a waste. But normally I use it on a runner like Latias, since I have such a hard time catching them.

Empire October 11th, 2012 11:38 AM

Rayquaza.
Then i realized how hard it was to catch Latias :p

Yup, cheats :) I was like 8 back then, I could do things that I can't do now :o and I guess I was reaaaaaaaaally lucky. Back then, I had all the time in the world so I just kept running around the Cave of Origin because I knew it would be sealed later. I was really determined that there were rare Pokemon in there but wasn't expecting a Lugia.

I used it on an Oddish like a badass! It was completely unintentional though haha. When I ran into Latias I looked through my bag to find the master ball and it wasn't there so I assumed I just had forgotten to pick it up or something during the story, but then afterwards I checked through my box and it turns out I must've accidentally used it on an Oddish at some point since that had been caught with a master ball ._. I still managed to catch all the legendaries though, it was just a bit more of a challenge :D

ForYouu October 12th, 2012 6:16 AM

Sapphire

Kyogre - Pokeball.. with a level 20 zigzagoon! Yes, it was epic :)
Rayquaza - Ultra Ball, god knows how many tries.
Latias - Masterball. I found him while getting Rayquaza, my brother shouted and said "Use the Masterball!" I used it and got him :)
Regi's - Ultra Balls
Jirachi - I don't do events.
Deoxys - I don't do events.

Fire Red
Articuno, Moltres and Zapdos - Ultra Ball, hate them lol
Mewtwo - Ultra ball too, I have yet to use the masterball
Raikou (I chose Squirtle) yet to have found.. not that I'm playing it anymore lol.

thanks for listening :)

My last full playthrough of Sapphire was so long ago that I couldn't tell you how many Ultra Balls I used on the different legendaries, but I do remember that I used my Master Ball on Latias. I think that was the last time I actually used a Master Ball on a legendary Pokemon in any game.

PlatinumDude October 12th, 2012 8:09 PM

In Sapphire, I used it on Kyogre. In Emerald, I used it on Latios.

xxReshiramxx October 12th, 2012 8:41 PM

I used my Master Ball on Kyogre the first time I played though Sapphire.

Tman October 12th, 2012 9:01 PM

First Sapphire: Latias, I mean, it was impossible to track it down without Wynaut/Wobba or a Mean Looker, ect.

First Ruby: Shiny Numel, only had the Masterball on me so I figured why not!

The Grubby Pup October 12th, 2012 9:25 PM

I usually just throw the master ball at the legendary Pokemon that's mascoting their version.

Sapphire=Kyogre
Ruby=Groundon
Emerald= Hm, ya know, I'm not sure what I used the Master Ball on this version

gunnerpow7 October 13th, 2012 2:32 AM

In my very first playthrough of Sapphire, I used it on Kyogre because I was a total nubcake then... I now use it to catch Latias...

Hikamaru October 13th, 2012 3:43 AM

I used it on Groudon when I played Ruby, I was still a noob back then.

o Pikachu o October 13th, 2012 4:04 PM

I used mine on latios because its roaming and I didn't wanna try to catch it.

Thursday October 13th, 2012 7:09 PM

Sapphire- Latias. I got the game around 8 months after it came out and found out that everyone hated the dang roaming pokemon ;p I also defeated Kyogre because I ran into the fight with only great balls...

Emerald- I still haven't used a master ball in any of my plays. I like to keep it to prove that I don't need to use it. As for other legendaries:

Kyogre- Don't remember how many but I do remember that I almost cleared my whole ball pocket out :-/ Checked back and emerald says I caught it with a timer ball.
Groudon- I actually remember getting mad because I used 99 ultra balls (I cloned them) and didn't caught it but captured it with a regular pokeball.
Rayquaza- Don't remember how many pokeballs but my game says I caught it with a luxury ball (I also cloned them)

Regis- I caught them all with great balls :D

Latios- Ultra ball

Thanks for the entries :) Keep them coming guys!

Alexander Nicholi October 15th, 2012 7:29 AM

I used my Master Ball in Emerald on Rayquaza, then imported another from a second copy to clone :D

LLovro October 15th, 2012 12:34 PM

In sapphire I used it on kyogre -.- and I caught latias with help of my awesome wobbufet :D
But now in ruby I'm planning to use my masterball on latios

socko October 15th, 2012 3:04 PM

Haha why not catch it with Wobuffet again? I used mean look and managed to catch him on my Sapphire run :)

joeyhuab October 16th, 2012 8:51 AM

The first time I played Sapphire, I used it on Kyogre, the next restarts, I learned better to use it on Latios/Latias.

Bounsweet October 16th, 2012 9:00 AM

I don't think Dive Balls have bonus effects on Kyogre, so I believe it would be 53.

I almost always use it on [email protected], because it's the only runner in the game so why not?

I do dislike using Master Balls though just because the entrance animation thing is so flashy when a Pokemon is caught with them u_u

Sephirothxx October 16th, 2012 9:44 AM

First time through, I didn't get the masterball (oops) and I thought Groudon was supposed to be like a boss battle so I killed him. (Yeah, Ruby was my first pokemon game.) Next time I used it on Groudon. It's always on groudon, then I piss myself in anger trying to catch Rayquaza with an ultra ball.

Echidna October 16th, 2012 1:44 PM

Well I don't remember how much, but I caught all of them with Ultra Balls except Rayquaza and Latios.

Rayquaza ~ Pokeball (Only 1, found out it works a lot better when Rayquaza is flying xD)
Latios ~ Master Ball
