On ruby i used to catch groudon because I did not want to fight it at the time but i thought it was funny because the guy was all like"you will never beat groudon" and i was like "PEW GO MASTERBALL" instant catch but now i don't use it on Y because I've gotten somewhat better at cathing Legends than on Crystal were it took me forever to get Entei...

The Master Ball is a gift of the almighty Arceus and should never, ever be used.
|
I like to coerce Pokemon into my poke balls by threatening to use the Master Ball.
"Just don't fight it, enter this lovely poke ball, it has all the amenities you need!" ... "Look don't fight it. You can either get in here willingly, or I can force it on you with this bad boy!" *pats the Master Ball* "Yeah, that's what I thought." |
I always use the Master Ball, but only on those Legendaries that are difficult to catch, but still permitted for the Battle Subway such as the Swords of Justice. I never use it on Reshiram or Zekrom, because they're simply easier to catch than others.
|
i never use my master ball because i never see a point in using it if i can catch it with a pokeball. even if it does take more effort i just hate using it bc i feel like i've used it on the wrong pokemon or s/t lol
|
My Master Ball is always reserved for that moment when I come across a shiny Pokemon that I'm worried I won't be able to catch with another Poke Ball- either because my other Pokemon are overleveled compared to it, or it has a ridiculously low catch rate.
I only time I actually used the Master Ball in a situation like that was with a Shiny Ducklett on Pokemon White. Looking back, I probably jumped the gun and could've caught it with another ball, but it was 3 in the morning, and I wasn't going to take my chances by accidentally knocking it out while half asleep. |
Well every one is pretty much saying the same thing, sorry game freak were not using it on what you want us to.
|
I used to use the Master Ball on the Legendary Pokemon but now I thought of Why not use it on the roaming ones.
|
It depends. Usually I'd reserve it for explosion/whirlwind/roar using shinies, but it's way too situational to ever be used. On X/Y I just used it on Mewtwo to save myself resetting for decent natures and stats.
|
Master balls - Oh Jesus Christ ,F*** No :D
Ultra balls - Oh my Lord Belial - Yes ,Yes & Yes :D That is my opinion :] |
When I really needed. But I mostly use ultraball for legendaries.
Also with basic strategy to catch a legendary without using a masterball. |
I don't usually use the masterball because it takes away the climactic legendary battle :p If I use it I wouldn't feel as fulfilled as a battle were I throw all my pokeballs at the guy XD Also, I guess I'd only use it on Mewtwo :p
|
Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. But I don't really like using it, since there's only one of it. Also, it takes out a lot of the work in capturing awesome legendaries. I tend to capture everything in pokeballs, since I just like the design better than the other balls.
|
I was catching my Giratina in Platinum using Master Ball, but I've decided to not use it in future games afterwards, because usually I only got one of the Master Ball.
|
This is the first game I still have my master ball after catching the legendary pokemon. Not complaining about that though, it's just interesting to note. Usually I need it for at least one pokemon somewhere.
|
When I was playing Pearl, I used my Master Ball because I thought that I couldn't catch it otherwise. XD I wasn't really smart back then, and I didn't know that it was pretty easy to catch if you tried. Afterwards, I never used my Master Ball. I always caught legendaries the hard way.
|
I only use the Master Ball on two specific Pokemon. Mewtwo and Mesprit. I find it suits those two very well!
If the said Pokemon isn't in the game then I end up just saving it for nothing really... |
Yes, usually on the Legendaries that flee after one turn.
|
I use them on roaming Pokemon, usually, but since X and Y has no roamers as of right now I ended up using it on Mewtwo. Not going to suffer trying Mean Look/an ability/other methods to trap + catch them anymore.. too much of a pain. ;(
|
I tried not using my master ball once. I forgot to save the game for a considerable time, so I was being extra careful. I ended up getting a critical hit and the legendary went bye-bye. About four shinies have gotten away from me because of unfortunate critical-hits, so I tend not to risk it. I know it seems a bit anti-climatic, but I never use legendaries anyway, so I just don't really care.
|
I remember that even back when I first got Sapphire, I didn't use the Master Ball on Kyogre. Actually, I went and used in on Rayquaza instead. It's a Level 70 already, so I might as well have. And then I did the same in Emerald. When I replay those two though, I save it for [email protected]
In Platinum, I only used the Master Ball for Mesprit, because my god there were too many roamers. In Black and White, my Master Ball was reserved for Tornadus. In Black 2/White 2, I don't think I even used it at all xD Actually, in those games I seemed to have the most luck [catching two of the Swords of Justice at full health with Ultra Balls]. And finally, now in X and Y I haven't even touched them. Granted, I'm at the E4 anyways, but I don't really plan to use it. At this point they're more like trophies than anything. And even when I'm tempted to use em', I try to convince myself to save it for something better. Even when there usually isn't xD |
The last time I used masterball was in the original gold lol. I usually use quickball, timer ball or duskball. I always intend to save the masterball for SOMETHING, its just that I can never bring myself to use it. xD
|
I use it as a last resort. in heartgold I used it on Latias because I didn't want to chase after it (I hate roaming legendaries lol)
|
Not gonna lie, I sometimes use it just because if I don't, it's useless...It's not like there are any achievements for not using it, besides the possibility of some pretentious individual thinking he's better than you for catching one 3-catch rate pokemon more than you without the use of a master ball...
|
I don't generally use them, simply because I don't generally go around finding all the legendaries.
In Pearl, I once traded for a Masterball and a loan of the three "Regi"s in order to get Regigias, and used that Masterball while keeping my original. Also once got a Parichsu on the GTS, level 9, in a Masterball. I released it since it was either hacked/glitched or someone really unaware of what a Masterball is. |
