Who do you use the Master Balls on?

In the Generation I games that I have played (before finding out about the item cloning glitch), I saved the Master Ball for Mewtwo, as had been suggested by many game guides and walkthroughs-however on my first full playthrough of Yellow, I wasted it on a Farfetch'd after getting frustrated over it breaking out of my Great Balls. I don't recall ever using my Master Ball in any of the Generation II games.

Most of the time I never use the Master Ball. I enjoy the challenge of catching the legendary Pokemon in Poke, Great and Ultra Balls. The times that I have used it are usually on roaming Pokemon that are a pain in the ass to catch.

I used my masterball on a wandering legendaries like Suicune or Raikou. At least the other legendaries stay in one location!

I'd always use it on roaming legends. However, since there were none in B2/W2, I actually used it on a Metang.

I only use masterballs on shinies, just to be safe, or I will give it to someone in exchange for one of their starters.

I try not to use the Master Ball entirely, but I will use it on roaming legendaries if I don't have an escape preventing ability/move (which I usually have).

If I see a shiny, though, I'd use the Master Ball in a heartbeat. Much more important than a roaming legendary.

I actually don't really use my Masterballs anymore. I haven't in a long time. I like to catch legendaries with Ultra Balls. I guess I would say I use them on the roaming Pokemon, such as Latios or Latias for when I don't have someone with Mean Look or just don't feel like trying to use other Pokeballs.

I used my masterballs on your mother last night.

Jk, kind of XP

Seriously though, I use em on any roaming legendary since tracking them down the old fashioned way is unbearably boring at times.

I only use the Master Ball if I encounter a shiny Pokemon or a roaming Pokemon. If I don't encounter any of those by the end of the game, I just use it on the main legendary of the game.

I used one on Raikou (sorry, can't remember how to spell it haha), which was a mistake. A different one, I used on Dialga, I think.

Now that I have two hacked games, I have mass amounts of masterballs. I always have a few on Diamond version for shiny hunting. c;

I always save my Master Ball on the off chance that I encounter a shiny which I don't want to risk loosing. So far I've encountered all of zero shinies so my Master Ball always sits in my bag.

I usually save masterballs for legends but don't really plan on which legend to use it on except if the game has a Mewtwo in it.

Back in RBY i used my Master Ball on Mewtwo, like almost everyone else.
After that, i usually catch one of the roamers with it, just to avoid the endless searching and capturing.
I always have the faint hope to use it on a shiny one day...but i have never seen one :(

I always use Master Ball for a Legendary Pokémon that I need to roam.
Seriously I won't use Master Ball for main Legendary, I'll use Ultra Ball instead.
