Do you tend to keep or use your Master Ball?

  • I tend to use my Master Ball in games with roaming legendaries, but not in other games. I would use it if I encountered a shiny Pokemon with Explosion/Selfdestruct/Memento/Roar/Whirlwind/Teleport.

  • I never use it. Usually because I think it is ugly and want my legendaries in a pokeball that matches them more.

    honestly i think the only time i'll ever use my master ball is if i find a shiny that i know has roar or teleport or something of that nature. but other than that what's the fun in a master ball when i can attempt to catch everything in a pokeball or a ball that fits the pokemon instead.

  • I used to save them for the wandering legendaries that were so typical prior to Gen 6, but now I just save it. If I ever get into wormhole hunting I might use it then.

  • I used to always save it and then just never use it, but I think in recent games where I knew I wasn't gonna do any endgame grinding or completion, I just tossed it at the plot legendary so I could move on with the game faster.

    But I really should keep it around, especially as someone who's lost a shiny to Roar. I should know better lol.

    I rarely use it, thinking that I could catch X Pokémon easily after lowering its HP, using a status move and an Ultra Ball.

    In UM, when I found a Mewtwo in Ultra Space, I had to use it because I was unlucky with the Ultra Balls, and the team I had was being beaten up.
