Well 'cause this can apply to more than Black and White, I'm throwing it over to PGC. Plus we've already got that one asking what you used your masterballs on.

I generally use Great Balls, tho.

I usually use my masterballs for the main legendary of the game. (On the front covers; Girantina, Palkia, Ho-oh, Lugia etc.) and once I've used my masterball, I just use mainly ultra balls and any other spare bals in my bag; which are often just dusk balls or heal balls.

Well, like everything now outside of Kanto / Johto I mainly use Poké Balls (Great and Ultra balls are only for things in Kanto / Johto, where the balls originate, or pokémon I'm trading away). However, sometimes I use a Master Ball. Mainly when catching Mesprit / Cresselia when I have no desire to use it, or Mewtwo, as to me the "M" means it's for Mewtwo.

And if I'm in Hoenn / Sinnoh, I'll use one of that region's exclusive Poké Balls alongside Poké Balls. Except for the Regi Trio in Platinum - I only got them once, and I literally sold everything except my most precious tms in order to buy hundreds of Poké Balls in groups of 10 in order to get Premier Balls - Premier Balls for event legendaries, makes sense right?

Oh, did I mention Unova? Well, I'm not sure as I can't use Dream Balls, but I think it may be just plain ol' Poké Balls, or maybe a mixture of the imports from other regions. Who knows?

But yeah, I'm very specific. Gone are the days of just lobbing whatever happens to be in my bag!

It depends. For example, for Groudon I use Dark Balls. For the others, I use quick balls. After, I use ultraballs or chronoballs. But I can also use GreatBalls because I'm lucky with legandaries. I caught Rayquaza with a GreatBalls, all is possible :)

I normally use Ultra balls and Dusk Balls (especially if I'm battling a legendary in a cave at night).
I save the Masterball for roamers.

The only exceptions would be Dialga, Palkia, and Zekrom whicH I've caught in normal Pokéballs.

Ultra, Dusk, and Timer are my most popular choices. For a roaming legendary, like [email protected] or Thundurus, I use the Master Ball. And I've caught a few in a Pokeball once. Long ago, I had a challenge where catching Pokemon in a Pokeball was a requirement, including legendaries.

I tend to use a Quick Ball in desperate hope, then give up, wittle it down, and toss Dusk Balls if I can. If it's not in a cave or it's daytime, I bring out the ultra balls. I think I caught one of the Pixies in DPPt with a Timer Ball, though, since it had to have been over 100 turns. <_<

I use Master Ball on main legendary that is available before E4 and then I use Ultra Balls and Dusk Balls.
Dusk Balls are pretty effective since most of legendaries are in caves =D

At PKMN Black, i used a Masterball to catch Tornadus. And Ultraballs to catch Cobalion, Virizion, and Reshiram.
---------------------
At PKMN Heartgold, i used a Quickball to catch Raikou or Entei, and a Masterball to catch Ho-oh.
