I just got the Masterball in Y and I'm wondering what I should use the Masterball on. I'm totally fine with spamming Ultraballs on legendaries for an hour but I am more wondering if there are any legendary Pokemon such as the dogs in leaf green where they would flee after one turn. So is there anything like that? What would you recommend using it on?

Mewtwo is in my opinion the hardest to catch, so use it on him.

To be completely honest, I find it useless. I've saved mine, from my multiple play through. I like breeding Balls onto my babies and Master Ball doesn't pass via breeding. Legendary aren't as bad as previous games. Mewtwo for example is FAR easier to catch in a Pokéball on XY than it was in an Ultra Ball on RBY.

Mewtwo would probably be the hardest to catch overall and the Master Ball kind of matches the color scheme. I'm probably going to Wonder Trade all mine away though.

Since there are no roamers: the legendary bird becomes stationary, I'd say wait to use it on that random shiny Graveler you may or may not ever encounter that has the chance to use Explosion/Selfdestruct.

I've used mine on Mewtwo, as it was sort of difficult to capture for me. ): Wish I hadn't, though.

I normally use it on shinies because that's more of a rare occurrence than the legendaries

I used mine on Yvetal because I didn't know you could re-fight him and I was going to lose all my pokemon :( Though like said above Mewtwo is probably the best choice, he is the hardest to catch.

I would definitely wait for that random shiny Pokemon that could kill itself if you don't catch it right off the bat. Or just a random shiny in general, since you may not be able to weaken it if it's lower leveled or something like that. Using the Master Ball on a legendary might sound like a good idea, but with patience, you'll end up catching those without it.

I catch every Pokémon in regular Poké Balls because I like how it looks. This includes Xerneas, Mewtwo and Zapdos.

If you want to soft-reset for IVs then Mewtwo is probably the most annoying catch because of Recover and the unskippable cutscene.

I used it on Mewtwo, it made sense because it's a pain to catch the darn thing.

I would say either Mewtwo just because or a roaming legendary to not have to follow it around...

I kept mine. Never know when that random shiny might come at a bad time.

I'm saving mine for a random shiny that may show up that knows self destruct, explosion, or has a move where it can run away.

That doesn't work because they flee as before you even make a move.

Don't use it for Mewtwo, any legendary in a cave is easily caught with false swipe, hypnosis, and a dusk ball.

Totally not true. Not always, anyway.
I went through at least 20 or 30 dusk balls on Zygarde after false swipe and sleep before I finally gave up on using them. But the first cheap Heal Ball I throw for poops and giggles... of course he loves it. Whatever, he likes his pink ball; he's happy, I'm happy.


Either way, I'm with everyone else. I didn't use my MB on a legendary, may as well save it for the chance of running into a shiny pokemon that's capable of killing itself or running away. =p

Spoiler:
Or a bidoof, for poops and giggles.

To add to my original post, don't use it on Ynvetal or Xerneas.

Save the Master Ball on a legendary bird, because its Hidden Power is more important due to their shallow move pools, so you can soft reset as many times as possible to easily capture it with the right nature and HP. Mewtwo and Zygarde don't need Hidden Power, as the former has a large move pool, while the latter is a physical sweeper.

I yolo'd it on an Eevee. Cause when Espeon comes out from a masterball, people know what the deal is.
