The Masterball (what do you use it on?)

    The Masterball, the supreme, rarest, and most accurate pokeball of them all.

    To the point, excluding those that used Missing Number back in the day, or an Action Replay cheat to get a near infinite supply of these balls, which pokemon do you normally use this mostly-one-per-game pokeball? (try to be specific, such as, which legendary/ies you use it on).

    Obviously it doesn't have to be one per Gen, I'm pretty sure you all know about the other ways such as the lottery and whatnot, so feel free to mention those too.

    I personally used mine on...

    Mewtwo in Gen 1
    Suicune in Crystal (do'h!)
    Ho-oh in Silver (caught Lugia through regular means of course)
    Haven't played Gen 3 (or 3.5) I should get to that sometime.
    Giritina in Platinum (double do'h!)

    And in SoulSilver I plan to use it on Mewtwo (with a complete disregard to how much easier it is to catch compared to the three roaming pokemon: Entei, Raikou, and Latios). I'm right outside Cerulean Cave ingame anyway (and my pokedex is 149/493...as you can tell, I planned this in advance).

    In Ruby, I used my MB on Groudon.
    In Sapphire, I used it on Kyogre.
    In Emerald, I can't remember.
    In my FireRed playthroughs, i've used it on Mewtwo and Suicune.
    In Platinum, i'm saving it for God so that I can get an Arceus with good IVs and a good nature. Giratina was frustrating as hell, but I wanted to save my MB.

    I waste it on a legendary because I'm lazy. And then I get to an even better legendary and I go, "Damn, I shouldn't have used it back then."

    For example, I used it on Kyogre on Sapphire, but when I got to Rayquaza ... :/

    Since I recently restarted almost all of my GBA Pokémon games, I actually don't use the Master Balls that I get. I trade them into my Platinum version so I can catch wandering Pokémon like Mesprit and Cresselia. xD;
    But before that, I just used them on random legendaries.

    I really try not to use the master ball at all. But I used to use it on the main legendary. (Like in Ruby, it was Groudon, Pearl was Palkia, etc.)

    I shy from using it. But here's a list:

    Yellow Version: Mew (Using a glitch), Mewtwo (through regular means)
    Silver: Entei/Raikou (Which ever I didn't catch using an Ultra Ball+Sleep Power combo)
    Ruby: Latios
    Sapphire: Latias
    Emerald: Latias/Latios
    FireRed: Entei/Suicune/Raikou (Depending on Starter), or Mewtwo
    Colleseum: Tyrannitar (Too much of a pain)
    XD: Lugia (DUH)
    Diamond: Arceus, Cresselia, Darkrai, Shaymin, or Mesprit
    Pearl: Same as Diamond
    Platinum: Same as Diamond/Pearl

    i usually use it on the storyline legendary, due to extreme laziness, but sometimes i will save it for the roaming legedaries, i find them to be a huge pain

    I use 'em on wandering legendaries (the birds in Platinum because of Roost). From multiple play-throughs of various games, I had stockpiled a good number of Master Balls and I still have a few left should I come across a shiny that I want. The others don't go anywhere so I tough it out with Dusk, Ultra, and Timer Balls.

    I've only played got to the legendaries in Pearl and Platinum, as I was very young playing Yellow and gold, didn't get 3rd Gen. In Pearl I used it for Dialga, and Giritina in Platinum

    I always use my Master Ball on Pokemon that only appear as sprites outside of battle. For Uber battling this is the only way to get good Pokemon as using any other form of Pokeball would be a waste of time. Hence, I generally use it on Pokemon like Kyogre, Groudon, Palkia, Dialga etc.
