4th Gen What did you do with your Masterball? (Or going to..)

[Nam]

As the name of this thread suggests, I want to know what everyone did or will do with their Masterball. I guess to put bluntly, what pokemon will you catch with it?

 

[Nam]

Yeah, I think the Masterball should be saved for desperate times like, lets say for whatever reason, perhaps a one chance event occurs. And you accidentally poisoned the legendary or extreme rare pokemon and if you don't catch it now you'll never have the chance to get it, unless traded. So then you'd use a Masterball. Although, that's a very specific situation. xD

I'm actually the same as you I guess.

On SoulSilver I used it to catch Lugia, after some 30+ ultra balls failed, just to see what its nature and IV's would be like. I ended up keeping that Lugia, because it was a Modest nature with near perfect IV's! I generally wait to use the masterball for a Pokemon that runs away in battle.

 

[FrostPheonix]

I generally use masterballs for roaming pokes, sometimes for shinies; you never know if you ko them or they run/struggle.

 

[LightOfTruth]

I would never use a Master Ball as I have other balls that suit the purpose fine :)

 

[~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~]

I used it on Palkia

[KingdraMaster]

i caught Raikou my fav legendary x3

 

[2Cool4Mewtwo]

I usually never use my masterball except when I see a shiny but I can't weaken it before I make it faint (which is a quite rare event), or when I encounter a shiny legendary with catch rate of 3.

In Diamond, I used by Master Ball to catch Dialga, I used it to catch Giratina in Platinum and I used it on Ho-Oh in HG. Not very exciting uses, but I didn't feel like passing up an 100% chance to get a powerful Pokemon right before the League.

 

[deoxys121]

In HGSS I used it to catch the Roaming Eon Pokemon. In DPPt, I used it to catch Mesprit. I always use my Master Ball on roamers.

 

[Shingy1]

On HG I used it on Latias, after encountering it countless times trying to attack it when would just run away... So I got annoyed and chucked a master ball at it.

 

[Raiskit]

I plan on using it on either a Shiny or one of the Roaming Pokemon if they annoy me enough too or if I have no choice. 3|

 

[Cresta]

I used it for the main legendary. I don't really think about using it for anything else.

 

[AtomicRebirth]

SoulSilver: I'm still deciding. It's either going to be Ho-Oh, Mewtwo, or Latios.

Diamond: I'm not even sure. Giratina maybe?

 

[assasinn]

Save it and never use it. Then I shall win one from the lottery, and never use them ever, as they are obsolete! Quick Balls FTW!

Agreed! I've caught most of my legendary Poke's with quick balls.

 

[Flareen]

I've got two right now and don't really know what to do with them... @.@
There's only one roaming Pokémon in B/W right? I suppose I'll use one on that and.. the other... idk D: save it.. trade it.... bank it forever.. D:

 

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

In Platinum: I saved one and imported three of them over from one of my GBA games (likely Leaf Green) to catch the legendary Kanto birds that roam. I still have one left for an emergency capture if I should need it.

In Soul Silver: Never used it. Caught the roaming legendaries with Dusk or Quick Balls.

 

[Kikaito plush]

Pearl: used it on Mesprit
Daimond: used it on a shiny sneasel
Heartgold: used it on Enti
Soulsilver: haven't used yet

I used to use my Master Ball on the likes of Lugia, Dialga, and Giratina, but I later started to save it for those who were running wild around the region. Now, I barely even go to use it, because I rather weaken the running Pokémon, and keep locating it and trying to capture it with the likes of an Ultra Ball or something that will be more effective.

I'd probably use the Master Ball on say a shiny legendary or a shiny running legendary. Other than that, if I have the possibility of catching it with something else and can save my Master Ball, I'd do it.
