  • I caught zekrom with my master ball, Kyurem Got burned by my volcorona's flame body luckily and was knocked down to yellow health when I threw an ultra ball and caught on my third try. Speaking of volcarona I got it from the relic castle when I was plasma sage hunting. Was strongest pokemon at the time but is now topped by my hydreigon.

    I havn't gotten around to those deer/beast looking legendary trio yet but I have cleared my way to the one in mistralton cave when I realized I didn't have any pokeballs left so I had to use dig and thaught I'd come back at some point to catch it.

  • Master balls are for noobs who can't earn their catches =P. I used it because I was lazy and knew my best friend had an action replay he used for unlimited master balls on his platnum. If I'm ever in THAT much frustration I can see him but:

    status ailment move + damage move(s) + ultra balls = good enough.

  • Not on Kyurem . It can be caught with a dusk ball . Use it on the roaming legends . For Black it is Tornadus and for White it is Thundurus

  • I have all the legendaries except Thundurus and the ones that haven't been acknowleged by Nintendo yet (i.e. Keldeo, Meloetta, and Genesect), as well as the lv. 70 Volcarona, and I still haven't used my Master Ball.

    I haven't seen any need to use the Mater Ball in Black - most of the Legendary Pokémon are easy to catch. I'll just save mine.

    I haven't used mine yet, I really haven't saw a need for me to actually put it to any use.

  • You might face-palm yourself after reading this, but Zekrom and Reshiram have the same catch rate as Deino. I caught them each with a normal Poke Ball, and they didn't even have status ailments.
    Deino is not the only pokemon with same catch rate... many, MANY pokemon have same or lower catch rate (45, or 5.9 percent chance of catching them with regular pokeball with full health, no stauts) than the yin yang duo. Then you only need average of 4-5 soft resets to catch either of them in a quick ball in first turn (therefore acting like a master ball).

    Spoiler:

    To answer the original question, I still didn't use either of my masterballs. I'm planning on catching a tornadus (I have black version), or shiny that I can't lower its HP without making it faint.

  • I don't usually use my masterball, I tend to catch legendaries with other pokeballs.
    But I actually do use my master ball if I know that I will restart the game soon.
