What did you waste your Masterball on?

[ffs-dontcare]

I kept my Masterball. Didn't ever need to use it. Even that Mewtwo fell before a paltry Ultraball despite being at nearly full health. Fun!

I saved it for Mewtwo.

Totally worth it.

My first playthrough I didn't even find the Master Ball, killed Kyogre, had a level 70something that when I got to the Elite Four and no other even remotely decent Pokémon. Restarted because it was such a fuck up.

I got a Skarmory in Silver like, maybe over 10 years ago? I was young and I liked Skarmory. I also caught Lugia though...I just don't remember how >_>

The first time playing I didn't really grasp what it was, so I used it on a Shellder. -__-

Now I hold on to my Masterballs and save them in case I find a shiny Pokemon.

I have a whole bunch of them because I never liked using them, using them felt like such a waste so I traded them across games. The roaming ones were kinda worth it (Entie, Suicine, Riakou, Latios, Latias, Cressellia, Tornadus, Thunderus etc.)

Although I did once meet a guy who thought the whole purpose of the game was to exhaust an area of pokemon - a kinda literal Gotta catch em all. And progressed through the game but always heading back to to Veridian forest trying to catch EVERY pokemon in the area until no more would appear. I think he used the Masterball on a Weedle

Did it work for him?

Can you imagine how upset you would be if it didn't!

"The masterball failed to catch the wild Weedle"

In Red/Blue....everything I missed. Cause I cheated.
Though if I did not, likely Mewtwo.
In Gold/Silver/Crystal, a legendary dog, usually Suicine, due to them roving around. Catching Ho-oh and Lugia is hard...but atleast they stay in one spot.
Never used it in Gen 3 (Ruby/Saphire/Emerald) yet though, but likely either Rayquaza (Emerald) or one of the two poster pokemon.
Or maybe a tough shiney.
