What did you waste your first master ball on?

[Yil]

During my first red (gb) play through I wasted it on a ditto. Legendaries are so easy to catch back then.

On a MewTwo on Pokémon X.
I've played every single Pokémon game and beaten almost all of them, but never used the master ball.

I "wasted" my first one on Zekrom, I'm pretty sure.

I'm not sure. Either Mewtwo in Yellow or Rayquaza in Ruby or Emerald. Since then I make it a point to not use a Master Ball, but I've gotten multiple ones on OR through trade requests, so I can always use them.

Lugia on Silver. Back then, I was like "wooooow, a legendary Pokemon!!!!", and since I was so afraid of killing it, I used my Master Ball on the first turn.
Aside from that game, I never really used the Master Ball. I prefer the Pokeball / Hyper ball / Dusk ball / Luxury Ball designs

Mewtwo in Pokemon Red.

Then, when the god damn roaming Pokemon came around, I always saved the Master Ball for those bastards.
Those guys shouldn't exist. -,-

Kyogre on Sapphire, GBA.

Mine was Mewtwo on Pokèmon Y. Now I just save them for roaming legendaries or a shiny Pokemon that can flee because with legendaries that appear in the over world you can save in front of them and keep soft resetting.

either lv45 kyogre on sapphire, or lv70 mewtwo on leafgreen

 

[raystriker]

Groudon in Pokemon Ruby.
I was still a kid and got overexcited.
Never used a masterball early on ever. Usually use it for the last legendary of the game.

Lvl. 2 Rattata on Route 1.

rby legendaries catch rates were just as lousy as they are today.
most new legendaries however get pretty friendly rates. so catching yveltal or xerneas is actually easy. and we got stronger balls too.

as for the question, like most people playing without guides and people to tell me about mewtwo, i used it on the first bird i ran across, molteress.

 

[intermet]

Latias in Sapphir !

 

[ShadowOne333]

we got stronger balls too.

That mostly.

 

[Thesolcity]

Ursaring in G/S, right outside Mt.Silver. I was stupid and thought I could get more like in R/B.

 

[PF2M]

When I was young and playing Pokemon FireRed, I was convinced that Moltres, Articuno, and Zapdos were the only legendaries in the game.
Despite the fact that I knew what Mewtwo was, I still used my master ball on those three exclusively.
On one run, I remember catching all three of them without a master ball, and celebrating by catching a Pidgey with it.

Another stupid thing: I was deathly afraid of Mewtwo because I misheard what one of my friends said as "he will be on cinnibar island at level 1000". I remember getting my Charizard to level 80 using only the VS recorder and Route 13 before resetting my game with my OP pokemon why!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I eventually figured out he was talking about something else in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness instead of FireRed. Drat.

 

[HaloEffect17]

Lvl. 2 Rattata on Route 1.

I'm sure that was worth it.

 

[mbcrazed]

I used a master ball only once.. Just to catch a shiny zubat in Pokemon Gold! XD

 

[Coleman_C18]

In pokemon yellow I actually used it on a dodou on cycling road, had no idea I couldn't buy more

 

[VinsCool]

I wasted 128 master balls in Pokémon Blue

No seriously, my first Master Ball waste was on Lugia in Pokémon Gold.
Ho-oh was cought with a Timer Ball. I actually cought Ho-oh again In Heartgold using the same ball lol.
