What did you waste your first master ball on?

[KingBlank]

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 used a quickball on him, one turn catches ftw.

And I caught ol Gordon with mine...

Zapdos Pokemon red 1998

When i was a 16 or so, i caught a Hypno in fire red using a masterball because i thought i can hypnotize any pokemon and it will become my slave. Sadly that wasn't true

Moltres, way back in the day when Pokemon Red was still new-ish. I got to Mewtwo later on during the endgame and kicked myself

 

[The Catboy]

I only used it on Mewtwo because everyone told me to not use it on anything other than Mewtwo. Playthroughs after that I cloned them before using them, using Missingno.

Nice one, if you are in the Pokemon universe you can just use a mirror, I believe. But you might get hypnotized before you can throw your balls. But why would you enslave any wild creature you see which is the point of Pokemon.

It happened on Pokemon: Fire Red and I was like 8 or 9 years old and I used it on a level 2 Pidgey.

But seriously how did you get master ball when on route 2. Also if it was after some walkthrough was it with perfect iv?

I was pretty young and thought that I could buy another one in the PokeMart but I was sadly wrong.

I feel like no one here really "wasted" their masterball. I mean if you caught a pokemon then the ball worked as intended.

And then I enter the thread.

1998. Pokemon Red. Just got the masterball. Literally minutes later I challenge Sabrina. The masterball description read - "Catch ANY pokemon with 100% accuracy"

So I used it on Alakazam.

She of course swatted the ball away and called me a cheater. I hadn't saved in a couple hours. The masterball was lost forever.

I was 7 years old and took the wording too literally. I've never used a masterball since just because I was scarred so badly.

I've never really wasted it on anything. I guess my first time was on ho oh in gold or something. Since then I always save it or use it on a fitting Pokemon, deserving to be inside a master ball, like mewtwo or Lugia or rayquaza. I don't have trouble catching even roaming legendaries so I just use it for aesthetic purposes.

 

[Jao Chu]

I catch everything in master balls, because, well i have a PowerSaves lel.

 

[TLOZmaster]

I tried using it on a trainers pokemon. Did not catch it with 100% accuracy.

 

[jDSX]

On latios in ruby because he was that freaking hard to capture since he runs away a lot.

 

[grossaffe]

Fucking Doduo in Pokemon Blue. I had run out of all my other pokeballs, and it seemed like a good idea at the time.

 

[link491]

First playthrough of Pokemon Blue, I used mine on a Zapdos... What can I say? I was like 8 and didn't know how the legendary catching mechanics worked in those games.

 

[Flame]

all my time as a pokemon trainer ive used masterball once..

and that was a shiny mewtwo in HG...


i rarely use it cause in case i come a cross a super rare which can run or faint easily.

 

[amoulton]

Lapras -.-

 

[Lycan911]

Mewtwo in Pokémon Blue, I think.
