What did you waste your first master ball on?

[Tom Bombadildo]

I think the very first time I ever used a Master Ball was on Pokemon Yellow in Cerulean Cave. I had no idea Mewtwo was a thing at the time, and just thought the cave lead to some new town or area or something. Eventually I came across a Lickitung, and I knew from playing Red and Blue (which I always stopped playing after the Elite 4 so I never bothered with Cerulean Cave) that Lickitung could only be gotten through trades. I thought it was a super rare encounter, so I chucked the Master Ball at it lol. After that I did end up finding Mewtwo, and just got him down really low and paralyzed and chucked Ultra balls at him until I got it. I think I reset my game at least a few dozen times before I finally managed to get him, since I only had like 10 or 15 Ultra balls on me.

Nowadays I usually use my Master Ball on the "main" legendary of the game, like Ho-Oh or Lugia and stuff like that since I can't be bothered usually to actually battle them and waste time chucking balls at them.

Shiny Ekans on Soul Silver

Haven't used Masterballs yet. BOOOM! LIKE A BOSS

 

[blindseer]

Honestly I don't remember, gonna go with Mewtwo(Red) but I cant be sure.

 

[Minox]

Used mine on Articuno in Pokemon Red.

Some legendary...a literal waste. Legendaries are pointless. I know that now. I think it was ho oh in gold.

In yellow... i have no idea, went to catch mewtwo and i didnt have it, it had just gone.
played o.ruby the other day, had a fight with groudon, caught with a pokeball. gotta save that masterball forever yo.

When I played through Pokemon Silver, I knew jack shit. Heck, it took me months to figure out that HM moves like HM Cut can be used outside of battles.

I think if I remember correctly, I caught a Pidgey with the Master Ball. Yep.

The very first master ball I used was on Pokemon XD. that last battle is a fucking nightmare so I just said "fuck this shit, I don't want to start over for the XXX time"

Spoiler

Greevil throws at you:
- Shadow Moltres
- Shadow Zapdos
- Shadow Articuno
- Shadow Tauros
- Shadow Rhydon
- Shadow Exeggutor
and after all those he throws Shadow Lugia. I snagged it with the master ball and the battle lasted 0 turns xdd.

 

[BORTZ]

Articuno cause I was a dumbass.

Also I didn't catch Zapdos that run because I was (again) a dumbass and didn't understand the concept of saving to be able to do an encounter again... Because I saved directly after I accidentally KOd him. I was retarded.

 

[guitarheroknight]

My first one was on a Moltres from Pokemon Yellow. What's sad is that I caught Mewtwo with a simple pokeball after freezing it with my Blastoise.

Imagine my mind blown catching the most powerful Pokemon with a single pokeball lol.

 

[Shulking]

I went into Ruby blind and used it on Groudon than I found Ryquaza and had to use a bunch of Ultra Balls.

 

[GalladeGuy]

Deoxys in ORAS. My 3DS was about to die and I didn't have time to sit there with my 40 ultra balls.

 

[Ridge]

Mewtwo in Pokémon Y. Or.. was it a waste? I'm not sure. At least the ball color matches!

 

[Swiftloke]

I don't think I've ever used a master ball. I only ever use Poke Balls because of the design. I have like 5 master balls now, which I know isn't that much, but they were all obtained by myself without trades. LOL

 

[porkiewpyne]

Still sitting in the bag.

 

[Exavold]

My first one was on a shiny magicarp , lol i freaked out back then.

 

[MajinCubyan]

I'd hardly call it a waste but it was Mewtwo in Blue version. I tried and tried but I couldn't get him cause i'd either kill him. run out of Ultra Balls or he'd kill himself with Struggle.

Haha, better get that shiny magikarp! How else will you ever get a shiny Gyrados?
