Did you use the Master Ball?

[HardRojo]

Yeah, on Mewtwo. Then some legendary in one of the later games because I wanted to get the right nature. You should really be able to retrain a Pokemon's nature. Nature RNG (and EV training) is one of my least favorite aspects of the series.

Click to shrink...

Yeah it sucks, fortunately GF has been making things easier with each entry and it seems that trend will continue.

Used it always on the hardest and/or most annoying legendary to catch. That's what it's there for haha. Dealing with one less legendary dog running from my face every time I see it is worth any price.

The poll options aren't perfect for the thread title. I used it back in the day when I didn't know any better -- I haven't used it lately. Given that the thread title is did you... yes, I did.

In gen 1 I used the pokeball while holding down + A. The internet told me it would work when I was a kid. ;(

My first use was on a Rhyhorn in Pokémon Silver. When I played Blue I used it on Mewtwo. Everything else, I couldn't tell you. I know I used them a few more times, and now I'm a hoarder, but I don't remember what they were used on.

 

[Busaiku]

As a kid I used it on like a Pidgey.
Now I hoard it.

I duped it and use it to catch glitched pokemon off of Cinnabar island.

 

[Pangorogoro]

I save my master ball for the off chance I run into an exploding/self-destruct shiny again

I usually used it on Mewtwo (Pokémon Yellow). Once I was trying to play hardmode, which isn't really an option. But my rules were to only play with Pikachu, except where I had to use other pokémons for HM moves, and only pokéballs.

So I'm faceing mewtwo. After a lot of tries I got him with a regular pokéball. Greatest gaming achievement ever.

 

[Filipus]

Yes to capture freaking Raikou on pokemon Crystal. Those stupid things kept running away and I was pretty mad, no regrets.

 

[SweetVermouth]

Yes, used it on a caterpie

 

[Deleted member 42637]

Usually not but I once used it on a shiny Graveler that knew Selfdestruct

 

[FunMouse]

I used it on Gen 1 only. Since then I haven't. It just feels wrong to me if I use it lol.

 

[i hate cheaters]

the younger i was, the more likely i was to use it instead of saving it for never

maybe kid me was the smarter one

 

[Deleted member 1849]

If we are talking the older games, I duplicated that shit.

Since then, yeah I used it. On whatever legendary was proving to be a nightmare.
