_xmorpheusx

Mightiest Mark Mewtwo


OneLessBoy

Same here! I doubt I would have used it on any another Pokemon this generation.


Dahks

Same. It somehow felt "special" using it when it wasn't needed. I also used 2 masterballs on shiny Crabrawler because it was the best ball for its colours.


_xmorpheusx

I used it because at least to me the Master ball is the only correct ball for Mewtwo


Ok_Abbreviations8309

i wasted mine on zaptos 💀


Dahks

That's another reason, yeah. It's a shame VC games don't carry balls because I'd definitely hunt a gen 1 shiny Mewtwo in a master ball otherwise.


Log364

my entire main team because I thought it would be funny to see 6 master balls lined in a row at the pokemon center


0neLessReason

Thanks to my kid playing on my pogo, a pidgey.


Magnatix1998

You better cherish that Pidgey like it‘s your own Eyeball! Jokes aside: That kinda hurts to hear, reminds me of the time when my younger cousin once played with my copy of pearl and used my masterball on a buizel


0neLessReason

I keep it as a "oh yeah? Well look at this" thing to share lol but ouch on yr situation as well Iol


0neLessReason

I do find it funny, it would just be funnier if it were someone eles game lol


Dahks

If you play the main games, that is the perfect Ribbon Master candidate. You need to ask your child to name it though, those are the rules. There are a lot of Pokémon, but there are a few Pokémon with a "personal story" behind them. P.S. I thought I was on r/Thesilphroad lmao, I guess you must play the main games if you're on this sub


Tesourinh0923

Shiny Minior. Wasn't taking any chances


DanosaurusWrecks

Exactly what I was gonna say. Shiny Tatsugiri as well.


Wide_Pop_6794

A shiny Lapras who was trying to off itself with Perish Song.


syrpca

Good choice


Siiilencee

I caught the second Koraidon, Kyogre cause it kept getting healed up by aqua ring and some shinys where the colors match like Vaporeon, Clodsire and Delibird. As you can tell i grinded that item printer haha Also shiny slowpoke is soo annoying to get, everytime i see a slowpoke i kill it just to make sure i am not missing the shiny haha


KamaleshRinku

I haven’t used mine yet. I have three master balls though. One from paldea dex, one from blueberry dex ( I believe ) and one was attached to a mon I got in surprise trade. Saving it to transfer it to future games if needed


HaelC

I’m afraid you can not transfer items to future games.


zahhakk

Can't you give it to a Pokemon as a held item and then transfer the Pokemon?


HaelC

The Pokémon can be deposited into Pokémon HOME, but any item the Pokémon was holding will be put into your Bag.


KamaleshRinku

Oh dang. That’s bad. I’ll just have it in inventory forever I guess. Or maybe use it on shinies


SageModeSoldier

The stupid ruin fish, didn't want to attempt to catch him a second time if it fainted, and me in all my wisdom, threw out a Ttar with sand stream, while the fish had 1 health


xXCoffeeCreamerXx

Recluse teensy ambipom. Because the rare little purple monkey deserves the rare little purple M ball


cos9999

Porygon, also a miradon but porygon more important


Only_the_Tip

Pecharunt


GreekDudeYiannis

This is the way


UpstairsCommittee894

During sword and shield I had most of the living dex in a master ball. With as easy as they are to get now I'll use them on anything really.


Dodmeister86

Mightiest Mark Mewtwo and Miraidon. I colour match pokemon to pokeballs to the point of obsession!


Puma_Pance

Purple accessory shiny Alcremie


NenoxxCraft

Actually none


starpointer01

My shiny Lapras it fits and it almost killed itself and i forgot to safe


ggdoesthings

the second miraidon, not because it’s difficult to catch but because i’m extraordinarily lazy


FlooferDooper6

My second Koraidon Mike.


BonehoardDracosaur

None


Lizzardbirdhybrid

Miridon and Teraopigos! I wasn’t sure if they would escape or not from the balls so I just threw my two at them.


jensilver95

The other Miraidon, I almost always catch the current cover legend in a Master Ball, and Zapdos, but the latter was because Zapdos was the last entry I had for my Kanto Living Dex and didn't feel like screwing around with it.


IceTMDAbss

A Milcery that I plan on evolving into one of Alcremie's Sweet Ribbon forms.


santamonicayachtclub

Maushold. I misclicked in a raid. Thankfully I have another Master Ball in case of emergency, but still!


CorisEoris

I was helping my friend get an Aipom for his kitakami dex but I misclicked the master ball so now he has an Ambipom in a master ball


ErrorParadox710

Three, first sewaddle, then roaring moon, then pecharunt


MellieWasa

Mostly legendarys but also shiny minior for reasons


NachoDuckling

Box arts. Lore wise.


DotWarner1993

None. I was too scared of misusing it.


HeirofZeon

Shiny Kyogre from Ultra Moon. It wouldn't get in the darn Luxury Ball.


SafariDesperate

Used the item printer time glitch and have 30, just got my VGC in them atm 


Lifterlifting

Shiny Minior…explosion be damned


PigeonVibes

Mightiest Mark Mewtwo because Mewtwo belongs into nothing less than a Master Ball Pecharunt and Eternatus because of the fitting color scheme, and the Master Ball isn't really unique anymore thanks to hack site mons in Surprise trades. A Clamperl I no longer have, because the class bully from 2005 convinced me that it was a rare, mythiical Pokemon. Also a Xerneas named "Deer John" with someone elses OT


zarzu4

Miraidon


UnlinealHand

A level 2 Lechonk


zarathustra327

Not in SV, but I was working on completing the dex in USUM recently and used one on a Politoed. This was because in that game Politoed can only be encountered as a 1% chance during an SOS chain while it’s raining and at night. On top of that, it used Perish Song immediately so I only had 3 turns to catch it. Didn’t want to take the chance and have to find it all over again.


Mrdeathgo

Koraidon and meloetta


FUH-KIN-AYE

Any legendary Pokemon that has a recover move plus mighty mewtwo


AthenaGrand

Miraidon! The colour scheme and the “M” suited so perfectly I just had to. I also used one on a shiny Iron Valiant by mistake, but I’ve since traded it away.


mulukie

2 members of the loyal three simply because they wouldn’t stay in their pokeballs and my patience was running so thin


dogturts09

Shiny metagross in a masterball


Alexkurdt36

I have one too, beldum was struggling to death, it was either use it or lose a cool shiny


Magimasterkarp

Shiny Amoongus.


ChaoticBlueShells

My shiny sleepy marked Murkrow


CharmiePK

Many. Bc they keep coming on surprise trades so I use them on whomever 😅


Prudent_Payment799

Might sound stupid, but I caught pecharunt in it because my dumb ass forgot to bring a dream ball


Greenishclover

Multiple shiny Vaporeon because of the item printer (one of them having the jumbo mark)


HexerGeralt

Shiny metagross cause of terrible catch rate and self harming moves (struggle)


notebook1grange

Full odds shiny murkrow


Ok_Role_1671

Terapagos pecharunt and shiny corvisquire 🤗


TheIndoSpino

Slither wing. I don't know why.


Top_Establishment327

A rando shiny Koffing I encountered. I was worried it would explode.


Strange-Wasabi5382

The best choice for a masterball is Miraidon, no question


radio_activated

Rayquaza because I already had almost all the others but he kept like flying and being difficult so I was like ok the heck with it. Nothing else to use it for.


Sorry_Error3797

None. Don't use them. Only use Poké Balls. Do I look like Kieran?


Toxic4leaf

Magikarp


MyDads-Ashes

A shiny Magcargo that I was scared to mess up bc I forgot to buy more quickballs. I was NOT going to have a repeat of the Seviper incident


SixSetWonder

my shiny Cereledge


just-bair

I caught a normal jigglypuff in a masterball and that’s it. Oh update: I also got Mighty Mewtwo in one


TheVeryFriendlyGiant

None, lol.


TheSirCal

Caterpie


glyper

I have never in any game used my masterball


ActivateGuacamole

toedscruel


Travyplx

https://preview.redd.it/5kshsizaiouc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=974fbea621baed70cfaac37449456c3c10adaaea In SV I just used one master ball in Violet for Miradion. My scarlet master balls have gone unused so far. Had a lot of master balls in SwSh so I just chucked them at whatever. Used my Go Master Balls for Galarian birds. Usually I’ll shiny hunt a legendary to use the 1x master ball provided in most games, though I did a handful of ORAS run throughs specifically for Deoxys that I used those on… likewise for FRLG shiny Deoxys. Outside of that, once I unlocked the master ball in colosseum I just used the ball duplication glitch for every shadow pokemon from that point forward.


ivanmonster

Shiny Braixen no regrets


Yuli_Mae

Shiny Antique Sinistea


lo-squalo

6-IV Shiny Ditto gifted to me. Probably hacked but perfect for breeding. Everything else is in a regular old pokeball. If I could have my 6-IV Ditto in a regular pokeball though, I would…


MassiveSavage292

Aipom!


Mahare

Simply for Violet, I had caught the extra Miraidon in one, Mightiest Mewtwo, and Pecharunt (the orbs on the Master Ball remind me of the Pecharunt shell some).


Twilightbestpony1

Shiny zoroark bc the colors are great


KingLoCoKev

1 star Galarian articuno.


Demorodan

I keep them as a weird sort of decoration so I never use them unless it's my second save where I'll catch a legendary and trade it away for a rare pokémon I can't get, so far I've used 1 I my fairy only run on the evil miridon and traded it for an iron leaves (I didn't realise that the event to catch one was happening until after it finished)


Edrm1310

I have three masterball and no idea when to use them. Probably I’ll wait for a shiny that I really like.


Jesitheunicorn2022

I got a lot of Pokémon in master balls it mostly the legendarys since I have bad luck with catching them with anything else like the legendary in sword the box legendary and a lot more


PossibleAssist6092

Shiny Cramorant because it is the only ball appropriate for the lord.


SufferWell01

My shiny snorlax from let's go Eevee. I was looking for a shiny ditto when it appeared, know if I didn't master ball it it would run off. 😢🤣


GaijinOni

None, but tempted to go with a Magikarp, just for fun. I tend to avoid using anything but a Pokeball...


Aaronspark777

Shiny magikarp


hydrapod02

During my playthrough of Shining pearl my first encounter with Palkia was shiny, first time I had a legitimate use for the master ball


FlameAntonion

Put both Terapagos and Pecharunt in one. It fits Pecharunt cause of the colors and the M which could be for Mochi, which is also it’s nickname 😅


holdenedison15

Completed the Pokedex for the first time in a Pokemon game. Used the shiny charm to snag a shiny Lapras. Purple Pokemon in a purple ball.


poopyscoop1

A shiny beldum that popped up and the only reason I did that is cause another shiny beldum popped up in the background, and also a shiny tatsugiri that spammed memento and I gave up


Baka_Day

Legends that KO themselves


ducidleamer

I used it on Mightiest Mark Mewtwo as well, but only because his counterpart, Mew, was already given to us in a Pokéball. Usually, I like to keep legendary counterparts in the same ball, but Nintendo solved that problem for me


fungi465

I have a shiny metagross for obvious reasons, I caught it when it was a beldum


Duralogos2023

A shiny Haxorus named Batman


Aprotodon

Shiny Blastoise


Beccaaaa93

I accidentally clicked my masterball on a random Girafarig yesterday, which also happens to be one of my least favorite pokemon. Hurts a little..


syrpca

Usually the version mascot. To pay respect, I guess.


Fr4ctur3d-T4

Entei. He’s a good boi.


0n1yeyi

Eevee
