The Ball that never fails



I may have used it for the roamers in G/S/C but I usually just never use it.

Save it for the off-chance I run into a high-risk shiny Pokemon (something with Explode/Self-Destruct, Roar/Whirlwind, Teleport, etc).

I don't play Pokmon but I'm sure there's a way to mod the game to have infinite master balls, no?

When I was a kid, I used it on MewTwo or an on-the-box legendary. Now I just save them as a trophy.

Back in the Red and Blue version there was an exploit to duplicate your items in your inventory. It was called the "Missingno" hack. I think you put the item to be duplicated in the 6th slot of your inventory and then you Surf up and down the east coast of Cinnabar Island until you encounter the glitchy Pokmon called Missingno. I think you either beat him or run away and your item will be duplicated. I forget the process.

Kids used to do this with Master Balls and Rare Candy.

I usually always keep it. The only time I ever used it is when I got the Raikou rare encounter in FireRed, and used it so he couldn't flee.

Use it on a roamer or to make resetting for a good nature and IV spread on a legendary I really like and don't have a good one yet. Haven't really been into pokemon much since X and Y. I have played the others but didn't get into it as much.

Legendaries with a chance to flee, usually

Or, if you're me as a kid, fuck up and use it on a Ponyta because you accidentally selected the wrong ball in the inventory.

In my first Pokmon game (emerald) I used it on a Sharpedo while fishing in Mossdeep, not fully realizing the significance of what I had just done

I almost never use them.

I did use a few of mine in Crown Tundra recently though, because I under-prepared for catching some of the Pokemon, and they ended up getting luckily and killing off my main capturing Pokemon. Throw in the hail and there were just some situations where if I didn't catch them, they'd die.

I suppose they could respawn and all, but I'm lazy. Besides I started Crown Tundra with nearly a dozen Master Balls I hadn't used in over 400 hours of play. I guess I was just saving them for Shinies I was unprepared for, but I realized it's a little silly to hold onto so many for so long, so I got a bit looser.
