What do you typically use your Master Ball on?

This can be in any game, but for what Pokemon in all games would you usually use your Master Ball for?

For me it was Mewtwo in the original series, I would clone it in Gold and Silver so it wasn't an issue XD. The version Lati@s in Ruby/Sapphire, can't remember Emerald, Diamond and Pearl was I think Giratina (managed to get Mesprit and Cresselia normally XD), can't remember Platinum either.

And in White, I actually used it for Volcarona in Relic Castle. Though it is my favourite Pokemon along with Vanilluxe. Caught the three musketeers and Zekrom without it. One day I intend to use a team of my starter, Zekrom, Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion and some other random Pokemon purely for the purpose of taking on Team Plasma, as these Pokemon for me represent the opposite ideas.

I usually use them on the roamers since they require more startegy and time. I once used one on a ditto (out of frustration) back in the Gold and Silver days. Lol.

Whichever is the biggest b*tch to catch. Or is the Pokemon I care most about getting an amazing nature and IV's on.

R/B/Y: Mewtwo (obviously ...?)
G/S/C: One of the runners.
R/S/E: Lati@s.
D/P/Pt: Mesprit.
HG/SS: Groudon.

I usually don't use it because I don't like the design. It just irks me in a weird way. I also like to keep it as a collector's item.

I used mine in Black, though, on the roamer since it's possible to get two by trading with 50 people and talking to the man in Castelia's PokeCenter.

Roamers. Or a legendary that needs a certain hidden power. Usually roamers though.

Gen 1: Mewtwo
Gen 2: Whichever roamer I find first.
Gen 3: Lati@s
Gen 4: Cresselia
Gen 5: Currently attempting good natured Thundurus.

Main legends just to progress the story quicker.

Lots more to learn
Well, I would either use them on those that will run at the sight of seeing you, the roamers or keep it since I will certainly have a pokemon with mean look that can stop the roamers from fleeing. That's what I do.

I'm probably gonna save my master ball in B&W for Genesect or Kyurem since there will be no field legendaries, thank goodness.

I never actually use them and watch them slowly accumulate in my Platinum instead. However, I will more than likely use them if I see a shiny Pokemon that is legendary or can escape the battle (ie. Abra with Teleport, Sigilyph with Whirlwind...). ♥

On my own here we go
Gen 1: Mewtwo
Gen 2: Ho-oh/Lugia (The Level 70 Post Champion one)
Gen 3: Rayquaza (I dont own Ruby or Sapphire) (I like the challenge of catching the roamers fairly)
Gen 4: Giratina/Arceus (Arceus only when I see my friend because sometimes he hacks stuff into my game without me knowing as a sort of weird gift)
Gen 5: I plan to use it on the Main Legend or my favorite Legend.
 
Whichever legend I like the most and plan on using. (checking IV's)

burning it down
In Diamond I used it on Dialga (I was a n00b, okay!). But apart from that, I've never used my Master Ball on any other games. I think I'm too scared to use it in case I want it again and I don't have one :p
 
Usually i save mines for a difficult catch or a risky shiny.

I used to use it on the game mascot :p Back when i didn't care about shinies or IVs or things like that.

Roaming Legendaries.

I've used it so far on Latias, Cresselia, Entei, and Thundurus, although I did use a Master Ball on Groudon since I was underleveled when I faced it and didn't want to bother training.
