What do you use your Master Balls on, if you didn't use it on the main legendary?

[Inconspicuosaurus]

I can't remember ever using a master ball on a legendary, I've got three at the moment on Diamond (one from fire red and one from emerald) that I'm saving for Shaymin, Darkrai and Arceus when the events finally come to Britain.

I never use masterballs on the main legendary I always use them on either the running or fleeing legendaries like latios or uxie or when I see a shiny pokemon

 

[Kites]

I used mine on a pikachu. =\

I have like 8 more though, off of wifi.

 

[turtle_chris]

I get all my masterballs of emerald or ruby I usually attach them onto pokemon in the pal park;munchlax;

 

[Profesco]

I play through every game at least ten times, and collect the better items to trade over to my main game, my 'base of operations.' Then I catch the Legendaries on only one or two games. So, I never run out of Master Balls.

 

[DieChavsDie]

Shiny Beldum.

Yup.

 

[MidnightStorm]

I'm saving mine for Arceus because it's going to be a PAIN to catch. Since I have three, I might save it if I find a shiny exploding Pokemon like Graveler.

I always get a Masterball in the lottery in every game, even on those of my friends, so now I have about 8 Masterballs left, WITHOUT restarting.

Things I used them on:
Yellow: Articuno and nothing.
Silver: Entei, Suicune.
FireRed: Mewtwo.
Emerald: Rayquaza, transferred 7.
Diamond: Dialga, Mesprit, Cresselia, Heatran, Regigigas, Giratina, Gible(I was so happy after 17 hours of searching, I just caught it and it appeared to have the right Nature and good IV's, so I trained it too!) and Rotom.

I used mine on Mesprit, which is other wise a Pain to get.

Well, supposing I caught some legendaries (those who don't run away) without using the Master Ball, I'd probably use it to a Legendary that often runs away. I already used my M. Ball to Cresselia in Diamond, so I might have a hard time catching Mesprit. x_X

Otherwise, if not a legendary, I'd probably use it to a shiny & rare Pokemon.

 

[Theneedleman]

I use my Masterballs on everything. Cloning is your friend in 3rd Gen/4th Gen. In the 1st Gen I accidentally used mine on a Weezing...Gold/Silver I always waited for the legendaries.

 

[Dither1]

use it on a pokemon that flees. I used mine on cresselia.

 

[Witchan]

I only use a Master Ball on a runaway pokemon like Mesprit, Cresselia, Raikou, Suicune, and Entei.

 

[SharpedoX]

I only use them, as most of you said, on running legendary, especially Crescelia. But now, in my new game I'm not going to use them. They just require a lot of patience and a well-trained Wobbuffet

 

[ResidentEcruteak]

I probably save the master ball for shaymin.

 

[PokeFreak001]

I hold it for a shiny i use ultra balls on legends but if i dont find a shiny i trade it to the next gen if i can or have a pokemon hold it in the box/storage games till I restart my game so i always have it for them

 

[Orihime]

@ResEcru:, shaymin is so easy to catch it isn't even funny
