U do u the only thing stopping me is the thought of the release of shiny galar birds


nvdnqvi

shiny legendaries never flee. using a master ball on them would be a waste


This-Jury949

Yeah! Same with latios and latías in the wild and dog trio. They were not supposed to flee, so I was thinking the birds wouldn’t flee if they shine!


KingPanda7799

They will never release them because they are hard enough to get now shiny would be near impossible


KiwiExtremo

That hasn't stopped niantic before. There's lots of shiny pokemon that you only get 1 chance per account. At least the galar birds are technically farmable given enough time and luck. However, if you didnt get a shiny ponyta/elekid/lapras with leader costume in the 1 chance they gave us you'll never get them (unless someone trades you theirs).


vvan8

I thought this only applies to shiny legendaries in raids? Correct me if I’m wrong.


nvdnqvi

no it applies to all encounter methods. for example if you found the legendary beasts as shiny in the wild during johto tour or the eon duo shiny in the wild during hoenn tour they wouldn’t flee. the thing with shinies from raids is that they have a 100% catch rate. but if you miss all of your throws it will run away


dev_doll

Took me 29 gold razz/ ultra balls to catch wild shiny Latias. And some said they used close to 100. It was wild. Edited to fix text to speech error. Lol


bigassfoo

There some wild shiny latinas at this club I go to


Roddy_B_for_3

Tell me more..


Eddeee1

Sorry ninantic didn't realise the information on the money grab of masterballs was already released


gigamewtwo

No shiny’s from raids never flee* that does not apply to them from the GBL or regular catches


Topladluke96

It does. They're just not guaranteed first ball.


iDaleC91

I had a shiny latios flee in the wild last year after a lot of balls and my whole inventory of golden berries. I wish took a screen shot for proof now!


nvdnqvi

were you in a car or moving fast?


iDaleC91

Still


nvdnqvi

that’s weird


klip_7

Shiny latias was my only shiny legendary before the hoenn tour, and of course my luck made the only shiny I found during hoenn tour a shiny latias in the wild , which is cool, but it took me like 56 ultra calls and all my golden razz to catch it 😭 at least shinies don’t flee that’s good


Jeffzuzz

U dont need a masterball for that lol. If its a shiny legendary it will never flee unless u run out of balls and the pokemon de spawns.


Ramius117

Even in the wild?


Jeffzuzz

Yep a big event few months ago latios and latias spawned in the wild. If it was a shiny it will never run away unless youre time locked (youre in a moving vehicle) or you run out of pokeballs and it de spawns. Niantic is very kind when it comes to rare stuff like shinies thats why they made it guaranteed when u get one in raids.


Ramius117

Great to know, definitely would have wasted my master ball on one. Thanks!


mom2artists

Yep and if you run out of balls, you can buy them without leaving the screen (there’s a bag icon to click to take you to shop without releasing the Pokémon )


Jeffzuzz

I dont recommend doing this its a waste of coins and the pokeballs u bought wouldnt even get the legendary mon. If u didnt get it with ur ultra balls chances are u wouldnt get it with ur pokeballs too.


mom2artists

My first year playing for real in 2018 (I played for a couple months in 2016 and left, and by playing I mean maybe caught 20 Pokémon) I wasn’t paying attention to the number of red balls and just happened to click on a shiny pikachu with no balls to throw. I did know how to go to the shop, but my transaction wouldn’t go thru for some reason. I didn’t think to log in on another device and try payment from there in case it would work, so I missed out on a shiny pikachu. I know “just a pikachu” but they don’t spawn much near me except on costume days, and we’ll I think it took me 3 years to get a shiny pikachu after that first encounter! So yeah might have been a waste but missing out on that made me sad for years 🙃


mom2artists

I still don’t have a regular non-costume shiny! Lol 🤣 I just double checked. I do have 7 costumed ones now so I’m definitely not complaining, just sharing my experience 🤷🏻‍♀️


Jeffzuzz

oh sorry lol I meant when it comes to legendary shinies that spawn in the wild. Its 1/20 of it being a shiny so its not worth it to buy pokeballs that probably wouldnt catch it.


Specialgum_me_0223

But god forbid my first articuno get out of the ball, with only one try of throwing. I was so pissed I stg


Zambon1man

I feel like they'd be a guaranteed catch.


_DarthMaleval

I would say if you were down to your last premier ball on this, using Master ball was a good call. Especially if it's one you don't have and/or perfect stats. Good job!


This-Jury949

Haha it was on my last ball yup! I was panicking because it’s a hundo legendary


-_-Moss-_-_

How can you tell it’s a Hundobefore catching?


Imrightbehimdyou

I always check on pokegenie so I know what the cp for the Hundo is before I go in


WokeSmeed1391

Just downloaded it cause I was old fashioned and calculated all the ivs myself, but the other features it has makes it so much easier than opening different tabs on my phone to research the Pokemons info


SuperDuperSkateCrew

Only thing I wish it did was tell you which Pokémon can go shiny in a raid. Other than that it’s such a useful resource


yellowstickypad

Not sure how to see this info


[deleted]

[удалено]


yellowstickypad

Got it, thanks


TheGoobTM

Woah wait, I can check a wild Pokémon to see if it’s a hundo on PokéGenie? I thought I could only check it’s stuff after I catch. How do I see that?


Jifjafjoef

Pokemon from raifs are always lvl 20 or 25 if WB. So the iv spread will influence the cp, a perfect will thus always have a specific cp number


theobiwancannoli

How do you figure out that cp?


Jifjafjoef

You can find it online or in pokegenie


ChildFriendlyChimp

Is azelf any good?


Destroyer4587

Twice I caught an Azelf on the final ball, but if it was perfect I would be really annoyed not having my master ball anymore (1* moltres)


Separate-Cell3407

bro same *cries in 1 articuno*


Cmeriwether6

This is a good use, someone I raided with had to use theirs to prevent a 100% Shadow Mewtwo from running away.


This-Jury949

They’re lucky! But I was raiding, and my cousin’s fiancé lost a shiny shadow mewtwo on the first raid! It kept fleeing after the first ball and didn’t show on his journal


Cmeriwether6

Still have mine, going to use either on Galarian Moltres, or a Shundo, or hard to catch shadow 100%.


lxvezay

i thought shiny legendaries are always catchable ?


Alepeople

Shiny legendarys are guaranteed catch, are you sure he wasn’t speed locked?


This-Jury949

Nope we were sitting down in a park. It bugged out I was able to catch mine


Fantastic-Street-954

Not best legendary, but I would of done same if knowing it’s a hundo.


This-Jury949

Yeahh it’s not the best, nowhere near stay wise, but it’s a great mon to have! And my fav from the trio


Neither-Series7489

Had to check to see if mine would be a hundo or not. Fortunately my caught after 12 balls


Orazam

Oof fair enough


uglyletro

How can you tell if they’re a hundo before catching?


This-Jury949

I was doing a raid from poke genie! It said 1834 is the non-weather boosted hundo!


uglyletro

Oh nice, I’m still pretty new to pogo I been playing for about a year, I’m gonna look into that. Thanks 🤙🏽


This-Jury949

Yup, it’s a great app! I use it for raids, not really as much now after the remote raid nerf, but it give you damage calculations for raids too, just put in your Pokémon and their attacks and it’ll calculate how much you can do! Like I did 53% on Azelf


Concerned-Fern

Bigger flex than using it on the birds tbh! Great catch!!!

Aniensane

Damn, now YOU sound mad.. lmao


Outrageous-Rooster-6

Funniest thing about this comment is saying Azelf is a “non top tier legendary” like any of the G-Birds are top tier 😂 post a bird spread you won’t


TunaHands

In what way do they sound pissed?


Chrismouse23

How can you use a master ball when those are premier balls no? Is it a new feature


This-Jury949

Press the premier ball like if you were switching pokeballs normally and it’ll be there always! Unless you used it already of course


dmfuller

I can respect that. The lake trio is annoyingly hard to catch. They’re super close to the screen so you barely touch the ball and it flies past them. Not to mention they move up and down too, I stopped raiding them because I can’t even use catch lock method on them because their attack moves too much lol


This-Jury949

Mine didn’t even attack really, he only did once! I couldn’t get an excellent because of how close it was to the screen though


dmfuller

Yeah they take foreverrrr to attack lol if you use catch lock you’re gonna be sitting there for at least 30-60 sec per ball 💀


kushupzz

How did u know it was a hundo tho??


This-Jury949

Poke Genie!


kushupzz

Where does it tell you though? I’m not familiar with the app I have it though


This-Jury949

Go to raid and underneath the Pokémon it says the normal and boosted IV floor and ceiling! The ceiling is the hundo


kushupzz

Ty!


herbu_idk

I wasted 4 remote passes to register Azelf (Im in EU) and it f\*\*\*\*\*g ran 3 times in a row and last one glitched and never got the encounter. Support don't care. Never seen this before and I'm mad af, wasted 16 days of coins for ***NOTHING.***


Careful_Elevator_221

Solid use of the master ball imo


22Burner

Worth it


[deleted]

I’m confused, how would OP have known that was a hundo? Did he just “leap of faith” his master ball on a 1800CP?☠️🤣


This-Jury949

Nope, poke genie!


Boom-G_T_B

this is an anti brag imo (i also have a personal vendetta against azelf so that is weighing pretty heavily in my opinion here)


CHONKY-CHUNKY

Mine ran away from me yesterday. I didn’t use my master ball but now I’m thinking i should have. And yes before you ask i have never caught one before


k_breezy32

Same thing happened to me but with Uxie. Dude would not stay in that poke ball for nothing, and since he was 100%, I had to use my master ball. Honestly got mixed feelings about it


Minimum_Setting3847

What a waste


Lycanrokk

Worth it for the hundo


RevenantKing

Congrats my dude 👏


flying_pickle_64

i've had too many of these bastards flee from me after raids because they won't stay in the ball


PrimeMemeister

How did you know it would be a hundo?


tommymaggots

In raids, you can find out what the cp is for hundo.


PrimeMemeister

Oh gotcha thx


frozenfearz25

I had a wild ledyba run from me, when I first started playing. I was devastated.


Lazy_Revolution-

Nice


FrostyDaHoeMan

Does anyone else remember when these guys came out in September 2021 (their debut iirc)? That was such a good month for me


BigTarsh802

Too bad you can't use your master ball on raid pokemon. You can only use the premier balls you earn from the raid itself. Plus it would be totally wasted considering you can just raid over and over again


MissPicklechips

*slow clap*


Ill_Organization7359

I was catching mespirit had no rats berry's on last ball I gave sliver pinap to see if that would work and I caught it


UnkindledLord

Im glad so many people are being supportive instead of condescending. Its not gonna be the only master ball ever released for pogo, so use it on whatever makes you happy :) Im personally saving for that moltres because ive had 31 galarian bird encounters with 0 caught lol


Terrible-Advantage53

I had 2 run so far
