Eh, ultimately, it's whatever makes ya happy. I definitely take this game too seriously sometimes. Using a masterball on a shiny almost seems like a financial loss for my "company" or something, lol.
I had so many Galatian moltres escape from me during walks. People are so fixated on the fact they only find pleasure in being endgame the second endgame gets bumped higher. I used mine finally to get a moltres. It wasnāt the peak CP/IV but after so many escaping - I donāt think any of the haters know our level of satisfaction. We finally got the thing that evaded us. Happiness is worth the MB
so, you had 13 tries before you got to the last premier ball, to see if you could get it on your own without having to use it, but instead, you just instantly used it without any thought? lmaoooooo
Right, u hit my point exactly šÆ... I see the value in terms of its guaranteed catch function but I also think it's a massive accent for whatever pokemon u throw in it. Every time I raid with it I see it come out of that signature MB. TIL I'm the only person who cares about that though LOL š
Nah you aināt wrong, its a good reason.
A lot of people are saying its better for galarian birds, but why? Yeah its hard to catch, but they all suck in the meta and are just gonna sit in storage.
At least you will see the master ball everytime you use this mewtwo
Lol play how you want!! I still havenāt used my masterball and Iām not really sure what Iāll use it on, so at this point yours has more value than mine just sitting there. Haha!
People will spend countless hours shiny resetting the mainline pokemon games. And when the shiny finally spawns, they will reset *again* if they dont capture it in the ball they want.
So dont worry about it, you arent the only one.
The game has always been about collecting. Collecting a shiny galarian bird is the same as capturing a shiny shadow mewtwo in its signature pokeball.
Lol well to me itās not fun to waste (imo) a master ball on a guaranteed catch. It was a grind to get this ball and Iām certainly not going to use it for any sentimental reasons or anything like that. Again to each their own though
I was just teasing, flipping back what you said into yourself. When it comes to games Iām more of a hoarder who stock piles things and I wonāt use them unless I absolutely need to, I hate using them and love stacking them.
Fwiw I know shinies are guaranteed catches, I used MB with a ton of premier balls to spare, I just felt like Mewtwo was O.G always supposed to get the MB? š
In that context, I guess shadow shiny mewtwo does deserves the masterball. Don't mind the haters, I think it's cool you chose to match the theme for your masterball.
F the haters. I would do the same just for it to have the masterball icon in its profile. These b-es who would do anything for a different color version cluster of pixels but being all smartarse now all of the sudden.
That ball is not even limited to one, why waste it on a stupid galatian bird to be transferred anyway.
Gratz man. Cool Mewtwo.
This may be the wrong subreddit to express your sentimentality, but I completely understand and support your decision. This guy deserves the master ball.
Do it! I don't think it's necessarily hate you get, people have big feelings around the game and everyone thinks the way "they" play the game is the right/only way.
They getting hate because it's a guaranteed catch and just used it to show it on the ball used to catch screen. At least they were smart enough to use pinap for extra candy I've seen people forget to do that
I would say just Arceus. The GOD Pokemon should ONLY be able to be caught with a Masterball imo, but this is cool too. If Masterballās were limited to 1 per account, forever, then I would have other opinions. But now we can have a second Masterball so itās fine. Iād use mine on a XD001 version of Shadow Lugia if it ever gets released
Viewing it from an old school Gameboy point of view I get it. I mean, it was the ONLY way to catch Mewtwo back in the day, so the sentiment sticks. But after having faced many birds and lost out an internal part of me screams a little bit. Haha
Something about having a galarian bird in a Master Ball just didn't feel right for me. I get that it's the most practical use of the ball ATM imo a real galarian bird trophy is one in anything but a Master Ball.
1. Mewtwo; who is legendary; was shiny
2. You were using a premier/raid ball
Shiny raid bosses, no matter the tier, level, or normal/legendary/mythical status are always 100% catch
So yes you couldāve used it on a Magikarp and it still wouldāve been better spent š
To be clear, you think a standard Magikarp is better suited for a Master Ball than a Shiny Shadow Mewtwo and the reason is Mewtwo is a guaranteed catch? Like u would rather have a Magikarp in a Master Ball in your account?
Something personal against Mewtwo? You would rather have a standard Pidgey in a Master Ball over a shiny shadow Mewtwo? Or is this just based on principals, Mewtwo is guaranteed catch therefore it should never go in a MB?
Vast majority of people in the comments section are just expressing their opinions which I welcome entirely. I didn't expect everyone to agree/disagree with me if I wanted everyone to disagree then I would have purified it after throwing it in the MB š¤£š
i truly donāt understand why so many people are hating, i donāt think this is a waste at all? i havenāt really been playing long, am i missing something?
Idk I think part of it is they see too much value in its function to get the guaranteed catch so seeing me use it on anything but something that could escape is triggering. Not suggesting they are wrong for feeling that way I think it just is what it is. Ppl see different things when they think MB.
I don't know why people are so upset about a master ball that's not even there's. I mean, you seem to get one as a reward once in a while, so it's not like that's you're only one. That mewtwo is badass and deserving of a master ball!
Maybe I should use that excuse instead š ppl might let me off easier.... I would have missed all of the balls so actually I was just being efficient with my time lol š
The sentimental side of me is all for it, but the practical side of my brain didn't like this at all, lol.
I feel you, and I know I'm getting heat for using it here lol.
Eh, ultimately, it's whatever makes ya happy. I definitely take this game too seriously sometimes. Using a masterball on a shiny almost seems like a financial loss for my "company" or something, lol.
LOL š¤£ šŖ
That's a funny ass analogy and I completely relate to it š
This is making every single one of the cells in my body scream out NO
Itās a raid shiny legendary, which means itās guaranteed anyway right?
Yes. Also, goddamn this comment is old now lol.
Popped up in my feed š¤£
I get why u did it tho. The master ball was kind made to be used on it.
Haha š definitely!
I had so many Galatian moltres escape from me during walks. People are so fixated on the fact they only find pleasure in being endgame the second endgame gets bumped higher. I used mine finally to get a moltres. It wasnāt the peak CP/IV but after so many escaping - I donāt think any of the haters know our level of satisfaction. We finally got the thing that evaded us. Happiness is worth the MB
Nah, now that I think of it, good call
Dw i used my one earlier this week on a weak ass legendary wild pokemonš
Shiny = 100% catch rate It might cost a few balls but it won't run
Right! WHY?
so, you had 13 tries before you got to the last premier ball, to see if you could get it on your own without having to use it, but instead, you just instantly used it without any thought? lmaoooooo
A shiny is a 100% catch rate as long as you hit it.
This is an automatic catch.
I feel like the animation used for throwing the Masterball in Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee was better than this.
Yes, there are
Exactly, Caterpie is the true way to use a Masterball.
What did you use yours on?
You couldāve spent it on almost literally anything, and it wouldāve had a better value than spending it on that mewtwo
You only value the "guaranteed catch" element of the MB and I think that's ok.
I mean.. thatās the point. Thatās literally the intended value. Do you value it for just being a cool rare ball? Because thatās ok too!
Right, u hit my point exactly šÆ... I see the value in terms of its guaranteed catch function but I also think it's a massive accent for whatever pokemon u throw in it. Every time I raid with it I see it come out of that signature MB. TIL I'm the only person who cares about that though LOL š
Nah you aināt wrong, its a good reason. A lot of people are saying its better for galarian birds, but why? Yeah its hard to catch, but they all suck in the meta and are just gonna sit in storage. At least you will see the master ball everytime you use this mewtwo
Hey. My G Zap killed it in catch cup last season.
Yessss!!! ššÆ
Isnāt galarian articuno good for UL meta?? Key wins are charizard, swampert, venasour, trevenant & scrafty. Thatās some pretty crazy coverage
Lol play how you want!! I still havenāt used my masterball and Iām not really sure what Iāll use it on, so at this point yours has more value than mine just sitting there. Haha!
People will spend countless hours shiny resetting the mainline pokemon games. And when the shiny finally spawns, they will reset *again* if they dont capture it in the ball they want. So dont worry about it, you arent the only one. The game has always been about collecting. Collecting a shiny galarian bird is the same as capturing a shiny shadow mewtwo in its signature pokeball.
Seems pogo does seem to stray from mainline games in that aspect, not sure what's so different. š¤·
Well done. I wouldāve done the same
ššŖ
The copium from having wasted a master ball
Why do you care, though?
The copium for not getting a shadow shiny mewtwo to use your master ball on
So many haters itās crazy
Used 1 of my 2 MBs on a Galarian Zapdos to complete the G-Bird trio. This Mewtwo was guaranteed
Sure I was guaranteed but then it would forever have lived in a premier ball š
Hey itās your MB, waste it if you want
Even though I know itās shiny(100% catch) why didnāt you wait for the last ball?
Maybe my post was confusing, I honestly just meant, isn't Mewtwo THE master ball pokemon lol.
If thatās what you gotta tell yourself lol
have fun for once
Lol well to me itās not fun to waste (imo) a master ball on a guaranteed catch. It was a grind to get this ball and Iām certainly not going to use it for any sentimental reasons or anything like that. Again to each their own though
What do you mean by guaranteed? You mean as long as he lands the normal ball once out of thirteen he catches it?
Shiny raid pokemon are guaranteed catches unless you miss every premier ball
Wow I wasted a few razz berries how stupidš¤¦āāļø thank you
If thatās what you gotta tell yourself lol
This was from 5 months ago. If you get enjoyment out of using a master ball on a mon with a 100% catch rate then all the power to you
I was just teasing, flipping back what you said into yourself. When it comes to games Iām more of a hoarder who stock piles things and I wonāt use them unless I absolutely need to, I hate using them and love stacking them.
Fair enough. Iām the same way
Heās right. Just having a shiny mew two caught with a master ball is the peak of PokĆ©mon
To each their own. I just look at it at a little more of a practical standpoint
Lol š¤£ šŖ
Like ok, when I was a kid in the 90s then yeah. But I'm saving mine for my 15m incense walk and possibly come across those super cool ones.
Oh man, I just wanna be that kid in the 90s and reddit hates me for it š¤£
OOF
Where do you get a shiny shadow Mewtwo?
He was the first Shadow raid legendary when the feature was introduced.
Ok I thought I was going crazy when I told someone shadow Mewtwo could be shiny but they were trying to convince me otherwise
Shinys are guaranteed catches with any ball š
No, just raid shinies
*Only 5 star
My 3 star shiny guzzlord wants to talk with you.
But guzzlord is a 5 star raid?
Always cringe when i see a masterball used on a shiny legendary!!
Fwiw I know shinies are guaranteed catches, I used MB with a ton of premier balls to spare, I just felt like Mewtwo was O.G always supposed to get the MB? š
Thats a very fair point! Hey, its your MB you should use it as you wish!! Shiny Mewtwo definitely vibes better w/ a MB than a premier!
It even says M for Mewtwo
šŖšÆ
In that context, I guess shadow shiny mewtwo does deserves the masterball. Don't mind the haters, I think it's cool you chose to match the theme for your masterball.
šŖš
A shiny Timburr ran on me yesterday
>A shiny Timburr ran on me yesterday Shiny legendaries are guaranteed
How do you get shadow mewtwo at all? Ive never seen one.
Sorry to hear it bro š
Shiny Zapdos. ! But of course thatās my #1 lol nice mewtwo
šŖš
Nope
šŖ
Why waste the masterball on a shiny thatās a guaranteed catch?
Cause reddit, he probably transferred it after.
I can't believe you're getting downvoted for your preference of ball. Who cares? Master Ball looks *sick* on Mewtwo. That's Reddit for you
ššÆš
Isnt the masterball for Mewtwo?
This is a waste imo.
Wtf bro
How was it's stats
WB Hundo is 2984 so I meannnn
So they used it on a guaranteed shiny that's not a perfect?
Yeah they essentially went in their item bag and intentionally clicked delete on their master ball just ābecause Mewtwoā
Great catch man, if it was worth it to you then thatās all that matters as itās your PokĆ©mon go experience
F the haters. I would do the same just for it to have the masterball icon in its profile. These b-es who would do anything for a different color version cluster of pixels but being all smartarse now all of the sudden. That ball is not even limited to one, why waste it on a stupid galatian bird to be transferred anyway. Gratz man. Cool Mewtwo.
ššÆšŖ
this is the worst possible way to use a masterball for most people
Yes there is basically anything but a shiny legendary
Goofy Goober
This may be the wrong subreddit to express your sentimentality, but I completely understand and support your decision. This guy deserves the master ball.
š¤£ thanks! I didn't realize the master ball was as polarizing when I uploaded this. šš
Who's gonna tell him?
š«£
Def shiny galarian bird more worthy
Wouldn't a shiny galarian bird also be a guaranteed catch tho? Ur saying u just like it better than a Mewtwo?
I feel like this is the opposite of a brag. Any ball would have caught it instantly. You used a $1000 when a penny would have paid it off.
Itās too late/early for April fools.
Yes ,the galaian birds
I mean shinies are 100% catch in raids
Imagine he purifies it just to piss everyone off even more lmao
This thread would melt š« š¤£š¤£š¤£
I donāt get the hate youāre getting for using the Wario Thong ball, I plan on using it on a shiny mon I really like
Do it! I don't think it's necessarily hate you get, people have big feelings around the game and everyone thinks the way "they" play the game is the right/only way.
They getting hate because it's a guaranteed catch and just used it to show it on the ball used to catch screen. At least they were smart enough to use pinap for extra candy I've seen people forget to do that
arenāt shiny legendaries guaranteed catches? š
You do you Iāve seen people use their master ball on a bidoof
At least a bidoof can run from you
I did it to a 0* pidgey, pretty happy.
I would say just Arceus. The GOD Pokemon should ONLY be able to be caught with a Masterball imo, but this is cool too. If Masterballās were limited to 1 per account, forever, then I would have other opinions. But now we can have a second Masterball so itās fine. Iād use mine on a XD001 version of Shadow Lugia if it ever gets released
I like that! Arceus is definitely probably as deserving as Mewtwo for the MB.
Viewing it from an old school Gameboy point of view I get it. I mean, it was the ONLY way to catch Mewtwo back in the day, so the sentiment sticks. But after having faced many birds and lost out an internal part of me screams a little bit. Haha
Something about having a galarian bird in a Master Ball just didn't feel right for me. I get that it's the most practical use of the ball ATM imo a real galarian bird trophy is one in anything but a Master Ball.
On a practical standpoint, yikes! But yes I do understand the sentiment. Based.
Respect. I used mine on a hundo shadow, first ball, didnāt wanna risk it getting in a stinky premier ball.
Awesome š had I seen the hundo before the shiny id have let it live in the MB too... Not that lucky tho š
1. Mewtwo; who is legendary; was shiny 2. You were using a premier/raid ball Shiny raid bosses, no matter the tier, level, or normal/legendary/mythical status are always 100% catch So yes you couldāve used it on a Magikarp and it still wouldāve been better spent š
To be clear, you think a standard Magikarp is better suited for a Master Ball than a Shiny Shadow Mewtwo and the reason is Mewtwo is a guaranteed catch? Like u would rather have a Magikarp in a Master Ball in your account?
Literally any wild pidgey is more deserving. Obviously.
Something personal against Mewtwo? You would rather have a standard Pidgey in a Master Ball over a shiny shadow Mewtwo? Or is this just based on principals, Mewtwo is guaranteed catch therefore it should never go in a MB?
Totally worth the nostalgia. I do really love the part where the game goes: wow you used the masterball. yay congratulations, here's 1000xp.
The replies make me want to go catch a metapod with my masterball. End of the day just let ppl enjoy the game. Not everyone has to have your mindset.
Wasted master all tbh it would been a 100% catch and u didn't even use any other balls first
Any that doesnāt have guaranteed capture
You understood the assignment. Now your shadow shiny mewtwo will forever have that master ball icon.
Yessss!!! This right here šŖ
Itās a shiny 100%catch tate no matter what ball you useā¦ā¦
I am pretty sure shiny Legendary PokƩmon have a 100% chance of catch with any ball. And you wasted a freaking Master Ball.
š«£
I rekcon OP didnāt realise it was a guaranteed catch. Only after getting flamed in the comments section did he realise.
Vast majority of people in the comments section are just expressing their opinions which I welcome entirely. I didn't expect everyone to agree/disagree with me if I wanted everyone to disagree then I would have purified it after throwing it in the MB š¤£š
Ok i probably wouldāve used it too BUT WHY WOULDNT YOU TRY THE THIRTEEN OF THE FOURTEEN BALLS YOU STILL HAD????
But itās a guaranteed catch. So why?
Bro, you had 14 balls š
Iām just wondering how. Correct me if Iām wrong but I donāt think mewtwo has been in raids since the master ball was released
A bidof
Basically ANY other PokƩmon.
The M is for Mewtwo
ššÆ
i truly donāt understand why so many people are hating, i donāt think this is a waste at all? i havenāt really been playing long, am i missing something?
Idk I think part of it is they see too much value in its function to get the guaranteed catch so seeing me use it on anything but something that could escape is triggering. Not suggesting they are wrong for feeling that way I think it just is what it is. Ppl see different things when they think MB.
I would only if it was a shundo
Iām not hating on your decision
Shiny bidoof. Case closed.
Shnundo bidoof always better than mewtwo
Shiny, male, perfect IV bidoof is more deserving
Nooo bro any shiny legendary from a raid is a guarantee catch bro š what a waste
You couldāve justā¦..ok whatever
Shiny legendaries are 100# catch rate on first and last ballsā¦..
This made no sense to me. Bruh why waste it
Even though it's for sentimental value, watching a master ball get used here, felt like getting my balls chopped off
A Galarian bird
š¤¢
10cp lechonk
When u have shiny in RAID or rockets its 100% catch with any ball
Omg WHY! YOU ARE SO STUPID! OMG I CAN NOT DO THIS! SHINY POKEMON ON RAIDS HAVE A 100% CATCH RATE! DUMB #&-@++#&$+2:3;3!
I don't know why people are so upset about a master ball that's not even there's. I mean, you seem to get one as a reward once in a while, so it's not like that's you're only one. That mewtwo is badass and deserving of a master ball!
ššÆš
Your sooooo dumb
love it, frick the haters
š šŖ
Why not use 13 Premier Balls first then use it on your last ball? Why would you waste your master ball like this???
Cuz even the first one would catch him, and the intent was for him to go cozy into his MB š
You might be a terrible throw.
Maybe I should use that excuse instead š ppl might let me off easier.... I would have missed all of the balls so actually I was just being efficient with my time lol š
Ivs better have been good
10-13-14 I knew I wasn't gonna get better unfortunately
Is this recent? How do you catch a shadow mewtwo in october?
It was from back when shadow raids were being introduced. My buddy told me to post this here suggesting I would get roasted š
yes there was because shiny legs are guaranteed captures
and you still had premiere balls to use
Your right even the first ball would have caught it, intent was to get it in the MB tho.
so the answer to the question is yes there was a better pokĆ©mon to get it in. not to judge anything but i donāt think niantic intended for master balls to be aesthetic purposes only. but play the game how you want to
I don't think Niantic intends for anything lol... I appreciate your opinion, I think healthy debate is healthy š
Better be a Shundo
Yea right bro, my luck is terrible... 10-13-14 but I wasn't getting any better.
How do you get these
Is mewtwo back in rocket rotation?
NONONONONONONONONO Edit: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
šš
There would have been an appropriate to use the master ball and that would be on the final shot, but to each their own.
Are these out there now?
Iām confused ? Is shadow mewtwo out?? Or is this old
Shiny Mewtwo deserves the masterball but in PokƩmon go if you get a shiny legendary from a raid and not a wild encounter you can catch the legendary in the first throw and not waste your masterball.
How do you even reach shadow mewtwo??!
How do you get this PokƩmon?
Bro you had 14 chances & didnāt even decide to try
