When Do You Use Your Masterball???

When im catching legendaries. Or when I run into a rare pokemon like Skarmory.
 
usely after spending five hours swearing my head off at a game because that damn legendary wont stay in side my damn balls.

or if im going for a good natur in a legendary.
 
I use to use it on the version mascot but then realized I didn't need to and haven't used them since. Maybe I'll use it if I come across a hard to catch shiny or something else rare.
 
For each game, I usually use it on the regional legendary. But, since then, I've been playing through the Gen III games up to where I get the Master Ball then just harvest them to Diamond along with my starters for breeding. Which I really need to stop doing, since my name and stuff on that file aren't how I want them, and I don't have another DS or a friend with another DS so I can transfer everything to Platinum.
 
I dont use mine, last time i used a masterball was back in sapphire on rayquaza. these days i dont use it at all :) i prefer the suspense of not knowing if your going to catch the pokemon or not.
 
I only use one if it's a shiny or other very rare Pokemon. Occasionally, I'll use it on a wandering legendary if it's giving me a lot of grief.
 
Starting from Gold and Silver, I've always used it for catching the pokemon on the box cover. :)
 
When I get so pissed with wandering Pokemon. For some reason Mesprit HATED me. It, uh, was the victim of my Master Ball. ^_^" But I get some from my friend.
 
I've got most legendaries on my Diamond game now; I don't even bother catching them anymore. I've like 20 legit Master Balls sitting in my inventory not doing anything.
 
WHAAAAAAAAAAAT?!
You CAN USE the masterball?! O__o
I allways thought it was a somekinda trophy or something...

But taking this serieously...The last time I used a masterball waaaas...
Honestly, it's hard to remember, since I it was in blue or yellow.
In silver I wanted to save it and I did that in other versions afterwards.
But I guess I threw it on Mew2 face.
 
I always saved mine for a roaming Pokemon. I broke that tradition in my SS version, however. When I found that shiny Ho-oh, I knew I couldn't afford to screw around with Ultra Balls.
 
In SS I was hunting in a swarm of wild Chansey for Lucky Eggs when Latios suddenly appeared. It caught me completely off guard, and I couldent even attack it because I had my Compoundeyes Venonat out. So I just chucked my Masterball at it....
 
I never use my masterball. I used to when I was little but I figure everything can eventually be caught in the different balls so I might as well save the masterball.
 
NEVER! Mine!! All mine!! *holds onto her hoard of 8 Master Balls protectively*

Saving them for the day I actually feel like soft resetting for Shiny Legendaries.
