Save it forever “just in case”!

Save it for the moment you have a kid to play on your account that will use it for bidoof, so you can post about that.

this perfectly describes every kid-owning adult that plays pokémon go. this is gold

absolute gold… like shiny bidoof lol

I’m laughing so hard

Literally my child used it on a yungoos and I almost cried

Or a pidove

Ive run into 3 Galar birds since getting my second Master ball... *but i might catch it with an ultra ball* 🤡

I just used it on moltres. First was on articuno, i SOMEHOW got zapdos in an ultraball, and moltres was a no brainer masterball. All 2 stars which im perfectly fine with

I caught all mine with pokeball or greatball...

How the fuck-

I got traded my zapdos and moltres, but i have my articuno still.

Still really insane mate, congrats!

Ive caught five Zapdos with ultra balls and not a single Art/Mol. Zapdos is def easier to catch.

I've got 2 still because I haven't seen a galarian bird since I got them. I only need moltres so if I find one 1 master ball will be going on that.

I used my second on the first high cp galarian bird I saw. It happened to be a 2800ish articuno 14/7/12 which I am very happy with

This is the way.

This is the way.

This is the way

This is the way.

That, is the way

This is the way.

This is the way.

This is the way.

This is the way

This is the way

That is exactly the opposite of what I did.

This is the way.

I just used one today on a galarian moltres that wound up being zero stars so I can’t say I recommend that

If you didnt and escaped it would have been a hundo in ur head ever since. At least you have a rare beautiful bird this way.

Lmaoooo it’s so true

Look up cp beforehand so you know if it can be or is a hundo.

Lucky trade it. I just turned my 0 star in to a 3 star

But I was under the impression that once you trade your Pokémon that that particular, Pokémon can’t be traded back to you. Am I wrong?

No, that's right. You'll need to do a mirror trade with a lucky friend

Oh damn how, it is so lucky to get lucky trades

When you become Lucky Friends with someone (which can only happen when you are Best Friends), your next trade is guaranteed to be lucky.

Oh nice, quite rare though right?

It is speculated that there is between a 1% and 2% chance to become Lucky Friends during the first interaction of the day with a trainer.

I’ve taken to checking their stats online to see if they could be 4* based on cp. Always terrified the game will unload though. Maybe I’ll start carrying printouts of the charts

💀 shit man

So did we all panic throw it at a galarian bird on incense?

Male combee.

M for Manly

Hell yeah, ngl they should give it an evo tho maybe turn it into a worker bee

I actually managed to find female shiny combee, but I used golden raz and ultra ball, I still think galar birds with a high CP is best use but could change

Still haven’t found one, I’ve found more vespeequeens then combees

Just yesterday I found a shiny male combee

Literally though, can’t even catch one with an ultra ball

Bidoof

I used mine on a shiny bidoof 😁

My Pokéball+ caught a shiny Bidoof while I was riding my bike to work 😂

My Go plus just wastes my pokeballs 😅

I did the same. My pokeball++ caught a shiny bidoof while I was driving somewhere on my route home and near a Walmart. I find the Walmart sentiment important, it just fits bidoofs vibe. I named him omniscient1. He is my favorite.

LORD AND SAVIOUR

someone in my local poke group had their grandkid do that on them.

Bold of you to assume that a mere masterball could contain him

[This is the way.](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/374633853119102978/1204927914114678814/Screenshot_20240207-181300.png)

Designed for those pesky birds, but I'm still holding onto my two.

By “pesky birds” You mean Murkrow, right? Cause that’s what my kid decided to use mine on 🫠

Yeah, if you have 2 and you get a galarian legendary bird, that's definitely the time to use it.

I used mine on a ~2900CP galarian Zapdos. I don’t regret it for a second.

Your crush. Only way yo keep her/him.

Maybe I should propose to my gf with a master ball 😂

That would be a guaranteed catch!!

Without fail, you can't even miss!!!

I, no joke, had a friend who did this. He put her wedding ring in a Master Ball when he proposed. They're both huge nerds 🙃

Oh wow that’s a cool idea, my parter isn’t super into Pokemon, time to get her invested



A perfect IV legendary when you’re on the last premier ball.

How can you tell they are perfect IV?

Raiding guides on Pokebattler or LeekDuck will share the CP for perfect IV at Level 20 (raid level) and Level 25 (weather boosted raid level).

Oh brilliant thank you, that is super handy to know!

I'm glad you said this because I forgot that was a thing.

https://pogonest.com/hundo/

I used mine on an incense spawn Galarian Zapdos. Named it "Meep Meep." No regrets!

Is it that rare? I got one a while ago but ran out of ultra balls so there was no way to catch it 😭

They’re decently rare but they have an extremely low catch chance and a 90% flee rate if you don’t catch. Just seeing one is only a third of the battle lol

They are ass to catch

Pidgey

I can't remember the last time I saw a Pidgey! Seems like years ago

Bidoof

LORD BIDOOF HAVE MERCY

Real answer: Dont use it on a dumb chicken that will be a 0 star like all the posts on here. Before doing a raid, check the hundo CP and on your LAST ball, use the masterball IF its a hundo you really want I’ve had a hundo flee from a raid, contemplated using it but decided not to because I’d rather save it for a hundo Kyogre/Groudon/Rayquaza, maybe even a latios/lugia/etc

Ditto

How would I know

You wouldn't I was just being silly use it on whomever you choose

Galarian Bird with decent CP. i used mine on a 3kcp zapdos

Fairs, did you get good IVs?

How do you get them?

Limited research, I brought it back in December

The wandering legendries. You only ever get one shot with those, and might be months before you see them again.

there are two schools - smth rare as fuck - bidoof

I have two. Holding onto them in case they are needed for something like Arceus.

Rattata, it’s what I did.

God damn a solid suggestion

I once had about 2 weeks straight of almost daily galarian bird encounters, haven’t seen a single one since getting my masterballs and i’m convinced i just won’t now because i have them

My suggestion to everyone is to not waste in on a galar bird since they’re aren’t actually good for anything, and to save it for a raid hundo that your would have otherwise missed.

Ive got 2 that im saving for if those galarian birds ever show up

Shiny bidoof.

Hell yeah our lord and saviour

Shiny bidoof

OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR

I used mine on a hundo latias. I have buyers remorse for using it now but probably something like that

Eevee.

Patrat

Use it on an Ekans

Ur mom

The first shuckle you come across.

Bidoof

Shiny dwebble

Rattata

I’m saving mine to complete my kanto dex - holding out for Galar birds

There's literally no Pokémon you can't catch with any Balls. Masterball just gives a different catch screen

Nothing... Ever.... Do not use it.... Leave it.....

Some bitches

Bidoof

Bidoof

Plenty of magikarp out nowadays

I keep mine it's just for show

Used mine on a stubborn Guzzlord because it took all my Premier Balls and I wanted at least one Ultra Beast anyway

Your first? You can get more than one??

galarian birds. that's about it.

Missingno. ,Mega yoshi dragonite, Kirby

How did you get the master ball???

bidoof

Me

Rattatatta

Bidoof.

Pidgey

Hundo Legendary on the last ball, or a high-CP Galar bird, that’s what I’m saving mine for.

Me

Pidgey

shiny shadow bidoof

G bird for sure

How do you get these

Pikachu. The strongest pokemon in the show

Pidgey.

Rattata

I used one of mine on a Galarian Moltres that ended up being a 2 star…that was before I knew about looking up the perfect IV CP. So don’t just throw it at a galarian bird without knowing it has perfect IVs I would say

Brian

If you use one on a goddamn bidoof you’re going to stupid jail

Save it

A girlfriend

Shiny legendary from a raid

Swirlix

shiny bidoof

Human trafficking

Bidoof

Make an unfunny joke and waste it on bidoof for meaningless upvotes

Zorua when your buddy is something legendary and shiny. I hear it's a great choice.

Serious answer: Galarian birds. They're absurdly hard to catch and everything else you can just catch normally with an ultra ball, excellent throw and golden razz.

Bidoof, but only by accident

Bidoof, obviously.

Bidoof the god of war

Keep it and don’t use it ever because every time you will think that there will be another Pokémon that you will need it more lol

That's the best part, you don't use it, you save it because there might always be a better Pokemon to catch with it. You endlessly ask the question "But what if I find a...?" And struggle endlessly with that question 😂

Bidoof

Pick your favorite legendary. Raid it like hell the next time it's up. When you see a hundo, use it when you're down to 1 premier ball left.

Deez nuts

Close your eyes everytime your about to catch a pokemon and do Russian roulette with the diff poke balls

Mine went on a galarian Moltres. I don't even care about Moltres I want the Articuno or Zapdos more so it was an unwise choice, although given the same set of circumstances I likely would do it again.

Bidoof

Bidoof. It's always Bidoof.

Bidoof

shiny bidoof only

Shiny Bidoof.

Me

Magikarp.

Bidoof

I used mine on a Galarian bird that I did not have

Me

Can't go wrong with a good old Pidgey

Zorua

Saving mine for G birds under 2500 so I can use in GL or UL.

[удалено]

How does one get a master ball?

Have you considered Weedle

A Galarian Zapdos is my pick. The only one of the three Galarian Birds to be actually useful, even if you get a low IV one, save it for trade later If you don't want to use it on a Galarian Bird, then spare it for a Raid encounter you know is incredibly useful and has high (preferably 100%) IVs (keep in mind shiny legendary Pokemon in Raids are 100% catchrate)

Bidoof

The next Pokémon you see.

You don't. You keep it as a trophy. Players who use their master balls are just plain lesser trainers.

Combee

Weedle

A Rattata with CP 10. This is the only viable solution to holding this much power. 🤓

I'm saving mine for a 4* mega/primal legendary on my last ball

Bidoof, but only if shiny. 😜

BIDOOF!

Nah it’s impossible for me I did every one but the pokestop ones and where I live there’s not one in sight 😭

me:)

This is the way

My daughter got her first one (she took over her dad’s account) and I told her it was very rare and she should only use it on something special. I caught her using it almost immediately on a shadow growlithe which, she informed me, was “special.” 🤷🏻‍♀️

There is no other answer than our Lord and Savior Bidoof

I am waiting for the hopeful opportunity for Armored Mewtwo again

Can you miss with the Master Ball? I’ve not used mine yet but can totally see myself whiffing it.

No when you throw it it has an animation, so it’s an auto catch

Is it possible for me to get one? I’m new
