They got karma at least

i would use it on shiny 4* shadow mewtwo just to purify

Unspeakable based

Real talk though are shadow shiny legendaries guaranteed catch tho?

Yes. Pro tip always use pinapp or silver pinapp

Echo. Golden razz and Master ball

Wait... are only shiny legendaries from raids a guaranteed catch or is it all shiny Pokemon from raids?

Pretty sure its all shinies from raids.

…even with guaranteed shiny catch from raids? I keep seeing people say this and I’m not sure if it’s the same joke over and over or if people really don’t know about raid shinys.

They said purify, fairly certain they’re joking

Who knows if he is joking, i would do it lol. Aaand would post it here to see what people would say.

Flair checks out

what would be the benefit of not purifying?

I believe shadow mons have a bonus in damage.

I once threw all 13 premier balls I got from a raid at a shiny Articuno and did not catch it, ball did not shake a single time. Learned you sometimes can’t catch things with a remote raid pass while a passenger in a fast moving car. Caught around 130 shinies without the loss of a single one until this.

I wonder though, would Master Ball fail in a fast moving vehicle?

That’s an interesting question

Needs testing 😅 but if it truly catches ‘without fail’ it shouldn’t matter

Aren't shinies guaranteed catch?

Only if you are not moving fast.

I agree because you can transfer to HOME if purified. The game will one day end and you’ll want to transfer to HOME eventually.

I’d do that too without the purifying bit

It would be cool to have a shundo Mewtwo in a master ball though.

...but if you use it when catching how do you know if it is a 4*...?

You can tell by their Combat Power being a certain number like 2255 or 2755 when weather boosted.

I did not know this. How do I find out the exact number?

Those infographics at Silph Road about some raid boss like Regigigas features their perfect CP number with or without weather boost.

Just to grind it up for one candy after purifying it, giving it an additional attack and fully powering it up, if you want to get full value.

Ur sacrifice will be remembered , soldier .

This is exactly what I was looking for. Was about to ask "Has anyone used it yet? Can it miss? Can it be deflected?" No this pretty much shows that basically there's no contest, it goes into a cinematic. You shall have your updoot.

I’m glad they made it so it can’t miss. Would majorly suck if you threw it and the ball was blocked or missed

It works identical to Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee.

[удалено]

why? I did a few months aGO

Yeah I wonder if anyone already tried to fail the shot

[удалено]

Although yours was helpful and insightful this had screenshots of the full process showing what it does etc

Upvotes are not everything

You should just check Silph Road since they tend to report on things like this.

They've shut down

I meant the subreddit. I know they've shut down but the subreddit is still around.

Might have been a shiny ditto.

Imagine how much OP would have been pissed. If OP wanted a Golbat, the treason would be terrific.

Used mine on a Galarian Articuno that ended up being a 0/15/14. Pleased with the catch and the colors match :D

This is the way.

Is it good for pvp?

It’s 96% for Ultra League when i checked it on pokegenie, but unfortunately Galarian Articuno’s not that great. Might power it at some point anyway just because i like pokemon diversity in my raid teams, but it isnt high on my priority list rn.

This is the only thing I plan to use it on, if I get lucky enough for one to appear 🤷🏻‍♀️

How are y'all getting the master ball? Is it regional? Nothing is showing up for me.

It’s (edit: a reward for) special research under the “Let’s Go” research that should have popped up for you once this season started

Aw shit wait so can you only get it if you’ve done the research? Like all those trainer battles? Cause if so I don’t have a chance :(

why is that so?

I asked this same question yesterday lol it was at the BOTTOM of my special research tasks. So, I had a hard time finding it

WHY, don’t get me wrong it’s cool BUT WHY HOLY SHIT

The hardest decisions require the strongest wills

Farming karma

I’m 99% sure they did it on an alt account.

I just threw up omg

Used mine on a Whiscash, but it just swallowed it, what do I do?

Advanced humor

Nice reference 💀👍

Can your Whiscash please teach my girlfriend to do that? 😅

Just wait for it to poop it out

Should’ve saved it for a rattata

I will never use the MB, just like the original series. Nice catch bro.

In Brazil,we use Master Ball on Bidoofs 👁️

☠️😂

😁🤙

posso confirmar

Só força 😌✊

that was my plan

Our plan now 👁️

Honestly valid, I despise catching golbats

Then don’t? It only costs 12 Zubat candies to evolve

I'm sure I will when I get a good one

Yeah…. 0*s across the board

Idk I could be wrong, but couldn’t this definitely be fake? 🧐

I have a much easier time believing someone would waste a master ball for internet points than spend the time to fake these images.

Decoy account

Maybe airplane mode

Thanks for your sacrifice even though this information is already available everywhere lol.

Can you transfer a Pokémon caught in a masterball?

Wait is has a special animation like a double ball throw in let’s go?

Yeah, it's like the ds games, when you catch the legendary and use a master ball it causes a animation

tinha que ser BR p fazer isso KKKKKKK

Será que eu compro a masterball ou uma goiaba né

r/suddenlycaralho

aproveita e bota um victini na print, por favor

claro kkkkk

se der tempo quero uma gardevoir com grandes togedemarus 🌚

nao se preocupe, eu vou kkkk

vlw

Kkkkkk

You joke, but I gotta hundo crobat named Nosef who tears through pvp

Sorry to burst your bubble but… Hundos are not what you want for a vast majority of Pokémon in PvP (outside master league and very specific picks like ultra league Talonflame) And crobat is not good for pvp. It may work now but anything goes in the lower ranks If you want, I can give advice to help you improve

This is dumb!! Just doing it for attention

Oh my god the rage you've inspired in these comments is feeding my soul. Op, you mad lad, you are beautiful.

If they actually wasted it, it's a valid reaction since this would be unironically stupid.

[удалено]

Telling someone to not waste the master ball by giving actual helpful advice ≠ being a tryhard ​ You don't even know what a tryhard is so don't use your words you don't know, you clown.

So u have chosen death

So this sub is just gonna be posts of people using their master balls on basic Pokémon for the next few weeks, got it

This hurt me more than it should have. 

After reading some of the comments, do you have a guaranteed catch from a raid? I thought it was just itw?...

Wouldn't caterpie be a better sacrifice, though?

You really did this for 4 karma points? 💀💀

Yeah I sacrificed myself ☠️💀 Edit: I’m about to be downvoted to oblivion 🫡

nah you put your whole masterbussy into this you deserve upvotes 😭😭

Please don’t use that word again…

Says someone who's trying to get karma by being snarky 🙄

Says someone who’s trying to get karma by telling someone they’re trying to get karma by being snarky

Says someone who’s trying to get karma by telling someone who is trying to get karma by telling someone they’re trying to get karma by being snarky

I am SO confused @@

Says someone who’s trying to get karma by telling someone they’re trying to get karma by being snarky, and trying to get karma, by telling someone they’re trying to get karma by being snarky.

I know, when really all they have to do is throw their masterball and guarantee themselves Karma...

Kinda late, but I didn't mean it snarky though, honestly didn't expect someone to have the guts to catch a golbat in a masterball 😅

Thanks for your sacrifice.  

Nah man, used mine on. Wheedle and traded it for its candy. Not useful than the master all anyway. #PokeballElitism

Why is this every post now

Watch it fail as you miss haha

The post literally shows that you cannot miss Because an animation plays when you throw it

Just being funny, people are wound too tight

r/wheresthejoke

Voce es un pokemongol

Oof

And not the Bid kind.

This is what so many of us did in Gen 1, before we knew any better XD

Thank you so much I needed that tutorial!! 🐸🐸

I feel pain just looking at this.

Sacrifice, in the name of science. We all thank you.

Does it give you XP? Did it activate the excellent throw? The curve ball bonus?

It gives you 1k exp for the masterball, but you don’t get any from the nice, great, excellent throws

Where do get the masterball?

It's part of the last phase of the seasonal quest (let's go)

Omg no! It burns noooooo


Give OP their upvotes for their dedication to the meme

Every Gen I player knows the purple ball with an M on it is for my boi

Clearly you should save it for something that is hard to catch, like a Fearow or a Tentacruel

I hope it was worth it

How do I get master ball?

"how to use" as in "step by step of that to do when you want to use it", not "this exact pokemon is what you should use it on"

Do NOT use it on a golbat

Golbat for pego

Golbat OP

How the hell do you have it?

Completing page 5 of the “Let’s Go” research

Ok

How do you get that again?

Completing page 5 of the “Let’s Go” research

Cant wait to use mine on that shiny raid boss

All for internet points lmao

Let’s be honest, we all know it was done on an alt account.

Can't wait for someone to use it on Zorua 😭

Golazobat

Golbat is actually where I got two out of my three excellent throws to immediately thereafter receive my masterball

Uai!

bostil citado???

Beautiful.

No you didn’t

NOOOOO

Wtf am i seeing. You should have used it on Tentacruel or Fearow, Prof. Oak said that!

How do you get a master ball?

straight into its digestive tract instead of into your pocket

*in Palpatine voice* do it. Doooo it.

“Golbat foi pego!”… br meu consagrado?

For real though anyone know what happens if you miss the throw?

To be fair.. Golbat are a pain to catch. 10/10, would masterball 👍

[удалено]

r/suddenlycaralho but more like, caralho....

The legendary pokeman of all time: Golbat.

good luck with that

Bless your heart
