Do you remember the first and most recent Pokémon you used a Master Ball on?

First Pokemon: Zapdos in FireRed, I was too nervous about catching a legendary when I was a child lol.

Most recent: Uhh on a Feebas in Scarlet accidentally after two glasses of wine. I noticed it immediately and screamed "Ohhhh noooooo" too loudly lol.
 
First Pokemon was Ho-Oh in Pokemon Heart Gold, i had watched a lot of Pokemon fan content on youtube before i even got my hands on my very own pokemon game so i had i drilled into my brain that Master Balls are for box legendaries only. Apparently that belief is still somewhat drained into my head because my most recent Master Ball was Zekrom, when playing Pokemon White.
 
I followed Oak's advice and used it on a hard to catch Pokémon like Fearow or Tentacruel /j

As far as I know, my first was Reshiram in Black. I followed the trend of reserving them for the box mascots for a bit more after that, and then leaving any spare master balls to lay dormant in my bag and being too scared to ever use it lol
 
First: either Kyogre or Rayquaza in Alpha Sapphire. Maybe the latter since I remember getting the Master Ball in the Delta Episode.

Current: Shiny Kyurem in Black 2
 
The first was probably Giratina in Platinum because I was a noob :bulbaLol:

The last, not sure, since you can print them in Indigo Disc I probably used some on the legendaries from Snacksworth encounters cause I was lazy and just wanted to wrap that up.
 
oh that's easy, none at all hehe

I never use non-renewable resources in games (including TMs in games where you can't buy/earn as many as you want) and the auto-capture removes the entire point of whittling down the wild Pokémon's health to capture them (which is a mechanic I do like)

even thirty years ago, when I captured the three birds and Mewtwo, I didn't use a master ball; if each of the legendaries can't have the same legendary ball, none will!
 
I am old enough to be a Pokemon Red player. I believe the first Master Ball I used was of course Mewtwo, since other Poke Balls could be dodged. Thank god that's not a thing anymore.

Thank goodness that there are multiple now. I think I used one on the angry Koraidon, Terapagos, and Pecharunt.

My absolute last Master Ball was Pecharunt. That level 88 thing was beating down my Team.
 
It's a Master Biscuit rather than a Ball, but I used one on Latios in Pokémon Sleep just the other day as part of the ongoing event.

I don't recall the last time I actually used a proper Master Ball, since I typically avoid it specifically so I can give myself a bit more of a challenge. It might have been on a stream, perhaps something silly like catching a Pokémon in Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire while I had one.
 
The first one was a Snorlax in FireRed, as it just kept spamming Rest, and I didn't have enough Ultra Balls.
The most recent one is a Latias in Emerald.
 
I think the first time I used my Master Ball was in Silver when I used it to catch either Entei or Raikou. My most recent time may've been catching Koraidon in Scarlet... I think.
 
it's.... been a while since i remembered the last time i've used a master ball. i typically try to save it and keep it as a trophy item, if anything. u_u i think the last time i've used it was maybe during sun and moon or sword and shield during the cover legendary battles?
 
First time was a Sudowoodo... on my friend's copy of Crystal when I borrowed it. Oops. My most recent would be a shiny Ditto I ran into the other day in LeafGreen en route to Mewtwo, ironically as a break from my shiny Deoxys hunt.
 
First time: I think it was a Seadra on Route 23 in Red because I was a moron.

Most recent: Probably Palkia in Shining Pearl.
 
First one was Groudon in Emerald, it didn't want to be caught and I couldn't resist. I kinda regretted it as other legendaries were harder and some of them even died.

Last one I have some anecdotes, from most recent to oldest:
-Mewtwo in ZA, I wanted it to be caught in a Master Ball so I had to wait until completing all the Mable missions. The reason I didn't use the story one was because...
-...I accidentally used it on an Eevee, and didn't realize until much later. Could have been a worse use though.
-Ho-Oh in Violet.
-Shiny Cinccino in Violet, was in a rush as I was playing online with a friend so I said...why not?
 
I ended up using one on Dialga as a last resort after it had wiped out 5/6 of my team, leaving no one but my underleveled HM slave... and I'd already consumed all my other Poke Balls. Why did I wait until things were so grim? ... Because I was 10, dumb and Diamond was my first mainline Pokemon game; I somehow hadn't understood at the time that Master Balls have a 100% catch rate. (Either that, or I literally forgot the thing was in my inventory.)

I haven't used a Master Ball since. I'm one of those gamers that will do anything to avoid using their "super rare/expensive/once-a-save-file" items unless I'm all out of options, and that generally never happens to me in Pokemon games. Plus, I kinda like the challenge of capturing certain Pokemon.
 
First one was Giratina in Platinum. It was my first game so I just did the obvious thing I could think of and use the strongest ball on what was logically one of the hardest Pokemon to catch.

Most recent was Latios in ZA. The concept of actually spending time doing normal catches in Hyperspace sounds awful to me so I just threw the Master Ball to end the whole thing as fast as I could.
