In the games, you get one Masterball during the initial playthrough - and in B2W2, Colress gives you another Masterball postgame. There's also the Join Avenue lottery where you might win them for free.

But has anyone actually used their Masterball(s)? I'm saving them for the last remaining legendaries in case they might be shiny - or basically any shiny that might kill itself.

Though I might never use it ever...XDD

I used my masterball twice before. i used one on a shiny latios and one on regigigas. Master ball is like a last resort.
 
I was saving my Master Balls in W2, for some event. Then I remembered you can catch Heatran, so I used on it so I'd SR for a competitive one, but didn't wan't to invest soooo many time using ultraballs. The other one was sent to White so I could catch a nice Landorus. Some other Master Balls have been used in roaming pokemons:
Red: Ditto (I was young and naive, and wanted a Ditto)
Gold: Raikou
Platinum: Mesprit. Then transfered some by Pal Park from Sapphire, used in the Kanto Birds.
SoulSilver: Raikou again.
White:Thundurus.
 
I use it on those pesky roaming legendaries. I don't want to run around the whole region for that one Pokemon, and more often than not I don't have any Pokemon with abilities/moves that make it stay put. It saves me a lot of headache.
 
Only once so far, on Lugia in HGSS. Though I regret that, and I now prefer saving the Master Balls for a shiny or a roaming legend I really want.
 
I always use them on a soft resetted legendary.

On a side note has anyone ever won the JA lotto shop madterball. I gave up on it after 100 goes and replaced the shop.
 
Blue: Mewtwo (thought that was the only way)
Gold: Ho-Oh
Emerald: Regice
Platinum: Zapdos
SoulSilver: Latios
White: Thunderus
 
The only time I ever used a masterball was after making 150 of them back in pokemon red.

When playing for real I never use them because I fear of wasting it and always think, what if I need it later?! And so I never use it.
 
When I was younger, I used to always save my Master Balls for the game's main legendary. Nowadays, I rarely ever use the ball at all, preferring to catch Pokemon the longer, harder way, that way so I can save my Master Ball for anything more rarer that may come my way, such as certain shiny Pokemon. I used my Master Ball in B2 to capture a Cresselia that turned out to be shiny.
 
I always used mine on a roaming legend.

Black 2 was the first time I caught the version mascot with it, thanks to Colress and his second one. I'm saving my other Master Ball in hat game for a pesky shiny that won't stay inside any other ball. (Quick Balls are always my first option.)
 
I have and once, I really regretted it.

In Ruby I used my Master Ball on Groudon, not knowing how much of a pain in the skidplate that blasted roaming Latios would be. After chasing Latios down and failing to capture it more times than I could count, Prime cloned a few Master Balls on his Sapphire and eased my pain a little. After that, I made sure to have extra Master Balls on hand and would only use them on roamers.

In Emerald, I used one on Latias. I had a spare and I cloned the living heck out of it.

In Pearl, I blew a few on some shiny catches--a Voltorb pair, an Elekid and a Geodude. Not messing around with shinies that may be able to kill themselves or who won't stay in the ball.

In Black it was Tornadus because he's a freaking roamer and I hate them. I have yet to use one in B2 but I have something like 32 of them on hand. Yeah, if I run into a hard to catch shiny or Legend, my sorry tail is so prepared. They're my absolute last resort now.
 
Yeah, I used my Master Ball in White and HeartGold.

White against Zekrom. I just wanted to catch him right away.
Same with Ho-oh in HeartGold. Okay, I DID weaken it significantly, and I did use some Ultra Balls at first, but I just decided to use the Master Ball and "be done with it".
I'm aware that using it against a roaming Legendary might have been a better idea, but eh. Tbh I don't really care about catching the other Legendaries; they'd just go straight to my PC Box, anyway.
 
There are people who don't use their Master Balls?

In other words, yes. Yes I do.
 
I used to used them on the box legendaries, but I switched to using them only for roamers after being annoyed a lot with them constantly running and it taking too long to catch them and very hard to weaken enough to capture them. Now they are saved strictly for roamers or shinies that I dont want to risk battling/or which will self destruct/run. If there are none of those, the Master Ball is not used at all.
 
I always save them. I feel dirty catching legendaries. Feels like owning a Humpback whale, just shouldn't be. But when I see one I make a game of it and try to catch only using pokeballs. If I run out then no Legendary.
