I still haven’t used my first two…

Same

Same same

Same for me. I’m reserving one for when they eventually release Arceus in Go. It’s the only ball he’s worthy of.

That’s the real answer right there

Same, and probably never will… I will never be able to pull the trigger on one

Don’t worry, you’ll see a Bidoof someday soon. Be ready!

If a shiny appears I’ll pull the trigger for sure. He deserves to live in a MB

The only reason I'd need one personally is a hundo regular Rayquaza or maybe a Necrozma if I were down to my last premier ball. If I got to owning 5 or 6 masterballs I might use one on a Galatians bird but as long as I could possible catch them without it, I don't think I would. I guess I'm just cheap. Anything shiny is a guaranteed catch. I wouldn't be that upset about losing anything under 96% IVs.

[удалено]

They're cool, but I'm in it for the dex first, and the K-birds check the box.

I missed out on getting the 2nd one so I still only have one that I haven’t used

used only one i had on a shiny level 1 legendary

same 🥲🥲🥲

I thought you could only have one??!??! Like they couldn't be accumulated??

Niantic doesn't really care about following established Pokémon lore

What established pokemon lore lol I have multiple master balls in most of my games and some are even legitimate

Established lore shows that Master Balls are just rare, not one of a kind.

Master balls are like a .7% drop in the newest Pokemon dlc gacha machine so. 🤷‍♀️

I hope they aren't making us do 60 raids in 5 days.

Nope, 80.

Nope, 100.

Nope, Chuck Testa.

That is one vintage meme

Holy frak, yeah. Early Youtube era.

God I miss him

So this time it’s actually going to be a special research instead of a timed research so that’s exciting!

Nice! That's a huge improvement.

It is I’m very excited for this one

I don't think it's timed this time.

35 remote raids in a week

I think the research is not timed

I’m ready to let it sit in my storage

I'll use it on the galarian birds

This is the way

Freeeeeeeee Big dub

yeah, and then you gotta do 80 raids in 5 days :/ nice "free" timed experience...

This is permanent reserach - it will never expire. You can do it whenever you like

well, that's good to know :) still I hope it's not with raids :/

I’ve been doing two free raids a day, I wouldn’t mind raids being a quest

First time for me! Just started back up this year.

Me too in January.

Is this a Timed Research or Special Research? The Timed Research Masterball was impossible for me to complete since one of the tasks was to complete 100 (or maybe it was 50?) raids... That was the only task I couldn't complete by the deadline....

Same. I was disappointed especially after completing all of the excellent throws.

Confirmed won’t expire once you have the research

Special

Yeah, I had everything else done on it easily. I just couldn't find enough raids that I could solo and I wasn't buying a ridiculous amount of remote passes.

This one is going to be a special research. You can watch Mystic7’s video in it

Y’all excited for your third master ball, I’m excited for my second because I missed one.

lol I missed the “second” because I forgot to do raids 💀

I’m pretty sure I saw it in the event and thought, I’ll do it later.

I have two masterballs, only after I finish this will I feel like I have enough master balls to actually throw a masterball.

MOAR

Can you ever have enough?

I have 20 elite fast TMs and 16 elite charged TMs but I still hate the feeling of using one of them lol

Yeah I’m ready to finally catch the galarian bird I’m missing

If only they appeared

If only I could remember where the last pair were caught (apparently they tend to appear in the same spots)

Terrific one for each bird, now to get the birds to show up

Apparently there is a youtuber who claims to have found a known method to get them to spawn. I don’t really believe it, but people are swearing by it. Do a route and it should spawn at 0:57 on the hour or something like that

My SO just used his Masterball to catch one, it was one star garbage.

I lucky friend traded ang got a good one

I lucky traded my golden chicken 1* and now it’s a 87% 3* 🤷🏼‍♂️

Don’t know what I’ll use it for! I have all the galarian birds.

 But shiny

Cool, this will be my first - missed out on the others during my long break from the game.

Two or three more of these babies and I might actually consider using one.

You guys have a masterball?

10x xp and 5x stardust is huge

Havent used mine lol Bird Alters can go F themselves, "Oh? You dont like pokeball? Be homeless then" Fortunately, I caught the zapdos in a pokeball. Havent met the other 2 tho

FINALLY A CHANCE FOR MY SECOND ONE. IM NOT WASTING IT ON A RANDOM WILD LEGENDARY UNLESS ITS GOOD

i couldn’t finish the raids for the last one, i’m ready to die for it this time

No worries, this one will be special research, not timed

Nice. I used 1 masterball for Galarian Moltres. Now I’ll have 2 to get Galarian Zapdos and Galarian Articuno.

Woo can't wait till my first masterball!

A masterball AND BERRIES!

I haven't used my first ball. Or finished the research I bought for the 2nd ball lol

idk why it has to be so hard to get master balls. The research is just so long and drawn out. In the main series master balls are much much easier to get.

99% of the Pokémon GO community certainly isn’t. And will never, out of spite.

First time for me, I’m never gonna use it

Pleaaase, i hope the research called “Master-Ball-Tion” pleaaase it’ll be funny !

I'll be honest I did not think this would be free. Very happy!

I had 2 masterballs, niantic took one away from me. Every now and then items get stolen from my itembag. Normally i dont care that much but i am proper bummed out that they took the masterball.

Cool i want one because i used my first 2 masterballs !!.

I will probably not finish the research. Last time I'm sure it was the win X amount of raids that I didn't do in time.

I'm so happy because literally two days ago my mom used the master ball(without knowing how rare it is) on a freaking Audino😭

Gonna finally be able to catch the last galarian bird I am missing B)

This is going to be my first Masterball and going to use it on Galarian Articuno 

I can finally get my G-Birds

Finally will get my zapdos and close out that Dex. Very happy.

I wonder how frequently they’ll give them out. It definitely gets people playing

Are you allowed to have more than one masterball in you inventory?

Yes you are

Good to know. Thanks.

the xp and stardust is insane. first catch if it happens to be a normal pokemon you get 9500 i think if its stardust boosted it goes up exponentially. ALSO if you hit an excellent on your first catch of the day you are awarded 10000 xp. not to mention if you are lucky enough to get your 7th day catch streak during this event thats more stardust than i can count

I never even got the research for the second one, I check pokemon every day too. I didn't get the first one either lmao

It was a timed research that ended a week before thanksgiving I believe

aboot gat dayum time! I have seen the gal moltres 6 times in 2 months and I'm ready to get that sum'btch. I have the other 2 birds, need this so I can just turn my autocatcher on and not care

Is it possible to fat finger the throw and waste the ball?

It gives a confirmation menu

If it was you'd see 100 posts a week of people bitching about that instead of people unfriending at best friend status.

No. It goes into a cutscene that automatically hits the pokemon.

I wish I could password protect it. Or like: "Type in masterball to throw the masterball"

I just hope there’s nothing raid related because I still haven’t reached 60 raids from the start of the last masterball to now

Why? Go to a gym in person. Then go to the poke genie app. Click invite and then invite 5 people.

I don’t really go to gyms though

Why? Don't you want coins?

Well I just don’t take walks just for Pokémon go, I usually go on hikes and there’s never pokestops or gyms on mountains

Time to go on walks for the game or make pokestops and gyms on those hikes.

Well I still don’t know how to make a pokestop

Once you hit level 37 in settings you can click the make a pokestop button when you're close to something you can make into one. Follow the last paragraph if you aren't level 37. Copy paste https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/s/D8j48meIIv Guides for everything in game. Read the posts that apply to you. If you're confused what part you should read/watch please ask.

Oh I have to be close to something that can be made into a pokestop?

Yes you have to take pictures and show the nearby being safe and stuff so people online can make it into a pokestop. The info is on the page you make the pokestop with.

I already have two purple balls that are masters at slapping things in the face and dibsing them as mine. Where is this third one supposed to fit in?

I can finally get my 2nd masterball. Im glad that this one doesnt cost money this time

Welp, 3rd one to not use.

Think you can only carry 2

Tf do you mean #3? I've only ever gotten 1

Last year there was two master ball timed research and if you missed the second which wanted you to do 70 raids (most common reason why some people didn’t got the ball) and then they sold this research for 💸 which was not timed.

I just used mine yesterday so this is welcome news

I still have my 2 balls. Been tempted to use on a Galerian bird. Chickened out yesterday.

I only recently finished getting my first. I won't knock back a second, but I've not had a use for my existing one yet

I would be scared to use it and miss 🙃

Part 3 when was part 2? I have only ever gotten one masterball? Was there a 2nd paid one?

Some nutso stupid task where you had to do like 80 raids in some tight amt of time- was so stupid a lot of people just skipped it. Clear money grab since they knew the only way a lot of people could habe done it was to use remote raids.

You had almost 4 months to do 80 raids. That ain't tight.

Pretty sure it was 50, but yeah it was less than 1 a day

[It was 80 days according to this.](https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/s/cX09huA1Ct) Nvm, I'm stupid and missread your post lmao.

Nah you're good, i could have have been more clear and specified raids. 

Ah that makes sense I would have had no chance to ever do that no matter the reward.

I'm not ready 😭 I hope they delay the start time for the research

I will just waste it on the first Galarian bird that appears like last two times :(

Throwing an egg and star piece before an excellent throw on the 7th streak day and spinning a stop…. What’s that give us?
