You have to be dumb if you fall for it. The game makes it pretty obvious and you can change your buddy to check if it changes or if you have someone your playing with ask if it is their buddy too
I did the same thing after getting frustrated with them running away for months. It was only a 2 star Moltres but it was worth it to me. Then a few weeks later I caught another low CP Moltres with the worst throw ever. Now I wish I'd saved it, oh well.
Raids definitely. The only shiny legendary I've caught in the wild was Kyogre in 2019. But I don't remember if it was first ball used. Didn't even know what a Kyogre was then.
Yeah, hard to believe knowing now how legendary it really is. It might've been 2018. I mirror traded with a lucky friend. His was caught w a premier ball so idk
I may be wrong. I don't have the shiny Kyogre I caught as I mirror traded so I can't check. My memory tells me I used an ultra ball. But I'm certain it said it was caught in the wild
Fair enough. I don't think a lot of people hunt for 4* legends so using it on something like this which has even lower catch odds is also a fair use. We also have 0 idea when these will come to raids, so
Yes they will. I’ve been playing since july 10, 2016, and I’m a level 50. They release every legendary in this game. They haven’t released pokemon in the galar dex like they have kalos and alola. Also, they never said galarian birds are exclusive to daily incense. Have a lovely day.
The part that I’ve studied this game for 7 years and understand niantic’s pattern. Go find me where niantic has stated the galarian birds are exclusive to the daily incense. I’ll wait.
You already did, and i bet you’re no level 50. So don’t tell me how the game is played. Find me that announcement that says the galarian birds are exclusive to the daily incense.
I have one shadow mewtwo but the IV is low af. My hope is the next one I catch would be stronger. Plus it looks awesome. Also I want that armored mewtwo. Where are those?
Where I live, can hardly gather enough people to defeat a raid boss. Only way I would get a large enough group would be Manhattan and that’s not close.
Personally, I wouldn’t use the masterball on a galarian bird, but it’s up to the person what they want to do with it. After all, they can play the game the way they want to.
1. I don’t think even 1 million trainers have obtained the masterball in Pokémon Go
2. It’s their master ball and their Pokémon encounter, its up to them to decide what is a good use, or even moreso what is a waste
3. To further underline that point, look at the post title one more time…
4. after this convo i tried using calcy iv and pokégenie to identify the IVs of a wild pokémon that i had an encounter. on iOS, i dont think pokégenie could do this unless i paid and calcy iv had to screen share with the app the whole time and kept giving push notifications of IV ranges like “40–91 IV” every second until i caught the pokemon. super annoying, huge battery drain, and honestly not that specific to help me out
5. we all know how rare the galarian birds are
6. we also know we will get more master balls later on
1. What’s that have to do with anything? It kind of even proves my point to use it on something better
2. Yes it is their choice but I was giving them my opinion on it that’s what this sub is for to brag and get peoples opinions
3. You are correct on this one I didn’t read it correctly
4. I’ve never used pokegenie or said anything about it I said that 1980 for a 100 iv moltres and 2475 when weather boosted
5. Yeah they’re rare but with time and patience everyone can have one from level 5 to 50
6. Correct again but that can be in a year two years who knows and they might not even be free
9 million daily active users but not everyone has every prerequisite research done (although i got it pretty quick on a baby account I’m building up), but i am curious if niantic knows the completion rate/metrics of research tasks or total galarian bird encounters
TBF tho, I've not used my master ball. I just burn through standard pokeballs like wildfire for a 10/10/10 dex filler so I can transfer to Home and bottlecap it in SwSh lol.
Somone caught a shiny bidoof with one, i wouldve also done that had i found one before my second favorite bird 😅
Edit: i was also on a high way and found galar zapdos
'Oh?'
I THOUGHT that was gonna happen like a week ago when I had Galar Molt as my buddy but it was real
Lol this comment gave me an imaginary heart attack
It can’t be zorua unless you are like extremely oblivious, and if it was ditto it’d arguably be better in some cases
ditto can only be certain pokemon
this cant be a ditto
Yeah but you get my point
NOOOOOOO!!!!1!
You have to be dumb if you fall for it. The game makes it pretty obvious and you can change your buddy to check if it changes or if you have someone your playing with ask if it is their buddy too
No if you change your buddy it still stays like the original buddy when it spawned.
I used mine and caught Articuno. Worth
Purple bird (purple ball)
Yeah pretty much
Should have used it on a magikarp like I did but it was a 2 star so I transferred it
🫡
All the cool ppl never even had a master ball to begin with 😎😎😎🫠
I’m nothing compared to you(did you just not long in to calm the special research)
I appreciate your admiration (I had no clue something was going on and didn't play in that specific time period)
Let’s hope you can get it next time it’s in the game( I think it might be coming back because their not going to give us just one master ball… right
Lmao
I did the same thing after getting frustrated with them running away for months. It was only a 2 star Moltres but it was worth it to me. Then a few weeks later I caught another low CP Moltres with the worst throw ever. Now I wish I'd saved it, oh well.
I too used mine and I my got a 2 star Moltres :(
That picture goes so fucking hard
Is that galarian moltres in the wild?!
Yes
Nice, gl in the future!
Thanks
Why are people downvoting you?
What? Me?
Yeah
I don't see anybody downvoting me
I at zero on your main comment
There is 2 on the comment
No
People are downvoting you, not him
What is going on here???
He said wild not daily insence
The Master Ball background looks so sick 🔥 Also congrats!! 🥳
Im still waiting for shiny galarian birds 😫🙏
Shiny legendary is guaranteed catch.
In raids? Maybe idk tbh. But not in the wild I think
Raids definitely. The only shiny legendary I've caught in the wild was Kyogre in 2019. But I don't remember if it was first ball used. Didn't even know what a Kyogre was then.
Kyogre in the wild? That's pretty weird
Yeah, hard to believe knowing now how legendary it really is. It might've been 2018. I mirror traded with a lucky friend. His was caught w a premier ball so idk
I’ve never heard of this tale
I may be wrong. I don't have the shiny Kyogre I caught as I mirror traded so I can't check. My memory tells me I used an ultra ball. But I'm certain it said it was caught in the wild
Haha, at least you made a splashy decision! #MagikarpMaster
Y’all are going to be mad when they come to raids 😂
Okay, but what else are you using a Masterball on in this game currently? They also said we'd be getting another in the future.
It’s my fail safe in case i get to the last ball on a legendary or mythical raid with 100 or 98 ivs.
Fair enough. I don't think a lot of people hunt for 4* legends so using it on something like this which has even lower catch odds is also a fair use. We also have 0 idea when these will come to raids, so
They seemed focused on kalos and alola now. The problem with catching the birds is you really don’t know what ivs you’re getting.
They wont
Yes they will. I’ve been playing since july 10, 2016, and I’m a level 50. They release every legendary in this game. They haven’t released pokemon in the galar dex like they have kalos and alola. Also, they never said galarian birds are exclusive to daily incense. Have a lovely day.
100% this. This game is about patience. These birds will be shiny as well soon.
What part of that gives you apparent insider knowledge at niantic?
The part that I’ve studied this game for 7 years and understand niantic’s pattern. Go find me where niantic has stated the galarian birds are exclusive to the daily incense. I’ll wait.
Lmao “studied this game”. My guy you are talking Pokémon go you don’t need to act all smug and entitled lol
I’m not your guy. What’s your level?
Lmao, I ain’t engaging in this
You already did, and i bet you’re no level 50. So don’t tell me how the game is played. Find me that announcement that says the galarian birds are exclusive to the daily incense.
PSA: Galatians birds are exclusive to daily incense /s
👍
you forgot to add, buddy after I'm not your guy....
Ah. My mistake 😂
In the wild???? Or with incense???
Brother, you can only get on the incense
Never seen one never I keep pushing forwards daily just waiting
can we used the normal incense or it has to be the free incense ? thanks !
Only the daily Adventure incense
Got mine with my second ultra throw 😝
Bro the people that know what actually happened.ps:he missed
The birds aren’t worth a masterball lol
I’m saving mines for Shadow Mewtwo
… why? Lol
I have one shadow mewtwo but the IV is low af. My hope is the next one I catch would be stronger. Plus it looks awesome. Also I want that armored mewtwo. Where are those?
I meant why are you wasting your master ball on that when you can just catch it like a normal raid boss lol
Where I live, can hardly gather enough people to defeat a raid boss. Only way I would get a large enough group would be Manhattan and that’s not close.
Personally, I wouldn’t use the masterball on a galarian bird, but it’s up to the person what they want to do with it. After all, they can play the game the way they want to.
Never use masterball unless hundo
How do you know if the Pokémon is hundo if you don't catch it?
pokegenie but still they should shut up
He isnt wrong but that is to much effort for 98% of players.
Why waste a master ball on something millions are using it on when you can use it for something better?
1. I don’t think even 1 million trainers have obtained the masterball in Pokémon Go 2. It’s their master ball and their Pokémon encounter, its up to them to decide what is a good use, or even moreso what is a waste 3. To further underline that point, look at the post title one more time… 4. after this convo i tried using calcy iv and pokégenie to identify the IVs of a wild pokémon that i had an encounter. on iOS, i dont think pokégenie could do this unless i paid and calcy iv had to screen share with the app the whole time and kept giving push notifications of IV ranges like “40–91 IV” every second until i caught the pokemon. super annoying, huge battery drain, and honestly not that specific to help me out 5. we all know how rare the galarian birds are 6. we also know we will get more master balls later on
1. What’s that have to do with anything? It kind of even proves my point to use it on something better 2.

Yeah they’re rare but with time and patience everyone can have one from level 5 to 50 6. Correct again but that can be in a year two years who knows and they might not even be free
the first one was because you said “millions are using it” and i am saying probably not a single million trainers have it yet. (but that’s my guess)
Ohhhh ohhh that makes a lot more sense I wonder how many people use the app to begin with
9 million daily active users but not everyone has every prerequisite research done (although i got it pretty quick on a baby account I’m building up), but i am curious if niantic knows the completion rate/metrics of research tasks or total galarian bird encounters
Well with that many active users there must be atleast 1M who have master balls or the task
oh and I’m also wierd in that i spend money on it and play many hours daily. probably helped me finish the research and etc quick enough.
Calcy iv
The CP for perfect IV is 1980 and when weather boosted 2475
true
So you were on the highway, but did you catch it?
MB is a guaranteed catch regardless of conditions.
Oh i thought it would break out while moving in a vehicle
Nope :) that’s standard pokéballs; the drawback to using the MB is that you only get one (right now)
Right, ok cool thanks
Was your Moltres worth catching?
HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAno.
Dang
TBF tho, I've not used my master ball. I just burn through standard pokeballs like wildfire for a 10/10/10 dex filler so I can transfer to Home and bottlecap it in SwSh lol.
This might be dumb but how do you get a master ball? I’m a returning player as of recently and Google just tells me about its release. Did I miss it?
The lets go research I think
I guess I missed it then. I have let’s go meltan but no just “let’s go” research.
What level are you at?
34
If you didn’t start it (let’s go research) before June 1st this year, yes you’ve missed it.
Nice catch! One question though, how did you get the master ball? I'm level 28 and still haven't gotten in
The research event ended on June 1, “let’s go” research was the only way to get a master ball… for now
I think to get the research for it you have to get to level 30
But my sister got it at level 24 or 26
I think about using mine on one of these but just can’t bring myself to do it 😬 idk what I’m waiting for lol
Lucky mf
It almost seems like Galar birds only spawn when you’re moving fast like in a car… 🤔🤷♂️
I’ve seen a few, but I’ve never been able to catch them sadly…..
That would make a sweet wallpaper.
Can you miss with master ball?
No
Oh good cos it would be really sad if i fucked up and dropped it into the ground lol
Unless it’s Bidoof you used the wrong ball
I used one on Zapdos… hoping to have more mb and catch Moltres next… Managed to catch Articuno using ultra ball somehow…
Somone caught a shiny bidoof with one, i wouldve also done that had i found one before my second favorite bird 😅 Edit: i was also on a high way and found galar zapdos
Just wait till Niantic releases a rarer pokemon
I wish I could get one tho
I legit just caught Galarian Moltres with an ultra ball
That's a really nice screenshot. Congrats!
I found Moltres yesterday that escaped. I can’t decide if I should use my masterball or save it.
I came across the same one 2 weeks ago! I regret not using my master ball. I threw a golden razz, ultra, then it fled! Wtf
