    In my first run of Pokemon Ruby, I used a Master Ball on Groudon. I was forced to be creative in catching Rayquaza (Pokeball) and Latios (Net Ball)

        You didn’t think to save the one Master Ball, that you were specifically told there was only one of, for a Pokemon that doesn’t respawn.

        I mean saving it for Snorlax I could understand if you don’t know about the legendaries later but this is next level

          I have a Snorlax in a Masterball somewhere, and I can attest - it also felt bad to get to Zapdos and try to use “REST” to make up for not having a Masterball. Lol.

            …Wouldn’t it make more sense to just catch a Spearow

            I typically never catch evolved forms unless it’s a situation where I legitimately didn’t realize “X evolves into Y”

            Admittedly it was the first gen, it didn’t occour to me that Metapod was a cocoon for Caterpie until I heard about someone who had a Metapod that knew Tackle and Stringshot…

            Still it is a mistake I sometimes make, recently caught a Floette in Violet, not realizing it evolves from Flabebe

      I learned that lesson on a Snorlax, and so I have not thrown a Masterball since. Sure, I’ve got a complete Pokedex, and this appears to be a perfect stats shiny legendary, but that’s no reason for me to waste a Masterball.
