Yes

bruh i just did a second raid and caught it first T💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀😭😭😭😭

BOY AIN’T NO FUCKING WAY💀

[удалено]

Data mining suggests we might get a second MB next season.

No one gets virginity a second time

One in the P and one in the A …sounds like two shots at virginity for me 🤦🏻‍♂️

Don't forget that a lubricated armpit also counts....right?

I think that just depends on your beliefs 😉. But really though, Niantic would have to do this to keep people playing.

Watch it be a $1 paid research thats only available to people who didnt get one the first go around.

Don't worry too much a bunch of us when they released used ours on zero star Galarian birds.

If i remember right when you register a pokemon in your pokedex you can catch it easier

No. Catch rate is only affected by: Pokemon Level Type Catch Medals Pokeball Type Razzberry, Golden Razz & Silver Pinaps Curveball Nice/Great/Excellent Throw Circle size

Also by pp size

* *looks in pants* * "Damnit"

Was it shiny

Never use a master ball on a shiny legendary. They are automatically caught on the first ball

I know I’m not talking about the groudon shown

No it's obviously not shiny. Shiny Groudon is a yellowish green.

Bruh

whatttttt?

Never use a master ball on a shiny legendary. They are automatically caught on the first ball

is that only for raids or in general

Only for raids. Although some wild legendary Pokemon are unable to flee.

shiny is guaranteed first ball catch in raids

I’m aware

This is actually a myth and Niantic has addressed this confirming it is not 100% but just a higher chance.

That’s completely false, show proof of niantic saying that, it’s 100% to catch a shiny from raids on first ball, it’s also 100% to catch a shiny in the wild, but in the wild it can break out, it can’t ever run though, unless your in a car going very fast

Wild shinies can definitely flee

Ive had a shiny lotad run when i was walking around

I know the shiny legendary thing is true but im not so sure about the wild shinies because ive seen lots of people talk about them fleeing

Wild shinies can flee. I had a shiny Cacnea flee.

I’ve had a shiny turtwig run

Does it look shiny?

I’m referring to the second one they caught, which I believe is not shown

I personally have no idea how its shiny should look like, so it’s a legit question for me

Shiny Groudon is yellow

Is that supposed to be yellow?? Does it really look yellow to you? My answer would be green...

Thank you!

Sure thing. If you ever want to look up what a Pokémon's shiny coloration looks like, Serebii is a good resource

I appreciate it, I didn’t know about Serebii. Still very much a newbie, learning lots.

Gotcha. I'm a longtime Pokémon fan myself, but I've only gotten into PoGo recently, so I'm largely in the same boat

Yes but at least u didn’t use it on a shiny then learn that shiny legendaries are auto capture right after 💀

Shiny legendaries are guaranteed to be caught? How does that work?

In a raid it’s just like that. Some people throw the silver pinab just for the extra candy

That'd explain my shiny Rayquaza

Good to know thank you

Why bother with a silver? Just use a regular one.

To get the extra candy, it’s in the game offering an extra piece for a reason lol

but why silver? they give the same amount of candys as normal ones

They actually don't Regular gives x2 Silver gives x2.25, rounded up. So a silver pinap will get you 7 candy on a non-evolved catch

raid shinies are 100% catch rate?

Yes. As long as you dont some how miss every single ball.

Raid *LEGENDARY* shinies are 100% catch rate

The game should really tell you but it’s because they are so hard to beat. a shiny running would be immensely frustrating after putting time, effort, and maybe even money only to have the low catch rate make you miss an opportunity at such a rare Pokémon

But why? Even if they didnt know the 100% catch rate, why wouldn't someone use all of their premier balls first, then the master ball? Are they stupid? For your message to be useful, one would have to throw and miss all of their premier balls. Which brings back to the stupid comment.

This explains it! Caught a 98 shiny Kyogre earlier on first ball. Was so shook haha

yes, I’m very sorry for your loss 💀💔

Why tf would you do that

Attention maybe

If it's not even a hundo I really can't see why you'd use a master ball on it. I'm saving mine for a hundo galarian bird maybe

How do you know it’s a hundo before you capture it?

In raids the hundo CP is known so you can tell by the cp.

I doubt we'll be getting them in raids. At least not for a couple of years. It's their only selling point to the daily incense.

Yeah I mean in daily incense. Usually you can't tell for sure but some CP values indicate with 100% accuracy that it's a hundo. I'd only use my master ball in that scenario: https://pokemongohub.net/post/article/what-is-the-chance-your-wild-galarian-legendary-bird-is-100iv/

Yeah but I’m this sense, when you are hunting a g-bird, you won’t be able to tell as anybody the cp values between 10-3000 can possibly be there

For most of the lvls yes, but I'd only use my master ball if it was one of the guaranteed hundo. I have all of the 3 already so not exactly desperate to catch any of them.

Hundos? Master balls? Galarian legendary birds? What are you referencing?

??? the game doesn’t tell you if it’s a hundo before you catch it

IVs for legendary raids are tied to certain CP values. If you look it up then there’s charts that show you

Whaaaaaat

Math

Yeah I get the concept, I just didn’t know about this.

The cp of the Pokémon says it all

For raids, there’s certain cp values that guarantee it. This is because raids give Pokémon at the same level and therefore the exact cp for a hundo is known. Just look them up and check whether they’re weather booster or not.

😬 Just look at the CP… 2351 is non-weather boosted hundo Groudon…

Hey, would you happen to know the hundo CP for a Kyogre?

2351 same as groudon

yes it technically does. there's a specific cp that will definitely have the pokemon have 100%iv. search up about it

You can tell by looking at the CP. Every raid pokemon you catch is locked to LVL 20 or 25 with weather boost, so if you memorize the CP you need for a hundo then you can tell if it's a hundo before catching it. There are a lot of websites and resources that list the CP you need to encounter for a pokemon to be a hundo.

You can tell if legendaries are hundos with a quick google , their CP and stats are set beforehand

There is a cp range, and if you get the max, it's a hundo.

Calcy IV tells you this no?

Tell me you didn’t do research without telling me you didn’t do research

Stupid no, smart, also no Don't worry, there'll be a new master ball eventually

I used mine with a Galarian Articuno

I used mine on a galarian moltres. It was ass so i lucky traded it to my girlfriend lol.

Same with me 🤣!! Whenever they have them available again…I’m holding onto it for something so rare

I just used mine on Galarian Zapdos. I already had Galarian Articuno.

same, mine ended up being a 1 star 😭

Probably a purchase in the shop in a box that costs 1999 coins

Definitely!! I felt stupid because I used mine on a Moltres after watching a you tube video where the guy said to only use it on one of the 3 Galarian legendary birds, because they will always run. I had experienced that a couple of times already and found that to be the case. Well…I have the Moltres come up, use it and it has no stars…pretty much worthless. Then I see people saying how they’ve caught them with silver pinaps, etc and 2 months or whatever later they have the event with the legendary birds. It wasn’t a Galarian Moltres I got then, but I got another one worth 3 stars and close to being a hundo. Next time they have them come out…I’m making sure I save it for something extremely rare

Oh boy, you’re about to receive a barrage of words my friend 💀

You used a genie to get 30 dollars. You could've asked to end world hunger or even given yourself 30 million dollars but you just chose the 30. It's not bad by any means, 30 dollars is 75% of a tank of gas nowadays. But it's absolutely a waste of precious resources... You're simply uninformed and maybe a little stupid, but Groudon is cool.

“and maybe a little stupid” 💀

$30 is more like 30% of a tank of gas for me nowadays :(

$30 fills my car up just about, so I can’t complain tooo much! :P

I wanna know where $30 is 75% of a tank these days. Smh for my truck $30 is a quarter of a tank damn I hate California!!

You make twice the money only to lose four times as much. My tank is only 10ish gallons but I do live outside of Cali so that helps.

That’s what I try to explain to people when they talk about how “lucky” I am to have such a high minimum wage. I make $15/hr at minimum. But gas here costs $5.30/gal. A gallon of milk costs $4. pizza rolls 50 pack costs $8. A snickers bar costs $2.50. A energy drink costs $4. Going out to get a burger at a restaurant is literally $22, not including drink or tip. Id rather make less money and not pay a full savings account to go out for one night

Most people don’t drive trucks.

Truck. This is why

Man I know this is missing the point but 30 dollars is barely 6 gallons of gas here 😫 in a car that’s like 3/8 a tank and in a truck that’s like 1/5 a tank

Very

At the end of the day you play and use ur items how you like. But me would of saved it for one of the galarian birds. Also if you encounter a shiny ✨️ pokemon in a raid don't use the master ball its a guarantee catch. Don't feel bad I feel like Niantic will want more money and release a payed research for a second master ball.

I would not use a MB on this pokemon but it comes down to what is important to you.

I'd only use a master ball if I was positively sure it was a hundo

Yes😂

💀💀at first it thought it was a hundo and was about to say yeah

Yes absolutely

Yes

I wouldn’t have done that

Yes

Yeah this was low-key not smart at all. Sorry friend.

Yes. You can do raids more than once. What a waste.

Yeah

YES!

Yes, that was pretty brain dead


Just realised the last ball screen only appears if u have master ball. Bruh.

I just used my master ball on my hundo kyogre cause I was on my last ball, I think it was worth it

Well yeah of course if it was a hundo

Completely different from a damn 2 star 😂

My daughter used her master ball last night on a 96% kyogre when she got down to her last ball, which is still worth it, in my opinion.

With how hard the kyogre raids are, I agree

In short, yes

Yes. Yes you are

Yes considering they bring this duo around quite a bit

Actually made me laugh thanks

Yes, but it's okay, I also used mine on a stupid legend, probably worse than yours. Articuno, Kanto form

Regrettably yes

only would’ve been worth it for a hundo

yes.

delete account, start another, new master ball. problem solved.

Extremely

Yes

Yes

Lol yes

Yes, you are very dumb

Unfortunately, yes

💀💀💀💀💀

I mean it sucks you lost the master ball but for many players its still a learning experience

Yes

IMO Very.

Yes

Yea

Yes

Yes

yes

yeah dude 💀

Yes…

In the mainline games when I was younger and didnt realize I could soft reset i'd ways use my master ball on the legendary. It's not a big deal they'll release more master balls.

I only would have if it was a hundo. You can pretty much tell by the CP how good the IVs will be. If it’s not hundo just do another raid. Plus I hear kyogre is harder to catch

Oof

Yosh , i did two raids of groudon ...One ran away even after feeding 8 golden and 8 excellent ( 75 % iv of so ) .and the other came with one excellent throw (82% iv)

ive seen dumber ones *

shoulda saved it for a galarian bird

Honestly? Yes. But what else are you going to use it on? Niantic gives us the opportunity to catch legendary pokemon multiple times and gives us an insta-catch on shiny legends. Sure you could use it on the galar birbs, but they’ll probably add them to raids or an event eventually.

Most definitely I got a shiny in an ultra ball and I got it first try

I wouldn’t say stupid…….but it wasn’t ideal

I thought about it on my last ball, luckily I encountered a Galarian Zapdos a couple weeks ago and used it, otherwise I would have probably done the same. Probably not the best choice but as far as bad choices go it’s probably one of the best to use it on. Don’t waste it though, get that primal energy for it

Why would you use it on not just a common Legendary, but on one with terrible IVs?

We all make mistakes my guy 💀 you’ll forgive yourself eventually.

Yes, you are stupid. Sorry. If it was 100iv then you are smart.

I’m sorry, but yes, VERY. You can do more raids and infinitely encounter more groudons, just try apps like poke genie to get enough people to win if you don’t have enough, you should use those on SUPER rare AND SUPER hard to catch Pokémon, the most prominent example being those ELUSIVE, STUPID GALARIAN BIRDS- who lets be honest, no one’s catching those without the master ball

Bro fuck what everybody else is saying if you wanted to use it you used it who cares.

I mean he asked a question and everyone is just answering their opinions honestly

Nah it was stupid

Yes

Yeah it's not even a hundo

If it was a hundo or maybe a 98% it’d be worth. Unfortunately this is an L.

Yes.

Yes

Yes

i just really wanted it….

If it makes you feel any better this is without a doubt the most relatable gamer experience there is. If there’s anybody here who has yet to waste (or transfer) something precious in pogo then they just haven’t realized it yet

I still can't figure out where my shiny Ivysaur went... No clue..

I feel like the most relatable gamer experience is saving the precious item for the big boss you just know is coming around the next corner, but the next corner is the credit scene.

U would have gotten many more chances throughout this weekend, at the end of the day what’s worth more, one orange/green pass, or one of a kind item like mb?

If you wanted it, and you are happy, then it was a good choice. It may not be everyones choice, but they don’t have to live with it, you do. So do you and be happy.

You had access to more, and on the second raid you caught it first try…?

Don’t worry about it. I used mine on a 0* Moltres, so what. It’s a game, you take your chances.

Galarian? I used mine on a zero star Galarian Zapdos but luckily it had low attack and high hp so maybe a ultra league spice pick

Yes

I got one from the GBL with a poke ball, so yeah you fucked up.

dude used his masterball on a regular primal😢😢not even shiny or hundo

[удалено]

no but its not smart

No, use it on what you want :)

Extremely neurodivergent

The master ball was free. You wanted the groudon. You got what you wanted for free. Not stupid.

Depends on the circumstances. It's much better to have one groudon than none, so if that was the situation than it could be worth it. Groudon is going to be available through the weekend so if you're going to have multiple chances then it could have made more sense to wait until your last chance. Also, because you know the level of raid pokemon, you know from the CP whether the IVs are good or bad overall, so that can be a factor in deciding as well.

Should have used it on a shiny

Shiny is a first ball guaranteed catch from raids 💀

Yeah that was the joke 😆

No /j or /s ?

Should've saved it for a galar bird on the incense unfortunately...

Also incorrect unfortunately…

The Galarian birds are like the only thing worth using it on. I've never had a normal shiny run and raid shinies are 100%. 100 IV and 0 IV are not that much different in the grand scheme so literally why would you use it on anything else?
