Pokémon Go players have revealed which matchups are worth using their precious Master Balls for, with the community pretty united on which Pokémon everyone should target.
Like most mainline Pokémon titles, Pokémon Go offers a variety of Poké Balls to discover and earn. These items can then be used to help capture Pokémon of all strengths and types.
However, as is the case with Pokémon, some stronger matchups will require special Poké Balls to even have a chance of capturing them. In Pokémon Go, players can find the following types of Poké Balls:
- Poké Ball
- Super Ball
- Hyper Ball
- Master Ball
- Honor Ball
- Ultra Ball
For which Pokémon to keep your Master Ball?
In the world of Pokémon, the Master Ball is the best and rarest one to find and use. Historically, this type of Ball is almost impossible to find, with only one or two Master Balls typically available throughout each round of a given game.

In light of this, Pokémon Go players have taken to Reddit to debate which Pokémon are worth using this precious ball for. After all, using the Master Ball greatly increases the chances of capturing the Pokémon in question. Therefore, saving her for the right matchup is vital.
The thread on Reddit, which now has over 250 comments, is filled with players debating which Pokémon is “worthy”of using the precious Master Ball.
Right off the bat, Pokémon Go players revealed that the Galar forms of legendary birds are often the encounters they save and use their Master Balls for. After all, these rare types of Legendary Pokémon are extremely difficult to capture, with a base escape rate of 90% after the first ball.
One Redditor commented: “The day I decided to use a Master Ball for the next Galar bird I saw was the first day I haven’t seen a Galar bird since.”»
Another Pokémon Go player added: “I still haven’t seen a G bird, so there’s a good chance that when I finally do, I won’t let the f**ker escape.”»
In addition to Galar Birds, many other Pokémon Go players have revealed that they use a Master Ball when battling other rare or shiny Pokémon.
“I save mine for a Legendary Perfect (Hundo) when I’m on the last ball or maybe for a shiny Galar bird. Regular Galar birds aren’t worth it to me but if I ever had the chance to encounter a shiny I would definitely use a Master Ball.»
For those who are new to Pokémon Go and want to know which Pokémon are worth saving their Master Balls for, the community seems to be united on the fact that Galarbirds, shiny or not, are worth taking out the Master Ball for.
