I just capture Mewtwo in HeartGold with the masterball I got from Elm, as well as the one I had in White on Kyurem. DId I use them right, or do I need to start trading for hopes to get the another one?
Master Ball
A Poke Ball that can capture any Pokemon without fail.
Which Pokemon NEEDS to be MasterBall'd?
Most pokemon of that rarity have the same catch chance. There's a forumula you can look up on Bulbapedia, but basically no. You don't need it for anything but even in the best circumstances it can be difficult to catch some pokemon without one.
Just use the item duping trick. You cruise up and down the coast with any swim able Pokemon until the glitchey Pokemon Missing No. (it will be obvious as it looks like a graphical glitch, almost like a QR code actually). I forget the exact trick, but you can then get unlimited master balls!
@SilverZeo: The encounter rate is really low, but there are certain ways to boost it. In Black and White 2, they have an item that increases the shiny rate if you complete the national dex. Seems like a really nice reward. Honestly, I've only ever seen one shiny in my years of playing Pokemon games. I got a shiny Woobat in White, It was an easy catch with an ultra ball, so I didn't need to resort to the master.
Honestly, I don't really see much use for a master ball. All the legendaries are perfectly catchable with a good battle strategy, ultra balls and patience. I'd save it for if you ever encountered a difficult to catch shiny, like maybe a roaming legendary or something like an Abra that runs away.
@yami4ct: Yeah, but I'm trying to practial... I acciendtialy "flung" my Lucky Coin item in White, so it's lost forever, meaning less Zenny or whatever the currency for Ultraballs, Timerballs, Quickballs, RepeatBalls, and all those other advantage balls. I know people have capture Mewtwo with things less than than a masterball, but still, the likely hood of the outcome of an event is still the same no matter how many times you try it. You can flip a coin, and though the chances are 50/50 be it heads or tails, it can still land on the same side 20 times in a row.
What I am asking is this: If I was to use a Masterball, like my only one that I have and NOT use a cheat to get more, did the Pokemon I used it on be worth it. I mean, I still haven't caught that 3rd Legendary Weather Pokemon yet, who appears when you have the 2 together at the shrine. Is he hard to capture? I pretty much captured ALL the Legendary Birds, Dogs, Latias, and, just under 2 years of playing (most the years on hiatus), Mewtwo.... oh crud,,, just remember the whole Cliff Shrine after the battle Red.... and the whole Ruin of Alph secret...

As someone who vividly remembers sitting on the playground in 5th grade, duping master balls; I am aware. It was a joke.
