A Pokémon Go player is being both praised and mocked by other fans online for using an incredibly difficult to obtain Master Ball on a Pokémon that has become a meme.

It took several years for them to be integrated, but Pokémon Go finally added Master Balls in 2023. Like the Master Balls in the main Pokémon games, these have a 100% catch rate, guaranteeing you the chance to acquire a Pokémon you encounter.

Those willing to pay can potentially win a Master Ball as part of a Special Study. Many players don’t like paying for a Master Ball, but many do, because this guaranteed catch is incredibly valuable to those seeking a specific type of Pokémon.

The fact that Master Balls are valuable also means that some players like to use them on non-meta or weaker Pokémon and share their exploits online. The most recent example is curious, as a Master Ball was used on a rare but also extremely common Pokémon.

A Pokémon Go player used a valuable Master Ball on a shiny Keunotor

A user on the Pokémon Go Reddit revealed that he used a Master Ball to capture a shiny Keunotor, which is a Pokémon prized for its memetic qualities. This garnered a mixed response from other users in the thread, with some praising the author for his love of Keunotor.

“Okay, it’s not just a Keunotor. It’s a shiny Keunotor. I don’t know what else a sane person would do. What if he escaped?? No. In the presence of a God, you grasp it, yes, you do!” one user wrote.

However, not everyone was so nice as one user said: “What explains the madness of wasting Master Balls?” while another said: “I want to study the brain of anyone who finds this funny.”

While this may seem like a waste of Master Ball, it’s worth mentioning that shiny Pokémon are still rare and still worth adding to your collection. Granted, a Master Ball is better spent on a Legendary or Mythical Pokémon, but a shiny isn’t far behind in value, regardless of the Pokémon.

This isn’t the first time a Pokémon Go player has used a Master Ball on a Keunotor, and it won’t be the last. People love the goofiness of the Keunotor line, and a Master Ball is only as valuable as it’s used, and what better way than to make sure you have a shiny Keunotor in your collection?
