Should I use the Masterball to catch Reshiram/Zekrom?

Question

I can't catch him with any other kind of Pokeball so should I use the Masterball?

Answer 1

Actually Reshiram and Zekrom have much better catch rates than normal legendaries (45 as opposed to 3). So they should be fairly easy. I caught mine in a Quick Ball (thrown on the first turn), but otherwise just get their HP down low as usual and try Ultra Balls.

You should save a Masterball for Thundurus/Tornadus who is roaming and generally annoying to catch. You can get a second Masterball when you have done 50 trades over the GTS.

He has black, so it's tornadous.

You caught it in a Quick Ball?!  You truly are the Pokemaster.

I also caught mine with a quick ball!
I even caught Zekrom in B2 with a quick ball,on a critical catch.
