What are the best Pokemon to use your Masterball on in Pokemon GO?

You might be tempted to use your Masterball on a Shiny Legendary or Mythical Pokemon. It is advisable not to waste your Masterball on these monsters as they will never flee from you and have a 100% catch rate.

Furthermore, make sure you know which monster you have as your active Buddy Pokemon as Zorua can disguise itself as them in the wild. If you have a Shiny Pokemon as your Buddy, you would not want to waste your Masterball on a proxy encounter.

However, the Pokemon worthy of your Masterball are the Galarian Legendary birds and 100% IV Legendary or Mythical Pokemon.
