IN Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreenThe Master Ball allows trainers to catch any Pokemon in the entire game with a 100% guarantee, provided of course that it is not owned by another trainer. However, since there is only one Master Ball per save, players are often unsure which Pokémon to catch with the Master Ball.
Legendary Pokemon are the obvious choice as they have the lowest catch rate (0.4% at full health) in the entire game. However, there is still only one Master Ball and it can encounter many Legendary players during gameplay. Choosing just one requires careful consideration and consideration of the pros and cons of each choice. This article describes all the Pokemon that deserve to be caught with the Master Ball and where to find them.
The Strongest Pokemon in FireRed & LeafGreen (and Where to Find Them)
Want to find the strongest Pokemon in FireRed & LeafGreen? Here is a list of the most powerful species in the game.
Zapdos, Articuno and Moltres
Legendary Birds of Kanto
They are the three legendary birds Kanto, Zapdos, Articuno and Moltres the very first in which Legendaries players can meet Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen. In fact, if trainers know the exact location to find these birds, they can be caught very early in the game.
Zapdos and Articuno can be found right after players gain the ability to use HM03 Surf outside of battle, while Moltres can be encountered once trainers gain access to the Sevii Islands after defeating Cinnabar Gym. Since the gyms after Koga can be cleared in any order, this means that the Sevii Islands are within reach almost as soon as players get their hands on Surf.
As a result, Zapdos, Articuno, and Moltres can be encountered when the bulk of the Pokémon on the team are level 30 or lower, right after the Master Ball is obtained and before players even get the option to purchase Ultra Balls.
Since these legendary birds are all level 50 Pokemon, it's almost impossible to catch them with regular Poke Balls/Great Balls and a team of sub-level Pokemon without spending an inordinate amount of time soft resetting. because of that Using a Master Ball to capture Zapdos, Articuno, or Moltres is a great way to add a high level pokemon to your team very early in the game.so the rest of the gameplay will be a breeze.
Pokemon with the Flash Fire ability, such as Arcanine, Ninetales, Rapidash, Houndoom, and Flareon, are immune to all of Moltres' attacks (since they're all Fire-type moves), making them indestructible tanks that make them easy to capture.

The best strategy for catching Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen is unfortunately an exclusive version
Shiny hunting in Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen is always at full odds, but the best trick you can use is exclusive to one version.
Ho-Oh, Lugia and Mewtwo
Level 70 Legendary Trio
IN Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreenHo-Oh, Lugia and Mewtwo are in the same boat in terms of how hard they are to catch. There are two main factors that make these three more difficult to catch than some other Legendary Pokemon players may find in them Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreenjustifying the use of the Master Ball:
- Level 70: All three Pokémon are level 70 when players start their encounters in their respective locations, making it extremely difficult to find a team of properly balanced Pokémon to withstand their attacks as players try to catch them.
- Restore: Ho-Oh, Lugia, and Mewtwo all know how to recover Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreenwhich is a self-healing move that restores 50% of the user's maximum HP. IN FRLGRecover has a PP of 20, meaning these Pokémon can effectively self-heal half their HP 20 times during battle, making it very difficult to keep their HP bar in the red to maximize capture chances.
Additionally, Ho-Oh, Lugia, and Mewtwo also have a very low 0.4% catch rate (at full health). Although this is the same catch rate as most other legendary Pokemon FRLGthe difficulty of capture is compounded when other factors are taken into account.
Location of Ho-Oh, Lugia and Mewtwo
- Ho-Oh and Lugia both are located at Navel Rock, accessible with a Mystic Ticket at any ferry station. In the Switch version Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreenThe Mystic Ticket is unlocked automatically after trainers become a champion.
- Mewtwo located in the depths of Cerulean Cave near Cerulean City, accessible after becoming a champion, unlocking the National Dex, and delivering the Sapphire and Ruby to Celio on One Island.
This is the ultimate team for Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen, from badges to endgame
If you are wondering what is the best team in Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen, these 6 Pokemon are the best choice.
Raikou, Entei and Suicune
Wandering legendary dogs
Depending on what starting trainers they choose at the start Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreenthey will be able to meet one of the three legendary dogs of Johto, Raikou, Entei and Suicune after the game. Which of the three stray dogs appear in the player's game depends entirely on which starter they chose. Trainers can only encounter one of them per save.
- Charmander: Suicune
- Squirtle: Raikou
- Bulbasaur: Entei
In the original version Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreenRaikou and Entei's encounters were eavesdropped, so if either of them used the Roar move during battle, the game would treat them as losers and disappear from the game forever, so they couldn't re-encounter from a given save.
Although the Roaming Roar bug was fixed in the Switch version FRLGit's still worth reserving a Master Ball for these roaming legends because unlike other legends, Raikou, Entei, and Suicune always try to escape at every opportunity.
Additionally, encounters with dogs can happen anywhere in the game and can often be a surprise to the player. If things don't go as planned and they die in battle, they will be lost forever. If players are lucky and have a recent save to reload from, this isn't a problem, but if they aren't, these encounters can go badly.
Locations of Raikou, Entei and Suicune
Raikou, Entei, and Suicune will start appearing randomly in locations where trainers can encounter wild Pokémon after players defeat the Elite Four, become champions, unlock the National Dex, deliver Sapphire and Ruby Celio on one island, and cleanse the Sevii Islands of Team Rocket's influence.
Once the prerequisites are met, the easiest way to encounter a wandering legendary dog is as follows:
-
Go to the low level area with the grass patch that is near the building (Route 2 south of Pewter City is good for this).
-
Place a Pokémon that is below level 50 as the party leader, but it must be higher level than the Pokémon found in the area by default.
-
Use Max Repel.
-
Run across a patch of grass.
-
If nothing happens, enter a nearby building, leave and try again.
-
If you encounter one, it will be a Legendary Dog.

Any Shiny Legendary Pokemon
Reserve a Master Ball for a legendary Pokemon hunter
Shiny hunting legends is a lengthy and time-consuming process Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen. If players are unlucky, it can take literally thousands of resets before the shiny version of the legendary Pokemon they're looking for appears.
While most players who are in the shiny stage of hunting legendary Pokemon are well prepared, with plenty of Ultra Balls, a good tank to sustain, and a decent strategy for invoking the status effect and lowering the target's HP, success is by no means guaranteed. It is very possible for things to go wrong during the capture phase of a shiny hunt due to unpredictable factors.
because of that keeping a Master Ball in reserve as a backup when hunting legendaries is one of the best uses for this item. It's a panic button that players can press at any time if they run out of Ultra Balls, if a Legendary Pokémon is about to destroy their team, or if for some reason it gets within KO range.
