I had to use the master ball in Platinum when I found a shiny Azelf. It was a really quick hunt, under 100 SRs. I tracked the PP it had left and started to panic when it dropped below 10. I had to use my master ball on it, but there is no way that I am going to shiny hunt any legendaries without a confirmed capture, so I reset the game and soft reseted for a shiny Chimchar. I got that one in 602 SRs. Now I'm working on shiny Spiritomb. Just really dissapointed that I had to transfer my shiny Giratina that I spent over a year and a half getting becuase I had to use my master ball and wasn't going to shiny hunt without one.
