A Pokemon Go fan who misused their Master Ball on an already guaranteed catch lamented the blunder, garnering sympathy from fellow Trainers. The disastrous mishap occurred when the player, having battled and defeated Moltres in a Raid, scored an encounter with a Shiny variant of the Gen 1 Legendary bird.
