I caught one in my latest run of Inclement Emerald, having never played a game past gen 5 before. I was at first turned off by its appearance but decided to use it anyway and its an absolute beast
I have two theories about why Surskit didn't go for Bubble 1- Viola isn't programmed with Highest AI level, which is weird since she is a gym leader 2- Bubble has a 10% chance to lower your speed. We've seen a lot of times how AI chooses to use lowering speed moves only if the opponent is faster, regardless of this move being an actual attacking move, and since your Rhyhorn was slower than Surskit, she chooses to not use Bubble.
you might me be right but i also heard that the AI (atleast on set mode) choses always a move that one hits the enemy because it knows it but if it calculates that none of the moves can one hit (without crits which are (random)) it choses a random move
@@supremeguy8963 nah it's not like that. In the vast majority of cases, AI chooses the move that does the most amount of damage, If there's more moves that does the most damage or similar amount, then AI chooses between them randomly
The speed control thing is actually a myth, they might prefer to go for other moves if the move can GUARANTEE speed control but it doesn’t actually prevent them from using that move. FlygonHG’s many runs of Rock-weak Pokemon in Gen III prove this. The actual reason why Surskit went for water sport is because it’s considered a setup move, and high AI levels prefer to use setup moves on the first turn
I think that once all of the types have been done for a hard-core nuzlocke it would be kinda cool to instead have a team that is weak to a specific type. (I.e. having a team full of pokemon weak to water.)
After all the types are done, I would love to see a type lockout. You only get to use each type on a Pokemon once, meaning dual types use up both of its typings. I tried one recently and it was fun to prioritise which Pokemon would be the best choices for each type
Honestly these videos make my day when I see them. From working 40 hours a week on a construction site to come home, lose my mind playing Elden Ring, these videos are the most needed breaks I can get. Thank you Axel for all of them ❤️
Antlerboy, my boyfriend introduced me to your channel and we binged them all. he passed away this past weekend and I just want to say thank you for the content.Now every video I will watch with him in my heart
@@emsmx3690 ohhh how I wish the absolute most horrific and tragic thing that has ever happened to me was just "cap." never say anything like that again, completely disrespectful. I posted this comment right after he passed. it's been 8 months and I'm still not the same. you're an asshole
You actually inspired me to start (and actually finish after 3 resets) my first shield nuzlocke! Thank you for being such an inspiration, and keep up the great work!
Hey, just want to say, I've been binge watching all your hardcore nuzlockes and you've never failed to entertain and make me laugh. My humor is on par with you. It's great. Also, thank you for being a great person with these high quality vids
Ok, hear me out. I am not 100% certain on this, but my friend does rom hacks and he told me the first gym has this weird mechanic imbued into it that makes the early game “less aggressive” and encourages new players to finish the game. How exactly does it work? Idk, but it definitely explains the dumb decisions by the AI. Imo nintendo probably read the complaints about gen 5 being too hard and decided to make gen 6 easier.
A point of note during the Korrina fight, Feint is actually a priority move (it bypasses Protect and Detect) which is likely why she used it after you dropped her Speed.
Rock is such an underrated type and honestly I love amaura but my favourite rock type? Deffo aggron it's a big wall but in one dex entry its been known to replant forests after disaster
I really love how you write and read your scripts. That's mostly why I watch your videos, it's great, and that why I only watch you and a few other pokemon youtubers. It's really entertaining!
I love watching these videos cuz I never strategized when I played these games and now watching people who actually strategically play I now know I probably could’ve swept thru these games 😂😂😂
Tyranitar is my favorite Rock type and to think you would nickname this one in the run after my number one favorite band, Aerosmith. I'm glad you kept Tyranitar alive to the end!
That poor, poor Crustle. With that said, it's great too see Crustle being used in these nuzlockes. When I first saw it years ago, I thought it was dumb as all hell. But after watching him being used time and time again, I have a new fond respect for the little bug that could
Ive had a horrible day but your commentary honestly helps so much, a great voice for this and good at the Nuzlocke part too. You also got me onto Keegan J's channel hes hilarious too. Thanks
I’m surprised you didn’t use Aerodactyl since it’s a fast Rock Type Pokémon,it could help you deal somewhat better against Korrina and Ramos not to mention you can find the Old Amber after you rescue the scientist and gain Rock Smash and after you revive it you can recieve the Aerodactylite immediately afterward by talking to one of the scientists thus giving you a Mega Evolution and a massive power boost
Tyrantrum hands down for me. It's a freakin' t-rex! But actually your videos have inspired me to do these single type runs. No nuzlocke since I'm playing then in Inclement Emerald, but very challenging still!
Suraskit didn't see a kill with bubble, somehow, so it randomized the moves and landed on quick attack. After since your hp had not changed it randomized again to water sport.
"and I figured I could live a bite" Me: HAHA never making that mistake again, can't tell you how many times I went "oh yeah, he's rock. He should be able to live this attack" *tyrunt dies*
I'm imagining that the Ryhorn you start with is the child of the Mom's Rhyhorn, determined to live up to the expectations of his awesome race-rhyhorn father
@ 1:48 It’s a common thing across the generations that if the AI has a move that can KO, it will use a random move instead, so you got the 3/4 chance it didn’t end your run before it began.
15:37 aaaaand this is why Rock is my least favorite type! I don't hate it, heck I adore Arceops, Carracosta, and Crustle(all of which helped me thru my first Unova playthru), it's just the inaccurate moves(and if they're fully accurate they're less than 60 base power), hella weaknesses, and poor speed that doesn't vibe with me. And they're super effective against Bug which is my favorite type so :^)
Hey!! U are really good at these nuzlockes, and u inspired me to actually play a pokémon sword poison types only, and I think it's a really good and underrated type. It's been a while since u have done one, so, why don't u play poison next? As a suggestion Love ur videos!
have you tried Pokemon Emerald Rogue? its a romhack that turns Pokemon Emerald into a randomly generated roguelike RPG. Trainers, wild Pokemon, gyms, all generate as you play and levels scale accordingly. looks pretty and i would love to see you play it
I’d love to know why Viola’s Surskit never went for Bubble too. But I’d also like to know how sweeping your potential stepdad with just one move helps him to prepare to become a stepdad.
What's your favorite Rock Type? Obvious Tyranitar for me, Tyrantrum being in very close second!
I don't know why I like probopass so much
Rhydon dess nuts
Tyrantrum is based af bruh
My fav has to be Ttar (tyranitar) or crustle
Tyranitar,Aerodactyl,and Aurorus
3:32 The little hated Binacle managed to deal with 5 out of the 6 members in Diantha's team.

After all the types are done, I would love to see a type lockout. You only get to use each type on a Pokemon once, meaning dual types use up both of its typings. I tried one recently and it was fun to prioritise which Pokemon would be the best choices for each type
How about a team with only quad weak types, like rock and ground, steel and bug, grass and bug, dark and fighting, and etc...
He already did all the types 😅
@@geminibuffalo924 I think you misunderstood what he meant. The point is he can only use each type once in a single nuzlocke.

That Aerosmith rock slide sequence was incredible, just though you should know haha

Great video! Only complaint/tip! You could’ve used probopass against Clemont, who’s neutral to mirror shot! You might not have lost gigalith!

Maybe counts as dupes clause as you revive it in the same place as tyrunt
@@jamesmorrison8084 But their different Pokémon entirely
@@martinsoto6146 however, they still count as found in the exact same place; hence, only one mon from the scientist
As soon as I saw "Journey" I knew we were doing musical rock groups.

@@Amelia4111 It was a typo, sent the comment on my phone.
I just wish x and y were a bit more challenging, or had a challenge mode, because all the Pokémon they introduced from this Gen are iconic.
When you started to talk about balls, I thought: „Great… another Manscaped ad.“. Thank Arceus it wasn’t!
"and I figured I could live a bite"
Me: HAHA never making that mistake again, can't tell you how many times I went "oh yeah, he's rock. He should be able to live this attack" *tyrunt dies*
