@@orangesilver8 Yes, that is true. I still think that getting to the elite 4 even with all of the calcukators rn is impressive and that Wolfey is an amazing Nuzlocker.

Technically, when you play spin-offs like Pokémon Colosseum, Gale of Darkness, the Mystery Dungeon games, and the Ranger games, you then have games with great stories. You don’t play mainline Pokémon for the stories. But perhaps the worst part about Sword and Shield is that if you aren’t preparing for competitive, you are going to have a horrible time because everything about that game is crafted to be bad no matter how you play or for which reasons you play.

Why can't that be in mainline games. It's the difference between selling 10 million because people will buy any pokemon game and selling 15 million because you've made a good game that even non pomemon fans want to experience.
I would like to see you react to his monotype in diamond, in which he manages to get to elite 4 with only infernape and rapidash. basically a monotype with 2 pokemon only
Monotype nuzlockes can be really interesting in fangames where all mons from all generations are available, you end up with a lot of variety in encounters despite restricting yourself to monotype.
Moral of the story: Gems are broken in Unova. Bring them all back please. Even if the boost is only 1.3x like the post-Gen-5 Normal Gem instead of 1.5x. They're literally in the game's code, even a Fairy Gem. Disappointment in Game Freak out of the way, FlygonHG's run was not at all a disappointment. Best nuzlocker reviewed so far except for maybe Wolfe
A little sidenote: In Castelia City, if you want to catch an Eevee, just grab a level 19 Pokemon, use repel and walk through the grass, both the dark and light grass work. The only encounter that can happen with this setup is an Eevee. Makes it much easier and faster to get one
The thing I love about these monotype nuzlockes is having to come up with extremely specific plans to beat the gyms or hard fights that have an advantage against you. Coming up with smart plans to beat the water and ground gyms are really interesting.
I remember this with my mono Rock run on BW2, I used everything I had in order to minimise the damage I was taking, using Light Screen, Sunny Day and multiple Struggle Bugs, as well as Safeguard. After sacking Onix (the MVP that swept the first 5 gyms, Clay included) to get rocks up, all of the setup allowed Crustle to set up twice on the Wailord despite the Scalds and SpD drops which allowed me to sweep with only the one planned sack. Then you have Skyla who is basically just "set up rocks then haha shell smash".
"Although, to be fair, rival fights against Bianca are not that difficult." This is a factually true statement; however, during my first ever Nuzlocke (I'm still on the same run, actually) in Pokemon Black, I was completely unaware that there was a Bianca fight on Route 8. This normally wouldn't be a problem, since Bianca really isn't a strong trainer; however, at the time it just so happened to be raining in my game. Since I picked Tepig as my starter (best Gen 5 starter btw), Bianca had a Simipour with Scald on her team. Most people, in this fight, would have a very easy switch into Simisage and move on with life. My idiot self left Simisage in the box and brought a team of Emboar, Darmanitan, Krookodile, Carracosta, Fraxure, and Cofagrigus. I thought that there was no way I would run into a trainer with a water type strong enough to break my Fraxure. Even when I saw the Simipour initially, I thought to myself, "That's no problem; my Fraxure has five levels of advantage." The problem? I got burned and crit on switch-in. Now, instead of a good roll for an OHKO with easy 2HKO if not, I was dead to the next hit of Scald. And those who have Nuzlocked B/W should know how huge of an asset Haxorus can be for the Elite 4 and final battles (as I have been quickly learning by doing E4/Team Plasma prep). I quickly pulled up the damage calculator to see if I was in trouble, and (of course) I was. Emboar and Darmanitan were completely helpless, Krookodile could never pick up the OHKO I needed even if I sacked Emboar to bring it in, and Carracosta's bulk was so bad that it would be 2HKO'd (and at the time, I really wasn't sure what my E4 team would look like, so I didn't want to sack it). My only hope was Cofagrigus (and a crap ton of healing items). With the HP EVs I had invested, as well as Cofagrigus's natural bulk, Scald crit into burn damage was never an OHKO. So, I stalled out Bianca's uses of Scald. In the end, my Cofagrigus survived five crits, a second hit burn, and being dropped to 2 HP and put that stupid monkey six feet under. The rest of the fight was a piece of cake, with the rest of my team, but that's one of the few things about my run that has really stuck with me... That and how stupid Bide is and the fond memory of Cress taking away my Lillipup because I just didn't have better death fodder at the time.

Man, watching after one year and mostly just noticing the difference in quality between Flygons videos then and now. One of my favourite content creators!
I love how chat just laughs out load and doesn't not get that it's a joke when Flygon pronounce Arcanine, bet they felt real funny and smart right there xd
When I do Nuzlokes I'm gonna start each video saying "I'm probably the best Nuzloker in the world with over 4 hours of experience." As an homage to you, the guy who made me want to actually do them
after watching this story, I'm imagining this guy's character retiring after becoming champion and setting up his fire-type gym, which would soon become known as the Hell Gym by all trainers trying and failing to get a badge from him in the future...
after weeks of watching jan's content without subscribing, his direct call out to me at the beginning made me finally give in and subscribe. i'm now a part of the cesspool of youtube commenters and viewers that he absolutely despises, but it's for the algorithm so it's ok 🤝
Fun fact for anyone curious, the reason Iris' Haxorus went for dragon dance is because it speed tied with Chandelure, and Gen 5 AI will almost always prioritize speed control over a kill. Also in case anyone's curious for Flygon's Chandelure to be speed tied with max speed EV's it had to have had either a 5 or 6 IV in speed, so at the end of the run all the EV training did in fact save the run.
I did this in Pokemon white not knowing reshiram was a fire type at the time (it was my first time playing gen 5 and it wasn't a nuzlocke) and I just kinda beat down clay with scald embore which I'm as surprised as you are the first time I saw a fire type learn a water type move before volcanion so yeah
The core of these videos is how well Jan can transition to his sponsors. Much like how Core can help transition you into competently creating your very own games without the need to learn code.
What I like about monotype challenges that they are kinda short and not encounter based or good rng based and it shows how much of a stategy you can juice out of a usually small selection of pokemon
Nice! The nuzlocker I respect the most reacting to my favorite nuzlocker! FlygonHG has a lot of monotypes, including a diamond fire only, and is really smart about how he plays
You know how Flint has a bunch of random Pokémon in diamond/pearl? Yeah, he tried this challenge, lost to Cynthia, then caught some random moms to fill out his team.
I actually love watching FlygonHG's challenge runs, between him, Scott's Thoughts, and Jrose11 i honestly can't decide who i like more. They're all extremely adapt at their styles, granted Jrose is almost strictly Gen 1 as is Scott's Thoughts, but still they make stellar content imo
You should react to this guy who did a hardcore platinum run, he made some rookie mistakes but also made some high level plays by grinding up friendship for Pokémon who evolve with max happiness for upcoming gyms.
I love flygonHG and its so cool to see this vid after getting into your channel! dude really has some good skills and 2 years later he's honed them even better, love watching his vids!
@@asdfg3046 1) it's still good practice; 2) just by probability eventually you can get lucky and win even with bad early game encounters; 3) imagine taking youtube comments seriously kekW
for only the fourth nuzlocke Flygon did, this really shows off how analytical he really can be. He fought his way out of hard situations by doing what he needed to do instead od being so hyper focused on the potential downsides of every play and being obsessed with shoring up the downsides. I think that's the biggest thing many beginning nuzlockers have a hard time getting past
The 'you think you're subscribed but you're actually not, go scroll down and subscribe' actually worked on me this time 😂 been watching your videos for the last couple of days and am really enjoying them, subscriber count +1 😄
Fun fact: When I was a kid, I pronounced so many Pokémon wrong, dyslexia didn't help. but my absolute favorite was "Küh-row-guai"... try to guess which Pokémon that was xD
tbh Klefki *is* a poorly designed Pokemon, because yes, it is just a set of keys. That's it. Chandelure is creative because chandeliers often decorate the classic haunted mansions most people are familiar with, so to design a haunted chandelier Pokemon makes sense, as does its typing of Ghost/Fire. Klefki on the other hand, aside from its Steel-typing, doesn't have that sort of background. I guess you could argue that it's a magic set of keys, but it's Pokedex entry doesn't support that, as it states that Klefki just steals keys it likes.
He's both. Watching someone who knows how good they are is a bit tiring cos he's the least modest youtuber i've ever seen, but he's also the best at the game.
Yo I just wanna take this opportunity not only to help that algorithm for Jan, because of course, but also to acknowledge Jan's style. I always love these really pretty floral button downs he rocks. Chef's kiss to that.
Thank you I'm not alone in my love of Chandelure, my friends always bring it up as backup for their Gen one propaganda, but in my favorite pokemon list it placed 10th . The fun I've had with this mon is wild and I actually love the possessed object pokemon Archetype. This one being by far my absolute favorite in that little sub genre of Pokemon.
I myself have only done a few nuzlockes myself, but I've always wondered how a no-setup move run would work out, mid and end game-wise. Since most fights(once you learn what's difficult/what you need setup on/what will punish you for doing it) revolve around setting up as the player's win condition, how exactly does that shape the landscape to remove them from the player's repertoire. Just a thought I would like more experienced nuzlockers to maybe get back to me on :)
What an impressive performance by FlygonHG!

Yeah
I am so happy he is supporting a smaller creator!
Fuck yeah dude
@@weebalo_ I mean flygon is blowing up man off he has to!
YES
A little sidenote: In Castelia City, if you want to catch an Eevee, just grab a level 19 Pokemon, use repel and walk through the grass, both the dark and light grass work. The only encounter that can happen with this setup is an Eevee. Makes it much easier and faster to get one
I remember it like it was yesterday when Jan used to complain about how he sucks at TH-cam intros, and now he has a clean ass sponsor reel
The thing I love about these monotype nuzlockes is having to come up with extremely specific plans to beat the gyms or hard fights that have an advantage against you. Coming up with smart plans to beat the water and ground gyms are really interesting.
I remember this with my mono Rock run on BW2, I used everything I had in order to minimise the damage I was taking, using Light Screen, Sunny Day and multiple Struggle Bugs, as well as Safeguard. After sacking Onix (the MVP that swept the first 5 gyms, Clay included) to get rocks up, all of the setup allowed Crustle to set up twice on the Wailord despite the Scalds and SpD drops which allowed me to sweep with only the one planned sack.
Then you have Skyla who is basically just "set up rocks then haha shell smash".
FHG’s Sinnoh Fire-types only was even crazier. You should check it out sometime!
"Although, to be fair, rival fights against Bianca are not that difficult."
This is a factually true statement; however, during my first ever Nuzlocke (I'm still on the same run, actually) in Pokemon Black, I was completely unaware that there was a Bianca fight on Route 8. This normally wouldn't be a problem, since Bianca really isn't a strong trainer; however, at the time it just so happened to be raining in my game. Since I picked Tepig as my starter (best Gen 5 starter btw), Bianca had a Simipour with Scald on her team. Most people, in this fight, would have a very easy switch into Simisage and move on with life. My idiot self left Simisage in the box and brought a team of Emboar, Darmanitan, Krookodile, Carracosta, Fraxure, and Cofagrigus. I thought that there was no way I would run into a trainer with a water type strong enough to break my Fraxure. Even when I saw the Simipour initially, I thought to myself, "That's no problem; my Fraxure has five levels of advantage."
The problem? I got burned and crit on switch-in. Now, instead of a good roll for an OHKO with easy 2HKO if not, I was dead to the next hit of Scald. And those who have Nuzlocked B/W should know how huge of an asset Haxorus can be for the Elite 4 and final battles (as I have been quickly learning by doing E4/Team Plasma prep). I quickly pulled up the damage calculator to see if I was in trouble, and (of course) I was. Emboar and Darmanitan were completely helpless, Krookodile could never pick up the OHKO I needed even if I sacked Emboar to bring it in, and Carracosta's bulk was so bad that it would be 2HKO'd (and at the time, I really wasn't sure what my E4 team would look like, so I didn't want to sack it). My only hope was Cofagrigus (and a crap ton of healing items). With the HP EVs I had invested, as well as Cofagrigus's natural bulk, Scald crit into burn damage was never an OHKO. So, I stalled out Bianca's uses of Scald. In the end, my Cofagrigus survived five crits, a second hit burn, and being dropped to 2 HP and put that stupid monkey six feet under. The rest of the fight was a piece of cake, with the rest of my team, but that's one of the few things about my run that has really stuck with me...
That and how stupid Bide is and the fond memory of Cress taking away my Lillipup because I just didn't have better death fodder at the time.
After watching the run recently, I’m still shocked he dissed Chandelure.
It's literally my favorite Pokemon, and I've played since Red came out. Back in my day, "poorly designed Pokémon" didn't exist. We loved them all.
@@turntsnaco824 Funny, because it’s usually the older fans that shit on post-gen 4 designs. I don’t mean to start anything, just pointing it out
@@raerohan4241 here you go starting shit again
@@turntsnaco824 Nice referential name
@@raerohan4241 i always find gen wunners that shit on gen 5 to be hilarious.
They'll shit on tepig, but squirtle was literally a blue turtle.
They'll shit on vannilite but voltorb was literally a pokeball with eyes.
They'll shit on klink and his evos, but he's literally just a better designed magnemite/ton. (No shade on zone tho, that dude sick af)
Like, i love pretty much all mon designs, but can we not shit on gen 5 like this lmao?
Flygon: has a master plan to survive against clay.
Sandslash: no
I only now got the fact that Korra replaced Aang in his Nuzlocke just like Korra replaced Aang as the avatar in the show.
Man, watching after one year and mostly just noticing the difference in quality between Flygons videos then and now. One of my favourite content creators!
"pro nuzlocker" has the same energy as "witch finder general"
💀💀💀
I love how chat just laughs out load and doesn't not get that it's a joke when Flygon pronounce Arcanine, bet they felt real funny and smart right there xd
ive been hoping to see jan react to one of flygons runs, nice!
(now do his diamond fire type only nuzlocke lol)
I just finished watching his upload on pchal daily. Infinite content- POG
When I do Nuzlokes I'm gonna start each video saying "I'm probably the best Nuzloker in the world with over 4 hours of experience."
As an homage to you, the guy who made me want to actually do them
same ngl
I would love to see PC react to more of Flygon HG’s runs, especially the nocturnal run he did in HG
after watching this story, I'm imagining this guy's character retiring after becoming champion and setting up his fire-type gym, which would soon become known as the Hell Gym by all trainers trying and failing to get a badge from him in the future...
I love that he named his mons after characters from the fire kingdom in ATLA
Throwing a master ball in that ratatata situation is the best option
after weeks of watching jan's content without subscribing, his direct call out to me at the beginning made me finally give in and subscribe. i'm now a part of the cesspool of youtube commenters and viewers that he absolutely despises, but it's for the algorithm so it's ok 🤝
Fun fact for anyone curious, the reason Iris' Haxorus went for dragon dance is because it speed tied with Chandelure, and Gen 5 AI will almost always prioritize speed control over a kill. Also in case anyone's curious for Flygon's Chandelure to be speed tied with max speed EV's it had to have had either a 5 or 6 IV in speed, so at the end of the run all the EV training did in fact save the run.
13:05 he uses fire stone here to use flareon asap, because he needs more Pokémon and can’t use eevee because normal type
pc saying his thought process and flygon then saying the same thing immediately after is great
“All hail Firepig Zuko”
You know I thought Jan would never lie to me, so you can imagine my shock when I scrolled down to find that I was in fact subscribed to the channel.!
Considering that Volcarona is a setup sweeper, I'd have given her defensive EVs to make setting up easier.
I did this in Pokemon white not knowing reshiram was a fire type at the time (it was my first time playing gen 5 and it wasn't a nuzlocke) and I just kinda beat down clay with scald embore which I'm as surprised as you are the first time I saw a fire type learn a water type move before volcanion so yeah
The core of these videos is how well Jan can transition to his sponsors. Much like how Core can help transition you into competently creating your very own games without the need to learn code.
What I like about monotype challenges that they are kinda short and not encounter based or good rng based and it shows how much of a stategy you can juice out of a usually small selection of pokemon
Nice! The nuzlocker I respect the most reacting to my favorite nuzlocker! FlygonHG has a lot of monotypes, including a diamond fire only, and is really smart about how he plays
bruh the avatar references went over PCs head lmao
yes
@@cynniethia plz let Aaron be champion
Finally, I was waiting for him to go over FlygonHG
The strats he used in his fire type only gen 4 run where fucking 🥺🥺🥺
You know how Flint has a bunch of random Pokémon in diamond/pearl? Yeah, he tried this challenge, lost to Cynthia, then caught some random moms to fill out his team.
@@mangoshi1251 he lost to ominous wind omni boosts
Love how he's got a whole team named after The Last Airbender characters and then there's just Johnny hanging out. Lmao
And Korra characters, so just Avatar characters in general.
I watched a couple of these Nuzlockes a bit ago, definitely fun to watch, and basically no user mistakes.
Glad Flygonhg got such high praise he's amazing and getting better with each video
I can imagine how good unfezant are if it was a dark/flying type with prankster or super luck for night slash
That would be cool
That’s literally honchkrow lol
I actually love watching FlygonHG's challenge runs, between him, Scott's Thoughts, and Jrose11 i honestly can't decide who i like more. They're all extremely adapt at their styles, granted Jrose is almost strictly Gen 1 as is Scott's Thoughts, but still they make stellar content imo
You should react to this guy who did a hardcore platinum run, he made some rookie mistakes but also made some high level plays by grinding up friendship for Pokémon who evolve with max happiness for upcoming gyms.
the crossover we needed
I love flygonHG and its so cool to see this vid after getting into your channel! dude really has some good skills and 2 years later he's honed them even better, love watching his vids!
I've been waiting for him to review flygon because hes a fan of PC and literally bases his rules off of his. Awesome vid!
Bro is actually nuzlocke Gordon Ramsey 😭
Your animated logo is so fucking smooth, a joy to watch.
13:18 he could give the eviolite to growlithe to make it bulkier. I bet he also didn’t want to miss out on ember on flareon
I'm glad you reviewed flygonHG, they're my other favorite nuzlocke channel! They deserve the exposure
The only two people I watch on Twitch and am subbed to on there as well, coming together. This is amazing.
16:00 Jan! Gen 5 gymleaders, especially Elesa are incredibly hard (at least her b/w team)
The fact that a chandelure with -SAttack is still able to sweep the last rival says alot about how powerfull it is.
> Claims to enjoy "encounter variance" in nuzlockes
> Resets EK like 30 times due to "bad encounters" instead of actually playing out each attempt
Yes, because he doesn’t want to waste time when he knows he’ll wipe at some point.
@@asdfg3046 1) it's still good practice; 2) just by probability eventually you can get lucky and win even with bad early game encounters; 3) imagine taking youtube comments seriously kekW

for only the fourth nuzlocke Flygon did, this really shows off how analytical he really can be. He fought his way out of hard situations by doing what he needed to do instead od being so hyper focused on the potential downsides of every play and being obsessed with shoring up the downsides. I think that's the biggest thing many beginning nuzlockers have a hard time getting past
I have seen flygon's vids before and I wanted to see you react. Great to see this
I do duel-type runs. Like poison/bug. I can use any pokemon that is has any part being poison or bug. Beedrill, Scyther, Nidoking, for example.
What a gift, a new react video after i finish work
23:16 I'm looking at that 5 HP and am scared at how risky that must have been
I've been waiting for FlygonHG's videos to blow up, he does some great stuff.
The 'you think you're subscribed but you're actually not, go scroll down and subscribe' actually worked on me this time 😂 been watching your videos for the last couple of days and am really enjoying them, subscriber count +1 😄
Imagine if PC acted like Wolfie:
"Pokemon Challenges, back against the wall"
Fun fact: When I was a kid, I pronounced so many Pokémon wrong, dyslexia didn't help.
but my absolute favorite was "Küh-row-guai"...
try to guess which Pokémon that was xD
Kyogre
You should react to flygon's platinum fire monotype run...
It’s diamond
tbh Klefki *is* a poorly designed Pokemon, because yes, it is just a set of keys. That's it. Chandelure is creative because chandeliers often decorate the classic haunted mansions most people are familiar with, so to design a haunted chandelier Pokemon makes sense, as does its typing of Ghost/Fire.
Klefki on the other hand, aside from its Steel-typing, doesn't have that sort of background. I guess you could argue that it's a magic set of keys, but it's Pokedex entry doesn't support that, as it states that Klefki just steals keys it likes.
When i first found Jan reacting to other Nuzlockes i was like “wow this guy is cocky”
Now im like “wow this guys good”
He's both. Watching someone who knows how good they are is a bit tiring cos he's the least modest youtuber i've ever seen, but he's also the best at the game.
Yo I just wanna take this opportunity not only to help that algorithm for Jan, because of course, but also to acknowledge Jan's style. I always love these really pretty floral button downs he rocks. Chef's kiss to that.
Thank you I'm not alone in my love of Chandelure, my friends always bring it up as backup for their Gen one propaganda, but in my favorite pokemon list it placed 10th . The fun I've had with this mon is wild and I actually love the possessed object pokemon Archetype. This one being by far my absolute favorite in that little sub genre of Pokemon.
10:52 In BW2 red means + nature? I thought it was the other way around lol ive been deliberately getting bad natures for my Pokémon
I thought he evolved Eevee first bc otherwise he can’t use it and more mons = lowered chance of a loss
Flygon is one of my favorite nuzlockers. And his runs just keep getting better/more entertaining.
Pronouncing pokemon names wrong is a clever way to trick hundreds into commenting, which is good for the algorythm I heard.
No link to the original video or channel in description?
loved this run, the elite four was amazing
So for the B/W 1 storyline vs B/W 2 Storyline
I like them both. It feels like a continuation of the B/W 1 storyline and I like that
I myself have only done a few nuzlockes myself, but I've always wondered how a no-setup move run would work out, mid and end game-wise. Since most fights(once you learn what's difficult/what you need setup on/what will punish you for doing it) revolve around setting up as the player's win condition, how exactly does that shape the landscape to remove them from the player's repertoire. Just a thought I would like more experienced nuzlockers to maybe get back to me on :)
