I swear I’ve rewatched all of your videos at least twice now. You have such a unique sense of humour and genuinely great commentary, and it’s genuinely so nice to see you upload!
As an Australian my first thought as soon as I figured out the nickname theme was "I really hope something cool is named Qantas" and honestly, Vespiquen is one of my favourite designed pokemon. I really hope nothing bad happens to her
Hustle accuracy only affects physical moves, so hustle togekiss isn't that bad since you'll be using special moves anyways. You just don't get the benefits of serene grace, so it's like not having an ability
I never realized how much I like the flying type until now. So many super solid designs, I feel like I always overlook them a bit and define them by their secondary typing. Great run, you really went above and beyond! Sky's the limit for future challenges!
Fun fact: flying is the most co-dependent of all the types. Of all the flying type Pokémon that exist there are only 3 mono-flying types (tornadus, rookidee, and corvisquire) and of all the dual typed fliers, only 4 have flying as their primary type (noibat, noivern, corviknight, and cramorant). Every other flying type is dual typed with flying listed as their secondary type.
@@FireFog44 its pretty wild it took until gen 5 to get a pure flying type, and then it was a legendary. I think part of it is that they always make a regional bird with normal/flying and then they mighy make a secondary bird with an extra type (pelliper, talonflame, ect) usually by the type they get done making the 2 birds and 2 bugs plus making some rando a flying type (gyrados, mantine, ect) they are out of space for pure flying.
@@jasonreed7522 I mean being pure flying would basically have to be just a gust of wind or a tornado. Getting a wind genie makes sense, but rookidee doesn't make any sense to not be normal, like all other birds.
I’ve loved Pelipper since before the Drizzle days, honestly. Even if Shockwave is objectively speaking not a great move late game, the principle of a water bird being able to 1v1 Gyarados is just hilarious to me. All it really needed to shine was a more consistently helpful ability Also, for the record, Hustle doesn’t affect Special Moves, only physical moves
Catching remoraid to evolve mantyke should be fair game. Imo you're already suspending the monotype rule to catch pre-evolved forms of pokemon outside of your challenge type
i forgot that gligar's normal and shiny sprites are very close in gen 4, and was really baffled that he didnt say anything about catching a shiny until he evolved it XD
I appreciate the Beautifly (aka Air France) love in this video! As someone who loves that pokemon and has to hear people trash talk it all the time, I love that it gets the love it deserves in this run ❤ Sad it didn't get to shine in the Elite 4 (I was able to win the Elite 4 while using one on my team), but love that it was treated as a valuable team member nonetheless 🙂
So I’m attempting this run right now and can I just say we had drastically different Crasher Wake fights. I got crit 4x in the battle, causing me to lose 3 team members including my Pelipper and my Scyther, and since I also banned Gyarados I have no answers into Candice. I’m scared of that Froslass. Edit: Made it past Candice, unfortunately my Togekiss missed a Flamethrower due to Snow Cloak and I had to sack my Staraptor for a clean switch. That was the beginning of the end as I was unable to defeat Cyrus in the distortion world. It was a fun run, but a couple of things just didn’t swing my way
Matti, I love your nuzlockes so so so much and I absolutely love whenever you do a flying type one, since that's my favorite type!! (And also with a Pelipper in your team! It's my favorite pokemon ever! ❤️) I feel like your videos are alway fun, refreshing and so easy to understand, even for people like me, who only play pokemon casually!! It even made me go back to playing pokemon in my free time sometimes! 🥰 I'll be always supporting you and thanks for always brightening my week with a new video ❤️
I just gotta say Matti, I have never enjoyed watching a streamer so much in my life. Something about your videos just really works for me. Your sense of humor is always on point, you’re humble (something streamers so often lack), and you just seem like a chill guy. I have always been a closet nerd, but you’re helping me realize I can be normal and still love playing Pokémon. You def brought me back into it, and I’ve had an absolute blast trying out Nuzlockes. Thanks for that :)
Thinking about it afterwards, it's probably good Air France and Luftansa weren't on the team together for very long. Things might have gotten a little tense...
I still don’t get the “France always surrender” joke. Literally was in the winners in both WWI and WWII. Only half in France surrendered in WWII too, it’s just weird to me that there is this idea that French people surrender to all attacks. Also, France is totally cool with Germany so I think AirFrance having to team up with British is way more insulting for both of them…
@@lullabycyanure9029 it's a way for the Anglosphere to humiliate a rival culture that never kowtowed to them. True or not, if you repeat it enough times...
The game always gives you Hustle because it knows you can handle it. It needs to reserve Serene Togekiss for for the nuzlockers who require training wheels. :D
@@heinzdoofenshmirtz8643 bruh, just because it wasn't useful on the 12v12 doesn't mean it wasn't useful at all, Poison Heal Gliscor literally swept a number of important battles on Matti's 1st attempt easily, it was absolutely amazing, you can't just disconsider all the times it was good just because it somewhat led to a wipe on a battle with very different settings lol.
The second he said he wasn't using Gyarados, my mind went to Looney Tunes at the scene where one of the off-screen characters was saying, "You'll be sorry!"
That philosophizing moment after failing to catch the Yanma really got me thinking about Albert Camus. And then it's "let's take the existential angst out on Crasher Wake". Made my day.
As a person who loves flying types - Flying Pokemon are overall quite versatile. Where there's a trend for other types - such as Steel being typically defensive and Fire typically being offensive, Flying can be anything a team needs. In part, it's because it is almost exclusively a secondary typing. However, you could make an entire team of Flying Pokemon that are stall-based, hyper offensive, or anything inbetween. It's truly magical what you can do with a bunch of birds in Pokemon.
I'm glad you ended up using Togekiss, it's one of my favorite Pokemon - it's bulky, hits hard, and has amazing type coverage. And Hustle isn't ultimately that big of an issue considering it only affects physical moves, and Togekiss is a special attacker.
I just wanted to let you know that I play my Nuzlockes mostly by your ruleset, except I allow myself a single healing item per Gym Leader/Rival/Elite 4/Champion fight, just to even the scales a little bit against those.
I love Yanmega and think he’s one of the coolest gen 4 evos (a lot of which I really like) and am super stoked for you to use one in your videos in the future. Keep faith in Lil fly, I know you’ll be reunited
Could you use the universal randomizer to give you a random starter of the typing you want, just to mix things up and use a mon that might not be available during the playthrough. I think it would keep things fresh!
Oooh, just noticed the upload :D def gonna have to binge this later Just came to put a suggestion forward, doubt you'll see it but it sounded fun! Pokémon X/Y, only using the main Pokémon found in Super Training. Including the bags, and the balloon bots! Just to give a little more variety and encounters. The Pokémon available: Azumarill, Relicanth, Wailord - HP Haxorus, Machamp - Attack Aggron, Golem - Defense Magnezone, Chandelure - Special Attack Tentacruel, Dragalge, Florges - Special Defense Crobat, Noivern, Aerodactyl - Speed Had the idea while doing some myself, just sounded like fun and it doesn't seem to have been done, so! :)
Not sure if you were already told this, but Hustle only affects physical moves like Tackle and Rock Slide. Status moves like Toxic and special moves like Air Slash are completely unaffected by Hustle and don't get the power boost or accuracy cut. So the Togepi line is only fucked by Hustle if you're doing an all-Physical Togekiss, or are completely neutered by its' bad movepool until you get some good moves on it.
Yessss, another FlygonHG Nuzlocke video that I can rewatch again and again! Also I was so pleased to see you using Gliscor, I grew to love that Pokemon when I played Brilliant Diamond.
For the record, at 3:16, for your jolly old chap Bri'ish joke, I would have been 900% okay with you rerolling natures on your Zubat till you got a Jolly one for the bit
Pretty much the first ever YTer that got me interested in Nuzlockes. Thanks for showing me another side of Pokemon I never saw before. Also, do a Bug type Nuzlocke, pls. Any version will do. °w°
Hey Mr HG! I’ve been watching your videos for a long time and I had an idea for a challenge I’d love to see! _TLDR_ : It involves Johto, a wide variety of Pokémon, mass death, and limiting your ability to cheese strat your way out of every problem. All your standard Nuzlocke rules apply. One encounter per route. No over leveling. Every time you enter a major battle (gym/elite4) once the battle is finished your team must be sacrificed to the GODS ☠️ This means you must always have a spare Pokémon in the box. You are pushed to come up with unique strategies with brand new teams. You get to use Gyarodos and poison-stall stats, but only once! and you get to chose when you need it most. I thought this challenge would be best served in Johto as it is a region known for having a flat level curve come the mid game, and with you having to start from scratch each time, this weakness would actually become rather fun! It also makes it a gamble. Do you take 5 Pokémon in to flatten Whitney’s gym leaving you only 2 Pokémon to challenge Morty? This is where the challenge becomes your own. This challenge was just a fun thought experiment to try and make Johto a more challenging experience. I call it HeartBreak Gold/SoulCrush Silver! But call it whatever you want. Bonus rule for more difficulty: EXP can only be earned by available trainers. No Wild Pokémon grinding!! Have fun and looking forward to seeing whatever you make next!
You don't have to actually wait until Friday to get drifloon. You can set the time to 11:59 on Thursday and just exit and re enter the area. This worked for me on emulator at least
I found your channel through your last random portal challenge with SmallAnt. You didn't seem very confident to me during that game, but after checking your channel, I realized that your content is great!! You should be more confident!!
I find it so poetic that united has hustle. Which decreases its accuracy and improves damage. Like how could you not describe united as being crap better than that.
Been watching your videos since the first Fire Red nuzlocke and I genuinely enjoy every single one. you're amazing and you've made my tough times so much easier. Please never stop ❤️
Platinum is one of my favorite games in the series, so happy to see this! I just wish I'd seen the notification earlier. Still, it's something nice to watch before I go to bed! Thanks, Dr Flygon! Edit: YOU'RE NAMING THEM AFTER AIRLINES this is the best night ever! I love this naming scheme so much, passenger jets are my special interest!!
A nuzlock I'd love to see you do is a team I often like using (though not as a nuzlock) is bug types that lose a typing with evolution. This team involces scyther (Flying for steel), Nincada (ground for flying), Surskit (water for Flying) and finally Skorupi (bug for dark). None of them are allowed to evilve as well so they keep those typings. I'd love to see how you handle a nuzlock of that in platinum. :)
When I play Nuzlockes, if the pokemon flee in the safari zone, I just encounter another of the same pokemon and keep trying until I've caught it. When I play, the challenge isn't the catching of the pokemon. I think a lot of your viewers Flygon would be more than happy if you did this for future playthroughs!
Used to work for Allegiant back in college, didn’t think it was that well known of an airline. But I thought it was cool my old airline was able to help you in your journey! Love watching your videos man
at least Togekiss can learn a good amount of never-miss moves(at least in later gens) like Aura Sphere, Smart Strike, and Arial Ace, so Hustle is basically free speed EVs, but other mons with it are pretty SoL.
i swear every time you said "british", it sounded more and more british, sometimes you left out the T completely. all that just as a set up for when british died and you made that "i'm sure there is plenty of t(ea) in the pokemon afterlife" pun. pure comedy gold!
I love that this Bibarel has little wings in his sprite on the bottom. He really is part of the team!
Wow, just like my favorite Smashing Pumpkins song, Bibarel with Flygon Wings.
By all known laws of aviation... bibarels should not be able to fly

f
im sorry for the loss you suffered six months ago:(
wanna clarify that hustle doesn't affect special moves, so technically it's not that much of a hindrance if you avoid physical moves
Interesting, it's still an infuriating ability thats makes you miss 100% accurate moves.
Hustle is a hindrance because it's not Serene Grace, sadly.
@@av2279 yeah, but I didn't know that hustle doesn't affect physical moves, essentially it's like having no ability
@@SmolPotato8 it doesn't affect Special moves not Physical, and For Remoraid and the Togepi line it's like having no ability lol
@@stellarknight04 yeah that's what I meant
The intimidating staravia bit was hands down one of my favorite bits. Had me laughing out loud.
Same that's actually why I'm rewatching it rn lmao that part lives in my head rent free till this day
4:13
Hustle accuracy only affects physical moves, so hustle togekiss isn't that bad since you'll be using special moves anyways. You just don't get the benefits of serene grace, so it's like not having an ability
Yeah. It sucks to miss on Serene Grace, but Hustle doesn’t negatively impact Togekiss at all, so to speak.
Aight imma use drain punch just because
I think that’s the point. You don’t get an ability in the late game, and get hampered by the ability in the early game.
I never realized how much I like the flying type until now. So many super solid designs, I feel like I always overlook them a bit and define them by their secondary typing. Great run, you really went above and beyond! Sky's the limit for future challenges!

One cool detail of HG’s strategy is precise berry use, which I just don’t see in a lot of other nuzlocke series.
14:34
Never trigger the "fight or flight" response of a flightless bird, Matti!
I’ve loved Pelipper since before the Drizzle days, honestly. Even if Shockwave is objectively speaking not a great move late game, the principle of a water bird being able to 1v1 Gyarados is just hilarious to me. All it really needed to shine was a more consistently helpful ability
Also, for the record, Hustle doesn’t affect Special Moves, only physical moves
I am still mad that they gave the togepi line hustle
Catching remoraid to evolve mantyke should be fair game. Imo you're already suspending the monotype rule to catch pre-evolved forms of pokemon outside of your challenge type
Yeah, same with HM mons, the monotype applies to stuff used in battle, not to everything owned
I mean, wurmple is not a flying type. He caught it anyway
Easy solution, just coincidentally catch a remoraid for HMs before later switching off to a different mon for more coverage
he probaly used switch training to evolve
i forgot that gligar's normal and shiny sprites are very close in gen 4, and was really baffled that he didnt say anything about catching a shiny until he evolved it XD
I appreciate the Beautifly (aka Air France) love in this video! As someone who loves that pokemon and has to hear people trash talk it all the time, I love that it gets the love it deserves in this run ❤

"strenght of a room temperature stick of butter" man I havent laughed that Hard in weeks, thanks for another great video
Hey Mr HG!
I’ve been watching your videos for a long time and I had an idea for a challenge I’d love to see!
_TLDR_ : It involves Johto, a wide variety of Pokémon, mass death, and limiting your ability to cheese strat your way out of every problem.
All your standard Nuzlocke rules apply.
One encounter per route.
No over leveling.
Every time you enter a major battle (gym/elite4) once the battle is finished your team must be sacrificed to the GODS ☠️
This means you must always have a spare Pokémon in the box. You are pushed to come up with unique strategies with brand new teams. You get to use Gyarodos and poison-stall stats, but only once! and you get to chose when you need it most.
I thought this challenge would be best served in Johto as it is a region known for having a flat level curve come the mid game, and with you having to start from scratch each time, this weakness would actually become rather fun!
It also makes it a gamble. Do you take 5 Pokémon in to flatten Whitney’s gym leaving you only 2 Pokémon to challenge Morty? This is where the challenge becomes your own.
This challenge was just a fun thought experiment to try and make Johto a more challenging experience. I call it HeartBreak Gold/SoulCrush Silver! But call it whatever you want.
Bonus rule for more difficulty: EXP can only be earned by available trainers. No Wild Pokémon grinding!!
Have fun and looking forward to seeing whatever you make next!

Love that you called Crobat "Bri-ish" every time. Kept cracking me up when you would say it 3-4 times in a battle
YES my Saturday evening sorted 😊 👍 thanks man. Would love to have a proper chat with you sometime 🤞👍
Platinum is one of my favorite games in the series, so happy to see this! I just wish I'd seen the notification earlier. Still, it's something nice to watch before I go to bed! Thanks, Dr Flygon!
Edit: YOU'RE NAMING THEM AFTER AIRLINES this is the best night ever! I love this naming scheme so much, passenger jets are my special interest!!
Just btw, both of hustle's effects are only on physical moves. It doesn't mess with the accuracy of special moves at all
The pure emotion when Lil Fly fled really caught me off guard
A nuzlock I'd love to see you do is a team I often like using (though not as a nuzlock) is bug types that lose a typing with evolution. This team involces scyther (Flying for steel), Nincada (ground for flying), Surskit (water for Flying) and finally Skorupi (bug for dark). None of them are allowed to evilve as well so they keep those typings. I'd love to see how you handle a nuzlock of that in platinum. :)
I was really hoping you'd end the Cynthia battle with a picture of Obi-Wan saying "Another happy landing"
Bri'ish got the national buff to destroying fantina because she's french.
25:15 wow I can't believe you predicted terastalisation
my fave football team just lost and one of my fave American football players just died. A nice flygon video to cheer me up at least : )

there's nothing better than the fact that Mars skunktank is literally farting at you in the sprite

Southwest MVP. His low, low prices made commercial flight affordable for all of us financially restricted. RIP to a real one!
I love that British likes dry food. Very on point with their biscuits
Ah yes.. a TEAM SKY platinum nuzlocke playthrough 😈🔥
The missed chance to name Drifloon "Spirit", LMAO...looks like a fun run though!
FlygonHG: I just couldn’t ignore the alliteration of “feathered friend”.
The phrase “flying friend”: …
When I play Nuzlockes, if the pokemon flee in the safari zone, I just encounter another of the same pokemon and keep trying until I've caught it. When I play, the challenge isn't the catching of the pokemon. I think a lot of your viewers Flygon would be more than happy if you did this for future playthroughs!
'everyone knows that ads are just the worst'
also flygon: is doing an ad

You ok buddy?
Used to work for Allegiant back in college, didn’t think it was that well known of an airline. But I thought it was cool my old airline was able to help you in your journey! Love watching your videos man
at least Togekiss can learn a good amount of never-miss moves(at least in later gens) like Aura Sphere, Smart Strike, and Arial Ace, so Hustle is basically free speed EVs, but other mons with it are pretty SoL.
Can you do a bunny/rabbit theme nuzlocke for Easter? Think it might be a cool idea. Great video!
Finally, thou hast joined Team Sky!
Love these videos for background noise as I work, sleep, play games, etc. Keep it up! You make me want to try my own nuzlock this summer
I used a Mothim in my Shinning pearl game and swept Cynthia's whole team while under leveled. It was brilliant!
Are you sure it wasn't "shining"😉
i swear every time you said "british", it sounded more and more british, sometimes you left out the T completely. all that just as a set up for when british died and you made that "i'm sure there is plenty of t(ea) in the pokemon afterlife" pun.
pure comedy gold!
