You swept Blaine with a Delibird. I don't care how cheesy the setup for that is, you swept Blaine with a Delibird. I don't know what to make of that. Well played Sir.
@@mikesearle4728 With maxed speed EV's, Delibird just barely outspeeds a 0 speed EV Rapidash at equal levels. Based on my calcs its 148 vs 147 speed in this scenario. (Assuming 31 IVs on both sides. I have no idea what IV's that Rapidash has, but it must have equal or lower than the Delibird at any rate)
@@seantaylor8114if it makes you feel any better, as soon as he said Gabriella I guessed it, then confirmed with Ryan. This is the only Flygon name scheme I've ever gotten that fast.
Hi Flygon, if you ever get stuck on Falkner again you can set your clock to Tuesday night with bug catcher Wade registered in the Pokégear. If you move the time around a bit while waiting on Route 30, so that Youngster Joey can't call you, he sometimes calls and could give you oran or sitrus berries
@@CrowLady0_0 unfortunately you actually can’t delete numbers in the remakes. In gold and silver they had to let you delete numbers cause you could only have a total of 10 numbers registered. But in the remakes they removed that limit in exchange for removing the ability to delete them.
FINALLY the return of lil fly!!! He finally makes it to the end, Im so proud of her I also love how “playing a johto game with only johto pokemon” makes for a difficult challenge run, gotta love gen 2 Really cool to see use of forsight, really unique strategies in this one
Tinted lense is definitely my favorite ability in the game, and Yanmega is its flagship pokemon in my book. (I believe venomoth gets it and a forget which others have it) Definitely feels good seeing Yanmega do so well, especially with the lucky omniboost to save it from getting saced in the red fight. I also recently played crystal for the first time and used only johto mons (not a nuzlock) and was surprised how often Jumpluff was my best mon, even being my default Alakazam counter with sleep powder + leach seed + megadrain
I love watching not just for the challenge and jokes and narrative, but the under rated aspect of learning. That foresight maneuver was so cool! I had no idea foresight affected the target and not the user. That makes it, not necessarily top tier, but better than I thought lol!
The pidgey (and onix) disrespect has got to stop… Edit: I *fully* feel like the fight against Whitney was a sign. Whitney’s Clefairy used metronome and pulled Sky Attack (the angered spirit of Pidgey) and then Power Gem (the angered spirit of Onix). Coincidence? Maybe. A children’s game containing spirits of angered fictional mons that come back to haunt you in game? Likely.
onix disrespect cant stop. i mean, DID YOU SEE THOSE STATS ON ONIX? Great Defense, nothing everything else. it. Just. SUCKS. yes, it makes a good first challenge against trainers because most early game moves are physical, EXEPT THE ONES YOU WANT TO USE ON AN ONIX, every Water or Grass type that has their typing's strength can play around the ONIX and defeat it. i mean, IT HAS 2 QUAD WEAKNESS TO WATER AND GRASS. and a friendly reminder that both of those types are primarily special attack types.
@@wrigthtalekenavi2066 okay but steelix? like it redeems itself tremendously. onix _does_ suck but so do many first stage pokemon. you can't rag on onix and then glorify steelix. like that's literally what it *comes from.*
@@frnzillaI agree, but I think Steelix should be slightly stronger. There's no reason it should have an attack stat barely higher than Geodude, especially with how slow and specially frail it is.
Taylor now deserves to go into the Nuzlocke hall of clutch moments with that. A fully expected sack turning to an almost complete sweep? Based off a 10% Omni Boost? She deserves it.
That ad Segway got me real good. Who knew that Raycons come in a square box? Totally didn't think it was something else that's a long time sponsor of this channel, like, no way.
28:57 I've actually used Foresight in a similar fashion. Played Pokemon Platinum and kept Foresight on Lucario so he could deal with Candice's Froslass without any issue.
I did the same in Platinum, but with my Machoke (didn't have a way to evolve it to Machamp sadly). Kept that move all the way from Machop for three entire game, for the sole purpose of leading off against Cynthia and dealing super effective damage to Spiritomb.
While only getting one attempt in the Safari Zone is definitely more in line with the Nuzlocke rules, i think you should be allowed to reattempt the Safari Zone encounter as many times as needed to catch it, since catching in the Safari Zone is stupidly difficult for these kinds of playthroughs. Plus, they tend to have Pokémon you can't get anywhere else, so missing out on the encounter basically guarantees you won't get to use what would have been a potentially interesting encounter. These runs are already linited enough as it is.
My first challenge ever was a Johto-Locke of Crystal, I love gen 2 and always felt sorry for the little guys introduced there for being overshadowed. Thanks for continuing the tradition!

That Ledian Drain Punch strat NEVER occured to me, I never used ledyba at all in my runs. Fantastic video once again, been watching and lurking for years but I'm super glad to see you still pump out these great Nuzlockes! EDIT: Came for the Nuzlocke, stayed for the review of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. That was a random rant, and I dig that you just threw that in there, lmao
Hi @FlygonGH Just wanted to say I've just started a job teaching maths in a tough school in London and I've been incredibly stressed. This video is just what I needed to unwind a bit and I wanted to say I appreciate you and your work is important!
Nuzlocke idea: Platinum with no species clause, but you can only catch and use Bidoofs. Once you get to the League and cannot beat it with just Bidoofs, House Doof calls on House Gar to fulfill their oath to House Doof a la Aragorn summoning the ghost army. Then you add one Garchomp to the team and challenge the League.
I hope The businesses that sponsor you appreciate you correctly because you're one of the few people Who's ad breaks I actually listen to/watch because you actually care and try haha
The constant references from songs of High School Musical (that I recognized the naming scheme by just seeing Gabriella and Ryan all the way back from Attempt 1) made for a fun watch for me! But sweeping Blaine with a freaking Delibird of all Pokémon (with Skarmory and Xatu support) is just incredible.
Hey Flygon! Great video! Did a similar run where I used falkner’s mons only, I remember Whitney being a HUGE pain for me, being a run ender for multiple attempts haha
I got the nicknaming theme IMMEDIATELY. I played Troy in my high school's production of HSM so when I saw Gabriella my first thought was "Oh, high school musical cause 'we're soarin, flyin'". Quickest I've ever gotten the theme for sure lol
the face you pulled, the girlypop, the ad segway you need a phd in flygonism to fully understand, the HSM themse, I love it! a hard early game but a team that won nonetheless
I fucking love the sponsorship segues, I usually skip them on other videos, but on yours Ill usually listen for the beautiful banter Also Girlie Pop, Girlie Pop Rock and Girlie Pop Synth, the holy trinity
No joke. I'm also doing a Nuzlocke of Soul Silver and I just beat Clair. After several failed attempts, I'm going to the Elite Four for the very first time in a Nuzlocke! Very exciting. This was another awesome run. Thanks for posting!
Yanmega is my favorite gen 4 mon, and its ability is very nice, effectively removing 1 level of "not very effective" so you can hit basically anything for atleast neutral damage is really nice. Glad to see a Yanmega shining in this playthrough. Also that was a rough earlygame.
As a 29 year old, heterosexual and slightly vain male, i can safely say my guilty pleasure is HSM 2. I saw it on release day on the Disney channel with my boy back in 2007. (Followed by the premiere of the brilliant Phineas and Ferb) I had the CD, sing along special edition DVD (inclusive of a holographic DVD case cover), I wrote down and memorised all of the lyrics and still to this day remember most of the words. Mix it with a little but of Pokemon? Brilliant.
I really love Ledian, like I totally appreciate it’s up there the worst of all evolved Pokémon. But the design is ridiculously cute, little bug looking for a fight 😂 love them 😂

You swept Blaine with a Delibird. I don't care how cheesy the setup for that is, you swept Blaine with a Delibird.
I don't know what to make of that. Well played Sir.
That is Iron bundle bro
Organic Bundle (real)
I'm still confused how he outsped the Rapidash with a Delibird
@@mikesearle4728 With maxed speed EV's, Delibird just barely outspeeds a 0 speed EV Rapidash at equal levels. Based on my calcs its 148 vs 147 speed in this scenario. (Assuming 31 IVs on both sides.

The HSM names baffled me until I remembered how we’re soarin’, flyin’. Theres not a star in heaven that they can’t reach
I don’t know what’s more upsetting: that this is the naming scheme he chose or that I, a 30 year old man, caught on by the first gym.
"You know the world can see us... In a way thats different than who we are"
The second he named the first Hoothoot Gabriella, I knew it was HSM 😂 but I didn’t make the connection as to why, so thanks for that
It's also the start of something new with just Johto Pokemon
@@seantaylor8114if it makes you feel any better, as soon as he said Gabriella I guessed it, then confirmed with Ryan. This is the only Flygon name scheme I've ever gotten that fast.
I was NOT ready for the musical number. Beautiful… I don’t know how Flygon keeps upgrading his content
Nah, the cut to highschool musical with his own owl noises was peak comedy. I folded like a lawn chair when I saw that 😂😂😂
I'll admit, sweeping a fire type gym leader with a Delibird was not what I expected.
We're soaring, flying
There's not a badge
In johto that we cant reach!

If we're trying, yeah we're breaking free!!

Flygon did this Nuzlocke just to vent about the high school musical series and it’s glorious
Flygon is now officially a member of Team Sky *bird noise*
Mikey would be proud.
GO TEAM SKY!!!
So is Whitney’s Clefairy apparently

I cant believe FlygonHG had to watched the entire HSM series in order to make this 1 video, the dedication !
not the high school music naming scheme 😭😭
The hoot hoot skit had me absolutely dying. Especially the closed captions

The rival being Nick L. Odeon is the cherry on top of the HSM naming theme
To think that ledian, yanmega, and delibird were the mvps of this run is insane
Hoothoot is named Gabriella
Me: "Is this a HSM reference because of the 'Soaring, flying' part of 'Breaking Free'?
Ledyba is named Ryan

Flygon Hg: you know i never wanted to hurt you
Gabriella: But what about me? What am I supposed to do?
Flygon Hg: you have to leave but i'll miss you...

EDIT: Came for the Nuzlocke, stayed for the review of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. That was a random rant, and I dig that you just threw that in there, lmao
Ryan is the best high school musical character and I will DIE on that hill
2:37 not me finally realizing it's High School Musical themed.
Knowing you've (extensively) watched HSMTMTS just changed something in my brain chemistry
Early bird being Falkner's family business makes perfect sense to me
Nice to see Ledian getting a little well deserved love. With good training and the ability to learn various punch types its a solid performer.
Guess that pidgey on route 31 had some connections with the local gym leader huh
7:44 We dabbing in 2024 boys. Love to see it
Soul Silver is definitely one of the best Pokémon games; Excited to see how the challenge goes!!
Hi @FlygonGH Just wanted to say I've just started a job teaching maths in a tough school in London and I've been incredibly stressed. This video is just what I needed to unwind a bit and I wanted to say I appreciate you and your work is important!
1:10 "POOgey"! Masterful wordplay mister HG! Kudos!
You are doing the Gen 2 remakes a lot lately! I love it
I sat through a marathon of the HSM movies just a few weeks ago. This brings things to a complete circle I’m not sure I needed.
High school musical scene had my laughing too hard
7:05 same GarchompFJ
So naming the hoothoot gabriella was sus, getting ryan got me thinking, then chad, and troy finalized it, WE’RE SOAAAARIN, *FLYYYYIN*

Once you get to the League and cannot beat it with just Bidoofs, House Doof calls on House Gar to fulfill their oath to House Doof a la Aragorn summoning the ghost army.

This one was a little stressful haha. The hoot hoot singing portion was amazing
7:23 the blue steel look during the sponsor got me😂😂
These Pokémon really did stand hand in hand - make their dreams come true
Bro, you are the only one i don't just watch the Sponsored Ad but REWATCH it! 😂👍🏻
Love your content Dr1ball. You and Drxx make the best nuzlocke content. I think you are two of the best nuzlockers out there!
I hope The businesses that sponsor you appreciate you correctly because you're one of the few people Who's ad breaks I actually listen to/watch because you actually care and try haha
insane foresight usage, that was really sick!!!
I cant say i was ever into watching nuzlocks until watching Flygon so thank you. Gotta say im an addict for your videos now
You'd better use the Sky High naming scheme for fighting types then.
God your editing is so brilliant. The whole high school musical edit with hoot hoot speaking hootineese was so 😭😭
Walked in for a Pokemon nuzlocke, left with HSM the show lore
Life truly is a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get
4:18 is why flygonhg is my favorite nuzlocke youtuber 😂
Flygon's knowledge about high school musical the musical KILLED me 23:00
FlygonHG All you gotta do is, ask Michael to join Team Sky.
Banger video. Great bits, great tension, great ad read. This might be my new favorite monotype challenge.
Opportunity of a lifetime to say thanks for all the content!
The look back from Gabreilla against Lance shook me...
OMG! An HSM themed video, so damn cool!
WOOHOOOO another great video, I love all Lil Flies and all the Big Flies they evolve into. They truly were souring AND flying
The constant references from songs of High School Musical (that I recognized the naming scheme by just seeing Gabriella and Ryan all the way back from Attempt 1) made for a fun watch for me!

Hey Flygon! Great video! Did a similar run where I used falkner’s mons only, I remember Whitney being a HUGE pain for me, being a run ender for multiple attempts haha
The fact that it's only Gen 2 flying types makes this way more interesting somehow
There was once a day when I would skip past Flygon's sponsorship's, but now I look forward to them almost as much as the challenge itself!!
Flagon is my favorite person ever. Naming themes and editing is immaculate
I got the nicknaming theme IMMEDIATELY. I played Troy in my high school's production of HSM so when I saw Gabriella my first thought was "Oh, high school musical cause 'we're soarin, flyin'". Quickest I've ever gotten the theme for sure lol
Yet another fantastic run with pokemon I don't usually see going to the elite four. Excellent work once again Dr HG
having to look up the HSM songs and names just to understand what's going on is fabulous, i love you flygon
S tier video making with the Troy making an uproar scene, bravo!
proud to say that i was able to call the nickname theme from the very first name this time lol
the face you pulled, the girlypop, the ad segway you need a phd in flygonism to fully understand, the HSM themse, I love it! a hard early game but a team that won nonetheless
Okay, you are the only youtuber thst can make me rewind to see the AD AGAIN!!!! I love how you handle sponsors😂
Never in my life did I ever think a fucking Ledian would be this useful in a SOULSILVER NUZLOCKE
