      My top 3 are bug, poison, and then dark. Dragon is probably 4th but thats because I just love dragons in general. My favorite bug is Scoilipede, Poison is a tie between seviper and arbok (because I love snakes so much) and dark is Murkrow. For dragon, I love the dieno line, especially dieno because the cute and Hydrigon because of the power and design, its just really annoying to get because it evolves at lvl 64

      @iantaakalla8180 3 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      If there were to be an Ice-type challenge, it would have to be in Black or White (because of Vanillish), X or Y (because of Amaura and Lapras) or Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon (because of Smoochum and Lapras and Seel and Crabombinable). I would say Sword and Shield because you can get a large variety of Ice-type Pokémon , but getting your Ice types from there will involve Dynamax Adventures and a few Wild Areas and all those Pokémon are at high levels. I guess you could try for a Snover or a Vanillite in the non-DLC Wild Areas, but even then that’s two Pokémon until just before the sixth gym.
      That being said, since the universal randomizer works on X and Y and also Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, you can give yourself an Ice-type as a starter.

      Just a note Pokemon Challenges did not invent the "Hardcore nuzlocke" all he did was give it the name.

      @@amparolopez6236 Thanks I'm aware. Maybe you disagree but I definitely think he's the one popularizing them more now than ever. I don't think it's a coincidence that he and hardcore nuzlockes are blowing up in tandem right now and the last few months.

    I've got an idea for a Pokemon challenge that I would like to hear some opinions on: What about a 6-Pokemon run. Rules are similar to Nuzzlocke (with hardcore version as an option), with a couple exceptions:
    1. No route/capture restrictions. If you see the Pokemon you want, capture it. No limit on tries.
    2. You have 6 Pokemon you are allowed to work with. If it is in your party for any reason, it stays, and can not be replaced. Faint is still box or release, runner's preference.
    3. No slots for HM slaves. You have to work HM's into your set party of 6.
    I figure this probably wouldn't be in and of itself too tough, since not restricting what Pokemon you can capture gives you more options, but on the other hand, forcing you to only allow to use 6 at all means any Pokemon losses are devastating, especially if there are late game mon's that you want on your team. I figure there's a balance somewhere of needing some early game Mons and the sheer power of some of the late game psuedo's.
    Anywho, I was just thinking about this as a thought experiment, so let me know if it sounds like a fun idea.

    @SilphSpectre I'm fairly certain Will's Xatu has the Early Bird ability, which wakes it from sleep faster than other pokemon. Relying on sleep against them was a misplay. Thankfully, you didn't have to pay for it too hard.
