Gerald's rampage against Wallace was perfection. Cuts through Sydney's team like a flashlight through the dark. Add/expand the light source as necessary.
I'd love to see you do a run where you can only use pokemon that you "snag" from gym leaders. Like, after every gym battle, you get to choose one of their pokemon to use on your team, and your uncle jimtendo hooks you up with that.
23:09 The reason Drake switched is because you met a series of really specific requirements. The AI can switch if you 1: Hit the Pokemon with a move a Pokemon in the back resists and B: If that same Pokemon in the back has a super-effective move (in this case, Aerial Ace). And then it's only a chance to switch.
And the player’s attack also has to move second because of a bug in gen 3 AI where the AI will forget what move the player used if the AI moved after the player did. Later gens did patch up that bug so switch logic can happen even if the player moves first.
@@superzenmodeman I think it can also happen if the enemy healed the previous turn since they didn’t use a move. Wallace would sometimes switch his Wailord out on me after I hit it with Thunderbolt from Electrode and it healed.
I'm not sure how I feel about Seviper's tail-hand in the thumbnail art, but I'm glad the two have finally joined forces after a lifetime of being at each other's throats
I have a sneaking suspicion that it is a certain someone's birthday this month. We absolutely shouldn't forget to get you something nice and wish you a happy birthday Dwayne.
I just hate how people love sableye but don't talk about mawile. Props to flygon for doing a version exclusive nuzlocke Edit:Sableye is my favorite pokemon, I just hate that people dont really like mawile that much
That final battle was the most engaging thing I’ve seen in a while, the storytelling working so well with the gameplay had me on the edge of my seat!!!
Nothing quite like watching Gerald’s hunger for blood overwhelm his enemies. The tales of his brutality will surely safeguard Hoenn for generations to come.
this actually reminds me a lot of the wedlockes from marriland!! he would make pairs from the first male/female pokemon he encountered and the next encounter would have to be the opposite gender, and they had to fight in their pairs. I watched a lot of them as a kid, so it's cool to see a similar concept all these years later!
i think the spon-conscience is an embodiment of mega flygon that never got to be physically realized, and so only exists as a voice instead of having a concrete form like garchomp fj. it makes perfect sense
Since they're in pairs, this could've been adapted into a wedlocke near seamlessly. I wonder why he hasn't tried any. Hmmm, maybe Wedlockes aren't as popular as I thought, even though Marriland's HGSS Wedlocke was one of the best series he put out. (RIP Peach and Carrot)
He does primarily hardcore nuzlockes. Wedlockes are much more challenging, near impossible, to do with the limitations a hardcore nuzlocke adds. Even more so with the monotypes or themes he usually does
@@roethedoe Most “hardcore”wedlockes i’ve seen/done have allowed shift battle mode and used normal encounter rules, but kept the level caps and no items in battle rules. Still a decent challenge, but definitely doable in 1 or 2 attempts.
@@roethedoeShift mode and teamlock are the biggest changes. Using 2 mons per battle limits switching enough anyway, but having to keep your team the same until they die makes it way different from a regular nuzlocke. Also makes wedlocking pretty much impossible in romhacks with increased difficulty.
my cannon is that they were all lovers with thier partners making the losses feel even worse as they are now widows fighting for memories of those they love
Version Exclusives is such a cool concept for a Nuzlocke! Genuinely a really interesting team composition, and your storytelling is always on-point. Had me crying for Thelma and Louis! Thanks for the video!
Gerald had gotten tired with the daily grind at macs and decided to open his own restaurant, but try as he might, he just couldn't resist the fish fillet.
I have an idea for a nuzlock run. You have to name your pokemon as recipes ingredients and for the major fight you have to create a team that is a recipe for a dish.
I'm waiting for the day when Nosey becomes a trainer himself, just so he can confront his prodigal brother Steven. He can gather all of his half human, half rock type siblings that Daddy Stone keeps on somehow fathering.
I love classic Disney Channel cartoon Phineas and Billie. I especially am excited for the new seasons in production. Also, for that simile you were looking for- Gerald cut through Sidney’s team like a stomach pump after five back to back Fish Filet.
Lunatone is one of my favorite Pokémon, so seeing it pull so much weight in a Nuzlocke really made my day! Solrock was great too, and those Zangoose sweeps were like perfectly cooked fish fillets! Awesome job all around!
So I love your challenges and watching your videos but the Phineas misdirect has got to be my favourite part of this video. Followed closely by all the fish fillets being cut through. Thanks Flygon!

Shoutout to the true MVP of the run Tom. Good job Tom way to show up Tom proud of you Tom.
We stan tom in this channel
I think I know why Gerald is mad at Tom now. Tom steals all the glory for doing almost nothing.
He justed killed tentacruel as I read this comment
"Altaria can't do squat to Billie, not even the diddly kind" might, quiet possibly, be one of the greatest things i've ever heard
I literally burst out into laughter because of it
Followed closely by "Even the sweet siren's call of Flannery's objectively sexy Camerupt"
@@Shade1453 we are just getting peak quote material from Flygon
Also “the Peezy side of the easy spectrum” was great
"we're halfway to orphan status" is also pretty good
Man, you sliced through Sidneys team like a perfectly cooked fish fillet
that’s a really good simile to describe the sidney fight!
Wow that was a great one!
like a magicians box would work nolove gerald🪄
Entirely different, of course, to how he sliced through Juan's team like a perfectly cooked fish filet. Less French.
Yeah, for some reason, the feels... right.
Gerald is an aromantic icon, slice through your enemies like a perfectly cooked fish filet king 👑
all hail King Gerald 👑👑👑

I think a better analogy would be a perfectly sliced fish fillet
“A weaker man may have fallen to that wretched succubus, but not Gerald” can’t stop laughing at the thought of a sexy Camerupt lmao
I love being so deep in HG’s lore that I understood the part of finding Diddly’s scattered remains on Mossdeep City
I honestly gasped reading that. What a callback.
I know I remember this being a thing but I can’t for the life of me remember the context 😭 can you remind me?
@@daniel6678 Flygon’s 400 BST and lower run of Emerald has your answer!
On Flygon’s below-400 BST run, he used a Nosepass named Diddly, who died by exploding in the Tate and Liza battle
Where was that? I didn’t see it anywhere
I'd love to see you do a run where you can only use pokemon that you "snag" from gym leaders. Like, after every gym battle, you get to choose one of their pokemon to use on your team, and your uncle jimtendo hooks you up with that.
My God, Daddy Stone dropping the ultimatums 😭
Mans has more kids??
Right??!! Who is this other kid, or does he have more!
Might be humanoid rock type Pokemon relationships to come?! 😮
Time stamp is at 1:18 for those who want to go back and read the ultimatum 😂😂😂
WHY IS THERE LIKE A BLACK SPOT, DOES THIS MEAN NOSEY HAS MORE SIBLINGS???
Geralds gotta be a new fav for me, we stan an ace/aro murderous king
Finally some good representation in media.
He's the representation we've been waiting for!
His only love and/or lust is blood!
All rise for our glorious new representative
Never did i think id hear camerupt be referred to as a wretched succubus 😂
Camerupt has had a surprising amount of success seducing FlygonHG's pokemon.
20:35 how about "slice through like a perfectly cooked fish fillet"? Pretty proud of this one; came up with it on my own 👌
Brilliant!

I'm assuming you also thought Ferb?
@@NottinghamRoosevelt Yup
''Sableye.. Sucks!''
Bert be crying in the PC.
We really need a folder of all of Daddy Stone’s letters to Steven. I wanna read all of them in one place hahaha
True! Ive wanted to know so badly but havent been able to read em on fullscreen ever
Gerald is the aro-ace representation we needed but didn’t expect
Gerald definitely is a devout follower of Khorne. The wiles of Slaanesh have no effect on him. BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD, SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!
Didn’t think I’d run into a 40K reference in Flygon’s comment section.
Milk for the Khorne Flakes!
Foul HERITIC you have turned from the emperors light. Pls submit yourself to your nearest commissar for summary exucution
This video was a perfectly cooked fish fillet 19:47
Seriously, did anyone else pause and read the letter at 1:18. I'm dead. Top marks to Flygon for that one!

Yes, healing also works because AI’s action happens first in that case, so the last action of the turn is the player’s attack.
27:28 I held my breath with the team. Thanks for the long story Flygon. I almost died.
"If you want this immense fortune to go to my other kid -s- "
Excuse me?! Who the hell keeps fucking Devon Stone?!
I guess more Nosepass ladies?
haven’t you met him??!? He’s magnetic.

As a lover of zangoose and serviper was great to see the contributions. We love you, TOM 😭

Edit:Sableye is my favorite pokemon, I just hate that people dont really like mawile that much
Sableye is my favorite mon but mawile is in my top 10 fs, both the megas are super fun and they’re both just little guys.
I like mawile better than sableye for sure such a good design for it's time what a sick pokemon
Honestly I love both! I never realized that Sableye had more spotlight than Mawile!
Honestly how could anyone not love mawile? It's literally the perfect combination of intimidating and adorable, which I feel is hard to do
To be fair, the dislike for Mawile comes from its terrible stats
19:13
I was fully expecting the final joke to be
"GERALD LOVES MEN OVER WOMEN"
Hear me out: asexual Gerald
@@LeftHook-em6rvGERALD LOVES OVER WOMEN
@@LeftHook-em6rv "you are asexual because you feel no sexual attraction, i am asexual because i hate everyone. We are not the same"
Oh that would be so funny!!
not the way i literally yelled "YES" and pumped my fist like an idiot alone in my house at that ending hsdhfhs 10/10 storytelling
"Never fight uphill, me-boys" was a reference I was NOT expecting
Genuinely baffling range from Mr GonHG
i love the daddy stone sideplots happening in the background of every r/s/e/or/as nuzlocke

Gerald is ace confirmed. The representation we needed in media.
i think the spon-conscience is an embodiment of mega flygon that never got to be physically realized, and so only exists as a voice instead of having a concrete form like garchomp fj. it makes perfect sense
We need a redemption arc for Steven where he finally meets Daddy Stone and whatever human family member(s) left
And why not his Nosepass brethren??? Why did you need to qualify that statement. They are either family or they’re not, DG
@@tobysinbad my bad
I LOVE your Andy Griffith Show reference. I don’t think anyone else will catch on where you used it but I appreciate that very much
All hail Gerald, aromantic king of fish fillet.
I gotta say I love it when you lean into the story telling part of a run, it’s always so much fun to watch. Keep up the good work 👍👍

I was so convinced that Phineas would be paired with Ferb that I laughed out loud when you came up with Billie.
That fake out Phineas and Billie made me hurt myself in my confusion
the ever-evolving narrative in the letters from mr. stone to steven is easily my favorite running gag in your videos
The ad segments are slowly becomming my favorite part of this.
NO idea how you keep being so creative with it :D
The Seviper with a hand for tail in the thumbnail irks me. But hey, points for the creativity.

"Peasy side of the easy spectrum"

For the Sydney fight. 21:01
Hey he might get through this deathle…
*sees explosion”
Darn it 😭
Sidney's team was cut through like a bunch of salad ingridients. Some were grass, and some were meat, and there was even crab.
Gerald slice through Sydney's team like a ray of sun in the middle of the night 😂😂 I can't came up with anything better
my cannon is that they were all lovers with thier partners making the losses feel even worse as they are now widows fighting for memories of those they love

PHINEAS 😭😭 you were so amazing 25:36
NOT THE FINAL BULLET SEED BEING A CRIT TOO... godspeed louis he was REALLY trying to kill milotic
I was not expecting the solrock explosion so that had me LOLing so hard
This is such a cool formula. Can easily do it for every other generation. Looking forward to when Stunky and Glameow become best friends in gen 4
Wake up babe new flygon nuzlocke just dropped

Do you guys remember when FlygonHG would always always always play around the critical hit?
*Always*

This script was hilarious. Well done Flygon, really enjoyed the quips. "Not even the diddly kind." Outstanding.
Can I just say I appreciate the fact that you gender your Pokemon correctly? It makes me so happy ❤
Holy crap, thi was abolutely FANTASTIC
Love Zangoose. Nice to see a 0 Attack IV one actually get there.
You can't stop me from believing that Gerald broke through all those attracts because he's dating Tom.
The ruleset reminds me of Marriland’s wedlockes! I’ve done a few wedlockes myself and i think it would be really cool seeing one on this channel
Daddy Stone has been trying desperately to get Steven to just be apart of the family. Poor Nosey probably doesnt even realise he has a brother
Ayeee, caught a drop instantly for the first time! Look forward to it!
I'm waiting for the day when Nosey becomes a trainer himself, just so he can confront his prodigal brother Steven. He can gather all of his half human, half rock type siblings that Daddy Stone keeps on somehow fathering.

"towards the peasy side of the easy spectrum"
FlygonHG: And the creativity of these two siblings is unmatched, so welcome Phineas and...
Me: Phineas and Ferb?

Itty bitty hydro pump, huh? 😂
Also the switch to Trick Master music when Tate and Liza were setting up Sunny Day had me cackling!

Am I the only one who completely missed the opening to the sponsor segment because I was so caught up in the euphoria of Nelson wearing a hat?
That build up before the final bullet seed deserves an emmy
