About the Hacking Starter Pokémon, I think it would be fair to hack the one with the biggest encounter rate, since the rarer ones are usually stronger by design.
Gen 2, mono bug type is impossible. You only get spinnerack before the first gym... Which is a flying type gym. Gen 1, electric type is impossible. In certain versions, Pikachu has a 5% encounter rate in veridian forest while the first gym is a rock type. I do believe that if you play the remakes, flying is possible, but in the original gen 1 games, I don't think it would be due to the AI deciding what to do after you input your turn
Both are possible and both have been done Although they are very..very painful. You can basically start first Arena at lvl40 at best but you can also abuse the enemy AI thinking
What are you talking about with Bugs in Gen 2? Aside from the fact that Weedle, Caterpie, and Ledyba are also available on the same routes as Spinarak, so you'll always have two Bugs (Routes 30 and 31 both have all 4 in the grass depending on the time of day), in Crystal there's also a patch of grass on route 36 you can reach from Violet City that gives you access to a third member of that group of 4.
I think you can get Weedle/Caterpie too which at most can only use String Shot to slow down Pidgeotto (or give you another chance to Poison it in Weedle's case.
@@olivergro7105 You aren't allowed to level your Pokémon higher than the gym leader's strongest pokemon in a hardcore nuzlocke, so leveling up to 40 isn't allowed.
I'm surprised you didn't bring up the "There are no Fire Types in Sinnoh" meme. While not really impossible, it is complete CBT to go through with just a horse and monke.
It’s theoretically possible, flygonhg made it all the way to Cynthia after like 7-10 resets. Its more in the “practically impossible” tier than the “straight up impossible” tier.
The problem with psychic in emerald is that your first psychic type is ralts, which only has confusion for quite a while, and there is a required battle with an aqua grunt in petalburg woods that has a poochyena. It's immune to psychic. There's also one in the verdanturf tunnel.
struggle strats are required for the first aqua grunt and yeah thats super annoying. as for the second, it happens after the first gym which you can not only have an abra evolve into kadabra but also get closer to the second gym lv cap which you can have a diferent move to work with. edit: nevermind you cant. neither can learn cut or bullet seed and they dont learn anything else. gotta do the struggle strats again which is ultra annoying now because of more moves to waste PP. also first gym with only a ralts require double team strats.
@unkindled You have to use struggle strats against dark types up through Mauville. Source: I'm editing my own Psychic run and it was hell for the first few gyms.
Funnily enough the electric type in gen 4 platinum would be possible if they didnt remove the hidden power tm from the trainer school I imagine hp water is enough to get past work. gardenia is tough but not unbeatable para hacks galore but should be beatable.
@@scootermcpeanuts6699 Ice is weak to rock, yes, but Rock does not resist Ice. What I mean is that it'd be good vs Roark's rock/ground mons, and then Cranidos would not be that much of a problem.
@@AlbRomano Ah, okay. I still don’t entirely know all the type resistance shenanigans. Quick question, does grass resist itself, or is it steel that resists grass? Because I remember fighting a ferrothorn once and it being immune to leech seed.
For an USUM mono-ice nuzlocke, there are actually a few Pokémon you can catch before Hala! A shame they're all in the same area, but hey. You have access to Jynx and Delibird. Of these, you're really going to hope you get Jynx. Delibird makes Totem Araquanid free, but that's only if you use Z Bounce, and you can't teach it anything other than Present before Hala. Well, Brick Break, I guess, but that's not going to be enough. I know you can get Smoochum in SuMo as well before that point, or at least I really think you can, so I firmly believe you can do it.
This video was excellent but If u have the time and patience to do it u can sos call for salamance which is 1% from a 1% bagon encounter it is possible to do the nuzlcoke in ultra sun and moon. But yes u are right
@@mrprotain5225 1% is not Zero, so it is possible.... If you pray the Original Thousands Armed Pokémon God, because Arceus isn't powerful enough to support those odds. 😅
An small error regarding Platinum: under your rule set the first Ice type would be Glaceon not Snover. Not sure if it makes things better or worse but I felt it was worth noting
@@skibot9974 No, no, I mean, in order to evolve Glaceon, you need to be near that rock, which can only be accessed after you cross grass containing Snover, unless I'm losing it.
@@skibot9974 Oh, weird, you mean that you get Eevee first before Snover, so technically it would be the earliest Pokemon that can evolve into an ice type?
I remember doing an X electric monolocke, things were looking up, and I lost almost my entire team besides I think emolga to one of the Lysandre fights, and somehow I still managed to claw my way to victory
The differences between SM and USUM have some pretty notable effects on the Hala fight. In USUM, you can catch Noibat in Verdant Cavern, who provides a nice Fighting resistance. You still need to do a whole bunch of praying to clear early game, but it can be done. USUM gives you access to Smoochum in an out-of-the-way cave, who can maybe beat Hala with Confusion spam. Also in USUM, as well as base SM, you can catch Delibird before fighting Hala, who can theoretically blast through Hala with Hustle-backed Presents or Brick Breaks [EDIT: Just checked the math, your Delibird needs to have those god gamer genes to stand a chance against Hala. You can make it through Mankey and Makuhita okay if you max out your EVs + get lucky enough with your IVs / Hustle accuracy / Present dealing 80+ damage that 40% of the time (Silk Scarf is your item, otherwise your damage output is sad), but to KO Crabrawler, you need a 1/16 max roll 80 Present + a 1/4 high roll 80 Present, or a 120 Present + an 80 Present, all assuming max IVs, max EVs, +Atk nature, Hustle, and that your defenses are good enough that Crabrawler doesn't cave your skull in with its one Z-Move. All this to say, by this video's rules, Ice in SM may as well be impossible with how much luck is needed.]
My first time playing threw sinnoh i had nothing but shinx evos: male and female shinx, luxuio, and luxray. I didn't have a comprehensive idea of types. Until the elite 4
Technically, Ghost type runs are impossible in gen 1. Psychic is immune to it, and guess what? Psychic moves are super effective against the only Gen 1 ghosts: the Gastly line.
Now hold on. Gen 1 has a little thing called Night Shade. Night Shade, and moves like it, ignore type match ups in Gen 1. So yes, it is possible to beat Gen 1 with only the Gastly line. A TH-camr by the name Jrose11 taught me that. Gengar is actually one of the best Pokemon to use for a solo run of Red and Blue, per his self imposed rules.
this is acting like you'd actually use ghost type only on gengar. gengar is a special attacker, and in gen 1 all ghost moves are physical. sorry, MOVE. the only ghost type move in gen 1 is lick, the 40 base power move. gengar basically didnt have stab.
Actually I think the dragon run in sun and moon is perfectly doable since its [possible] to get ahold of a salamence via sos spawns. Granted, it means that the first bagon you find needs to live long enough to roll that 1% chance to spawn the darn thing, but the way I see it, that salamence IS part of the first encounter of the route, technically. To say nothing of needing to actually catch the darn thing. Rest of the run would be a cakewalk because its a SALAMENCE, but hey, its doable.
I thought it was still going to suck because most good™ pokemon have bad or late movepools since you aren't supposed to have/use a lv 3 Raikou, but apparently gen 7 salamence does learn reasonable moves at reasonable levels.
A run I'd find interesting would be a mono-steel hardcore nuzlocke of Platinum, mostly due to my experience with my casual mono-steel run. And that's because the early game is actually relatively tame with Piplup, Bronzor, and Shieldon. No, the issue here is actually in the late game, with the MONSTER that is Distortion World Cyrus. Half of his team comes packing super-effective moves, although his Honchcrow having Heat Wave is hardly the biggest problem when the utterly terrifying Houndoom and Gyarados exist. Both pack a vicious offense that will shred through most of your team options. And in exchange, your team has a mostly pitiful offense, and are incredibly slow, meaning that you're essentially required to take one if not two additional hits to take down his mon. And good god, you are not surviving for very long against either. And even if you make it through, you've still got enough of the game left that you could win the battle but lose the war. Especially since Empoleon and Lucario are ludicrously important and irreplaceable. I have no doubt it is doable, but I also have no doubt it would be incredibly painful.
Sandstorm should help, it gives a 50% special defense boost to rock types and activates several abilities. (Basteodon and Probopass are your 2 dual rock/steel types and of those only Probopass is even any good, but 150base spec def times 1.5 is 225 which is shuckle levels of defense with an actual HP stat) Secondly Bronzong can have the ability heatproof to half the damage of fire type attacks meaning you only take neutral damage. (This does cost the use of levitate to become immune to ground type attacks) Its still a hard fight, but these atleast give some defense against fire (along with Empoleon taking neutral damage). I haven't done any calcs but considering it was possible for HG Flygon to beat a fire type monolock with just Monkey and Cow then i wouldn't rule anything out that has some actual options. (Technically he didn't win but he rematched by loading a savestate and proved it was possible with better luck)
@@jasonreed7522 Yeah, honestly, the fire type stuff isn't the big issue with the Cyrus fight. I mean, it can absolutely be one, but it's more of something that will catch you off-guard if you're underleveled or without a good plan. If anything, the biggest problem is that you have to build your team around dealing with other things, especially in this very fight! But, yeah, the much bigger problem is Gyarados and Earthquake. The only safe switch-in is Levitate Bronzong (or Skarmory, but that's because of my unique situation), you can't survive more than one turn with anyone (if it doesn't just kill you outright), it outspeeds everyone but Lucario, and I'm fairly sure the best moves it has for dealing with it are rock-type! And if that wasn't bad enough, it hits you with Intimidate too!
You forgot a basic rule, there is 3 basic rules 1. Mon faints, it dead forever. 2. Only catching first mon each route (giftmons up to player how that works like starters) and 3. You MUST nickname the mons you catch as to form a bond, that isn't no ordinary Piplup that is Bonapart the 3rd
thanks to nuzlocke rules you have no ability to do that. The only place to get Bagon is Route 3 and Salamence ONLY spawns through SOS Battles from that specific encounter. Nuzlocke Rules require you to catch the FIRST encounter of a Route and thus it will always be Bagon and never Salamence.
@@phdskyla5026 Do they appear both at once? I don't really know how SOS battles actually work, but I distinctly recall a mechanic where a wild Pokemon can call for help at the end of a turn - is that one it?
You can use island scan on a tuesday in pokemon sun and moon to get the dragon type Deino before the first kahuna fight. Also, someone commented that you can get a salamence with SOS battling, which is true, however, it would go against the nuzlocke rule of only being able to catch the first pokemon you see (of that type).
As someone currently doing an Emerald Hardcore Psychic Monolocke, you forgot to mention something about Psychic type... You literally can't even fight the first mandatory random trainer without wasting all 40 Growl PP, struggling and potioning until you're level 6, wasting all of your Confusion PP, and then struggling that trainer's Poochyena to death. This cycle is a terrifyingly common occurrence until you reach Mauville and learn non-Psychic damaging moves. It doesn't make it near-impossible but GOD, is it close.
Of course the "first Pokemon you see" rule has to be bent a little with Pokemon moving towards overworld encounters in the newer games or with monotype nuzlockes limiting encounters but usually "can only catch one Pokemon per area" will do just fine.
you can get smoochum and delibird before the first kahuna battle. however those 2 alone cant deal with him even though both got resistance to fighting, theyre just too weak.
@@magcarjoseph2nd i remember a poketuber doing an ice only run or something i think in Moon, it wasnt nuzlocke or anything it was a silly roleplay kind of video run, but he did get both legitimately but i think one of them was the helper call thing that was introduced in USUM and the other was a rare find in an early cave
I managed to clutch out a fighting only hc nuzlocke in Black 1. I quickly found out that you need tepig to have a +1 attack nature and decent spdef IV's on top of max attack EV grinding, and then pray it works out. Later on in the journey theres still some big roadblocks but I managed to do it in about 40 runs ignoring resets to tepig nature, and i think 6 of them got past gym 1
I was actually looking into doing fighting only in red, blue, yellow, and I think that one, especially in red and blue, might actually be impossible. Mankey is the only pokemon you get before Misty, with the next possible one being Machop in rock tunnel. In gen 1 karate chop is actually a normal move instead of a fighting move, so that becomes worse for Brock. Speaking of which, Mankey only gets low kick in yellow (and even then the move works very different from how it is today) so best of luck making it past Brock with just a Mankey in red and blue. Also, mega punch and mega kick aren't available before Misty like in FRLG. I think if you can get to Machop this challenge is definitely doable. Even if your only other options are one of the hitmons and a poliwrath.
Nice video. Another type I noticed is impossible to beat a monotype Nuzlocke is with Rock in FireRed/LeafGreen. Only thing you get is a Geodude before Misty and unless you're like 10 levels above her, you'll get one-shotted every time.
Nice Leopard Gecko Also Schroedinger’s type should be weak (or super effective depending how you wanna see it) to poison cuz I’m pretty sure it was about putting poison gas in the box to kill the cat but you aren’t sure if it’s dead or not cuz you… didn’t open it… honestly I think that stuff is stupid but basing stuff off of it is cool Oh maybe a relation to ghost type too then
I think the better question than "is it possible" is "how low can you go". Let's say that L is a variable representing the current level cap. Can you beat a L-1 hardcore nuzlocke, where the level caps are all reduced by 1? For general case L-N, what is the highest value of "N" for which a hardcore nuzlocke can be completed for each type?
In BDSP, a lot of types are impossible. To make a list: Normal ( Unfeasible against Roark. Maylene's Lucario is rough too. ) Grass ( Team Galactic with flying and poison types. Just look at Cyrus and Flint. And Gardenia's Roserade. ) Dragon ( Only Gible? ) Electric ( Roark ) Ground ( Gardenia's Roserade and Wake's entire team ) Ice ( Maylene's Lucario and Flint ) And then the most difficult type, Rock ( Gardenia's Roserade, Maylene's Bulk Up Lucario, Wake's entire team, Bertha's team, Lucian's Medicham and Levitating Bronzong and five out of six members of Cynthia's team are anti-rock. ) Poison was here too, just because of Cynthia's Garchomp but I think by farming Shuca Berries, you have some chance. Impossible Challenges: Normal, Grass, Electric, Ice, Ground, Dragon, Rock. I do remember someone completing the ground type challenge ( maybe Antlerboy ) but given Wake's team, that sounds like a nightmarish time though. And Cynthia's Milotic is a ridiculously bulky wall for ground types to cross. Even if you get past Milotic with your own Swords Dance Garchomp, you still have Roserade's Dazzling Gleam and Lucario's Dragon Pulse and there's a decent chance that they will outspeed you. And let's not forget Gardenia's Roserade too.
I'm not sure about Cynthia, but crasher wake shouldn't be a problem when you can catch a shellos. It learns recover at level 10, along with body press, ancient power, and harden, and it evolves right at the level cap, so it can become gastrodon before you fight crasher wake. While Gardenia's Roserade is strong, from what I've tested, a sand cloak wormadam can tank petal blizzard and outlast Roserade with bug bite.
Bug Pokémon are given too much crap. I did a bug monotype run of Sacred Gold… the Dreyano hack of heart gold. Went all the way to Red… wasn’t easy, and took like, a year and a half. But I did it.
Gen 1 mono type fire is pretty much impossible with those rules. I know that because when I was a boy I used to do mono type runs (not nuzlocks), I called then "Gym leader adventures". The only fire type at the beginning is Charmander and the only way I managed to get pass Brock was over leveling it and the only way I got pass Misty was with a level 40 Charizard (so much grinding). So no way a mono fire hardcore nuzlock is possible in gen 1, even if you get lucky with metal claw against Brock there's no chance you'll get pass Misty with only a Charmelion
Did a poison type nuzlock on FireRed. Team ended up being Venosaur, Golbat, Nidoking, Nidoqueen (They are a couple I couldn't separate them 😢), Tentacruel and Gengar.
A BW2 Dark Type monolocke is pure pain. The first 2 gyms are pure RNG fights with your single Purrloin using sand-attacks and fury swipes. Challenge mode adds Ymfah levels of masochism to that because then you gotta deal with 3 Pokémon each, and the second level cap is conveniently 1 less than what Purrloin would evolve at.
When I did a normal nuzlocke of Y I only lost a single pokemon. A few minutes away from the league. To a random shell smash crustle. ;-; also even tho I set heracross as a starter, a mono bug run of heartgold was ROUGH. You want venomoth for status but you want scyther for damage/coverage so it’s a hard choice. Lord knows Ariados ain’t doing shit
If you follow traditional hardcore Nuzlock rules, the most important part about deciding if a run is possible or not, are the first 3 gyms. Because usually after that, you’ll get so many options as the player, that almost everything can be done. Like useful dual types, items or TMs for coverage and power. But even that doesn’t matter, because in the end, it is all about your personal enjoyment and preferential rule sets. Like my “mono type hardcore nuzlocks” tend to ignore the one per route limitation, because there often are just too few mons due to overlap for my taste. So I just feel like turning those into more of a collection run, with perma death. Is it cheating? Who cares? It’s about my enjoyment
I remember when Sheen from Jimmy Neutron almost died because Jimmy supercharged his brain to superhuman levels and made Sheen's brain a ticking time bomb like Alakazam's where too much brain will literally never stop growing and confirmed kill Sheen and theoretically kill Alakazam.
Edit: Psychic type in Gen 4 is possible as you can get the Hidden Power TM from the trainer school. HP Fighting isn’t just optimal for the fight, it’s optimal long term as well, due to Psychic/Shadow Ball/HP Fighting coverage being perfect. Original comment: RSE w/ Psychic types is impossible. Being blocked by a Dark type with your only Pokémon being a Ralts w/ a Psychic attack means you’re wrecked. And you don’t have the stats to Struggle it. Wow, the edits are showing in on the video minutes after I raise them xD
You forget that the ai prefers status moves, poochyena also isnt really a problem early game. Easily beatable, just might have to reset, but its early game. Struggle is a stronger move than poochyenas tackle as well, which matters at low levels.
I mean there are 3 videos of a ultra sun/moon hardcore nuzlcoke with only dragon types,also i just watched yesterday a white black hardcore nuzlocke with only water types😎
Silph managed to beat Electric Monotype Hardcore Nuzlocke in Emerald, and a Water Monotype Hardcore Nuzlocke in Pokémon Black DocZ beated Ultra Sun Dragon Monotype Hardcore Nuzlocke, as well as almost beating an Ice Monotype Hardcore Nuzlocke in Ultra Moon
like I said especially for the electric one, this videos was more of a over generalization. I was looking at if you were to follow the rules just absolutely to a T no deviations
You're saying X and Y was easy, and while it was... it wasn't nearly as easy as Sword and Shield. My literal SECOND PLAYTHROUGH was a hardcore monotype Nuzlocke using Bug-Types (since they are my favorite). Wanna guess how many Pokémon I lost? I'll give you a hint: it's less than one!
i use the "evolves into" but not "Evolves from" personally. So in Monoground i would not allow myself either Marowak or Shedinja but in Monoghost i'd allow Cubone and Nincada (Cubone of course not in Gen 6 and prior)
When ever I've attempted mono type nuzlockes my rule is one of each species able to be caught. Makes some routes have 2 encounters, others 0 if you'll want another early.
Also, in generation 4, you get the TM for hidden power in the trainer’s school, and abra can learn it. Could you beat Roark if you get hidden power water or grass? You’d probably need a crit on Cranidos, but it certainly looks possible (Hidden power might be a platinum exclusive)
Diamond/Pearl is actually not bad for psychic because the ingame trade Abra is guaranteed HP Ice. It's encountered at the same time as the actual Abra in the grass too so it can technically be your first one.
You should give B/W water only another go. Would love to see the run. Just passed the first gym with only Oshawott on 7th attempt, so definitely doable.
Gen 4 with anything that can't really kill a geodude is painfull, since 1/3 of the game has grass made out of gravelers Also, Ultra Sun&Moon is pretty brutal in general. Especially with fire types (good luck with araquanid)
You can’t get stunky in platinum on account of being diamond version exclusive. Your earliest dark type there is murkrow from eterna forest at night. That’s not a whole lot better but murkrow has astonish and pursuit. Roark doesn’t resist either and astonish has a flinch chance. You can take two rock throws before cranidos comes out.
Ghost Monotype Hardcore Nuzlocke for Gen 1 is impossible, because you have one encounter which is Gastly and it doesn't get any ghost type attacks(which are physical and the line is special focused) besides lick (which sucks) and nightshade, which is nightshade. Also you take super effective damage from psychic and ground type attacks, and Psychic is immune to your only stab move anyway
as for gen seven, you can actually get two dragon types on the first island. That being bagon, of course, but if you're in the cave for the first trial, you can actually get yourself a noibat. Obviously still bad, but at least he's a speedy little bastard
imo when it comes to types not available early, it should be somewhat lenient. Like, you can pick which one, within certain limits. Has to be the starting form of a multi-stage line, ideally three stage if it exists. BST in line with Pokemon available around the beginning of the game, or at least not too much better.
Usually if I do monotype runs, I take everything first stage pokemon in the generation assign them a number and roll a generator and whatever I get us what I get
you might be a bit too harsh on Ghost in G4. Sleep moves + some of the things you can get at the water gym/ tm at Veilstone (nasty plot i think?) are enough to turn haunter into a menace. And if you play Pearl you still get the Ghostly witch which is essentially a second Haunter. witch which witch which. Yeah and also Drifloon which is an absolute menace you can catch at lv22 which is superior to the 2nd gym, and spiritomb who has 0 weaknesses. Too bad you can't get rotom before the end game tho. Also play hearthgold/soulsilver, you're missing out.
Nuzlocke rules say you catch the FIRST encounter of a route. Now do tell me: How do you encounter Salamence before Bagon if you need to encounter Bagon to get a Salamence?
Every cool persons favorite games is emerald. I think for me it was just how much I played it as a kid and hunted down Len he defies and then I literally found steven randomly at the end of the game and was so amazed I spent months trying to beat him and that damn cradily

@@mostlysure1077 yes but he satiated under his rules he counts the first ice type as the first Pokémon that evolves into an ice type
@@skibot9974 No, no, I mean, in order to evolve Glaceon, you need to be near that rock, which can only be accessed after you cross grass containing Snover, unless I'm losing it.
@@skibot9974 Oh, weird, you mean that you get Eevee first before Snover, so technically it would be the earliest Pokemon that can evolve into an ice type?
@@mostlysure1077 Correct.
I remember doing an X electric monolocke, things were looking up, and I lost almost my entire team besides I think emolga to one of the Lysandre fights, and somehow I still managed to claw my way to victory
The differences between SM and USUM have some pretty notable effects on the Hala fight. In USUM, you can catch Noibat in Verdant Cavern, who provides a nice Fighting resistance. You still need to do a whole bunch of praying to clear early game, but it can be done. USUM gives you access to Smoochum in an out-of-the-way cave, who can maybe beat Hala with Confusion spam. Also in USUM, as well as base SM, you can catch Delibird before fighting Hala, who can theoretically blast through Hala with Hustle-backed Presents or Brick Breaks
[EDIT: Just checked the math, your Delibird needs to have those god gamer genes to stand a chance against Hala. You can make it through Mankey and Makuhita okay if you max out your EVs + get lucky enough with your IVs / Hustle accuracy / Present dealing 80+ damage that 40% of the time (Silk Scarf is your item, otherwise your damage output is sad), but to KO Crabrawler, you need a 1/16 max roll 80 Present + a 1/4 high roll 80 Present, or a 120 Present + an 80 Present, all assuming max IVs, max EVs, +Atk nature, Hustle, and that your defenses are good enough that Crabrawler doesn't cave your skull in with its one Z-Move. All this to say, by this video's rules, Ice in SM may as well be impossible with how much luck is needed.]
My first time playing threw sinnoh i had nothing but shinx evos: male and female shinx, luxuio, and luxray. I didn't have a comprehensive idea of types. Until the elite 4
Technically, Ghost type runs are impossible in gen 1.
Psychic is immune to it, and guess what? Psychic moves are super effective against the only Gen 1 ghosts: the Gastly line.
Now hold on. Gen 1 has a little thing called Night Shade. Night Shade, and moves like it, ignore type match ups in Gen 1. So yes, it is possible to beat Gen 1 with only the Gastly line. A TH-camr by the name Jrose11 taught me that. Gengar is actually one of the best Pokemon to use for a solo run of Red and Blue, per his self imposed rules.
Why not give a ghost type mom a tm move or a move with a separate type?
I mean with enough TMs, luck, and stat experience Gengar could crush the game
this is acting like you'd actually use ghost type only on gengar. gengar is a special attacker, and in gen 1 all ghost moves are physical. sorry, MOVE. the only ghost type move in gen 1 is lick, the 40 base power move. gengar basically didnt have stab.
@@Sageknot Gengar isn't that fast, though. One Psychic type hit, and boom. It's history.
We failed math for a reason, I didn't know how to percent 😂
Counterpoint to the gen 4 arguments: Hidden Power is available before the first gym, and if you play platinum so is Return
Actually I think the dragon run in sun and moon is perfectly doable since its [possible] to get ahold of a salamence via sos spawns. Granted, it means that the first bagon you find needs to live long enough to roll that 1% chance to spawn the darn thing, but the way I see it, that salamence IS part of the first encounter of the route, technically. To say nothing of needing to actually catch the darn thing. Rest of the run would be a cakewalk because its a SALAMENCE, but hey, its doable.
I thought it was still going to suck because most good™ pokemon have bad or late movepools since you aren't supposed to have/use a lv 3 Raikou, but apparently gen 7 salamence does learn reasonable moves at reasonable levels.
@jasonreed7522 a lot of level evos have moves from their preevos
I didn't know it was possible, but I enjoyed this type of video more. Almost like a podcast with the subtle anger undertones
You mean a podcast?
A run I'd find interesting would be a mono-steel hardcore nuzlocke of Platinum, mostly due to my experience with my casual mono-steel run. And that's because the early game is actually relatively tame with Piplup, Bronzor, and Shieldon. No, the issue here is actually in the late game, with the MONSTER that is Distortion World Cyrus. Half of his team comes packing super-effective moves, although his Honchcrow having Heat Wave is hardly the biggest problem when the utterly terrifying Houndoom and Gyarados exist. Both pack a vicious offense that will shred through most of your team options. And in exchange, your team has a mostly pitiful offense, and are incredibly slow, meaning that you're essentially required to take one if not two additional hits to take down his mon. And good god, you are not surviving for very long against either. And even if you make it through, you've still got enough of the game left that you could win the battle but lose the war. Especially since Empoleon and Lucario are ludicrously important and irreplaceable.
I have no doubt it is doable, but I also have no doubt it would be incredibly painful.
Sandstorm should help, it gives a 50% special defense boost to rock types and activates several abilities. (Basteodon and Probopass are your 2 dual rock/steel types and of those only Probopass is even any good, but 150base spec def times 1.5 is 225 which is shuckle levels of defense with an actual HP stat)
Secondly Bronzong can have the ability heatproof to half the damage of fire type attacks meaning you only take neutral damage. (This does cost the use of levitate to become immune to ground type attacks)
Its still a hard fight, but these atleast give some defense against fire (along with Empoleon taking neutral damage).
I haven't done any calcs but considering it was possible for HG Flygon to beat a fire type monolock with just Monkey and Cow then i wouldn't rule anything out that has some actual options. (Technically he didn't win but he rematched by loading a savestate and proved it was possible with better luck)
@@jasonreed7522 Yeah, honestly, the fire type stuff isn't the big issue with the Cyrus fight. I mean, it can absolutely be one, but it's more of something that will catch you off-guard if you're underleveled or without a good plan. If anything, the biggest problem is that you have to build your team around dealing with other things, especially in this very fight!
But, yeah, the much bigger problem is Gyarados and Earthquake. The only safe switch-in is Levitate Bronzong (or Skarmory, but that's because of my unique situation), you can't survive more than one turn with anyone (if it doesn't just kill you outright), it outspeeds everyone but Lucario, and I'm fairly sure the best moves it has for dealing with it are rock-type! And if that wasn't bad enough, it hits you with Intimidate too!
You forgot a basic rule, there is 3 basic rules
1. Mon faints, it dead forever.
2. Only catching first mon each route (giftmons up to player how that works like starters)
and 3. You MUST nickname the mons you catch as to form a bond, that isn't no ordinary Piplup that is Bonapart the 3rd
And Bonapart the third will die in a random encounter because you forgot it was poisoned and then you will mourn!
Such are the rules.
4:39 actually in sun and moon, you can get a salamence before leaving the first island through an sos battle
Exactly what I was thinking lol
thanks to nuzlocke rules you have no ability to do that. The only place to get Bagon is Route 3 and Salamence ONLY spawns through SOS Battles from that specific encounter. Nuzlocke Rules require you to catch the FIRST encounter of a Route and thus it will always be Bagon and never Salamence.
There is a Nuzlocke where you can choose which Mons you want on your team. So you can get Salamence if you want to
@@trueMCGRaven It's still the first encounter.
Double Wild Battles allow you to catch either of the mons in it, how's this different?
@@phdskyla5026 Do they appear both at once? I don't really know how SOS battles actually work, but I distinctly recall a mechanic where a wild Pokemon can call for help at the end of a turn - is that one it?
You can use island scan on a tuesday in pokemon sun and moon to get the dragon type Deino before the first kahuna fight. Also, someone commented that you can get a salamence with SOS battling, which is true, however, it would go against the nuzlocke rule of only being able to catch the first pokemon you see (of that type).
As someone currently doing an Emerald Hardcore Psychic Monolocke, you forgot to mention something about Psychic type...
You literally can't even fight the first mandatory random trainer without wasting all 40 Growl PP, struggling and potioning until you're level 6, wasting all of your Confusion PP, and then struggling that trainer's Poochyena to death. This cycle is a terrifyingly common occurrence until you reach Mauville and learn non-Psychic damaging moves.
It doesn't make it near-impossible but GOD, is it close.
I respect the commitment
@Magcarjoe Gonna be real. If I didn't have emulator speed-up, I would never torture myself like this. XD
Of course the "first Pokemon you see" rule has to be bent a little with Pokemon moving towards overworld encounters in the newer games or with monotype nuzlockes limiting encounters but usually "can only catch one Pokemon per area" will do just fine.
you can get smoochum and delibird before the first kahuna battle. however those 2 alone cant deal with him even though both got resistance to fighting, theyre just too weak.
that may in fact change things I did not know you could get them so early
@@magcarjoseph2nd i remember a poketuber doing an ice only run or something i think in Moon, it wasnt nuzlocke or anything it was a silly roleplay kind of video run, but he did get both legitimately but i think one of them was the helper call thing that was introduced in USUM and the other was a rare find in an early cave
I managed to clutch out a fighting only hc nuzlocke in Black 1. I quickly found out that you need tepig to have a +1 attack nature and decent spdef IV's on top of max attack EV grinding, and then pray it works out. Later on in the journey theres still some big roadblocks but I managed to do it in about 40 runs ignoring resets to tepig nature, and i think 6 of them got past gym 1
Nah, you can get a salamence in S/M, it would work.
Can’t believe you only have 5k subs. You’re incredible bro, I’ve been obsessed with your videos these last two days!
How about we get the hardcore monotype Developers seal of approval nuzlocke where you don’t cheat and manipulate hardware or software in any way.
I was actually looking into doing fighting only in red, blue, yellow, and I think that one, especially in red and blue, might actually be impossible. Mankey is the only pokemon you get before Misty, with the next possible one being Machop in rock tunnel. In gen 1 karate chop is actually a normal move instead of a fighting move, so that becomes worse for Brock. Speaking of which, Mankey only gets low kick in yellow (and even then the move works very different from how it is today) so best of luck making it past Brock with just a Mankey in red and blue. Also, mega punch and mega kick aren't available before Misty like in FRLG. I think if you can get to Machop this challenge is definitely doable. Even if your only other options are one of the hitmons and a poliwrath.
Mega Punch and Seismic Toss both are
I suck at nuzlockes, but still entertained by this
Nice video. Another type I noticed is impossible to beat a monotype Nuzlocke is with Rock in FireRed/LeafGreen. Only thing you get is a Geodude before Misty and unless you're like 10 levels above her, you'll get one-shotted every time.
I think someone used omanyte as the starter and won
Oh look, another criminally underrated channel; here's hoping the algorithm begins to favor you soon, champ.
My man really named his Spheal clubbin, absolutely brutal
Nice Leopard Gecko
Also Schroedinger’s type should be weak (or super effective depending how you wanna see it) to poison cuz I’m pretty sure it was about putting poison gas in the box to kill the cat but you aren’t sure if it’s dead or not cuz you… didn’t open it… honestly I think that stuff is stupid but basing stuff off of it is cool
Oh maybe a relation to ghost type too then
I started laughing hysterically when "spooky ball" came on the screen. Idfk why that just immediately sent me 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think the better question than "is it possible" is "how low can you go". Let's say that L is a variable representing the current level cap. Can you beat a L-1 hardcore nuzlocke, where the level caps are all reduced by 1? For general case L-N, what is the highest value of "N" for which a hardcore nuzlocke can be completed for each type?
In BDSP, a lot of types are impossible. To make a list:
Normal ( Unfeasible against Roark. Maylene's Lucario is rough too. )
Grass ( Team Galactic with flying and poison types. Just look at Cyrus and Flint. And Gardenia's Roserade. )
Dragon ( Only Gible? )
Electric ( Roark )
Ground ( Gardenia's Roserade and Wake's entire team )
Ice ( Maylene's Lucario and Flint )
And then the most difficult type, Rock ( Gardenia's Roserade, Maylene's Bulk Up Lucario, Wake's entire team, Bertha's team, Lucian's Medicham and Levitating Bronzong and five out of six members of Cynthia's team are anti-rock. )
Poison was here too, just because of Cynthia's Garchomp but I think by farming Shuca Berries, you have some chance.
Impossible Challenges: Normal, Grass, Electric, Ice, Ground, Dragon, Rock. I do remember someone completing the ground type challenge ( maybe Antlerboy ) but given Wake's team, that sounds like a nightmarish time though. And Cynthia's Milotic is a ridiculously bulky wall for ground types to cross. Even if you get past Milotic with your own Swords Dance Garchomp, you still have Roserade's Dazzling Gleam and Lucario's Dragon Pulse and there's a decent chance that they will outspeed you. And let's not forget Gardenia's Roserade too.
I'm not sure about Cynthia, but crasher wake shouldn't be a problem when you can catch a shellos. It learns recover at level 10, along with body press, ancient power, and harden, and it evolves right at the level cap, so it can become gastrodon before you fight crasher wake.
While Gardenia's Roserade is strong, from what I've tested, a sand cloak wormadam can tank petal blizzard and outlast Roserade with bug bite.
The Ultra games are a little better for dragon types because you can get noibat in the cave where you take your first trial
Bug Pokémon are given too much crap. I did a bug monotype run of Sacred Gold… the Dreyano hack of heart gold. Went all the way to Red… wasn’t easy, and took like, a year and a half. But I did it.
I believe me im going to prove how GOATED bugs are very soon
Gen 1 mono type fire is pretty much impossible with those rules. I know that because when I was a boy I used to do mono type runs (not nuzlocks), I called then "Gym leader adventures". The only fire type at the beginning is Charmander and the only way I managed to get pass Brock was over leveling it and the only way I got pass Misty was with a level 40 Charizard (so much grinding). So no way a mono fire hardcore nuzlock is possible in gen 1, even if you get lucky with metal claw against Brock there's no chance you'll get pass Misty with only a Charmelion
you would be pretty lucky with metal claw in gen 1 considering it didn't exist then
@@arandomcreatureontheinternet15 could do it in fire red or leaf green, yes I know its gen 3 but still it'd count
@@magcarjoseph2nd yeah, I was just being nitpicky about the language
My takeaway from this video is that I want a Schrodinger pokemon with the ability contrary and all of the status/disruption moves.
Did a poison type nuzlock on FireRed. Team ended up being Venosaur, Golbat, Nidoking, Nidoqueen (They are a couple I couldn't separate them 😢), Tentacruel and Gengar.
I think you can make it even more harder that is if you have your entire team defeated you have to restart the entire game
A BW2 Dark Type monolocke is pure pain. The first 2 gyms are pure RNG fights with your single Purrloin using sand-attacks and fury swipes. Challenge mode adds Ymfah levels of masochism to that because then you gotta deal with 3 Pokémon each, and the second level cap is conveniently 1 less than what Purrloin would evolve at.
When I did a normal nuzlocke of Y I only lost a single pokemon. A few minutes away from the league. To a random shell smash crustle. ;-; also even tho I set heracross as a starter, a mono bug run of heartgold was ROUGH. You want venomoth for status but you want scyther for damage/coverage so it’s a hard choice. Lord knows Ariados ain’t doing shit
F that Crustle I know what its capable of
If you follow traditional hardcore Nuzlock rules, the most important part about deciding if a run is possible or not, are the first 3 gyms.
Because usually after that, you’ll get so many options as the player, that almost everything can be done.
Like useful dual types, items or TMs for coverage and power.
But even that doesn’t matter, because in the end, it is all about your personal enjoyment and preferential rule sets.
Like my “mono type hardcore nuzlocks” tend to ignore the one per route limitation, because there often are just too few mons due to overlap for my taste. So I just feel like turning those into more of a collection run, with perma death.
Is it cheating? Who cares?
It’s about my enjoyment
I think Hidden Power and a bit of *magic* helps in Gen4 to beat the first gym, hp grass ponyta really clutched for me
A dragon hardcore nuzlocl for sun and moon has been completed
Supporting good content creators with comments that's what I do
U are right good sir
I had to sub when you said “i win either way”
I remember when Sheen from Jimmy Neutron almost died because Jimmy supercharged his brain to superhuman levels and made Sheen's brain a ticking time bomb like Alakazam's where too much brain will literally never stop growing and confirmed kill Sheen and theoretically kill Alakazam.
Edit:
Psychic type in Gen 4 is possible as you can get the Hidden Power TM from the trainer school. HP Fighting isn’t just optimal for the fight, it’s optimal long term as well, due to Psychic/Shadow Ball/HP Fighting coverage being perfect.
Original comment:
RSE w/ Psychic types is impossible. Being blocked by a Dark type with your only Pokémon being a Ralts w/ a Psychic attack means you’re wrecked. And you don’t have the stats to Struggle it.
Wow, the edits are showing in on the video minutes after I raise them xD
You forget that the ai prefers status moves, poochyena also isnt really a problem early game. Easily beatable, just might have to reset, but its early game. Struggle is a stronger move than poochyenas tackle as well, which matters at low levels.
I mean there are 3 videos of a ultra sun/moon hardcore nuzlcoke with only dragon types,also i just watched yesterday a white black hardcore nuzlocke with only water types😎
tbf I keeping the water type here out of spite
Silph managed to beat Electric Monotype Hardcore Nuzlocke in Emerald, and a Water Monotype Hardcore Nuzlocke in Pokémon Black
DocZ beated Ultra Sun Dragon Monotype Hardcore Nuzlocke, as well as almost beating an Ice Monotype Hardcore Nuzlocke in Ultra Moon
like I said especially for the electric one, this videos was more of a over generalization. I was looking at if you were to follow the rules just absolutely to a T no deviations
You're saying X and Y was easy, and while it was... it wasn't nearly as easy as Sword and Shield. My literal SECOND PLAYTHROUGH was a hardcore monotype Nuzlocke using Bug-Types (since they are my favorite). Wanna guess how many Pokémon I lost? I'll give you a hint: it's less than one!
Million dollar idea, a fairy type hardcore nuzlocke from a generation before fairy types were added
One of my rules when I do any monotype is if it involves into or from the type your monotyping it is game
For example alolan Marowak or Shedinja on a monoground run
i use the "evolves into" but not "Evolves from" personally. So in Monoground i would not allow myself either Marowak or Shedinja but in Monoghost i'd allow Cubone and Nincada (Cubone of course not in Gen 6 and prior)
When ever I've attempted mono type nuzlockes my rule is one of each species able to be caught. Makes some routes have 2 encounters, others 0 if you'll want another early.
And with this i have watched every Magcarjoe video :/ cant wait for more
FlygonHG after seeing this video: ???
Also great vid btw
lmao very true
I know this is comment was made a year ago but Flygon actually recently proved mono water in BW was possible
The amount of editing going into this is insane
Only a minute into the first video I’ve ever to seen of yours and had to sub just because of the good Snail boi, now I can happily enjoy the video lol
The Lego yoda sound got me 😂 keep up the good work man!
Also, in generation 4, you get the TM for hidden power in the trainer’s school, and abra can learn it. Could you beat Roark if you get hidden power water or grass? You’d probably need a crit on Cranidos, but it certainly looks possible (Hidden power might be a platinum exclusive)
Oops never mind, you addressed it in the video.
I cant stop laughing at
SteEL!
RoCK!
GHOST!
You can never ever beat a vanilla Nuzlocke of dark types i. R/B/Y and FRLG (not let’s go because of regional forms)
If u think that then:
Earth is Flat and true love is real.
As a Literature Student I can say that line is Poetic as Fuck. 10/10.
I tried mono Poison type in Crystal. The first trainer at the first gym stonewalled me, and it was literally just a Spearow that only knew Peck.
Diamond/Pearl is actually not bad for psychic because the ingame trade Abra is guaranteed HP Ice. It's encountered at the same time as the actual Abra in the grass too so it can technically be your first one.
You should give B/W water only another go. Would love to see the run. Just passed the first gym with only Oshawott on 7th attempt, so definitely doable.
I attempted a fire type monolocke earlier this year and I can confirm it is possible, but it requires both strategy and a lot of luck
Getting a Scizor can be really good since there's a lack of Fire Types until Flint
Gen 4 with anything that can't really kill a geodude is painfull, since 1/3 of the game has grass made out of gravelers
Also, Ultra Sun&Moon is pretty brutal in general. Especially with fire types (good luck with araquanid)
You can’t get stunky in platinum on account of being diamond version exclusive. Your earliest dark type there is murkrow from eterna forest at night. That’s not a whole lot better but murkrow has astonish and pursuit. Roark doesn’t resist either and astonish has a flinch chance. You can take two rock throws before cranidos comes out.
Ghost Monotype Hardcore Nuzlocke for Gen 1 is impossible, because you have one encounter which is Gastly and it doesn't get any ghost type attacks(which are physical and the line is special focused) besides lick (which sucks) and nightshade, which is nightshade. Also you take super effective damage from psychic and ground type attacks, and Psychic is immune to your only stab move anyway
19:07 My ninja frog looking at a Lando-T
as for gen seven, you can actually get two dragon types on the first island. That being bagon, of course, but if you're in the cave for the first trial, you can actually get yourself a noibat. Obviously still bad, but at least he's a speedy little bastard
Subbed for the gecko... Well-played, sir
I will always support videos clowning on nuzlocke rules. Well done, sir!
Sun and Moon Dragon? Easy. Just get that Salamence encounter lol.
In USUM, unless I'm mistaken, you'd only have a smoochum in an ice nuzlocke. Good luck with that
imo when it comes to types not available early, it should be somewhat lenient. Like, you can pick which one, within certain limits. Has to be the starting form of a multi-stage line, ideally three stage if it exists. BST in line with Pokemon available around the beginning of the game, or at least not too much better.
You have like a 10% percent chance to get noibat in the cave after the first trial
Pokemon black 1 using a grass type only might work only because of how trash incinerate is. Altho u cant use berries in exchange.
13:30 it probably took you like 30 mins to set up the “you suck” joke
Usually if I do monotype runs, I take everything first stage pokemon in the generation assign them a number and roll a generator and whatever I get us what I get
You are wrong!
(commenting for the algorithm)
you might be a bit too harsh on Ghost in G4. Sleep moves + some of the things you can get at the water gym/ tm at Veilstone (nasty plot i think?) are enough to turn haunter into a menace.
And if you play Pearl you still get the Ghostly witch which is essentially a second Haunter.
witch which witch which.
Yeah and also Drifloon which is an absolute menace you can catch at lv22 which is superior to the 2nd gym, and spiritomb who has 0 weaknesses.
Too bad you can't get rotom before the end game tho.
Also play hearthgold/soulsilver, you're missing out.
by the way in gen7 you can SOS chain a bagon to get a salamence so hala can be cheesed to hell
Nuzlocke rules say you catch the FIRST encounter of a route. Now do tell me: How do you encounter Salamence before Bagon if you need to encounter Bagon to get a Salamence?
@@trueMCGRaven Yes that is true but it all depends on how leniant you want to be
Theoretically, fire can get past Roxanne if you get lucky with burns and misses!
Ahem somebody just did a hardcore monotype nuzlocke of ultra sun recently with dragon types and beat it
Every cool persons favorite games is emerald. I think for me it was just how much I played it as a kid and hunted down Len he defies and then I literally found steven randomly at the end of the game and was so amazed I spent months trying to beat him and that damn cradily
Very well maid video mate
I searched "gekko pokemon" and got this video, must say I came for silver but found gold, also i subbed
You would need FlygonHG's skills and the best luck and RNG of all time to beat these HC nuzlockes
Nice vid man aint watched you before but you had me creasing throughout
A little excited that my piggy son proved you wrong ngl 😂
Here I thought it meant you cannot use duel types ._.
