Please do a full run at some point!
My man in the flesh (arthropodal)
I made the like counter 69.
Don't you dare touch it
@@equipmagameplays it got ruined already
Gonna be honest I still don’t know Golurk’s type
I can give you one: "Fainted" after you mollywhopped his ass
Doesn't matter you were the most enjoyable by far. ❤
(I didn't play Pokémon actively since Gen 3 your run hit home WAY too hard)
Not going to look it up I would guess ghost and rock. But watch it be like ground or steel. Anyways you still did really well ❤️
Ghost ground 🎉
Go/Lurk-type
cjya is my favourite Nuzlocker of all time
mine too he is just so fun to watch

hi pat
He's so good 👍
Babe wake up it’s the end of the month and Jan needs to upload a video for sponsor deadlines.
It's a Pchal vid, time to get my rent money together
Unironically real lmfao
Even though he said he’d stop doing this 😂 I don’t care I just think it’s funny
At least it’s 50min and seems cool

"We're gonna do Kaizo Ironmon now" The cut here was too good
he got the kaizo ironmon autism not the nuzlocke autism 💔
@@WizedexReal Kaizo Ironmon is easily the most boring kind of pokemon challenge
"run and bun is too much of a time commitment..."
"Alright let's go play kaizo ironmon"
Ah yes, the three types of players:
The completely prepared effortless winner
The prepped but improvisational anime protag
And the 'fuck it we ball' guy
WAYYYYYYYY TO accurate this fr me and my friends tho
The prepped but improvisational ginger (no soul)
The 3 genders
@@animebread4797 saaame.
Fuck it we ball is my D&D party's motto. As their DM I am constantly the meme "they can't keep getting away with this!"
Pchal: "No items to prevent Knock Off was genius."
CJ, five minutes later: "Oh, I forgot to put items on."
Pchal getting slowly broken by cyja being in a perpetual state of steering is hilarious.
Peak 'fake it til you make it'
These bots are evolving
wtf is that pfp nobody wants to see that
@@pincer2885 it's a bot that stole a comment. Links are dangerous. Report them and move on.
The editor changing CJ’s theorycrafting bar to “Sending It…” killed me
That was amazing
Smallant is like the guy who studied so much for the test that knows more about the subject than the teacher. patterz is like the guy who studied a fair amount and although he did make some mistakes he still passed easily. And then cj is like the guy who didnt show up for any classes during the semester, shows up to the test drunk and then somehow almost gets a passing grade
Best part about the Smant bit is that’s just what he’s like. He’s told stories on stream of doing exactly that when he was in school
I don’t think Smant knows more than Pchal or for your metaphor more than teachers, more like he studies a lot so his knowledge is a couple grades ahead of others. Other than that pretty correct
“Squerk, an expert in run and bun early game with literally hundreds of attempts” is a crazy jab😭
look what he did to my boy
never ask squerk what ability the marowak had
Exactly what I came here to comment, that's so cold 😂
I didn’t even pick up on that 😂
Yeah, such a backhanded compliment
it's very funny how a majority of smallant clips have no commentary because he did everything beforehand so there's literally nothing for the nuzlockers to point out other than the occasional "damn why didn't we think of that"
Doesn’t he understand not preparing and screwing up makes for better content damn it 😂
SmallAnt: this fight has four ways it could go... anyway, I only need 5 pokemon
CJ: I like Walrein
Love the people who play with their favorites ❤

@@atpyro7920search him on TH-cam, I think it was his last video he relied on static for a not-so-great strategy. There’s a bunch of these nuzlockers that do content together and whacko is one of them, he’s done some of pchals videos with him and vice versa
@@atpyro7920he had an absolutely insane chelle fight the one time where he was basically relying on a static proc on the togekiss. he frauded the hell out of that fight with a static proc, muddy water acc drops into an attack order miss that would've wiped him if it hit, and so on

“It’s just such a big commitment”
“I’m gonna go play Kaizo Ironmon”
I mean, Kaizo Ironmon isn't really a commitment. You just mindlessly bash your head into a wall for however long you want until you're done grinding for RNG today.
@@dontmisunderstand6041 a different kind of time investment I suppose, but definitely still a difficult and ridiculous long one. Early game might be the most RNG heavy but that doesn’t make the late game easy or even not based on RNG. Plus it comes with a lot of memorizing which Pokemon are clear threats.
@@dreeg1896 I think you've misunderstood what is being said. There's no skill or thought that goes into a Kaizo Ironmon run. You either get lucky or don't. Runs are expected to be seconds or minutes long 99% of the time. And that's not hyperbole or exaggeration. It's not a game, it's a less awkward version of an chat forum. "The run" where you win is going to be a couple hours tops. Almost all of the time a streamer puts into Kaizo Ironmon is not gameplay, it's chat interaction. That's why the people in the video joked about "the content farm". Because that's what it is. That was the entire point, from the start. There is no commitment or investment, it's just content that lasts exactly as long as the streamer wants it to, that requires no real start-up or expectation of finishing.
The fact that pChal, who's whole brand is criticising other people's Nuzlocke with insanely high standards, just says "[Smallant] could be really good at this if he just had the time." and "Now I wanna see him do a full run."
Really says how damn good smant is at this. Holy hell.
I wish he'd Nuzlocke hard mods like this as a series.
In one of his streams, SmallAnt said that he doesn't find Nuzlockes all that interesting because the actual gameplay is just staring at spreadsheets to plan the route. That kinda says it all. He knows what the game is about, and how to win it.
@@dontmisunderstand6041Which is funny because to me, Nuzlockes are fun because there’s different ways to play. Meanwhile, Kaizo Ironmon seems incredibly boring, just spamming your way through a run. Guess he prefers the social interactions side of it
Patterrz: _No prep, played very well on the day_
SmallAnt: _Prepped the perfect run last night_
cjya: _Ran on pure luck, fell apart at the end_
There's a life lesson in there somewhere

Smant: "Im gonna prep for this."
Cj: "Leeeeerooooooy Jeeennnnnkinnnnns"
6:01 “If he had the time to do it” is such a funny thing to say about Smant. He has the time, he just will choose to spend it on the most obscure challenges possible and it’s great.😂
Funniest thing about smant in any Pokémon content is that every time he does a Pokémon anything, people ask if it’s a nuzlock. The man has, at this point, done about three nuzlocks total, in including this one.
Jan is the Nick Fury of Nuzlocking.
"I'd like to talk to you about the Kaizo Initiative."
I love that every other pokemon thrown out at CJ was met with, 'This one is going to pack him up'.
SmallAnt enters challenge.
Crushes it. Doesn't elaborate.
Leaves.
Like a hero.
The thing I love about CJ, especially as he plays more and more pokemon, is that his recovery play, while not perfect, often lets him clutch up unwinnable fights because he's able to take gambles a better player would just see as unwinnable and try to stall out and find a safe switch or guaranteed kill, leading them to just getting drained and being put in a totally unwinnable situation. And, yknow, sometimes what you don't know can't hurt you, not overthinking and overpreparing makes it easier to adapt to rng, and CJ demonstrates this pretty well (though tbh he could probably do a little more thinking and preparing...)
He's a really interesting player and with a slightly better grasp on the basics, he could pose a serious threat in the challenges he joins, yknow, as the wildcard of Wildcard!
i donno if pchal or any of his team reads the comments, but If you want to do some cool content that's easier to pump out next to these once-a-month videos, you should consider making videos of analysing the prep+battle of a few interesting trainer fights of your current run.
You have hundreds of hours of content to choose from, your audience likes the in-depth prepping and you could go for an educational angle, you could plug your twitch a whole bunch and make youtube-people feel more invested in your current runs, and you're already explaining the plan three times over during the stream for every battle, so the content is literally already there!
If you just wanna post once a month thats fine too, but I think it's a bit of a no-brainer to make like one or two 5~20 minute videos taking a look at/explaining some fun/interesting/notable fights. I know you have Pchal-Daily, but this could be a middle-road way to leverage all the hours of content you have over on twitch :]
What he's able to depends probably a bunch on what his sponsors require in a video, such as video length
@@jackveith2416 you could def have some longer form break downs of fight prepping but I'm pretty sure that's patreon content or something that would go on the patreon
My guy, Pchal daily is exactly what you are describing if you have a tiny bit of game knowledge
@@zorimanar2247 yeah it'd be kinda like pchal-daily in a sense l guess, but i envision something more like a zoomed-in analysis at individual fights instead of just clipping a part of the stream(s).
Like, go over the team mon-by-mon to explain why they are tricky (could be post-com/scripted), explain the team-building process and what you were looking for, why choices were made and explain why certain ideas were discarded etcc, and then show the battle as a clip from the streams. 5~10 minutes per fight, 2~3 fights per video.
Something like that would be more effort than pchalDaily but less effort than the once a month bigger videos, which l think could be just what pchal is missing at the moment
@@Sponsie1000 the problem is that it would hurt the main channel in the algorithm. That’s why pchal daily exists.
Cj is the main character, you're just his mentor witnessing nuzlocke greatness
"Somebody has to be dogshit and I'm going to be that guy." Inpsiring.
Smallant is the only TH-camr I believed when he said that he doesn’t nuzlock because he thinks it’s too easy. The man is just too smart
i always know i have my bills right around the corner when pchal uploads
Smant walked into this like it was his morning coffee and needed a warm-up before doing his REAL challenges
I think unironically Cj is the most enjoyable of the 3 runs to cut back to. The other 2 are playing similar to each other so there isn't much to say besides they're making good choices and picking good matchups, and then you have the wild card that is Cjay who, every time they cut back to him I feel like i'm on the edge of my seat, hoping he'll make it through the challenge
That's the thing with this kinda box, the puzzle is pre solved and it relies on the creator to build to team and fight it out. The content challenge would be miserable with a properly ran box
Small Ant- Locked In PChal
Patterz- PChal 3/4 of the way through a gauntlet
CJ- PChal's chatters
"It's of course a huge time commitment for anyone that makes content"
"Okay gonna run Kaizo Ironmon now"
LMAO
"You know what? i'm not prepping at all!"
"half of this video is CJ"
O H D E A R
pchal: that's actually so smart, no item torkoal to prevent knock off. this is so broken.
cjya: oh wait. i forgot to put items...
when i tell you i had to pause the video and laugh for a solid minute. the unintentional comedic timing
I love watching CJ play Pokemon because he always brings a real "fuck it we ball" attitude to the game that is so fun to watch.
i think what this really shows is the strengths and weaknesses in the difference in philosophy between hardcore Nuzlockers as a whole (represented here by SmallAnt) and the way Patterz/GameBoyLuke/The Core 4 all think. the hardcore Nuzlockers plan for EVERYTHING, but while it didn't happen to Ant sometimes things can go wrong and one mistake or AI quirk you didn't plan for disrupts the entire line because everything is planned out so rigidly going into a fight. meanwhile, i'd hazard a guess that many of us are fans of the other side of nuzlocking as well, and most of us are fans of those creators because they're personality driven, do collabs frequently, and the core 4 in particular have joked in the past in various ways about how when the collab is happening the gameplay is more or less secondary to the conversations which are pretty funny and out there. patterz though has done quite a few soul link cagelockes, which that very specific format brings out the true virtue in the other half of the nuzlocking community: the ability to let things you didn't expect kinda roll off your back and adjust moment to moment, with the team you bring just having a lot of general answers even if nothing specifically hard counters a mon or 2 on the opposite team. that's what we saw with patterz after the few deaths he had, everyone noticed that none of the unexpected non-sac deaths really bothered him, he just recalibrated in the moment and went "okay next move." he didn't account for bulk up AI, but while it made him a little nervous he just went, again, "okay next move" and that's the real virtue of the side of nuzlocking we don't see in the hardcore half. SmallAnt went clean and deathless, but i think Patterz won simply for being able to adjust minute to minute. and then CJ was there purely for content.
Jan: Please, put your time and energy into a nuzlocke
Smallant: I'm sorry. I must go break the pencil sharpening world record.
Jan evolved from criticizing nuzlockers to recruiting them
2:56 To be fair, "does steel resist dark?" is a legitimate question nowadays.
I have no idea whether this particular mod uses the gen 3 type chart or the current one.
This was like watching the original Yu-Gi-Oh where SmallAnt and Patterz are Kaiba and Yugi playing with carefully crafted skill while CJ is Joey with his heavy gambling addiction.
“An expert in run and bun early game with hundreds of attempts” kinda brutal description lmao
>Sees pchal video
>Checks date
“Static actually could be really useful here.” Statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged
"We're gonna play kaizo ironmon now" oh smallant, your comedic timing is impeccable.
CJ is just 99% of pure, unadulterated faith lol
Walrein
Sometimes faith is all you need ~
At this point I’m convinced this is Smant’s world and we’re just living in it
Wow, NBA season haven't started and we already received the best buzzer beater this season!
gold
i fuckin love the "thats not what togedemaru does does on this fight at ALL"
smant: actually theorycrafting like a seasoned nuzlocker
cj: fuck it we ball
I like how smallant planned out every fight perfectly and is barely in the video
Just gonna say you 100% should have put an egg in Box 5 for everyone to see if they would have the temptation
“Pokemon is an endurance sport” is crazy LMAO
you've played at least one game against hard stall, you should get it
Doesn't matter when the upload is. A pChal upload in my subbox always makes me smile.
Wait a minuteeeee
Bots are gonna be single forever
I love CJ's "jiu-jitsu doesnt work if you just stand up" energy here
Completely unironically convinced Smant could beat it.
Still haven't managed to get further than the desert myself. Malding and balding non stop
l fell apart to the trainer with ArenaTrap dugtrio which is like the first trainer past the desert :/
Smant god damn demolished everyone who has ever played that game in that one moment, and that's why he's my GOAT.
Bro hits us fellow Germans with the midnight upload... sleep can wait
fax
Stimmt Alter! Was für ein Glück dass ich heute keine Kursen habe
Who needs sleep anyway. 2am rn, just realised he uploaded. Count me in.
Steel resists dark was such an underrated statement by cjya. Since it`s one of the few type interactions, that changed between generations.
I know you're joking Yan when you call yourself trash, but I genuinely do want to clarify that your gameplay and planning is insane. I've watched every upload of your Run & Bun attempts over on pChal Daily. I'm so hooked and I'm rooting for you!
I like how the 3 different players perfectly represent Lawful, Neutral and Chaotic Alignment!
Thumbnail should have had Small ant standing unconcerned as the others run away.
Smant playing on a Switch not even paying attention cause he got it all figured out the night before as the others flee lol
Loved the way they talked about how intensive RnB is for someone who makes content right before Smallant says “so now we’re gonna play some Kaizo Ironmon”
I love the stream style content with other creators!! This and the races are a great way for Jan to keep his money up while he is doing larger projects in the back. Keep it up man!
cj's epic low rolls and dodges were straight comedy. I was actually sad he didn't win at the end
Bro literally uploaded this with 5 minutes to spare
Without knowing the exact IVs and natures, I think CJ still had a chance at the end. Lead araquanid and sticky web+do enough damage for Breloom to kill with brick break or miracle seed seed bomb if you soaked. Sack eldegoss to Pidgeot to get speed drops for jynx to win. Sack jynx to cinccino so Breloom can kill using the sticky web. Send in chesto Donphan on Meloetta's relic song and bait cc into Xatu. Cheri Xatu wins and is sacked to Azu, then Breloom kills Azu and chips Diggersby enough for Donphan to kill with ice shard. Any heart scales remaining should be used first on Breloom attack, then Breloom nature if possible.
Scales could also be used on Jynx or Xatu's special attacks or defenses for anything.
I return after calcs with the unfortunate conclusion that Breloom does not outspeed Cinccino in sticky webs.
If we completely take out donphan and instead sack something else to Pidgeot and eldegoss to cinccino then maybe there's still a chance but it would be significantly riskier.
Smant is a next level breed of gamer bruh
That *Throw chop* was incredible
No commentary on Smallant's past the first video implying that Smallant is better than the commentators if he actually tried at this game :D
i mean... it IS smallant
Smallant might be better than Squerk, but I don't think he's better than Jan and idk for Moxi.
@@owenaspinall2046 maybe he could become as good, but they're hardcore specialists
Cjya: the answer to “is it better to be smart or lucky?”
highly recommend the Pchal Daily videos of his Run & Bun attempt, it's so entertaining to see the cooks.
If Smant ever found the time to play Run & Bun I would watch the SHIT out of that. He plays so clean and his cooks are really fun and refreshing!
Pokémon Challenges is always there to let me know when the month is over
literally clicked off of Drxx's Black2 Redux video and onto this one- the pokémon streamer sphere has been BUSY lately we have been absolutely blessed with content
End of the month videos Pog
"Expert in the Run & Bun early game" is a lot of words for "skill issue"
End of the month wooo
What a fun vid! Really enjoyed the different approaches and the giggly commentary.
Smallant is stupidly smart
And CJ is smartly stupid
@@joecoral5551 😭 he's doing his best
lowkey considering that patterz didnt prep he played kinda insane
Honestly the people all involved in this video make for a great balance of humor. Love that you're having a killer fucking year!
The feeling of not knowing you need something until you see you’re missing is probably one of the worst feelings ever. I say all of that to say that pchal and smallant calc-ing in a run and bun soul link is going to be a fever dream that brings tears to my eyes until it happens
"ok lets go back to the content" before watching CJ again was wild
You can see the joy leave pChal's eyes at 18:54 when the second flinch lands. CJ was running with it, oh my lord.
Challenge starts
Smallant: this is too easy im going to make it harder on myself😅
16:50 that yugioh music in background perfect. love how smallant plays
Smant is just built different, and he shows it in every video
Serious question, how is Flygon the "bait" choice? Using him defensively seems like a decent option all things considered because of Levitate and good typing. You can definitely use him as a pivot.
Jan using PMD music in the background is unfathomably based
Jan promised us like, more consistent uploads, and a bunch of other stuff months ago right? Why hasn't he fullfiled that promise? It's this game. This game bent this man's will, and obsession only to be fixated on this challenge. What's the name of the channel? Pokemon Challenges. This game is indeed a Pokemon Challenge. So of course Jan's pride and honour are at stake here. If he does not beat it, the name loses it's meaning, the play is's main actor, the ying it's yang. I salute this man's determination, his nerves of steel, his unwielding perseverance. Godspeed Jan. Godspeed.
cyja the casual actually putting nuzlockers out of business LMAO
This was a great idea, and with CJ for the comic relief it's a top video entertainment wise. Great work :)
SmallAnt rizz is inescapable.
Cjya funniest man on twitch.
I love every video these two men are in, and would do just about anything to get a beer with them.
So Smallant continues to be great at everything I see.
This was a fun watch. The luck for some and some other making all the correct choices and some less ideal was a fun mix up on how people play their games so different.
Two people who have experienced and beaten kaizo ironmon and CJ, who is here for the vibes
Great style of video! Love the different perspectives and would like to see more like this with less niche solutions so it’s a bit harder like you were saying
Cjya makes me so excited and so angry at the same time because my internal pokenerd is crying.
Smant is insane in pokemon, destroying with that classic smug look on his face 😂
4:20
Cjya is at a level I aspire to be one day
Whoever was using music from YuGiOh The Sacred Cards, I respect that
