As Feraligatr is available in the game now, you should try a Nuzlocke in Scarlett and violet with Feraligatr, Krokodile and Skeledirge. Name it ' croclocke '
Alolan Ninetales has quickly become one of my favourite pokemon after using it in Violet. Snow warning and blizzards make for a pretty good bulky and specially offensive pokemon.
SAME! I've been using a Prankster Whimsicott to set up Tailwind, then Snow Warning Alolan Ninetails to set up Aurora Veil, then just spamming Blizzard & Helping Hand while taking half damage from everything. Never realized how much fun double battles could be
Galar Darmanitan vs Charizard mini animation went so unbelievably hard. You should definitely work that kind of thing into more videos, either very special moments or a full champ battle? I absolutely loved it!
Yep. I was surprised to find that there's someone who didn't get that situation. She literally leaves behind the Reaper Cloth item to further prove she's a ghost. Like... How is it confusing???
For what it's worth, I'm a huge fan of watching videos that have been uploaded for less time than their lengths are. It's kinda like a feature film debut.
Loved the nickname theme, though I am ashamed to admit it took me 'till D'Coffee to figure it out. The hardest to figure out was Luge, though I I had never heard of what her name is based on. Great video, and I'm excited to see what you have in store for 2024, that Snaplocke of Renegade Platinum sounds like a fun ride. Props to whoever made that finale art too, that was killer. For viewers that didn't get the theme, put ice in front of any of the team member's names. My favorite is Osceles.
Been having a bit of a rough time lately, but that Boltund gag gave me a sorely needed case of the giggles. Thank you so much for putting out such consistently solid content and I look forward to whatever you end up doing next year! (Also good job playing around G-max Duraludon, thought that would be a bigger problem for you)
Even among all of your excellent content you’ve been putting out recently, this one really stands out to me. Super dramatic storytelling and edge-of-my-seat gameplay moments, and an excellent nickname theme, equal parts funny and charming. Plus, that little animated touch at the end there is beautiful! Brilliant stuff!
Your editing is always great, but I feel like the sound editing on this video was on another level. Extremely well done! The animated part in the end was also amazing. Also, RIP Swinub.
This is one of your best videos. The humor's on point, the strategies are sick and the last animatics at the end are the cherry on top. Way to close out the year with a bang.
The animation was unexpected but so beautiful. You always bring such a story to your runs, it makes them so enjoyable to watch. Looking forward to seeing what you do in 2024!
It does get a lot of flak because of the trees (graphics), lack of voice acting (especially for piers in his intro cutscene), bad story, dexit and weird Pokémon designs (they are honestly some of my favourite ones). Also dynamax but I personally like the designs of gigantamax Pokémon more than megas even though megas are objectively better gimmick wise. I personally like swsh but I do agree that they were some of the objectively worst Pokémon games, as sad as that is and makes me.
That animation at the end was a pleasant surprise, it really helped seal the deal on just how great it feels to beat these games on a nuzlocke. I also wish you a speedier recovery with COVID, AND wishing you a happy new year!
A Gen specific Locke in a later game would be cool! Gen 1 pokemon only or redone pokemon only etc. Great video as always! Can’t wait to see what you put out in 2024!
16 types? Whaaa? I've long been a believer that Swinub is in the top 10 cutest Pokemon, that little guy is great. Paula is a ghost, you find a Reaper Cloth where she was if you return after delivering letter. I like that human ghosts occasionally pop up in these games.
the animation at the end of the Leon battle was so cool! certainly made it feel even more intense! I actually really like Sword/shield. it's a great game for monolockes as you can get many types much earlier than in other games
Fun idea for a run: Pokémon Red (or other Gen 1 game) with only “Alolan” forms. Essentially, you can only use Pokémon that received an Alolan Forme, but since they don’t exist in Gen 1, you’ll be using their normal forms instead.
I absolutely love this, it’s been a while since I tuned into a video and the gameplay and style is still fantastic with even better editing and quality! Great job Dr. Flygon HG!
Bro, I’ve been here since his very first video and when he was at like 3k subs. Crazy to see how much he’s grown and also the difference in his voice from the first video compared to now. Keep up the awesome work my dude!
Dude! Your videos keep getting better that Leon fight was fantastic! Seriously it’s been AMAZING watching you grow through the years starting from the first video I watched with how to wipe the emerald elite 4 with a belly drum lineune
I did a Hardcore Nuzlocke in this game using only Pokémon Markiplier would smash (highly recommend, it’s super fun) which means I’ve used Cloyster before the first gym before, so Jesus Christ do I know the power.
i never leave comments on your videos, but ive been having a pretty rough day today, and even rewatching (yes, rewatching- this is the third time ive seen this one!) your videos bring a smile to my face. as someone who's favorite type *is* the ice type, that little bit at the beginning never fails to get a laugh out of me... definitely not the only video tho to get me smiling. there are tons of us silent viewers, but i hope you know just how amazing of a content creator you are! your nuzlocking skills are always a wonder to see, and your both your video editing and scripts somehow manage to get better and better. keep up the amazing work, flygon!
You're awesome for not using set up moves. I did an ice type run in this game a long time ago and the strategy was nuts and never not a tense battle despite how "easy" sword and shield can be at times. It literally came down to me winning against Centiscorch bc of a delibird lmao
This is my first FlygonHG video, and I’ve been insulted in the first few seconds (ice is my favorite type) I love it. You had my interest and now you have my intention
SwSh don't get enough love! Def some of my favs. Love to see them here, and I think I might give a version of this challenge a go. Thanks for the inspo
I don’t normally comment on it, specifically, but the name theme here was hilarious and super clever. And man, that art at the end? Cold damn, that was awesome.
Loved the animation at the end! In 2024, I'd like to see more restricted runs in romhacks. Or non-typed themed runs, which we havent seen too often recently. Really looking forward to the RP snaplocke!
As an Ice Type specalist and Glaceon enjoyer Im happy to see you try this. I should have known you would you use double fox (my favorite strat) against Raihan.
NOT COVID! I hope you feel better soon! I'm currently fighting the same thing myself, and it SUCKS. Covid aside, this was an excellent playthrough. You always narrate these in such a great way that gets me attached to every Pokemon. I mourn the losses and celebrate the wins with you, and that really speaks to your style and skill. Fantastic Nuzlocke! also as a Piers simp that comparison to Spongebob made me laugh so hard because yes, he does indeed look like that
What do YOU have planned for National Swinub Day??
Feb. 20th is a holiday in Canada called Family Day so nothing really.
That’s my birthday! I’m honored to share my birthday with National Swinub Day.
You mean international swinub day?
I’m shiny hunting Swinub the entire day.
Update- I found one by accident and I’m naming it Age.
@jessevangijck you mean intergalactic swinub day
As Feraligatr is available in the game now, you should try a Nuzlocke in Scarlett and violet with Feraligatr, Krokodile and Skeledirge.
Name it ' croclocke '
If Dr.Oneball HG won't do it, I definitely will
Skeledirge can basically solo-locke those games, though.
Nuzcroc?
With krookodile doing much of the heavy lifting rest are just a burden...
I support this comment 💯
As someone who's actual favourite type is ice... That opening stung.
there are dozens of us! dozens!
You're important to me bro
right 😭
Yes, our favorite type is ice. Yes, we exist.
Same, and the hype on my favorite pokémon Swinub just for him to get killed 😢😢😢
The animation for the end of that final fight was SICK!
came to say this: MORE OF THAT DUDE!
The FullMetal Alchemist: Brotherhood score sampling was chef’s kiss in that moment as well.
Yesss!!!
I saw the title and i was like "omg flygon made another nuzlocke with my favorite pokemon type" and then the intro happened
Alolan Ninetales has quickly become one of my favourite pokemon after using it in Violet. Snow warning and blizzards make for a pretty good bulky and specially offensive pokemon.
SAME! I've been using a Prankster Whimsicott to set up Tailwind, then Snow Warning Alolan Ninetails to set up Aurora Veil, then just spamming Blizzard & Helping Hand while taking half damage from everything. Never realized how much fun double battles could be
Swinub Day sounds like a terrific idea, let's put it in my agenda real quickly!
I wanna make swinub chocolates to celebrate!🎉
Galar Darmanitan vs Charizard mini animation went so unbelievably hard. You should definitely work that kind of thing into more videos, either very special moments or a full champ battle? I absolutely loved it!
Just noticed this week how FlygonHG made only one Psychic Monolocke(In Omega Ruby).
Hope 2024 can finally bring a second Psychic run.
i hope so as well!! it's by far my fav type, i'd love one in unova (which literally every single psychic i love in)
This aged well
15:50 There's nothing big to it, Paula's just a ghost and you delivering the letter lets her finally move on
I was looking for this comment bc I was also overthinking the situation, thank you stranger!!!! 😅
Yep. I was surprised to find that there's someone who didn't get that situation. She literally leaves behind the Reaper Cloth item to further prove she's a ghost. Like... How is it confusing???
This is wonderfully coincidental, since I’m also doing a full Ice type run of Sword right now. Love these guys with my life.
Honestly, considering how that fight with Kabu went, I’m shocked you managed to finish this in one attempt. Happy New Years 🎉❤
im reading this right before the kabu fight starts, and it feels incredibly ominous
That wheezing Arctovish bit was amazing 😂
For what it's worth, I'm a huge fan of watching videos that have been uploaded for less time than their lengths are. It's kinda like a feature film debut.
Loved the nickname theme, though I am ashamed to admit it took me 'till D'Coffee to figure it out. The hardest to figure out was Luge, though I I had never heard of what her name is based on.

For viewers that didn't get the theme, put ice in front of any of the team member's names. My favorite is Osceles.
same omg, i literally didn't realize until icle was sent out again nearly 28 mins into the video.. i'm embarassed
What IS Luge based on?
@@salmonandsoup apparently something called an ice luge, basically an ice sculpture with holes built in to pour drinks through for parties.
@@lanceams483 ohhhhhh… that makes a lot of sense with how beautiful Alolan Ninetales is!
Ice O’Tope took me out. As did ice osceles
i didn't get the naming scheme at all until reading your comment lol
@@afrokidxxi was trying to figure out o’tope for ages, I got the naming scheme quickly but isotope didn’t clock for a while
That surprise animation at the end was so well done! We love a good vengeance sequence
Been having a bit of a rough time lately, but that Boltund gag gave me a sorely needed case of the giggles. Thank you so much for putting out such consistently solid content and I look forward to whatever you end up doing next year!

Brilliant stuff!
You’ve GOTTA do a six-Pokémon run in the vein of Spheal Team Six with the Swinub Squad in Platinum!
Your editing is always great, but I feel like the sound editing on this video was on another level. Extremely well done! The animated part in the end was also amazing. Also, RIP Swinub.
This is one of your best videos.
The humor's on point, the strategies are sick and the last animatics at the end are the cherry on top.

The animation was unexpected but so beautiful. You always bring such a story to your runs, it makes them so enjoyable to watch. Looking forward to seeing what you do in 2024!
HOLY THE CINEMATIC AT THE END WAS AMAZING
Glad Gen 8 is getting more love. It catches a lot of flak but I like it 😅 also ice is one of my favorite types!
It does get a lot of flak because of the trees (graphics), lack of voice acting (especially for piers in his intro cutscene), bad story, dexit and weird Pokémon designs (they are honestly some of my favourite ones).

@@THGMR-ox7sd hey at least the game doesn’t give you motion sickness
@@THGMR-ox7sd also the game actually has good graphics that don’t look like the Pokemon just got blended
@@Eonslightwhat game can give you motion sickness if your not playing in a car in which swsh can to
LOL THE NAMES. (ice) spice? (ic)icle, (ice) cube? brilliant work doctor oneball
Loving the content, the animation really amped up the emotions for that final fight.
As for ideas, Ponylocke?
:0 what abt a wolflocke
Always love a Flygon video, such a great combo of humor and strategy, but that animation took it to a new level! Incredible addition to the story.
Thank you for the ice type run, I have been absolutely addicted to watching ice type runs lately.
That animation at the end was a pleasant surprise, it really helped seal the deal on just how great it feels to beat these games on a nuzlocke. I also wish you a speedier recovery with COVID, AND wishing you a happy new year!
A Gen specific Locke in a later game would be cool! Gen 1 pokemon only or redone pokemon only etc.
Great video as always! Can’t wait to see what you put out in 2024!
I love Gordie. He's just really wholesome and supportive. Like, the way he encourages us during the gym mission is so sweet.
16 types? Whaaa? I've long been a believer that Swinub is in the top 10 cutest Pokemon, that little guy is great. Paula is a ghost, you find a Reaper Cloth where she was if you return after delivering letter. I like that human ghosts occasionally pop up in these games.
the names are easily the best naming theme I have ever seen from a Flygon vid. O'Tope and Osceles have to be my favorites
WOOOOOO! ICE TYPES!!! love u flygon, happy to be here!!!
Ice are my favorite type too! Love Froslass, Dewgong, Glaceon, Cloyster, and Alolan Ninetales
Flygon that edit on pokemon that can go F themselves is genuinely top tier! Hilarious, great video work!
Been watching his videos from the start to the present in the last couple weeks and to see him become more energetic as time goes on is hilarious
I know Froslass is all the rage when it comes to nuzlockes, but my favorite ice type has got to be Glalie.
GLALIE DESERVES RESPECT.
@@derricktan5166 You bet it does!
Froslass is superior sts
Sorry bro, Froslass is just objectively the better pokemon in every way. :(
@@Bludgeoned2DEATH2except in visual design. Glalie gen 3 art sprite is fucking metal
Lmao, that list at 18:34 is absolutely hilarious 😂
As someone whose birthday is February 19th, I am honored to share a day so close to Swinub Day ❤
Thanks for another great year of content! I’m always glad to see your videos in my feed and I’m sure that’ll continue into next year. Rest well!
Please keep the list of Pokemon that can go… you know around as a long running gag
i simultaneously cackled and went "oof... yeah" when I saw spiritomb there
Started a white 2 randomizer nuzlocke today, and named a trapinch "One Ball"
could you make a genlocke project sometime as a series? You can use each pokemon only in one gen and you got to play each gen from 1 to 9
Thanks for a wonderful year of content! I'm sorry you have COVID and I hope you recover quickly!
Love seeing a return to the Galar region 🙌
the animation at the end of the Leon battle was so cool! certainly made it feel even more intense!
I actually really like Sword/shield. it's a great game for monolockes as you can get many types much earlier than in other games
AGE WAS TOO YOUNG......
Galarian-Hau's Boltund going so hard in that battle was hilarious.
Fun idea for a run: Pokémon Red (or other Gen 1 game) with only “Alolan” forms. Essentially, you can only use Pokémon that received an Alolan Forme, but since they don’t exist in Gen 1, you’ll be using their normal forms instead.
I absolutely love this, it’s been a while since I tuned into a video and the gameplay and style is still fantastic with even better editing and quality! Great job Dr. Flygon HG!
I honestly think ice should resist water attacks defensively. It would improve them a lot.
Grass and bug too. Like what are bugs and a bunch of leafs supposed to do against ice?
Also why is steel super effective against ice?
Bro, I’ve been here since his very first video and when he was at like 3k subs. Crazy to see how much he’s grown and also the difference in his voice from the first video compared to now. Keep up the awesome work my dude!
Dr Flygon Hg never fails to show us his skills with balls despite his late pregnancy.
HIS LATE WHAT
the nicknames you give your pokemon on these runs literally never disappoint
I liked my own comment
I always do that we have to stick together
I liked your comment too
I too liked your comment
I liked my own comment aswell
Ok
I thoroughly enjoy sword and shield runs for no reason, great video flygon, thank you for making 2023 a great year with your videos! See you next year
Dude! Your videos keep getting better that Leon fight was fantastic! Seriously it’s been AMAZING watching you grow through the years starting from the first video I watched with how to wipe the emerald elite 4 with a belly drum lineune
I did a Hardcore Nuzlocke in this game using only Pokémon Markiplier would smash (highly recommend, it’s super fun) which means I’ve used Cloyster before the first gym before, so Jesus Christ do I know the power.
You know... for the Kabu battle, you could've just taught Cloyster Hydro Pump via the move reminder...
i never leave comments on your videos, but ive been having a pretty rough day today, and even rewatching (yes, rewatching- this is the third time ive seen this one!) your videos bring a smile to my face. as someone who's favorite type *is* the ice type, that little bit at the beginning never fails to get a laugh out of me... definitely not the only video tho to get me smiling. there are tons of us silent viewers, but i hope you know just how amazing of a content creator you are! your nuzlocking skills are always a wonder to see, and your both your video editing and scripts somehow manage to get better and better. keep up the amazing work, flygon!
i love Ice-Osceles as a nickname. Truly one of the nicknames of all time
This is, both in idea and execution, one of the best nicknaming themes of all time.
finally the swinub appreciation i’ve been waiting for
That illustrated fight scene at the end was sweet!
Thank you for a fantastic year of videos! Looking forward to the next year to come :D
You're awesome for not using set up moves. I did an ice type run in this game a long time ago and the strategy was nuts and never not a tense battle despite how "easy" sword and shield can be at times. It literally came down to me winning against Centiscorch bc of a delibird lmao
Flygon sounding like he has a head cold kind of brings this whole idea together. I hope you feel better soon, Dr. Oneball H.G.
That animation at the end..breathtaking.
This is my first FlygonHG video, and I’ve been insulted in the first few seconds (ice is my favorite type)
I love it. You had my interest and now you have my intention
Watching your content over the years, I really see the progress in quality. KEEP IT UP FLYGONHG
Ice types are my favorite type of pokemon. I know their frail and generally weak against most other pokemon types, but they're still my favorite.
SwSh don't get enough love! Def some of my favs. Love to see them here, and I think I might give a version of this challenge a go. Thanks for the inspo
the only dude making sword/shield actually look fun, well played flygon
These are some of my favorite nicknames yet 😂
Gotta say that as an artist, it's been amazing to see small animations or commissioned art pieces in your videos!
Hearing Flygon call the dreidel Hitmon-flop took me out during the Bea fight, love the storytelling vibe of runs like these!
Bro, the animation shocked me at the end also its always great to get a FlygonHG video
Always enjoy your videos. Also enjoyed the snap vote. Would love to see a rock type playthrough of Sword or sun/moon
Wow! I had SO much more trouble against Piers & the dragon guy on my run through of an Ice Nuzlocke! Great job. I still have so much to learn.
I love Ice types so much. And i love the Gen 8 games. This is perfection
Happy swinub day!!! Watching that ending never fails to make me cry and I cannot explain why but I'm happy it does
Froslass' sacrifice shall never be forgotten
I don’t normally comment on it, specifically, but the name theme here was hilarious and super clever.
And man, that art at the end? Cold damn, that was awesome.
Loved the animation at the end!
In 2024, I'd like to see more restricted runs in romhacks. Or non-typed themed runs, which we havent seen too often recently. Really looking forward to the RP snaplocke!
Every week I go waiting for a flygonhg video and every week its a suprise when it drops on my TH-cam homepage!
That little animation at the end was really cool! Nice touch!
swinub is so cute i was so hype to see that little dude in the scarlet/violet dlc
beelined to where i could catch one asap
My favorite non-legendary Ice type is Weavile, so it was nice seeing him in the bit he appeared
Words cannot describe the laughter that escaped from me when he told Leon to chill.
Your pun name choices were absolutely on point!!
Omg I was dying of laughter when he was so seriously saying arcaninay but when I say it I snickered
we stan O'tope
I just love the pokemon designs for Galar, they are so delightful
As a ice type loving Bostonian who is kind of craving snow right now, this was great
This was a riveting challenge to watch! I love the passion you put into your videos and I can't wait for more!
As an Ice Type specalist and Glaceon enjoyer Im happy to see you try this.
I should have known you would you use double fox (my favorite strat) against Raihan.
AWESOME!!! the art at the end was so cool!!
okay, that animation at the end actually gave me chills. and no, i'm not saying that as a pun, it actually did, LOL
NOT COVID! I hope you feel better soon! I'm currently fighting the same thing myself, and it SUCKS.
Covid aside, this was an excellent playthrough. You always narrate these in such a great way that gets me attached to every Pokemon. I mourn the losses and celebrate the wins with you, and that really speaks to your style and skill. Fantastic Nuzlocke!
also as a Piers simp that comparison to Spongebob made me laugh so hard because yes, he does indeed look like that
