      This is when I lack confidence while doing a nuzlocke challenge, but somehow, I pulled through, having lost only 1 Pokemon.
      My Final Pokemon Team when I fought Ghetsis: (I won, but with a Pokemon sacrifice. Poor Darmani...)
      Kirby (Samurott) (Still alive) (Kirby is a star Pokemon against Hydreigon for the first time, the second starter Pokemon surviving until the end.)
      Zapster (Zebstrika) (Still alive) (fighting Carracosta without activating Sturdy)
      Lomax (Whimsicott) (Still alive) (A kindhearted Pokemon that survived)
      Lueroi (Excadrill) (Still alive) (skillfully dodging a Focus Blast)
      Sunbloom (Simisear) (Still alive) (Landing Fire Blast 2 times in a row)
      Darmani (Darmanitan) (died in battle) (Bouffalant used Head Charge to knock out poor Darmani, but knocked itself out in the process)
      Kirby the Samurott have a close near death moment where Kirby lived on 1 HP remaining with the Hydreigon nearly scaring Sunny. And Kirby hit Megahorn, knocking out Hydreigon. I brought in Darmani, thinking an Expert Belt Superpower will leave Bouffalant on a small amount of health and knocks Darmani out with Head Charge, and also knocking itself out in the process. This saddens me quite a lot because Darmanitan is my favorite Pokemon, and now I don't have a strong Fire-Type Pokemon anymore. Seismitoad came out next, and I brought in Lomax, Giga draining it. Eelektross came out, I keep Lomax in to set up Leech Seed. I didn't know that Eelektross know Flamethrower, I swap into Sunbloom to bait Flamethrower coming. Eelektross used Wild Charge, but considering that Sunbloom has a bold nature, he was able to survive, and knock out Eelektross. Ghetsis sent out his final Pokemon, Bisharp. Sunbloom hit Fire Blast, and I won the Pokemon Black nuzlocke challenge.
      That was an emotional rollercoaster. I was able to do the nuzlocke challenge with fear, and I won with the least amount of confidence.

      I remember going through lot of struggle, losing every pokemon I loved, yet surviving the nuzlocke at last and beating the game in my first ever nuzlocke, and then follow it up with absolutely easy nuzlocke playthrough with no pokemon losses only to be swept by the first elite four. Really shows the Turtle vs Rabbit story in its extreme.

    The fact that Charizard died to an overconfident and avoidable error just barely before the rest of the team got swept by a move it would've been immune to is tragic. The fact that the one temporary team member who got to shine for a bit earlier, Murkrow, would have also been immune to the very same move; and the earlier death of Crobat make it all a true comedy of hubris.

      Sunny: I think it will leave it at 1 health left... Yep, knew it.
      Bouffalant: Uses Head Charge, and knocks itself out
      Sunny: Darmani, no! Oh no... Ghetsis is going to use Eelektross... Come out and fight, Lomax!
      Lomax: (sets up leech seed to sap away at Eelektross's health)
      Sunny: It knew Flamethrower?!
      Oh dear, come out and fight, Sunbloom!
      Sunbloom: Resisted Flamethrower. Now to defeat Eelektross. Done.
      Sunny: His last Pokemon! Bisharp! I was pretty much banking on Darmani for this fight, but Sunbloom will be able to knock it out.
      Sunbloom: Fire Blast!

      @@Wapfgaming Honestly I don't think Flygon is even a counter, at least not in this playthrough. Flygon admittedly has a great defensive typing, being immune to ground and resisting both rock and fire. But what can Flygon actually do to Groudon? Earthquake? Dragon Breath? Neither of those would do much damage. I'm like 90% sure Groudon beats Flygon just by using Bulk Up and Slash.
      The only way I think Flygon actually handles Groudon is with some combination of Protect/Substitute/Toxic, and there's no way Alpharad would actually have this in a casual playthrough.

      @@dominickperez2952 Dragon breath is simply too weak. A 60BP move (90 with STAB) from a mere base 80 SpAtk isn't enough to beat Groudon one-on-one. Solar beam would be 33% better but I think that runs into the same issue as I mentioned before - Flygon doesn't learn Solarbeam naturally and I can't imagine Alpharad teaching it the TM.
      To be clear I agree that Flygon would've been useful. Perhaps Flygon could've outsped and finished off Groudon with two dragon breaths, surviving one Slash in between. But my original point is true. Flygon is not a counter by any means.

      It's odd how you've all been talking about Dragon Breath without mentioning its 30% paralysis chance. Given some RNG, that pesky status condition may well swing the match for Flygon.
      By the way, Ground types are not immune to paralysis. They're just specifically immune to Thunder Wave.

    9:03 I once decided to shiny hunt Beldum in pokemon platinum. During the week it took to get a radar chain going, I realized that simply using false swipe wasn't going to work because _in addition to_ having the lowest catch rate possible, Beldum also only knows takedown which causes recoil damage and means that lowering it's health will just cause it to KO itself. I literally had to go and catch a ghastly and teach it hypnosis just to guarantee that I wouldn't lose Beldum to recoil damage, _AND EVEN THEN_ I did a test run where I played everything perfectly, lowered it's health to red, put it to sleep at every opportunity and threw nothing but dusk balls and ultra balls... and the Beldum still got away cause it ran out of PP and struggled to death.
    Even with unlimited resources I couldn't find a way to guarantee I catch this stupid piece of metal, and yet here Alpha goes and gets it first try.

    This run literally reminds me of Stardust Crusaders' ending where DIO is just invincible and almost has a guaranteed victory but is defeated by his cockiness and carelessness. Alpharad is like DIO who thinks his Groudon is "the ultimate pokemon" (like The World) but is defeated by Juan who has "the same type of pokemon" but with a clever strategy (like Star Platinum).

    This reminds me of my second playthrough of Black 2. I progressed through the game just barely enough that you could transfer pokémon from the Dream Radar AR game. So, I effectively started with level 5 Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Lugia, Ho-Oh, and Landorus as my team. It was honestly one of the most fun Pokémon runs I've ever had made even better by the fact that it was 100% legitimate.
    I mean, until the end, obviously.
