The naming convention is probably old run names, as ghost types are technically dead Pokemon
I believe the names come from his fainted ones in particular
No shit sherlock
Onion is breloom

@@angelicaph483 OH NO
Ghost is my flat out favorite type, so it can be hard to pick just one favorite, but I absolutely love Froslass. Dragapult, Mimikyu, Chandelure, Trevenant, and Aegislash joined Froslass as my personal team for my Ghost only run of Sword.
Gengar?
They used a team of 6
I decided against Gengar because it doesn't get enough Poison moves to take advantage of its secondary typing. The couple of types Poison is super effective against were ultimately covered by my other mons, so it wasn't a concern either. And I feel like Gengar gets enough love that I didn't feel guilty leaving it behind.
@@Maria.Annette yeah I wish his secondary typing was of use. But it's still probably my fav. Dragapult treveant and mimikyu are cool.
I 100% agree with everything you just said.
My sadness at you not using Runerigus is immeasurable however it was an amazing run either way.
Same lol
You know how difficult it would be to get that in a nuzlocke?
@@jameskleczek1464 focus sash
@@hotbabez420 or even endure
@@jameskleczek1464 There is a move called Endure y'now?
As a hardcore Gen 5er, Chandelure is my favourite ghost type, followed up by Aegislash (because it carried me through a Reborn ghost monorun)
Did a gen 8 mono ghost run that Aegislash carried me through pretty hard last year
I have the feeling that all those nicknames are from past pokemon who died in other nuzlockes
you got it
@@antlerboylive I DID IT :O
@@antlerboylive your an awesome youtuber
So onion is jaidens onion right?
@@antlerboylive so u named the ghastly onion because jaiden's breloom died💀
Almost 150k subs already for Miss Unova! This is why Antlerboy is the G.O.A.T love all your content and the commentary is insanely good
I don't know if I'm crazy but his voice sounds like it's from another TH-cam channel.. maybe Falcon from Gameranx?
That Pumpkaboo Shadow Sneak Ws in the first gym and last battle were truly poetic
Pumpkaboo is amazing with eviolite as stall
It can learn painsplit, leech seed for stall and as offensive capabilities it has its signature move Trick-or-Treat witch gives the opponent the ghost type and it learns foul play which can come in handy against Pokémon with high attack
Just thinking about Gen 2 vs. Slowpoketails in curry, firstly, I almost never do it because it makes me a bit uncomfortable, but more importantly, if you read between the lines a bit, it makes some sense. The Slowpoke in Azalea Town are central to a big part of their culture, so Team Rocket chopping off their tails would be very upsetting to them, especially if they’re available legally elsewhere. Kind of like “well, I know we have tree farms, but I’ma make my cupboard out of a chunk of this super sensitive ecosystem.” I’m not in any hurry to use the tails still, (seriously, Pokémon made me a lot more understanding of vegetarianism and the like) but that’s just a theory…
A SOMEHOW LEGALLY DISTINCT FROM GAME THEORY!
Oh right, also, Dusclops, due to Mystery Dungeon nostalgia. Fighting Rayquaza isn’t a fun prospect for a Machop, and Duskull being able to learn Ice Beam helped a lot. Then, once the team was max leveled, I let them wander, like usual. Eventually, Dair (like Dire, that’s teenage me’s naming conventions for you) wandered alone into an “all the dudes drop from the ceiling” monster house. So Machamp me starts stomping toward the room, but then, just as I get there, Dair just calmly saunters out of the now empty room, damaged but fine. Dusknoir’s still really cool, but Dusclops has that whole “I just swept that ambush room myself” thing on its side.
I have a feeling that the name theme was Pokémon that died in previous nuzlockes, the nincada was named coconut which dies in the Flying type in Ultra sun
i was trying so hard to find out the name theme
The nicknames are the first deaths in some of your nuzlockes
My favorite ghost type is probably Mimiku. It’s so cute!
For the Hop fight after the 5th gym, you could've evolved your yamask into runerigus: it can tank crunches from boltund due to its massive defense and hit both boltund and heatmor for STAB-super effective damage with bulldoze or the like.
Oh hell yeah, a Nuzlocke of my favourite Pokemon type posted on my birthday! 💜 My favourite ghosts are Drifloon, Aegislash, Decidueye and Dragapult.
deciduete is not ghost
@@SuperCloudz it is
Look at its dex
@@SuperCloudz I know it's not a ghost by the textbook definition of the word, but it's still ghost type :p
Happy Birthday!
Mismagius, Dragapult, Aegislash, Decidueye, and Mimikyu are my favorite ghost types!
Chandelure is my favorite
If your pinky toe turned blue and stayed that way for a month, you probably broke it.
I’ve binged your content AntlerBoy, and I gotta say, you’re easily my favorite nuzlocker. Absolutely hilarious in a fast paced manner while summarizing the gameplay makes for stellar content!
Dude, you win my heart with your comedy. I'm a big fan of censored/edited swear words and that 'Funny enough' joke was one of the best ones I've ever heard.
the naming theme was a tough nut to crack at first but i think Okidoki! gave it away. from what i can tell, its names youve used before, specifically names for pokemon who died during the run
my favorite ghost has to be gengar, i just love its ominous grin! it reminds me of my favorite fairytale character chesire cat♡ dragapult is also dope tho :D
Antler: monaco will be deathfather
Also Antler: monaco is the MVP of the run
Fave ghosty boi is probably gourgeist, lit shiny, cute face, and spooky vibe won me over
I feel like everyone's favorite ghost type is Mimikyu
I think it's cool
his task to be more popular than pikachu succeded
Yep
Nope not even close
Dragapult is also my favourite ghost type (love the design, fun to use, and, you see, to be the best way to be a parent you gotta y e e t t h e c h I I d e n.) But chandellure is a very close second (purple and black fire is pretty, the anime handles it and its pre evolutions great, and legends arceus has officially emoutionly scared me)
The reading the creepy ghost pokedex entries running joke with that voice was so funny, that lampent one made me do a spit take
Haven't finished but, 8:00, if you determine that Driftloon is of such great value to the run (it is, being such a good CM baton passer), why would you not switch in litwick on the max flutterby? 1x max flutterby + 1x g-max centiferno does a max of 75% on a high roll, and dynamax turns are up after that. I hear you saying that it won't do much back, but why not pivot through Shedinja on the max flutterby? That way, Litwick takes 50% max on Centiferno on the switch and the dynamax expires immediately after. I guess Litwick still probably dies there, but you had an out to protect Driftloon if it was that important to the integrity of your run, which I believe it was.
Quick edit: To be fair, this entire run was almost invalidated by Aegislash alone, so I get why taking the more aggressive route and hoping for the high roll wasn't a horrible play.
another quick edit: dynamax goes both way. and no rules state "no dynamax" so
Ghost is similar to the dark type (my favorite type), so it's one that I like as well. My favorite ghosts have to be Phantump, Mimikyu, or Sableye. It's such a good type.
my favorite ghost type would either be gengar or mismagius. they both have a cool design and both are very powerful ^^
Finally! Someone who likes Dragapult! Dragapult is an amazing Pokémon with incredible speed. I used one on my main team and it almost swept Leons entire team! God, I love Dragapult!
My favorite is Mimikyu, the little guy is so adorable 🥰
Ghost type! Such a cool typing dude
indeed :) How you been man?
@@antlerboylive I’ve been great dude, thanks for asking, just got back from a camp, I’m so sore XD, how’ve you been dude?
Favorite ghost is Dusclops by far, I've never known exactly why I like it, but I think it's for the same reason as why Muk is my favorite poison type. (I also don't know the reason for that
Gengar is my favorite pokemon cause it looks so fun and cool
Ghost is actually one of my favorite typings, so it is hard for me to pick a favorite. I would say it is a three way tie between Aegislash, Gengar, and Cofagrigus
When you ask which nuzlocke we would like to see next, im always hyped for randomlockes, those are by far my favorite since they force you to really unexpected teams. Random abilities also make it more fun, and if you are feeling chaotic throw in random moves
I’m pretty sure the theme is Pokémon of previous runs that were fainted
I remember Onion was the DP ground type run, Sinner was BW ghost type run, Monaco was SwSh Dark run(?), Rapunzel was SM fairy run, Gemini was ORAS psychic run, Okie Dokie was SwSh dragon run, and Skeleton was the XY ghost run, and Coconut was from the SM electric run
You got it!!!
This is actually insane timing, I just finished PLA with only Ghosts a week ago
I don't know how realistic this would be but it would be cool if you added a timer so we can see how long these runs take
It would be easy as the game records how long you’ve been playing
As much as I love Aegislash and all the other ghost types marshadow just tops them all easily Also the naming theme Is name is you named your past Pokémon in nuzlockes edit: It may also be all the naming themes Other nuzlockes Also I like most ghost types but Marshadow Is my second favorite Pokémon all the other ghost types are like top 20 my least favorite ghost type is probably Alolan marowak
My favorite Ghost Pokémon ever to exist is Mimikkyu! I’ve always love the idea and design behind Mimikkyu and it’s really good in combat with its disguise ability and fairy typing as well. Other ghost types that I love are also Gengar and Decidyue!
Gotta respect monaco for being such a chad in this run.
The Names Are Dead Pokemon From Old Nuzlockes
My favorite ghost type is dragapult
Also the name theme is previous names from other runs
veery close
Pokemon in previous runs that died
The ghost type is by far my favorite, as for my favorite ghost type I'd have to say it's close but Golurk is just so cool. I love the history behind it's creation being based on an awakened automaton or golem from the distant past. Rotom is also a great one, I love how they implemented it into common everyday technology starting in gen 7, really gives an underrated sense of worldbuilding in that way. Also the Old Chateau is just really neat too. I wish we could get some new rotom forms to use ingame, like a psychic type TV one with hypnosis as it's signature move or something.
bro said friends was a good show... I forgive you since your hardcore nuzlocke videos are awsome.
Yes finally a sword nuzlocke. I love your channel :)
He did a Sword dark type nuzlock i believe!
@@CroixatoniC I know he does many others. I’m just happy he’s back to my favorite pokémon game
Great Work Antlerboy you are amazing!
The little Sword/Shield and Pumpkin as the sole survivors. Didn't expect that!
20:55 when you somehow loose to hop but need more content
When will the egglocke come out? Love your vids btw!
this summer! IN 3D!!! no but seriously soon
@@antlerboylive awesome! can't wait!
Him: Catches a galarian yamask
also him: *proceeds to never use it*
I actually completed this run on my first play through of Pokémon Shield. Glad to see other people doing so.
Does anyone know if this is real or a bot and if it is real the Telegram name doesn’t work.
So, fun fact about pokemon base stats, they do not scale linearly. If a base stat was doubled, the actual stat of the pokemon would be less than doubled. What this means is that Gastly having a speed lowering nature doesn't make it comparable to a base 72 pokemon (that would actually Speed-tie Dreadnaw due to the low level), but you have to go as low as a 69 base speed pokemon to match Ghastly's speed due to just how the math works out. Even pokemon with 70 base speed will outspeed Ghastly at level 24 (assuming no EVs for anyone of course).
"There are dark types so this will be tough "
Mimikyu: am I a joke to you?
I do believe that the naming conventian is that of your fainted pokemon in previous runs. Very fitting concept for a bunch of ghost types
Sinister not being able to learn scald is probably the biggest most foul slap in the face about this generation of pokemon.
The fact that Gengar lost levitate means Haunter is my man!
Fitting that I watched this in October, the month of Halloween
I didn't know that shedinja was even a Pokémon since playing gen 6 ORAS. It was a surprise to me when I found out it was a Pokémon because I had a nincada in my party even though I didn't use it and then when my nincada evolved into ninjask I checked my party and then I saw a random Pokémon with 1 hp. It was a surprise for me ☺️.
The man is back! I really needed this, thanks for being awesome.
Ghost types are profoundly disturbing but super cool. Also my favorite ghost type is Sabelye
Pumpkaboo really ate and left no crumbs, hell Pumpkaboo ate the whole plate
You: Pumpkaboo is here for a sacrifice
Me after you kill the charizard with him: You were saying(BTW Pumpkaboo in my top 5 favorite pokemon and the fact that you beet the run with him made my day)
Ghost is my 2nd favourite type after dark so it's honestly tough to pick a favourite, I'd say it flips between Chandelure, Golurk, Aegislash and Hisuian Zoroark
Big fan of ghost Pokémon. I just wish there were more of them in other generations. It can be hard to find enough to make a nuzlocke run viable IMO
An Interesting Challenge I would love to see you try is Black/White with only normal types. 8 total encounters would be really challenging but also super fun to watch. Love your content Antlerboy!
Gengar and Dragapult are my go-to ghosts.
2:32 you broke one of your own rules by capturing a nincada
For the Shedinja, you yutz.
The writing for these videos is genius. “What the fu- nny enough…” 2:58
I noticed the haunter face and died of laughter
Shrek is love shrek is life
Challenge runs, with there own narrative. My new favourite thing.
the ghost type is my favorite type! not only is dragapult my favorite ghost type, it’s my favorite pokémon, peroid.
your humor is always on point
Idea for a hard Nuzlocke, same rules of this one but any mon goes, the only thing to add in, No switching Pokémon allowed in battle, you can set up before a fight but the only way to change what mon is out is by it getting KO'ed and then you must switch to the next mon on the list in order. This would add a much harder element to the challenge as you would need to know the fights and plan hard core to get this one done. Only small thing to make it more doable is that if a mon is KO'ed you can go back and catch a new mon from the route you got it from 1 time, this will allow double the mons in the run if its needed. If you can pull this off then you can use it for a type challenge like this one and see how far you can take it.
"Yet he forgets to put on pants!!"😂
I gasped when I saw you name your Dreepy Zim, I love invader zim SM 19:51
Ever since Sabrina's Haunter debuted on the anime, Haunter has been my absolute fav and is a staple in all of my teams, but Pumpkaboo/Gourgeist is quickly becoming a favorite as well because of its dex entries. I would absolutely love to be a ghost-type trainer. I just don't quite know how to build effective ghost-type only teams. I'll learn eventually.
I have an few Ideas.
1. A Nuzlocke using only Pokemon with 4x weaknesses.
2. A Nuzlocke with no STAB attacks.
3. A Nuzlocke with Pokemon with only one typing.
Yo! He's naming them after dead Pokémon from previous runs! That's such a good theme!
I guess the naming theme for this one is names of pokemon that either fainted in older runs or came close to it
Congrats on 150k subs
Mimikyu is my fav ghost type. I love the story behind it and I just love it 🥰
“When taking spirits to the afterlife small pumpkaboo prefer the spirits of children to those of adults” “ everything about hipno am I a joke to you
Good old Pumpkaboo, saving the run on the last hurdle
Omg. I did this as my own gym leader playthrough but not as a hardcore nuzlocke. Im excited.
To answer the questions from the beginning. My favorite is Golurk from just how cool it looks.
"In school, I once stubbed my pinky toe" -
*Say no more*
I really love haunter, litwicks whole line, dragapult, and hisuian typhlosion. But honestly I love them all. Ghost is by far my favorite typing.
Lake of Outrage:
Rotom>>>>>>>>>>Dragapult
Big sad you didn't get Golurk who is one of my favorites, but great work on the video. You make it look so easy that I think I can do it.
Can't believe the pumpkin saved the run lmao
half of my downloads on youtube are your videos. You are so entertaining keep up the good work
Babe wake up another antlerboy nuzlock just dropped
Assuming that every ghost Pokémon was once a living creature, this nuzlocke was auto lost right from the start :D
19:41 golurk: am I a joke to you?!?
18:52 Actually, Aegislash got nerfed this gen, they removed 10 points in it's defensive stats, which means it has 140 defenses now. pretty big nerf.
Honestly, if I had to choose a favorite Ghost-type, I’d have to go with Golurk due to the inspiration from ancient clay golems.
I did a ghost monotype run not long ago, and I have to say, Aegislash really surprised me. I'd never used it before, but it turned out to be the MVP of the team. Definitely earned its place at one of my favourites.
Chandalure. It's just so elegant and it evolves from a literal candle.
CHANDELURE IS SPELLED WITH 2 E'S, NOT 2 A'S!
the nicknames is a mix of all the names used in previous nuzlocke videos
I also did this run and it was so much fun!
Ghost types are actually amazing plus Aegislash, Drifblim and Pumpkaboo clutched for me so much.
Plus Dragapult supremacy
