This is insane, incredible job. The coolest thing about a run like this is that it allows you to play a pokemon game with significantly less RNG while also making it immensely difficult. Makes planning harder but also way more valuable.
I noticed that while it was more terrifying having to take 1.5 damage from each attack it's also somewhat reassuring not having to worry about taking random 1.5 damage
Same vibe in Smallant’s ‘worst luck’ run. He had to deal with the same 100% crit rate, but he also had to ensure his attacks had 100% accuracy (if they could miss, they would always miss), among other things. Basically whatever the worst possible thing that could happen, no matter how unlikely, it would always happen It was way more difficult but it turned battles into puzzles, where smant just had to find the right solution
“Guess I found Ratatouille’s missing L” I lost it right there. Another great run and a unique mod! I’m surprised this hasn’t been done yet from what I’ve seen
@@starcrusher7304but the challenge is "enemy always lands a crit", that would most likely cover abilities too. the challenge is everything does 2x damage and ignores stat buffs, not how to dodge crits. of course its a nuzlocke so it would ultimately be up to the person doing it(or the modder creating it). if you think about it, one way partially breaks the challenge, the other just makes 1 ability worthless for the challenge.
This reminds me of a type of run I used to see on the nuzlocke forums way back when called 'Worst Luck Possible' nuzlockes. Basically this but much worse. All the opponents attacks are guaranteed to both hit and crit regardless of accuracy or evasion and are also guaranteed to proc any additional effects. So headbutt flinched 100% of the time, Ice beam always froze etc, and all adverse affects would last the maximum turns possible when you suffered them. The opposite was also true, meaning any move you made with less than 100% chance to hit would always miss, plus a bunch of other stuff I'm probably forgetting. It turned the game into basically a puzzle game, since you were guaranteed to always get the worst results possible, you knew exactly what would happen each turn and had to plot surefire paths to victory. The guy that did the runs unfortunately never made his roms public though, but the runs are still viewable on the wayback machine sort of.
@@57mac01not really lmao bcus it just means you have to do a shit ton more planning. Imagine if this same planning was done for a normal run it would just breeze through the game cus the 1/16 crit would be so irrrelevant
The scariest thing about crits is that you never know when one is going to happen. If you know they're gonna happen 100% of the time, it just turns into an increased damage run. Still challenging, but I find it interesting it can be thought of that way
Not necessarily. Increased damage runs would still allow set up moves to have a use. Crits bypass any defense buffs and offense drops of the user, making strategies more limited
I agree with you on the Rare Candies, Flygon. I stream myself, and my early streams were a lot of me just grinding for an hour or so on speedup with some music on, having very little to talk about. Sometimes chat is active and I get to talk to people, but sometimes it isn't, and while my viewers have said they enjoy the chill streams where I'm just grinding and rambling or listening to some music, they also agreed that it's more fun for me and them if I just use rare candies sometimes. Honestly, I don't really see the point that it cheapens the challenge. The challenge is how well I can beat the game within the restrictions, not how long I'm going to stay patient and grind on low level pokemon.
Agree. The challenge still is there with all trainer battles. Using candies instead of grinding is in reality a sort of disadvantage: leveling up (in a mode where there are level caps) with candies and not with SELECTED wild encounters means that a player train their pokemons in usefull EV less efficently. For example a Kadabra level up by candies and not by defeating 600 low level Gastlys (? Or Gastlies?) take less SpAtt EVs, and since it is usefull against fighting pokemons, it takes some (not needed) Att EV.
@@alessiodaniotti264 and that brings uo how stupid the EV system is, to specifically train your pokemon to be strong in a given stat you must only kill SELECTED pokemon and in the base games would have no way of knowing that. (Also I don't know if the games prior to gen 4 even tell you that spec / phys attack is based on move type and not the move, and some pokemon like sneasle have crazy high attack but garbage spec atk despite only having stab on spec atk) But you are 100% right, using rare candies deprives you of EVs in the early game so using candies is a gameplay disadvantage, and what you gain by using them is skipping litteral days of grinding that was going to be edited out of the final video anyway. (A worth while trade for any streamer/content creator to not lose real irl days to grinding that doesn't meaningfully contribute to their content)
FlygonHG: The Whismur line has a very special skill set that will be invaluable to this fight. Me: You mean because it has soundproof against sonicboom and supersonic, right? FlygonHG: … Me: Because it has soundproof, right?!
I love the whismur line, but its blamd enough to always be the logical sack. And a crit explosion/self destruct is litteral murder that nobody is surviving without sturdy/sash. I actually really value the psyduck line for the damp ability (cloud nine is cool but if i had to choose between baning self destructs or nullify weather I'm taking damp every time).
thank you making pokemon fun for me again I'd never really thought nuzlockes would be fun but I'm loving them currently in the middle of a wonderlocke on x
Other streamers: “I got crit! Ugh!!! Are you kidding me!” Flygon: “We’re gonna have to always, always, ALWAYS… play around the critical hit.” This run really proves that it’s possible. This, the Snaplockes, the baby-only run, and the incredibly strange Inverse Platinum are some of my all-time favorite Pokémon-related content. Thanks Flygon!

@@revalentinemashups510 I don't think it would trivialize it. Hoenn notoriously has a lot of Water. It'd make some battles easier but Arnaldo isn't really great resistance-wise.
This isn't the first time I've been slightly confused about a nickname theme in one of these videos before it hit me like a ton of bricks a few days later. Critically acclaimed films. Box office hits. I finally get it. Seriously though the naming conventions are always really good. Either super clever so it's a fun puzzle to solve or just flat out hilarous (a la emerald flying type monolocke). I love it.
At the same time it made the challenge harder, it made it more predictable, which is incredibly important at a nuzlock. I think it struck a nice balance! Great run, as always.
I was hoping for a nuzlocke where the AI always crits and I can't believe I actually got it from you. You're so good and so entertaining and I'm looking forward for more nuzlockes like this in gen 4 and 5
Your content has always been absolutely amazing, but i think this is the first time your writing has somehow surpassed the insanely high quality gameplay and editing. I’ve been watching since the beginning and watching your writing and editing skills improve is almost as fun as watching you improve at nuzlocking
I love the names this run! I can't believe i saw someone reference the lighthouse in a non-cinema circle :) Love this channel, keep up the amazing work Dr. Flygon.
The jokes in this one were all really funny, & I think that + how thorough you are with your commentary makes you one of the best Nuzlocking youtubers out there!
great video! this challenge sounds really, uh, challenging, but the silver lining i bet is that you KNOW the moves will ALWAYS crit so you don't have to play around the CHANCE of a crit, but the reality of one every single attack... fun stuff!
I really appreciate how you use they/them for pokemon that don't have a gender. It's a small and maybe strange thing to notice and be happy about, but still.
I'm not enby I'm just a trans dude but it definitely feels nice to have male gamers saying hey, I'll do my best to respect you. I mean bare minimum but still not something I see often enough.
If you didn't know, in his discord server rules he also specifies to not be transphobic :D not something that everyone does unfortunately. but I'm really happy he does
This was really cool idea. I love the idea of fundamentally changing the game more than just restricting what pokemon you can do (both are good though)
This was a super fun run to watch! I'm curious though: did you ever consider getting Armaldo to use for its Battle Armor ability? It's not the best pokemon ever but not getting crit seems huge.
a romhack called FireRed:RNG Strikes Back takes this concept to the absolute extreme. not only do enemies always get crits, they also get the highest damage rolls, always lands moves even if theyre not 100% accurate, always activates secondary effects like flamethrower burn, and never gets affected with luck-based secondary effects like confusion or being fully paralyzed. likewise, the player always gets the lowest damage rills and never crits, cannot land a non-100% accurate move, never gets luck-based side effects and always hits itself in confusion. theres even more to this hack including never being able to rub away from an wild pokemon if you don't outspeed it, so I would love it if you tried it out or even complete a hardcore nuzlocke on this!
This one was interesting, you absolute MadLad HG. The "letter" from Mister Stone to Steven was pretty class, really enjoyed that one. Does anyone know the nicknaming convention outside of them being movies? Are they Critical acclaimed movies? That's the only connection I could come up with.
@@KainaX122 Definitely not Disney. Godfather is Paramount, Fight Club is New Line, Dark Knight is Warner Bros. Those are just the ones I remember off the top of my head
that's just the BEST pokémon challenge i've ever seen (and I watch A TON of them). So fun to watch, thank you for this! Looking foward to see more challenges like this one!
What a fun run! Super impressive that you succeeded on the first attempt with minimal deaths (although the loss of Dune - may she rest in peace - hit particularly hard u_u). Seeing you take on a challenge that plays with the reviled critical hit mechanic is fascinating - I'd love to see more runs in the future that alter the gameplay in similar ways! And thank you for bringing me many smiles with each of your videos.
interestingly i imagine at times having always crits makes it much more predictable--not necessarily easier, but more predictable for sure. in some cases, it probably does make it easier mentally, since sacrifice becomes unavoidable instead of the stress of managing disparate damage rolls in every fight to gauge chances. which, considering how long the renegade plat run is taking, must be a relief!
I had a similar idea for a challenge and made a hack of fire red that simulates the worst theoretical RNG for the player. There's a long list of things I changed, but to sum it all up: if there's a chance something goes bad for the player, it always will. If there's even a slight chance for something to go right for the AI, it always will. A few examples of this: crits, status effects (player gets max turn sleep, never unthaws, always fully paralyzed), accuracy, moves with secondary effects, even the damage rolls. I only got a little ways into testing it before I realized that maybe I don't want to subject myself to this.
I’ve been watching for about 14 months now and I think this is my favorite video of yours. It’s super hype that you got Drayano to help you out, Dray is a legend
I think gen 5, 6, and maybe 7 (I love Alola, but I understand how gruelingly long the games are) would be awesome for this challenge. Looking forward to more content as always!
Tentacruel is such a great Pokemon and can have some pretty diverse sets too. Even though it's not especially bulky on Physical, it gets access to Acid Armor, which raises the Defense stat twice, so you actually can use it as a physical wall as well.
Flygon: So i switch to 8Mile so she can do what the whismur line does best
Me: oh soundproof into sonicboom, cool
Flygon: Die.
Me: oh.
I really did think it was gonna be soundproof. he got me
I though that was the play as well but then voltorb blew up and I lost it
I thought the exact same thing.
Building up to that joke really had me rolling 🤣🤣
To be fair he’s not wrong. self destruct is 800 base power in this playthrough. Nothing is eating that 😭

I think it would have been a cooler mechanic if the crit chance would take an extra 1.5x damage.
Not necessarily. Increased damage runs would still allow set up moves to have a use. Crits bypass any defense buffs and offense drops of the user, making strategies more limited

There's a long list of things I changed, but to sum it all up: if there's a chance something goes bad for the player, it always will. If there's even a slight chance for something to go right for the AI, it always will.
A few examples of this: crits, status effects (player gets max turn sleep, never unthaws, always fully paralyzed), accuracy, moves with secondary effects, even the damage rolls.
I only got a little ways into testing it before I realized that maybe I don't want to subject myself to this.
Loved this challenge, one of my favourites so far!
That run was a crazy thing! HG you played really well, congrats! And thank you for the fun content!🤙
I’ve been watching for about 14 months now and I think this is my favorite video of yours. It’s super hype that you got Drayano to help you out, Dray is a legend
I loved when you switched your head in the icon in the bottom right to watson when you paralyzed lmao
I love the Nosepass letters. The extra lore here is amazing. I desperately need to see more emerald playthroughs just to learn the rest of this story
Wow, props on the creativity for thinking of a challenge like this. And props to Drayano60 and XLuma for their help on a really fun video ^-^
one of your best imo! you absolutely nailed this and it was unbelievably entertaining.
I think gen 5, 6, and maybe 7 (I love Alola, but I understand how gruelingly long the games are) would be awesome for this challenge. Looking forward to more content as always!
Wow amazing job, this was brutal! The definitive hardcore nuzlocke 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Love seeing challenges like this where all strats are on the table
These videos are the highlight of my weekend. Thanks for all your hard work.
WOW the attention to detail with your avatar changing to Wattson's at around 15:35 because of the paralysis - incredible stuff!!
It was a lot of fun watching my favorite Nuzlocker use my favorite Pokémon! Way to go, Moneyball!
this was a super fun watch!! really love a specific challenge run like this
This is such a good idea for a challenge! GG dude
Was wondering why they were named after movies. Critically acclaimed films. Nice. Wicked smarh
Awesome run man very creative and good strats even after losing some good encounters. Ggs!
Tentacruel is such a great Pokemon and can have some pretty diverse sets too. Even though it's not especially bulky on Physical, it gets access to Acid Armor, which raises the Defense stat twice, so you actually can use it as a physical wall as well.
Oh man, love this. Reminds me of the Worst Luck Possible run I used to read on the old Nuzlocke forums.
battlearmor armaldo: "I don't have such weaknesses"
and that was white horse, one of my favorites songs!
you're the best nuzlocker that ever did it. no lie.
I knew HurtLocker's purpose the moment you caught them, and yet, the outcome is still hilarious.
I have been hoping for this for a long time now. Glad to see it come to pass
Good video, I think a possible change to the challenge could be that a critical hit is a 15/16 chance and a normal hit would be the 1/16
