Volcarona; Movie monster is my favorite theme team and it makes a great Mothra. Yanmga (Megaguiras), Galvantula (Kumonga), Durant (Meganulon), Heracross (Megalon), and Armaldo (Gigan) are all solid reference options too, but the sheer power combined with it coming from a little fluffy baby requiring dedication to train brings Volcarona to the top of the list.
Bug types are my 2nd favourite typing after grass. Doesn't matter which gen I play I always use 1 bug pokemon. One of the reasons why gen 5 is in my top 3 is because of how much they improved the bug typing and introduced my favourite bug Volcarona
For clarification: Dupes clause means that you can't catch the same pokémon twice Species clause means you can not catch another pokemon of that species For example when you catch a magicarp, you can't catch another magicarp later on with dupes and species clause But when you find a gyarados you can catch it when you play with only dupes clause (because gyarados is not a magicarp) but you can not catch it when you play with species clause because gyarados evolves from magicarp
I always have loved Shedinja and Ninjask, thrilled to see them get some spotlight in this run! Impressive that the only two you lost were the Wurmple line 😎
You know when ever I’m bored I usually go to antler boy channel to search around and see your nuzlocke videos which are really good edited your skills and I’m excited when you post something new
33:36 : Well bef the spec/physical atk split in Gen 4 right after Hoenn oddly enough Ghost type moves were all physical for some reason, so you could have used Screech from the get go with Shedinja to save you the pain of chipping away at Steven's Aggron ! Neverthelss Great video: and even more impressive is to have the dedication to play with bugs in a generation in which they were absolutely awfull, aside Heracross and Scizor ! I tip my hat to you ! :)
I used ninjask in showdown and that is some broken stuff right there. The only reason that bug is the weakest type is because ice has good offense like froslass and weavile and the fact they have a weather condition and abilities that exploit it. Bugs are still super underrated though because the good ones don’t need that. Keep up the good work.
A real shame that when Fairy type was introduced they didn't Make Bug super effective vs it like Poison... Bug steel are decent, though quad week to Fire, there are some names such as Scizor and Durant also Excavalier...
Well done for beating this nuzlocke using one of the worst types in gen 3 yes there are some great bug types in gen 3 such as armaldo or heracross but also there are terrible bug types like volbeat and illumise Also great content as always :)
@@soulslicr5743 Yeah, but that's not very good for Bug type STAB since all Bug moves are physical, so at least in terms of being a Bug type, Volbeat is bad.
This was the run that confirmed @AntlerboyLIVE is the best nuzlocker /pokétuber for me. The strats I've learned from these videos has really helped speed up my runs when trying 2 complete my living dex Awesome job dude!!
This was the last video I got to watch before I had to head out to work (early might I add). I always look forward to watching (and rewatching) your videos regardless of my schedule!
You probably knew this but if you held off on evolving Surskit til lvl 25, it would have learned bubblebeam. Just got off work from pulling a double and your videos are one of he few things I look forward to. Thank you for being amazing and keeping the love of Poke'mon alive!
Bro that backup plan for Normal was tough. Excellent utilization of the team. The pivoting to get your setup sweeper in after protect/poison stall didn’t work. That was some grade A stuff Ant
I LOVE watching your channel. Maybe do an inverted type run like FlygonHG did? I'd also like to see a ghost only Alpha Sapphire run--but i'm not sure it's possible with so few encounters. Love your stuff!
Oh my god!!! Getting crazier and funnier than ever! Damn, really wish Dustox and Beatifly didn't die, imagine beating Pokemon Hoen Region with the Champion having Steel type with your bug type. Looking forward as always for upcoming videos! Hopefully deathless
Moonlight heals more in "Sunlight" because the move Sunny Day is actually called "Clear Sky" in Japanese. It's supposed to be parting the clouds, more so than bringing in sunlight directly. This of course also means it brings in moonlight indirectly as well.
That was awesome! I do believe the optimal choice on the Steven fight would have been to leave ilumise to be sacked, in order to get the free switch, but it does feels better to see the entire team come out alive from the E4. Congrats on the win, Shedinja is broken.
I would love a fire type platinum run. After original Sinnoh hand only two fire types, I think it would be cool to see a run in the updated deck! btw my favorite bugs are Orbeetle and Golisipod
The fact that this Bug-type team beat the Elite 4 without a single death is absolutely incredible considering how often "stronger" types take 50% or more casualties during the E4.
I don't know if you've done this run already, but I want to see how hard it is to do an electric only run in unova, cause I like magnezone and galvantula
Ooh neat, another vid! Honestly, I don’t like evasion strats either, but let’s call a spade a spade here. In a Nuzlocke, you’re the only one whose Pokémon aren’t immortal (unless you have a shiny), so survival at any cost. “You can’t hit me” ain’t as broken as “what’s this dying thing that that kid was talking about?” Anyway, captain storytime here prefers Scizor. I purified Stryke (teenage me: what if we just changed 1 letter?!) in one of the Colosseum games as a Scyther, sent her over to Emerald, evolved her via trade, and she then proceeded to do everything. Battle Frontier fights, 12 total contest ribbons across 2 gens, more postgame Gen 4 fights after another transfer, and basically protagonisting it up like crazy. By the time she was done conquering everything, Scizor was one of my favorite Pokémon of all time.
I've been trying to watch others to through pokemon..but they end up leveling up to like level 50 before even the first boss and still pretends like it's gon be a challenge🤦♀️ so I'm definitely gonna subscribe to you and go on a binge watching your content~
Nice job on this one! Love the strategies and will definitely help me out with my own nuzlockes. For the next one you should do a psychic only for black and white 2 if you haven’t already done that.
i love that back when i did my monotype buglocke, i literally had the exact same setup and strategy for flannery. My ninjask even got poisoned aswell when i swapped it in on the first slugma. That is hilarious. Thinking about it though this strategy might be 1 out of maybe 2 strategies that would work on flannery.
Doing an alpha sapphire run right now where I also found…a shiny zigzagoon 🤨🤨🤨 I named her Lucky and she has an adamant nature, never thought I would transfer a mon from 3ds to switch but here we are 🤷🏻♂️
I would love to see a branch type nuzlocke, caught a pokemon with the same type that you currently have and if it has a secondary type then that branch is open to you.
I would suggest a Chronolocke. Its something i came up with, maybe idk if someone already did it, But what it means is that you can only use the pokemon you catch in chronological order and if the any of the first six pokemon you catch faints you HAVE to use the 7th then 8th then 9th and so on. You can use repel to skip through areas you want to catch pokemon, then catch them later on. Although i dont know if you can do this in a setting Harcore nuxlocke since i played in with Harcore rules but only in Shift mode. Its just something i thought of and decided to share if it might piqued your interest.
bug types are so underated! In my opinions they're so good in early-middle games! In the late games its hard since there are more super effective moves cause of certain moves!
Holding Surkit from evolving a few levels will give him Bubblebeam, a decent water move. It can also learn Ice beam and it has Intimidade, if you peoperly EV teain it its pretty decent for the run. Finally, it can learn Water Sport, which will be useful in Flannery too. Illumise is also not bad for the run. It has Charm, Encore, Wish/Moonlught, and It can learn Thunderbolt and Water Pulse for coverage.
"your average boxed legendary" wooooow, what a sick burn. But so true 😂😂, i have never caught a legendary except for the sole reason of completing a pokedex
What's your favorite bug?
*-Misty has left the chat.*
Scolipede man what a boss
Pinsir from HG/SS!

Scizor is a chadbug
Volcarona; Movie monster is my favorite theme team and it makes a great Mothra.

13:33 you know, moonlight is just sunlight reflected. It actually makes sense that it heals more during sunny day.
Moonlight healing more in the sun makes sense it is just reflected sunlight.
We don't use logic around here
But consider, witchy moon rock=more health
Knowledge.
Well in Japanese, Sunny Day is called "Clear Sky" so the Pokémon is basically clears the sky to have more moonlight/sunlight
Fun fact in the Japanese version of the game sunny day is called clear skies
I feel that shiny pain. I’m doing a mono-water run in shining pearl and I got a shiny machop.
o7
Shiny clause??
@@grey8459 but then it’s not a mono-water run anymore
@@grey8459 machop is my favorite water type
@@XIII5
Just catch it and trade it to a different game who cares
Bug types are my 2nd favourite typing after grass. Doesn't matter which gen I play I always use 1 bug pokemon. One of the reasons why gen 5 is in my top 3 is because of how much they improved the bug typing and introduced my favourite bug Volcarona
Grass type is so great, my favourite type too
Gen 5 and 7 have the pinnacle of bug types.
Same. Bug type 2nd to dark for me. Also Scolipede is best bug
I like Leavanny and Scollipede
Paras fan eh? hahaha jk
That random first encounter shiny is how you know that you're the main character
For clarification:
Dupes clause means that you can't catch the same pokémon twice
Species clause means you can not catch another pokemon of that species
For example when you catch a magicarp, you can't catch another magicarp later on with dupes and species clause
But when you find a gyarados you can catch it when you play with only dupes clause (because gyarados is not a magicarp) but you can not catch it when you play with species clause because gyarados evolves from magicarp
Hardly makes a difference, really
silcoon vs cascoon is probably the only time this comes into effect.
@@zaclittlejohn2701 Yeah and I can only think of Eevee lines and Slowpoke outside of Hoenn within Gen 3. Because everyone uses Slowbro and Slowking
Always a good day when antler boy uploads
Yes!!!!!
Indeed brother
Love it
and tomorrow is monday
yessirr
I, like you, underestimated Ninjask. Then I used it as (more or less) my starter in Sword one time. He tore through Galar with want and slaughter
wanton slaughter*

Bug is a weak type because its weaknesses are the most common. 💀
I wish they'd buff Ninjask's stats and give it a priority move like Extremespeed
Well done for beating this nuzlocke using one of the worst types in gen 3 yes there are some great bug types in gen 3 such as armaldo or heracross but also there are terrible bug types like volbeat and illumise
Also great content as always :)
Volbeat and illumise are amazing in game, just highly technical with encore and baton pass strats
Actually I've just realized Volbeat doesn't get baton pass by level up, yeah it's garbage, illumise is still decent
but Volbeat get Signal Beam, which js quite a strong bug type move. And there's very limited strong bug type move in the game too
Volbeat is one of the 3 pokemon that get access to tail glow tho...
@@soulslicr5743 Yeah, but that's not very good for Bug type STAB since all Bug moves are physical, so at least in terms of being a Bug type, Volbeat is bad.

Another awesome nuzlocke! The FU's really caught me off guard and made me laugh so hard, love the humor!
Y'know, chuggaaconroy has been doing that quite a bit in his Pokémon LPs.
Bruh am addicted to these vids man,there so fun to watch
I would love to see another randomizer nuzlock
Antlerboy never fails with jokes and commentary. You are hilarious mate.
I wanna a Grass/Psychic USUM nuzlocke.
5:05 that caught me off guard i’m laughing💀💀💀😂
I like the naming choice this time. Love Mario games and their enemies 😄
Heartgold with Ground types would be a nice thing to see
In Japanese, Sunny Day is called Clear Skies. This is why Moonlight heals more.

Love your videos!! You should do more bug type runs, its my personal favorite type!!
Would love to see either a Poison type run through an alola game, or a run through any game using only non-evolving pokemon
How's it going Antlerboy? Its first time I have ever seen surskit in hoenn original games...man Hoenn is rough for poor bugs
Going quite well thank you :) Enjoying the summer weather!
Always love watching ur nuzlocks
I don't know if you've done this run already, but I want to see how hard it is to do an electric only run in unova, cause I like magnezone and galvantula

Aside from a singular unnecessary death, this was pretty optimal. Very cool.
Dude great video u should totally do an ice type nuzlock
Shedinja with swords dance and Fury cutter *Chef's kiss* perfect

You should do an Eternal X/Wilting Y run. Even if it isn’t a nuzlocke they’re a ton of fun with super cool encounters all throughout the game.
