@Nathan Waterser not using any legendaries is an optional nuzlocke rule. All of these rules are optional because this is a self-imposed ruleset of a children's game. There is no shame in using powerful mons if you want to use them or think they are cool or fun. Yes, it decreases the game's challenge level, but some people who try nuzlockes don't really care about the challenge and just want to play the game in a different way.
@Nathan Waterser and there is no cheating in a nuzlocke, all of these rules are self-imposed. It applies here more than ever because that's exactly why you nuzlocke, it's playing the game however you want
@Nathan Waterser as crazy as it sounds, nuzlockes don't have to make the game harder. I enjoy nuzlockes not for the difficulty, but because they force me to use pokemon I don't normally use due to the restrictions. It has helped me become a much better competitive player and a more well-rounded pokemon player as a whole. If you want nuzlockes for the challenge, then do that, and be all the better for it. Do use legendaries, don't use legendaries, whatever. But don't get angry at people for doing what they want to do because you think it's cheating. I'm done arguing about this, I hope you can understand
Damn, that humbling intro where he wanted to say “best nuzlocker in the world” but what happened with Kaizo, he’s gotta earn that back again. I do hope he plays it again and wins
He definitely hasn't. He's spoken many times about how much he just flat out enjoys the game, how if he fails the run he'll have no problem just immediately resetting the game and starting over. Even some of his recent streams have been looking at things for his next runs.

He lost his title to gian 97 head to head a few days ago on stream and gian is the better nuzlocke player at this point I do think pc can get the title back because he practices n works harder than gian and frankly everyone else for that matter but gian is the most talented nuzlocker i ever seen,
@@nateschendel4585 doesn't Jan have more nuzlockes under his belt? I would say that the guy with more nuzlockes under his belt (which also includes the hardest rom hacks, for example the guy beat Radical Red Nuzlocke in 2 attempts like what) is better.
The reason exp share isn't just utility is that he has to plan out his exp gain from required trainer battles to not overlevel the next gym. Using the exp share allows him to use his pokemon for required trainer battles at a higher level since they effectively need to get more exp to level up due to some being taken away by the exp share.
so, Iron Ball is actually at least B tier item if you know your facing a hard Trick Room team. because it divided your speed by 2. So you can actually outslow stuff under Trick Room Edits: you can also use it for multiple game instead of the worst Room Service that is 1 battle only (and Room Service is -1 speed while Iron Ball is -2 speed)
@@dweebpatrol if you are playing a rom hack, most psychic expert are gonna have a hard trick room team (like Sabrina in radical Red). So having the possibility to divise your speed by 2 can be game changing if you cannot prevent the Trick Room setup
11:55 actually, Flame Orb and Toxic Orb has some pretty good uses, especially in some interactions with Pokemon's abilities like Guts on Heracross. Guts boosts its Attack whenever the user inflicts a Special Condition, burn won't cut your Atk stat in this way. Toxic Orb could make Poison Heal users, a Mega Leftovers
The thing is that you can technically so this anyways, by pre poisoning them in. a fight versus something weak that inflicts the status. Granted that would take a long time and be extremely frustrating, but it’s there. And you would almost never want to use them as the held item in battle. Because Guts + Facade is good, but Guts + Facade + Choice Band is better
@@user-pp6pr5fg8w oh wow, didn't realize that. I just watch the youtube vids. Dont have time for streams unfortunately. Maybe reborn will be fully finished by the time he gets back and beats it.
So with the Terrain items, I think Terrain Extender is strictly a bit better than Damp Rock since it works with every terrain type, and terrains are pretty nice if you make a team around them, so high B-tier. Terrain Seeds are consumable and honestly really niche in a lot of scenarios, only being absolutely insane on maybe Unburden mons since they boost one of the defense stats, so I think that probably makes it either low B or high C. I'd still say Terrain Seeds are probably the best way to proc your own Unburden, except for Gen 5 Gems
Iron ball can actually be useful in some scenarios as it can make somewhat fast Pokemon really slow: I used it to set up revenge kills with Machoke in Gen4 against the Steel gym leader, it was a really fun strat :)
@@spegasparce1389 oh, ure right lol bad example then 😅 Im sure theres other scenarios though where it could be useful? Slow teleport for example? Smth like that :)

Yeah he was big wrong about Eject Button. That shit is cracked. It's a free switch because you know what your opponent is going to do, so you switch in on something with E Button that eats, and then a free switch to something that otherwise would be a risky switch in. Can make an entire fight's momentum shift in your favor rapidly.
Sceptile with Petaya Berry could potentially be really good on Sceptile in nuzlockes. Substitute down to 25% to get to Overgrow or Unburden, get your special attack raised, Giga Drain let's you restore HP, repeat (except without another betty activation).
Shell bell is great for fights that don't really matter. You'll be getting a bit hp back all the time, so you can go on for longer without visiting a pokémon center. On top of that it isn't a consumeable, so no need for farming and giving the pokémon a new one. In a difficult fight a berry can heal more, but during the exploration of the map you'll heal tons over time.
Hey PC, I have an idea for a challenge that may prove interesting and/or fun. Dream Team Challenge. Pick 6 of your favorite pokemon or a theme etc, transfer them to a game or game shark them in at level 5 and complete the game with only those 6 pokemon. Rules: - No catching pokemon, you can only use the 6 you start with and their evolutions. No transfers, trades, gifts etc - If a Pokemon faints, its boxed or released and removed from the team. - I know you dont like to over level in your challenges. So no over leveling the next gym. -No items in battle. (Held items okay) -Nicknaming of course. Optional rules: -Pokemon chosen must be under a certain base stat when fully evolved. (For instance no pokemon over 500 base stat total) to prevent pseudo sweep which wouldn't be fun. -Added type restrictions to keep strong typing off the team such as dragon or steel. Feel free to add any other rulings, just figured this would be a fun run to try out. Planning an entire game around 6 pokemon instead of growing a team over time.
I wrote in an indeedee in a story having an iron ball as their held item, not for its intended purpose, but instead to swing it around like a skip-it of doom with psychic energy
Eviolite Magneton saved my blind nuzlocke run of Ultra Moon at the Ultra Necrozma fight. Not that I'm surprised, but happy to see it gets its proper recognition in S tier.
safety goggles can be good at certain parts of the game if your ruleset allows shedinja, even though i agree that people should never allow shedinja in nuzlockes anyway
If you play the variation of Nuzlockes where you can only get EXP from trainers and you're not allowed to grind wild Pokémon at all, the Lucky Egg is C tier at least since there's a finite amount of EXP in the game to get.
big root is good on Torterra since leech seed is basically better than mega drain due to Torterra's low special attack in comparison to its phys, where something like earthquake or strength would be far better but you still want it to have some HP regen.
Okay this isn't related but I'm like 90% sure that background music is "Lofi for Ghosts" here on TH-cam. I love that video so much, it was my saving grace freshman year
In case you ever feel stupid, I _sold_ the Leftovers in my first XY playthrough because I just thought it was some litter. I went something like “Stupid litterbugs couldn’t be bothered to find a trash can. How do I throw it out?” I hadn’t heard of the phrase “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.”
i know this is old, but kings rock is absolutely S tier. Flinching odds on every move is completely game breaking, specially with multi hit moves. B is for niche items, Kings rock is an item that if it procs, wins you the game on the spot 90% of the times. Probably the best item besides eviolite
Re Eject Button Single Use, and for Nuzlocke purposes, somewhat awkward, as you need to be guaranteeing you outspeed the opponent if you want some damage (and can't OHKO them on the free switch). Otherwise what happens is they go first, you tank the hit, and are forced into switching into another mon, which gives you a 'free switch' but you've sacrificed damage and hp on one mon to do so, so it's sort of a break-even as now that pokemon is without an item, and damaged. Think of it in the way that if you could just pivot through immunities, there's very little incentive to use the Eject button. Useful in competitive though for obvious reasons on particular sets, but I don't think its of any significance in Nuzlockes.
As a competitive Pokémon player (singles, not vgc) seeing heavy duty boots put so low hurts me, I know that it is useless in nuzlockes, but entry hazards are busted competitively.
I would definitely put focus band a tier lower. At least in a Nuzlocke. Its a 10% chance to activate ONCE. Because if it doesnt, that mon is dead. Brightpowder is 10% every turn. I think King's Rock may actually be slightly higher than brightpowder, same tier though, due to its synergy with skill link. Ive definitely had a lot of use out of skill link + king's rock Cincinno. Also maybe Cell Battery top of C. Its the same as Absord Bulb, sure, but in Gen 5 you get access to it right before the 4th gym, which is Electric, and you dont really have very many good item options at that point. Its the only one of those types of items I've actually used, and used more than once at that. I feel like Red Card should be higher. It can be used to status a mon that you normally wouldn't even be able to come in on a shut them down completely or stop a run ending sweep, especially if paired with Sturdy. Very underrated item. Id put it on the same level as Air Balloon for sure.
Red card is good for a prankster like Sable, you will-o-wisp, get hit, red card, then will-o-wisp the next mon, doubling your prankster/will-o-wisp value.
It's nice that gen 9 makes getting all these items way easier. I hope they make consumeable hold items not cosumed after battle and easier to get in the future make going through the game more interesting
It's kinda broken on something with Magic Guard and on a Pokemon that can pull off Sheer Force abuse. They get all the benefits with none of the drawbacks.
Exp share is partially utility though. Like the split exp on gym leaders is a niche rule, and it really makes or breaks this item into which category it fits into. If you play with set levels, no overleveling allowed during battles, you have to calc that into your team comp, if you do allow it, it goes from utility to strategy. But again, that's hardly a generally accepted rule so I get why some would just call it utility. I swap out my mon and force it to stay out of the battle even if it overlevels in the battle, it makes elite four really challenging.

Feel free to add any other rulings, just figured this would be a fun run to try out. Planning an entire game around 6 pokemon instead of growing a team over time.
"Safety goggles is good in competitive."
Me: What the hell are you tal-
*remembering wolfey won the national championship with safety goggles*
25:00 that item can make Toxtricity terrifying
I wrote in an indeedee in a story having an iron ball as their held item, not for its intended purpose, but instead to swing it around like a skip-it of doom with psychic energy
Eviolite Magneton saved my blind nuzlocke run of Ultra Moon at the Ultra Necrozma fight. Not that I'm surprised, but happy to see it gets its proper recognition in S tier.
These intros are the best no stupid dub step just. good honest content
toxic orb + poison heal + leech seed breloom is actually viable in a lot of romhacks.
safety goggles can be good at certain parts of the game if your ruleset allows shedinja, even though i agree that people should never allow shedinja in nuzlockes anyway
If you play the variation of Nuzlockes where you can only get EXP from trainers and you're not allowed to grind wild Pokémon at all, the Lucky Egg is C tier at least since there's a finite amount of EXP in the game to get.
VS Seeker and phone calls for rematches is a thing...
@@AlldaylongRock not in every game
Fun fact Deep Sea Tooth Clamperl using shell smash reached 800 atk (to make a comparison Zacian Crowned only has 438 atk unboosted)
Leppa berry F tier
*Laughs in Nurse, EK MVP*
“You don’t really play against entry hazards in nuzlocks” Glacia would beg to differ
Lol at Jan putting Leppa in F tier. Literally what won him Emerald Kaizo
22:03 Hello, man from the future here, shell bell is finally good in Pokemon Scarlet/Violet raids.
AT 78 gunna be the best one yet
big root is good on Torterra since leech seed is basically better than mega drain due to Torterra's low special attack in comparison to its phys, where something like earthquake or strength would be far better but you still want it to have some HP regen.
Did something happen? He looks like he pulled an all nighter something and was only able to sleep for 30 minutes
Expert belt S tier. 1.3 is insane
1.2
50 sec. Into the video the music kicking in is so fire. 🔥 I know I'm high but I just had to give credit where credits due.
Okay this isn't related but I'm like 90% sure that background music is "Lofi for Ghosts" here on TH-cam. I love that video so much, it was my saving grace freshman year
you underrated scope lens for later gens imo. It guarantees crits in combination with a crit-boosting move and max happiness.
In case you ever feel stupid, I _sold_ the Leftovers in my first XY playthrough because I just thought it was some litter. I went something like “Stupid litterbugs couldn’t be bothered to find a trash can. How do I throw it out?”
I hadn’t heard of the phrase “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.”
i know this is old, but kings rock is absolutely S tier. Flinching odds on every move is completely game breaking, specially with multi hit moves. B is for niche items, Kings rock is an item that if it procs, wins you the game on the spot 90% of the times. Probably the best item besides eviolite
Don’t hurt the sloth
This comment is good for the TH-cam algorithm
Don't hurt the sloth
I think he got the Destiny knot wrong since it's infatuates the foe if the holder gets infatuated which is good.. he thought it was the other way
Man, disrespecting that leopard berry after everything it’s done for him and Slowbro
Leppa Berries are a pretty bad held item, but they're a great item to have because they're easier to get than Ethers or Elixirs.
Re Eject Button
Single Use, and for Nuzlocke purposes, somewhat awkward, as you need to be guaranteeing you outspeed the opponent if you want some damage (and can't OHKO them on the free switch).
Otherwise what happens is they go first, you tank the hit, and are forced into switching into another mon, which gives you a 'free switch' but you've sacrificed damage and hp on one mon to do so, so it's sort of a break-even as now that pokemon is without an item, and damaged.
Think of it in the way that if you could just pivot through immunities, there's very little incentive to use the Eject button.
Useful in competitive though for obvious reasons on particular sets, but I don't think its of any significance in Nuzlockes.
I think toxic orb specifically should be F. Because why get toxic poisoned when a weedle can regular poison you.
poison heal? Turns the ability from leftovers to getting healed more and more every turn
@@Fail_Inc Poison Heal heals 12.5% regardless of what type of poison it is
@@Fail_Inc reason for this is cause it matters when you consider Guts
Eviolite: pre gym 3 in all gen 5 games
My favourite TH-camr who has the best intros is back at it again keep up the great work legend
I'm so biased towards choice specs
I have a max IV Chandelure and its my sweet monster :)
Exp Share
Amulet Coin
Every held item that boosts any type
In scralet and violet single use items are recovered after a battle aka if you consumed eject button you will get it back after the battle
Yeah that was one of the best changes they made, would have probably impacted this tier listq
BIG ROOT : is just op when paired with leech seed or giga drain
MIRACLE seed doesnt boost health regained from leechseed but big root does
Metronome broken with dyna/gmax if u spam the same stab move
Have you ever heard of Pokémon XG it’s an XD rom hack. I’d love to see Jan play it bc of the challenge of constant double battles
15:35 leppa berry is so niche
Fast forward to him beating emerald kaizo, leppa berry: you said?
It was niche...
Do a "nuzlocke youtuber to react to" tier list
i didn't know about the deep sea tooth and scale buffing clampearl. that's niche but nifty.
PchalDaily was a blessing. This too!
After all this time, I never knew that the exp share was a neuro headpiece. I thought it was a fancy looking crown for most of my life.
As a competitive Pokémon player (singles, not vgc) seeing heavy duty boots put so low hurts me, I know that it is useless in nuzlockes, but entry hazards are busted competitively.
The “pulling” of the items after Jan puts them in the tier as they are spoken about makes me chuckle.
I would definitely put focus band a tier lower. At least in a Nuzlocke. Its a 10% chance to activate ONCE. Because if it doesnt, that mon is dead. Brightpowder is 10% every turn. I think King's Rock may actually be slightly higher than brightpowder, same tier though, due to its synergy with skill link. Ive definitely had a lot of use out of skill link + king's rock Cincinno. Also maybe Cell Battery top of C. Its the same as Absord Bulb, sure, but in Gen 5 you get access to it right before the 4th gym, which is Electric, and you dont really have very many good item options at that point. Its the only one of those types of items I've actually used, and used more than once at that. I feel like Red Card should be higher. It can be used to status a mon that you normally wouldn't even be able to come in on a shut them down completely or stop a run ending sweep, especially if paired with Sturdy. Very underrated item. Id put it on the same level as Air Balloon for sure.
"Emerald but I made all of my Pokemon AWFUL" this video idea is super cool and i officially request more
I've been playing too much pokemon showdown, and forgot that a lot of items have other uses not just for battling
Red card is good for a prankster like Sable, you will-o-wisp, get hit, red card, then will-o-wisp the next mon, doubling your prankster/will-o-wisp value.
It's nice that gen 9 makes getting all these items way easier. I hope they make consumeable hold items not cosumed after battle and easier to get in the future make going through the game more interesting
The only thing I'd change is I'd pure Life Orb at the very bottom of A tier. Brilliant item with a significant drawback, but one of the best easily.
It's kinda broken on something with Magic Guard and on a Pokemon that can pull off Sheer Force abuse. They get all the benefits with none of the drawbacks.
Another question mark about lucky punch is it doesn't work as a held item for Blissey. ONLY Chansey.
Exp share is partially utility though. Like the split exp on gym leaders is a niche rule, and it really makes or breaks this item into which category it fits into.
If you play with set levels, no overleveling allowed during battles, you have to calc that into your team comp, if you do allow it, it goes from utility to strategy. But again, that's hardly a generally accepted rule so I get why some would just call it utility.
I swap out my mon and force it to stay out of the battle even if it overlevels in the battle, it makes elite four really challenging.
