Just a fun fact for future challenges: Morty's gengar cannot touch normal types. It's moves are: shadow ball, which normal types are immune to, sucker punch which has 5pp and only works if you attack first, so, it can be stalled out, mean look, which just stops you from switching, and hypnosis, that just puts you to sleep.
@@BearWith_You and since pokemon Ai prioritizing the current Pokemon as opposed to the rest of the team you're basically garenteed to the win as long as you status and pp stall.
You can actually do Jasmine and Pryce out of order, which is why their levels are so close. It's just a question of when you bother to take care of the Team Rocket base in Mahogany. Also, Pokegear trainers don't call about finding items until after you beat the 7th gym in HGSS. Had you not gone through the Pokeathlon for the evolutionary stones and were adamant about evolving Flareon before the ice gym, you would've been waiting forever.
Actually not true they can call you for items way before the seventh badge. A good example is in marrilands heart gold wedlocke years ago when he got a leaf stone via call and he had nowhere near 7 badges at the time
What I appreciate is the depth about moves and starts you go into. Like I’m a VERY casual Pokémon player so having an explanation for some things (like nature, items, etc) rather than it being treated like common knowledge is soooo helpful
10:55 You actually can switch the order of the gyms between Jasmine and Pryce. You just need to do the Team Rocket Hideout stuff first to get to Pryce, but you can definitely go and challange him with 5 badges
I really love this series and you absolutely deserve more viewers! P.S. You forgot to highlight the F on the elite four title cards, literally unwatchable
Right, TH-cam became absolutely littered with Poke challenges and these feel so fresh. Plus I love trying to guess/figure out the Pokémon with each letter.
Do Platinum for G. You won’t get to keep your starter, but you have a lot of really good encounters- Garchomp Gyarados Gliscor Gardevoir or Gallade Glailie Glaceon Golduck Gastrodon If you use the randomizer for trade evolutions you can get Golem and Gengar If you allow legendaries you can even get Girantina
He'll probably ban Garchomp and maybe even Gyarados considering how op they are and how many options he has (seriously, Garchomp can easily sweep the entire elite 4 plus champion and you get gible after like badge 3)
I see this a lot... You can go in the seventh gym before going in the sixth, you just go straight to the lake and then return to help Lance, after finishing with the hideout you can go in the gym
i noticed everyone of these hardcore nuzlocke channels think that they cant fight pryce before jasmine... probably just because they look on bulbapedia and that's the order they show. I do like that in this video he shows he cant progress even tho he's in the town with pryces gym already, LOL
Your layout looks very clean and your editing is high quality, I really enjoyed this video and I'm defininetely going to sub to your channel! Keep it up!
After Morty you can actually fight Chuck, Jasmine, and Pryce in any order you want. It's literally the only part of Johto where you can battle gyms out of order.
I just realized the X letterlocke is going to be pure pain, there are only 3 pokemon that have names that start with a X and one is a legendary and the other is a ultra beast
"Hardcore Nuzlocke rules: Which means I'm not allowed to have fun." I was drinking during that! xD Oh hey they updated the wiki for Bugsy after this for the correct order. Loving your nicknames in this series.
Seconds in, and I was convinced, you were funny enough to sub to... Was too tired but wanted to watch to the end... Fell asleep... In short, subbing anyway; I’m convinced.
Some people: Flareon is the worst of eevee’s evolutions Fiyaaaaah: Hold my sitrus berry All the eevee’s are good in their own way, we may have a best but that doesn’t mean there’s a worse and this nuzlocke proves Flareon can be good if used correctly. Although game freak please give flareon a bigger moveset ;-;
@@miscellaneoof Alternatively, solo Ultra Sun with Natu/Xatu till you defeat Necrozma, then Ultra Warp Ride for Xerneas and Xurkitree. Only problem is that Natu can only be obtained right before Olivia's grand trial, but it does get you an extra encounter.
Still, a Xatu-only run in Ultra Sun/Moon is going to be really hard, and even after that he can’t just throw Pokémon away against Ultra Necrozma with Toxic stall strats because he only has two Pokémon, so he better hope that when he gets to Ultra Necrozma he can kill Ultra Necrozma in one hit. Unless FEAR strats are possible with a Xatu, Xerneas, and Xurkitree. Perhaps an X run in Sword/Shield? While it is effectively the X run in Pokémon X unless he unlocks the Ultra Beasts before catching Xerneas, it’s probably the only way to play an X challenge that is not just one Pokémon until midgame or endgame.
@@iantaakalla8180 This is extremely luck-based, but one could maybe try Confuse Ray, which Natu gets at 23, and pray that Necrozma hits itself? Looking through Xatu's Gen 7 moves, I considered Foul Play, but the tutor for that is post-game. Either way, an X run in US is probably not a good idea. Edit: IF you can get Xerneas before fighting Ultra Necrozma, you could theoretically win. I ran some calcs, and with a +SpA nature, max SpA EVs (achieved through vitamins), and an Expert Belt, a Lv60 Xerneas has a 62.5% chance to OHKO a +1SpD, neutral nature, Lv60 Ultra Necrozma with Dazzling Gleam (12.5% if nature is neutral). It is also guaranteed to survive one Smart Strike. While some soft resetting might be in order to get an ideal Xerneas, it can probably be excused for the sake of the run (again, assuming you can even get Xerneas before the fight).
Anyway, love these vids so much, it's such a creative idea, and super entertaining. I'm always super shocked you have so few subs, you definitely deserve way more (especially considering the quality of the vids). Super excited for G 👀👀👀
F is for Flareons's who do stuff together, U is for Umbreon and meeee, N is for no pokemon remaining ........- Whited out, You ran to a pokemon center-
How dare you disrespect my boy furret! I love furret, EVERYONE loves furret! He is one of the greatest pokemon memes of all time, and hes also half of my favorite troll doubles team of all time, with ambipom both having pickup and fling using a kings rock and razor fang you can double flinch the opponents team endlessly until you either run out of pp or they (more likely) rage quit! Furret isnt a bad pokemon, hes just a funny boy! You respect our fabulous funny boy!
Tbh except for the Pidgey line, and Primeape, and obviously Pikachu, I can't think of any P-lettered Pokémon in gen 1. Anyone's free to correct me, I might be forgetting some Pokémon. Edit: Just remembered about the Paras line, Ponyta, Pinsir, Persian, the Poliwag line, Porygon, and Psyduck. I wasn't stupid, I *am* stupid.
the aero calc was slightly off. the fastest aero can be at 48 is 158 with a positive nature. thankfully it didn't matter, but may in the future, so please be careful
I'm late, but I just wanted to say that when you sacked Furret to get a safe switch to Flaffy vs Claire, you should've sacked FarFetch'd. That thing has a BST (base stat total) under 400, with a lower speed than Furret, meaning you held onto a crucially useless pokemon going into the Elite Four instead of just a slightly useless pokemon. Further proven by your FarFetch'd doing exactly nothing in the entire run.
These were the best 30 minutes of my life, everything was very emotional,also felt the tension it almost made me cry with happiness in the end, i'm glad I saw this video.
Press F to pay respects
F
I wrote in comment on e nizlocke that name a Pokemon f to pay respect for the fallen comrades and the one will fall
F
Ffffff

The second hit against Lance's Charizard wasnt a range, it was a guaranteed OHKO as Charizard knocked Feraligatr into Torrent HP
You are absolutely correct, can’t believe I missed that!
Oh yeahh

I like to think most starter Pokemon have a STAB ability for that reason, so whenever kids are on the verge of loosing their starter will get stronger because of "the power of friendship!!"
do you mean:flance'ces fcharizard
some random clefairy using metronome: Psycho boost and aeroblast
me using metronome: growl and leer
At least its not self destruct
gives me nightmares of having to use metronome in a nuzlocke because i forgot to heal the pp in the other moves, and my Togetic used self destruct 🥲
My Munchlax in X used Oblivion Wing first time
I once got heal pulse and memento
@@TheSpecialPsycho my event Munchlax in SM got Fusion Bolt on its first Metronome
My favorite part was when Fowl Ball sat in its pokeball and did literally nothing.
Isn't that what most Farfetch'd do in gen 3 when you trade for them, other than be the fly/cut HM slave?
I love how Whitney's Clefairy got two legendary signature moves, and when I use metronome, I get tackle on a ghost type

It's moves are: shadow ball, which normal types are immune to, sucker punch which has 5pp and only works if you attack first, so, it can be stalled out, mean look, which just stops you from switching, and hypnosis, that just puts you to sleep.
Sucker Punch is priority. It always goes first. It works if the enemy attacks instead of status move
@@BearWith_You and since pokemon Ai prioritizing the current Pokemon as opposed to the rest of the team you're basically garenteed to the win as long as you status and pp stall.

@@Venemofthe888 I'll be honest, Marriland is a name I have not heard in YEARS
That wedlocke is goated
Also, in general it’s good to try Pryce’s gym first because he’s an Ice type gym leader.
What I appreciate is the depth about moves and starts you go into. Like I’m a VERY casual Pokémon player so having an explanation for some things (like nature, items, etc) rather than it being treated like common knowledge is soooo helpful
Every time people try to find an Entei they just don't but when you are running with a condition like a mono type nuzlocke you get it
I ran into it three times. Big “Not Now Entei” Energy
@@Rylockes I am trying to find an Entei for 2 weeks now no luck

This is the best nuzlocke concept on TH-cam, no doubt about it. Always creative and intense, can't wait for G (at least you get a gyarados!)
Right, TH-cam became absolutely littered with Poke challenges and these feel so fresh. Plus I love trying to guess/figure out the Pokémon with each letter.
Or Garchomp or Goodra
I really think the monotypes got really stale. There’s hardly nuclockes to find that aren’t monotypes now
Well, unless he plays Gen V
and more importantly girafarig
LOVE this series! Making great utility of pokemon you otherwise wouldn't see. Seeing Flareon and Forretress excel is awesome to see!
I love the fact that you added the detail of the hp bars at the side, the layout of your videos is gorgeous 👌👌👌
Should have used Gardevoir, Lopunny, and Vaporeon. The fanbase seems to want to “F” those a lot.
Do Platinum for G. You won’t get to keep your starter, but you have a lot of really good encounters-
Garchomp
Gyarados
Gliscor
Gardevoir or Gallade
Glailie
Glaceon
Golduck
Gastrodon
If you use the randomizer for trade evolutions you can get Golem and Gengar
If you allow legendaries you can even get Girantina
Did you forget that Grotle starts with G, and is the evolved form of Turtwig?
@@northstarpokeshipper2148 yes I did! Good point.
My mind always goes to final evolutions, I forget about the middle
Graveler works as well... that's the English name, right?
Also, from the top of my head, goldeen, but welp lmao
@@honkhonk3192 golbat too.
He'll probably ban Garchomp and maybe even Gyarados considering how op they are and how many options he has (seriously, Garchomp can easily sweep the entire elite 4 plus champion and you get gible after like badge 3)
I initially thought that this Nuzlocke was going to only use F-tier Pokemon according to a tier list
I see this a lot... You can go in the seventh gym before going in the sixth, you just go straight to the lake and then return to help Lance, after finishing with the hideout you can go in the gym

The fact that the elderly pun went over my head for over a decade LMAO, also binge watching these vids is very enjoyable
You _can_ battle Pryce before Jasmine, you just have to do the Rocket base first. Chuck, Pryce, and Jasmine can be fought in any order.
You channel is the best, I will tell it to all my friends and to The people that are not my friends
wow that bug bite play against Clair's Kingdra to eat the sitrus berry was smart af
I like the face change or whatever at 16:01. It's a better style than the other sprites
Insta sub - Lovely voiceover and funny concept! :)
Your layout looks very clean and your editing is high quality, I really enjoyed this video and I'm defininetely going to sub to your channel! Keep it up!
Can’t wait for “Completing a Hardcore Nuzlocke Only Using Pokémon Beginning with X”.
"the whole gang is coming with." - sad furret
“Sentert and furret are terrible pokemon”
Tell that to my furret in my nuzlocke of heart gold that critical hits a lot
I really like the way you give a little breakdown of your team right before the E4
During Morty’s fight you should’ve said, “Florida knocks out Gastly with a Bite because after all, Florida is scarier than any spooky ghost” 🤪🤣
That Clefairy drawing 2 Legendary signature moves in a row, now that’s some luck right there-
After Morty you can actually fight Chuck, Jasmine, and Pryce in any order you want. It's literally the only part of Johto where you can battle gyms out of order.
Really solid team here, you could say it was Fantastic.
Dude I’m loving these
you def underestimated the nightmare that is whitney's miltank on that first run
I just realized the X letterlocke is going to be pure pain, there are only 3 pokemon that have names that start with a X and one is a legendary and the other is a ultra beast
"Hardcore Nuzlocke rules: Which means I'm not allowed to have fun."

What a good video! Thank you for the content!
i like how flareon was practically beneficial for this run and flareon is my favorite eeveelution and best buddy in pokemon go
Farfetch’d wins by doing absolutely nothing.
"I accidentally overleveled Florida" is my new favorite phrase.
I always beat pryce before chuck and jasmine. Those three gyms are interchangeable in order
Aye up mate really enojying these challenges; the only thing is I wish you would put more emotion into the story! Well done though keep up the fights!
I loved pokeathlon as a kid. Also I think you can challenge pryce before Jasmine cause you only need to go north of mahogany town
I was hoping you would use Ice Beam Furret for the Dragonite, but I guess not
Good thing you sacked it and saved Farfetch'd huh
Weirdly, I don't consider G/S/HG/SS runs complete until Red is defeated.
Always good to see more hardcore nuzlocke TH-camrs
you can do mahogany's gym first, you just need to do the lake of rage thingy and then the team rocket hq thingy first, no?
Trade over the mewoth when you do a m or p run
Fleet Fox! I feel like not a lot of people would get that reference but I do. And I really like that band!
2:59 Lmao. "Ah, sweet memories."
This makes me happy
Some people: Flareon is the worst of eevee’s evolutions
Fiyaaaaah: Hold my sitrus berry
All the eevee’s are good in their own way, we may have a best but that doesn’t mean there’s a worse and this nuzlocke proves Flareon can be good if used correctly. Although game freak please give flareon a bigger moveset ;-;

Hey! Don’t you dare… *checks notes* Oh yeah you’re right he was worthless
@@Rylockes you can battle pryce before jasmine
And here I thought it was gonna be a team of only F-tier Pokemon, not literal letter F Pokemon.
i wonder if he is really gonna do the entire alphabet, if so cant way for x cause its like impossible
Yeah I know only 2 pokemon with the name starting from x
What’s the matter? Don’t like soloing the first 7 gyms of Pokemon x with Xatu?

It’s funny how you actually needed to rely on a Focus Blast CRITICAL HIT WITH FURRET to get past Whitney. It’s rather sad.
I’ll be intrigued to see how he handles the lack of a “G” starter.

Ngl, when you sacked the Flareon I yelled out loud "Why didn't you just sack the shitty bird (Farfetch'd)?!" Smh, I wanted Flareon to live. Q.Q
Vileplume and Genger don't make sense on Karen's team as she is a dark type specialist.
oh, it's like terraria but without E, these videos involving letters in rulesets is odd but it's kinda fun
Florida Man and Fleecewood Mac
