We've done some hard Pokemon challenges in the past, but usually they were a solo Pokemon challenge run. What if we still did a really difficult challenge... but with a full team using hardcore nuzlocke rules, and with only one type? Today we find out: can I beat a Pokemon Emerald Hardcore Nuzlocke with only Grass types? No items and no overleveling!

Monotype Hardcore Nuzlocke Ruleset:
(1) If a Pokémon faints, it must be permanently boxed or released.
(2) Only the first type-specific Pokémon encountered in each Route/Area can be caught.
(3) No Legendaries/Mythicals, duplicates, or same-evolution-line Pokémon can be caught or used. If a duplicate is encountered, the next unique type-specific Pokémon encounter can be caught.
(4) Additional Pokémon may be caught for the purpose of HM use, but these may not be used in battle at any time during the run.
(5) No Items can be used in battle (Held Items are allowed).
(6) Party Pokémon levels are limited to the highest level Pokémon of the next Gym Leader or Elite 4 Member. So long as your Pokémon are at or below the level cap when the Gym Leader/Elite 4 Member battle starts, they can level up mid-battle.
(7) "Set" Battle Mode must be used at all times.
(8) No connecting with other games for the purposes of importing Pokémon, Items, etc.

Hello Silph, this popped into my Head this morning, and instead of letting it fester, i decided to immideatly solve it: What is your Nuzlocke Count like, regarding Gens & Types. So, since i have nothing else to do with this Information, here is the result (assuming i made no mistakes).
You have not Nuzlocked the Games Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver, OmegaRuby, AlphaSapphire, Sun, Moon, UltraMoon and Violet. You have played once each through Crystal, Pearl, UltraSun, Sword, Shield, ShiningPearl, BrilliantDiamond and Scarlet, 2 Times through Diamond, White, and X, 3 Times through Ruby,Black, and ,. 4 Times through Sapphire and SoulSilver, 5 Times through Emerald,HeartGold and Black2, and a full on 6 Times through Platinum.
Typewise, you are more Balanced, currently being on 2 runs with Poisen, Steel, Water, Electric, Ice and Fairy, 3 Times with Flying, Ground, Rock, Ghost, Grass (including Today) and Psychic, 4 runs each with Normal, Fighting, Fire, Dragon and Dark, and 5 Times with Bug. I do not know if there is any use for this Information, but as i said, i wrote it down mostly so it would not bug me for Weeks
I tried this once got wiped by Flannery
Petalburg woods is home to bug pokemon mostly. Forests are mostly for Bug types also not really much Grass types.
Roger that sir 🫡
Is this a tease for an ORAS run?
There’s something satisfying about watching Tropius being an unlikely hero.
Justice for a underated poke
It’s meta right now in S/V, funnily enough.
25:50 Fun fact: Swablu waked up because of Natural Cure, an ability that cures all status by switching out the pokemon. In fact, the reason why Swablu was switched out was because of this ability
Lmao “waked up”
@@atomicpunk2360 i knew something was wrong lol, I'm not a native english speaker, sorry for that
@@atomicpunk2360 just to know, the right way to say it is "woke up"?
@@simon3662 yes sir! Sorry I assumed you primarily spoke English 😅 lots of people who speak English make goofy mistakes like that 😂 but yes that is correct 😬
That Flannery strategy execution was a thing of beauty.
Ludicolo being able to learn ice beam is nuts.
Nah, whats nuts is he can Fire Punch lol
Part water
@@ShadowtheRUclipsr523 but how do water Pokémon create ice without being ice type
@@juliangonzalez4038 water types can turn water into ice or hot water.
@@ShadowtheRUclipsr523 but that doesn’t make any sense
Seeing this reminded me of Christmas in 2005. Getting this game for Christmas and playing at night with my flashlight under my covers. It's so surreal how time has just vanished. The memories are so bittersweet.
Thank you Sliph.
“Wowie got an Owie”
I laughed a lot harder than I should have haha
Lovely run Silph, keep it up
I thought to myself I wonder if silph posted. Lo and behold 8 seconds ago he posted!
Very lucky
Divine intervention. God wanted you to watch this video.
You must be a psychic type
I feel a disturbance in the force.
Okay gay
Thanks for having me on thumbnail!
Suggestions: please do some other types of nuzlockes too. Variety is the spice of life.
No problem Sceptile; thanks for your service in this run!
Nah bro there is no way you’re here Sceptile
@@SilphSpectre Silph do a nuzlocke in Pokemon Legends Arceus
@@SilphSpectre Hey Silph Love your videos. I wanted to post an idea that would be fun to see. I would love to see you do a "Falconry" run.🦅🦅 It's a rule set I devised in which you can nuzlocke or not.
Basically you only can use Bird of Prey, dog, and Horse Pokemon. You can have only up to 3 Pokemon in your party at a time and at least 1 of them has to be a Bird Pokemon. You run it with either 2 Birds and a Dog, 2 Dogs and a Bird, or 1 bird dog and Horse. This is inspired by Kazakhstan eagle hunters and English Falconry practices.
Other than that you can run it hardcore, a normal playthrough, or a normal nuzlocke. You don't necessarily start over when you lose a battle but lose when you lose all your eligible bird Pokemon. So if you still have a Bird in your box your still eligible but if your last bird Pokemon dies you must start over.
Hope this gives you another idea for a video. Love your content
This video showcases why I love grass types more than any other. They may have a fair amount of weaknesses and drawbacks, but they make up for it with great versatility. Especially in terms of stat boosts and conditions.
Sceptile is probably my favorite grass starter. So emerald is a good one to do this in for sure!
A super nostalgic one for me for sure!
@@SilphSpectre for sure! Though I spent a lot more time with blaziken and swampert back in gen 3
Gen 3 is the only gen where they got all 3 starters right. Sceptile is a baller!
R u a pmd eot player
Nice to see two of my favorite nuzlockers interacting it’s like a crossover episode
Glad Ludicolo got some love during this playthrough. Ludicolo is an excellent choice for the RSE games: Good bulk, good typing for the region, solid power and coverage. It's a bit of a wait to get, but you'll be rewarded in the end. Great video as always!
The variety of grass types in Hoenn are terrific! So much coverage and fun dual type combos!
Definitely a run I've been anticipating! Stoked to see how you'll get through a run with so many tough counters!
I have a theory that Breloom is cursed to hardly ever make it to the end of a Nuzlocke. Another fantastic run! I love this channel! Thanks Silph!
It's because breloom is extremely frail, so when it misses a KO, it's probably gonna die. Poor breloom, one of my fav mons.
It took me until shroomish to figure out the name scheme lol. Pineapple kush/headband possibly, Acapulco gold, Maui Wowie, Blue/Poison ivy, Bubba kush, White Widow, Grandaddy Purps, and Fruit rollupz/ Roll Up. Clever name theme this go, good stuff silph.
30 years old and just started a new playthrough of Emerald with my OG copy and OG Gameboy SP after YEARS of it being lost and not working! Add Silph’s video to it and talk about the ULTIMATE nostalgia trip 😆😆😆😆
This man keeps getting funnier and funnier! The comedy elements of the video really enhance the experience so keep it up!
I swear man ever since I started watching you all my opponent's mons survive in the red when I thought they were toast for sure, so I'm blaming you XD
“No items in battle” proceeds to use pokeballs 😉 love your videos Silph been watching for ages but this only just occurred to me. All the best man
This video really made me realize how much I love Pokémon emerald, one of my favorite video games ever
I look forward to these literally every week. Over the last year or so, your videos have become part of my everyday routine (I actually fall asleep to them at night and then come back and pick up where I left off) and I couldn’t ask for a better piece of entertainment!
Your jokes and one-liners are honestly the best and I’ve already laughed at least 4 times at 2 and a half minutes in!
Thanks for being so awesome, Silph!! 💚🍀
Here's hoping you use Cradily in this one! One of my favorite grass types and definitely my favorite fossil
Alright, this has been one of the Nuzlockes challenges I have been waiting to see on this channel for a long time. Hoenn has a lot of neat options for Grass Pokemon and some of they finally got the chance to shine here.
Also props to Silph this run since I believe this is the first run where he finally manages to defeat the extra Steven fight in the end.
I did this too. I wiped more than 30 times, including one to Wally, one to Juan and one to Glacia. I eventually succeeded, Shiftry is such a BEAST. I was waiting a long time for silph to try it. Its definetly worth It, but I think dark in emerald is Just as hard.
Edit: I did the ultra hardcore version, in Ruby, where you dont have lombre/ludicolo to fight Flannery, Winona, and Drake. And the final Boss is Steven rather than Wallace, so theres no realiable way to Deal with his Metagross (and Skarmory). Almost. Its doable.
i wasn’t ready for the editing in this one 😂 great video as always!!!
Good morning, good morning! Silph, have you thought about doing an XD gale of darkness or Collusseum nuzlocke? They are both technically main series games and would be interesting to see. I am 95% sure a dark type monorun of XD is possible as you get three dark types right off the bat.
This nickname theme is wild, absolutely love it
I would love to see you do a "Falconry" run.🦅🦅 It's a rule set I devised in which you can nuzlocke or not.
Basically you only can use Bird of Prey, dog, and Horse Pokemon. You can have only up to 3 Pokemon in your party at a time and at least 1 of them has to be a Bird Pokemon.

So if you still have a Bird in your box your still eligible but if your last bird Pokemon dies you must start over.
Hope this gives you another idea for a video.
The fact that they’re all named after weed strains is seriously fucking awesome 😂
Quagmire's giggty got me good lol
This the 1st gardcore hoenn nuzlocke he beat post-game Steven. Nice work
I don’t think I’ve clicked one of your Monotype Nuzlockes quicker than this one. Here’s hoping for a FireRed/LeafGreen Mono-Electric run in the future!
Isn't that just 3 pokemon? Ouch
@@Ninj4Squirtle well 4 if you include Zapdos but knowning this man he doesn't include Legendaries so yeah 3 Pokemon lol
@@Ninj4Squirtle Raichu, Electrode, Magneton, Electabuzz?
@@Squirtle_Squad_Supremacy I forgot electabuzz. But voltorb magnetite and electabuzz are all in the same area arnt they?
@@Ninj4Squirtle isn't electabuzz in the hotel? I remember seeing magmar there. But I'm pretty sure Electrode and Magneton are in the same area
Edit: not hotel mansion
Are there better technical players who have nuzlocke content? Yes. Is Silph still the best because of not only the quality of his videos, but also the hilarious voiceovers? Also, yes. 😂
Silph your videos are amazing the Strats The Plays THE COMEDY bro it's the best!
Hey thanks so much! Very glad to hear you're enjoying them :D
It’s really funny to see the “Confused Lady” meme around the world.
By the way, it’s a brazilian meme and we use it a lot around here.
Thanks for the vid, Silph!
Do a dog or cat only nuzlocke! Or maybe fish or bird looking Pokémon! Very different and good change of pace from type Pokémon nuzlockes
I love the detail of putting the flower corner. How deep!
Poor Wally thinks he's the protagonist, its adorable!
Woo! Grass is my favorite type, with Shiftry being be favorite among them. For grass starters specifically, Its a toss up between Meganium, Sceptile, and Chesnaught. The utility Meganium has makes it a theoretically amazing 'lifestyle' pokemon for a more realistic journey, Sceptile is similar but trades direct support for much better battle capabilities, and I love Chesnaught's aggressive draintank/counter battle style.
Silph the only vanilla nuzlocker i enjoy
Amazing run! Always appreciate you keeping us all entertained, Silph
200 IQ rain dance at the end
I laughed out at that Arnold bit. Keep up the good work!
The adlibs in this video are outstanding!!! The arnold clip is a gem.
can we still hope for some kind of tournament??? TPT remember...btw big fan
The comedy was on point! Great run as always Silph! Keep it up!
What a great run! Loved seeing two of my fav Grass types in Sceptile and Ludicolo shine.
I'm so glad to see you popping more videos lately any chance we could get a dark only for scarlet or violet ?
The moan after you repeatedly pounded Zigzagoon killed me 😂😂😂
Edit: 1:37
A deathless battle against Winona 'wind' Ryder... that's a 'miracle seed' if I ever seen one.
That was amazing! Thanks for doing a grass type nuzlocke on Emerald :)
Hey Silph, great to see you back, hope you have enjoyed your vacation
A suggestion for a run: what about a Fighting team on Pokémon FireRed, to be fair with you, you can have one of the hitmons as your starter, and would be nice if you do the post game, so you can catch some other Fightings poké like heracross and hitmontop
Bro the bit with the avatar movie cracked me up 🤣 was not expecting that
how did you make HIDDEN POWER type FIRE?? Here he always stays in the normal type, and in this old generation he doesn't have the GEM.
Congrats on community pokemon service, I'm a huge fan! hug from Brazil!
The audio clip from Arnold really got me good 😂😂😂
Why did he go for sleep powder on the last Glalie instead of an attacking move? If he attacked it, it would of KO'd and he wouldn't have been hit by hail as that was the last Pokémon, saving his Vileplume. Also, I'm calling rain dance "rain dish" from now on lmao.
Edit: Oh, rain dish is the name of the ability lol.
I would like to see a Regi nuzlocke. The Regis, especially Regigigas, are seen as the weakest legendaries. That slow start ability would be brutal.
"Touch grass!"
*Proceed to monotype hardcore nuzlocke with grass type*
Thank you for still doing early gen nuzlockes. I won't watch any pokemon content past this game
This makes me so happy. Love gen 3 love your gen 3 runs. Sceptile, Breloom and LUDICOLO are dope. Great vid
I wonder if a PURE grass team could have won this challenge. A lot of the run's core moments revolved around the fact that they were multi-typed pokemon. Either way, it was fun to watch. Congrats on your succesful run!
Grass team that has the video end with 4(4:20) nice Silph
27:40
Gets asked a question related to current lifestyle. Gives a resounding "yes." Gets a TM with Giga in the name.
That was an unintentionally meta joke.
Ya that intro made me realize just how many threats there are against grass in this gen. How rude of them
Got to say love that you put so much work into these hardcore nuzlocks and you always do your homework when it comes to them and the comedy is 10/10 🔥🔥. Sceptile was my favorite gen 3 fully evolved starter and emerald may very well be one of the greatest pokemon games of all time top 5 for sure
Who else uses silph videos to fall asleep? 😂
I thought I was the only one.
I did this one myself a while ago for fun. It’s a good challenge, but not outrageously hard, and there’s a good selection of secondary typings to make for some interesting teams. Enjoyed seeing your take on it! I personally used a bellossom instead of vileplume just because I’d never used one, but vileplume is probably more useful.
Great vid so far... how about themed nuzlockes like a feline 🐈 team run or a "sunny day" team so they have to have an ability affected by the sun (for extra difficulty you can't have sun down longer than 2 turns or you have to sack a pkmn at the end of that battle)
I know this video is kinda old, but there's a Seedot in the town of the first badge you need to catch a Ralts for. So you could've had one before Brawly, not that it would've helped much
0:09 Poison in S-Tier ... YEP! That's how you impress a random video visitor like me!
EDIT: 0:12 I guess I need to take back my words that I was impressed. But anyway, I'll watch this video.
I didn't get to start playing Pokemon games of my own until I was 15, despite being born into this series. Emerald has a lot of my favorite Pokemon. Swellow, Linoone, Sceptile, Blaziken, Metagross, Breloom, Flygon, Medicham 🤘👌
this one had a different twist to it as you had more than 6 pokemon in the team and switched between them
Very well done Nuzlocke, congrats!
One thing you might have forgotten is to get Sunflora for the final battle. (not that it mattered) :D
It would have been hilarious if you would have picked up a sunkern in the new safari zone area after the elite four and smashed Steven with a sunflora after roasting it in the intro
Burst out laughing watching this after the pounding a zigzagoon sound edit! Unfortunately was at work on my lunch break and my coworker asked me what so funny 😅
I miss watching these, thank you bro 🫰🏻
That 1st Zigzagoon got me good xD
21:21 …. The moment in there video you laughed way harder than you should have
okay you got a sub just for that clip from avatar. my favourite movies almost ever. you have good taste, friend.
I did this using Sceptile, Ludicolo, Shiftry, Cacturne, Vileplume, Bellossom. Single hardest Mon to get past wasn't Torkoal or Altaria or even Skarmory. It was that goddamned Magneton. Your run comes down to 3 mons and a little RNG with each. It also requires abusing the rematch system with Rich Boy Winston and Lady Cindy, after beating Dad and getting the Amulet Coin from Mom. You'll soon have enough $$$ to buy game corner coins for TMs like Ice Beam (invaluable against Winona)
As far as dealing with her Torkoal, double team spam is the best strat. Overheat only has 90 base accuracy, so it's a gamble, but one that can pay off in a big way if you get lucky enough for a turn 1 miss.
These strain names caught me off guard 😂
Who else is loving the consistency of uploads? Wait, plan come to fruition against May? I see what you did there 😏
Wowie got an owie… 🤣💀
1:34
Silph: After repeatedly pounding the Zigzagoon…
Girl: *moan*
Zigzagoon: *Yamate kudasai!*
I about choked on my spaghetti on that avatar meme
Grass has 5 weaknesses. Ice, Fire, Bug, Flying and Poison. Clerical error at the start of the video.
This bought back memories. I tried this when I was only 12.it was not a nuzlocke but I only used grass types in emerald.
Thank you good sir for the wonderful vid.
I laughed so hard at the zigzagoon joke
So I kind of have an idea for a new kind of nuzlock. We change some of the rules. Where every gym you have to swap your type entirely, however it CANNOT be anything super effective against the gym. This lets you play with more pokemon and more strategies and theories.
This run was insane ! Congratulations Silph
Have u done a shiny only nuzzlock or is that not ure thing? Either way I love ure videos
That Flannery strategy was wicked cool!!!
This nickname theme xD love this and your videos.
you did wally so dirty in that final battle bro sheesh
Year 2 of requests. Do a run of B2W2 in CHALLENGE MODE. You choose the type.
Sunflora is one of my favorite Pokémon, but gets so much disrespect! I mean it probably deserves it 😂
So you can actually get the Oddish pre-Brawly. It's not *great* since it doesn't evolve until after Brawly but it can give you a little wiggle room.
I still can't believe that freezai struggled so much at waynona
this was the one nickname theme i immediately understood after the first name
I know this is old but I think I found a good strategy for Winona. Lileep will proc skarmory then switch in shiftry with synthesis, growth, harden and faint attack maxed evs in Def and hp. Stack harden and growth then faint attack and heal when needed
