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? Today we find out: can I beat a Pokemon Scarlet Hardcore Nuzlocke with only new Gen 9 Pokemon? 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 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 Gen 9 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.

Well, here we go, our first Gen 9 run!! Thanks so much for the support you guys, don't forget to check if you're Subscribed to the channel as we're on the road to a quarter million!
Do Pokémon like cookies
Yay🎉🎉🎉
The power of sandwiche is amazing
I think in your Violet run, you should do the same, new 'mons, but those you didn't use in this run.
You haven'r finished the game, you're missing the last part
I'd like to see a "Doglocke" of this game. There are exactly 6 "dog" Pokemon in this game: Houndour, Fidough, Greavard, Growlithe, Maschiff, and Rockruff. I feel like that would be a challenge worthy of a video. Especially since it's would be filled with "good bois".
What about riolu?
@@rosiewelham426 riolu's a furry. And it is overused a lot.
@@rosiewelham426 I think dogs are classified by being on four legs
Luxray? Or is that more a cat?
@@kynandecoster3752 Way too cat-like. Although, Manectric could go on the list. Just don't know if you can get it during the games.
I would say that in the future, nuzlockers should do the whole campaign. The credits don't roll until you finish all three story paths, and beat the final area. This was fun, though!
PokemonChallenges did finish it all if that's what you want? It was an interesting watch.
@@TheMS991 where did you find that because I didn't see any on his channel
@@DuelingDexperts PokemonChallenges and it's one of his more recent ones. His one death = reset nuzlocke.
Like literally the channel pokemon challenges not this one
@@TheMS991 yeah I know who your talking about I just hadn't checked his page since the videos with pointcrow, guess RUclips subscription notifications are broke again lol thanks for letting me know!
Cool run, but in the future, I think SV runs should go until the credit roll, as there is a final chapter once you beat all three routes, and (with the other routes) it only accounts for about 3 more major battles
Not to mention the final fight is VERY challenging!
Can I only go level cap on the gyms?
@@Stevow_ I mean, sure I guess. Do whatever. I ain’t your dad
@@Stevow_ tbf, there are level maps with the caps for everything on the internet now. Personally I cap myself at the next objective, since it's easy enough to pick and choose encounters
yep, imo the run has to hit the credits.
For offensive purposes: You keep your stab + terastal stab (meaning you can have triple stab damage bonus)
For defensive purposes: You receive damage based only on your terastal (e.g. If you change to electric, you'll only receive super effective damage from ground type attacks)
You gain a 0.5x bonus from normal stab, and another 0.5x from terastalizing, so terastalizing to one of your original tyoes is a net 2x bonus, not 3x!
@@hodgepodge8438 STAB is 1.5x. And given how pokemon multipliers usually works, it's likely gonna be 1.5x multiplied by 1.5x, which ends up as 2.25x.
@@ShadowSaberBaroxio my brother in christ there's a class IN GAME that says its a 2x boost
@@hodgepodge8438 Stay in school kids!
Wish you had completed the game for this nuzlocke. The titans and team star bosses can be genuinely challenging
The difficulty level of this game was refreshing--I think they finally somewhat balanced the permanent EXP share (even though I wish they'd just make it optional again) so that I never felt too over-leveled.Some of the gyms and star bosses are legitimately tricky if you don't have a full team / good type resistance.
I think the level balance in this game was done pretty well though it definitely feels off starting out due to the circular nature of Paldea. After clearing all three stories though, I was back to being underleveled for everything which is honestly a bit refreshing. Think they could've toned up the difficulty just a touch more by adding maybe some pseudo scaling to major fights. Basically, have a minimum level the fight can be so you don't just rush everything in the beginning but if you go over the level of said minimum fight, the fight will scale up to that level to make up for it. Could use a somewhat similar system to wild pokemon and their level up moves to also adjust movesets.
I wish I'd had the challenge that everyone else seems to have had! I spent long periods exploring and finding items so my Pokemon were ridiculously overleveled from mostly the auto-battling alone. I had a fully-evolved starter before the 2nd gym and had no trouble with any of the battles, which might sound like a brag but I wanted to be challenged and I was really disappointed.
@@graceholbert2126just use your weaker ones and use as much as the gym leader has. Putting too strong mons in the box works too.
No AI Sada was a bit disappointing, since it's the true battle end of the game and the most challenging! Hopefully your next challenge gets there.
Spoilers
@@ryanbregitzer4187 nice bait.
I have to agree with the other comments. The run isn’t over until the credits roll. I hope you go through it for future runs!
@Spaceboy the titans and star base aren’t side content tho? You literally don’t get credits until you’ve done all 3 paths and done the last battle in area zero. They’re just as much part of the game as the gym story line
@spaceboy2031 I consider any Johto run that doesn't defeat Red incomplete and those are more side content then the 18 badges that Scarlet and Violet offer.
The badges you get for Team Star bases and Titans are counted equally to gym badges on my trainer card, which means this game sets the new record for badge numbers. You need them all to see the credits and frankly the Arvin fight and the final normal battle in Area Zero are 2 of the toughest fights in the game. They make the champion look like a joke.
People can define a challenge for themselves however they want, but if they put themselves before the public they will face public scrutiny of their decisions. For Silph's part I really enjoy his videos and am disappointed I didn't see his reaction to the hard fights and interesting plot events of the endgame.
@Spaceboy Red is definitely the final challenge in HGSS. Not sure who just quits halfway through lol. Even silph's nuzlockes include Kanto.
@@Dpmt He probably didn't do till the end because 1. It's a generation full of Pokémon he is still getting used to, 2. The games are new and take quite a few time to finish and he already said leveling up was getting harder, 3. He lost quite a few great Pokémons and would need to train again more to fill the gaps after the elite four fight and the possible deaths he could have, 4. You already said the last fights are some of the hardest of the whole game. For him, losing this fight is the same as doing all over again, which would make him lose a shit ton of time and 5. This video is already very long. If he put all the rest of the story, it would be a 1 hour and a half video and although some people like that, many won't watch till the end.
And lastly: it's your opinion that the HGSS playthroughs that don't go till Red are not complete, even though it is considered post game as the main story was already finished and major events already ended. Some people don't want to fight Red because their teams might not be in good shape after E4 + Champion and some find that the Red fight might need more luck than skill to win depending on the team, which makes it useless to do as in the end the chance of loosing is way too big. Not to say that depending in their agenda, grinding till Red's level might consume time they would use to make another video. It's his first playthrough of the new games, so I really don't know why you guys are so upset. It's not as if he isn't going to do any more gen 9 runs.
@@Deerthedoe6842 One thing I respect about Silph is he is will to upload the Nuzlocks he fails, generally on the champion at the end of the game. If he just put the final 4 missing boss fights in I doubt the video would be much longer, but first impressions on the other Titans and Team Star bases would have been interesting especially this run when they are fresh.
Like I said before people can have whatever rules they want playing on their own, but I know I'm disappointed when I see an HGSS or GSC run that doesn't chalange Red as a viewer. Perhaps because Lance, like Geeta, is kind of a weak champion.
I've been watching Silph for years and would probably take a chance on anything he puts out, but it's too bad we won't see his initial impressions of big parts of this story. Just like it is too bad there doesn't appear to be any rumbling about a Sinnoh True Power tournament. Which would also make a nice change of pace.
35:30 that ultra ball there (or whatever ball your lead Pokémon is in) is a normally invisible trigger for entering/exiting the build. Due to a memory leak issue with the game, once it’s running for long enough these triggers will become visible and various other visual bugs will occur (i.e trainer face not changing AT ALL when eating sandwiches). Fun times!
I know a number of other comments are saying it but I'll say it as well. I hope future nuzlockes of this game go all the way to the true final boss. If you go to the Red fight in HGSS, I'd like to see all the fights in this.
It's funny that you nicknamed your Starter Pepper, as in the German Version Arven is called pepper too. Was a little bit confused 😂
So the German version is more faithful to the original there
He's Pepper in Japanese as well.
In french version too, I think english version probably the only one with a different name
Flower Trick never misses and always crits, I’m surprised it hasn’t been picked in the competitive scene yet.
So many pokemon in this new gen are absolutely op
@@magellan6439 cyclizar shed tail is generally not fair. And then they nerf old Pokemon like greninja (protean only works for one type now, for example instead of every attack it switches type it’s only one)
@@JeyJey_WIS99 yeah cyclizar is new and is op. I'm also mad about the protein nerf. Especially because meowscarada has it
it has been picked in the competitive scene
Hasn't it been picked yet? If not then maybe it's other stats make it not tat good. I dont really know cuz I never checked it'd stats. I didn't use it since I didn't like it's design
I absolutely love Fuecoco so much. Happy you picked the croc! I definitely have a bias against fire type starters too, but this guy is one of the few exceptions for sure.
Lol it's the worst starter do to horrendous speed.
@@jonahkolell and? I think it looks cool.
@@princeapoopoo5787 i completely agree just sad that it's been 10 years since a great new gen was released and the fire starter is lack luster
I'm just devastated by Quaxly, I really hoped for some sort of sailor/pirate captain theme. Luckily my 2nd choice grass kitty looks good enough for me to be happy.
The fire croc is abit to much digimon for my tastes, it feels overdesigned.
For your next challenge do a nuzlocke of all 3 storylines in scarlet or violet
I’m really glad I’m not the only one who struggled with that Namona fight, it was the first time in the game where I got punished for not trying
Boxes being available in the Elite Four makes me think that the level caps should be applied individually, so if you overlevel off one you need to swap your team. Also I’d apply level caps to Team Star, while not worrying as much about caps for Titans, so the final story can be played.
Can’t tell you how much I enjoy watching these. They sure allow you to take a load off and enjoy some good content
Another Amanda in these nuzlocke runs that is a complete beast.
Feeling so proud to be sharing a name with these MVPs.
Tinkatuff is such a cool pokemon. Steel/fairy with a move called gigaton hammer and it is brutal.
Would love to see you do the full team star/titans and area zero part for the nuzlocke too
Hey Silph
Any chance for the next challenges you include the Star Team and the Titan questlines?
Haven’t wachted any gen 9 content yet as I have been waiting for this
next time you gotta include the final professor battle though, like Red at the end of HG/SS
Amazing stuff as always man!! Was very surprised to see this newer content out so quickly. But then again, it’s you so in hindsight- not surprised at all. 🤣
Been so hype to see your first SV challenge video! Great stuff keep it up Silph!
Lets gooooo! Finally able to watch the vid! I did the same run although not hardcore nuzlocke SILPH style xD
I actually did this as my first playthrough! Meowscarada was easily the mvp of my entire run
I was gonna, but then I realized that talonflame was in the game and just had to use it haha
@@Snowstorm174 Can't blame you, Talonflame is my favorite gen 6 Pokemon and one of my favorites overall lol
Flower Trick is soooooo OP, I'm glad i picked Sprigatito and didn't have to find out about flower trick that way 🤣🤣
when they were like “lol u can go anywhere and battle the gyms however you want!” i went to kofu immediately…..it did not go well
I think people wanted level scaling and kinda thought they'd do it like in Kanto where there were 5 or so badges around the same level that could go in any order
@@StealthNinja4577 that’s sort of what i was hoping for but i think at the end they balanced it well with the titans and team star bases
Silph, just know you’re very appreciated for your content and personality alike.
I'm so disappointed it wasn't a blind run; theorycrafting takes all the fun out of it. What's the point if you know everything your opponent's going to do before they do it, working out damage calculators and stuff too?
Might as well just run us through your calcs instead, show it's possible and say goodnight.
Dudunsparce is certainly one of the Pokemon of all time
Let’s go!!!! I was waiting for you to drop this!
Annihilape was easily my favourite new Pokémon. It also happened to be an absolute beast on my team.
That was a really fun run to watch Silph and it surprisingly looked like a decent challenge. I look forward to seeing more scar/vio nuzlockes from you
It's funny. Fuecoco was far from my least favorite when the first forms were revealed. But after seeing all of them fully evolved, he definitely looks the best. Unique idea, and the only non humanoid Evo to boot. Easily the best pokemon of the 3.
I very much prefer meowscarada but can respect your opinion
Lmaoo 7:26 never change Silph
Maybe next time you can challenge yourself further by doing the full game Nuzlocke (Path of Legends, Operation Starfall and Pokémon League)
At first I said Ugh...yet another run where someone starts with Fuecoco. By the end and as always, awesome run, Silph! Thanks for posting! Can't wait until the next one!
Perfect timing! Great content as always
That first battle was crazy and those nicknames are wild 🤣
I've been waiting desperately for this!!!! Thank you Silph
Gen 9 has so many good new mons. It is crazy.
One thing I like about Gen 9 are all the new cool combos of types!
Shame they're all like 8 inches tall.
@@StealthNinja4577 the giant rock golem:
@@bigpoggers6507 here's your gold star for the exception to the rule where silph spends the entire run looking at the ground at barely visible specs that evolve into things like that golem.
Yeah, like over half of the new Pokemon are competitively viable, some being really broken.
Great content as always Silph! Any plans for the Gen 4 true power series?
Great new vid on this Sunday afternoon ! Thanks Silph
🤣🤣🤣 I laughed so hard at the rival meme.
I have been so looking forward to this vid !
I appreciate the Skeledirge line choice
Awesome video
Meowscarada's Flower Trick always hits AND always crits
This is Gen 1 Persian using Slash on steroids
A "blind" playthrough where he hasn't seen the pokemon, but somehow knows that Bellibolt has water gun before it ever attacks...
Lmao true
He also knew where the liquidation TM was in this "blind" run
I'm seeing a pattern in the choices of challenge tubers, they've mostly chosen Fuecoco and all chosen Scarlet so far. One or two picked the water starter, no one has chosen the grass cat yet.
Grass is the hardest 😂
@@taylorjames14 as someone who chose grass cat gotta disagree being fast as hell and having an auto hit crit is insane
Scarlett have the best waifu professor
I'm really surprised everyone's doing Scarlet, particularly because Violet is the more popular version.
@@magellan6439 grass/dark is a really bad type and is weak to the first gym, not great against the second, good against klawf but quaxly is better and weak against bombirdier. Bad against all the team star fights and bad against the elite 4 🤷🏻♂️
They go with fuecoco cause he murders the early game and is better for the elite 4
My favorite part of this game is Larry. I thought he was just some 9-5 worker on top of being a gym leader, but it turned out his 9-5 was being an elite four member lol! he's my favorite character now.
22:42 I love how you actually waited for that kid to move before selecting a move lmao.
I think if you would do multiple "new Pokemon only" nuzlocks you would have a whole series at your hands. This was fun to watch
Feel like you should’ve done the team star bases, titans and area zero
10 days waiting to watch this video, I bought the game one day before the video and I wasn't wanting any kind of spoiler, but I'm finally here to enjoy this amazing and wonderful job, you're awesome Silph, greetings from Mexico
Me: A gen 9 Pokémon nuzlocke could make this difficul-..
Tinkaton: Hold my beer and hand me my mallet.
Was waiting for this run
Awesome run, would love it if, for the next run, you do the other two storylines? It unlocks a final section that's relatively short, but really cool!
This was unexpected! Loved it.
It’s always a good when Silph uploads a nuzlocke 🥰
As a heads up, Flower Trick, Meowscarada's signature move, always hits and always crits. Insanely powerful for a pokemon with 100+ in both attack and speed.
Hooray for new Pokemon playthrough! Maybe you'll do more with others since there's so many new pokemon? Also btw Rika is said Ree-ka not Rye-ka just fyi
Not only that but Rika is a she, not a he.
Happy silf Sunday! Stoked on this (:
Can't wait to see the mono-type runs you're gonna do in this game!!
Awesome run! Annihilape is my new favourite pokemon of all time. Also found not one, but two shiny mabostiffs without hunting
I loved most of the new pokemon introduced. Besides a few side things, scarlet and violet were amazing. Loved these games
"Wicked Fun" 22:23 Ah a fellow New Englander was spotted.
Just finished the game myself.
Dat last story man...
Tears shall flow.
1) Rita is a she.
2) Dudunsparce and Moushold have multiple forms like 2 or 3 body segments for former and 3or 4 mouse form for the latter.
3) you would think with recent technology that we would have good shinies but Snom, Pincurchin, etc prove otherwise
4) new performance patch is out now
5) you became a champion class student but you didn’t even finish half of the story so this is challenge considered incomplete
Really fun playthrough!
Surprised you didn't keep Rage Fist on Annihilape. It starts at 50 base power, but each time it gets hit, you add 50 (to a max of 300 or 350), and that count doesn't go away if you switch (or get KOed and revive, but that's not applicable to a nuzlocke). That way it can tank a hit and have a 100 power Ghost move, then add 50 power each time it takes another hit.
I used one in my run, and between Rage Fist and Drain Punch via TM, it was a real beast.
And i had a shell bell too! Complete destruction
Yo I see some broken things for that fire type starter in competitive...silph you are a master, would you do a soul link by chance though?
I was hoping you would make one of these for the new game but didn't think you would do this is a very pleasant surprise
NICE!!!! A silph video to go with my breakfast in Hawaii...
If and when you do another run of this game remember that the throat spray works on torch song so you can get a nasty plot in 80 base fire attack form.
I'd love to see you complete all of the routes/stories for your next run of these games
Damn it silph I was trying not to see the end game before I could beat it! But I could not, not watch your video. Great video though.
well I don't think Jacq is meant to be the same name as Jack is
yup exactly with Nemona using Tera on Pawmi, the Tera boosts its Electric type even more since it matches its original typing
8:55 yes with Katy's Teddiursa, I think normally it's Normal-type but her use of Tera on it means it's pure Bug type but still gets STAB for the original typing and the Tera typing variety so it's a good variety idea to use for some species
18:21 at least you didn't do any damage to Orthworm since its Earth Eater ability actually heals itself when hit by Ground moves
26:03 yes Meowscarade is part Dark BUT it wouldn't matter since Nemona used Tera on it so it went to being a pure Grass type at that point although it would have the Tera boosted STAB for the Grass-type moves and regular STAB for Dark-type moves
Flower trick, Meowscarada’s signature move, is a 70 power grass move that never misses and always crits
Oh yeah never miss power 140 move is cracked
YOU WEREN'T SPOILED ON THIS GAME???? HOW??
After seeing how Nemona's Meowscarada caught you off guard, I realize that they actually did a good job making it challenging for challenge runners without being too brutal on players willing to take advantage of all of the things that make the game "too easy". As noted by the slight change in the wording of your rules, Set Mode doesn't actually exist in this game, and the Nemona fights especially are balanced around the idea that you're always able to immediately switch to counter whatever she's about to bring in. The only time I actually _lost_ a battle (I wasn't doing a full-fledged challenge run, but I did ban myself from using items in battle since none of the trainers in this game ever do, a change from previous generations where boss battles spammed healing items) was the final Nemona battle, and that's because even the forced Shift Mode can't protect you from not _leading_ the right Pokémon: once I had Meowscarada in front to one-shot her Lycanroc with Flower Trick before it could set up rocks, the battle went from brutal to trivial.
Love the videos Silph
I had an almost identical team as the final one in here pretty cool seeing how you handled the game with the new mons
I was so excited to see you do a nuzlocke so soon after the games came out, and I enjoyed this a lot, but I was wondering. I'm not sure how blind you chose to be, so I might be talking about stuff you already know about, but I think the other two stories (team star and the titans) are just as good and important, plus they unlock even more story once you beat all 3. I'd love to see your type runs, or even a continuation of this one, where you go all the way to the even harder boss fights ! Either way good luck !
The Nacli line is my favorite new mon. I love the pun names
I was genuinely surprised by the ability and Pokémon buffs in this game.
Like Hoppip learns attacking moves before level 10? Awesome~ If I hadn't chosen the kibby I would have used a Jumpluff. Or a Bramblin. Or any of the other awesome grass types.
26:40 - just to let you know. Flower trick is an evil move. It will ALWAYS crit and it will ALWAYS hit unless you’re using fly or dig etc.
Edit: Ahh you mentioned it just after haha
Your content is awesome! however this looks easy AF, that plus the glitches I dont think I am getting on this Gen
Okay the luck in this run with getting both squakabilly and Maschiff without intimidate XD
*sees Silph video in feed*
Hapiness increased drastically!
Mental health increased drastically!
Sadness fell drastically!
Saving this one for whenever I finish my playthrough. I'm trying to stay spoiler free, but now I don't get my weekly Silph fix!
45/9. I honestly wasn't sure if you could pull this off, but I'm glad you did. Entertaining as always.
yeah even on my casual playthrough i didnt have any faints or trouble with it
also you only did 1/3 of the game
Great respect for that helmet. I felt like you wear it for the green ranger. Rip Jason David Frank aka Tommy the green ranger
i know like nothing about nuzlockes but i really enjoy watching your videos and they've helped me learn a little about natures and how they play with ivs too🙏
Had to watch it in small bites so the last battles weren't spoiled 😅 but great stuff Silph !
All these new mons and your the man that's just crazy enough to do a nuzelock run without any knowledge of trainers or typing. I am so excited to play but I'm waiting for Christmas so that I can finish brilliant diamond becuase I've been slacking. And no not slaking your weebs! Loved the video silph thanks for making my lunch at work the best it could be.
Love your videos, very entertaining and oddly educational! Lol
Curious about whether you will complete the other two available storyline. Mainly because you technically beat the elite 4 and Mona, but not the strongest trainer in the game! Hint: he/she will only reveal themselves through the titan storyline!
Don't settle for being the second best trainer in the game.
i feel like these should be called can I beat the pokemon league in scarlet nuzlock. since its not beating the game, you didn't do any titants or team star. doing all three paths, and maintaining a level curve IS the new can I beat the game nuzlocke
Man I found your youtube like a week ago and i am adictive to it lol haha
I wonder how you get the lvl caps for the run?
So glad you're enjoying them my friend! Level caps are based on the highest level Pokémon of each Gym Leader. Hope that clarifies!
Ive remained spolier free but i just gotta watch the nuzlocking goat do a run
Finally, Silph's gen9 nuzlocke 💪🔥
