I love how every time he’s explaining his strat for the gym he’s like “here’s my plan but unfortunately something was wrong” *proceeds to explain that the plan worked fine
Playing an Emerald Hardcore Nuzlocke, and I found a shiny Poochenya yesterday, and today I found a shiny Silcoon. Two full odds shinies, a day a part. Meanwhile my Honedge shiny hunt in Sword and Shield took a month
Wow this feels great I actually found your channel JUST yesterday and binged all of these hardcore challenges! Glad you made another one today, I love watching these!
@@MeepMurp72 I know it's an Arcanine but it's one of the best dog Pokemon right next to manectric and houndoom. Houndoom is better though. (blotund, it's just a side man)
It seemed that you were trying to lower the damage output from Salamence’s dragon claw using intimidate but dragon type moves were all special in gen 3. Taking that one not consideration I still don’t know if it’d change the outcome by much
Very thematic. In an absolute last-ditch Hail Mary, Hoenn's greatest champion vanquishes the unstoppable type of Darkness. A tale for the ages, and you should be proud of your role in it (as antagonist, mind).
Being named after a Carvanha, I feel honored. That was a great run! I am currently playing through a Fire Red Nuzlocke, same rules, but with a Ground team. Misty has wiped me about 8 times so far :(
That was a real fucking rollercoaster. Great narration work dude. Excited to see what's next. Bug-Only Unova? Normal-Only Sinnoh? Grass-only HGSS? Can tell you from experience the latter is extreme suffering when you can let your Pkmn faint.
I hope you bring back going over the possible encounters before your challenges. I find it interesting to hear your thought process on why you chose a certain game and you're ideal plan. It gives me more to think about as I watch and that makes it a bit more interesting to me.
I’m not a fan of RUclipsrs flashing subscriber stats, but you’re the first one I’ve seen do it without sounding obnoxious. Love your videos, I hope you break 1 million!
You could've waited until Nuzleaf learns Extrasensory before using the Leaf Stone on it. It is type coverage against Fighting and Poison and until Generation 4, Extrasensory is Nuzleaf's signature move.
Damn, that was intense! I had a blast though, these challenges are amazing for the sundays and always a blast to watch! That Walrein though, it was trying it's best to use sheer cold..
The problem with ice types is that you don't find any in the early game, and that goes for every single Pokémon game. The earliest Ice type of all Pokémon games are the ones in Sword/Shield's Wild Area
He’d have to play like 3/4 the game to get one in gens 1-4 Same with dragon and steel types, GF just doesn’t seem to want to give you early access to some types, I guess because then it’s not so notable how few ice types there are
This is really cool to see because i ATTEMPTED this exact challenge like a week ago, and got walled by Watson and quit. Cant wait to see how you do it!
I've just done this, or at least attempted it. I got very unlucky against Drake. That said, while it's usually not the best Ghost or Dark type for a regular playthrough Sabeleye is GODLY in a Nuzlocke.
Imma just say that poochena as a line are just Chad's. Like, stats be damned they just always make the clutch in my experience, it's weird. Regardless I love them.
^_^ Absolutely love dark type Pokemon & watching dark type challenges, it's the most challenging but also hardest to play with / to work with but also the very best in some ways, that can't be matched ! So it's very nice to see someone who took on these challenges! Not many dare do it or seek such a challenge & I do have a appreciation for the content earnestly. Ummm.... sorry, I meant Eevee" will turn into Umbreon at night, btw ! So I used him to help me . .... It's interesting !... I never thought to trade with myself or a friend to get him, but also I admire his Dark type videos & adore the strategies. Smart at the very least! an I'll add that it's super cool, Well, I learned alot, so thanks in accord for this Sir. Sincerely, Pauly~
7:00 the fact you had your speed reduced probably helped. The emerald AI doesn't use speed reducing moves if they're already faster, unless they roll a kill with it.
this was the first video of you I ever watched and I subscribed immediately. thanks for the great work you put in your videos, I really enjoyed it and I'm happy that now I have so many more content to watch! :D
Just spent 6 hours on watson - 14 wipes and FINALLY come up with the perfect strat! You should see it and with no attract so you don’t need the gender rng Here it goes Nuzleaf fake out into rock tomb Switch to sableye for explosion (always explodes) Fake out electric then thief. Switch to mightyena on the potion, go to plus 4 attack 2 rock smashes (only failed once because electric didn’t go with leer or howl at all! But is rare and worth the risk) Rock smash magmaton twice From here Mightyena has finished once for me. But if he gets to one quick attack will kill then switch to sableye and this is where the free win/ magic happens. Sableye Will learn detect through the 1 level up during battle teach it this Use torment - then on the shock wave turns use detect and non shock wave turns it can’t hit you and use thief Seriously only consistent strat took way to long to figure out Cheri Berry M and N Blackglasses S
Just subscribed bro 👍🏽 I really like the fact that you try your best to play around your teams weaknesses. Instead of just leveling up past the obstacles. Keep these videos coming and you will hit 100K in no time.
Aw, you lost this one? That sucks. You did good, though, at least. Y'know what would be interesting? A mono-type run on any game, no nuzlockes, but still retaining some of the hardcore rules. That sounds enticing to me. For the next game, how about one of the Alola games? Or using the Fairy Type in any other game? Either or, you should try that.
This dude's commentary is funny af. It threw me off because I'm used to him being all professional when commentating on the gym leader tournament battles.
I'm done playing Dark Type... How did I defeat Wattson? I lead with Mightyena holding Blackglasses then spamming Bite but I got a critical hit on Magneton!
These videos are addictive. Just watched 4 in a row. Great content. Would you consider doing fairy 🧚♀️ types in either X/Y, Alpha Sapphire/Omega Ruby or Sun/Moon?
Intimidating Salamance wasn't good choice, cos he got only one physical move. Dark/fire and dragon types are special in this gen, so lowering his attack was only good for his Rock Slide.

37:49 if you did that much damage with Absol unboosted, you definetely killed the Salamence +3! You should have totally stayed with it
read my mind good sir 🧐
he was acttually at +4, meaning that he had triple the normal atk stat. it would definitely killed.

This is my favorite nuzlocke channel. You actually show when you lose, which makes it waaaaaay more exciting to watch.
Brawly's team gave me a flashback from my first (and only) nuzlocke, where I just evolved a nincada and killed everything with shedinja XD.

Actually, in the first fight with Maxie at least, Camerupt has Ember. Well, unless that was only for Ruby/Sapphire.

Noooooo! My favourite mon of the team. R.I.P shenzi.
I feel like a dark-type nuzlocke should have a lot of cussing. We'll see.
You would be correct
You guessed right
Corrrrrrect! Because Dark type is a edgy pokemon!
im so glad that you pushed on with mighteyeana so far! such a difficult pokemon to fully utilize but you did great!
My guy’s been crushing it recently!
Appreciate you!
You could have beaten Mence if you hadn't swapped out your +3 Absol, even unboosted you half healthed it and outsped, either way great video!
I have no idea what to expect but that's probably a good thing huh?
It wouldn't have made a huge difference but Dragon Claw is Special in Gen 3, so Intimidate drops made no difference against the Salamence.
Darkness is my passion
Wtf

Here it goes

Switch to sableye for explosion (always explodes)
Fake out electric then thief. Switch to mightyena on the potion, go to plus 4 attack 2 rock smashes (only failed once because electric didn’t go with leer or howl at all! But is rare and worth the risk)
Rock smash magmaton twice
From here Mightyena has finished once for me. But if he gets to one quick attack will kill then switch to sableye and this is where the free win/ magic happens.
Sableye Will learn detect through the 1 level up during battle teach it this
