      Happy new year! As a fellow subscriber mentioned in one of your previous videos it would be a good idea to make a nuzlock using only the Pokémon of one region in Scarlet/Violet especially with the first gens.

      Happy new years! Sucks you got the food poisoning, but happy you feel better. Since you have been doing nuzlockes for a long time, you should try to do pokemon run & bun as it truly tests your skills to their limit where there is little who succeeded to finish without dozens of runs.

    "A little bit weird to use a special attacking Nidoking." How to tell Antler doesn't use Nidoking all that often, at least outside of casual play. Even without Sheer Force, mixed Nidoking that prefers special attacks is its best set. Its only a 7 point difference between the two attack stats, but its special movepool has always been so much better.

      Never been a competitive player (don't have the brain power, it's like chess with 1000 pieces to me), but Special Nidoking is my MVP of all time after wiping Drake for me in a GenLocke then being the only survivor against Lance when I severely underestimated the HGSS elite 4 in the next leg of the GenLocke. Good times.

      The bolt-beam combo has historically been run on Normal, Psychic, and Water type Pokemon who can learn both moves and not on electric or ice types.
      Poison types just run coverage moves and take advantage of their amazing defensive typing.

    I think a pokemon infinite fusion would be great and last one was 6 months ago but I think to make it a little harder you can spin a wheel and fuse the pokemon who were chosen by the wheel and you can replace the entire team after every major battle to show more fusions this will be random so you cannot be prepared.

I'm happy to see folks Nuzlocke the ones they like, but looking at Meatball's type chart, this game has been COMPLETELY covered, and then folks throw up runs of Gens 3-5 every time you sneeze. I'd be eager to see what you do with less covered games like Yellow, Let's Go, Legends Arceus.

    I've been doing Nuzlocke for years, and the poison monotype (which is one of the best types in the game, being a highly defensive type) was one of those I did on these Gen 2 remakes. And obviously I plan the battles using calculators and all the documents I have available.
    Before Faulkner, on HG, you can catch 4 Pokémon, Spinarak (route 30), Bellsprout (Route 31), Zubat (Dark Cave), Gastly (Sprout Tower).
    Analyzing the opposing team I brought everyone to a few points from level 14, I inserted against Pidgey in turn Zubat, Spinarak and Bellsprout (as a moveset he only has Tackle and Sand-Attack), poisoning him with the Grass-Poison Pokémon, as soon as he was about to run out of HP I inserted Gastly (which thus received the exp to go up to 14 without taking damage, since Pidgey used Tackle and all the others went up to 14). Entering Pidgeotto I made Curse (Gust did about 20-25% damage according to the calculator), I inserted Zubat and between Curse and Bite I closed the game without even one Pokémon KO.
    Why didn't you catch Gastly?

      In this gen, Curse is not a Ghost type.

    13:34 isn't there a Mystic Water in Cherrygrove City with surf? You don't get to boose all the Sp Atk but at least Surf does more damage

    The best part of this run is that only 2 pokemon are from the starting region Johto, the rest all came from Kanto.

    I actually love Spinarak it's really cute and might be my favorite bug type besides maybe Ribombee.

    Poison types are heavily underated. sure thier not great offensively (until like gen 6) but defensively they have some solid resistances that have def saved some of my personal nuzelocks
    Edit: Also the quillfish at the end looks so surprised to be there

    Yeah, if I get around to a Poison Nuzlocke in Johto, I'd be playing SoulSilver. You can't get Spinarak in that game, but catching both Beedrill and Ekans before Falkner's gym (when both are unavailable until you reach Goldenrod in HeartGold) is more valuable than catching Spinarak... ever. :/
