On Larry's defense, his dialogue says that World's Worst Champion forces him to change type for his Elite Four battle and he would rather stick to Normal Types.
His commitment to his career is truly commendable!
Man I hate everything about that new champion.
Super forgettable look, over designed, stupid hair, awfully weak and uninspired pokemon choices and the one mon that would be worthy of not just being part of a champions team but maybe even the ace, is not even the ace

"Strong Pokemon, Weak Pokemon, these are only the selfish conceptions of Trainers, except for when enough people agree that certain Pokemon are too weak to deserve to be on the champion's team, then they're not just selfish conceptions any more"
- Elite Four Karen
@@alexread6767 I understand what your counter to that persons argument. But I have to agree with Frank West here. The champion in Scarlet and Violet barley has any significance within the region and the plot of the game. When she does show up in the story she just shows up says a few words and does nothing. Hell I can't even remember her name without looking it up on google. Not to mention she is lacking in any personality like the previous champions had that made us remember them. All the game tells us that she is just a champion that's it. At least Diantha had something to her even though her being an actress contributed nothing to Pokémon x and y. She had a nice design and a calm, collected and graceful personality. and going back to that Karen quote. We actually don't even know how deep her connection is with her Pokémon so we can't say for sure that their her favorite Pokémon. There Pokémon that's just there for a champion to have. and its a poorly made team. Her Ace and Kingambet are her only two memorable Pokémon .
I wouldn’t necessarily say over designed but I do understand where you’re coming from. It’s a very unusual design and the eyes are off putting, gives off the vibes of that fairy gym leader in X and Y. I do agree with the Pokémon choices being uninspired as we get no reason as to why she really chose them ( or really how they would fit with her personality or aesthetic )
Fun Fact: That wasn't an eagle cry. It was the cry of a red-tailed hawk.
Shush it was eagle crys cry

you stole my line
@@wholelottanuts booooooooooooo
Dunsparce is based on a Japanese mythological creature known as the Tsuchinoko (ツチノコ or 槌の子), a legendary snake that lived deep in the mountains, so I guess fat snake is an appropriate name for our favorite girl
i was just about to comment this.
My favorite part is that the Tsuchinoko is basically a real world joke character. It really fits with Dunsparce's whole vibe.
Chubby snek
Tsuchinoko real
This is also why dunsparce can learn roll out - tsuchinoko is known for eating its own tail and rolling like a tire
That trivia section was truly….. something huh?
Ikr huh
Truly a harrowing Tale
Nah, nothing out of the… *ordinary.* get it?
Man became Abe Simpson for a bit there
Thanks to Flygon, I'll never forget Basketball became an Olympic sport in 1936!
The loss of Bird was so truly horrific, that the game itself averted its eyes. Rest well, fallen comrades. And thank you Flygon for another wonderful video!
I love how the naming theme for the normal type challenges is always just what they are
Fun fact. You can actually catch a Parrot already at the start of the game. There are 2 static encounters on top of your house that can be fought and captured right after Nemona gives you the pokeball tutorial.
How about a Trivialocke? At each milestone you have to answer a trivia question. You get it right, you're fine, get it wrong and you have to release an encounter.
They really hit us with the off screen death with staraptor bruh 😭
Man, SV is becoming my prefered game to HC Nuzlocke, after X/Y with level adjustement. They offer so much diversity in Pokémon, both old and new, and a lot of bosses and challenges to think about, it really is a fun version to play through.
Interesting how much people can differ, SV are actually my least fav to watch (apart from bd/sp)
If you can get through the devastating 45-minute intro to the game, it's good fun to play
I actually started my own normal type play through just last week, beat Larry while watching this one, using hisui mons too
Is there a way to play it sped up like with roms? That's the only way I can get through the painful slow pace of pokemon games.
Sv has unironically become probably my second favourite mainline Pokémon game, right behind gen 5's BW/2. If we get a BW/2 remake thats even partially open world like PLA or SV, gen 9 will officially be my favourite
Hey I got an idea for a another run in the future. A Gen 7 nuzlocke using only the Pokémon you get from the island scan. If not then a sequel to your nocturnal run by doing a diurnal run
I love the Island Scan idea. You can get some really cool pokemon in it such as Litwick or Ralts.
@@pixelrakurai plus all last starters are available
omg yess!!
on an unrelated note the fact that I can google translate @navy_new comment and all it does is get rid of an s
This is kinda a small thing, but I appreciate the effort you make to address each pokemon accurately to its gender. You're awesome!
Honestly that's one of my favourite things about FlygonHG! So many pokemon youtubers only ever use 'he'. It's a small thing, but addressing them appropriately makes them feel so much more real, rather than just tools being used. Pokemon is supposed to be about friendship and the bond between you and your pokemon, so the audience bonding more with the pokemon being used in a challenge makes us more invested, I think.
Although it's now made it harder for me to watch other pokemon youtubers bc I'm always thinking 'uh that pokemon is female' lmao
Correct name and gender, including non-binary their. I appreciate it, too.
@@Religion0 non-binary isn’t real. In this game you have genderless pokemon like beldum, which are machines.
Yeah, most poketubers just call all the trainers and pokemon "he" or "it" but it's really refreshing to hear something else.
completely agree. it always really bothers me when people just default to he/him for any pokemon. like yeah i know it might seem like a very small and insignificant thing for regular people, but its a big deal to my trans ass.
As a Squawkabilly enthusiast, i was glad to see Parrot grab the kill against Turos ace Iron Valiant after you said he'd fall off in the mid game 😉
I recently used Maushold in a run, and they were awesome! Here's hoping he gets some screen time here.
Nuzlocke Joe?!?!
He recently used Maushold in his initial play though so he probably didn’t want to use it again.
Wohhhhh my man nuzlocke Joe is here too
@@Bat_________man that’s me!
So unbelievably excited to see a Nuzlocke that actually uses my boy Slaking. Seems like often even when it's an encounter people keep it as a Vigoroth for Encore shenanigans
In emerald nuzlockes I keep it as a vigoroth because endure reversal is really fun and it's waaaay faster than Hariyama
It always makes me laugh when a completely random aside like the Trivia kidnapping bit happened, love these videos
Sadly Mr Gatlin is no longer teaching
I wonder why
I love how the tangents in this 'normal' video are absolutely unhinged and off the wall
It’s honestly nice to see a more sloppy nuzlocke every once in a while. It shows that even one of the best Nuzlockers can still make absolutely stupid mistakes, and that even those mistakes can be recovered from with the right plays. I feel like something I and many other Nuzlocke beginners struggle with is not quitting because a valuable encounter died because we assume it’ll be impossible without them and just reset, while simultaneously beating ourselves up about it because we feel we’re “not good enough”. So thank you for underestimating The Dirge™️. It taught us and yourself a valuable lesson.
Don't take this the wrong way, but I think that's just toxic mentality. How is anyone "not good enough" if you never even tried to complete the run and simply gave up?
A personal example, I used to be trash when I first started playing Pathfinder on PC because I knew nothing about the system, now I can beat WOTR on at least Core because I stuck with my runs, gradually discovering issues as I played (Yeah it took like 80+ hours, but still)
@@Altair1243WAR I feel like quitting because you feel like you're not good enough makes perfect sense? Obviously you can't get better by quitting, but it's not a strange way to feel
I liked how you called out Squawkabilly as good early on and useless in the mid-late game, and then deliver the final blow with it. That's good misdirection that's played really low-key. And congrats on overcoming Nemona's Skeledurge; that thing's a monster that fears nothing. It's already dead and the embodiment of fire -- what could frighten it?
love how the name theme is just really normal and mundane nicknames
And eagle cry
Fun fact: the sound that is usually associated with the Bald Eagle is actually from a Red-tailed hawk. Eagles sound like *CHIP CHIP CHIP*
In the Navy something we say is that you only have one integrity, so you should save it for later when you might really really need it.
Also chilan berry instead of sitrus killed bird 😭
It's a shame that stantler and ursaring couldn't evolve into their final forms. Was it needed? No, these games are not that difficult, but it would have been cool.
Also, I'd love to see another loserlocke: the one you did in Emerald is one of my favorite videos of yours so a loserlocke in either 4th or 5th gen would be amazing!
"These games are not that difficult" huh? Are you sure about that?
@@TheGodIvy I mean, fair. I haven't nuzlocked these games yet. I was just thinking in comparison to gen 5.
Null the Spinda is still GOAT in my heart.
@@TheGodIvy yeah these gens are designed for kids and much easier than earlier gens
I don't think Pokemon was ever NOT designed for kids lol. People talking out their butt. Now, you could make an argument that the emphasis has increased there at the expense of difficulty but that also seems almost a matter of course (even if I too dislike it)
Kudos to Parrot for being useful the whole game.
That's the second to last type down for S/V, I guess all that remains is someone to do Psychic-Only.
I've already done that mind you that it wasn't a nuzlocke and I don't have any footages to prove it to you but I did do a causal play through with only psychic types
A Sqwakabilly finishing the run is the last thing I would've expected.
"Only the Normies", The Nuzlocke.
The science teacher quotes were a piece of art. I love the creative bits you put in almost every single one of these.
My favorite being the narration of the infatuation standoff. I don't remember the exact nuzlocke, but it was amazing. Keep it up!
And with that he decided to become a normal gym leader to give Larry more joy.
He’s got a little too much love. To me he’s bland and boring.
I'd love to see a "Cool Moves Only" (or other contest type only) in any of the games that have Pokémon Contests. =)
Man, thank you for your videos. I’ve been sick all weekend and your dry humor is really cheering me up. I always look forward to watching when I see you in my feed.
"With the seismic power of thicc deer's dumptruck ass..." had me dying and I needed to pause 🤣
Honey wake up. Flygon HG posted today.
I did it just got up
There’s a lot of monolocke/challenge run possibilities in S/V. Nice to see someone exploring it and adding some additional difficulty as well. Fantastic video as always!
Always glad to see FlygonHG pop up on the main page, this run is gonna be real dang fun I can already tell.
If you're curious to try a new Nuzlocke idea, I have one: Why not try to beat a game using the Ace Pokemon of every Gym Leader? For example, in Platinum you could use Cranidos/Rampardos, Roserade, Mismagius, Lucario, Floatzel, Bastiodon, Froslass, and Electivire. It may be simple or hard depending on which region you go through, but I bet you could build a fun story around it. Maybe you're an up-and-coming Gym Trainer whose trying to make their own Gym, and unsure of which type to use.
Awesome video
First time ever hearing about the Competitive ability and seems useful
First time seeing Lingering Aroma in play too
been here since the start, best writing and editing yet! so cool to see you gain skill like that!!!
Love Wigglytuff being used! Literally underrated, but there are so many Normal Types, I'm going to have to try this challenge
Not really a monotype, but how about an hisuin nuzlocke through Scarlet/Violet. When you encounter the native variants of the Hisuin Pokemon trade it with a Hisuin Pokemon in home. Ergo: your Ursaring for a Ursaluna or your Stantler for a Weirdeer et cetera.
I was searching for a normal type ni Locke of this like 3 weeks ago, love it!
It's nice seeing a normal run after all these gimmicks
"I don't know what Dunsparce is based on and, be honest, neither do you!"
Joke's on you, I love snakes _and_ mythical/folkloric creatures! Dunsparce is a tsuchinoko, an absurdly rotund snake of Japanese folklore.🐍 Dunsparce learning Rollout is a reference to how the tsuchinoko is said to be able to roll away from danger by biting onto its tail like a thicc ouroboros and rolling away! Dunsparce's and Dudunsparce's tiny wings are also likely a reference to the tsuchinoko's ability to double jump. Tsuchinoko also apparently like alcohol and if you find one that talks they are noted to be chronic liars.
I'm in the middle of doing my own Normal-type only run of Violet (though not a hardcore nuzlocke), so this was a lot of fun to watch. Between this and the Ice-type one you did, it's made me glad that I didn't let Nemona have Fuecoco. xD
The script and bits that Flygon has in his more recent videos are INCREDIBLE! The bit with the teacher and the stabs at Larry during the E4 over his betrayal are well-crafted and gave awesome buildup. Flygon has gotten awesome at videomaking and comedy and it is awesome to see how far he's made it from his original emerald grass only run where he was so monotone and had very minimal "story" elements. Massive props!
Id just like to say that I’ve watched every video on this channel and your VODS channel and you got me into hardcore nuzlocking so I tried fire red as my first one and just beat the champion with just two deaths. It was so fun thank you Dr oneball 😁
Random segments like that trivia section are amazing
Been waiting for this one, lots of normal types in this game!
As a Jigglypuff fan since 1999 I love how Ball destroy the enemies. Even as a kid I knew that the Jigglypuff line will sometime be able to slay mighty dragons while still being the cutest Pokémon out there
And the addition of Screamtail just shows once more which power truly lays in the puff line
So true..
To me, intimidate cycling feels down the same vein as set up moves. Personally I wouldn’t have used it with this rule set, but it wasn’t explicitly said that there is no set up at all in battle, so there is no problem with it. Keep up the great work, the comedy and jokes were good, and the timing was funny.
Thank you for my daily dose of learning! Trivia night at the bar this week isn’t ready for me now
I’d love to see a bug type monolocke of BW2! Gen V introduced so many cool bug types, and you even get to use a Volcarona (my favorite Pokémon!)
Awesome as usual! I think that what these games really need to become hard is a rule "no tm moves in battle"
Random question-would you consider using Arceus evolutions in the future since most of them are pretty good and might be fun to use, now that we can transfer SV mons into Arceus to evolve them? Ursaluna would've been an absolute monster in this nuzlocke
Hate to break it to ya but not all the hisui evolutions made it to SV, though maybe they may be added once more dlc releases
@@SamuEL-73nuu.o.S they…did tho? I’m not sure what you’re referring to
The FlygonHG episode of all time. This is like a filler episode but its good filler. Just a classic HG run.
I will always love that Larry's staraptor in the 1st Larry fight literally only knows facade and aerial ace.
Those trivia sections were wild and taught me a lot about trivia
Challenge idea: mirror match challenge!
You can only use pokemon that match the type of the current boss. Water gym? Only water types. Giovanni fight? Only ground types.
In each route you can choose your encounter type, to avoid softlocks.
Have fun!
Mr HG, if you see this, please reply so I can stop spamming this each video ❤
"With the seismic power of Thick Deer's dumptruck ass" is a phrase I didn't think I'd hear before.
Fun Fact: You can actually catch Squakabilly on your house in the beginning if you aim your pokeball just right to hit the Squakabilly on the roof of the house. I did it in my Fuecoco playthrough and got myself onto the roof to get the TM up there as well as the pokemon. Nice video though. I love normal types though and they are my favorite type. Normal types, in my opinion, have the most versatility in the moves that they can get. Great challenge video and I can't wait for the next one. Please keep up the great work.
Edit: I also think that a mono-dark nuzlocke in Scarlet and Violet would be interesting.
I was convinced the trivia section was pivoting to an ad, but was shocked when it never came. Hooray for non-sequiturs!
I watch one of your videos every day to learn how to do hardcore nuzlockes. One day I’ll give it a try! Haha 😅
Between the top tier comedy and perfectly placed Taylor Swift lyrics, Flygon has definitely reached the number 1 spot on my list of creators 😂
Flygon you've inspired me to try a nuzlocke! I'm doing SoulSilver using all ✨gurls✨ even being able to get pretty much any mon, it's haaard!
What we learned apart from this vid from the wonderful tips of Mr gatlin:
1)don't count natural weather in these games.
2)apparently even ending on a death by recoil moves fricks these games up.
Let’s get it FlygonHG 🔥🔥💯 road trip + your videos = time travel
and i thought my weekend was gonna be boring, thanks bruv
Indeedee are based off of Roman guardian deities called lares, so idk man still works cause they have like so many roles that they aren’t very specified and do basically everything for a given region/household/religious sect.
I had no idea that litleos were so predominantly female. It’s so crazy because I just caught a shiny male within the last day, and I’m excited to have something that might be on the rare side in a shiny male Pyroar
I mean, that's whatevet fraction a shiny is vs like 11% of the entire species. That' more than "remotely"
hey man awesome video as always ! a nuzlocke/video idea : emerald kaizo or radical red or whichever rom hack you wanna play but with only dragons or pseudolegendaries would pay a pretty penny for that video
normal is one of my favorite types, really happy to see it get a run of its own here, thank you for the great work as always flygon, you rock!! sidenote, my brother is blind but he also listens to your videos because hes also a pokemon fan, and he likes you a lot! just thought id let you know :>
Flygon's videos are definitely very blind-friendly, one of my favorite parts of this channel for sure
It’s always a good day when I see a flygonHG Video!
*reaches the trivia section* god Flygon is so weird (affectionate)
Truly? Best nuzlocker on RUclips. I look forward to each and every one of your videos
The way Dr. Flygon didn’t know what a Squirrel is really makes me appreciate the regional mons we do not see everywhere in the real world.
Great video! I think you should do a horse only run next. I don't have any argument as to why. Just feels like what it is leading to.
The grass runs are my favourite they are super tough and require cool strategies i would love to see you do one in Scarlett and violet
I have to point out how amazing it is that you admit to bad plays instead of soft resetting to shove out content
Jesus Chris that trivia bit 😂 it wasn't funny but it was sure memorable which made it funny somehow 😂
Hey Flygon, I just came back home after being kidnapped by a trivia obsessed serial killer, and he asked me what year basketball became an Olympic sport. Thanks to this video, I wasn't shot in the leg, so thanks dude 🙏
Love it. Timeless names!
"the seismic power of thick deer's dumptruck ass" why is this the funniest and oddest flygon challenge ever lmao
That trivia bit was golden
Ive been waiting until after I finish Pokemon Violet to watch any gameplay videos of Violet/Scarlet so I could avoid spoilers. I just beat it less than five minutes ago and let me just say; I crapped so hard on this game but it's actually really good. I cried.
fantastic video as always, I had a fun suggestion for your next mono normal name theme run! maybe you could name them whatever "Pokemon" they are, like Meowth would be Scratch Cat or Oinkologne would be Hog. Just a thought, might be fun :)
Yeah! Another vid from the man HG! Lets a go!
I LOVE normal tyoes!! So many great mons
Im ashamed that it took me so long to realize why they were named Deer and Skinny deer
I’d love to see mono fighting next (because I ran a mono fighting team for my own casual playthrough and while I know mine wasn’t optimal I’m curious what would be closer.)
yesss! i did this too & i had an eviolite eevee w dragon tera that was my sweeper
This run really shows just how diverse normal types can be. Also that the mohawk bird isn't as awful as I thought.
Anyways, it's time for me to once again recommend returning to a No-Same Type Moves Nuzlocke. I'll just recommend B/W or Platinum again.
I know it’s a minor thing, but that pun “trulywudoo” was absolutely fantastic, I love your comedy even if your pronunciation of arcanine grinds my gears I still love your comedy
29:04 I like how they made the rival actually a really good trainer. instead of a rival that is always in your shadow, you have to get out of your rivals shadow as one of the best trainers in paldea. it makes it way more satisfying to beat her, rather then the rival in sword and shield where you crush his dreams.
@jasper7714 If you skip all the dialogue, you’re going to miss things. Nemona is already a Champion, and throughout the game, is deliberately using low-level Pokémon and going easy on the player to train them into someone who can challenge her at full power because she’s bored with winning all the time. She isn’t fighting at full strength until the end of the Victory Road storyline, by which point you’ve become a Champion yourself and are on equal footing with her.
The not knowing what a tsuchinoko is combined with the mispronunciation running gag... mwah. Such wonderful bait.
11:49 "Dragon Drop" is a great name for an energy drink, or a wresling move.
How about a dark-type run? Not only is one of the starters a legal option in the run, but I also think it could lead to be an interesting run!
Love the new nuzlocke! FlygonHG should nuzlocke pokemon sweet version next lol. It would be a pain in the ass to nuzlocke but it would pretty fun.
This video has been a blast 😂
Parrot really defying expectations and being useful in the last fight
I did this with sword and normal types are definitely underrated!
Let's go! Flygon hg upload
not sure if anyone mentioned it in the comments, but I'm pretty sure dunsparce is based on the tsuchinoko - a japanese myth about a fat snake that can talk, so pretty accurate!
@FlygonHG When I did my scarlet Nuzlocke my encounters were the closest Terra-den each time I entered a new route. I allowed terastalizing since it was mostly defensive and to use it offensively I had to get pretty lucky. It was a really fun way to play bringing a good amount of RNG back to this overworld game. I'd love to see a video of this, could be a good mix-up from a mono type locke.
Fun fact: there is a significant trainer (Gym leader, Team Star admin, Elite Four/Top Champion) that "specializes" in each of the 18 types. 8 Gym leaders, 5 Team Star camps, 5 Pokemon League trainers (Yes I know that Geeta doesn't really use a specific type but her ace Glimmora is the only type that doesn't have a specialist: rock.) Each of the Pokemon League trainers's type specialty coincides with the type of a Titan Pokémon (Klawf and Geeta, Bombirdier and Larry (😔), Orthworm and Poppy, Great Tusk/Iron Treads and Rika, and Tatsugiri and Hassel).
yeah i'm gonna list all the types and their corresponding trainer, what did you expect?
Normal: Larry (Gym Leader)
Fire: Mela (Team Star Camp)
Water: Kofu (Gym Leader)
Grass: Brassius (Gym Leader)
Electric: Iono (Gym Leader)
Ice: Grusha (Gym Leader)
Fighting: Eri (Team Star Camp)
Poison: Atticus (Team Star Camp)
Ground: Paradox Donphans (Titan Pokemon)
Flying: Bombirdier (Titan Pokemon)
Psychic: Tulip (Gym Leader)
Bug: Katy (Gym Leader)
Rock: Klawf (Titan Pokemon)
Ghost: Ryme (Titan Pokemon)
Dark: Giacamo (Team Star Camp)
Dragon: Tatsugiri (Titan Pokemon)
Steel: Orthworm (Titan Pokemon)
Fairy: Ortega (Team Star Camp)
what did that accomplish?
