Silph, I have an interesting idea on a nuzlocke... if you're willing to cheat on one of it's rules, but here's the catch... reset any encounter to it's beneficial nature of your liking, but all Pokemon in your party must have a self-destruct/ explosion in your move set leaving you only 3 viable moves(even if they can't learn it naturally but can via TM as well). Any gen with this particular plethora of encounters!
@@sirmoony5633I feel like they should bring it back since they give you access to Great/Ultra Balls, Super/Max Repels and other stuff you’d only get after the 7-8th badge
Just a note on Koga there, Haunter actually is a ridiculous hard counter to his team. Koga only has Normal and Poison moves which Haunter is immune to or quad-resists. You can just slowly wear Koga out, or give Haunter your Psychic TM to make the process faster. You even have Curse to get the jump on Muk before he minimizes too much And the best part is that you can guarantee Ghastly on the Pokemon Tower by using Repel to keep Cubone out, so literallly any FRLG Nuzlocke can make use of this. The Psychic TM is a bit of an investment but the premier uses of the TM learn it naturally at some point.
I actually enjoy seeing lost runs, no one puts them out with just makes us viewers feel like the runs are really easy, when they actually require a lot of knowledge and planning.
Yes!! Silph Nuzlocke challenge make Sundays so much fun!!! I'm currently doing a poison Nuzlocke in fire red so I'm sure we'll have some poke in common 😊
Definitely. Also, poison is my second favorite typing so good luck, ton of cool mons to use out there! I’m gearing up for a normal run in Kalos because of the number of cool mons they have. It’ll be my first ever nuzlocke so I’m excited
every time the subject of the Kanto dex locking out Crobat comes up, it always warms my heart to think about some Golbat lover playing through Gen II blind and learning Golbat has an evolution
Considering the fight on the SS Anne is the last time you see the Rival's Raticate, and the next time you fight the Rival is in Pokemon Tower, one can come to the conclusion that your Nidoking kicked that rat to death.
Building Gengar with ATK evs just to handle Psychics with it's ghost type attacks was a costly mistake. It might helped in the mid game, but the end game was more difficult due to Gengar missing some one-shots with Psychic Beedrill's Twin Needle should be the answer against opposing Psychics in mid game, it's death was preventable Should send in Beedrill early against Blue on a weakened Pidgeotto to deal with Kadabra and Execute later. The Kadabra danger on the SS Anne was a warning for the future, yet the same play was employed for the next fight at Pokemon Tower, finishing Pidgeotto with Arbok out again.....
Here's a life advice Silph, after finding one switch soft save and keep resetting till you find the second switch. Puzzle solved in 2 mins max :D Anyways thanks for the vids and keep up the gud work man.
@@PBK1977 well yeah obviously, but it doesn’t have a chance for a defense drop like silph said. notice in my comment i said it doesn’t have THAT secondary effect, never said it doesn’t have one at all.
FYI when going against wheezing you mentioned you were hoping for the defense drop with brick break. But that would be rock smash that lowers defense. Brick break removes barrier and light screen
So happy to see Arboc brought to the E4. I wish it’d get an evolution, ice and poison type - designed to look like a warbat from the hollow earth. I just want to say, Dude your videos are getting better and better. Your jump to Google then Pokémon db had me in stitches. I’ve since learnt not to eat dinner whilst watching your stuff 😅
Could've saved yourself the Beedrill death and been in a much better spot against the Gyarados if you had used the Beedrill to counter his psychic types.
I just started watching you this week and oh man you were 1 attack away from winning 😭 I can’t believe he went for hyper beam!!!! You’ll win it next time, great video!
I've been binge watching all of your videos recently, and this notification brought me so much joy. I love your hardcore nuzlocke runs so much, thank you for this incredible content !
I know I can’t expect it every Sunday, but a little part of me dies when a new Silph video doesn’t pop up, so sometimes I have to go back and rewatch some other nuzlockes to scratch the itch. But I always feel revived when a new video pops up. Keep up the great content!
OK at the end of the video, and it was up against the Gyarados. He was saying a lot of words, and he was actually hitting the tone of the guy who did the voice over for Ralphie parker from a Christmas story. It was eerie how similar it was.
Recently beat this challenge and my final team was Venusaur, Nidoking, Venomoth, Tentacruel, Gengar and Muk. For everyone else doing a poison monolocke on this game I recommend having Toxic and Leech Seed on Venusaur, and teaching Haunter/Gengar Psychic and Thundebolt. This was my first monolocke and I had alotta fun with it, looking forward to do more
Tried something new this time! I manually deleted them after Lance because as per hardcore nuzlocke rules, they died and wished for our Hall of Fame team to reflect only our surviving 'Champion team' mons (alas, we didn't make it there in the end after all 😂)
Not to be weird but Gengar was level 70 at the end of lance and you had 6 mons in your party, and then you went into Gary fight with 4 pokemon and Gengar was level 72. Did you wipe and then rechallenge and make it to Gary with the 4 remaining mons in your party?
I always suspect that he rechallenges fights in other videos so I would say definitely yes. He always talks about situations with his luck being "bad" but he gets crazy good luck in the footage that he does show, likely because we only see the battles with good rng. His knowledge of the game and planning aren't as good as others who do hardcore nuzlockes like FlygonHG so maybe he's just trying to keep up in terms of entertainment
The level on Gengar can be justified with the use of candies... but the 4 pokemon on his team??? You can clearly see 2 slots of pokeballs empty on his side when before we all saw in Lance's battle that there was 6 balls there I'd be genuinely hurt, if he rematches an that stuff so he lied to us, because I really liked seeing his videos... Honestly I'm hoping for it to be some kind of glitch 😢
I like that you did this video I just finished my own poison type run on fire red a couple days ago since it’s my first game I ever played and it’s my favorite typing my ace was Gengar which is also my favorite Pokémon
just beat my dirst nuzlocke ligitmitly (no rare candy revives). ending team was Magnus the Starmie Vulcan the Charzard Rogal Dorn the Hitmonlee Ogren thr Snorlax Alpherius the Jolteon and Malkidor the Gyarados if you know the naming convention your a legend

Why did the Weezing get kicked out of his friend group? Because he was being too toxic!
i started playing raid thanks to your ads and get the defensive elf from your starter pack and it's pretty fun so far
So close bro, but you played very well on all poison types, if you just got a leech seed on gyrados, you most likely would've won the league
Hey Silph, why was the elite four such a higher level cap? Was this a rom hack?
Silph, I have an interesting idea on a nuzlocke... if you're willing to cheat on one of it's rules, but here's the catch... reset any encounter to it's beneficial nature of your liking, but all Pokemon in your party must have a self-destruct/ explosion in your move set leaving you only 3 viable moves(even if they can't learn it naturally but can via TM as well). Any gen with this particular plethora of encounters!
Quick note: Brick Break doesn't lower defence, unlike Rock Smash. It rather breaks Reflect and Light Screen.
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ Everyone knows that you fool
Well technically it does but only when it breaks the active screen.
Of course the Game Corner isn't forgottem about despite not being made anymore Gen 5 onwards. Eevn I know what the Game Corner is! LMAO
Mdr frérot on doit être les 2 seuls français à regarder ces vidéos

like Silph doesn't know this...
@@benwarped7272 If he did, he would have done it. Silph doesn't throw for content.
And even if he did, not all of y'all do.
The psychic TM is free when you get to Celadon cause you can get the tea and open up the gate to Saffron
Investment? You get it for free
Investment, as in you only get one psychic tm in a playthrough. Jeez, some of the commenters know literally nothing about nuzlockes
I'm doing this same exact run. If you put thief on your beedrill you could get tons of oran berries from Jigglypuff on that 1st route after Brock.
13:31 - Nidoking vs. Raticate on the S.S. Anne...if you've seen Pedro Araujo's Pokemon Red animation, you probably got flashbacks like I did.... 😱
i saw it dude
I actually enjoy seeing lost runs, no one puts them out with just makes us viewers feel like the runs are really easy, when they actually require a lot of knowledge and planning.
Yes!! Silph Nuzlocke challenge make Sundays so much fun!!! I'm currently doing a poison Nuzlocke in fire red so I'm sure we'll have some poke in common 😊

@@joeyteter9383 Good luck with that!!! Super exciting! 🥳🔥
Silph Spectre Sunday! Can't wait to check this one out, poison type was always more difficult to succeed with imo
Gary's rematch team is bonkers. Hardcore nuzlocke with any type would've been tricky. Love the idea of rematch runs!
It took me a second but I realised that he’s going for the band Poison as his theme: Rikki Rockets, CC DeVILLE, Bret Michaels and Bobby Dall🤘
“kept on hitting brick break hoping for the defense drop” you’d be waiting a long time for that my friend 😂
24:15 Brick break doesnt decrease defense lol
I feel like naming the Bulbasaur Pamela (Poison Ivy) was a missed opportunity 😅😂
As much as the new gen nuzlockes, old gen is so fun to watch given the challenges of not having as much to work with. Really fun video to watch
It’s nice to see a Fire Red one again. I feel like it’s been ages.
every time the subject of the Kanto dex locking out Crobat comes up, it always warms my heart to think about some Golbat lover playing through Gen II blind and learning Golbat has an evolution
Always wanna see more nuzlockes with post game and e4 rematches
Shirley was my grandmothers name, she loved the way bulbasaur looked.
Considering the fight on the SS Anne is the last time you see the Rival's Raticate, and the next time you fight the Rival is in Pokemon Tower, one can come to the conclusion that your Nidoking kicked that rat to death.
Dude can’t wait for you to do another FireRed/LeafGreen rematched elite four, that was insane!
I literally did this exact one just a couple months back! Was my first nuzlocke ever. Love these videos!
Funny enough this was my first, too. I heard about monolockes and being there were so many poison types of varying strengths, UT just made sense
@@phoenixhorn-nc7tk Poison is my favorite type personally. Final team ended up being Venusaur, Weezing, Muk, Venomoth, Nidoking, and Tentacruel
@GravyGame I think mine was fairly similar but I DEFINITELY had gengar. And I love poison types too. They have some of the coolest mons
As a guy named Eric, I got a lotta love in this run. Also, given Charizard is my favourite Pokémon, the amount of interactions we had is also fun.
24:14 Brick Break can't lower Defence. Its secondary effect is to break walls (Light Screen and Reflect).
Yes, someone already stated that no need to try to be a smug dick.
@@Goro_Maj1ma You're the one answering aggressively to a 10 months old comment.
Building Gengar with ATK evs just to handle Psychics with it's ghost type attacks was a costly mistake. It might helped in the mid game, but the end game was more difficult due to Gengar missing some one-shots with Psychic
Beedrill's Twin Needle should be the answer against opposing Psychics in mid game, it's death was preventable
Should send in Beedrill early against Blue on a weakened Pidgeotto to deal with Kadabra and Execute later. The Kadabra danger on the SS Anne was a warning for the future, yet the same play was employed for the next fight at Pokemon Tower, finishing Pidgeotto with Arbok out again.....

Slowbro staring at his trainer like "I CANT LEARN IT TF YA MEAN"
Pretty nice run! I remember doing a mono poison nuzlocke in Emerald, was defo a lot harder due to the limited encounters.
24:10 hoping for the defense drops...
Keep hoping bud, keep hoping.
was looking for this comment lol surely he knows brick break doesn’t have that secondary effect and it was just an error but funny regardless
@@colevitiritto8976 it does have a secondary effect, it breaks Reflect and Light Screen
@@PBK1977 well yeah obviously, but it doesn’t have a chance for a defense drop like silph said. notice in my comment i said it doesn’t have THAT secondary effect, never said it doesn’t have one at all.
5:21 Riki for heropon 🤣. Not a perfect fit, but playing Xenoblade, so I have that Riki on the mind 🤣.
FYI when going against wheezing you mentioned you were hoping for the defense drop with brick break. But that would be rock smash that lowers defense. Brick break removes barrier and light screen
glad someone else noticed
Don't ever call PETA unless you want that Slowpoke to be put down!
This was my first monotype challenge I ever did
Yeah ! Poison ! Please do more of this type !
For future reference SilphSpectre, the optional blue battle only triggers if you go north of the grass. It’s still safe to go in the grass
That tackle against that marowak at 1 hp was risky af lmao I’ve missed too many tackles in gen 3 to risk using it during a nuzlocke lmao
Did this challenge months ago, and was sooooo lucky to get a Shiny Bulbasaur
So happy to see Arboc brought to the E4. I wish it’d get an evolution, ice and poison type - designed to look like a warbat from the hollow earth. I just want to say, Dude your videos are getting better and better. Your jump to Google then Pokémon db had me in stitches. I’ve since learnt not to eat dinner whilst watching your stuff 😅
Could've saved yourself the Beedrill death and been in a much better spot against the Gyarados if you had used the Beedrill to counter his psychic types.
Picks up great Moves like Aerial Ace and Brick Break. Continues to use Wing Attack and Double kick (for Giovanni at least)??
I live my Nuzlocke dreams through you Silph! Keep up the great videos
Hell yeah, Silph upload. I’m doing a Renegade Platinum Nuzlocke with my girl while our son is asleep, wish me luck everyone
So you can ride a Horsea with surf but a Golbat can't fly you around? Suuuuuuure gamefreak
I just started watching you this week and oh man you were 1 attack away from winning 😭 I can’t believe he went for hyper beam!!!! You’ll win it next time, great video!
"Someone call PETA!"
*PETA euthanizes slowbro* the good guys win again
Venomoth would have been very useful against Koga and you get it right before the gym. It's practically a psychic type.
Silph: revenge KO with the shadow ball
Richie: used PSYCHIC
I've been binge watching all of your videos recently, and this notification brought me so much joy. I love your hardcore nuzlocke runs so much, thank you for this incredible content !
Thank you so much Lenka, that means a lot! So glad you've been enjoying them 😄
You absolutely threw that one Silph! I’m mad you didn’t go for the win with giga drain over leach seed. Smfh you had that one in your hands my guy
I don't care how old it is! The first 5 generations of Pokemon are still very fun to me! WOOOOOOOOOO!!!
I know I can’t expect it every Sunday, but a little part of me dies when a new Silph video doesn’t pop up, so sometimes I have to go back and rewatch some other nuzlockes to scratch the itch. But I always feel revived when a new video pops up. Keep up the great content!
Thanks for expanding your vocabulary and refraining from saying “but” every minute
OK at the end of the video, and it was up against the Gyarados. He was saying a lot of words, and he was actually hitting the tone of the guy who did the voice over for Ralphie parker from a Christmas story. It was eerie how similar it was.
The hyperbeam at the end was the perfect anime ending.
Wow I’ve never even seen Arbok’s back sprite. Thanx Silph!
Recently beat this challenge and my final team was Venusaur, Nidoking, Venomoth, Tentacruel, Gengar and Muk. For everyone else doing a poison monolocke on this game I recommend having Toxic and Leech Seed on Venusaur, and teaching Haunter/Gengar Psychic and Thundebolt. This was my first monolocke and I had alotta fun with it, looking forward to do more
At 38:00 versus lance you have 6 pokemon in your party. At 40:10 versus the champion you have 4 pokemon in your party. How and why?
Tried something new this time! I manually deleted them after Lance because as per hardcore nuzlocke rules, they died and wished for our Hall of Fame team to reflect only our surviving 'Champion team' mons (alas, we didn't make it there in the end after all 😂)
@@SilphSpectre gotcha, just making sure there was no funny business. Cheers!
Poison runs are always my favorite runs. Especially in Kanto.
Having explosion as the first move on Matt was a bold choice
Commenting before the start of the challenge. With team members like Venusaur, Nidoking and Tentacruel, this should be an easy challenge.
I rated how kind the Pokémon community was in this vid Randy!❤
Why does EVERYTHING have earthquake 😂
You were hoping for defense drops from Brick Break? Uh dude that's NOT it's effect, It breaks Reflect and/or Light Screen .
Not to be weird but Gengar was level 70 at the end of lance and you had 6 mons in your party, and then you went into Gary fight with 4 pokemon and Gengar was level 72. Did you wipe and then rechallenge and make it to Gary with the 4 remaining mons in your party?
Most likely, i was asking myself that same thing. It was really weird seeing him enter the final fight with only 4 pokemon
I always suspect that he rechallenges fights in other videos so I would say definitely yes. He always talks about situations with his luck being "bad" but he gets crazy good luck in the footage that he does show, likely because we only see the battles with good rng. His knowledge of the game and planning aren't as good as others who do hardcore nuzlockes like FlygonHG so maybe he's just trying to keep up in terms of entertainment
Rare candies probably.
The level on Gengar can be justified with the use of candies... but the 4 pokemon on his team???
You can clearly see 2 slots of pokeballs empty on his side when before we all saw in Lance's battle that there was 6 balls there
I'd be genuinely hurt, if he rematches an that stuff so he lied to us, because I really liked seeing his videos... Honestly I'm hoping for it to be some kind of glitch 😢
Flying types are not subject to arena trap so diglett cave is safe with zubat
This was a really good one. I was on the edge of my seat for those last battles. Def should do more E4 rematch teams challenges in the future.
“Surely you must be joking?!” “I’m completely serious, and don’t call me Shirley”
it'd be cool if you ranked each run in terms of difficulty and fun it was to play, another great vid silph
You think Silph ever realized he gave his Weezing and his Venonat the same name?
Naming pattern: Male names are from members of the band Poison! I love Poison! (The Pokemon type and the band)
10:54
You know... you could get a Female Nidoran from trade, right? So, you wouldn't lose a Nidoqueen.
slept in, Silph posted- good Sunday
Fighting the rematch elite 4 was pretty hype 👌
Happy weekend is happy
Something i always do on cerulean rival fight when possible, leech seed the abra so your mon (nidoking) ends up full hp
Love the poison types! Lets go
Some type+game combos arent necessarily the hardest, but theyre my favorites!
Poison in kanto, grass in hoenn, and ground in sinnoh to name a few
😂😂😂 I lost it with the mouse scroll with the slowbro
Did he name a Venonat and his Koffing Matt?
Shirley, you can't be serious?
I like that you did this video I just finished my own poison type run on fire red a couple days ago since it’s my first game I ever played and it’s my favorite typing my ace was Gengar which is also my favorite Pokémon
Ayy I just posted this exact challenge like a week ago haha it was such a fun one. Poison types are surprisingly awesome 🎉
Wanted to watch a Fire Red rom hack. Instantly saw you posting this
yet again a Silph and antler video on the same day, i can't be more happy
Poison used to be my favourite typing as a kid. To this day, I don't know why.
Waking up that snorlax with only the dankest of melodies lmfao
CAN YOU PLEASE DO MORE COMPLETE PLAY THROUGHS! Like the gold, red and blue ones
13:30
That's not a one or two hit KO.
*That's a KILL.*
IYKYK
Sunday and a new Challenge from Silph? Let's go 😁
a nuzlock featuring my favorite type of pokemon? I'm in
I really like the use of the light switch when saying you were playing on set mode 😂
Ok the Guard Spec part sent me 🤣
The universe decides to despise Silph at the end of this video. 😂
Getting my Silphy Sunday a day late, but I loved every moment of it. Love FRLG runs.. this was amazing
I’ve done this one myself! It was a really fun run, but it was easier than I thought it would be. Tentacruel and gengar are too good.
just beat my dirst nuzlocke ligitmitly (no rare candy revives). ending team was
Magnus the Starmie
Vulcan the Charzard
Rogal Dorn the Hitmonlee
Ogren thr Snorlax
Alpherius the Jolteon
and Malkidor the Gyarados
if you know the naming convention your a legend
39:37 hooooo boy
Sojiro Sakura, is that you
Just IMO. I think the safari zone should be an exception to the only your fist encounter rule. If the Pokémon flees, and there's nothing you can do about it, I don't think that should count since you have no control over it
Did this run once long ago such a happy memory plus the options available impressed me and amongst my favourites
21:25 I can't believe someone made a Future reference
can we get an ORAS hardcore nuzlocke?!
