  • Is it possible to beat a Hardcore Nuzlocke using only Pokemon species with names beginning with the letter D? Let's find out! This is the fourth "Letter-Locke" I've tried, after playing Nuzlockes with only A, B, and C Pokemon.
    If you enjoy this type of Nuzlocke content, it would be awesome if you liked the video and subscribed! I'll be working my way through the Alphabet, so don't miss out!
    The Hardcore Nuzlocke rules for this challenge:
    1. Only catch the first Pokemon on each route, as long as the species name begins with "D" or evolves into one starting with "D". Re-roll on non-"D" and duplicates.
    2. If a Pokemon faints, it must be released.
    3. No overleveling above the gym leader's highest level
    4. No items in battle.
    5. Play on Set Mode.
    6. No evolving a Pokemon if no further evolutions begin with D (e.g., I can use Oshawott and Dewott, but not Samurott)

    Thanks to everybody for watching this Letterlocke! It was a unique challenge to Nuzlocke with so many un-evolved Pokemon!
    I'm going to keep working through the Alphabet, so Only "E" Pokemon will be next. If you have recommendations for other content you'd like to see, let me know below this comment!

    The nice thing about this type of challenge is having an actual unique team that is hard for the viewer to predict.
    Definitely like it better than “Emerald mono water type” and “Fire Red mono flying type” which are predictable challenges where everyone ends up using the same pokemon.

    Nuzlockes for Pokémon Black and White are definitely some of the hardest. The number of one-hit KOs I've had to deal with are insane. Literally have had five Pokémon killed by wild Pokémon at their level with no super effective moves taken down from full health. Like, a level 16 Darumaka one-hit KOed my level 17 Sandile with the move fire fang. How. It wasn't even a crit. It literally just killed it like it was a normal move. I literally haven't had a Pokémon make it out of its route without dying to other Pokémon in the same route for maybe 3/7 encounters, from full health. The RNG of move damage in this game is absolutely fucked. 90% of my deaths have come from random non-super effective Pokémon 1HKO-ing them for absolutely no reason at all. Half the time they're wild Pokémon doing it.
