CAN I BEAT A POKÉMON PLATINUM HARDCORE NUZLOCKE WITH ONLY FIGHTING TYPES!? (Pokémon Challenge)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 май 2021
- Welcome to another Pokemon challenge video! Pokemon Platinum with only Fighting types seemed like a really fun and challenging idea with very unique aspects, so here's my attempt. Platinum is definitely one of my Favorite Pokemon games, so let's do this!
We've done some hard Pokemon challenges in the past, but usually they were a solo Pokemon challenge run. What if we still did a really difficult challenge... but with a full team using hardcore nuzlocke rules, and with only one type? Today we find out: can I beat a Pokemon Platinum Hardcore Nuzlocke with only Fighting types?

Monotype Hardcore Nuzlocke Ruleset:
(1) If a Pokémon faints, it must be permanently boxed or released.
(2) Only the first type-specific Pokémon encountered in each Route/Area can be caught.
(3) No Legendaries/Mythicals, duplicates, or same-evolution-line Pokémon can be caught or used. If a duplicate is encountered, the next unique type-specific Pokémon encounter can be caught.
(4) Additional Pokémon may be caught for the purpose of HM use, but these may not be used in battle at any time during the run.
(5) No Items can be used in battle (Held Items are allowed).
(6) Party Pokémon levels are limited to the highest level Pokémon of the next Gym Leader or Elite 4 Member. So long as your Pokémon are at or below the level cap when the Gym Leader/Elite 4 Member battle starts, they can level up mid-battle.
(7) "Set" Battle Mode must be used at all times.
(8) No connecting with other games for the purposes of trading/importing Pokémon, Items, etc.

Happy Sunday everyone! Thanks so much for helping us reach 75k - the push to 100k starts now! We're currently doing a Pearl Normal-only run on Twitch on the weekends, and we're on the 4th attempt currently (this run's looking really promising!) Make sure to follow on Twitch so you don't miss out: www.twitch.tv/silphspectre
Damn it, man. I went and started my own monotype fighting run (gen 3 though) and I felt SO original. Now I'm just copying some cool RUclipsr guy :/
I'm doing the same thing lol
Shiny Hippodown from elite 4 doesn't sparkle when entering the battle, is that a glitch, or is just gen 4 colors of Hippodown?
You can grind for ralts since it's not a fighting type
How long until you and flygon hg have collectively done a nuzlocke for every type in every game
Since female Ralts can't evolve into Gallade, I think it would have been fine not to count them as legit encounters. Just in case a situation like that comes up in another challenge :D
It is possible to evolve it into a fighting type so it's a legit encounter
@@galladehq6996 well... its not though.
Its absolutely impossible for that ralts to become a fighting type.
So it shouldn't have counted
@@galladehq6996 considering your name is Gallade HQ, it’s kinda sad you don’t know that female ralts can’t become a Gallade in the future
@@illusionaryheart3325 if he found a male one, he could have gave it a EXP share and evolved it into kirlia and then used the dawn Stone
@@galladehq6996 Yeah, but he found a female one.
Which means it’s impossible for that ralts to become fighting type, which is the point of the comment.
people who do nuzlockes: finds shinys in 2 seconds
People who dont do nuzlockes: takes a year to find a single shiny
The weirdest thing is I had a massiveee shiny drought while ACTUALLY streaming shiny hunting at like 1/500 odds for like 6 months. Then we've found a shiny Teddiursa in Emerald Kaizo & this Buizel while just doing challenges, both at 1/8192! 😂
It is fairly common to randomly get shiny's if you do EV grinding, especially pre Gen 5, when you are a bit limited in how fast you can get them, and have to burn through a ton of battles for specific EV's.
I've gotten 2 shinies while nuzlocking recently, don't remember the last time I found a random encounter shiny in a normal play through.
me who doesn't do any of the challenges.
soul silver first time going after lugia "o look its red"
also me who plays random bootleg mobile version of pokemon gen 2

Timestap?
“I’m worried about another BAM and I shit my pants in front of Cynthia” that’s a very valid fear
always have lets be real
Lol
There's a whole subreddit dedicated to hating Mindy, the girl who trades you the Haunter with the everstone. I'm not at all surprised about this.
I was so mad as a kid when I found out. I had just moved away so I had no friends and the 1 time I thought I could get a gengar...Whatever dev designed that should get fired and given an everstone.
Low-key so triggered , I'm finding that subreddit. #deathtomindy
She even fucking taunts you after. "Oh, you thought it would evolve? Sucks to be you"
@@stevedhanpaul9482 It’s r/FuckMindy, for you or anyone else intrigued.
I legitimately didnt know that ever happened. I'm so upset about this. But I respect game freak for doing it lol
Comments are STILL good for the RUclips algorithm
And they always will be.
are they?
MDB reference?
Tn
It always is
Love the uncensored part. Whether intentional or not, was perfect for a Pokémon like this.
Wouldn’t the first “viable” Ralts for Gallade be the first male Ralts you found? Not just the first Ralts still?
Technically yes but since he found a female Ralts first, according to Nuzlocke rules, most Pokémon challenge runners often state the Duplicate Species Clause being in effect. That means whenever you encounter a Pokémon on any given route, whether you succeed or fail, you can't encounter the same Pokémon, or any member of its evolutionary line, as the initial encounter on another route. The same is true for Oddish, Snorunt and Wurmple and all of them have branched evolutions.
@@crazychristopher1989 I thought dups only happened with Pokémon you caught
@@johnmccarton4900
It does. However, in some cases, it can also happen whenever you fail to catch the initial encounter the first time.
I feel like this limitation was...lame?
@@crazychristopher1989 but that is not what he is playing he is playing to first fighting type evolution as the first valid encounter. The first encounter anywhere can't be a Pokémon that isn't fighting so there zero matches on that list.
That Heracross characteristic, "Likes to thrash about" has a very high (or near perfect) attack IV. Lucky you, man.
amog ngus
Garchomp saw the kill on medicham with all of its attaching moves, these means the ai will choose at random any of these moves, meaning that you had 25% chance she chose dragon rush and a 25% chance she would miss it aswell
so about a 6.25% chance he got this lucky? nani tf, my dude got so lucky and medicham became a messiah
That whole scene felt like the Seahawks pass against the patriots in the superbowl instead of running it with Marshawn Lynch
@@aerosiyo6111 add a 2.5% chance to that because there's a chance for a Giga Impact miss as well
I like how he doesn't censor when he finds he heracross lol
Haha I noticed that too and commented about it
was just thinking that lmao
That shiny Buizel may even have a 31 Sp. Def. IV according to its “somewhat vain” characteristic
You should show your previous attempts before your successful one, and also keep an attempt counter. It's good at illustrating difficulty and it's fun to not know whether or not youll succeed in any given battle
Maybe it would be a little long if he shows previous attempts but I agree with the attempt counter
@@cyanphoenix1249 Nah just show the cut until attempt fail. Skip footage to the battle that caused the white/reset and then continue from there, narrating any changes alongside screenshots etc :)
@@cyanphoenix1249 One of the few times he did that was his NORMAL type run in Sinnoh.
bird Jesus: *exists*
"amateur"
bird Jesus: "what"
prophet medicham:"amateur"
lmao
SilphSpecre: "Oh no! My whole team is weak to Psychic-types."
He says this while 2/4 of his Pokémon have a secondary type that beats Psychic and 1 of his Pokémon is literally a Psychic-type.
Only medicham resists psychic, heracross is weak to it and it is neutral against lucario
@@dragonboy4800 bug is supper effective though, so it would basically be whoever goes first wins, when using a bug move
@@aethstan2330 If only bug can resist psychic, it would finally be a decent type.
Bruh that would not be enough. I love Bug types but they need more super effective hits
@@othamneil8958 psychic isn’t even a great type anymore
A shiny Buizel in a Platinum challenge video? Smallant has entered the chat
No damage challenge
You mean a *diseased* Buizel, it’s very different.
12:40 lol he didn't bleep out "fncking" here like he usually seems to do.
Pog
prolly for comedic effect
Yeah that caught me off guard too. I paused the video and just thought "didn't he bleep a fnnck earlier?" Rewound and then laughed so hard
@@danielchristensen3657 never thought I'd see the day when "Pog" would be translated from another language
hahah I was looking for this comment. refreshing to hear ha
I laughed so hard when Cynthia’s Garchomp missed Dragon Rush😂
You know, I just realized you're still under 100k. Why. Your videos are incredible and you have a fantastic sense of humor. Take some algorithm my friend, and keep up the fantastic work!
Sinnoh fighting types are amazing
Infernape and medicham were the MVPs
"Holy sh*t, did we just solve gen 4?"😂 Great nuzlocke run! Very fun to watch😊 And close call at the end!!
That drill peck hit Mcgregor’s leg and broke it.

I just joined Twitch and you're actually the first channel I started following
I've been really enjoying these recent challenge videos. Not only you're great at planning battles, but something about your narration makes them so engaging and suspenseful! Great work, Silph!
Thanks so much my friend! Really happy to hear you're enjoying these 😄
I wish we could have seen Gallade but first time seeing Medicham in a play through and I loved it!
I actually found a full-odds shiny Medicham on my first time playing Platinum as a kid, love to see Prophet putting in the work
You know, Kirila and Machoke can be caught separately from Ralts and Machop.
species clause
@@karpholmes6942 but that doesn't apply to the ralts as he didn't get the ralts.
@@karpholmes6942 comment
@@Savariable Ralts > Kirlia > Gallade/Gardevoire
Species clause applies to encounters
@@Savariable The rule says that in nuzlocke runs, you only can get your first viable encounter, and if you got ralts, that's your first encounter, and you can't get Kirlia on the same route, although you can get it on different routes if that's your first encounter. The viable part of this rule is extremely arbitrary, and can be interpreted differently by different people, but hey, that's how he interprets it.
My interpretation for this rule is that female ralts aren't considered viable, since they can't evolve into a fighting type, but others would say catching ralts is illegal since it's technically only psychic, and you can only catch fighting types, so you would have to catch a gallade in the wild to use them, which is impossible. He chose a compromise between these two interpretation.
16:20 that’s actually an interesting theory one which I find very believable
I'm pretty sure hardcore nuzlocke rules don't ban you from doing trade evolutions if it is something you can do
Yes, but that haunter is notorious for holding an everstone and can't evolve into a gengar. So it'd be weaker than the medicham, and thus not worth it
@@caitlinobrien273 I think they are talking about Machoke
@@caitlinobrien273 Cyber was talking about machoke turning into machamp.
@@caitlinobrien273 it was a fighting only run g
@@pyruslynel2412 the machop didn't survive to become a machoke anyway
I found it so funny that you bleeped out your expletives until you found the heracross and the F bomb slipped lol. Love your vids and humor in them
I like how youtube reccomended you to me out of random and I just binged all of your nuzlocks lol
When you get a perfect pokemon with the perfect nature and perfect ability but sadly can't use it😥
And shiny
@@danielhirshfeld6004 yep
Dang. Medicham really carried 2 hardcore Nuzlockes. Respect.
First the ruby one, now this
Silph, I would just love to say that your videos are so enjoyable in the sense that it's so amazing to see all the strategies and how everything plays out, but you also just have such a great personality and the funny moments make it all so much better. Thank you for everything you do 😊

How poetic, ending the challenge with your starter alone on the team, great video!
Bruh
His starter is technically Machop tho
From what i've picked up watching poketubers the reason garchomp went for dragon rush is that the AI will always go for a KO if one of it's moves can do so. In this case both of it's moves must have been able to take infernape out so the AI apparently does not take into account accuracy and picked at random.
Wait, you named your shiny Buizel Goldeneye too?? Holy shit dude, small world xD
AYYYYYYYYYY, I FOUND ANOTHER ONE WHO DOES
@@ghostroblox2137 who was that
Amazing quality as always. Love seeing all of your Pokemon knowledge at work
Silph! I'm SO happy you're doing challenges my friend, your knowledge on the game and your commentary ability make these super fun to watch! I look forward to more of these!
Yes, it's great to see your nuzlocke. BTW Comments are good for the youtube algorithm
mdb?
U here too? Lmao dude we share the same interests
@@devildynamite7454 yeah
Sunday Challenge video's these are becoming highlight of the youtube week. Hearing Silph drop the 'F' bomb when getting a Heracross haha amazing. great work Silph keep it up.
Been watchin all of these recently and I gotta say they've been a blast.
21:28 My first play through of Platinum, I fell for this trade. I was deeply saddened....💔
I never even talk to anyone and I only catch cute pokemon anyways.. good for me ig
I love that hardcore nuzlockes are getting recognized more!
I love these Nuzloke runs so much! Great job. Next do Heartgold Water!
Dude awesome vids I’ve watched like 3 of the hardcore challenges in a row keep it up!
Hey I appreciate the support my friend! So glad you're enjoying the vids 😄
Man, this was heart-stopping. Mad props to you clearing this. Think you could do a Galar-based run next time? Don't care what you do for it. Just curious how your level cap rule would play out there.
Silph: "Hope I'll get at least one male Ralts to evolve it into Gallade."
Medicham: "Another Psychic-Fighting, huh? Well, LIKE HELL YOU'LL HAVE IT!" *proceeds to find two female Ralts*
Jealousy is a bad thing, kids, remember this. You may lose a nuzlocke encounter because of it.
That was an epic video Silph! Honestly though, I would have said you could keep rerolling for a male Ralts to be your encounter. It makes for a more interesting video for sure, but I think you can make an exception as it wouldn't evolve into a fighting type.
Oh my goodness! You really are the Fighting Champion!
Another amazing run, that medicham was nearly dead so many times
Next: Can you beat Pokemon Diamond with only Dark types. Love the vids as always Silph! Keep it up! :)
That impish nature on Infernape came in clutch against that Drapion
Another great video as always. Seriously love all your content. That AI in the game was actually crazy lucky, but maybe it was full odds goldeneye helping from the pc.
I've been in nuzlocke community for years and this is the first time I've heard that rules don't allow trade evolutions. I'm pretty sure that's self-imposed.
I’ve seen rules restricting to one copy of the game. Making trade evos technically illegal. Also if he is using an emulator without editing the evolution requirements it’s actually impossible to do trade evolutions to my knowledge.
To be fair, a lot of nuzlocke rules are self imposed. Lots of people chance the rules to add difficulty. Its nothing new
@@creepersans9257 there are only 3 iron clad, universal rules for a playthrough to be a nuzlocke.
1) can only catch first pokemon in each area only
2) if a pikemon faints, its dead and can't be used
3) pokemon must be given a nickname.
Any other rules other than those three are added at the players discretion, either to make things harder or more interesting. (A common clause is the species clause which means if you already have a certain pokemon, you can try again for something new)
This generation had the coolest fighting style Pokémon 💯
I like the way you do your commentary, the battles are kinda like watching a competitive Pokémon tournament
Jfc Prophet the Medicham is the mvp in this run. It's heartbreaking when it died but dang it lived through so much the whole run. Fantastic video Silph!
idk why but your videos always gets me on the edge of my seat XD
Another great video 👍🏽💯
Roark used Pursuit since it would go first and the AI knew it wouldn't survive a hit. That's not fact, it's my thoughts.
I also believe Cyrus swapped to Gyarados since it has Earthquake (it might have Fire Blast?) And it would be super effective against Lucario.
Your commentary is super funny and extremely entertaining
Way to go Silph!
your uploads are what i look forward to most each week especially since its quarantine. keep up the great work!
I just finished a Black 2 hardcore fighting monolocke! It helped me gain a great appreciation for how good fighting types are
Nice! What was your final team?
The final team was Mienshao, easily the run MVP, Lucario, Emboar, Sawk, Scrafty, and Heracross, though Lucario and Sawk were sacked in the champion fight
I actually started an attempt at this same challenge even before I knew this video existed, but I failed several times so now im here to renew my interest in beating it
Love these bro, keep up the great work
I honestly missed your Pokémon challenges my favorite is the kricketot
The failed run! I really wish it was possible somehow... maybe I'll look back at it on stream sometime!
@@SilphSpectre but it was entertaining and u did the best u could which was the best cause not everything is winnable. And ahhhh I got acknowledged
Use goldeneye in a different play through
Hell yeah brother, binge watching these now.
I just discovered your channel today and I was watching one of your videos earlier [the bug only in HeartGold] and I was thinking about doing this challenge in platinum with fighting types because fighting is my favorite typing. Then I found this video of yours and have decided to watch you play it to see how you do it.
Our boy Silph, finally back at it with regular content. Great job man
Ayy thanks Joseph! Appreciate the support :D
I love all your videos.
Although I’m missing the true power series.
He’s an idea for future videos .
Maybe do “silph vs silph series” like take all your mono type you use in these runs. And make a tournament out of them?
Like your true power series.
Hahahahaha. Barry and his dad (what was it? Palmer?) being related to Cynthia? That's a good one. We all know Barry woulda been bragging about it for sure.
Your sound effects in the swamp had me rolling! 😆
Dude, that Medicham though! It's been a beast during these challenges!
I was at the edge of my seat during that champion battle! Damn!
You motivated me to try a poison-only nuzlocke in HG, hope it'll go as well hah!
As for suggestions, maybe a heartgold nuzlocke, love seeing that game!
are you going to red?

@@michaeldavid1566 Yeah, I knew Scyther was trouble, but I was stupid -- I forgot toxic spikes don't affect flying type pokemon AND poison type pokemon, so my whole plan fell apart LOL.. that was pretty dumb LOL
@@SillyInsaneGamer competitive habits die hard
You should consider chimchar a fighting type just to speed up the process a bit its early in the vid it probably didnt affect u too much
That Barry/Palmer/Cynthia theory makes a whole lot of sense.
I've been binge watching these videos for days now and I finally figured it out, you sound like the voice from "How its made"
You keep calling your Riolu "him" even though your Riolu is female.
Fun Fact:if you play a pokemon game with a challange your shiny odds boosts to 1 in 1492
I love these vids and BTW subbed
OMG THAT DRAGON RUSHH! Also, I nearly cry when Hercules faint
Having to admit I'd be one of those "blackbelts" who only uses fighting types if pokemon were real. They are neat and I like them best, this is my ideal Nuzlocke
Are u gonna do any pokemon hacks? Like radical red cause that could be interesting also BTW great video
Definitely in the future! Wanna tackle some of the base games first for sure :D
One of my fav Pkmn RUclipsr.
Every video is so good man
12:41 "No fucking way" had me rolling 😂😂😂
Epicc , looking forward to the return of the true power tournament 🔥🔥
I always get hyped when i see this content drop :)
Ah yes the perfect thing to watch while having dinner thanks for the upload Silph 😃
Lake trio are now officially "deranged pixies." 😂
That's was crazy having to be short on Pokémon going into the Elite 4 and getting lucky with some poor IA choices. An exciting conclusion. Good job.
Just discovered your channel yesterday. Keep up the great videos
Really love these videos! ❤️
Amazing run dude! So clutch hahaha
These are always fun to watch
So Cynthia's AI saw a 1HKO with either move since it was stab with that power and neither was super effective. So it was a 50/50. You got lucky. Very nice
14:40.
Personally think shiny clause should supercede restriction (unless it's like PLA where shinies are far more common) because most of your runs limits you to 8-11 encounters. That and Trade evolution should be allowed (same as shiny clause and it's fun to watch)
Still enjoy the content and think you're doing awesome Silph!
The amount of luck with near deaths is insane! Well done
