Silph could you please do a final segment where you decide which Pokémon was the MVP of the run? I think it would be really cool to hear your opinions and who you thought really carried the team the most, most of all i love your videos! they’ve gotten me to start nuzlocking myself, and truly making play throughs amazing for me again 🙏🏻 (you wanted me to remind you 😂😂)
An overview would be awesome I would enjoy an MVP, LVP(least valuable Pokemon), and maybe an award for best support mon, an award show would be kinda fun
Yeah, Game Freak can be pretty cheeky like that. I think it's in Soul Silver you can battle a very lovey-dovey couple that have an Onix and a Cloyster in their team... Coincidence?
Fun fact, there was a tournament with all of the gym leaders, rivals, main antagonists, and champions. There was something over 1000 trainers in it and Viola made it towards the top 8 and Roxanne got second to Cynthia who beat Steven Stone to 3rd. So yeah, it’s surprising but bug types have started to really start to get good.
Benji the Beedrill with the absolute movie-worthy victory! Been waiting this whole damn run for his time to shine after having been the first Pokemon you evolved and taking a backseat to everyone else, then clutches out wins on the final two trainers for the successful run. What a legend!
You could've got a Durant on the route you mentioned the shuckle on and then tried for shuckle or ariados in both Terminus Cave and Victory Road; essentially guaranteeing an extra encounter.
6:55 I personally make an addendum to my runs that if I get a Pokemon that only evolves as a certain gender (Combee, Salazzle, etc), I can reroll it until I get one that's able to evolve. Getting an encounter that's only good 1/8 of the time just isn't fun
Nice run! It sometimes feels like Bug didn't come into its own as a type until Gen 7 (but is still pretty weak) so anything before then is an even bigger accomplishment.
Love the bug type, it is very underrated Also rewatching this: the Pokémon are nearly named after my family. George, Mary my sister, Victoria my mum. Just needed Jonathan and Katie 😂
From since Gen 1 there’s been a bug type with effectively 500 base stat total Gen 1 scyther and pinsir gen 2 heracross and Scizor Gen 3 ninjask (only 456 I think but very good in competitive with baton pass, speed boost, substitute and swords dance) Gen 4 yanmega, Gen 5 exploded with bugs with genesect and volcarona and other strong bugs like crustle with shell smash and scolipede with speed boost….
I think introducing an "evo clause" could be a good idea. "If an encounter cannot evolve, you may reroll until you get a version of it that can" Basically. If you get a combee as an encounter, and it's male, you can reroll until you get a female combee. I see a lot of big runs but almost none of them use vespiqueen so I think it would be neat to see some less used Pokemon be used.
Love your videos Silph! Question: are you ever going to do True Power videos again? And are you going to do the gym leader/elite 4 tournaments again? Those are what introduced me to your channel! Even still, love the channel.
Please do a monolocke in Pokémon XD it being all double battles would open so many opportunities If you’re wondering the viable types for this run are (from easiest to hardest): Normal Water Psychic Ground Fire Dark Electric Bug
23:35 Actually the currency in Pokemon is based on the yen which as of writing this is 134 yen per 1 US Dollar. So that 16,000 price tag is a lot more reasonable at about 121$
28:45 I for one, would have liked to see this capture… Can’t remember if one ever gets the Masterball by now or later (& not mention of getting one already) so… Wondering about the strat and luck on getting it without a mon loss.. As I know it’s a tough one… Strong flying move and a strong dark move… I think the flying one having the addition of ‘life gain’…?
Bug run! With a possible nincada! I did a monotype run if this game and it was HARD. Especially since i got the wrong version so I didnt have Heracross
Bug Pokémon were originally meant to help trainers out in the early game since they evolve so quickly…. You get a fully evolved Pokémon at level 10 but they give them middle evolution base stats… the movepools are also real life bug interactions like the powder moves to cause status….

Can u please do Pokémon black with only white Pokémon
What about Fairy types in Pokémon Brilliant diamond?
Can you play Pokémon X on ninetendo oled
Don't you just love the bug/steel wormadam, it's proven itself to be a real MVP in these kinds of runs
😮😮😮😮 43:38 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
I love it when silph describes the entire attack like "S.T.A.B super effective, black belt boosted, 120 power close combat!"
It’s like an announcer adding extra flare haha
If merchandise happens, I want shirts with attacks like this
UNREAL
I wanted to write the same thing

Yes!! Return of the MVP picks!
Awesome
Agreed!!!!
An overview would be awesome I would enjoy an MVP, LVP(least valuable Pokemon), and maybe an award for best support mon, an award show would be kinda fun
I don't know that means, as I'm new, but you can tell for yourself.....
Still can't get over the waiter giving you the protect tm right after shauna says that, seems a little TOO intentional😭😭
Yeah, Game Freak can be pretty cheeky like that. I think it's in Soul Silver you can battle a very lovey-dovey couple that have an Onix and a Cloyster in their team... Coincidence?
@@curiousdave When the randomizer says Bro and Sis 😳
Silph in the Malva fight: Phew, no crit!
George with Shell Armor: Am I a joke to you
Bro the random bits of comedy are so gold, it’s the little things that make watching these runs enjoyable lmao
You mean comedy like repeating the same p*rnhub intro joke over and over again?
Fun fact, there was a tournament with all of the gym leaders, rivals, main antagonists, and champions. There was something over 1000 trainers in it and Viola made it towards the top 8 and Roxanne got second to Cynthia who beat Steven Stone to 3rd.

Benji the Beedrill with the absolute movie-worthy victory! Been waiting this whole damn run for his time to shine after having been the first Pokemon you evolved and taking a backseat to everyone else, then clutches out wins on the final two trainers for the successful run. What a legend!
Yes!!!! Sundays with Silph's Nuzlockes are the best!! makes working on Sunday a walk in the park 😊
Is no one going to mention how unbelievable that transition from the cornhub intro to the gym was
Not his first Homage ^^, lets hope not the last.
You could've got a Durant on the route you mentioned the shuckle on and then tried for shuckle or ariados in both Terminus Cave and Victory Road; essentially guaranteeing an extra encounter.
I really appreciate that you show the Pokemon's nature. It's important in Nuzlockes.
Great content, Silph.
42:40 I feel like *Beedrill was the VIP* in this run, personally. After watching it all.
6:55 I personally make an addendum to my runs that if I get a Pokemon that only evolves as a certain gender (Combee, Salazzle, etc), I can reroll it until I get one that's able to evolve. Getting an encounter that's only good 1/8 of the time just isn't fun
And that's ultimately what it boils down to: Fun. I think I might follow suit with this in future runs, personally
Man George and Vicrtoria were absolutely required for this run to have been possible. Crustle and Heracross for the win!
9:44 when I think of milotic, I think of Wallace a lot more than Cynthia
I did a Buglocke of Y a few months ago
Ya got no idea how happy this vid made me 🤩
Calling Skorupi 'Asshole' was such a nice touch. Hahaha. Love your content, Silph! This is such a wonderful run!
Sliph the answer is what ever the hex maniacs are on. 😅(26:28)
Always love seeing a Crustle put in work!
Missed opportunity to nickname yourself "Bug daddy"
Sir, that joke about your "biggest fan" warrants a 10-minute sentence in pun jail.
Ahh… a new silph video, under a warm blanket, eating Mac and cheese, with a glass of chocolate milk while a fire crackles nearby. Bliss.
The exp. Share joke got me good 😂
The stuck guy got me, was not expecting that one XD
15:44 For those of you who don't know, Fairy resists Bug.
20:05 Those are scissors.
Nice run! It sometimes feels like Bug didn't come into its own as a type until Gen 7 (but is still pretty weak) so anything before then is an even bigger accomplishment.
Yeah, by Gen 9, you can definitely make an all-bug team pretty scary.
Bug became cracked in like gen 5. Crustle, Scolipede, Volcarona, Accelgor, Excavlier, Leavanny..
😂 the fist of the north star corphish clip had me dead
2:05 chespin is actually a good Pokemon it's not useable in this run but Chesnaught is an insanely good Pokemon
Benjamin won those final battles for his counterpart friend Molly, to win this run for her, making sure she didn’t die in vain.
For real, Scarlet and Violet missed out on giving us our first ever Bug-type starter.
Love the bug type, it is very underrated
Also rewatching this: the Pokémon are nearly named after my family. George, Mary my sister, Victoria my mum. Just needed Jonathan and Katie 😂
"Up ahead in the Pokeball factory, we can pick up an item that is going to be of pivotal importance later on.... A Pokeball"
Not naming durant Kevin is such missed opportunity
25:34 Calcium comes from bones, moving a bunch of snow in the mountains, Silph you dug up a body
definitely wouldn't have been able to pull this off with bug types, myself. Thoroughly impressed.
The edits in this were top tier 😂
Your nature luck is so funny 😂,timid heracross omg
"IF I HAD ONE!!" 🤣😂😂😂
The "NANI?!" edit was so clean
So no head? These edits are so clutch
"so I lost then? "Yes tf you did. 😤" Lol
Just realized music was playing when you started using Shedinja. Bops! "OOOHHH, BROTHER - THIS GUY STINKS!!!"
Forgot Benjamin existed lol... SCIZZOR!!!!!
I feel like beedrill and its poison type were grossly underutilized in that fairy gym!
4:45 he turned into the postal dude for a second
you know male combee is garbage when you're grateful to run into a ledyba instead
Ever since the Johto True Power tournament, I no longer underestimate bug types.
The fact Butterfree didn't learn Gust until Level 16 was the biggest dang inconvenience this run had.
I love seeing sizor in battle. I hope you use it again soon
This is my favorite Nuzlocke I have ever seen! Way to go Silph! And with my favorite type too!!! Go Catherine!!
Props to you for getting this out while sick. Also did you ban Shell Smash for this run?
3:20 Larvesta: are you sure about that?
As an entomologist whose name is William, I appreciate the Durant shout out. This video really showed some really cool bugs. Thanks for that!
i never noticed that silphs got an amulet coin on his design
From since Gen 1 there’s been a bug type with effectively 500 base stat total
Gen 1 scyther and pinsir
gen 2 heracross and Scizor
Gen 3 ninjask (only 456 I think but very good in competitive with baton pass, speed boost, substitute and swords dance)
Gen 4 yanmega,
Gen 5 exploded with bugs with genesect and volcarona and other strong bugs like crustle with shell smash and scolipede with speed boost….
This has gotta be my 1000th time requesting that you BRING BACK THE TRUE POWER TOURNEY!!!
Ngl I thought beedrill was gonna go belly up 15 minutes into the video… what a nice surprise
That Pikachu in the forest is a pain
My favorite bug type Pokemon are Shuckle, Snom, Frostmoth and Joltick. I would love to have a Snom plushie someday.
YESSSSSS THE KING WITH BACK TO BACK WEEKLY UPLOADS 🔥🔥🔥🥹
“It’s home of my biggest fan” 😂😂😂
I think introducing an "evo clause" could be a good idea.
"If an encounter cannot evolve, you may reroll until you get a version of it that can"
Basically. If you get a combee as an encounter, and it's male, you can reroll until you get a female combee. I see a lot of big runs but almost none of them use vespiqueen so I think it would be neat to see some less used Pokemon be used.
I've done this exact run before! except no nuzlocke rules, just a normal run, but still Bug and in Y specifically!
Feel like every bugs only challenge is mostly just a Heracross carry.
Love your videos Silph! Question: are you ever going to do True Power videos again? And are you going to do the gym leader/elite 4 tournaments again? Those are what introduced me to your channel! Even still, love the channel.
i actually tried this nuzlocke before using bug types, but sadly i failed completing it. good work on the video silph. 👍👍👍👍
A beedril helped me beat fire red once, good to see someone else getting help from the great hornet
Silph was really pushing the RUclips age restrictions in this vid, holy
I got an ad at the worst time when silph said “we found the protect tm for our new encounter, a ni-“ ad plays
Poor beedrill got ignored but still rise up to expectation
Please do a monolocke in Pokémon XD it being all double battles would open so many opportunities
If you’re wondering the viable types for this run are (from easiest to hardest):
Normal
Water
Psychic
Ground
Fire
Dark
Electric
Bug
Love the vids im glad bugs getting love from somone bug types are my favorite thank you!!
have you tried doing a Hardcore Nuzlocke with Poison types in Pokemon X and Y, It will be a challenge for you especially for the first gym
the way he encountered five Durant at the same time and choose to catch the most terrible one lmao
23:35 Actually the currency in Pokemon is based on the yen which as of writing this is 134 yen per 1 US Dollar. So that 16,000 price tag is a lot more reasonable at about 121$
Nice one Siplh, any plans to do a Sinnoh True Power tournament like you did for Kanto & Hoenn?
Yo silph there are a lot of nuzlockers out there but you are by far the best! Keep it up
The trainer that took out Ninjask can actually be skipped by riding past the trainer on a Skiddo
Dang that Skorupi was so unfortunate. I wanted to see Escavalier and Accelgor do work.
The starter pack:
unreal
WICKED
brutal
and theorycrafting
George fhe Crustle was super clutch several times. The MVP
I *_JUST_* realized. Viola is a _shutterbug..._ *A SHUTTERBUG, CORAL!*
29:08 whatever it is, it allows both players to shuffle almost all cards into their decks
Ranmos is holding bonsai scissors, special scissors designed for maintaining bonsai trees :)
Yeeeessssss!!! Beedrill with the clutch win!
Love how great these titles look in comparison to the switch titles
Hard cut to explosion is just comedy gold, it is evergreen
28:45 I for one, would have liked to see this capture… Can’t remember if one ever gets the Masterball by now or later (& not mention of getting one already) so… Wondering about the strat and luck on getting it without a mon loss.. As I know it’s a tough one… Strong flying move and a strong dark move… I think the flying one having the addition of ‘life gain’…?
I will hug him and pet him and squeeze him and call him George!
I really miss the ds/3ds pokemon games, they really don't know what they are doing on the switch lol
Bug types are slept on, eviolite technician Scyther is a killer.
Butterfree, the most amazing butterfly pokémon. Oh no.
New Silph video is the best birthday present!
Can you do a HGSS grass monolocke? You can pay tribute to your only gen 2 run and I feel it wouldn't be as hard as the crystal run you did
That intro theme for the tower exicted
Me:celmont nooo
Love seeing the notifications and seeing "Yhardcore" instead of "Y hardcore" 😂😂😂
The King, Vespiking got revenge!
Does anyone else... remember that... from the fire red nuzlock... just me... okay.
Bug run! With a possible nincada! I did a monotype run if this game and it was HARD. Especially since i got the wrong version so I didnt have Heracross
... Man, I've seen bad natures on HN runs, but this run definitely takes the cake. RIP...
Bug Pokémon were originally meant to help trainers out in the early game since they evolve so quickly…. You get a fully evolved Pokémon at level 10 but they give them middle evolution base stats… the movepools are also real life bug interactions like the powder moves to cause status….
Shoulda gone with the name "Bug Daddy"
Dang, did all those undesirable natures *bug* you a bit?
Hahahaha the p#rbhub comedy was brilliant
The edits in this video and 10/10 😂
