  • Is it possible to beat Hardcore Nuzlocke using only Pokemon species beginning with the letter "P"? I'll be playing Pokemon White 2 to see if this challenge can be completed! I'll also be playing on Normal Mode instead of Challenge Mode.

    The Hardcore Nuzlocke rules for this challenge:
    1. Only catch the first Pokemon on each route that begins with the letter P, or evolves into a Pokemon that does.
    2. If a Pokemon faints, it must be released.
    3. For Gym Battles/E4, must be at the highest Pokemon's level cap at the start of the fight.
    4. No items in battle.
    5. Play on Set Mode.
    6. No Legendaries.
    7. Duplicates Clause - I can re-roll an encounter if I have already caught one during the run.
    8. Pokemon cannot be evolved if further evolutions don't start with P.
    9. Pokemon that evolve into P Pokemon can be used even if they don't start with P (e.g., Tepig)

    Just in case you didn't know. Due to a bug, Challenge Mode isn't actually (much) harder. The Pokemon in CM are a higher level, but they have the same stats as if they were the regular level. The EXP you get in CM is updated, however, so you do tend to be a higher level which sort of balances out the updated trainer move sets & items.
    In a hardcore Nuzlocke where you go to the level cap, Challenge Mode might actually be easier than Normal Mode since you will always be way above the "real" level of the NPCs' Pokémon.

    • @colehanna4040
      @colehanna4040 Год назад +3

      I would say the increased AI difficulty and improved trainer teams outweigh the couple levels of stat growth, so challenge mode is still noticeably more difficult

    • @BaconNuke
      @BaconNuke Год назад +1

      And isn't the inverse true? Like "Easy mode" is actually more difficult since you get less money and exp but boss mons still are same strength as Normal

    Commenting at 1.35 of the video, so I hope it's not something mentioned further in the video.
    Challenge mode might not be as difficult as you think.
    While, yes, teams change to stronger ones, it has been found that pokemon with buffed up levels actually have the same stats their "Normal Mode" counterparts have.
    This is huge in Hardcore Nuzlockes, as you end up simply having a higher level cap with few downsides.
    Still, thank you for the video!

    Ah. This reminds me of when we were kids and my sister was trying to name her Abra in Pearl "Patrick", but she accidentally hit the DS screen on the bed frame, and ended up with it just being named "P". Which, was cause for many a manic giggle when it was thrown into battle and the trainer shouted "Go! P!" :)

    First, pick Cyndaquil. Then, get the Togepi egg,but keep it for HM Flash since none of the Q Pokemon learns Flash. Then, battle and name him"Sengola". Battle the gym leaders,catch Quagsire(catchable in the wild) and Qwilfish, beat Sengola ,Team Rocket, The Elite Four and the champion, Lance with your 3 pokemon.

    Still eagerly anticipating the Q episode. Total number of Pokemon with names beginning with Q is very, very short; Quilava, Quagsire, Qwilfish, Quilladin, and in the time since you started these challenges the newly added Quaxly line. In what game are the largest number of these even available?

    • @dhi_holo
      @dhi_holo Год назад

      I feel like it might honestly be Paldea, although it's very poorly balanced for it. Quaxly is able to fully evolve, and alongside Quagsire from the water town being technically available, and I believe Qwilfish is around, that's three lines, which I think is the most at once
      Just sucks they're all water types
