I have a feeling Serperior was programmed to always save you in bad situations, it used to tank unbelievable hits and sweep through whole teams back when I played B&W, it became one of my favorite starters!
My favorite grass type. If you play blaze black and have it with a contrary ability, it gets dragon typing as well, making it so busted with Draco meteor and leaf storm
Nuzlocke content is pretty common but I've been loving the monotype videos. It's so cool to use unconventional teams, it forces you to play smart and explore different options.
20:41 I never realized that was a mandatory double battle in black 2. I always play white 2 and it’s still hard I can only imagine how terrifying it is as a double battle.
Going for Iris (dressed as a queen) with a roalty team: Serperior is french monarchy, Leavany was named monarch and Rosade has two roses, although the colors ain't correct, it still can be associated with the Tudor Rose! I love some concept
That was actually one of the best endings to a nuzlocke video I’ve seen, I was so sure you’d lose to Iris but AI decided to throw and you took full advantage while also avoiding crits.
I know we're only 3 videos in but I think this is my new favorite series on youtube. Makes Sundays so much better and makes me happy for the week so thank you Silph
@@SilphSpectre Emerald was a magnificent game and will always be my favorite unfortunately for me the Unova games came out when I was going throw a really dark phase of my life so I never really got a chance to fully enjoy them but I’ll defiantly give them a revisit soon enough
Silph, watching these runs makes one thing clear: the Gym Leaders live up to their name because even at a disadvantage, they can still cause plenty of trouble. It proves they earn their status as boss encounters.
Man that was a clutch one, Serperior was such an MVP in this. I actually like the mono type runs much more then the single mon ones so I'm really enjoying the series, great vid as always!
Watching Virizion jump down from the ledge dramatically and stand before you only for you to look it in the eyes and completely ignore it is the funniest thing I've ever seen
Man, all of those elite four battles were thrilling, you made some really risky moves and they all payed off. It’s so good to see my favorite type pulling off the unthinkable!
How do these endgames keep getting more and more hype with every video? I didn’t think this run could be any more intense than the Ruby psychic-only run, but apparently I was wrong.
That is one hell of a run!! Grass is my favourite typing and finding out that they’re the 4th worst has broken my heart a little bit.. such a good video, keep ‘em coming!!
Hold up sun...8:54 the traded Pokémon Petilil and cotnee among others always have a beneficial nature and good IVs + EVs from what I've seen researched...
I actually enjoy playing the pokemon studio. I remember playing it for a day to complete all the shows without guides. The statue is not worth it but the amount of healing items and pearls I got after the shows funded my whole playthrough. I also like my head cannon where my character became a famous actor that became a champion like Audrey from X/Y
My man serperior came in clutch at that last part like a champ, seriously gave me the vibes of when I used him to conquer the battle tree and his contrary leaf storms got me out of situations I probably should of died at love that glorious grass snek
This is one of the toughest ones you can do, holy crap. One of the worst types against the second strongest game. Great job! I wanted to take a second to maybe bring some clarity to the Level Cap for the league. What I’ve seen a lot of nuzlockers do is setting the Level Cap to the last Elite Four’s strongest Pokémon (Lance’s Dragonite, Drake’s Salamence, Lucian’s Gallade) and not being concerned if their Pokémon gain so much experience they go beyond that once they reach the Champion. Starting from Gen V that changes obviously since the Elite Four aren’t in order but they all have their Aces at the same level. You set the level cap to that (in this case 58) but you don’t concern yourself with actively avoiding surpassing the Champion’s Ace. Hope this makes sense and makes your runs easier/more exciting!
Big Root doesn’t boost the power of draining moves, it just means that you restore 75% of the damage instead of 50%. It does boost damage inflicted by Leech Seed, however
Maybe you could’ve went in with Ferrothorn on that Haxorus and it would’ve done huge damage since Gyro ball’s power increases the faster your opponent is
Honestly, you should have done this in Challenge Mode, because you would have an extra level or two for the level cap. It would be a nightmare to get past Cheren, but it’s the trade off.
Yeah. I'm usually able to evolve my Swadloon around Level 23 as well assuming it doesn't die to anything beforehand, and luckily for you, you can't get it killed or else it would be unusable for the Nuzlocke, so it works out.
I did white 2 monotype with rock type, on the hard mode. Really fun. I chose rock because between all gen 5 games, there’s only one type specialist missing, being rock
Great run, altough I found a few mistakes: -Clear Smog can never poison the opponent; -Struggle Bug lowers Sp.Atk, not Sp.Def. Bug Buzz does that; -Growlithe KO’ed Cottonee with Flame Wheel, not Fire Fang.
Fun fact: you can get gift deerling at the house where you meet cheren and get surf, the scientist that have deerling will give you his deerling, meaning you could actually get a foongus if you use the gift deerling
Ive been subbed to your channel for a few months and watching these videos. Ive gotten so much better at playing the game at a higher end watching your strats.
great challenge! hope to see you making many more silph, you make them way more entertaining than any other "poketuber". normally i just lurk on youtube vids but i watched your stream a while back where you said that commenting actually really helps out the channel if they cant support you financially. so hopefully this comment will help out even if its just a little bit!:)
you using gyro ball at the exact moment ferroseed does its spinning animation & sleep powder the moment cofagrigus “closes” itself gives me so much serotonin :’)
40:05 Btw, the reason Iris keeps spamming boosting moves is that she's trying to do the following: In the case of Haxorus, she's trying to OHKO and she'll keep boosting for that. For Aggron, she's just trying to outspeed.
The trade Petilil is always Modest with 31 IVs in SpA. Definitely should’ve taken it up.
He couldve traded the dead cottonee, it wouldnt have broken the rules
@@bigmonke3348 technically, you would be because you'd have to take cottonee out of the box.
@@mr.pickle6487 Doesn't need to be in the box does it? It doesn't say you can't release
@@bigmonke3348 the rules say any fainted pokemon have to be permanently boxed
@@mr.pickle6487 fr? im using a dead primeape as hm slave in my fire red run, my bad i guess
It feels so dang good to see Serperior again, absolutely adore the lovely snek
The starters in gen 5 are great. Oshawott gang myself
yes
Snivy gang rise up
@@CharlieGreasby nobody asked. Nobody cares. We are talking about snivy here.
Yes snivy gang all the way
Ah yes, Silph proving that he is the "Serperior" trainer
😂😂😂
Cringe!!!! xD
*rimshot*
I see what you did there 😊
Finally a worthy opponent, our pun battle will be legendary you "BASS"tard
I have a feeling Serperior was programmed to always save you in bad situations, it used to tank unbelievable hits and sweep through whole teams back when I played B&W, it became one of my favorite starters!
It was my favourite too💜💜
Serperior for life!
It was my favorite pokemon
My favorite grass type. If you play blaze black and have it with a contrary ability, it gets dragon typing as well, making it so busted with Draco meteor and leaf storm
My favourite of all just because of that.
Nuzlocke content is pretty common but I've been loving the monotype videos.

Precisely! I've always loved underrated Pokemon (have made quite a few videos on them) and this allows a chance for me to show what they can do :D
@@SilphSpectre you have to do a NFE locke next
For the Skyla gym-
Eviolite Ferroseed has higher defenses than ferrothorn.
That is all
What the fu-
Ferrothorn has much higher hp though which makes it a little bit bulkier
@@dragicmagic9870 What a bind we're in.
I randomly started getting addicted to watching nuzlockes and I could not be happier that you are doing a series on them
same. lol
Same
Saaaaame
Same lol
36:14 Big root doesn't increase the damage of draining moves, it increases how much HP you get back from draining moves by 30%
Which is still good.
21:01
Liligant's revenge for getting refused lol
loolz^^
I'd never been so happy of witnessing a successful Grass type only Hardcore Nuzlocke in my life.
Levi lives on to tell the tale.
That ending had me on the edge of my seat!
My boi Serperior came in clutch tho! 💚
Do you mean clutch ?
@@bobbanter5744 lol yea
I mean , you were pretty much bound to win since you named your Serperior "Levi"
There’s no place for Levi simps in the Pokémon community
@@dynastygirl2912 We must protect our giants from those pesky neck cutting humans
I subbed ._.
@@lenardacejo7894 Thanks:D
Yea
The fidget spinner
Ferroseed with a Timid nature....
Roselia with a Brave nature.....
I can feel your pain.......
20:41 I never realized that was a mandatory double battle in black 2. I always play white 2 and it’s still hard I can only imagine how terrifying it is as a double battle.

THERE SHOULD BE 2 N'S IN LEAVANNY! THERE SHOULD BE 2 R'S IN ROSERADE! AND WE DON'T SAY AIN'T, WE SAY AREN'T!
That was actually one of the best endings to a nuzlocke video I’ve seen, I was so sure you’d lose to Iris but AI decided to throw and you took full advantage while also avoiding crits.
I know we're only 3 videos in but I think this is my new favorite series on youtube. Makes Sundays so much better and makes me happy for the week so thank you Silph
I love how sewaddle has higher defence than snorlax
THE C IN DEFENSE IS SUPPOSED TO BE AN S!
@@Amelia4111 no not it’s not
I'm late, but it's a regional thing. I'm English, and over here we spell it as "defence" instead of "defense".
Another great challenge video Sliph, that crit brick break from Scrafty was heart breaking.
Thanks Brendan! Honestly I was SO frustrated after that xD That plan was FOOLPROOF! Well, almost...
Damn that ending was intense!! Your play through has encouraged me to replay my white 2 again
Thanks Nazeer! Honestly they're such great games. Definitely in my top two right up with Emerald!
@@SilphSpectre Emerald was a magnificent game and will always be my favorite unfortunately for me the Unova games came out when I was going throw a really dark phase of my life so I never really got a chance to fully enjoy them but I’ll defiantly give them a revisit soon enough
I love how Verizion jumps in front of you and yells just for you to walk around her lmao
Virizion: *bruh*
her......
"her"...?

Woop! Didn't even read the video title in the notification, just saw that it was yours, and clicked it. Hyyyyype
Josh is a hero, confirmed 😉
@@SilphSpectre Indeed he is! He will lead soviet russia someday, anyways sorry for pinging you
Finishing the game with only the Starter alive
Watching Virizion jump down from the ledge dramatically and stand before you only for you to look it in the eyes and completely ignore it is the funniest thing I've ever seen
Man, all of those elite four battles were thrilling, you made some really risky moves and they all payed off. It’s so good to see my favorite type pulling off the unthinkable!
Man… Black and White art style is beautiful, I love the animated Pokémon sprites, a lot of them look much more alive than Sword an Shield 3D models
These are the best part of my day. What a run! Keep it up and your channel's gonna blow up
Another challenge? Oh baby! This weekend isn't bad after all! :D
The run begins with the Snivy line and ends with the Snivy line!
How do these endgames keep getting more and more hype with every video? I didn’t think this run could be any more intense than the Ruby psychic-only run, but apparently I was wrong.
Holy shit dude, that was an incredible end
That is one hell of a run!! Grass is my favourite typing and finding out that they’re the 4th worst has broken my heart a little bit.. such a good video, keep ‘em coming!!
Snivy saw my first starter Pokemon when I was 5. Nostalgia.
Oh man, you're a child. The first pokemon game i ever played(when i was 5) was pokemon red

Bro you are still a baby we dont speak when you ask we decide when to talk to you. Be silent and learn some manners.@@harryshell212
Hold up sun...8:54 the traded Pokémon Petilil and cotnee among others always have a beneficial nature and good IVs + EVs from what I've seen researched...
You also get a medal for doing the Pokémon league with a full team of one type.
Really!? I should go back and get it then! xD
9:44 "There is where I'd give my Cottonee a Sun Stone... If I HAD one!!!"
This man did a nuzlocke with grass types and didn’t make a 420 joke at the first battle smh
Aww, the movie minigame was a favorite of mine.
And a surprisingly cool "puzzle" addition to test mechanical knowledge
Man I enjoy every upload
Your videos are top notch quality 👍 not to mention I personally think your narration is the best too. Very soothing
PS: That a nice Tim and Eric reference with that tangela nickname?
Press F to pay respects for every fallen Pokemon that died...
F

so many fallen soldiers but not in vain:')
PokeStar studios offered something different to Pokémon trainers. It was brilliant!
That was insane, what an incredible run. These runs are great, can't wait to see more
I actually enjoy playing the pokemon studio. I remember playing it for a day to complete all the shows without guides. The statue is not worth it but the amount of healing items and pearls I got after the shows funded my whole playthrough. I also like my head cannon where my character became a famous actor that became a champion like Audrey from X/Y
Holy sh*t, that was CRAZY! Even I'm surprised you pulled it off. Talk about counting your lucky stars! This was just crazy.
My man serperior came in clutch at that last part like a champ, seriously gave me the vibes of when I used him to conquer the battle tree and his contrary leaf storms got me out of situations I probably should of died at
love that glorious grass snek
Just binged your other hardcore nuzlockes, keep it up man really entertaining stuff
This is one of the toughest ones you can do, holy crap. One of the worst types against the second strongest game. Great job!

Hope this makes sense and makes your runs easier/more exciting!
Serperior is my favorite Pokémon I love the clutch in the end. 💚
A legit curious question, in the fight against Ghetsis, wouldn't Roserade be a better matchup with Toxicroak since they are both poison Pokemon?
If you look closely he doesnt have roserade in his party. He has his HMslave ducklett
Another great video! Can't wait to see more of these :D
39:55 I love moments like this in-game, it reminds of the anime episode where ash and that bug samurai just have their metapods spam harden.
So much green, I highly approve :D
Also happens to be my favorite color!
OMG I love that Ferroseed moment!! hahaha XD
@16:20
Big Root doesn’t boost the power of draining moves, it just means that you restore 75% of the damage instead of 50%. It does boost damage inflicted by Leech Seed, however
Wow that ending was something else! Excellent planning and execution throughout!
Thank you man Here's a sub. Serperior is my favorite pokemon and no one uses it. Yoi gave it some recognition thank you.
Serperior is the best starter lol
@@erendrunkyaeger4793 *not in unova
Serpirior is my favourite Pokemon 2
My boy here making another awesome challenge video !
I am loving the new nuzlockes man 😁. I recommend you doing a black and white 2 run with only bug types unova's bugs are super strong
Oh yay im not the only Arab on RUclips
Maybe you could’ve went in with Ferrothorn on that Haxorus and it would’ve done huge damage since Gyro ball’s power increases the faster your opponent is
I never thought my heart would sink at the sight of a feinting elemental monkey. Well fought, Simi.
Been watching for weeks, you deserve a sub, so I did. Keep up the beautiful content my dude!
As we always say: never punished
That ending was insane! Fantastic video!
You are literally the only youtuber I have notifications on for
That means a lot Kamal! Thanks for supporting the channel :D
Ba
There's something poetic about your starter being the sole survivor after you beat the Pokémon League. Levi is a real ride or die homie.
1:50 Levi is actually my favorite character from attack on Titan which is a superb anime that I highly recommend watching
18:15 when your pokemon its sus😳
Amoongus predicted among us xd
Congratulations on that run and that last clutch by Levi.
Honestly, you should have done this in Challenge Mode, because you would have an extra level or two for the level cap. It would be a nightmare to get past Cheren, but it’s the trade off.
10:11 Not sure if the rules apply here, but wouldn’t Whimsicott be technically a new encounter? Could’ve easily caught it right there. :/
you can't have more than one of the same evolution line
That was incredible. With only Serperior remaining, any other decisions would have probably been game over.
Definitely should've taken the Petilil, it carried me for both the Electric Gym and Ground Gym. Sleep powder + Quiver dance + giga drain is too op.
Yeah. I'm usually able to evolve my Swadloon around Level 23 as well assuming it doesn't die to anything beforehand, and luckily for you, you can't get it killed or else it would be unusable for the Nuzlocke, so it works out.

keep this stuff up man it makes my days easier to get past and your commentary is fantastic!!
Thanks for the support Cam, so glad to hear the vids can improve your day if even just a little bit! More is on its way :D
Fun fact: you can get gift deerling at the house where you meet cheren and get surf, the scientist that have deerling will give you his deerling, meaning you could actually get a foongus if you use the gift deerling
Another amazing challenge video. Awesome clutch at the end
You could have saved Sawsbuck simply by switching into your Ferrothorn, who is a Steel type and immune to poison.
Can we appreciate that Servine lived the volt switch with 69 hp
Ive been subbed to your channel for a few months and watching these videos. Ive gotten so much better at playing the game at a higher end watching your strats.

you using gyro ball at the exact moment ferroseed does its spinning animation & sleep powder the moment cofagrigus “closes” itself gives me so much serotonin :’)
i felt that
Just shows how underrated Serperior is. My favourite Grass type starter after Venusaur.
You sure kicked grass!
Oh my! One member left!
Nice! Love nuzlockes like this, felt like there was a ton of personality!
Emboar and Samurott are good but we all know who is Serperior.
Don't have anything to say, so I'm just commenting for the RUclips algorithm
I’m pretty sure that the trades in the game have guaranteed good natures, so the petalil would be either modest or timid
why didnt you catch whimsicott? i mean cottonee never evolved so its not a duplicate mon
Species clause. Evolutions are counted as the same pokemon
finally, I can see Maractus being used- I love that pokemon as I can make a pun "Martactus" on it
This was so crazy lmaoo
40:05 Btw, the reason Iris keeps spamming boosting moves is that she's trying to do the following:
In the case of Haxorus, she's trying to OHKO and she'll keep boosting for that.
For Aggron, she's just trying to outspeed.
Make more videos like this, I really enjoy it
