  • @itslexactually
    @itslexactually Год назад +1

    One thing to recognize in a Dark-type run is that Fighting and Poison both resist Bug. In other words, that Durant didn’t have anything great to hit Scrafty, and it only went for Dig against Drapion because that’s its one type weakness.
    In general, when scouting moves? If you haven’t seen all four, assume they have that type you’re worried about - especially if it’s STAB for them, they probably do have it.
    I love Nuzlocke runs for myself as a player, and also watch a lot of different creators from PChal to Moxie2D to FlygonHG, ChaoticMeatball and others. One thing I am always looking for is, how frequently does that creator play around crits?
    I think out of everyone I watch, your runs have a great listenable quality that lets them be audio-only (not something every creator has), but I also notice that you rarely play around crits, even when you acknowledge that a crit might kill. As a result, not only are there sometimes avoidable losses, but they disproportionately include Intimidate users and screen setters BECAUSE you assume that those things make you safe. Unless you have something with Battle Armor (which you actually did in this run), those things do NOT make you perfectly safe. 1/16 is still a fairly high chance in a long playthrough.
    Battle Armor as an ability is at least as valuable as Intimidate, if not more - because stuff like Featherdance, Iron Defense, Cosmic Power etc. that normally wouldn’t be super viable, actually 100 percent makes you safer. It deserves to be valued way more.
    Anyway… end rant. You still seem to win most of these, but yeah. There is a distinct lack of preparation for crits.

    Now, I have to ask: will we ever see the True Power series return someday? I'm missing it. And I remember long ago, on Twitch, you tried to do a B2/W2 Hardcore Nuzlocke using Brock's Pokemon, which is based on his True Power video. Will that ever come up here, too?

    Well done on the run Silph!
    Here's an idea for a run you can do: it's the mono-move nuzlocke, where you are only allowed to use the first move listed in a 'mon's movepool while in battle. This means you won't be able to use set-up moves very easily because you can only have access to up to 6 moves per battle. I think it would be an interesting challenge!

    What about a challenge where you beat an old game with a team that would eventually become Fairy type?

    I'm very late but could someone please remind me what the theme is that's playing around 25:05. It's so good but I can't find it.
