Can I beat Pokémon Emerald with only Water Type Pokémon using Hardcore Nuzlocke Rules? The answer might not be as obvious as you think...
Normal Nuzlocke Ruleset:
1. Fainting = Death
2. Can only catch the first Water Type Pokémon on each route.
3. Nickname Pokémon
Hardcore Nuzlocke Ruleset:

The letter to Steven is top-tier comedy, I’m crying right now
In his previous video on Emerald, the letter to Steven was also a goldmine of jokes
My dearest Steven,
I am writing you this letter to inform you that my marriage to your mother, Nosepass, is ending. We simply do not love each other anymore. She will never admit it, but I know it is because I asked her to give up her dreams and be a stay-at-home mother for your half-brother Nosey. Nosey is such a special child. It is not easy being half-human, half-Nosepass Watching him, I see the look on his face as he struggles with the complexity of human emotions while also being subjected to the basic desire to always be pointing North. It is heart-breaking and I know it has burdened your mother greatly. I fear she has no more energy left to love our marriage.
I know you've never truly accepted my wife as your mother. You called our marriage sick, disturbing, a gross violation of morality and ethics But I know you love Nosey. So, Steven, my boy, I must ask that you come home. Come home and be a supportive big brother to Nosey as we finalize the divorce. He will need you now more than ever. I know you will do the right thing.
Love, Daddy Stone
So much effort for a 1 second screen
Can't forget the Emerald playthrough where we find out that Steven never existed. It was FlygonHG all along
What is that name,dude 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎?
Mr.stone: *sends a literal child to send a letter to his son*
Also Mr.stone: *Has a company that makes PHONES*
Steven was deep into a cave where phones don't have signal
@whatever oliver Maybe he does, but not with Mr Stone
@whatever oliverit all depends on how deep the cave is or how much rock is in the way of the signal. Walkie talkies aren’t always reliable in caves especially if we assume the pokeworld has the same level of walkie talkie technology as we did back in 2004
It’s kinda hard to judge all that from a gameboy advance game though
As usual, Pokémon Adventures manga is here to explain all plot holes and make things make sense. Definitely a recommended reading for anyone into Pokémon.
@whatever oliver Boy you sound like an experienced cave explorer. 'Walkie talkies' can't penetrate 20ft of rock either
incredibly invested in the story of nosey and mrs. stone-pass, expecting a continuation of this tragic tale
I'd give this episode 7.8/10, I feel there's just too much water

LOL
I like how you despised Perrier at his death in the first attempt, and he was actually clutch for much of the rest of the game after that third gym. Really cool video, as always.
Slaking: "You can't defeat me"
Flygonphd: "I know but she can"
*points at toilet bird*
Flygonphd?

FlygonHG + PhD (FlygonHG has a PhD) = FlygonPhD
It's a pun.
@@niwaka273 OHH! I didn’t know he had a PhD. Thats really cool!
@@jerryakatony5724 yeah, im pretty sure it's literally in biomedical engineering too, if im remembering it right. he actually shows it in one of his videos
well if i chose water Pokemon then its swampert relacahnt cradant gyrdos
You know shit's serious when flygon starts pronouncing facade correctly
Thing is he was pronouncing it wrong
Fack-ah-dieu
But he never did. It doesn't rhyme with arcade, it rhymes with applaud and flawed and rod.
@CinnaSwirls yeah it sounds more like
F-uh-sawd not faw-cade
I stand with Nosey! He needs all the support he can get. Steven better give him all the (poké)puffs in the world
i agree its not easy being half nosepass half human
Agreed! He didn’t ask to be born he shouldn’t deserve to suffer because of actions outside of his control!
@@pokmar1-216 poor nosey hopefully he will grow up to be something amazing

That fishing montage was God-tier editing, props to you Dr. Flygon
Didn't expect the screen rotations... Just discovered Flygon today as I prep for my own Water and Steel Nuzlocke. First Nuzlocke I've ever done too.
10:30
Me "flygon. Why are you stopping at a trainer. Flygon. Flygon no. Please tell me you didn't lose a pokemon before Norman"
Not one but TWO!
@@eclipse-vw9yeHopefully my Water and Steel Nuzlocke works out. And I realized Lotad/Lombre is a great Double Battle partner. Swift from Nature Power and Growl hit both opponents. Lotad and Seedot are a duo of disaster used by two NPCs early game. Bide + Harden can one-shot.
"the only stab move that this poor bastard gets"
That line absolutely killed me, goddamn
Even reading it as text is fucking hilarious
Flygon really out here pumping out quality videos left and right … what an MVP 🔥
@@FlygonHG hoping along with u that it’s gonna be good 🙏
FOR REAL! I'm so happy seeing him uploading so much because all of them are absolute bangers.
It's a beautiful morning when Dr Flygon posts a new Nuzlocke! Thank you! I didn't have the greatest night so seeing this gives me a happy face.
Agreed, though I'd call him Flygon HG PHD
The community is always here for you dude. Hope whatever you're going through gets better :)
This was probably the most hyped (if also only) fishing montage ive ever seen. 10/10
That letter is unbelievably hilarious. Well done, Dr. HG.
Starting the video with a load of self-deprecation is always humble and hilarious.
"i see the look on his face as he struggles with the complexities of human emotion while also being subjected to the basic desire to always be pointing north" flygon its 3am you cant DO THIS TO ME-
in all seriousness though, my day was very busy and i had a bit of a rough sensory overload while out, so being able to lay down and watch a new video from you makes me happy. your videos are both so relaxing and funny and i love watching them!! 💕
I am so justified to finally see someone else get fricced by the dragon rage yellow range thing. I lost my Gyarados to a Graveler to that stupid range, seeing that I hit it with a dragon rage into yellow, and being pretty sure I could live an explosion, I was suddenly rudely dismissed by the dragon rage not killing, only for me to die after getting hit by a rock throw that chipped me to bring me into kill to explosion. Man I hate it. Hope that never happens to you again, or to anyone for that matter.
I love the one type challenges. It feels like your training to become your own gym leader
28:20 The AI in emerald does a damage roll for all of its moves to see if any of them kill. This roll can crit / low roll etc. If any move kills with this AI-roll, it will select that move. If more than one move kills, it will select at random (even if one move is not guaranteed to kill). I think this Altaria will almost always set up dragon dance, but this time, in its damage check, it rolled a crit dragonbreath that killed, so it went for that instead.
AI doesn´t roll for crits
@@owenaspinall2046 that is good to know. Sometimes the AI makes weird choices though. I wonder if it rolls for secondary effects, such as the paralysis in this case. It seems to me as though the AI sometimes randomly prefers those moves with secondary status effects but I am not sure about the detailed mechanics there.
@@tiemen9095 I think AI is extremely likely to Dragon Dance when slower than you because AI loves speed control. The Pelipper might have been naturally slower, meaning AI is about 50% to use highest damage move or non-damaging move.
@@owenaspinall2046 Ah that actually makes sense in this situation yeah. Do you know if the AI rolls for secondary effects?
I have seen HG kill more water types in the last month than anyone has in the last year 🤣
Susgestion, how about a run with only using a specific species:
Like only cat Pokemon, or dog, horse, butterfly/moth, bat, snake, deer, spider, rabbit, so forth.
I had an entire team of one species one time and it was a fun challenge~
Might be a fun challenge. To see a team consisting of one species, just a susgestion. Keep up the great work~
I accept this challenge.
He's done 3 now
I played Pokemon Violet with Birds only and it was so much fun! A great challenge!
Flygon on the first run: Yeah, I'm not interested in using Gyarados.
Flygon on the second run: Gyarados is pretty good!
Getting real humbled by the mono water nuzlocke.
Imagine not wanting to use gyarados in a nuzlocke 🤯
I love your nuzlockes because you allow yourself to make mistakes. It’s so boring when the nuzlock is sweep after sweep with 0-1 total deaths.
I'd rate this run 7.8 out of 10. Too much water.
I think what sets you apart from other nuzlockers is your in depth strategy explanation and subtle humor. For me at least. Love it!
Ahem: I wrote this before watching the video... Yeah..
Seeing the Emerald E4 makes me nostalgic, especially remembering how I discovered a Cacturne counters Sydney, Phoebe, Wallace and partially Glacia so hard that you can enter with a lvl ~40 Cacturne and exit with a lvl ~50 Cacturne in the Hall of fame.
With what moveset?
@@matthijscalje4143 i don't know about this person but I ran mine with faint attack, needle arm, growth and leech seed. However 40 wasn't cutting it so I entered at 50, lost badly to Glacia and re-entered at 55. Still got brutally beaten by Glacia still but I managed to beat her on my 4th or 5th attempt at lvl 55. This is what I get for not running fire or fighting types against her. Overall I surprisingly had fun using Cacturne
Ay, I found the secret hideout of the cacturne lovers, I love it here
Before the video starts, I'd like to predict a "hoenn has too much water" joke in the first 2 minutes
Edit: yup
lol
All this shows is that FlygonHG is a 200 IQ mastermind who throws for content and knows not only how to play around the crit, but play around us as well.
I appreciate that slick "Better Than Revenge" reference at the beginning of the video. It's nice to know there are other Swifties in the pokemon community.
I was scrolling through comments to see if anyone else caught this!
I was like "Is that Taylor Swift?" Lmao. I was legit about to shed a tear 😃 I wish I was kidding
So cool! Also in another one of his videos he named one pokemon Cardigan and another one Style. I don't know if twitch chat suggested it or he thought of these on his own, but it's awesome regardless!
@@andrija4072 Cardigan should be Throhs permanent name 😍💅
@@justsomegirlwithagodcomple3068 YESS
Yo flygon, I know you must already be quite proud of it, but that fishing montage was edited so nice and smoothly. Really great content!
Can we just talk about Dragalgae being in the water list 1:13
Yea, I thought only skrelp was water
I absolutely love your sense of humor. I have loved watching your content from the first video I clicked. You’re basically the reason I even like nuzlockes. Just wanted to let you know you’re awesome and thanks for the content.
“7.8/10 - Too much water.”
they have a point tho
Amazing work as always FlygonHG. A friend and I started a soul link nuzlocke for a laugh, there’s me chilling, playing around crits, pivoting, thinking what is worth sacking off should the need arise and my friend is just stressing over silly little things 😂 Thanks Flygon, you’ve taught me well!!
We need a mono Nosepass hardlocke now in honor of Nosey!
My favorite type and my fave nuzlocker! Great video as always and your narrative makes me laugh. Great serotonin boost
Flygon: makes a speech about how patience & considering all possibilities is so important for nuzlockes & his lack of doing that made him wipe
Also Flygon: **literally the next frame** yeah so I just swapped in my main pokemon and if that hit had crit it wouldve been dead & i would've wiped again
Start of the video where he talks about water types dropping like flies is kinda funny if you've been watching his renegade platinum run (won't spoil anything)
Which platinum run?
@@stanleypressley2197 you can watch it on his highlights channel
@@stanleypressley2197 Renegade Platinum, a ROM hack of Pokemon Platinum. Like the other reply says, you can watch it on his highlights channel if you aren't able to catch a stream
Can I just say, you've quickly become my favorite nuzlocker on this platform. I love pchallenges too, but you have such a good, succinct way of summarizing your experience with the nuzlocke and your thoughts on teambuilding, e.t.c. That, and you're quite funny as well. Kudos flygonHG!
There really just are too many pokemon in Hoenn . . . great video as always though ! You've quickly become my fav nuzlocker tbh
Love your vids flygon! You inspired me to do my first nuzlocke ever, which was in shield. Keep doing great man!
Absolutely love your nuzlockes. Been tuning into your highlights and loving those as well! ❤️
Fun timing, I am playing an Emerald Water Monotype Hardcore Nuzlocke right at this moment :D Currently right before the eigth badge, but I also had way too many deaths already. Lets hope I don't have to wipe as well. Definitely a lot more difficult than expected :) Thanks for these cool videos!
So excited to watch this!! Your videos always rock!
Nono, they water
I wanted to tell you i'm currently doing my first Hardcore Nuzlocke, inspired by you! You more than anyone else are the one who made me want to try Nuzlockes, and so far i'm doing pretty well!
I really enjoyed the idea of telling us it’s a crazy run in the beginning. It kept me on my seat the whole time wait for it to hit the fan. Great video!
That catching Montage is definitely my favorite editing of the whole video, and possible all your videos. And of COURSE that frigging letter. SO GOOD. Honestly your writing humor is sooooo good, the articles from the baby one, the "study" from this on, etc
From the letter to Steven to the countless fallen friends, this video was a wild ride. Thank you for another banger, HG
Technically the Underwater sections for Chinchou and Clamperl ARE two separate locations if you examine the game's map files, but they're both labeled Underwater. A BS technicality, I understand but am saddened by the loss of Chinchou 😭😭
That fishing montage killed me. :D
Your Nuzlocke videos have quickly become my go-to entertainment on RUclips. I was very excited to see a new video today, had to watch it right away!
I am giving this video a 7.8.Too much water.
😤
This video was a lot fun to watch! A water hardcore mono-locke was my first playthrough of Emerald, and actually my second ever HC Nuzlocke win; I was going to do a less demanding run first but got talked into it and was honestly surprised at how well it went... but yeah, I was playing very slow, very cautious, looking up all fights ahead of time, which really does make all the difference. The big mistakes I had made was losing my Gyarados to a random trainer in Gym 7 who had a Wobbufet which I meant to avoid, and then losing Peliper in victory road to that double-trainer battle that has a slaking with thunderbolt and a Gardevoir which negates its Loafing ability (if I recall correctly? It caught me so off-guard). The two battles which gave me the most trouble were, unsurprisingly, Juan and Wallace's double-team spam; I was completely unprepared for those and ended up improvising stall tactics on the fly but only got away with some luck haha.
The cool thing about the Emerald mono-water as you showed here is that you really have so many options to choose from, and there's a fair amount of variety involved. Half of your final team were pokemon I didn't use at all in my playthrough! Honestly, for anyone wanting to try out a mono-type challenge in Hardcore Nuzlocke ruleset for the first time, I strongly recommend this one. The mandatory fights have very few pokemon that pose a significant problem to most possible teams, tons of varied encounters with quite a few reprieves if you mess up a couple, and Emerald is just a really fun game overall.
The intro gets me every time, so clean and seamless. Amazing Video as always dude.
2:32 thank you for this bit. As someone who's carried Lombrea through a TEAMLOCKED nuzlocke on RSE, this made me feel extremely validated.
Had a great time watching the run, the fishing montage had me in stitches, a+ content right there
I can only imagine PC Challenges reacting to this run lol
Fantastic content as always! This makes me wonder if you'll ever do blind runs (no damage calcing or looking up teams) for a future run just to keep it this spicy
My goodness Flygon, what a video!!! The letter to steven was comedic GOLD, and then the fishing montage which I absolutely loved! Loving the amazing content :)
Watching your entire channel has given me a newfound respect for setup moves and Protect. I really want to use a Stockpile Pelipper with Drizzle in a playthrough now!
Slow and steady wins the race, especially in a nuzlocke. One of the best general tips for a nuzlocke by far, and one I learned the hard way during my recent pearl nuzlocke.
I lost my Staravia to Gardenia’s Roserade due to me both overestimating my bird and underestimating roserade. It had speed control, and I was dead to a critical hit magical leaf. I did some rough math, and figured quick attack MIGHT be enough damage to pick up the KO... It didn’t, and Roserade got the critical hit to punish my mistake.
The thing that sucks, and I mentally smacked myself for this, was that I had a zubat and monferno sitting in the back.
Golbat ia more suíted vs Roserade. Good luck next tine
I had a feeling you were gonna do this run after you tweeted about Huntail and Gorebyss. Love the weekly videos again!
Big fan, you’ve gotten too good recently, glad to see a run with useless deaths
Poor Nosey, that must be so hard to go thru. He can’t even fully comprehend human emotions yet he is experiencing so many
i did this a few months ago!! my champion team was swampert, milotic, walrein, ludicolo, starmie, and gyarados. using sharpedo for phoebe definitely would have helped, she was tough for me!
The montage had me creasing with laughter that was brilliant 😂😂😂😂😂
I love all your RSE nuzlockes. I've watched them all! 😊
Lasted only 30 seconds or so but I loved that mini catching montage after the Massacre at the Petalburg Gym, very very nice job Mr. HG
That letter was heartbreaking, poor Nosey :(
Fun fact it’s my birthday today and I’m so happy ur using my favorite type 💙 another great video!!! 👍🏻
Thank u so much!!! 😁
🎂
happy bday!
You’re literally the most underrated youtuber, i love ur casual jokes and amazing content!
That fishing montage was pure gold!
Absolutely it gave me a second wind after the discouragement in Petalburg
I feel the pain. I tried this Challenge as my First monolocke thinking this would be easy and got totally overwhelmed. Maybe i'll try it again some day, this time with way more preparation.
Water type has always been my favorite, and Emerald was the game that really got me into pokemon. Its like my childhood all over again. Long live Aquafina!
Edit: Nvm, RIP aquafina. Maybe your dad was taking out his frustration at his weird, water obsessed child on him.
Fun fact: if you try and use the pokenav in the caves there's no signal, that's why Stone needed the letter delivered
Another top tier video ❤️🔥 i love the nature of your videos
I remember in my first nuzlocke in Ruby I stalled out both slakings for the 5th gym with a pelliper holding a leppa berry
A little tip! You can get Staryu in the Aqua Hideout entrance and it counts as it’s own separate area!
Only in ORAS.
The fishing montage was the greatest bit since the entire rhyming video. Right on, brother! 🤘
A friend of mine gave me his old Emerald game when we were still in school. This game was my favorite, but it's where I came to LOATHE Pelipper.
Idk what it was, but EVERY. SINGLE. PLAYTHROUGH. there would be at least a dozen times where pelipper would get like 9 protects off in a row.
Crazy triple protects, followed by an insane miss or dodge of my pokemon's move, followed up by more triple protects.
Repeatedly.
I broke my first GBA when I was 11 over it. Straight up snapped in half down the middle with my hands fighting Wynona. It's not like the game was ever really hard. Just. Fucking. Peelipper. Constantly. Getting. Triple. Protects.
Skill issue. Read the protect
@@cuhgaming4943 yes yes thank you for bringing up "skill" 🙄You clearly can't read or don't understand how 11 year olds play pokemon. At 29 years old now, I'm much better at "reading the protect." Thanks captain.
Estuvo muy jodido el primer intento y volver a hacer todo en el segundo y ahora sí acabarlo, que paciencia pero genial xD
Appreciate these videos, and especially Emerald! Hoenn is my favorite region.
This has to be the best Flygon video yet 😂😂
I love it!!
28:38 that's crazy rng on your end. Like I have seen that a couple of times in the original gen 3 games. In ORAS Altaria is also much more likely to go for Dragonbreath I feel like.
2 hardcore nuzlockes in a week? Flygon working overtime yo
I think since this was a fairly easy run he beat the game easily and made the video sooner. We may not get a new video the upcoming week
Man I don’t even play Pokémon anymore but watching your nuzlockes of classic games like this triggers intense nostalgia and I keep coming back for more every week 🍻
I swear your videos always make my Saturdays better
Would love to see you go for the Steven battle in your emerald runs
Really surprised to see you wipe in a challenge where you get Swampert, Gyrados, Tentacruel, and Ludicolo. The first three are insanely good for nuzlockes and Ludicolo is great in emerald late game considering the number of water type opponents and how he resists most of them and is super effective against them. Fun video still
I never tire of you showing Poppy off whenever possible. She is precious.
I've watched this playthrough multiple times, and I just now paused at 4:28 to read the letter from Mr. Stone to Steven...and Good Lord lmao.
Thank you for all the amazing content you've put out! Keep up the great work!
Before watching, I'm assuming this run will be easy because water types are fantastic as are rain teams.
Wow didn't expect you to struggle but you weren't really trying the first run.
Too much water types 7/10 video
Despite how short lived it was, I was ecstatic you named my favorite Dragon type after Smart Water, since that's what I tend to buy. Too bad it didn't make it to adulthood
How he managed to put the letter on screen without bursting into laughter is beyond me. Also your one of my favourite Pokémon RUclipsr because your so funny and you don't take things so seriously. Keep up the good work!
I'd love to see a wedlocke/partnerlocke
I love how you pronounce Facade different each time 😂
Is he mispronouncing it on purpose to be funny? I know he mispronounces Lapras, Ninetales, and Arcanine, but Facade as “Fay-Cade” is unforgivable
May sound random but I love the noon EST upload time. Always a treat to watch these during lunch!
I really love your videos! The fishing montage was very funny and epic, it gave me goosebumps :D
4:27 WHAT THE ACTUAL FUVK WAS THAT?!?!?!??!!??!?!?!!??
