  • Can I beat a hardcore Nuzlocke of Pokémon Ultra Sun using only the Alolan Variants?
    Alola was the first region to introduce regional variants, something that has continued ever since. Since I have very little experience with the Alolan games, I haven't really gotten a chance to use them all, until this video.
    Using only the alolan variants, I attempted to complete a hardcore nuzlocke or Ultra Moon, lets see how it goes!

    To the surprise of no one my favorite Alolan form is a toss up between Sandslash and Marowak. I like em’ all honestly, even long neck Exeggutor, but those two especially come to mind.

  • @midnight1978
    @midnight1978 6 месяцев назад +22

    This was a great run! I think the only thing I didn't like about it, was the fact, that you SOS-Chained for the Hidden Ability from Alolan Vulpix instead of catching the first Vulpix you get. But that's just a small nitpick lmao

    • @NuzlockeJoe
      @NuzlockeJoe  6 месяцев назад +21

      Yeah I get that. I know it’s sometimes looked down on in a nuzlocke to do SOS chain, but I really wanted a snow warning ninetails

      @clanedogg1 6 месяцев назад +10

      Nah disagree. Much prefer taking liberties to make a run more fun or interesting to watch rather than following rules super strictly. But all personal opinion… each to their own… etc.

    • @midnight1978
      @midnight1978 6 месяцев назад

      @@Clodnesia I wouldn't really say "specific Rules". There's the Standart-Rule, that you can just catch the first Pokemon you encounter on each route. Using SOS-Chaining would mean, that you encounter more Pokemon until you get one that has an Ability you want. But that's not really the point of a Nuzlocke. Obviously you can play with whatever ruleset you want at the end, but SOS-Chains are kinda agains the First-Encounter-Rule in my eyes

    • @NuzlockeJoe
      @NuzlockeJoe  6 месяцев назад

      Yeah I know many people frown on that, since technically SOS chaining is not your first encounter, but I figured if I was gonna use alolan ninetails, I was gonna do it right.

  • @adamismagic1179
    @adamismagic1179 6 месяцев назад

    The reason why Hawlucha outspeed Raichu is that Hawlucha has a higher base speed at 118 and Raichu has 110. This is why I check the stats on every Pokemon I fight before the battle.

    • @NuzlockeJoe
      @NuzlockeJoe  6 месяцев назад

      That's true, but my raichu was decently fast, and had enough speed EVs to outspeed a regular hawlucha. Of course, that assumes he doesnt have a speed nature, or EVs himself which turned out to NOT be true...

    First time was Alolan Ninetails, I even bred a 5IV one for my eventual play through of the second half of the SV DLC. But surprisingly, my Spanish Alolan Muk came in quite handy in those SV raids. Has a weird nickname of Donpepes but he's cool.

      I could have for sure, but at the start I hadn't yet decided if I was going to allow piichu or pikachu at the begining, since he is not an alolan form. I eventually did though, and could have gotten one at the very start. But it all worked out.

    I prefer Alolan Vulpix (although I love them both equally), but I like Kantonian Ninetails more...
    Maybe it's because Alolan Ninetails' hair is all wavy and doing that Princess Celestia thing, but Kantonian just keeps it nice and tidy
    also Alolan Meowth is...kinda cute...maybe because it's just a grey meowth? (Alolan Persian on the other hand, looks more like hapsburg Persian with that weird head shape)
