16:55 Fun fact: you can actually decline the Lucario! I did it in a normal playthrough to see what would happen, expecting a dumb line like "The bond between you and Lucario is too strong to ignore!" but it actually just stayed there.
@@ShadowFlux I'm oddly nostalgic for XY. They were my first Pkmn games since gen 3 after going to uni where it was no longer "weird" to like video games!
I already love this video! Ground type is my favorite, kalos is so beautiful and the thumb nail really got my heart pumped! Keep up the good work silph! Love your work!
I think my favourite is dark type They just usually look cool. Look at Weavile, Yveltal, Zoruark etc. Although, I do admit that a lot of ground types look cool too, krookodile (one of my favourites), nidoking, rhydon, Zygarde 100%
17:11 Why wasn’t it in Galar?! Not even the expansion pack?! Decently strong Grass Type, pretty good coverage to deal with all of its weaknesses, and Skidoo is SO CUTE!!!
Seeing videos on the 3ds games is a nice refresher, so many hardcore nuzlocke videos are the gen 3 games and occasionally gen 4 and 5. As somebody that didnt start playing pokemon until Gen 4 and really getting into the games in gen 6 it makes me happy to actually see the modern games being played.
I actually just did a challenge run in Y! Yes Shauna says she’ll heal you, but you need to talk to her to activate it. It’s not like Gen 4 with partners and how they do it automatically after every battle, which is stupid
Great pokemon spawns, great location, an mega evolutions... but the characters... god the gym leaders, rivals, an evil team just makes an amazing game feel so bland, boring, an straight up goofy
I love the fact that his final team has my 5 favorite Ground Types, Krookodile, Flygon, Nidoking, Mamoswine, and Golurk, plus Quagsire, another one of my favorite Ground types
Not only prepared and skilled, you are super entartaining and able to provide contents in which there's so much effort. It's surely noticeable every video, 'cause it's special 💫
Nice to see silph finally tackling one of the 3ds games. I know X and Y are generally seen as really easy even by Pokémon standards, but they can still be really fun to nuzlocke.
It makes me very happy to see my favorite nuzlocke channel doing a nuzlocke of x. I'm currently doing a bug type nuzlocke and I'm happing alot of fun using button pass with swords dance and iron defense on Scolipede to swap into whatever I need to absolutely clean house
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m almost certain that the theme for this was Destiny, what with Traveller and Zavala, although why you chose it for ground types is beyond me
Another nice run here. Lot of options and seeing X again after years was good. Advertising was fun as always. Nothing I’d spend money on. But hey, getting sponsors for videos is fair.
Actually you have to talk to Shauna in the over world for her to heal you! I’m playing through Y since I got it yesterday and only just realised it🤣 great videos!!
Man, challenge videos make it look so easy. I'm doing my first nuzlocke of my favorite game in the franchise, bw2, and I've lost 12 mons by the 7th gym! Hopefully this B team will be able to get me through the rest of the game. (Magnezone is my carry, GO BROKEN STEEL TYPE!!)
I’m watching this at 4:30am feeding my daughter and you did the pronunciation of Siebold I nearly woke her back up laughing. Totally unexpected lol I love it.
Question: Did you have some self imposed challenge to use EQ as little as possible? Even with a type boosting item, EQ would do more than Crunch or Dragon Claw if both are super effective. (IE using Dragon Claw on Tyrantrum and Crunch on Chandelure.) Great video either way, keep on Nuzlocking!
The names he gave for the pokemon definitely comes from Destiny ngl Cayde, Xur, Uldren, Mara, Ghaul, Traveler, Ikora, Banshee, Petra And how unfortunate coincidence it was that Cayde also dies.
You literally deserve more!!! I will always like and share. Stay up homie your 1M will come in no time and with all the past content they will binge and it will all work out 🖤
Silph been a viewer for awhile, but I have to comment on my love that you let Cayde die to allow Uldren to live. Definitely haven't seen that happen anywhere else :wink:
This was pretty fun to watch. Don't think you did X/Y yet, so this was nice to see. Record's now 24/5. The shiny Nidoking was awesome to see, as well. I think you oughta try an OR/AS challenge next.
Your channel inspired me to do my own Pokemon challenge--Pokemon Y with a mono poison team. I don't think I was ready for a nuzlocke lol My own Nidoking is named Kaiser!
Loved the Destiny 2 naming system this time around Silph!!! Grinding that out as we speak while watching your video right next to it! Keep doin what you do man!
That's actually a hardcore nuzlocke I wanted to attempt. Thanks for the vid. Keep up the work, man. I really like people dedicated tovharcore nuzlockes
Pokémon X and Y I had been playing around with a rule set in my head for a while now, My idea tho for for a Hardcore Nuzlocke rule set (not mono type) with the obvious hardcore rules but since all the Gym Leaders have 3 mons and none use a mega. I was gonna do Gym Battles max 3 mons on my team and only able to use a mega in a battle where the opponent uses a mega
I like this, and implementing a rule where I use the level cap to match each level of the gym leaders mons too. So like 17,18,21 my level cap isnt 21, its 17,18,21 to match the leader.
Neat. With this, Silph only needs one type and one more region to go through to cover all games. He still needs to do a Fairy monotype run and still needs to do a run in the Alola region. Would be neat to see him do either of those two next, or better, both at the same time.
Would love a wonder trade hardcore nuzlocke for this gen. Not sure how active the game still is though, might be hard to pull off without doing a live stream where you ask viewers to spam trades. Would be lots of fun though.
Im actually doing a wonderlocke of this gen now and honestly, the wonder trade game is still pretty good! If anything it's almost a little better - I've gotten a few stinkers here and there, but I've gotten a lot more starters, breedjects, fossils, rare egg moves, ect. I personally try and do my part by breeding version exclusives and Pokerus mons. Still very viable in my opinion!
Me when you named Bunnelby Uldren: He's not doing Destiny names is he...? Then the Cayde came out and I knew lol Witch queen in a couple weeks, les gooo
Lmao all these jokes in between certainly add character to the run. And for some reason… I had a feeling you’d use a shofu clip when you got a Diggersby. Some memes become fresh after not seeing/hearing them for a long time. So as a shofu sub, I approve lol
This is an amazing video, like always I enjoy your content Silph! ( Silph, at 34:04 your mamoswine has 21hp but when switched back at 34:20 it has 25hp, might wanna check your splices)
Totally agree with the wish to ride a mamoswine in the winter! I live outside of Niagara Falls and definantly could have used one after the snow storm this weekend.
I love watching your videos while playing nuzlockes... the only thing that I would recommend to you is to use rare candies with each trainer at the league so you can be at the same level... that's what I do anyway, keep the good work!
I lost a shiny recently and seeing luck finally on your side makes me feel like I sacrificed mine to give to you haha. Childish, yeah, but it’s making me feel better. Thanks for another great video!
I love your videos, man. I can't understand all, because I don't speak English, but it's so funny to watch anyaway (And I love when I understand a joke) ^^ Keep the fantastic job, bro :3

In order for Shauna to heal you in the forest you have to talk to her. She doesn't heal automatically.
That’s what I was thinking as well.
I learned that the hard way
Use this church
and near the end of the forest she stops healing you
Which I find ridiculous it should be automatic only if your pokemon are lower than half life after a battle but that's just me
What an absolutely monumental episode for the hardcore nuzlocke series man, beautiful to see things come this far
I agree! X and Y had it's flaws (HMS) but they are some of my favorite games.

Although, I do admit that a lot of ground types look cool too, krookodile (one of my favourites), nidoking, rhydon, Zygarde 100%
So happy you used Destiny character names ❤️ especially with nidoking being Traveler is cool since people treat the traveler like a shiny
But hearing Ikoras name pronounced ick-er-uh was deeply upsetting 😮💨🤣😂
@@Skreemish Oh my gosh yes! Every time he said hurt my soul. They say her name all the time in the game. How do you screw this up this bad??

Cause gamefreak hates us
It's back in pokemon scarlet and violet
Got a shiny Gogoat full odds very early on when I was exploring areas where I was vastly underlevelled. xD
Probably best you lost Cayde early. Since it was male it wouldn’t become part ground type
Plus cayde-6 tends to get murdered forever devastating the entire community
@@skirtsftwleaving us hunters lost without guidance
I laughed maniacally upon seeing his Burmy was male.

Just saying, you mustn’t be looking very hard. Usum is a very popular nuzlocke game uploaded due to the difficulty
I actually just did a challenge run in Y! Yes Shauna says she’ll heal you, but you need to talk to her to activate it. It’s not like Gen 4 with partners and how they do it automatically after every battle, which is stupid
In a nuzlocke it's probably preferable, if you want your guts pokemon to stay poisoned, or if you want your dead party member to stay dead, etc.
@@matthijscalje4143 Not in the first forest of the game tho
I'm so glad X & Y are getting some love. They're super underrated
Great pokemon spawns, great location, an mega evolutions... but the characters... god the gym leaders, rivals, an evil team just makes an amazing game feel so bland, boring, an straight up goofy
I appreciate the Shofu reference "Diggersby THO!" made me laugh out loud genuienly!
17:14 As somebody that used one in their first playthrough of Pokemon X, I can confirm that Gogoat is indeed very strong and very underated.
hey nice name
I agree Gogoat is good
Gogoat goated
Me too!!! I love my Gogoat
It's a Grass-type Luxray, at least stat-wise.
Silph: goes with Destiny naming theme.
Also Silph: names early mon Cayde.
Still Silph: *lets Cayde die immediately*
Destiny fans: NOOOOOOOO
xd
😭
Just like the real one
Haha, I love these small chats you have with NPCs to turn the dialouge into something fun. It always makes me laugh! Great run, Silph.
I love the fact that his final team has my 5 favorite Ground Types, Krookodile, Flygon, Nidoking, Mamoswine, and Golurk, plus Quagsire, another one of my favorite Ground types

This run had four of my favorite pokemon on it!
Travelers loss actually made me say "No!" Out loud. Shiney King rest in peace

Cayde is what gave it away for me, honestly.
I picked up on this too and I went nuts about it hah!!
Xur made me wonder and zavala confirmed it for me
@@redglade3991 when he named his pokemon uldren I jokingly thought of uldren sov, then when he named the next one cayde I got that it was destiny too
@@Zacatito I had just replayed the forsaken campaign earlier today and then this video came out. I was a little too excited about it.
Kalos is one of my favorite regions, I love the selection of pokemon available. It was really fun to complete the pokedex back in the day
I was literally arguing about how underestimated this game is with the selection of pokémon available
So....who's gonna tell him that Huge Power is Bunnelby's HIDDEN ability? Lol! Great Nuzlocke. That Nidoran. Such luck. Lol!
24:38 was half expecting him to hit us with a “Did you know, in terms of…”
"Bun-l-bee" "kor-i-na" "i-kura"
Also love the names this run
Perfect how Cayde had to die to let Undren in
Thanks for making my Monday afternoon Silph! Gave the video a like
i love the length of these nuzlockes, i lose track of time when watching your vids. thanks so much man
Another nice run here. Lot of options and seeing X again after years was good.
Advertising was fun as always. Nothing I’d spend money on. But hey, getting sponsors for videos is fair.
I do love flygon more than most dragons but I really feel like it should be bug/dragon rather than ground

I love how he spent more time trying to pronounce Siebold’s name correctly instead of trying to pronounce Ikora’s name correctly.
Imagine almost losing a ground type nuzlocke to an electric type
In all seriousness good vid loved the destiny nickname theme
I'm still anoyed he was rude to Clemont
Absolutely love the Shofu - Diggersby reference, been watching him for a long long time, though not as much recently. Takes me back man.
As soon I saw someone get nicknamed Cayde, I knew what was going to happen.
I’m watching this at 4:30am feeding my daughter and you did the pronunciation of Siebold I nearly woke her back up laughing. Totally unexpected lol I love it.

Now that was a final team that can complete a day one raid. Great video man!
I sure hope you can but I'm ready to watch either way!
Killing Cayde so Uldren could succeed is some kind of poetic.
The thumbnail made me think we were about to have a shiny locke

4:54 she didn't lie you have to talk to her for her to heal your pokemon.
I was going to say that
The Destiny names were hype but I can't believe you wasted the legacy of Cayde on a Brumy
Fitting that Cayde dies first and Uldren remains standing. Loved the naming theme this time around.
Totally agree with the wish to ride a mamoswine in the winter! I live outside of Niagara Falls and definantly could have used one after the snow storm this weekend.
I respect you even more now. You're a man of my own heart; pokemon and survival tools.
This was a really fun run, Golurk is such a cool looking Pokemon.
Shiny nidoking is amazing this was a good run thanks silph for the entertainment. Hope all is well in your world
Really intelligent tactics this run dude, nice one

Omg
Destiny Nicknames, this made my day. Been watching all the Nuzlockes you did
