Almost also lost my Ambipom to his Weavile. She tanked a brick break with 1 hp remaining and in return took the weavile out with a rock smash
>>55961098Xerneas is a fine legendary, i used it myself in my X run.
Playing pokemon X nuzlocke. I've beaten Team Flare and my team is Chesnaught, Charizard, Lucario, Marowak, Tentacruel and Xerneas. Any advice for later? I feel like the final gym leader who got forget his name will be easy.
>>55963077Wulfric is easy as long as Charizard actually makes it to the fight, afterwards when you see a bridge on a route, you'd better be prepared for a gauntlet.
>>55963077you should be fine till the end of the game with that team
Pryce's Team:>ButterfreeOHKO by Bruce's Ancient Power.>VenusaurBruce sets up a Fire Spin, and from there, kills Venusaur with 2 APs, thanks to the first one boosting his stats.>CloysterBruce uses AP again, putting Cloyster at around half health and boosting Bruce's stats once more. However, Cloyster's Counter attack leaves Bruce with a mere 4 health. Despite this, Bruce's Thunder Shock attack kills Cloyster the next turn.Claire's Team:>CleffaOHKO (2 hits) by Terry II's Double Kick.>Spinarak2HKO by Terry II's Strength.>Poliwag2HKO by Terry II's Razor Leaf, thanks in part to a lucky crit after Poliwag healed itself with Moonlight.>CelebiTerry II puts it to sleep with Sing, and I switch to Ginko, who takes a bunch of turns to kill it with Pin Missile, thanks to unlucky misses and Claire's healing items.Not much to say. I'll return when the league is won.
>>559596255 turn rollout ftw
Holy fuck man, I died 8 times in Nuzlocke black 2 challenge modeThese fucking pokemon suck fucking dick. And seriously? A venipede using rollout is uncatchable?
>>55964308Unova doesn't screw around, they're plenty difficult even without challenge mode increasing the grind and adding mons to gym leaders.
>>55964308You got blacked lol
>>55961736With my starter dead i didn't really have any good counters for Palkia so i had to rely on Sonata and hope Palkia would mainly use physical attacks while i whittle it down. Sadly Sonata didn't survive the encounter but she got Palkia low enough that Drevun could come in afterwards and finish it off without further losses. All this for choosing the wrong mon to bench for mt. Coronet. Leveled up some replacements and took out the last gym. Just the league left now.
Yippie! Made it through the first game of the Region Quest, moving on to Johto now. Lost Hypno, Fearow, and Blastoise among the winners. All random crits from Bruno and Agatha. Had to resort to using Toxic + Double Team on Magneton to win since I was out of PP and didn't bring in any Ethers. I get to carry 6 Pokemon across to HeartGold, so I chose the three winners, an Omanyte, Meowth, and Horsea. We won't get to use the winners again until Hoenn because of level cap rules, but the others can really help in Johto. Moved onto Heartgold and got up to right before Falkner. Species clause across every gen/game in the run, so current team is Cynda, Sentret, Ghastly, Omanyte, Wooper, and Zubat.
lost my special sweeper in the Victory Road to the last trainer, with his last pokemon with only 1 hp left
>>55965978That's some bad luck. Who are you replacing him with?
>>55964308>A venipede using rollout is uncatchable?Don't try to catch pokemon in dark grass. There is a multiplier applied to the catch rate based on the number of pokemon owned in your pokedex. Early game it applies a 0.3 multiplier, making pokemon almost impossible to catch.
>>55966744got me a Starmie, altho I really wanted to have a fast Crunch + TauntFinal team + final box, I'm going in
>>55967304Good luck anon.
Is radical red possible to nuzlocke going in blind? I mean I know it can but I don't want to spend more time looking at spreadsheets and trainer guides than playing the game
>>55967408>Nuzlocking ROM hacks>blindThat's just asking for trouble
I've beaten the final gym leader Wulffric. For a final gym leader, he was way too easy. Gen 6 has some of the weakest and worst gym leaders. Charizard one shotted his Anomasnow and took out his Cryoganal and Lucario one shotted his Avalugg. I now have all the gym badges. I must say I'm getting a little bored of pokemon X.
And that's it! This E4 was a cakewalk; Kotori OHKOs both Sidney and Glacia, Keklol stalls Phoebe and Ai sweeps Drake. Keklol died at the end from a Milotic Ice Beam crit for the lulz, but it doesn't matter because Ai and King resist everything Wallace throws at us and kill in return. I didn't have to use Drop or Bubbly even once.I liked playing Emerald a lot more than LG; it really feels that the world is out there to get you and I lost quite a lot Pokemon just by chance. Very satisfying 10/10
>>55967703Yeah, Kalos is pretty easy aside from the random trainers, but you've still got one rival fight between you and the league.>>55968044Congrats!
>>55967408I agree with the other anon. It's certainly possible, but it's gonna be frustrating at the same time.
Bump.
I've beaten the first elite four member Malva. So Marowak took out Pyroar and Torkoal with no issue, Tentacruel took out Talonflame and bad a little bit of trouble and Xerneas took out Chandelure with no problem.
I've beaten the second elite four member Siebold. Chesnaught took out his Clawitzer and Barbaracle, the latter going down in one hit and Xerneas took out his Starmie and Gyarados.
I've beaten the third elite four member Wilkstrom. Marowak beat his Klefki, Lucario beat his Probopass but did nearly get taken out by Earthpower and the fact Probopass had the ability sturdy though Lucario still outsped and Charizard mega evolved and took out Aegislash with a bit of problem and Scizor with no problem at all.
Great job on defeating elite four member Drasna! Your Lucario's Dragon Pulse took down Dragalge, and Marowak's Ice Beam did the job against Noivern. Xerneas showed impressive power with one-shotting Altaria and Druddigon with Moon Blast, demonstrating the team's well-rounded skills. Keep it up! You're making progress towards the final battle.
Yes. I have finally done it. I have completed my pokemon X nuzlocke. I beat the champion Dianthia without losing a single pokemon. Though to be honest, Diantha was really easy. So first my Charizard used Fly to one shot her Hawlucha before it could do anything, then my Chesnaught goes up against her Tyrantrum which it those have a problem with but is able to defeat it using Hammer Arm and Leech Seed, Lucario takes out Aurorus with one Close Combat, no surprise it goes down, Goodra is defeated by my Xerneas, I then send Tentacruel up against Gourgeist first to use toxic spikes and then to use Slude Wave however Gourgeist uses Trick or Treat which changes Tentacruel into a ghost type and so I switch out and send Charizard to take Gourgeist and then finally Dianthia sends out her Gardevoir, she mega evolves it and I send out my Marowak, Gardevoir those get poisoned by Toxic Spikes and uses a Power MoonBlast but Marowak uses Bonemerang and takes Gardevoir out before it can do any damage. I beat Dianthia without losing a single pokemon and without using mega evolution.Six pokemon enter the hall of fame. Spike, Pyre, Bones, Redeemer, Venom and Harmonia.
>Vs Giovanni>Slaking(Lv53)Drizzle starts. Slaking hits Athol(Pelipper) with Play Rough, then falls to two Surfs thanks to Truant. >Nidoking(Lv54)>Nidoqueen(Lv55)Surfed.>Kangaskhan(Lv52)I send in Pantaloons(Scrafty) on a Double-Edge Crit. She then takes another Double-Edge Thankfully, Leftovers lets her get a Bulk Up in and still live a third Double-Edge, after which Drain Punch KOs Kangaskhan and restores some health(Double-Edge lessened the amount to drain). >Tyranitar(Lv58)It comes in, sets up Sand, Dragon Dances... and falls to Hi Jump Kick.>Flygon(Lv52)It Dragon Claws Pantaloons, who Drain Punch it back. Repeat once, and the battle is won.Compared to Blaine, this was a joke. Sadly, just after the battle, in the fight against the Rival's Mega-Venusaur, Hannah the Arbok fell. She was meant to be my anti-venusaur mon, but it had Earthquake for Coverage and took her out with a single crit.
>>55965602The fight against the elite four was pretty uneventful. Slepp soloed the bug guy, Tierna took out the ground lady, fire and psychic guys were a team effort. We almost shat the bed on Cynthia though>Fight starts with Dudu and Spiritomb exchanging paybacks and dark pulses>Cynthia heals once, Dudu would have come out on top but the last Dark pulse crits and kills her>Slepp comes in and revenge kills Spiritomb>Cynthia sends out Milotic>Slepp u-turns, i bring out Lionel who tanks an ice beam>Lionel responds with a thunder fang which leaves the Milotic with 1 hp and paralysis (rivalry is a bitch)>Cynthia doesn't heal and instead just lets Milotic die to the second thunder fang>Gastrodon comes in, i swap to Gower who dodges a muddy water>Giga drain leaves Gastrodon with red hp, it doesn't die to hail and hits Gower with a stone edge which luckily doesn't crit>Cynthia heals while i giga drain twice which leaves gastrodon dead>Cynthia brings in Lucario>I swap in Tierna who tanks a Dragon pulse and then DIES to a crit dragon pulse before she had a chance to attack a single time>I bring in Drevun who tanks a psychic and then DIES to a crit psychic>Lionel comes in and tanks a dragon pulse before finally taking down the Lucario with a thunder fang>Garchomp comes in>I send in Gower who is still full hp thanks to giga drain>She tanks a dragon rush and an earthquake before Taking Garchomp out with blizzard>Cynthia only has Roserade left, i heal up Gower and then take it out with another blizzardKinda forgot that Cynthia had a Lucario so i wasn't prepared for it. All i remembered were Spiritomb, garchomp and Togekiss which i guess is Platinum only. Bit bummed that i didn't get to champion Mismagius and Ambipom. They were with me from almost the very start. I can still catch them in other games but i probably will try to avoid using them if possible to increase the amound of different mons i end up playing with overall
>>55970836>>55971686Congrats to the both of you!
>>55971177I'm guessing you made this before Hannah fell. Who are you gonna use in place of her?
>>55973783Crossfit.I was already training her up before, picking her back up now.Good Venusaur answer too, overall.
>>55971686>Started a Soul Silver run>Mfw trying to grind out pokewalker routes while it's 30°C outside
>>55973935Good luck then!
I won't be doing a nuzlocke today or for a while as now I want to play Pokemon Emerald for the first time. What thread should I go to to update my gameplay?
>>55975254Kinda depends on if there's a thread up for that or not. You could always throw a couple rules on to your playthrough and post here.
>>55975939Theirs going to be no rules.
>>55971686Still have 1 pokewalker route to grind but went ahead and took out the first gym. Excited about the modest magnemite and kangaskhan which i've never used before. Smoochum is also a nice backup in case Vlad the gastly meets an unfortunate end at some point.
>>55975958You're at the mercy of the board then. There's nothing stopping you from making your own thread for current teams/playthroughs though.
>>55976210What's the order of games you're doing? One version of each region, then the other version, then the third versions?
>>55925058I uh...Lewis doesn't learn, and I am an instinctual moron.Got surprised twice by stronger moves, that's how I lost Lenna and Daisy. Lewis can't remember his type match-ups.Most of Winona's team went down easily, except that Swellow that got to max evasion, that killed four Pokemon, and Shell Bro and Nike Bro were at 7 and 9 health respectively.
>>55978165One gen at a time. Just alternating between regions so i don't have to for example do 2 sinnoh games in a row
>>55978380>17 dead before the sixth gymOh boy.
>>55978945Winona isn't the 6th gym leader? That math isn't mathing.
>>55979466Her badge looked grayed out to me, but now that i look closer I see it isn't.
>>55978421That makes sense, helps to keep regions fresh.
>>55961629Any anons have good name theme ideas? No basic bitch mythology/anime/celebrity/food/etc names please
>>55981434Elements in the periodic table
>>55981434name them after 4chan boards
>>55981434Star Wars Legends.
>>55981478No way I can think of fitting elements for pokemon, I’d probably give up after hydrogen/oxygen for water types>>55981496Not a bad idea kek>>55982655Actually this might just work, since I was just replaying KOTOR I and II anout a month ago
>>55982826Hydrogen could actually be a cute name for something like a Voltorb, since it is related to energy generation and bombs.Oxygen would probably work better for a fire type than a water type.
>>55963932(1/2)Will's Team:>Totodile3HKO by Melanie's Drill Peck.>ElectabuzzTrades Vine Whips and Surf attacks with Melanie, Melanie killing him in 3HKO'ing him.>CharmanderGets in a Quick Attack before Melanie OHKOs him with Surf.>AbraI switch to Bruce, who OHKOs Abra with Cut, but not before taking 2 STAB Psybeams and getting confused.>Noctowl2HKO'd by Ginko's Rock Slide.Koga's Team:>Voltorb2HKO by Terry II's Strength attack.>AriadosIt sets up Defense Curls and Safeguard as Terry II's attempts to put it to sleep fail. I switch to Foggy, who kills it with 6 Surf attacks (thanks to Koga using a Full Restore).>TeddiursaOHKO'd by Foggy's Dynamic Punch.>XatuI switch to Bruce into a Sweet Kiss. Despite the confusion, Bruce manages to to get an Aurora Beam off, which doesn't do much. I switch to Ginko, and spam Rock Slide as Xatu spams Recover.>Nidoran3HKO'd by Ginko's Waterfall.Bruno's Team:>Oddish3HKO by Lawrence's Bone Rush (8 hits total).>LugiaI switch to Bruce, who lands 2 Ancient Powers (the second one boosting) as Lugia puts him in the red with 2 Double Kicks and Iron Tail. I finish it off with Cut. as Bruce lives with 3 HP left.>WobbuffetI switch to Ginko, who eats 2 Vital Throws as Pin Missile does jack shit. I switch to Melanie, who is able to paralyze it, and take it down with 3 Surf Attacks.>MiltankI switch to Terry II (not wanting to risk a Glare), which pays off as Terry II eats a STAB Headbutt. After Miltank sets up Barrier, Terry II is able to 2HKO it with Cross Chop, thanks to the latter CC critting.>DodrioOutspeeds and uses Present, which fully heals Terry II as Terry puts it to sleep with Sing. From there, I switch to Foggy and 5HKO Dodrio thanks to Bruno's Max Potion.
>>55983986(2/3) [Typo]Karen's Team:>SuicuneI switch to Lawrence (from Ginko) and 3HKO Suicune with Giga Drain.>YanmaI switch to Melanie into a Glare, but she's able to tank a Solar Beam and kill him with Drill Peck.>LaprasI switch to Terry II, using my last 3 Cross Chops (only 1 hitting) to whittle Lapras down to a range where I could kill it with 3 Razor Leafs (one of which crits).>TangelaIt outspeeds, and uses Bubblebeam, leaving Terry II at 1 HP. Terry II responds by putting it to sleep, allowing me to switch to Bruce. Bruce 2HKOs Tangela with Aurora Beam, eating a Dynamic Punch in the process.>FlaafyI switch to Ginko, who 5HKOs Flaafy with Waterfall, it having set up Barrier and spammed Spike Cannon.
>>55983994(3/3)Champion Lance's Team:>CrobatCrobat sets up Amnesia as Bruce's Ancient Power takes off a chunk of it's HP. 3 Aurora Beams is all it takes from there as it unsuccessfuly bombards Bruce with Octozooka and Returns attacks (successully lowered Bruce's accuracy).>HoundourOHKO'd by Foggy's Surf, taking a 47 Seismic Toss and a Double Kick.>LugiaI go for another Surf attack, but it doesn pretty much nothing while Lugia's Gust puts Foggy in the red. I switch back to Bruce, whose crit Ancient Power puts Lugia below half, but it's Iron Tail forces me to switch. Ginko lands it's final Rock Slide, before Iron Tail forces me to switch again. Melanie tanks a final Iron Tail before killing Lugia with Surf.>Bellsprout2HKO'd by Melanie's Drill Peck, but not before Seismic Toss puts her in the red.>KadabraI switch to Terry II as Kadabra sets up Focus Energy. From there, it lowers Terry's defense by 4 stages with a mix of Screech and Tail Whip before Sing finally lands, and Terry II 2HKOs it with Strength.>CharizardCharizard's Confusion confuses Terry II, forcing me to switch to Lawrence. I spam Whirlpool as Charizard sets up Curses and fires off Confusion attacks. Lance's full restore ensures Lawrence won't make it, and it dies to one of Charizard's Confusion attacks. I switch to Foggy, who finishes it off with Surf.I took a break for a couple of days, but I'm back. I'm pissed that I had to sacrifice Lawrence, but only 1 dead is good all things considered. Gonna grind up FillmoreII, and get to conquering Kanto.
>>55976210Second gym down. Kifu bullied the Scyther into submission with Rock Tomb.>Serene Grace Togepi>Skill Link ShellderWinning.
>>55984098All things considered, it have gone much worse. Electabuzz is pretty good in gen 2, but my own had special attacks though.Of course Lance kept Charizard, did Gameafreak do this randomizer?
>>55984929I considered using Kangaskhan in a normal X run, but the mega stone is postgame only, so that was a deal breaker. How is she treating you?
Bump again.
>>55961629I want to do a nuzlocke of all of the games in a row, how do I get through the slog of 4 gen Gen I games in a row?Alternatively, are there are Rom Hacks that are particularly fun to do runs for? Was considering Renegade Platinum
>>55987146Only had her for a few levels but stat-wise she's pretty strong early on at least. Going to wait until thursday to get her a drain punch from the department store before tackling Whitney
>>55988708You could do a version generations order (as in, do Red, then Gold, Ruby, Diamond, etc, then do the second versions in gen order, then third versions).A lot of romhacks are difficulty hacks, and Drayano hacks are some of the toughest around. Maybe Perfect Crystal if you like gen 2?
Do you guys have any good nuzlocke YouTube channels to suggest? Primarily for infinite fusion, fan game and romhack runs?
Do you guys consider the Red Gyarados in the Lake of Rage as shiny for the shiny clause? I'm not sure, because it's guaranteed to be there and the whole point of the shiny clause, at least in my eyes, is to be able to use this cool rare thing you found.
>>55984098Janine's Team:>Dragonite3HKO'd by Ginko's Rock Slide.>VileplumeOHKO'd by Ginko's crit Fly attack.>ParasSee above (no Crit).>Aerodactyl2HKO'd by Ginko's Rock Slide.>Hypno3HKO'd by FillmoreII's Crunch.Brock's Team:>PiloswineOHKO'd by Terry II's crit Cross Chop.>Chikorita3HKO'd by Terry II's Strength, but not before getting in 2 Sand Attacks.>ClefairyI switch to FillmoreII into Bonemerang, only for Rock Smash to do basically nothing. Bruce comes in, and kills Clefairy with 2 Rock Smashes.>TaurosOutspeeds and hits Bruce with Submission. The follow up Rock Smash does little, so I switch to Foggy. The first Surf prompts a Hyper Potion, so after the next one, Foggy kills it with DP.>Ekans2HKO'd by Foggy's Surf.Gonna try to take the gyms in order of their level caps, so Surge is next. I'm not having many problems so far, but I'm still very anxious about the battle with Red.>>55989840Personally, no.>>55988748Good luck with Whitney!
>>55989588I don't have channels, but i'll recommend watching through Projared's Fire Red Nuzlocke.
>>55989840I'd just treat it as a static encounter at that point. You're right, shiny clause is if you happen to come across a rare shiny-- might as well go for it. But because this one is guaranteed, it's just a regular ol' Pokemon.
Not sure if this is the right general but was thinking of doing the ribbon challenge but I wasn't sure if it was even still possible with the recent changes they made to the online for porting across gensCan I still get a pokemon from XD Gale to current gen through transfers?
>>55991123Only if you have the transfer app on your 3ds.
>>55991123I thought Bank was excepted from the 3DS/Wii U shutdown? Either way, i checked and Bank still works for me. You need to have downloaded it before the eshop shutdown though, but i'm sure someone is working on a bank substitute if it isn't already.I'm sure you could find a Pokémon Bank rom online too
>encounter is a Mantyke>requires you to catch a Remoraid to evolve it>meaning you need a completely separate encounter to make it not uselessMan, what the heck
>>55991591I would just pick up a remoraid for the evolution and not use it, it's not that serious. or maybe it is idk
>>55961629Bumper
>>55991591I'd just catch a remoraid for the evolution and then release it. Same shit with pokemon that need to level up at mt. coronet to evolve
>>55990222Lt. Surge's Team:>Victreebel2HKO'd by Bruce's Cut (thanks to a lucky crit).>Pidgeotto2HKO'd by Melanie's Surf.>CorsolaParalyzed by Melanie's Glare, and killed with an Iron Tail (misclick) followed by 2 Surfs.>CaterpieOHKO'd by Melanie's Surf.>VenusaurParalyzed by Melanie's Glare, and killed with by 2 Drill Pecks.Erika's Team:>Diglett2HKO'd by Terry II's Razor Leaf.>SmoochumOHKO'd by Terry II's Cross Chop.>SlugmaCross Chop triggers a Hyper Potion from Erika. After which, Slugma is 2HKO'd by Terry II's Strength.>KinglerSafeguard blocks Sing, and Aeroblast leaves Terry II in the yellow. I switch to Bruce, who 3HKO's Kingler with Cut.It's been a fairly uneventful journey through Kanto. Gonna grind my team a bit on Victory Road before taking on Sabrina.>>55991591I'd just do what the other guys said, or just evolve it with PKHX if on ROM.
>>55965978Region Quest Nuzlocke Update, moved on to HeartGold for our second game and got tossed a bit on Bugsy. Forgot that Rock doesn't resist bug, so despite bringing Omanyte over from Fire Red, it got one hit by U-Turn and we lost our Furret as well. Was a little worried going into Whitney (still haven't done the fight) but our lucky pickup of Nidoqueen should be able to 1v1 Miltank no problem.
>>55991591>>55992396>Pokemon needs specific move that it doesn't learn naturally to evolve Hate this shit
>>55993120It's pretty awful in the Alola games especially, where the move reminder is literally at the end of the game.
>>559849294 gyms down. Kifu has been absolutely demolishing every opponent. Very fortunate she's a female so Miltanks attract didn't work either.

>>55995718Forgot the image
>>55993120It's even worse when they can't use the move effectively, scaling off the worse attacking stat.
Will finish Sacred Gold today, decent hack but every single fight leaves you poisoned, paralyzed or some other shit. It's just tedious and I can see why Drayano is working on improvement for it. Finished Unbound, Volt White 2, my next will probably be Inclement Emerald. Wonder if I will ever not use Crobat in these nuzlockes.
>>55996834>every single fight leaves you poisoned, paralyzed or some other shit.To be fair, that sounds par for the course for Drayano hacks. I guess SG is just egregious even for him.
>>55992543Misty's Team:>Ditto2HKO'd by Ginko's Rock Slide.>Phanphy2HKO'd by Ginko's Waterfall.>AbraOHKO'd (2 hits total) by Ginko's Pin Missile.>SandshrewOHKO'd by Ginko's Waterfall.Sabrina's Team:>SneaselOHKO'd by Terry II's Cross Chop.>Marill2HKO'd by Bruce's Cut.>KadabraOHKO'd by Bruce's Cut.3/4 through Kanto, and it's been pretty piss easy.

Melanie paralyzes Wartotle again, and I switch to Terry II, who 2HKOs Wartotle with back to back crit Razor Leafs.I think it's kinda funny Blue's ace was Wartotle, since that was his ace in my Red run. More importantly, Kanto has been conquered. I was level 53 for Blue, and this is after grinding in Mt. Silver. I'll fix some movepools, and then go fight Red.
>>55961629Hey bros, my beedrill just died. Who should I replace him with?
>>56001007Diglett
>>56001007Seconding Diglett. It's surprisingly quick and STAB Earthquake is always good to have.
Just finished Sacred Gold, it was actually pretty hard for me with all the status effects, plus me being rusty and forgetting all the moves. Next I'll do is White 2 hard mode, any tips? I don't like gen 5 starters.
>>56000969Red's Team:>PoliwagMultiple back to back crits from Terry II's Razor Leaf force 2 Full Restores and a bunch of Moonlights from Red. Poliwag eventually succumbs to the Razor Leafs.>StantlerTerry II puts it to sleep with Sing, and OHKOs it with a crit Cross Chop.>Raticate2HKO'd by Terry II's Cross Chop>Hoothoot2HKO'd by Melanie's Ice Punch.>WeezingAfter multiple failed attempts to paralyze it with Melanie's Glare, I switch to Foggy, who 3HKOs it with Psybeam.>VaporeonI switch to FillmoreII, who tanks a Confusion, and is able to paralyze Vaporeon with Zap Cannon. Unfortuneately, Vaporeon kills Fillmore II with Earthquake. I bring in Ginko, who kills it with a couple of Headbutts.Overall, pretty good. It sucks I lost FillmoreII, but I didn't have much of a connection with him anyway. I'd say the MVP of this run is Ginko, if only because he was carrying a Lucky Egg when I caught him. It's gonna be a slog to get through Johto 2 more times without one.
Imagine doing a Nuzlocke in real life. You ditch Pokemon after a single defeat and then pretend it's dead. Imagine the amount of stress on your team, them knowing one defeat means instant release. Imagine how other people would react to your behaviour. Would it end well?
>>56002367Falkner's Team:>Bellsprout2HKO'd by Drop II's Ember (thanks to the first hit dealing a crit)>ExeggcuteDrop II lands two more Embers, burning Exeggcute as it uses Outrage. I'm forced to switch to SORA, who finishes it off with Aurora Beam.Bugsy's Team:>DelibirdOHKO'd by Nidoqueen's Thunder.>Marowak2HKO'd by SORA's Octazooka.>SkiploomOHKO'd by SORA's Aurora Beam.It's going great so far. Got one hell of a team. I also found an exp. share in Union Cave. Not quite a Lucky Egg, but I'll take it.Also P.S, I caught Stoney in Dark Cave at lvl. 2, but I swapped him out for Cupcake II, since his movepool is just a worse version of what Austin III has.>>56002679Sounds like a filler ep from the anime. Ash would defeat your ace, and make you see the error in your ways. You will probably be league fodder later in the series.
>>56002679That's basically a more extreme version of Paul. Though that begs the question if a Pokémon has even been outright killed in a battle before.
>>56004333Yeah, Green's Charmeleon killed an Arbok in the manga iirc.
>>56000090Beat up Lugia and made it to the league but lost Klang against the rivals typhlosion, All my other mons were already low hp except Lapras who was still a bit underleveled so she probably wouldn't have survived 2 lava plumes hits so i either had to purposefully sack someone or gamble on Klang outspeeding, quick claw proccing or just flaout surviving a lava plume hit. Sadly none of these happened. Wondering who to replace him with.
I started a bw2 run, honestly have found it easier than I expected. I heard people say it's one of the harder ones but it's been pretty smooth so far. 5 badges down and only 2 deaths, which is good by my standards. at this point in my last HGSS run I had way more deaths lol. idk if I'm just playing better or getting better encounters maybeteam so far is>pignite >tranquill >whimsicott >sandslash >zoroarkdeaths were herdier and grimer

Fortuneately, Cupcake II's Thunder paralyzes Crobat, so I switch to SORA. SORA's Aurora Beam leaves Crobat with a sliver of health left, but Crobat's Dynamic Punch connects. Not wanting to take a risk, I switch to Corven and finally kill Crobat with Headbutt.Chuck's Team:>PorygonKilled by Austin III's Sacred Fire followed by a Magnitude 7.>MisdreavousSee above, except Magnitude 5 and Misdreavous succumbed to burn damage.Pryce's Team:>AipomKilled by Drop II's Bonemerang followed by a Cut.>ChinchouOHKO'd (2 hits total) by Drop II's Bonemerang.>VulpixOHKO'd (1 hit) by Drop II's Bonemerang.Jasmine's Team:>AipomOHKO'd (2 hits total) by Drop II's Bonemerang, thanks to the latter hit dealing a crit.>Togepi2HKO'd by Drop II's Fly.>Noctowl2HKO'd by SORA's Aurora Beam.Claire's Team:>KangaskhanPectra fails to put it to sleep with Sing as Kangaskhan charges Sky Attack.

I'll return when the league is won.Also, the mysterious egg would not hatch, so I opened PKHX, and found it was Mewtwo.
>>56004333In a war scenario, and maybe in battles against more extreme criminals. Remember the ghost of Marowak?
>>56005380Pastebin document says it's hard on hard mode, plus more so if you don't use exp share.

>>56004441Didn't Arbok just regenerate its missing half in that manga?>>56005380Once you get to the Team Plasma portion it should up the difficulty, Colress and Ghetsis are no joke.

>>56007633That's true.>>56007639The only gym leader i see giving you trouble is Blue since he got the memo and trained his team.

You always lose like half of your team unless you have something like a Manoswine that can just murder the dragonites with priority ice shard. Back to leveling new mons. Not going to bother grinding for Red twice so i'll end this run once i've cleared the Kanto gyms. Doing Red in HG.

By this point, Golbat's Outrage forces a switch to Corven, who finishes the fight with Rock Slide..I love these dinos so much. Gonna try and take Crystal slower, since I just blitzed through this run completely. I'd say Austin was definitely the MVP of the run. He just completely shit on everything.
>>56010572Falkner's Team:>MisdreavousDruvi is able to confuse it with Supersonic, and bring it down to a fraction of it's health with a crit Aeroblast followed by a Vine Whip, but Psybeam confuses Druvi and forces a switch into Puffy, who eats a Rolling Kick before killing it with Thunderbolt.>OmantyePuffy survives Omantye's Mach Punch with 1 HP before OHKOing it with a crit Thunderbolt.Bugsy's Team:>RemoraidOHKO'd by Puffy's crit Thunderbolt>Rhydon2HKO'd by Battlekat's Water Gun.>StarmiePuffy softens it up with Thunderbolt, before being poisoned and put in the red by Sludge.

Ultimately, Piper kills Girafarig with a combination of Cut and Solar Beam.>Oddish3HKO'd by Artura's Ancient Power.Could be worse. I'm disappointed I lost Duvi so early, but I suspected it was gonna die young anyway. I'm excited for the prospect of having a Farfetch'd with a Stick, since the odds that I'd find a Stick and catch a Farfetch'd are probably low. I also found a Lucky Egg in Union Cave, so grinding won't be too much of a slog. As for my future plans, I found a Thunderstone on Droopy, and plan on using it on Puffy around the time I fight Claire.>>56008842That's unfortunate, anon. Good luck with Kanto.
>>56010548>>56011256I keep mistaking you gor a single person, with both of you running Johto.
>>56011789Did you respond to the wrong person? I'm one person. I'm doing an autismlocke, and I just finished Silver, so I'm starting Crystal.
>>56011813I might have, which only proves my confusion. The background color of your run and the other SoulSiver run >>56008842 is messing with me.
>>56011256Wow, those deaths are extremely unlucky. I gotta wonder what Whitney will have on her.
Should I teach Reflect and Light Screen to my Exeggutor or should I only use one of the two?
>>56014603I ran Reflect on my own Exeggutor in a HG run, don't remember if I did Light Screen too, but it made an already shockingly bulky mon even bulkier, so I would recommend it.
>>56011256Chuck's Team:>Sentret2HKO'd by Artura's Surf.>DragonairArtura and Dragonair trade Ancient Powers before I bring in Sawpita, and kill it with Hyper Fang.Pryce's Team:>GloomKilled by Sawpita's Hyper Fang followed by a Sludge.>ElectabuzzOHKO'd by Sawpita's Hyper Fang.>SlowbroI switch to Narodi and spam Fly, hoping he can be in the air when Explosion comes out. Slowbro stalls with Withdraw, Amnesia, and occasionally Karate Chop before he uses Explosion, taking Narodi with him.So, it looks like I won't be getting a Jolteon after all. Still, I'm hopeful for the future. I also found a Fire Stone in the Rocket HQ, so if it comes down to it, I can bring out Droopy as a desperate measure. Gonna go grind Krobina, and then take on Jasmine. Here's to hoping no more Slowbros from here on out.Also, I think it's worth mention I caught Sawpita, Selene, and Nirodi as Snubbull, Natu, and Nidoran respectively. It's not common to get evolutions in randomizer nuzlockes.
>>56008842Kanto gym leaders down.

Carried me through the entire early game and even helped take down Lances lvl 50 dragonite with outrage. Kinda fitting that she got to deal the final blow against Blue as well. Diamond next.
>>56017410And of course i forget the image
>>55992674Another Region Quest Nuzlocke Update. Cruising through Heart Gold. Took down Whitney, Morty, Chuck, and Jasmine in one streamWe got lucky with a bunch of trade evo Pokemon, so the team is looking insane going into Badge 7-8 territory. Assembled some real powerhouses
>>56017428>Adamant starly dies against the rival>Abra teleports away>Accidently kill the onix i was going to catch at Oreburgh Mine>Machop has no "no guard" and a nature that reduces attack statAt least the first gym and commander Mars went without deaths. Slathering some trees with honey and waiting for nightfall before venturing into Eterna forest. Probably also waiting until friday to try and catch the "balloon pokémon" before tackling the next gym
I just lost my Nidoking, I nicknamed him “Purple Guy,” to a Koffing that used Self-Destruct in the Pokémon Mansion) while level grinding.
>>56017410>>56017428Congrats on the win!>>56018052Is there a Sinnoh run that doesn't get Bidoof, Starly and Kricketot?
>>56018240Self-Destruct is always the move you need to watch out for.
>>56019023>Is there a Sinnoh run that doesn't get Bidoof, Starly and Kricketot?Probably not. Shame Kritekot doesn't learn bug bite in D/P. I'd happily put him on the team but having leech life and fury cutter as your STAB moves until level 26 is kinda aids
Someone give me a naming theme for a Gold run imma do soon
>>56021660How about song names? Or is that a bit basic
>>56020906Even then, Kricketot just doesn't have the stats to keep up, even evolved. Take it from someone who took Kricketune to the E4.>>56021660Darksiders.

>>56021867I should probably elaborate that Darksiders is a game series.>>56022012GameFreak sure does love not giving Pokémon move that they can use.
Okay I seem to have sort of wiped out in Fire Red because I forgot the door the rival was behind in Silph while underleveled. So I'm playing red version now :)
>>56022578Sucks to lose, but knowing your rival could pop out of any corner, not even to battle you sometimes, gave the rival battles more weight compared to today.
Bump>>56022012>Found a female CombeeLet's fucking gooooo
>>56024983You dodged the male Combee, i don't think there's a worse encounter than male Combee.
With the current team I have, who should get the Thunderbolt TM? I'm not sure if N is going to stay on the team, or if I'll drop him for the Snorlax that's coming up. I could just use it on J, but I also kinda want to save it in case I go for the Jolteon in Celadon.
One badge is down, mt. moon is completed, and so is the nugget bridge. But at what cost?Birb is fucking dead
Misty went down without a hitch and I got some solid mons beforehand.
>>56026070Psychic type is broken, in a good way, in gen 1, i would think Kadabra can perform just fine, can it learn the elemental punches at all? Those could make for a good Thunderbolt replacement.
>>56027287Not until Gen 2, unfortunately. I have made a funny discovery though, so I've decided I'll be using it on S the Snorlax, who has Amnesia.
>Electrode lives a +2 Ice Beam on like 1 HP and crit explodes SnorlaxI HATE EXPLOSION I HATE EXPLOSION I HATE EXPLOSION
Silph was a bloodbath, and I regret wasting the time to get Y up to Poliwrath because he got instagibbed by Blue's Alakazam. But hey, at least with Surf I have access to a definitely legitimate supply of rare candies that's definitely not a glitch.
Elite 4 and Champion done! J swept Bruno, and Agatha, N cleaned out Lorelei, and Y cleared out Lance. F set up Agility on Blue's Pidgeot, before killing it and his Alakazam with Drill Pecks. Rhydon came out, and Y switched in, taking a Leer before killing it and the Exeggutor with a Blizzzard apiece. Gyarados comes in and kills with a Hyper Beam, and I bring F back in to kit it with a Double Edge, which gets 256'd and F dies to another Hyper Beam. N comes in and kills it with a Thunder, then as Charizard comes in, I click the kill button and Explode, killing both N and Charizard, earning me the Championship.
>>56018052Peppin the Mothim got a hidden power that was super effective against grass types so he ended up sweeping the entire gym. Smoratha took out Jupiter with power gem spam.>>56028657Congratz, anon
>>56027784Did you even get to give Thunderbolt to Snorlax? I also hate Explosion.
>>56028657Congrats!
>>56029444Do you know what type Hidden Power is?
>>56029444>Catch mime jr. and a barboach>Game is unable to save and tells me to restart 3ds and remove & reattach the cartridgeI guess i can just go catch them again but they wont be the same pokemon>>56031726bug/flying/fire since it's also not very effective against rock types. Never really used hidden power and unsure how it works even after reading the bulbapedia article. Does it have a chance to change to a different type after every level?
>>56032488>Does it have a chance to change to a different type after every level?Nah, it's essentially fixedSince it's dependent on your IVs
can you use gift/earned pokemon in nuzlockes? ie the gambling pokemon, or like the money trio in Unova?
>>56033105Of course you can. How I, and I think most people do it, is that a gift or hatched Pokemon counts as your encounter for that are.
>>56033105it's your run, you can do whatever you want. most people treat them as the area encounter like said above, personally I just count them as free encounters and not towards the area. just do what you're comfortable with
Surge and Blue were pretty damn easy. Hopefully that doesn't bode horribly for the rock tunnel.
>>56033572Also I'm planning on using PKHex to evolve my Kadabra if it gets to level 35. Generally in my nuzlockes, I tend to do that with trade evolutions. (unless they're item or pokemon related ones that I don't have the other components for)And I think waiting until 35 would be fair.
Got through Celadon and the Pokemon tower. Sadly I lost my other bird. Birds are prone to getting crit apparently.Also Marowak almost fucked up my Nidoking. Scary shit.
>>56033992Fuschia was pretty easy once I got Kadabra leveled up to 38, then evolved.
>>56033992Bird Pokémon are prone to dying in my experience, I don't know how many runs I did before one survived to the end.
>>56034662Yeah, Route 1 mons don't tend to last very long.Beat Blaine pretty easily, but gonna grind up for Giovanni and the penultimate rival battle.
>>56029444Maylene was pretty straightforward fight. Pippen took out the first 2 mons with hidden power (flying) and then Smoratha came in and grinded the Lucario out with gust & heal order. Sadly Smoratha leveled up while i was helping Rowans assistant get her pokedex back from team galactic so i couldn't use her against crasher wake which made the fight a lot trickier.>Pippen leads against Wakes gyarados and sets up poison powder before being hit by a dragon rage>Pippen uses protect while gyarados dragon rages again>Pippen uses hidden power flying while gyarados uses swagger>Pippen can't survive another dragon rage and a possible confusion hit so i switch in Alfie, Wake uses a super potion on the switch>Gyarados outspeeds Alfie and uses bite, luckily alfie doesn't flinch and gets to use a tail whip>Second bite flinches Alfie so i'm forced to switch again since he can't survive further hits>Rowley comes in and tanks a dragon rage>The poison has taken it's toll and the defense stat reduction coupled with a wing attack from Rowley finally takes the gyarados out>Floatzel comes in and at this point i remember that it has ice fang>Tutel probably can't tank multiple ice fangs and he's my ace for taking out the remaining 2 pokemon so i decide not to switch Rowley out>Turns out Wake is a fucking idiot and instead uses swift, Rowley survives and hits back with a wing attack>I decide to gamble and switch in Tutel who tanks another swift>Floatzel uses swift for the third time before getting taken out by razor leaf>Quagsire comes in and is unceremoniously taken out by mega drainThe gyaradosi(?) in general are a real pain in the ass for my current team. Lost Vivien the drifblim to one earlier.
>>56035181>Pippen pippen pippen while his name is PeppinTime to take a break
The championship is mine, but I also lost most of my team. Damn.
>>56035222They effectively replace my first 2 encounters in Johto with my interpretation of the generation rules. As effective offspring with egg moves and junk.Will use a ditto for the next gen to do this bit if I beat Crystal, though.
>>56035222What happened?
>>56036006Just a lack of luck with the Elite Four. Nidoking was my main piece for dealing with the rival, so it was difficult without him.Honestly should've gone with Thunder instead of Thunderbolt.
>>56036231That sucks to hear, but I probably would have gone for the guaranteed accuracy same as you.
Well, I lost my run in Shin Pokemon Green to Sabrina. She swept me with her Alakazam. I got done clearing Silph Co. and I got way too cocky after that. I should have gone to Cinnabar first and saved Sabrina for later. It was fun, though. I wanted to do something a little different and not just use the same Pokemon I usually do even though I tried to include as many of those as I could.My team:Lv. 37 ElectrodeLv. 38 DugtrioLv. 40 HaunterLv. 41 AlakazamLv. 39 VenusaurLv. 38 GyaradosBackup Pokemon:Lv. 40 KabutopsLv. 30 SnorlaxLv. 31 HitmonleeLv. 25 PidgeottoLv. 22 or 23 ButterfreeI had a few other pokemon I don't remember. My team wasn't that bad, I just got overconfident.>>55975254I'm thinking about Emerald as my next Pokemon game. I played the shit out of Sapphire in my middle and high school days. I hope it lives up to the hype.>>56033105I treated them as bonus/extra Pokemon that didn't count towards the encounter limit. I'll admit that I was being casual with my run.
>>56035181Gyarados are a pain in the ass in general, there's a reason it's one of the best Pokémon for a Nuzlocke.

YesSo I'd reset whatever fight and try again... then I'd still feel a bit guilty about it so I just start over entirely, since it'd otherwise bother me the whole time
>>56035181Took out Fantina but at a pretty bad cost. Gengar outsped Rowley & got him with a crit and then i ended up failing every confusion coin flip against Mismagius>>56038679>Do you play on emulator or hardware?Hardware>Do you use speedup functions?No>Do you use Rare Candies to skip grinding sections?Only the ones i pickup throughout the game>Do you use legendaries?

>>56039606At least it wasn't an infatuation check, you may as well have thrown in the towel if that were the case.
blaze black 2 redux fucked up bruh
>>56040406Maybe it's to guarantee Sqwk goes first with Duel Chop or Payback?
Thread question: what's your favorite and least favorite starter to use?
>>56039606>"Alright Quert finally evolved! It's his time to shine against Byron.">Fails to even take out the bronzor before hitting himself in confusion twice & being put to sleepEmbarrassing. At least Pindor proved himself by coming in afterwards and taking everything out with crunch & surf. Gonna farm some heart scales and do some move tutoring before travelling north for the seventh gym>>56042703I don't really have any favourites or least favourites. Usually just use the last number of the trainer id to pick myself a random starter.
>>56043004In his defense, Bronzor is a very good tank in gen 4 due to its typing, Psychic/Steel is tough to deal with.
What's your favorite edgy Nuzlocke writer?
>>56017517Oh god the random crits continue, we had three in one fight. Lost Pokeabbie to a crit pursuit in Rocket base, Frost to a crit Blizzard from Pryce, and LuneFlora to a crit bubblebeam from a random Clair trainer. We managed to scrape through with reserves and tactical sacrifices, but now I'm cooking the Elite Four team out of what's left. Pictured here will probably be the final squad once fully evolved.
>>56044788What the hell am i reading?>>56045008>WobbuffetInteresting, what's the plan?
>>56042703In Nuzlocke terms, probably Chikorita. I like it's duel screen support, but Totodile and Cyndaquil just dominate Johto so much better.
I was expecting to have to bump the thread in regards to new game news, but I guess not.
>>56048420Nah, Pokemon usually gets its own showcases, doesn't it?
>>56048426That it does, i guess i forgot.
It's been a slow week, huh?
It's too hot to play games
Do you count Wormadan as 1 or 3 different pokémon for champion clause?
>>56053849Isn't the change between the Wormadam forms only cosmetic? I would count it as 1 on that case.
>>56053849Just the one, even if it's got different forms.
>>56053849I'd say 3. They have different types, movepools, and stat distributions.
Just beat Misty. Not sure when I'll evolve Velvet Elvis. Is 34 too far to wait for free Body Slam?
>>56055456Damn, this stings. Losing S to an explosion didn't hurt this much, since I wasn't attached yet.
>>56055456I think it's worth it to wait, Body Slam has better power amd accuracy than Jigglypuff's other moves.
>>56043004Quert ended up redeeming himself by soloing the ice gym. Lost Pindor against Cyrus and caught a mantyke as a replacement. Now just doing a training arc at the iron island before tackling the last gym and pokemon league
>>56056431>Finally get razor claw so i can evolve Spike the Sneasel>Nothing happensTurns out 20:00 is apparently not night enough for this needy bitch. Guess i'll try again at midnight
>>56057197That should be the correct time, though. Did you level Sneasal up while holding the claw?
>>56058160Yes. Only worked after 22:00
Rom site provided in op has downloads taken down by NoA. Is there another option or do I just use wayback?
>>56058171Weird. Either you're in a slightly different time zone or your clock is behind.>>56058235Which site exactly?I don't think it would be too hard to find a rom of the game you want, but if you want to be sure it's safe i'd probably try the wayback machine.
>>56058301Vimm’s Lair is what’s linked in the pastebin
>>56058317I guess you could get lucky and they determine there's no threat to putting the roms backs up, but i would probably payback or search around for a different rom site.
>>56059011Nah, the first takedown got circulated enough that NoA actually set on this time. Nowadays, you need to use, may Allah forgive me for uttering this word, r*ddit.
>>56059706Really? Damn, i just can't comprehend simping for a company so hard you get fan stuff taken down for free.
That was a fast fucking rat, RIP Taco Grande. I also managed to avoid the biggest punish I've seen in forever when I forgot that She Drives Me Crazy has like 65 base speed and could not outspeed Red's Gyarados, only for the Hydro Pump that would have killed her dead to whiff.>>56060249Yeah, but I'm not surprised. Brands into religions and all that.
>>56060366And Blue is done! Lorelei was handled by Pretty Fly for a Rabbi's Psychic, Twister's Sleep Powder and Mega Drain, and Velvet Elvis' Body Slam and Fire Blast. Bruno and Agatha aren't worth mentioning, since I had a psychic, and Skipper Dan manhandled Lance thanks to Blizzard. She Drives Like Crazy then took down Red all by herself, since he decided that having Gyarados use Leer was the play when I left her in to get a free switch. A Swords Dance on Pidgeot, and everything goes down in one hit. This was shockingly easier than the Red run was. Maybe Blastoise is the better starter after all.
>>55961629Starting Volt White run today.Time to do another round1 Fire2-3 Normal4 Water5 Poison6 Grass7 Bug8 Ground/Rock9-0 rerolldubs - first reply decides
>>56060499Charizard is basically hard mode, plus Sandslash is fun to use thanks to its speed and Slash letting it crit everything.

No real MVP on this run. Really glad Pippen the Mothim survived the entire run though. He was nice early on but in the end game he was constantly in the risk of dying to a stiff breeze (72 spdef at level 65). Heart gold next
>>56062748Congrats!
Does anyone actually see this guy's posts or do they get deleted quick enough usually?
>>56064812dude this vore garbage will sit up for hours, jannies don't care about this board
>>56064859quit feeding him, he'll fuck off if we don't feed his autism
>>56062748First gym down. Farmed the pokewalker routes while i was still playing diamond. Missy the smoochum is going to sit in the box for now since she's so damn frail. Bubbles the poliwag also has no water type move because the pokewalker version has belly drum for some reason. Hoping Nellie armed with bullet seed will carry me through union cave
>>56064834I've seen it get deleted pretty quickly, actually.>>56065481Certain Pokewalker mons get a special move, i know you can get a Self-Destruct Munchlax somehow.
>>56065481Pango the sandshrew soloed the second gym with defense curl & rock tomb. Sadly i lost some mons against Whitneys Miltank. Ippazz the voltorb wasn't on my team for long but he did get a screech and 2 static procs on the miltank which let me to grind it down with Siri, Basco and Pango. Losing the adamant Furret kinda stings too. On the bright side i did catch a technician scyther from the bug catching contest so she is probably getting added on the team now.>>56060499Congratz anon
Man I wish the nuzlocke tracker wasn’t dead
>>56066817>Double battle against the 2 beauties on route 37>Clefable metronomes into an explosion>Starter and elekid dead>Also lost Skiploom against the sudowoodo earlierThink i'm done for the night
>>55961629Hey guys, I started a nuzlocke where one of my rules was to not run away from wild encounters but I accidentally ran away, in other words cheated. It was in wellspring cave just before you deal with Team Plasma and the last time I saved was just after beating the first gym and inbetween I caught Munna and Pidove. I really didn't want to do all that again so i just deleted my profile in dissappintment. It would take me forever to encounter a Munna first in the Dreamyard, make sure its the same level, gender and has the same ability as the one I originally caught and also do the same for Pidove and I would also have to make sure that every battle with every npc between Striaton city and Wellspring cave went 100% exactly how it originally went and I don't remember every detail so unfortunately, I'm gonna have to start again.
>>56068124There's no need to delete your save, just buy an Ice Heal or two as a punishment.
just lost a zoroark. who should I put on my team for Drayden? I feel like I don't really have a good match for him. been a fairly smooth run so far with only a few deaths but I imagine these last few major fights will be tougher
>>56068927Magnezone could be a good add, another dragon resist is never a bad idea. I also can't not suggest adding Citizen Snips to your team
>>56068990yeah I was thinking of using magnezone, I was trying to avoid it because I used one in my last run but it's just so good. drapion might be a good add in general. I was thinking of maybe picking up one of the swords of justice too, I don't nor ally use legendaries but they don't seem tooo busted. maybe after another death.
>>56068927Magnezone is great for Unova, but Drayden has coverage for it, so be careful using it.
>that one Veteran in Poni Canyon outspeeding my Gengar and Zoroark>look up Trainer data out of curiosity>his Lv. 48 Gengar and Flygon in comparison to mine>over 230 SpeedThe fuck? I've also experienced this kind of unnatural strength from Guzma's Masquerain. It wasn't that fast but it hits hard enough to one shot most of my mons
>>56066817>>56067635The new team is slowly forming. Really bummed out about losing the skiploom and to a lesser extent my starter. Elekid at least i think is available either in B&W or B2&W2 but hoppip isn't available in any of the later games until national dex
>>56069748So to my knowledge, the Gen 7 games are the one and ONLY time where enemy Pokemon are EV trained, which is also one reason why people find the games rather difficult at times.
>>56070407>So to my knowledge, the Gen 7 games are the one and ONLY time where enemy Pokemon are EV trained, which is also one reason why people find the games rather difficult at timesWait, they ARE? Well shit, i guess those affection bonuses ("toughed it out", free crits, etc.) aren't there for nothing then. And even as far as EV trained stats goes, those stats are tad a bit too high for the specified level
>>56070469Now I doubt it's every trainer but it seems like bosses or even mini bosses (and I guess Veterans/Ace Trainers count as such) have EV trained Pokemon. But yeah, it can't hurt to EV train your Pokemon too, gives you a better fighting chance.
>>56070407I think Cynthia's Garchomp is EV trained for speed, but that's one battle and not regular trainers.
>>56069902I would be very pissed if i lost two of my team to Metronome Explosion, that's why i rightfully fear it.
It's been a bit, so... I've decided to try Inclement Emerald again, and I will keep trying until I winWattson was pretty straightforward, Typhlosion is part Ground in this so its Earth Power helped out a lot (even beat a Spd tie against Manectric), and knocked out Galvantula immediately to avoid WebsQuagsire walled Lanturn with Water Absorb, Blissey walled Rotom and stopped it right in its tracks (after Bronzong took a Leaf Storm and then baited Hex for the big egg to switch into), Luxray dueled with Raichu, and Emolga dunked on MagnetonI've sort of been on auto pilot for this early stretch of the game, which at this point is fine, and it's been deathless so farBut, I know I gotta actually lock in and think from here on out, especially the tricky Meteor Falls tag battle when I get to it, with the hopes that I get something good along the way
>get mankey just before mt moon>have the hiker down to just Onix>whiff 4 FUCKING LOW KICKS IN A ROW>Mankey dies to a tackleI love losing a pokemon to a 1/1000 chance, thanks obama
Here's hoping DK and Bowser stay my only deaths this run. Also, to people who use the UPR to remove trade evos, do you allow Pikachu to evolve in Yellow?
>>56073460How did Mankey whiff? Did it get hit by a sand attack?
>>56073780Low Kick is 90% accurate in RBY, for reasons related to fighting types not being allowed to be good I think
>>56074022So gen 1 jank claims another victim then? Damn.
>>56045871There is no plan! We'll use it to deal with something we can't kill otherwise probably. Will be going for it in a couple hours and updating after.
>>56074852Well, good luck then!
>>56075676>>56045008Forgot we had the Ho-oh encounter along the way. Elite Four weren't that bad apart from Lance who managed to kill Ampharos and Mamoswine, but we beat Heart Gold. The Elite Four survivors from both previous gens and a couple others came across to Omega Ruby for the Hoenn part of the run. Just made it to Rustboro to end this session. Decided to bring the Goldenrod Eevee across as one of our 6 transfers so we can use it in Hoenn.
>>56077147Forgot pic am dumb
>>56073558I feel like evolving Pikachu in Yellow is wrong, but Pikachu is also not very good, so i wouldn't be shocked that people do evolve it.>>56077147>>56077154I've never actually used Eevee in any of my runs, Nuzlocke or otherwise. So, how exactly are the survivors carried over? Because that looks like an average early game Hoenn team.
>>56069902Lost Tingly to the rivals Croconaw so decided to level up Dusan the ariados and Farlin the fearow just to try and make sure that i have enough answers against Morty and wouldn't end up losing more team members. Ended up not needing Dusan since Saravin cleared all the gastlies and haunters while Farlin soloed the gengar.>>56072202Yeah, i was fuming about it for a few days but i'm fine with it now
>>56078208Yeah I kinda made up my own rules for this one, I wanted to be "Ash" style in that he still has previous gen Pokemon but doesn't steamroll with them.> I get to bring across 6 Pokemon from each region, but it stacks, so in Hoenn I have the 6 from Kanto and 6 from Johto (if they survived)> Most survivors I brought across are the Elite Four team, so level cap rules means I can't use em until later in HoennThat's basically the gist of it.
>>56078911That makes sense. Most of your carry overs aren't usable at all depending on the region level cap, right?
Time for my monthly update! We had some trouble with Guzma but I'm gonna ignore that to focus on my first Kahuna fight without a loss, woohoo! Setting up a lightscreen with Kraken, then just spamming Quiver Dance with Majesty until we one-shot his team paid off. Kraken proving himself to be the lynchpin of the team again now that he's evolved.Widow the Ariados was honestly just kinda team filler until Shivers the Snorunt evolved. I don't think I've ever evolved a Snorunt into a Glalie before, but I didn't feel like waiting for a Dawn Stone and we already have a ghost type on the team anyway. Kinda interested to see how fully rounded stats are gonna work out. Next we tackle the Aether Foundation, then it's time for the final island.>>56078911Huh, that's a really cool idea for a run. I like it. Good luck with Hoenn.>>56078213Nice team, very cool to see a Scyther. Did you allow yourself to trade out Eevee to get Leafeon or something?And metronome explosions are the absolute fucking worst. My platinum run had fucking Dawn's Clefairy selfdestruct and take out one of my mons, happened like a year ago and I'm still livid.>>56073558I'd allow Pikachu to evolve, because it's just really bad and having to box your starter halfway through the game is lame.>>56070407That honestly explains some things about my run, I was thinking a few things were a bit too fast and hitting a bit too hard. I'm gonna blame it on that and not my own incompetence.
>>56080244Congrats and welcome back!It's been so long since i've gotten a shiny during an actual playthrough, i got one setting up for my next ORAS playthrough though.
Another bump.
Who is the favorite MVP of your runs?
Want to start gen V nuzlocke, maybe romhack, what would be some good Sp.def and def encounters? I want to try building (if I get rng luck) a balanced team. Last time I played it I used Boldore and Reuniclus for that.
>>56083953Crobat and Swampert. Crobat is pretty much guaranteed to get in any game and Swampert never does, plus is able to use few useful HMs.
>>56084233Never dies*
>>56083953Golem in SS is probably the hardest a mon has carried me. It can practically solo the entire game and I would've probably wiped twice without it.Slaking in Ruby might be the most fun MVP I've had because it's basically just a nuke button.Ninjask in Y is definitely my most unexpected MVP. It's surprisingly good when it evolves with access to pretty good moves trough TMs, and learned Baton Pass just as it was falling off which makes it a set up king and made every fight onwards a sweep.
>>56085495Another person that recognizes Golem as the GOAT he is! I think it struggles against Morty and Clair, but otherwise is good for the entire Johto leg of the journey.
>>56084231Cryogonal would make for a good Sp.def tank, but it's still an Ice type, while Cofagrious has very good def.
>>56087706Never used those so I hope I catch at least one of them, thanks.
>>56080244>Did you allow yourself to trade out Eevee to get Leafeon or somethingYeah. I tend to be pretty lax with evolutions if i can get it from another game in the same gen. Also had a magnezone in soul silver.
>>56087837No problem at all. It shouldn't be hard to guarantee a Yamask as long as you get Sandile.
Another bymp.
After a bit of a forced break I am finally back to this run and boy did I forget how unfun grinding is in this game. The wild pokemon on land are super low level, the water routes are super slow and confusing to navigate and the phone rematches are super inconvenient. Not having a flyer is pain, I don't want to have to traverse that one way loop between Mauville and Lilycove ever again. Its like those routes where designed to be as inconvenient as possible with all the random rocks, narrow paths and tall grass. The bike is pretty much useless in that part of the map. Even making it to the Victory Road felt like a chore. Admittedly, that was definitely my fault for being an idiot and using the Pokenav instead of looking it up online, but for some reason I kept getting lost around Sootopolis and bouncing between Lilycove and Pacifidlog. Manectric kept getting trapped and poisoned by wild Tentacool, forcing me to go back to heal before I could ever figure out where I was. Then, like an idiot, I kept fighting the Tentacool and went above the Wally level cap, meaning I could not use Manectric in the fight which ultimately lead to Ur dying to a Future Sight. It really sucks because I was looking forward to using Ur against Sidney and now I have to teach Flash to someone else. I really hope no one dies in Victory Road and the trainers there are enough to bump me into the E4 level cap because I don't want to have to train anyone else.
Every single hiker when they see I'm trying to level up a new teammate
>make a new version of the game>make gym leader weakerwhat did Gamefreak mean by this? At least Triclyde will be able to clean out the new Koga team too.>>56090336Damn, RIP Ur. Here's hoping his sister Wu makes it out alive. >>56083953Honestly, She Drives Like Crazy the Sandslash is the mon I've used that sticks out the most in my memory, probably because he managed to dodge getting murked by Hydro Pump twice in a single run, and the second time led to her sweeping the champion.>>56080244>Marowak knows TrashHe should probably throw that out somewhere. I'm interested in how Glalie does as well, since every time I've tried to use it it hasn't been particularly effective.
I've given myself a rule that I can't battle wild Pokemon except to catch, so only leveling up via trainer battles. Is this going to work?
>>56091169depends on the game, but you'll probably end up quite underlevelled.
>>56091182HGSS right now, I was underleveled for Morty's Gengar but I don't know if I could haveprepared something better for him.
>>56091169I agree that it depends on the game, but also if you allow trainer rematches.
I started an all poison BDSP run with a maximum of three Pokemon on my team, failing to realize the Elite Four have ground AND psychic type battles. I beat Bertha and thought I was out of the woods but now I need to think of what to do against Lucian. My team is Crobat, Tentacruel and Toxicroak. I could bring in a Gengar if things get dire but I don't want to back out of the Elite Four and beat the first three again.
>>56093510Can't Crobat just outspeed and oneshot everything?
>>56093753Not at level 57.
>>56091327Once you've cleared the Radio Tower of Team Rocket, you'll be able to rematch trainers. If you can make it until then, you should be able to make your rule work.
Doing a softcore nuzlocke (first encounter each area only, no permadeath) of Radical Red for my first playthrough to force some variety instead of just hunting for favorites and just hit the 3rd gym. Getting my ass kicked then this mfer mega evolves.My only ground type is a hippodon, great for switching in on electric attacks, but nothing good to punish with or pivot to after.Going to have to look for good held items or something, but tough since the dexnav won't give me held item info since I'm not catching anything
>>56093985>no permadeathIsn't that just a regular playthrough?
>>56094140Yes, but with catching restrictions. Not much of a challenge.
I guess this is what I deserve for leeroy jenkins it but in all honesty, I am proud of the team for making it that far despite being so underpowered and underleveled. Easily one of the most fun and intense E4 runs I had, every single battle came down to the wire.Wu carried the team hard, dodging attacks with the Lax Incense and Toxic+Protect every ace pokemon in the E4. Without him the run would've probably ended in Sidney with how little damage everyone else was doing and it effectively ended the moment he died. Pearl with Rain Dance+Ice Beam was not as reliable as I'd have hoped but it got the job done for the most part. I really wish Shell Smash were a Gen 3 move.Udki was definitely the muscle of the operation. Every KO Pearl could not pick up, he handled with ease. Pretty much the core strategy for every fight ended up being opening with Perl to take as many enemy pokemon as possible, switching to Udki to hit hard until he was in the red and then have Wu stall the last pokemon for the win. If I had to blame someone besides me for losing, it was definitely Rik. Pretty much every death was in some way related to him. He failed to kill Walrein, so I had to switch in Sol. He failed to kill Kindra, so I had to sacrifice Koa. He couldn't touch Whiscash, so I had to switch in Pearl and he didn't kill Tentacruel which lead to Wu dying and Udki dropping to red Health. I still have some mons in the box so the run is not quite over yet but I am definitely going to take my time with the grind.
>>56078213Scoured every route from lake of rage to Safari zone for new mons and then tackled Chuck. Saravin took out both of his mons with 1 wing attack. Probably benching Farlin the fearow since she feels a bit redundant when i have a technician scyther
>>56094376That's very unfortunate. Who are you thinking for your new team?
>>55961629>RunningStarting my first ever Nuzlocke on FireRed >Howvia Delta emulator.>How's the run goingLucked out on Route 22 and got a Mankey to pair with my Charmander. Two rattatas otherwise. Just reached Viridian Forest and praying for Pikachu>Weird RulesetI'm a long time player of the series. What additional rules other than the main 3 should I be using? what is a usual amount of visits to a pokemon center?
>>56090686Yeah, Triclyde wiped the floor with Koga. Turns out having 3 Venonat and a Venomoth isn't a winning team comp, who knew? Wario put in some damn fine work against Sabrina, too, managing to dodge 2 Flashes while setting up with Amnesia and sweeping the team afterwards.>>56094376Damn, seeing a party wipe always feels bad. Who are you taking in on the next try?>>56094419I love Fearow too much to want to box it, but it probably is just the correct play. Another fast mon is probably the best replacement, and given who's coming up I'd suggest either Missy or Irys.
>>56096083>Find a Weedle>Crit poison needle with poison effect>5 hp left on starterNot an auspicious start
>>56096083>what other rules?I typically use the dupes clause, mainly because I dont want 12 pidgeys and 27 rattatas, but also so I can't just get a billion Gyarados by fishing on every route. I also like Shiny Clause, so if you happen to find a random shiny you can use it.>what is a usual amount of visits to a pokemon center?Most runs don't restrict the number of visits, but if you want one I'd say maybe 5?>>56096103That's why you ALWAYS carry antidotes in Kanto.
Do you all play set or shift for a Nuzlocke?

>>56096090And Yellow is done! I lost Peach to Giovanni when she just missed the kill with an EQ and got finished off instead, so I got the Eevee and used Dorry the Vaporeon as the 6th.>LoreleiPetey one tapped Dewgong, Cloyster, and Slowbro with critical Razor Leaf, then put Jynx to sleep as I swapped to Mario.Two Thunderbolts apiece too down Jynx and Lapras.>BrunoFive Razor Leafs, Five OHKOs. Next!>AgathaMario took the lead for this one, taking down all of Agatha's team with Thunderbolts. It got a bit dicey when Gengar 2 put Mario to sleep, but a one turn wakeup saved my ass.>LanceWario set up Amnesia on Gyarados, who really liked clicking Dragon Rage. One Thunderbolt for him, one ice beam apiece for the Dragonairs, who I somehow outsped? Thanks badgeboost, and then one Thunderbolt for Aerodactyl, whoi landed a nasty Hyper Beam before going down. I hoped that Wario's increased speed would let him get off a Rest before going down, but a Hyper Beam sealed his fate. I swapped to Chuckster, who tanked another Hyper Beam before getting the KO with a pair of Rock Slides.>BluePetey took down Sandslash and Cloyster in one Razor Leaf apiece, then I swap into Triclyde for Exeggutor, who lands a Sleep Powder on the switch. I then stay asleep for 5 whole turns, taking 80% of my health from Barrage spam. When he wakes up, I OHKO Eggy with Drill Peck, and Magneton comes out. I could have saved Triclyde, but Fuck It We Ball demanded I kill with a cri Double Edge, even if it takes Triclyde with it. Then Dorry takes out Flareon, winning the run!
