Probably off to Gold, unless there's a translated version of Green out there without any fan stuff put in

Wouldn't be a Parasectbro run without a little massacre against the final villain team fight, would it? Ecstatic was behind a double screen so I thought he'd be fine fighting Guzma's Vikavolt. Didn't expect it to carry a super effective move, that was poorly prepared from my part.
The fight against Lusamine actually went great, until it didn't. We basically wiped the floor with most of her team thanks to screens letting Majesty and Mourning set up, but then it all went south on her final pokemon; Lilligant. Had to switch out Mourning because his attack was lowered too much by Clefable's charm and he had basically no hp, and that's when the killing really began. Shivering the Glalie was oneshot by Petal Dance switching in. Kraken nearly died setting up another lightscreen for my own Lilligant, but after setting up she hit herself in confusion twice due to teeter dance and died to a crit. Since I expected this to be a wipe now I sent Mermaid to do some chip damage with Aqua Jet before being one-shot too, then sent out Mourning to die next. Thank God she finally hit herself in confusion after the third set of Petal Dances at this point, allowing Mourning to get the decisive hit in.
What a disaster, but I'm really glad I don't have to start the game over at this point. Gonna have to rebuild the team again, so now's definitely the time to bring out our shiny Gengar. Gonna wait until I get some encounters in Poni before deciding on the rest.

P.S. With Malamar getting contrary superpower soon, what's the best move I can drop from his moveset? All of them feel important right now.

>>56096605
Congrats man! Sucks to lose Nidoqueen that late but that's a great team at the end.

Don't forget you can get a Metal Coat at the pokeathlon before the national dex for a Scizor if you want to keep a niche open for Fearow. Though you have plenty of good stuff to take her place anyway.

Sounds like a solid team.

>>56097795
The problem is that I have no good TMs so everyone is stuck with their level up moveset and the Casino moves. I also have no candies left and with the level 49 cap I am not sure they would have enough firepower.
Calm Mind Alakazam is definitely my best bet but I can't really set up on the first two E4 and I may be too underleveled at that point to set up for the rest with how frail it is.
I already used the Water Stone so Ludicolo is not an option. Also, Aron is Modest so probably not the most useful.
Also I am kinda stranded in the League at the moment so first I need to put a team together to escape Victory Road safely.
>>
>>56097952
You can trade shards with the treasure hunter for stones.
And just stock repels to escape victory road, iirc they keep out all encounters in gen 3, even if they have higher levels than your own pokemon.
>>
>>56097707
I agree with the other anon, that's probably the best team you can make out of this.
>>
>>56079656
Yup, we couldn't use any of the kanto survivors in Johto since the level cap was too low, but we'll be able to use both in Hoenn which is pretty exciting.

My three Pokemon poison team is getting shredded by Alakazam who outspeeds and one shots two of three Pokemon and the only one that can get a hit off can't kill it. Are there any solutions that aren't leveling up? All I can think of is a clutch quick claw.
>>
>>56098941
The BDSP E4 is extremely overpowered compared to the rest of the game, because that's the only teams that were changed before the post game, so you might have to rely on the quick claw proc.

We have now reach the vast middle portion of FireRed. Lost two of my reliable rotation pokemon in Celadon, one from Erika and the other from trying to capture Snorlax. It was a success though, got Snorlax with my second to last ball. If this guy eats it before the end I will be inconsolable.

Real talk I feel good about my current roster for the Elite 4, but Agatha might be my undoing. I snuck Bite onto my Jolteon (which made Pokemon Tower a breeze), but other than that I'm at a loss.

Thoughts on a nuzlocke where you can't battle wild Pokemon for EXP for each Pokemon gets an extra life? I tried without an extra life but it's hard to get enough EXP to replace anything that dies.

Truly a fate worse than death.
>>56105894
Smart, i usually chuck a quick ball at it.
>>56106587
How exactly do your mons get extra lives? Just one extra, or can you earn more? Regardless, i wouldn't personally call it a pure Nuzlocke, the death component is part of what makes a Nuzlocke.

>>56098715
Region Quest Update yo! Roxxane and Brawly were absolutely tossed by Grovyle and a Taillow that's chillin in the PC now. The May fight outside Slateport actually got us good because a few Pokemon overleveled and couldn't be used, so I was stuck with a bunch of normal types who were slow against Combusken. I used a Wingull and low rolled on Wing Attack which didn't kill, but Combusken was in Blaze range and crit us with a flame charge that killed. Swapped into a weak Electrike to Quick Attack, but it wasn't enough and got one hit. Static went off as Electrike died, and so my next mon could outspeed. Might've been bad if not for that Static proc.

Didn't have anything good against Wattson, but managed to get Shedinja, which Magneton couldn't touch, so eventually Mud-Slapped it to death. Here's the team I'm moving on Flannery with next.

My Inclement Emerald Nuzlocke continues... and honestly, this fight is always really tricky to plan for, but somehow we made it
It's hard enough trying to keep my side safe but Brendan's Swampert is at the mercy of Ninetales and Houndoom's Solar Beams, and I feel like who he targets (Excadrill or Ninetales) is also kinda random, since his only good attacking move is... Dig, of all moves
And I kind of just panicked a bit, switched Typhlosion not knowing which side Courtney or the grunt would target, and Typhlosion ate a Grass Gem boosted Solar Beam to the face for its troubles, and just barely survived
Idk, I just kinda winged this even when I said I had to like, really focus and calculate and prepare, but Multi Battles are just, gah
At least there's only one more and that's much later (if I even make it that far again), and I believe Steven should pull his weight better than Brendan
In any case, we'll be on our way to Mt. Chimney next
>>
>>56107836
Also just to clarify, Typhlosion is part Ground in this (hence why Solar Beam did so much damage)
It's a nice change, it's like having a Camerupt that can actually outspeed stuff

This is my team in Pokemon Black 2 so far. What do you all think?

I've started doing a Pokemon Black 2 nuzlocke and I'm already having fun. The rules are the same as usual. If a pokemon faints, it can't be used again and I have to catch the first pokemon I encounter in an area unless i run out of Pokeballs or i defeat it or it runs away. My starter pokemon is determined by the last number on my ID which was a 2.

I started of my journey in Aspertia City where I was gifted a Snivy from Bianca which I named Prince. I then caught myself a Patrat I named Alvin and Mareep I named Mary. I did try to catch a Pidove but it fainted. Mary was able to help me against the first gym leader Cheren where she used Shockwave to paralyze Cheren's two pokemon preventing them from using Work Up to many times which gave me the victory. I then also caught a Magnemite which I named SparkPlug and Mary evolved into a Flaaffy.

Any advice for this nuzlocke or the next gym leader Roxie?
>>
>>56106894
They got him. They finally got my Snorlax. Island Two with that fucking Cue Ball Biker got a crit Self-Destruct. Rest in Peace Chowder, you will be missed.

Magnemite will deal with Roxie just fine, the Magnezone line is one of the best for Unova in general.

finally got the time to grind up a replacement mon and fight Drayden. Jellicent carried me with a lucky stat boost from Ominous Wind right away. he has been a real surprising standout to me that I originally caught just to use surf.
anyway has been a mostly clean run so far but I know I'm coming up on the tough part of the game and it's been awhile, any tips for Ghetsis & Co.?

and yeah I know I should be using magnemite. but I just used one in hgss, and a shiny one at that. so I want to try new mons
>>
>>56110260
>any tips for Ghetsis & Co.
In your case I'd lead the Kyurem/Ghetsis fight with Emboar, since it should be able to beat it pretty easily and allow for a predictable safe switch into Drapion on Ghetsis' Cofagrigus.
Alternatively you can try to think of a way to start with something that can set up against Cofagrigus since it usually starts the fight by toxic -> protect stalling, but I'm not sure who'd do that well on your team.

There's like a 5% chance to get a Dragonair in the last route of XY and I think a 1% in one of the wild areas in SwSh. HGSS is the time to go for it if you want the Dragonite line.

This is my team so far. What do you all think?

So far as of today, I grinded my pokemon and I beat the second gym leader Roxie. Sparkplug was able to defeat all two of her pokemon by paralyzing them with Thunder Wave and she was no problem. After becoming a film star and dealing with Team Plasma in Virbank city, I took a boat to Castelia city. I tried to catch a Zubat in Castelia sewers but my rival defeated both two Zubats before I could catch one. I was able to catch a Pidove though in Castelia park, I named him Birdie.

Any advice for the next gym leader Burgh? I'm assuming his Leavanny should be no problem now that I have Pidove.
>>
I forget to mention that I lost Alvin to a trainers Eevee.
>>
>>56110623
sounds like a solid plan ty. and yeah I don't really have a set up sweeper right now. but I did grind out BP on the Pwt to get brick break on emboar, so that should help with kyurem and hydreigon hopefully. guess I will see how it goes tonight, this I've always heard is one of the hardest nuzlocke fights.

wait, is the 8th gym before or after Ghetsis in bw2? haven't played this in ages

Yay, I finally solved beating Alpha Sapphire with a team of littlemons. Rules are that there's level caps, no items in battle etc. Just legit little guys.
I have a few boxes full of these level 75 unevolved Pokemon whom I tried to use, but I finally found the team and strategies.

Clamperl soloes Sidney
Scraggy (pretty much) soloes Glacia and Phoebe
With the power of friendship we can beat Drake and Steven.
Finally, without relying on luck or crits or anything like that, this is a team who can beat the Elite Four any day of the week.
My goodness, the Frillish is the MVP. Scraggy and Intimidate Sandile too.
Im so happy I found the strats and finally could beat the E4 & Champion with reliable strategies and setup and the team ^^
I have a bunch of honorable mentions and memories along the way. Like when Ralts beat Mega Gallade or the deeds of my Wurmple.

Don't put Pidove against his Dwebble, though. Or else you're gonna have a bad time
