>>58511387The trainers are all in their mid 30's, so you could just solo them with Swampert, but be warned that there are a couple of Grass types on route 133, I wouldn't risk them hitting your starter even with the level gap.
>>58511862Haven't played it myself, but I guess it depends how many of each type there are and what types the bosses are.>>58510900>Focus Miss hitting more than onceWhat trickery is this?
I beat Clay!>Lv. 31 Magnezone>Lv. 30 Zoroark>Lv. 29 Whimsicott>Lv. 28 Sandslash>Lv. 28 Conkeldurr>Lv. 25 Gothitadidn't realize the last thread was in danger of dying until it was too late...
>>58516254Congrats! Guess it went smoothly since you didn't recap.
miraculously, I defeated the Driftveil Tournament without a single casualty. unfortunately, the game threw a triple battle at me and Whimsicott was killed. unlike Charles the Heartbreaker, there's no sign or warning that this trainer was a triple battle. it's a huge loss because I was banking on that Whimsicott to cripple opponents with Prankster priority. I wish I could fall back on Ducklett but in B2W2 you don't get Scald in Driftveil like you do in BW.>>58516976things were going smoothly for a while
Small update to save the thread.Made my way through the lakes, losing Blaine the Ponyta to Saturn’s Toxicroak surviving in the red off Flame Wheel then hitting Revenge. No problems with Mars or getting through 216 and 217. Caught a a Snover, an Medicham, and then a Sneasel at Acuity Lakefront. Working my way through the Snowpoint Gym, and making sure to not use the left stick to move so I don’t softlock. Should probably go back and teach Medicham Thunder Punch to go with Fire Punch for the few Water types in the gym.
I don't really have an update ready, but I don't want to do an empty bump so here goes: there's only 2 irregular trainers in Chargestone Cave (B2W2): a male cooltrainer and a female cooltrainer (better name than ace trainer). The male is the dangerous one: he appears after the long bridge that is being repaired if you enter the area too early. His is a triple battle so formations are of the upmost important. The female trainer is stationary and facing north. She's very easy to avoid but her battle is a rotation battle, so you can just solo all 3 mons if you have a someone strong enough. The other cool trainers are moving and not irregular battles.>>58517771dangit, you beat me to it. I was busy looking for an image.
I beat Skyla!>Lv. 36 Zoroark>Lv. 36 Magnezone>Lv. 35 Swanna>Lv. 34 Sandslash>Lv. 33 Gothorita>Lv. 32 ConkeldurrMagnezone solo'd her entire gym...
I had the misfortune of running into a Darmanitan in a double battle so that means Zoroark and Swanna are dead. Darmanitan switched into battle while Zoroark was underground with Dig, so I didn't even get a chance to react. Darmanitan used Flare Blitz on Zoroark (camouflaged as Magnezone) and 1-shot it. Swanna was killed by a critical hit Thrash from the same Darmanitan. I believe its health was also completely full. The foe's Excadrill was also on the field, so I prioritized it over the Darmanitan thinking Swanna could resist a fire attack. I'm going to stop here for today and sleep on it.
Unfortunately I lost Sharpedo and Duskull this morning. Sharpedo to a Swimmers Gyarados using Thrash and Duskull to a Ace Trainers Manectric using Crunch. So no dark or ghost types to help me against the psychic gym. I did beat the sixth gym leader Winona though. First Sealeo took out Swablu with Ice Ball, then her Tropius uses Sunny Day but Torkoal takes advantage of Sunny Day to use Flamethrower on Tropius and her Skarmory taken them both out, Swampert took out Pelipper with a few Surfs and finally Sealeo took out her Altaria with one Aurora Beam.Any advice for Liza and Tate?Also never played yesterday.
>>58518932Swampert is far and away stronger than Tate/Liza's team, but, once again, their Solrock has Solar Beam. Odds are you could one shot each one of them by focusing them down one at a time, but Sealeo is five levels from evolving. As long as you take out Xatu and Solrock before they sets up Sunny Day, you should be fine
I beat the seventh gym leader Tate and Liza but at a severe cost because I lost Sharpedo and Duskull earlier, pokemon that would have been good against the psychic gym. So first I lost Sealeo to Xatus Confusion and while Swampert was able to take out both Xatu and Claydol with Muddy Water, I unfortunately lost Muddy to Solrocks Solar Beam. With two pokemon dead, Torkoal and Hariyama came in to save the day, Torkoal took out Solrock with enough Flamethrowers and Hariyama took out Lunatone with enough Vital Throws. I may have won but I'm down to two. I was able to beat the leader of Team Aqua Archie though. Hariyama used Vital Throw on his Mightyena and Sharpedo and Torkoal used Flamethrower on his Crobat. Now that both Team Magma and Team Aqua are out of the way, it's time for the final gym.Any advice for beating Juan with just two pokemon? Or am I fucked?
>>58519518It's to late, I forget that Solrock knows Solar Beam and I lost my ace as well as Sealeo. I'm still down to two but I think I'm fucked.
How do I undo this?I haven't beaten Juan yet but I accidentally clicked mark victory on Juan when I meant to click Archie but I can't get rid of it which is annoying.
>>58519946 >>58518675Ouch. What a day. I'm getting a Trapinch for the next Littlemon team. A Sheer Force Adamant Trapinch. He will be supported by Trick Room Duskull I think. It never goes as planned
>>58517771Beat Candice, but lost Bruno to her Abomasnow. Blizzard froze Goku, meaning I needed to switch and things got hairy as I played musical chairs. Probably could have just gone straight to Hulk, but wasn’t sure if he would survive the EQ. I’m not running calcs on every battle.Now to Lake Acuity to save that chump Ash from Team Galaxy.
Randomized Starter Volt White 2 redux Normal Mode anon back again, got through Burgh!Run is feeling a little less cursed, Eevee potentially becoming Jolteon and Grimer w/ Black Sludge becoming muk are big gets for moving forward in Nimbasa.Just gotta get my team coordinated for the suprirse attack by Lenora and her husband in Nimbasa.
Well i just lost my Emerald Nuzlocke.I surprisingly was able to beat Juan. Hariyama took put Luvdisc and Whiscash with ease but because Kingdra kept using Rest and Double Team, it took forever for me to take down Kingdra and Hariyama ran out of PP, so did Kingdra so I had Torkoal trap Kingdra in a fire vortex using Fire Spin and finally Kingdra went down, Hariyama struggled to beat his Sealeo and Crawdaunt but managed to beat them by struggling due to lack of PP. Unfortunately at Victory Road, I would lose my two remaining survivors to Wally's Gardevoir that used Psychic and so my nuzlocke ends here.RIP to all the pokemon I lost in Emerald.I'm gonna do Platinum next which is my favourite.
>>58521611Forget to post the grave. Here it is.
I have more bad news: Sandslash is dead. 1-shot by a wild Excadrill's Horn Drill. At least I have an Excadrill now.
>>58521611I was gonna say, i'd be shocked if you pulled the run off with two mons. Good work on beating Juan though, and good luck in Platinum.
update to bump from page 9Hugh's damn Simipour burned my Magnezone on switch in. I didn't have any better switch-ins so I had to spam healing items while praying that Scald didn't get a critical hit, or else Magnezone might have died. Thankfully, I won the battle with no casualties.>Lv. 45 Cobalion>Lv. 40 Gothorita>Lv. 39 Banette>Lv. 38 Magnezone>Lv. 38 Conkeldurr>Lv. 37 ExcadrillI chose to use the Masterball on Cobalion. Cobalion was at a much higher level than any of my guys and I didn't have anyone who could safely tank all of its hits.I do not own a single Pokémon that can use Surf. please help.
>>58523376HM Slave clause yourself a surfer and never use it in battle.
more bad news: Conkeldurr is dead. it was a double battle with two Roselias. I guess I figured I'd be fine if I used double Rock Slide on turn 1 (the other mon being Excadrill), but those Pedal Dances hit crazy hard. There was also no way of knowing which of the two Pokémon the Roselia's would hit. At least I caught a Surf-user in the next area.>>58523684miraculously, I just caught a Golduck but I guess I would have to use HM Clause if it came down to it. in retrospect: Oshawott might be the best starter if I want to avoid using HM Clause.
Is there a challenge run where you can capture as many Pokémon as you'd like but you can only capture on per line and if they die you can't use that Pokémon line anymore.
>>58524015probably not but that's the best part: you can just make it up and play by your own rules
"It's been 3,000 years," indeed. I was a bit rusty after putting down the game for so long, and it showed.>Malva: Her Pyroar tried to take Maillot down with Wild Charge, but he wasn't having it. Rain Dance and Surf easily swept her entire team away.>Siebold: Maillot's intended purpose was to be a troll with Water Absorb, but I was the one who got trolled in the end. Thunder got a low roll, allowing his Barbaracle to Cross Chop my Lapras to pieces. Cestus and Mackintosh took revenge, Stickpin Crunched on Starmie while Siebold desperately healed, and finally Babydoll one-shotted his Gyarados, bringing this messy fight to a swift end.>Wikstrom: Ruff and Cestus held up well against most of his team in spite of the foe's coverage moves, but Aegislash's Sacred Sword spam nearly destroyed Lucario and forced me to switch him out. Stickpin was all too happy to make the ghost sword into another chew toy.>Drasna: Babydoll immediately neutered the threat of Dragalge with a Psychic blast, clearing the way for Ruff to do her stuff with Play Rough. (Also, Ruff's Quick Claw somehow activated despite being Frisked by Noivern?)>Diantha: Babydoll blew away Hawlucha and Gourgeist, while Ruff wrestled with Tyrantrum, Aurorus, and Goodra. Lastly, Gardevoir's display of Mega Evolution was nullified by a Cross Poison from Stickpin.>AZ: Not much to say here, but at least Mackintosh got to see some action.Now I'm off to Alola, once I give sweet Maillot a burial at sea.
>>58522496Yeah I think I was fucked when I lost Sharpedo and Duskull, two pokemon that would have helped against the psychic gym leader. Even Absol would have helped.
I don't really have an update to be honest>Lv. 43 Pawniard>Lv. 42 Excadrill>Lv. 41 Magnezone>Lv. 41 Gothitelle>Lv. 40 Banette>Lv. 36 StaryuI'm procrastinating at Undella Bay because I'm scared of Drayden
>>58524677I think it says something about Kalos' difficulty that you only lost one team member despite being rusty. Congrats by the way.>FriskIt identifies held items only.
I've just began my Platinum Nuzlocke. I picked Turtwig as my starter and I caught Budew as my first catch. I did beat Roadk, I had Budew paralys Geodude with Stun Spore, then I spammed Growth over and over again until Budews Special Attack was maxed out and then Budew took out both Geodude and Onix with Mega Drain instantly. Unfortunately Cranidos outsped Budew and killed her with Headbutt which upset me. Still Turtwig was able to save the day with Razor Leaf and Absorb.Also ignore the Bidoof, she's a HM slave or HM Slut as I named her, she will be used as a tool.
I beat Drayden!>Lv. 45 Virizion>Lv. 43 Magnezone>Lv. 43 Excadrill>Lv. 43 Pawniard>Lv. 42 Gothitelle>Lv. 41 Staryuunfortunately, Banette was killed by a critical hit during a random triple battle>>58525445that's unfortunate but Budew was probably redundant with Turtwig around. I've never been able to evolve the thing early, even with it holding a Soothe Bell.
>>58525426>It identifies held items only.Oh, I must've somehow confused it with Knock Off or something.
>>58524015You could probably alightly modify Oak's Challenge to do what you're asking.>>58525106>Magnemite line is back to the topAs it should be.
Turtwig evolved into Grotle, I caught a Buizel at the Valley Windworks and I beat the second gym leader Gardenia. First I had Grotle use Withdraw until it's defense stat was max and then I had Grotle take down Turtwig, Roserade and Cherrim with Bite, it was difficult due to Grass Knot but I succeeded.Any advice for Fantina?
What encounter in a given game is inexplicably based?>magnemite in bw2>guts tailow in RSE
>>58528098guts doesn't negate the attack debuff from burn in gen 3 iirc
>>58528207It does, I used a burnt fly swellow against phoebe
>>58528043I know you’ve lost at least one Pokémon, but how do you have only two Pokémon after two gyms? Do you have an additional rule that you can only use free Pokéballs or something? Have you just killed a lot of potential catches? Because Platinum has some great team members early that you just haven’t got.
>>58528303Because I made a rule stating that aside from starter, I can only catch pokemon that are part of the evolutionary line of characters aces. So like Roserade and Floatzel for example. Weavile and Toxicroak would also count.
>>58528959most jewish way to guarantee a gible:
Running Emerald, will Glacia's Sealeo encore or body slam Gardevoir after one calm mind? Only need to get to +2 to sweep, thorn between mental herb and lum/cheri.
>>58528967I've used a Gabite in a nuzlocke once without those rules.
Gothitelle was killed in battle. I knew Crustle was physical based, so I set up a Reflect and intended to switch out but X-Scissors was a critical hit, completely bypassing Reflect, and 1-shot Gothitelle.>Lv. 46 Pawniard>Lv. 45 Magnezone>Lv. 44 Excadrill>Lv. 38 BoldoreVirizion was also 1-shot by a Scrafty's High Jump Kick (critical hit). 90% accuracy and 130 base power with STAB is insane to go up against in a nuzlocke. I didn't have any answers for it. I erroneously sent out Starmie to try and Minimize out of desperation but of course it didn't work and Starmie was 1-shot by Moxie+1 STAB Crunch. I really thought I would wipe in that battle but now that I survived: I'm not sure if I can continue.
I beat Marlon!>Lv. 46 Magnezone>Lv. 46 Pawniard>Lv. 44 Excadrill>Lv. 43 Gigalith>Lv. 42 Golduck>Lv. 40 Sewaddlebut Cobalion was killed in battle...
well, the situation went from bad to worse. Gigalith is dead. It was against a Excadrill who had used Swords Dance. I definitely misplayed somehow but also, I didn't have a good answer for the Excadrill. I have no flying-types, and my team had multiple Steel-types. There's no way Golduck could tank a Sword Dance boosted Earthquake. I should have just spammed healing items over and over, healing to full health and abusing Gigalith's Sturdy until Earthquake ran out of PP, but I had forgotten about Sturdy in that moment; I'm simply not used to having Sturdy, but it was a lesson learned.The real bad news is that Pawniard is dead. Pawniard was my answer for most of the Elite 4. It was the stupidest mistake I could have done this run: I used the Colress Machine on the Crustle inside that one cave while I had Max Repel in effect. I had forgotten that Pawniard was in front of the party because it was at the highest level at Lv. 47. Foolishly, I decided to battle the Crustle thinking I had a type advantage when surprise, surprise: X-Scissor was a critical hit and 1-shot Pawniard. I don't have a plan for the Elite 4 anymore.>Lv. 47 Magnezone>Lv. 46 Solrock (LOL)>Lv. 44 Excadrill>Lv. 43 Golduck>Lv. 43 LeavannyI also completely forgot about Terrakion so I got a shitty ecounter in dark grass instead (Thick Fat Marill lol). I don't think this run is winnable, but I want to stick it out and learn as much as possible.sometimes I wonder, can I defeat the Witch's Curse?
How do you guys decide on what games and rules for your nuzlocke? I've never done one before.
>>58531710I try and play thr game i've gone the longest without touching, but there are exceptions. As for rules, I've formed mine out of a personal preference to use different team members each playthrough (so a series wide dupes clause), and a bit more difficulty in serious battles (no healing in battle of thr Pokémon is leading). For a first run, i would pick a game that you know well or FRLG, and with only the essential rules, maybe an HM Slave clause if you think it's necessary.
Buizel evolved into Floatzel, I caught a Gible at Wayward Cave that would later evolve into Gabite and then I also caught a Ralts.Any advice for Fantina?
>>58532831Bite with floatzel and grotle
>>58531273Hey now, you beat the first half of gen 5, you can beat the second half. It's not all bad, you still have Magnezone and Excadrill. It could be better, but it cpuld also be worst.
>>58533686yeah, Magnezone carries this run so hard it's insane. I don't know where I'd be without it.
Had an unfortunate death in Candice's Gym.Ace Trainer Sergio had a Floatzel, and Orphan the Crobat had previous damage. I wasn't sure if Floatzel had pursuit and didn't want to risk a crit Pursuit. Instead Crunch into an Aqua Jet Crit did the work. Checked afterwards and the Floatzel does not have Pursuit.Spent some time since leveling up Bald Bull the Rampardos.>Vs Candice>SnoverCharap oneshots with Hyper Voice>SneaselI swap Chelsea in on Faint Attack.It Slashes Chelsea, who puts it well into the yellow with Specs Surf.Candice switches Sneasel out for:>AbomasnowWho takes the Surf somewhat well.I send Wilykit in on Wood Hammer, expecting the Intimidate to turn Abomasnow into easy pickings. However, Wood Hammer hits for almost half even while weaknened and without a crit. The Hail from Abomasnow's ability brings Wilykit belwo half.I can't stay in, Wood Hammer again will kill and I can't kill first. The scary part is that my best choice, Charap, might die instantly if Abomasnow goes for Avalanche. However, I'm lucky, and it goes for Wood Hammer... which still does near half, jeez.However, all the recoil makes Chatter a guaranteed KO.>SneaselCandice uses a Full Restore, and Charap's Chatter confuses Sneasel.It hits itself, thankfully, and Chatter takes it out. Avalanche was probably the only Sneasel move with a chance to KO, but Slash or Faint Attack could have forced me to go for Vessa vs the Medicham. >MedichamInstead, Medicham just uses Detect twice, before falling to Chatter on the third turn.Wood Hammer had me shook.
>>58534474>crit pursuitsomething to be fearful of, for sure>no dupe clause>honey treesuh oh
>>58534845I'm honestly having a laugh at all my Zubats.
>>58528098Geodude in HGSS.>>58529036It might use Encore if it doesn't see a kill, but i don't know the gen 3 ai very well.
>>58528098Greedent is completely bonkers in SwSh. Orbeetle is also way better than it has any right to be.

emergency page 9 update bump: I'm battling the trainers on Route 23 for EXP before Victory Road when Metacross was killed by a critical hit Hammer Arm. I had 2 Iron Defenses so it had +4 Defense, but critical hits always find a way. it's actually over this time.
>>58524677Starting Moon. Bless Pikipek for having access to a Fighting-type move against Ilima.
I beat the this gym leader Fantina. Floatzel managed to one shot both Duskull and Haunter with just Crunch and Grotle took out her Mismagius with a few Bites but Grotle was nearly killed with Shadow Ball. Despite Ralts not taking part in the battle, it was holding a exp share and evolved into a Kirlia after the battle. I also caught a Rhyhorn which sucks.
i've been doing a randomizer no item nuzlocke of ORAS and i've been comfortably overlevelled most of the game but all of a sudden norman had a garchomp and metagross which had me sweating for the first time this game

one last late-night bump before I go to bedI realized the fatal mistake with this tier list: I stopped accounting for availability at some point.
>>58521473Randomized Starter Volt White 2 redux Normal Mode anon back again, Nimbasa City is done!The Lenora fight was managable thanks to Girtana and my Espeon is a fucking monster with amazing IVs that she delt with most of Elesa's team by herself before Hipowdown finished off her zebstrika. Feeling good heading to Clay's gym next. Maybe the curse of Girtaina has lifted?
Today has been great. Grotle evolved into Torterra and I caught a Croagunk at the Great Marsh. I also used a Dawn Stone to evolve Kirlia into Gallade. With Gallade, I was able to beat the fourth gym leader Maylene. First Gallade used Calm Mind over and over again until his special attack and special defense where high, then Gallade used Lucky Chant to avoid crits and finally Gallade was able to take down Meditite, Machoke and Lucario with one Psycho Cut each. I'm confident I'm gonna win.Any advice for Crasher Wake?Happy Halloween everyone.
emergency page 9 bumpno update because I just started for the dayhappy Halloween!
>>58537674Caph was really too good against Totem Raticate! A good roll with Arm Thrust allowed him to take out the fat rat in just two turns. However, he and his ally Rattata had lowered Caph's Defense enough that it was safest to have Tucana clean up afterwards.
I've had a rough day today. I did beat the fifth gym leader Crasher Wake but at a cost. First I had Torterra used Leech Seed on Gyarados while using defeating it with Razor Leaf and Toeterra nearly died, I then sent out my Floatzel against his Floatzel, Floatzel vs Floatzel, both used Crunch but his was faster, stronger and his Floatzels second Crunch landed a crit and unfortunately my Floatzel was killed there and then. I sent out Croagunj to take out his Floatzel with Revenge and to my surprise, Wake kept ordering his Floatzel to use Brine which Croagunk resists due to having Dry Skin and soon his Floatzel was out but I felt sad because Floatzels death could have been prevented. Finally Torterra took out Quagsire with one Razor Leaf and I won. Unfortunately I would lose more pokemon. In a battle against the Double Team in the foggy route, Rhyhorn was taken out by a Gyarados using Ice Fang and Croagunk was taken out by a Raichu using Thunderbolt. Then I also lost Gabite in the battle at Celestic Town against Team Galactics leader Cyrus who's Murkrow used a powerful Drill Peck.It's a shame because I was doing good earlier but now I'm doing bad.
>>58541007what ace mons can you still get at this point?>saturn's toxicroak?>drapion>magmar>elecatbuzz>weavile>froslass>lucario>cranidos or bastidon
>>58541630you have me confused with Conner lol
>>58541630I didn't realise this post was a reply to me but you accidentally responded to the wrong person though.I can't get Skorupi because I caught Croagunk in the Great Marsh and I lost Croagunk. I can get Magmar and Electabuzz as well as Sneasel and a female Snorunt, I can also get the Riolu egg. I can't get the fossils because they are Diamond and Pearl exclusive.
>>58542201You coulda caught Croagunk on the swamp route west of Pastoria and saved Skorupi for the Marsh, and you can still get a fossil from the underground
>>58542243I tried to find Skorupi in the Great Marsh but it was taking forever. They don't always show up on some days and I happened to encounter a level 28 Croagunk which is higher leveled than the Croagunks you can catch on the route next to Pastoria city.I never knew that about the fossils. I always thought Diamond and Pearl exclusive pokemon could only be found in that game like Stunky and Glameow for example.
...I made past Victory Road!>Lv. 56 Amoonguss>Lv. 55 Golduck>Lv. 55 Alataria>Lv. 55 Excadrill>Lv. 54 Golurk>Lv. 53 MagnezoneNext is the Pokémon League...
I beat Marshall but...>Lv. 56 Amoongus>Lv. 55 Golduck>Lv. 55 Excadrill>Lv. 53 MagnezoneGolurk and Altaria are both dead. Golurk had +6 defense, but Throh eventually got a critical hit and 1-shot it (yes, I was healing regularly). I guess using items counts as "moving first", giving Payback the double damage boost. Altaria also had +6 Defense, but Sawk got a Critical Hit with Rock Slide. This isn't looking good...
I beat Shauntel with an Excadrill sweep. The moveset they gave Cofagrigus is very bad and easy to set up against. I honestly should have started the Pokémon League with Shauntal first.
It's over. I just lost my Platinum nuzlocke.I did catch a Magmar at the Fuego Ironworks but while surfing to Canalave City, I lost my starter Torterra to a Fisherman's Gyarados that knew Ice Fang. Then in the fight against Barry at Canalave City, I lost Gallade to his Heracross and then finally I lost Magmar to his Infernape and my nuzlocke comes to an end.Honestly I'm really upset right now, Platinum is my favourite game and I wanted to win. I feel like if i hadn't of lost Floatzel to Wakes Floatzel and if I hadn't of lost Rhyhorn and Croagunk to that double team in the foggy route, then I would have been able to get past Cyrus and Barry without losing a pokemon because then my team would be more varied. It's a shame because I was fan having fun earlier this morning, especially when Gallade took down Maylenes team. I did have some fun though and wish I could have atleast gotten far enough to the snowy areas.My next nuzlocke will be either black or white 2.RIP to all the pokemon in the grave.
I beat Grimsley with an Excadrill sweep. Liepard is very easy to set up against. Only Caitlin is left...>>58542907sorry for your loss, brother.
same as before: I beat Caitlin with an Excadrill sweep; her lead, Musharna, is incredibly easy to set up against.THERE'S ONLY ONE MORE BATTLE LEFT
>>58543082I hope you win unlike me.
>>58543082You can do it!
I beat the Pokémon Black 2 Nuzlocke!I beat Iris with a Golduck sweep. I used 8 Rare Candies right before the fight to get it to level 63. I started out with Amnesia, but her Hydreigon was faster. I was still in green, so I went for another Amnesia and another, using the Sitrus Berry to keep my HP afloat. I was able to set-up 2 X-Speeds and 2 X-Specials against Hydreigon. I had to heal paralysis and use a third X-Special against her Lapras. If I had gotten crit even one time: I would have lost.The Hall of Fame>Lv. 64 GolduckThe Champion MVP.

I'm gonna try the post-games for White and Black 2, but without permadeath. While I do like to stick to the rules of a Challenge run even after the credits: I remember the B2W2 post-game being brutal from my casual White 2 run. It would leave a bad aftertaste if I wiped in the post-game.These days, I exclusively play Pokémon by nuzlocking, so it'll give me a chance to enjoy the game casually while taking a break from nuzlocking and see the Unova post-games I never got to play. I'll trade Pokémon between the two games just for some silly, boosted EXP fun.>>58543755thanks!
>>58541275Compared to the previous major fights, Hala wasn't too much of a headache. Deneb, Tucana, and Musca each had a turn smacking the Kahuna's team around. Once I do some cleanup on Melemele, it's off to the next island!
>>58543386Amazing that you won. Congratulations.
>>58544780thanks!! yeah, there are so many times I thought I would run out of steam because of all the deaths (14+).
>>58543386Huge congrats on the win! I knew you coukd do it! With all the bs you experienced, I don't blame you a bit for wanting a casual post-game. Just as a warning, don't go into Undella Town's first house willy-nilly.
I just began my Black nuzlocke. I picked Tepig as my starter, I caught a Patrat and I also received a Pansage from the Dreamyard. I did lose my own Patrat to a Waitresses Patrat using Bide but I did best the first gym leader Cress, Tepig was able to beat Lillipup with Ember and Pansage took out Panpour with Vine Whip. Afterwards I caught a Blitzle and then a Drillbur at the Wellspring Cave and Tepig evolved into Pignite.Here's hoping I win this time.
>>58545310If you take the time to grind up your team to be leveled equally, you shouldn't have ad many issues as you've been having.
>>58545285thanks!! I can't believe how many guys were killed by crits that run. and thanks for the heads up.>>58545310good luck!!
>>58524677Sun and Moon handholds the player like they are retarded. The most handholdy Pokemon games.
I beat the second gym leader Lenora, Pignite was able to defeat her Herdier and Watchog with Arm Thrust and I caught a Sewaddle at Pinwheel Forest but I did lose Drilbur to a Scientists Roggenrola that kept using Rock Blast which sucks.
>>58546429you can catch Excadrill in Victory Road iirc. methinks it should be good enough to handle the Elite 4, even without EVs. if you aren't playing with mandatory Dupe Clause: you can also catch another Drilbur in Charge Stone Cave at a much higher level. Drilbur simply isn't good, especially at low levels.
Littlemon team #36 to beat Alpha Sapphire E4 + Champ with a deathless & reliable strat. Level cap, no bag items, usual rules. Tyrogue is the last Fighting type I could use. It wasn't as bad as I had thought. Venipede has both Spike entry hazards. Grimer has good attack and nice moves. Oshawott is to sweep Steven. Mareep might be the best support I've had. It learns Eerie Impulse, Growl, Flash and has Static. No kills, but it almost carries the whole team.Amaura is the sweeper. A horrible typing combination usually, but not here (except against Steven). Learns Calm Mind, Iron Defense, Ancient Power and lots of other cool moves. Sidney:>tyrogue kills scrafty with counter>mareep debuffs mandibuzz so grimer can setup with minimize and acid armor and sweepPhoebe:>mareep debuffs banette, venipede throws all the spikes on the battlefield>amaura sets up and sweepsGlacia:>grimer kills abomasnow with poison jab>we wait until the hailstorm is over>mareep puts vanilluxe to -6 sp. attack>vanilluxe goes into panic mode and starts spamming mirror coat (lol)>amaura sets up and sweepsDrake:>mareep debuffs altaria>amaura setup and sweepSteven:>mareep debuffs skarmory, venipede throws spikes (toxic spikes only affect carbink here, so not necessary)>oshawott sets up and sweepsAll time KO top:30 / 30: Tentacool, Hippopotas, Rufflet29: Teddiursa, Rhyhorn27 - 28: Tyrunt, Skorupi, Pawniard23 - 25: Stunky, Gligar, Shellder, Bronzor18 - 20: Mienfoo, Anorith14 - 17: Gastly, Munchlax, Cranidos, Sneasel, Scyther, Diglett, Ferroseed, Machop, Amaura11 - 13: Pancham, Shellos, Doduo, Staryu, Wailmer, Torchic, Slugma, Riolu, Squirtle, Binacle, Croagunk, Flabébé, Piplup
>>58546429What a shame. Drilbur is such a cool Pokemon
Bump.
It's funny re-exploring Unova and realizing how many trainers I skipped because I was either too scared (Pokémon rangers) or completely forgot to fight them (the preschoolers in white) lol
I am so fucking spooked of fighting lucian lmao, I honestly don't see how to do this other than setting up on mime and starting a sweep the second the reflect drops>team
page 9 bump
>>58546994Yeah it's such a shame.>>58546517Against the rules, sorry.
I made a fun little goal for my post-game playthroughs: I will catch, trade, and raise new Pokémon and use them to defeat the Pokémon League rematches. This means the previous Hall of Famers will be banned for the rematches. I'll keep the 1st catch per route rule because more interesting to limit myself.>Lv. 47 Beartic>Lv. 47 Reuniclus>Lv. 37 Gyarados>2 hall-of-famers>eggI must say, fighting Black 2 post-game trainers in their 60s with Lv. 40~ mons is quite hard, even with in-battle items and the traded EXP boost.>Lv. 66 Sawk>Lv. 65 Uxie>Lv. 60 Steelix>Lv. 32 FrillishThe White file has it easy since most of the Pokémon traded from Black 2 are much higher level. I barely bought TMs in this file because I hardly have any money compared to Black 2.>>58550662oh right, you're doing that thing with the evolution lines. I forgot about that.
I just lost my nuzlocke.First I lost Pansage to a fishermans Basculin though it was technically killed by the Sandstorm and while Sewaddle evolved into Swadloon, I did lose Blitzle to a Harlequins Venipede using Poison Tail. I was atleast able to beat the third gym leader Burgh, Pignite using Flame Charge to take out Whirlipede and Leavanny while using Arm Thrust to take out Dwebble but later in the Desert Resort, I lost my starter to a Rangers Ducklett knowing Aerial Ace and I then knew I was fucked when the next Ranger sent out a Darumaka against my Swadloon and took it out with Fire Punch. My nuzlocke is over.It's a shame, I really did have bad luck. I was gonna do X next but I quite like the Unova games and autumn is my favourite season so I'm gonna do White 2 next because I didn't get far in Black.RIP to all the pokemon that died in Unova.
>>58551069Sounds like it was once right after the other. It sucks, but that does happen sometimes. Hope you're ready for White 2, it's about as rough as Black.
>>58551349It's more enjoyable though. I've had more fun with Black 2 and White 2 over Black and White. I quite like the part of the game inbetween the sixth and seventh gym.
Bump! I've been preparing for Lana's trial.
>>58551069Blitzle is cool but I've never been able to keep it alive. It's not strong enough to sweep and not tanky enough to take punishment. After a while, I just gave up on using it.>>58551465Don't forget Leftovers in the Castellia Sewers. I originally knew about it but somehow forgot it in my last run and didn't get it until much later in my playthrough. Good luck!
>Stone Edge misses 3 times in a row>that's a 0.8% (1 in 125) chanceepic
Just began my White 2 nuzlocke.My starter is Tepig again and I caught a Sewaddle and a Lillipup at Floccesy Ranch as well as beat the first gym leader Cheren by having Tepig use Defense Curl six times before taking out Patrat and his Lillipup with Ember. I would later lose Lillipup to a Youngsters Patrat using Bide but Tepig did evolve into Pignite before the second gym leader Roxie and was able to take out both her Koffing and Whirlipede with Flame Charge. That's basically it for now.Here's hoping I succeed this time.
>>58552882
>>58553530don't look at me like that; I'm not the seviper-cynthia vorefag
>>58553655
>>58553304Pretty good start overall, you might be able to get past Burgh with little trouble. You should try and keep your route 4 encounter alive, just about everything there is worth using.
>>58548879YEA MOTHER FUCKER COME GET SOMENO LOSSES
>>58555718too many ground-types lmfao jk jk congrats
>>58544484Pyxis got lucky with the Charge Beam boosts, so the battle with Totem Wishiwashi wasn't nearly as frightening as I assumed it'd be. (If you're wondering what happened to my money, I bought a bunch of TMs and X Items.)
>thought I could set up on Cynthia's Spiritomb with a fast Pokémon that has Taunt>she 1-shots it with a critical hitlol
>"BE PREPARED TO BE OVERWHELMED BY MY AWESOME POKEMON!!!!!!" >it's 6 Magikarp
>>58556367The Spiritomb is prime for setup, but you do want something that can A. Live a critB. Preferably heal back up after healingRest usually covers the second unless you have a drain move.Bibarel sweeps well in both DPPt and BDSP.
>>58556652I don't have anything that can survive a STAB critical hit Shadow Ball or a normal-type, so I will put that fight on hold for now
>>58546862congrats dude. I know you said its alpha sapphire but is it a randomizer run or a hack of some kind? I see a lot of gen 5 mons I don't recall encountering in ORAS.
>>58555718Nice
…
>>58556272Are you planning on using two Grass Pokemon in the future? I like them both, don't get me wrong>>58555718Cool team, gj!>>58556760Thanks! It's a regular AS rom on Citra Nightly 1776. The other Pokemon are traded in from OR or X & Y. I've only hacked in a Spearow, because it can only be found on a Friend Safari and I'm pretty sure it's impossible to access with my setup. I hope there aren't many other "only Friend Safari Pokemon". I don't even like doing the trading because I still haven't figured out how it really works. It's a chore, so I'll trade as much as possible every time it works.
>>58557062I see. I wasn't aware that there were other people who traded mons during runs besides me. very nice.
>>58557287Hmm. This is not a nuzlocke or a "run". It's one single save file to see which littlemons can beat the AS final gauntlet. It just has similar rules to a nuzlocke when it goes from Sidney until we beat the Champion. I started it as a littlemon nuzlocke, but with "I can save before an important fight but I have to find a deathless strat".I was playing this on my own for a while when I saw the thread and >What are you running?>Are you doing a weird ruleset? And if so, what is it?I guess it's a weird enough ruleset (and no one has told me to go away anyway heh). I'm not sure if I understood what you meant. But yeah, I'm not that hardcore to start a new nuzlocke run with these rules over and over again if that's what you meant lol
What's the easiest way to emulate X/Y on Windows? I looked into MelonDS and it said some shit about need Bios and Dios mío and because I'm a boomer I just dragged the ROM onto the .exe and it whitescreened and I said Yep and gave up.
>>58556272Oh yeah, I realized I didn't get the free Eevee egg from the Nursery. I hatched it in Paniola Town (not Ranch) so it would be "legal.">>58557062If I can keep them both alive, sure. I switch up my team members depending on the encounter. (Having a potential backup is handy, too.)
>>58557538MelonDS is for emulating DS games exclusively. Citra and its forks are the major 3DS emulators.
>>58557383oh, I gotcha; it's like an experimental challenge. pretty cool.
page 9 bump!
just finished platinum for my first nuzlockewhat game next?
>>58561042your favorite game!>but that's platinumyour second-favorite game!
>>58561045I actually never played platinumI played the shit out of emerald when I was like 6, then got back in in high school and played X/Y and S/M then fell off againthink I'm gonna play emerald next as I've read it can be difficult
>>58561075good luck and have fun!
Huh, never used an Oricorio before.
Today, Sewaddle evolved into Swadloon and later evolved into Leavanny while I also caught a Drilbur at the Relic Passage. I beat the third gym leader Burgh pretty easily. Leavanny used Bug Bite on Swadloon, Drilbur used Dig on Dwebble and Pignite took out his Leavanny with one Flame Charge.I would say I'm doing good.
>>58561200based Digger
...page 9 bump?
Things are good again.Drilbur evolved into Excadrill and went on to help me beat the fourth gym leader Elesa. Excadrill used Rock Slide to take pit Emolga and relied on Dig to defeat Zebstrika and Flaaffy taking them all out in one hit. I then caught a Ducklett at Driftveil Drawbridge and later receiver a Zorua from Rood, Ns Zorua so I'm gonna try and keep him safe for N.
I may have used up my luck.
>>58563640A smooth run of Elesa is always good. Now you just need to get past Clay.
>their Aipom for your Excadrill...in what world is that a good, or even fair, trade?
I managed to beat the fifth gym leader Clay but at a unfortunately cost. First I sent out Ducklett against Krokorok and used Bubble Beam but Ducklett nearly died so I had Leavanny finish off Krokorok with Razor Leaf and he also used Razor Leaf to one shot Sandslash. I then sent out my Excadrill against his Excadrill, mine landed a powerful Dig but his used Bulldoze and my Excadrill was killed instantly which really upset me as I lost a powerful ally. Pignite finished of his Excadrill with Heat Crash and I beat Clay. Later Zorua evolved into Zoroark and I caught a Volcarona at Relic Castle.
>>58565410Hahaha I wish. No I did beat him but I lost a important member.
>>58566061that's very unfortunate. RIP Digger.
>>58556272Another trial complete! On the first turn I had Baiduri set up Light Screen, then sent in Vela to activate Hydro Vortex. Sadly, it wasn't quite powerful enough to OHKO Totem Salazzle, leaving my little fishy helpless against the Toxic + Venoshock combo. Asellus's vengeance was swift and brutal. Rest easy Vela, you tried your best.
>spend 18+ turns buffing Steelix with X-items against Cynthia>Lucario 1-shots Steelix with a critical hit Aura Sphere on its very first trylol
>>58566083Yeah, Excadrill is a rough loss. Fair warning about Volcarona, it has a really lousy level up learnset, but you can learn Signal Beam from a move tutor in Driftveil in the house west of the Pokecenter for four red shards, which you should be able to reach without grinding dust clouds at this point. You might just have to go back to previous routes, 4, the Desert Resort, and the Relic Passage.
Methinks every Pokémon trainer should be "reset" (so you can battle them again) in the post-game. Their Pokémon should be no less than Lv. 40 (slowly upscaled throughout the region to reach Lv. 60+), fully evolved, and be given custom move sets so they don't just end up with useless or redundant moves. The same should apply to Gym Leaders, who accept rematches, but their Pokémon should be Lv. 60+, and obviously the Elite Four at Lv. 70+. It really is sad to retread the region and see all the idle NPCs who were defeated in the main campaign in a state of perpetual passiveness and eternal stagnation.
Things are going good again. I caught a Axew at Mistralton Cave and then I caught a Zebstrika making things better and Ducklett evolved into Swanna while Pignite evolved into Emboar. Finally i caught a Litwick at Celestial Tower, you can't see her name because she's in the reserves but i named her Celeste after Celeste from Danganronpa. Now I think I'm all set for the flying type gym.
>>58568049Yeah I'm well aware. In my last nuzlocke, I used a Volcarona on my team and it's learnset is kinda bad. I do however have 3 fire types now so I'm gonna keep her in the reserves along with Litwick.
why is Gyro Ball and Wring Out so bad? not only do they do no damage, but they have 5 PP as if they're broken or something. I don't get it.
>>58569396Are you using Gyro Ball on an opponent who's slower than the user, or Wring Out when the opponent has low HP?
>>58569538no, and the result is ALWAYS bad. I had an opponent who used it on my Pokémon at full health and that Pokémon has a base HP stat of 110: it barely did any damage. my only memory of the moves doing relevant damage is of gen 6 Steelix (bred to have 0 IVs and speed-reducing nature) using Gyro Ball on an Aerodactyl. but that was the one and only time either of those moves did anything. maybe they're PvP moves or something because I can't find a use for either of them.
I beat the sixth gym leader Skyla. Zoroark used Foul Play to take out Swoobat while its ability, Illusion, made Swoobat think I sent out Lee, so instead of using Attract, it used Acrobatics expecting to take out my Pokémon in one hit and Zoroark avoided getting distracted by Attract. Zebstrika was able to one shot Swanna with one Discharge and Emboar took out Skarmory with Heat Crash. Later Axew evolved into Fraxure, I caught a Mienfoo and then a Frillish in Undella Bay. Got a while until Drayden.
>>58570380Gyro Ball does more damage the slower the user is compared to the opponent. And Wring Out does more damage the more HP the target has. So against a Blissey it would be insane.
>>58570396yeah, on paper, but I've yet to see either of them do anything other than irrelevant chip damage in-game
>>58521334Took time off from playing to watch the World Series. Just took care of Galaxy at the Spear Pillar. The chump Ash was no help against Mars and Jupiter, just sat there with a Munchlax while I did everything. Lost Tina to Cyrus’s Gyarados. The Wacan Berry mattered more than I thought it would. And I forgot you don’t get to reset your team before the battle, so my plan of Tina holding the Metronome and just sweeping his flyers didn’t work. One last gym left and I need to train a team member or two up for it. Brock and Mike the Onix need to be in top form.The team after catching Dialga.
>>58571200based Kirby
>>58571211Kirby is based. He took care of Crobat and the reminder of Honchkrow after Larry got poisoned.
>triple battle>1 Pokémon in battle and all other Pokémon have fainted except 1>forced to send out the last pokemon>game refuses to let me (hitting shift does nothing)uhhhhhh?
>>58571525Did you try selecting which KO'd mon you want it to swap to? That's what i read you're supposed to do when thar happens. I thought it was a glitch for so long.
>>58571686damn, I'll try it next time. I already reset the game.
Littlemon team #37 to beat Alpha Sapphire E4 + Champ gauntlet. Level cap, no bag items, usual rules. Deathless & reliable strat>baton pass fun team -editionThis was actually a fun and an easy team to use. Goomy is the champion and sweeper of this team. It has ok stats and good moves. Pichu has great moves as a support like Fake Out, Charm, Encore. Panpour is all around. It can be a support or the backup for Goomy. Oh, and Lum Berry + Rest + Recycle was a fun tactics to use lol. Duskull is lurking in the back causing all kinds of mischief with Spite and other status moves. Has good defenses too. Munna and Sentret are the Baton Passers. They can together get +6 on every stat (including Accuracy + Evasion) except Speed. And then pass it to either Goomy or Panpour.The winning run was Goomy solo sweep, but on another day it could have been either one between him and Panpour or 50:50. The strat is pretty much the same on every fight >debuff their lead>setup + baton pass, sweepDuskull can Spite Abomasnow out of Blizzard. Pichu's Fake Out ruins Skarmory's Sturdy. Banette caused a little bit trouble by spreading Toxic before we could put up a Substitute. Fun team! All time KO top list:30 / 30: Tentacool, Hippopotas, Rufflet, Goomy29: Teddiursa, Rhyhorn27 - 28: Tyrunt, Skorupi, Pawniard23 - 25: Stunky, Gligar, Shellder, Bronzor18 - 20: Mienfoo, Anorith14 - 17: Gastly, Munchlax, Cranidos, Sneasel, Scyther, Diglett, Ferroseed, Machop, Amaura11 - 13: Pancham, Shellos, Doduo, Staryu, Wailmer, Torchic, Slugma, Riolu, Squirtle, Binacle, Croagunk, Flabébé, Piplup
I caught a Pawniard and I beat the seventh gym leader Drayden and I did not have fun with his gym battle despite victory with no losses. Because Druddigon knew Dragon Tail, many of my pokemon kept getting switched in and out over and over again making it hard to form a strategy. Swanna landed a Surf and Leavanny landed a Leaf Blade but it was Zebstrikas Discharge that took out Druddigon. Leavanny used Leaf Blade on his Flygon but Flygon used Dragon Tail forcing Zoroark to be sent out. Zoroark managed to take out Flygon with Foul Play and luckily enough, Zoroark managed to take out his Haxorus with one Foul Play thanks to landing a crit, lucky as many of my pokemons HP was low.Alright I'm tired. Goodnight guys, gonna continue tomorrow.
>>58572413Drayden is a dick
>>58572413nice job!!
I apologize to the guy from a previous thread who I called out for caring about IVs. it really does matter, a lot.
late-night bump!
>>58571200It's always Cyrus' Gyarados giving people trouble. Guess it's to be expected when you give it coverage against Electric types, its easiest weaknes to exploit.
I caught a Sneasel at the Giant Chasm and I beat the final gym leader Marlon. Leavanny took out Carracosta with Leaf Blade, Zebstrika took out Wailord with Wild Charge and Zoroark took out Jellicent with Punishment.Any advice for Colress and Ghetsis?
>>58574807For me it was his Weavile.
>>58575654I'm not sure if your ruleset allows it but I'd pick up some X-items at the Department Store. Driftveil also has Moo-Moo Milks and Energy Roots.for Colress, remember that:>Magneton has Eviolite>Magneton and Magnezone both have Sturdy>Klingklang has Air Balloon>Magnezone has Explosion>Metang has Rock Slidefor Ghetsis:>Drapion has Sniper>Hydreigon has Life Orb>Seismitoad, Elektross, and Toxicroak are mixed attackers with coverage movesyou really don't want Ghetsis' Pokémon to live long because that's when the critical hits and/or Life Orb damage start taking its toll. his Cofagrigus is RIPE for set up, if you have the right typing (steel).honestly, Kyurem is also a fight worth considering. you have the fire/fighting-type starter so hopefully you'll be okay. good luck!!
I beat Cynthia with the power of item spam and evasion cheese LMAO
>>58573410You can still beat the games with sbitty IV's, but yeah it sucks when your encounter has the worst possible IV's.
Beaten Neo Team Plasma. While beating them, Fraxure evolved into Haxorus and Emboar was able to beat all three of Zinzolins ice pokemon. Then I beat Colress. Emboar was able to take out Magnezone and Magneton with Flamethrower and Zoroark was able to take out Beheeyem and Metang with Punishment but there was just one problem, I thought Zebstrika could take out Klinklang with Fire Charge but unfortunately Zebstrika fell to a Klinklangs Giga Impact. Emboar avenged Zebstrika by taking out the gears with Flamethrower. After beating Colress, I added Sneasel to my team as a replacement and even evolved her into Weavile while wasting some rare candies on her to help her catch up and I even taught her Ice Beam. Then I would take on Ghetsis himself. Zoroark was able to take down Cofagrigus with Foul Play, Swanna took down Drapion with Surf, Haxorus nearly died to his Eelektross though and Dragon Pulse didn't do much damaged so I switched to Zoroark who beat Eelektross with Foul Play, Leavanny one shotted Seismitoed with Leaf Blade and Swanna took out Toxicroak with Aerial Ace. Unfortunately up against Ghetsis Hydreigon, Weavile tried to use Ice Beam but it didn't get a chance and was taken out by Rock Slide. Emboar took out Hydreigon with Arm Thrust and soon Ghetsis was defeated. Unfortunately I lost Zebstrika and Weavile. Who should I add to my team to fill in the slot? All I have in the reserves are Volcarona, Pawniard, Frillish, Litwick and Mienfoo.
>>58576626Kyurem was fine, I still lost a pokemon to both Colress and Ghetsis.
Do you anons ever look back and think about how the Nuzlocke is 4chan's greatest contribution to the Pokemon community?
I plan on going to another anime convention, this time in Sheffield. I hope I can make friends this time. Last time at Newvastle, I couldn't and felt alone and nearly killed myself. This also means I won't be on 4chan or have time to continue nuzlocking on the 8th all the way to the 10th.
>>58579130Zoroark should be able to defeat Shauntal and Caitlin. Pig should be able to defeat Grimsley. Donald should be able to fight Marshall but beware of Stone Edge and the extra critical hit chance. What you really need to worry about is the Champion, who has a Focus Sash on her Haxorus.>Ice Beam on Weavile>Dragon Pulse on Haxorus>Foul Play against CofagrigusHmm...
>>58579290gl;hf anon friend
>>58579228Did nuzlockes originated on 4chan?>>58579350Thanks for the advice. Yeah Marshal is always a challenge and I know Iris is a tougher champion than Alder.>>58579494I'll try.
>>58579799Original Nuzlocke (or "Pokemon: Hard Mode" as it was then called) was originally posted on 4chan in 2010.
>>58579945>if one of your Pokémon faints, you must release it...I do this but everyone else does the graveyard box
I caught a Shellder in Moon, when should I evolve him? (Oh, and he's got Shell Armor instead of Skill Link.)
>>58580982I vote yes. Shell Armor is good in a nuzlocke. Skill Link is great but some of the multi-hit moves he learns are egg moves.

>>58566521Having Musca evolve into Crobat just one level after becoming Golbat helped make the Totem Lurantis fight a trivial affair. It was also fortunate that the ally Trumbeak didn't come out to potentially ruin my day with Rock Blast.

(possible page 9) safety bump!
page 9 bump (again?)!
>>58580982Shell Armor is a fine ability, never having to worry about crits is great on your tank.
a part of me wants to revisit gen 2 johto but another part of me gets depressed when looking at this tier list I made a while back. a bunch of pokemon aren't viable because their evolution stones are locked in the postgame or they're trade evolutions (I don't have any friends). I guess I could try to cheat...
>>58585452>Ursaring below DunsparceIf this was a Crystal tier list, Ursaring would be solid at worst. STAB Headbutt is just that good.
Final team for a an ultra moon run I finished yesterday. Doing a nuzzy of shield now
>>58586030putting aside maybe Lugia (because it practically solos the Elite 4), I was trying to put HEAVY emphasis on availability. obviously, Usaring is better than Dunsparce in a void, but you find Dunsparce before the first gym and Usaring after you reach the 8th gym. I didn't take encounter rates into account, so Dunsparce should probably be a lot lower. also, Tentacruel basically solo'd the Elite 4 and champion effortlessly in my last run so it should be much higher.
>>58586129Here's the team so far -- about to do the first gym.Had so many grass types so far I was almost tempted to turn it into a mono-type (I even picked grookey, but gen 8 starters are the only ones I don't like so I boxed him). Already did all the isle of armour encounters I could reach but most of them were meh
>>58586346>Robotpüssynice nickname kek
>>58586421wouldn't let me use a regular u baka
>>58586188That's why I specified Crystal. On that, I wish HGSS had kept the early Teddiursa/Phanpy encounters, it wpuld help alleviate the repetitive feeling of early Johto encounters.Honestly, to me, making a Nuzlocke tier list is pretty involved. There's a lot you have to consider. Availability, encounter rate, overall learnset, whether it's even available before post game/without dupes clause. And even then sometimes it comes down to personal preferences, no o e will argue that Tentacruel and Gyarados are phenomenal, but someone might argue that Milotic in Platinum isn't worth the effort to catch despite having everything else going for it, or that Volcarona in BW2 is mid tier because of its leveling learnset. There's just so much you can do with it.
>>58587113my bad, I'm not familiar with crystal
>>58586346I swear to god mudbray is my only good team memberI actually used one in an NFE only run of this game once (has decent stats for a first stage + it's cute), but never mudsdale so I'm excited for it to evolve...Steenee died against Bede and I replaced it with a barboach named kitty
>>58587426mudsdale is a champ, has always done well for me
>start a pokemon x nuzlocke>remember being 16 when it came out and having fun>have even more fun now after playing Pokemon ZAwe are so back, fellers!
>>58587426I got sick of the characters yapping so I'm playing blaze black 2 (no EVs) instead. I'm """nuzlocking""", but not doing perma-death because it's challenging enough as it is for me.I permitted myself to catch a male ralts -- I originally started on an old version and got one there, and didn't realise until the mystery egg guy wasn't at the ranch -- because I was keen to use gallade, but the one I caught here is modest so now I have... other plans...boutta fight Roxie
>>58586129Congrats and nice team!
How do I reconcile my enjoyment of challenge runs with my instinctive need to complete the pokedex?
>>58590185The Professor Oak Challenge run, or whatever it is called. Get each Pokémon you can before getting a badge, including evolutions.
>>58590279I've thought about doing that at points, but looking at what's involved, it boils down to frontloading the grindiest parts of a livingdex run, just to do it for the sake of doing it.I don't really consider it a "challenge", because it just boils down to being patient, rather than skill.Different strokes for different folks.Like, there are pokemon in games that are available early at shitty rates, then later you can obtain them more easily. It makes no sense to me to go for a 1% seedot on route 102 when you can just snag an extra ralts and trade in rustboro
>>58587321You're fine. I figured it was GS specific and added the "Ursaring is good in Crystal" line, otherwise our positions would be reversed.
>>58588497...I missed my darling Yukiko (male) so I went back to shield. lost Robotpüssy to Kabu because I forgot his centiskorches g-max move is also fire-spin & I thought I could black a free turn of his dynamax. And it was right after I'd made a 400iq play to switch it into his almost dead arcanine's bite and let it kill itself with rocky helmet damage. Getting all the new wild area encounters now; nothing notable yet
Slowbro or Slowking for Moon? (I have the "impossible evos" option toggled in the Universal Pokemon Randomizer, so I can use a Water Stone to get Slowking.)
>>58590295>>58594049Twitching the rules or whatever is perfectly fine, but then again i'm not a pro nuzlocker. Works for me
>>58594838I'm not familiar with alolamons. do you have a physical tank on your team? slowbro is a good candidate if you need one. if you already have one, might as well go with the special tank, Slowking.
>>58595346I'll have to go back and assess my team, but I'll keep your advice in mind. Thanks!
I'm going to nuzlocke Omega Ruby WITHOUT EXP Share! What could possibly go wrong?
>>58596283If Groudon is any indication, nothing.
>>58596283ORAS is so easy you’ll be fine
Random question, what is the net location for the lake trio in BDSP? This is very important as I already killed Azelf.
Littlemon team #38 to beat Alpha Sapphire's E4 + Champ. Level cap, no bag items, deathless & reliable strategy, usual nuz rules>get in, we're beating the pokemon league -editionNo, not really. More like>minccino the surprising hero -episodeSo Minccino sweeps the whole gauntlet. I didn't expect this, but then again nothing ever goes as planned. It learns such good moves like Calm Mind + a bunch of special attacks. And outspeeds everything. I'm starting to think that Speed is the most important stat on this challenge.Zubat learns some good troll moves like Confuse Ray and Attract & Toxic Protect. Sunkern is an ok support too with Flash and Leech Seed. Weedle resists some opponents' moves and has Rocky Helmet or Sticky Barb. Noibat has Super Fang and some other supporting moves. She was the last Dragon Pokemon I can use on this challenge. strategy: Nothing much to say here. Debuff & setup and Mincc sweeps >sidney -> dazzling gleam>phoebe -> thunderbolt>glacia -> thunderbolt>drake -> dazzling gleam>steven -> grass knotAll time KO top list:30 / 30: Tentacool, Hippopotas, Rufflet, Goomy, Minccino29: Teddiursa, Rhyhorn27 - 28: Tyrunt, Skorupi, Pawniard23 - 25: Stunky, Gligar, Shellder, Bronzor18 - 20: Mienfoo, Anorith11 - 17: Gastly, Munchlax, Cranidos, Sneasel, Scyther, Diglett, Ferroseed, Machop, Amaura, Pancham, Shellos, Doduo, Staryu, Wailmer, Torchic, Slugma, Riolu, Squirtle, Binacle, Croagunk, Flabébé, Piplup
>>58581617I love you Olivia, but your fight was underwhelming. Baiduri set up a Stealth Rock and Reflect in the first round, then Asellus took over and went right to it. For some reason Lycanroc never tried to use its Z-Move and just kept Biting, which did little but repeatedly trigger Stamina.
>>58597441I forgot to say anything about the teddybear. He learns too many good support moves to be neglected. He was supposed to be a sweeper, but now he is an excellent support. Noibat baits Scrafty to use Dragon Claw and Chubchoo uses Encore and the debuffing and setup begins. Also Charms Altaria and Skarmory.
I beat Roxanne! ...but I swear Roxanne had an Onix... am I going insane?>Lv. 13 Mudkip>Lv. 12 Taillow>Lv. 12 Dustox>Lv. 5 Zigzagoonunfortunately, I had to use my Starter because I failed to catch a single grass-type and I didn't want to train a Wingull because I already have a flying-type in guts Taillow. maybe I shouldn't have named it "HM Slave 1".
H
false alarm: I'm misremembering her team because Roark has a Geodude AND Onyx. I'm not going insane yet.
>>58598304No, you're right, she has an Onix on her rematch team in Emerald.
>>58598393I never even played Emerald lmfao
>Poochyena 1-shots Taillow>it wasn't even a critical hityeah nah Imma ragequit lol
Hmm... the emotional half of my brain wants to give Moon another chance because it's been almost a decade and maybe I'll find some redeeming qualities, but the logical half knows it's going to be more of the same slog I forced myself to beat 9 years ago which made me drop modern Pokémon games forever.
>>58598907Lol. The alola games are unironically my favourite in the series (I'm 30 years old so you can't call it nostalgia)They may be a bit WORDSWORDSWORDS sometimes, but the region is just so comfy and they actually pose something approaching a challenge at parts. I also like most of the new monsHave you tried ultra-?
>>58594049I did it again. Lost whiscash because of gengar's >mug g-max move which prevents switch out. The worst part is that I could've switched out to Sarah the (male) bewear to blank it, but I figured I'd use protect to eat the last g-max turn.One shotted the cunt with him too
>>58599386Walked right into the Bede fight without thinking with 3 poison types, and a fighting type in the lead. Based Yukiko managed to sweep him with nothing but a sitrus berry and a dream
J
>>58599190I misspoke (it was late and I tired): Sun and Moon have lots of good qualities like the music and character designs. The constant dialogue/ cutscenes/ hand-holdy-ness did bring down the experience but the exploration was also lacking. The routes were grossly oversimplified, and I seem to recall the tutorial being 4-hours long but that can't be right...I haven't tried the Ultra games because my bad experience with Moon. I've seen reviews saying they had weaker stories than the first game because they cut some scenes (like Jellyfish Lusamine) and changed others. I'm not sure if the Ultra games retcon of the original SM or if it's a parallel universe. Apparently, you become Alola's first champion in both games so it can't be a sequel.The biggest thing about nuzlocking them is the text-heavy dialogue. There's no way to skip cutscenes iirc so nuzlocking them through trial and error would be miserable for me.
>>58598907For me, i enjoyed my last playthrough when the game actually let me play and wasn't interrupting me with cutscenes and railroading me to said cutscenes. And.considering that basically every route has a cutscene, yeah.
>>58599952>>58600766I've played Pokémon Sun on emulator very recently with Instant Text speed (can be set up in PkHex by going to Block Data>Tab_Raw>Config and setting TalkingSpeed to 3) and 60FPS patch (which actually makes the game run twice as fast without distorting the music).I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to replay Gen VII, it really does make a world of difference.If you want even more speed up on the latest emulator there is also an option to speed up the game without distorting the audio, the only time the speed up doesn't work are on the "cinematic" cutscenes, which aren't that frequent anyway.
>>58601138I play on hardware but that’s good to know. I do have PkHex…
>>58597655Asellus was once again the star of the show here, effortlessly tanking the Totem and his ally's attacks while flinging rocks left and right. Hitting level 30 and evolving after the lead-up fights certainly didn't hurt, either.
What are the rules on raoming/gift/egg pokemon?
>>58603577Gifts and Eggs are usually the encounter for where you get/hatch them. Personally I consider them their own separate encounters
>>58603590what about roamers? Do you need to encounter them as the first mon on that route? And then what if they reappear? Do you need to trap them/catch them before they flee?
>>58603616Tbh I’ve never used Legendaries so I never had to consider this. I guess I would have it be the first on the route and have to trap it there
>>58603616>what about roamers?same as everything else>Do you need to encounter them as the first mon on that route?yes>And then what if they reappear?it's a new encounter>Do you need to trap them/catch them before they flee?yes
I decided to start a Silver nuzlocke because I got tired of getting crit in OmegaRuby. I also decided that I'm going to CHEAT this run. I will evolve trade-evolution mons and stone-evolution mons using CHEATS because I am a big fat stinky CHEATER. You see that Rocky? It's a Steelix... because I CHEATED.
>>58598175>>58599923K?
>>58603577Whatever you want them to be.
Literally the most GOATed Pokemon to ever do it. Swept another so-called gym leader using nothing but the heaviness if his own ass (no pun intended) and an apple core
Hello everyone, I'm back.I was away for four days because I was at a convention in Sheffield. I tried to make friends but it's really a struggle to make friends and I still felt alone at the convention but I did try to have fun. I feel like my appearance isn't good so it did leave me feeling depressed but I didn't try to kill myself this time.Anyway back to my nuzlocke, I forget to catch Klink in Chargestone Cave so I went back there to catch Klink and I also evolved it into Klang and I haven't done Victory Road yet.Any advice for Victory Road? And any advice for the Elite Four and Champion?
>>58605486adding to my advice from >>58579350 the Unovan Elite 4 (with the exception of Marshall) are very easy to set up against if you have a Steel-type in the lead. I don't know if your ruleset allows it, but X-items trivializes those fights.The true problem is the Champion. The Hydreigon lead has a variety of coverage options to stop you from setting up. Maybe Pig can kill it before it gets a chance to use Surf but what she sends out next is anyone's guess.
Klang evolved into Klinglang and I caught a Zweilous at Victory Road.Right now my team is Emboar, Leavanny, Swanna, Zoroark, Haxorus and Klinglang. I do have a Volcarona, Litwick, Pawniard, Zweilous, Mienfoo and Frillish but they are in the reserves meaning if I lose a battle, i can still try and beat them with my reserves though it will probably be difficult.Wish me good luck.
>>58605883Thanks for the advice. I forget about your first advice because it's been a while.
>>58606346good luck!!
>>58603577Roamers are legit as long as they're the first encounter, but when are you actually gonna encounter a roamer on a route yoy haven't caught anything on? Gift and egg mons can be considered the catch of their area, but most aren't competing with anything in towns and cities either.
Unfortunately I lost my nuzlocke.I was able to beat the elite four however I did lose Zoroark to Caitling and Haxorus to Marshal. Heres how my battle against Iris went.First I had Emboar use Arm Thrust on Hydreigon but it wasn't enough and Surf nearly took out Emboar. I then sent out Klinglang hoping to use Gear Grind but Flanethrower nearly took out Klinglang too. I decided to heal Emboar and sacrifice Klinglang who was finished off. Emboar came out and avenged the gear pokemon by taking out Hydreigon with Arm Thrust.Next came Aggron, I was hoping Emboar could take out Aggron in one hit with Arm Thrust, I was wrong and Aggron finished off Emboar with Earthquake, killing my very own starter. Swanna finished off Aggron with Surf.Leavanny was actually able to take out Lapras without taking damage using Protect to protect himself from Ice Beam and Sing while using a Leaf Storm and then a Leaf Blade to take out Lapras.Swanna tried to take out Druddigon with Hurricane and I was hoping for a confusion but unfortunately Druddigon took out Swanna with Rock Slide. Leavanny avenged Swanna with Leaf Blade.Finally Iris sent out Archeops against my lone pokemon Leavanny. Acrobatics killed Leavanny in one hit.I decided to try the elite four again with the pokemon in my reserves but I still lost and so my nuzlocke ends here.
>>58607934Well shit. What will you do now?
>>58607959Kill myself obviously.I'm just kidding, X is next.
>>58607934big sad. you were so close.
>>58607972I would rather kill myself than replay X
I beat Bugsy in my CHEATlocke>Lv. 17 Gastly>Lv. 14 Hoothoot>Lv. 11 "Rocky" (Steelix)>Lv. 6 Totodilecan't wait to get Gengar... by CHEATING>>58608148is the nuzlocke really that bad or do you just hate the overall game design?
>>58608791NTA, but i can see why someone wouldn't like it. The gyms are easy, not a lot happens between the third and seventh gyms, the rivals are all mediocre, most of the challenege comes from getting ambushed by npc trainers like the Dragon Rage Axew and double Furfrou trainers. It has a great selection of mons, that's Kalos' biggest strength.
Bump
Pokemon gaia, third attempt, last one was lost on the mege-evolution tower. Got lucky with the early catch
>>58607934Man, it always sucks to lose right at the end, but you got pretty far with few casualties. As long as you're conscious about the problem trainers in X you should get far there as well.
Just began my X nuzlocke.I picked Froakie to be my starter, I caught a Fletchling, a Scatterbug that evolved into a Spewpa, I beat the first gym leader Viola in which Fletchling helped with Peck, I caught a Flabebe, Froakie evolved into a Frogadier, I received a Charmander from Sycamore and Spewpa evolved into Vivillion.So I'm at a good start.Also I'm well aware of which trainers are hard like the two that have a Furfrou.
CHEATlocke update:>get to Goldenrod>get Abra>grind and evolve to Kadabra>instantly evolve to Alakazam by CHEATING>proceed to steamroll the game with Elemental Punchesmwahahaha... yes... YESSS... YESSSS!!!!!>>58611340good luck!!
>doing a nuzlocke of crystal legacy >water and flying types keep dropping like flies Also I'm convinced most nuzlocke youtubers are fucking liars.
>>58612117>Also I'm convinced most nuzlocke youtubers are fucking liars.if you're talking about "hardcore" nuzlocke youtubers, they 100% hack in infinite rare candies to skip grinding
>>58612364Not even that I know those motherfuckers lie about deaths because they always skip the evil team segments where you have to deal with self destruct spam.
>>58612578which gens?
>>58612807nvm it's probably gen 2 since you're playing crystal legacy. I don't remember any Self-Destruct spam because I always kill them in 1 hit.
>>58611905Anon this needs to stop! Think about the example you're setting!
>>58613660It's not my fault Gamefreak friend-walled some of the best Pokémon in the game! Locking evolution stones to the post-game is beyond unfair! IT'S NOT MY FAULT I DON'T HAVE ANY FRIENDS so I'm going to enjoy the game's content to its fullest even if it means being a BIG FAT STINKY CHEATER!
>>58611340H
>>58598175>>58599923>>58613902what does this mean?
>>58613916Connor. is a malfunctioning AI bot confirmed
Finally found a flamethrower TRHere's hoping my Lanturn doesn't die to Melony (I know her ace is a Lapras, but I've been drinking so I'll figure something out when I get to it). Alas, Yukiko-kun can't sweep this one. Funny to think if I was playing sword instead he'd have a 4x effective STAB earthquake...
>>58613916Just ignore them. I don't know they happened or if it was a glitch on my phone or someone else.
Here's my current progress.I caught a Skiddo even though hes in the reserves because grass types are not good in Kalos, Charmander evolved into Charmeleon, I caught a Honedge who was named Joan of Arc since this is the French region and Honedge is medieval in design and Flabebe evolved into Floette.Of course I was able to beat the two trainers with Furfrou no problem and now the only real problem in the early game is mabye Grant and that trainer who has a Axew, I have a fairy type though.
>>58614698>Sarah (male)>Yukiko (male)>Marnie (male)
>>58603265That's the sixth trial completed! Once Baiduri set up Reflect, Pyxis switched in, popped a X Sp. Atk, and started blasting with Flash Cannons. Not even the Totem could withstand more than two, and that was just because of the Disguise ability. I'm sure it'd be a lot tougher if I weren't an item-using coward.
I had an idea for a new rule, 'deferment'Essentially, when you go into a route, before encountering anything, you can choose to defer the encounter for the route, so you catch nothing on it while you're there.The idea is that if you just don't want to catch anything, and you maybe just want to grind or grab items, you can.Obviously, you could abuse the wording of this and repels overlap a lot with the intent, but I'm imagining this as a convenience and that you use your best judgement with invoking it.
Here's my progress so far.I caught a Inkay and a Helioptile but I lost Inkay to a Team Flare Grunts Scraggy using Karate Chop. I received a Jaw Fossil and restored it to receive a Tyrunt and I even caught a Eevee.I did beat the second gym leader Grant with no problem. Frogadier used Water Pulse on his Amaura and Floette used Fairy Wind on his Tyrunt. With Grant out of the way, any advice for Korrina?
>>58615570It's a "boy named Sue" thing, not a "tranny" thing.
I'm going to play Scarlet, but don't really feel like nuzlocking, per sewhat other gimmick challenge can I do?
>>58616605Send out Honedge against her. Korrins only has one move on Machoke that can actually hit it.
>>58617292I'm thinking either NFEs or single-stage mons only...I've done a couple of NFE runs before; pic related was the closest I got to beating Cynthia in BD. The thought of a pikachu trying to beat a garchomp head to head always makes me lol
Unfortunately I lost Floette to Serenas Absol that used Slash but Fletchinder evolved into Talonflame and Frogadier evolved into Greninja. I was able to beat the third gym leader Korrina with ease, first I had Honedge spam Sword Dance while her Mienfoo couldn't land a hit, I then had Honedge defeat Minfoo and Hawlucha with ease while Talonflame took out Machoke with Peck. I would then beat Korrina again with Lucario and receive Lucario that can Mega evolve and finally I unfortunately lost Helioptile to a a swimmers Qwilfish that used a surprise Revenge but that's okay. I'm doing good.
>>58617299Thanks for the advice, never knew that two of Korrinas pokemon only know fighting and normal attacks. It's always a shame when a gym leaders pokemon can't harm some pokemon depending on typing, I think it's poor fame design.
>>58617292Monotype. I’m in the same situation as you
epic
Well, the CHEATlocke is over. I tried the bug catching contest with Gastly and failed to catch Butterfree, whose only move was Confusion. Gastly missed Hypnosis at low HP and was killed, causing me to black out. I didn't respawn at the Pokémon Center like normal, but it still counts. It was fun while it lasted.
>>58618323Ouch
>>58618473I wasn't terribly invested to be honest. I could have run away but I took the gamble instead.
>>58618078Here's my team so far. Couldn't really decide which of the two restrictions to go for, so I'm doing both (as long as the single stagers are shitmons. As for which of the two classifications stantler falls under: "haha, I don't really know.")Bisharp seems like an obvious choice, but pawniard doesn't evolve until level 52 so if I decide I want to use one I'll just wait until the late game area rather than catching one on route 5.Hydrapple is one I'll probably use too.
>>58619330>HydrappleErr, I meant dipplin....
Page 9 bump!
This is my progress.Honedge evolved into Doublade but I unfortunately got into a double battle with a Skytrainer who's Pelipper washed my Talonflame away with Water Pulse so RIP Robin.I did catch a Binacle at Azure Bay and I was able to beat the fourth gym leader Ramos, Doublade took out Jumpluff and Gogoat with Aerial Ace while Charmeleon took out Weepinbel with Fire Fang and later Skiddo evolved into Gogoat.So not much has happened aside from losing Talonflame.
whoops, forgot we hit the bump limit. see you guys in the next thread!
>>58621265>>58621265>>58621265New thread.
