I just DESTROYED Whitney. battle breakdown:>Aipom use Sand-Attack a few times >Clefairy's attacks fail and miss >use Headbutt so Clefairy can't use Mimic to Sand-Attack me >Clefairy survives in red >Clefairy uses Metronome and rolls Rest >use x-items to buff attack, defense, and speed >1-shot Clefairy with Heabutt >2-shot Milktank with Headbutt (it flinched)I left an Onix and an Exeggcute in the Daycare. if I somehow manage to complete this nuzlocke, I plan on banning my Hall of Famers and proceeding to Kanto. >Lv. 26 Aipom>Lv. 17 Zubat>Lv. 16 Woopertraining Zubat is a pain in the ass. is it even worth it? I think I *have* to train Wooper, just to have an answer for Jasmine. maybe I can brute-force Chuck?
just solo'd Morty's gym with Quagsire>Lv. 26 Aipom\Boots>Lv. 24 Quagsire\Woop-Woop>Lv. 17 Zubat\Mr. Battythe Red Gyarados next for the Exp. Share
Golbat just slaughtered Chuck and Quagsire just destroyed Jasmine. Golbat with Screech is godlike. Pryce is next.>Lv. 31 Golbat\Mr. Batty>Lv. 30 Quagsire\Woop-Woop>Lv. 15 Tauros\ThrasherAipom was killed because I switched into a Karate Chop (critical hit). Machop was spamming Seismic Toss and Quagsire had less than 25 HP so I couldn't switch it in. I know I said I would ban the hall of famers if I beat the nuzlocke but now I'm not so sure. I might actually be able to defeat Red...
>>59371953A bit late to throw my hat in, but i think Zubat is well worth training in gen 2. Crobat is going first basically every time and it has good bulk, especially in a game where there are more moves like Bite and Wing Attack than more modern moves.>Not banning HoFersWhat is this, some sort of... cheatlocke? But seriously, if you do make an entirely new team it'll take awhile to train them up to face Red, that's something to consider.
Bump.
I'm doing a custom nuzlocke run called the cheatlocke with these rules >>59367715 because I'm a big, fat, stinky, CHEATER. oh, and I can relearn Pokémon moves that are in their level up movepool whenever I want because I will not be taunted by Gamefreak setting moves at Lv. 1 with no legitimate way of accessing them. just killed Pryce!>Lv. 32 Golbat\Mr. Batty>Lv. 32 Quagsire\Woop-Woop>Lv. 27 Tauros\ThrasherClaire is next!>>59372778>What is this, some sort of... cheatlocke?very funny. the main issue with gen 2 zubat is getting off the ground. you're stuck with leech life for so long that Swift (TM) becomes your best option until level 30 (when Golbat learns Wing Attack). Bite is a special attack with no STAB plus you don't want to fight psychic-types and ghost-types are rare. if I decide to fight Red, then I won't ban my Hall of Famers. I usually don't fight Red and just end the run at Blue. banning the HoFers makes Kanto significantly more fun since you actually have to catch a new team and train them up before taking on Gym Leaders. I could also just put the HoFers on haitus until Red instead of perma-banning them; I think that's more than fair, given how under-leveled they will be.
page 9 bump!
>>59371349>nuzlocke>use x-items to buff attack, defense, and speedBruh
I just killed Claire!>Lv. 38 Quagsire\Woop-Woop>Lv. 36 Golbat\Mr. Batty>Lv. 36 Tauros\Thrasherthe Pokémon League is next!>>59373994I will not apologize!
The run is dead. I wiped at Will. I completely forgot about his Exeggcutor. I'd rather post Karen though. sue me.>Lv. 40 Quagsire\Woop-Woopamazing typing, gets the Mud Slap and Dig TMs very early for access to STAB, evolves very early at level 20, gets a good STAB option in Surf, learns Earthquake via level up (unlike Sandslash), has Ice Punch for coverage (even as a Wooper!), a good Pokémon all around despite its lack of speed. unfortunately, there is the occasional grass-type but those aren't too common in Johto's boss fights — B tier>Lv. 39 Crobat\Mr. Battyabsolutely not worth it. you have to grind a shitter to level 30 just to get a half-way decent STAB move, and it's fucking Wing Attack (60 BP). so, you're either trying to kill other shitters with Swift because Leech Life is pathetic and Bite on Zubat is painfully mediocre or you're giving it the EXP Share in the mid-game when there's dozens of other Pokémon more worthy of that EXP. Crobat isn't awful, but the payoff isn't worth all the investment — F tier>Honorable Mentionthe only other death prior to the wipe; I did not expect Aipom to contribute as much as it did. the fact that I effortlessly raised it to Lv. 27 in Johto speaks volumes. more than a jokemon, Aipom has legitimate worth in the early game while you're still building your team and looking for permanent party members.I deposited Tauros because I was going to use it in Kanto. maybe I was too overconfident. so, is this place dead now that Conner is taking a break?
>>59374670How is the run dead? Just reload your save and try again.
>>59374682what save?
>>59374690You were dumb enough not to save? Next time make a save so that crap doesn't happen.
>>59374670It's certainly gonna be slower without him playing.You probably already did this, but when you run it back, consider taking advantage of STAB Headbutt. Very good combo thanks to abundance of Normal types and badge boosts.
>>59375579there is no runback; the file was deleted as a result of a wipe. the other anon was upsetti spaghetti because I use items in my runs and was being passive-aggressive with his hostility. when he was talking about reloading the save, he was insinuating that my run was a casual playthrough.despite all the custom rules that were akin to cheating: I wasn't playing with the "a loss doesn't result in a wipe; you can use deposited Pokémon if your party dies" rule.
>>59375849Oh, alright then. So is it on to Y now or are you taking a break?
>>59376351I'll be playing a non-Pokémon game for a bit so break for sure. I don't know how long it'll be though.
