Wew, I'm pretty proud to have managed this on my first run without using items. Less so because FR/LG are pretty easy, but still proud nonetheless.
As I expected, Lance gave me the most trouble. There were no losses until that point. Gyarados was an easy takedown for King Keith, and Squirtle handled the two Dragonair with Blizzard pretty handily, but took some major damage and was out of commission for the rest of the fight. The problem came when Dragonite came out. Luckily I threw Protect on Sheboon, and was able to beat him through a process of Toxic stall/Paralysis/a lucky crit Body Slam. Had to sacrifice Sheboon to outspeed in the end though. Aerodactyl was tough too since I couldn't use Squirtle and Keith was weak, but I was able to handle it with poison and paralysis again.
Final battle seemed relatively easy, but I knew I had to make a few hard decisions since this was set mode. Alakazam was a toughie, but opted to Reflect and Future Sight more than Psychic, so I got it down pretty quick. Pim Pim went down to Gyarados to paralyze him so King Keith could come in on the switch, and then King Keith took the Future Sight after KOing Gyarados. Rest of the fight went well from there. Surprisingly, the survivors of the battle were three of my first six mon.
I've been doing a lot of nuzlockes back to back in the last month or so, think I got through 4 since I've been posting to nuzgen. Gonna probably take a break for a bit, since I have a bunch of other games to play. I'll probably be doing a run of Black 2 and putting a lot of effort into the templates when I get back, but ciao for now.
