Am doing a HGSS nuzlocke together with my nephews. Just got wiped to witney, because my 30-31 attack IV geodude got triple consecutive flinched followed by a crit by the miltank. My nephews allowed me to continue because they thought it would be incredibly funny to see if I could salvage the run.
At this point, my box consists of magikarp, hoppip and zubat, because I killed all my duplicate encounters. The only encounters I had left were at the 1st gym, the unknown ruins, the second gym and slowpoke well (repelled that, because slowpoke is garanteed with surf). I had to voltorb flip to get a sandshrew, which I was only allowed to use for HMs, not headbutt. So, to get headbutt, I either had to get a slowpoke at slowpoke well (15%), or fish for a poliwag at unknown ruins (15%) or the 1st gym (15%). Did manage to get a poliwag, so I went to headbutt a tree at the 2nd gym.
Ended up with a lvl 4 spearow encounter, which meant that it was a tree that contained the 30% heracross encounters, I just didn't get it.
Wish me good luck, I'm gonna grind this team, to beat the trainers north of goldenrod to gamble for a nidoran/stantler.
Also, magikarp is useless, because of the lvl 19 cap.
