Finally, FINALLY got to start the Platinum leg of my journey after a ton of planning and grinding, and oh boy what a doozy this'll be. In honor of my favorite move, Natural Gift, I decided I wanted to dedicate an entire run of a game to it, and there's really no better place to do it than Platinum. Since I'm purposefully handicapping myself by only allowing myself to use Natural Gift in battle (outside of Status moves), I've allowed myself to trade over the berries I've accumulated in Pearl until I'm able to grow my own, which has definitely been a big help. Roark ended up being easy enough, one Pinap Berry each from Mercury and Gooey Goo allowed them to unleash a 70BP Grass Natural Gift against Roark's Geodude and Onix, and a Hondew Berry allowed Gemini Eve which I went double odds for hunting in Oreburgh Mine to unleash a STAB 70BP Ground Natural Gift which was more than enough to finish off Cranidos. I'm already excited for the next leg of this, it's been quite a thrill going into fights with limited ammo as it were, every step has to be carefully planned to avoid the risk of death (this is still a nuzlocke after all), but that's the whole appeal, right?
