Unfort the only Drayano hack that has fairy typing in it is Renegade Platinum and Rising Ruby/Sinking Sapphire. There is a fairy patch for Sacred Gold/Storm Silver, but it's literally worthless, mainly due to not actually adding in any offensive fairy moves. It just changes stuff like Charm to fairy type and cucks you out of Normal STAB on Togekiss/the likes.

>>41858802 We're certainly not blind the game's flaws, but there's a lot to like in here, particularly when we're as blind as we are/were. I do think that if we were to Nuzlocke it again, we'd have different rules to make it a bit more of a challenge and to better incorporate unique elements of the game into the rule set, like raid battles. Still, I kind of value this run as an experiment. We knew what was coming in White and White 2 and were able to prepare, and we still had trouble. Here, we're playing by the same rules, with much less knowledge about what's coming, and it's just objectively MUCH easier. I mean, I know everyone KNOWS that, but I like having something specific to cite.

Granite Cave is rather brutal, probably purposed to be done after Brawly - that's why I didn't grind enough, though Mirkwood seems to prove himself as the MVP, sweeping the majority of both leaders' teams, with some competition from Mary.

>>41894904 Oricorio, Deerling/Sawsbuck, Flabebe line, Shellos/Gastrodon, Rotom, Burmy/Wormadam, Zygarde, Lycanroc.. Probably more. They have sprites in the database, they just don't change when a form is selected fsr. Dunno about the images though, I use custom ones most of the time.
Alolan forms and gender variations (Pyroar, Jellicent) seem to work fine though, from what I've seen, so I dunno.
>>41895019 Yoooooo grats dude, definitely a well-deserved win. Glad to see Stratosphere pulled through in the end. Fuck that final stretch, especially the victory road veterans and their fucking megas and legends.. And the multi-battles in the E4, ick.
Best of luck with Rising Ruby. Words of advice... Shit starts getting real around Brawly and his illegal ass Hariyama. Horde grinding is your best friend, saves SO much time if you have a spread move and can net you some awesome catches. I would suggest catching a slave Surskit on route 102 or hacking in lots of honey (for grinding purposes only, ofc). You can get Bulldoze in Mauville to help a bit.
Also the levelup sets in this game are wild, I had shit like Giga Drain Grovyle by 21, Moonblast Clefairy at 24, etc. Was able to evolve her and Onix in Slateport, too.. Just be wary, things get very powerful very fast.

Considering a Buglocke on Y version. Ideally I'd prefer to do a Gen VII game for the full roster but cutscenes lol.
Rules:
>Starter must be released once a Bug Pokemon is obtained >Only the first Bug encounter on a route is a valid catch >No exp share (or at least, only to be used for grinding sessions) Because I've got 2 DS systems I was thinking of preparing a batch of Bug eggs on my X version to be exchanged for an encounter on a no-Bugs-available route (eggs to be randomly swapped around the box so I'm not sure what the hatch would be). Thoughts?

How do you deal with Gift Pokemon in your Nuzlocke? Generally if they're the only thing available in that area I accept them but I'm curious.
Anonymous
>>41903881 I usually avoid them because static encounters and knowing for sure what you'll get, with the occasional exception. Trade gifts for instance are fine to me though since you have to exchange something instead of getting something for free, and most trade gifts have built-in nicknames.
Actually, come to think of it, that might be an interesting idea for a run. Awful to actually play, but a gift-mon-only nuzlocke.

>trainer id decides starter 1-3 left, 4-6 middle, 7-9 right, and 0 pick
>rustling grass encounter Specifically for ORAS, the unique ‘mons you have to sneak up on count as the area’s encounter. Otherwise I’ll have two teams’ worth by the first gym.
>only Christmas music allowed during gameplay I usually listen to fan covers of the region’s music, but not this time.
>Berserk cast naming theme >no Exp Share (post-gen5 version is just easy mode) I’ll get back to you guys once I’m around the first gym.

Wow, there's FINALLY a real dark type gym... I can't believe it actually happened! Welp, time to wreck it.

>>41910509 Wait, what the fuck happened here? Travel to the future? Is this another romhack?

also for your question about viewership sadly what we like here is far different from what people on youtube like in general so the only compromise i can think of is collabs as someone already suggested or playing popular stuff

Got lucky on the team build, notably a Pickup Zigzagoon and a Lotad to compliment my starter. Roxanne done, on my way to rescue the old man’s Wingull. Nosepass proved to be an issue because Casca’s defense is nonexistent, but thankfully it spammed Tackle because of Rock Tomb being resisted. Fingers crossed my cave encounter is a Makuhita, the team needs physical bulk.
>>41915234 I’ve encountered “All I Want for Christmas” 4 times on the station so far. It’s a test of mental stability at this point, I have to make sure I stay focused and don’t get irritated.

Hey /nzg/. Haven't touched Pokemon in like a week nor been in threads, but back at it again since I'm bored of Hearthstone again.
Continuing my Element-Roulette Nuzlocke and go through from the last gym to the Ice gym.
Scored a Toxel on route7 after a dozen fights with that dumb dark cat that dashes into me like it has a suicide wish.
Rolled flying/ice/grass/poison/normal for route8 and could not find ANY until I reached the second half and just killed the fucking ice/bug forgetting ice was an option for me. Fucking sucked. Also Evens/Odds (the driflim) died to a random encounter. So that sucked.
I dicked around in town discovering the dumbest mystery investigation of all time, and went to the gym.
Tragically Roulette my starter and Pachinko the spritzee both died to some lucky crits on a trainer cloyster.
And last but not least MY BOY BACCARAT THE TANK. Nearly solo'd the entire gym leader with a stockpile/rest/snore strategy. Wouldn't dynamax cause I wasn't sure if you can use Rest to heal when dynamaxed. Dude tanked all 3 Laprax dynamax moves, two of which were crits! So yeah my other 3 pokemon owed their lives to my favorite Pokemon of this gen so far. RIP my squirrel Snorlax.

>>41919818 WELL FUCK ME.
Almost lost the whole game to Hop. The fuck is a Corvilknight made of everything I threw at it was resistant to.
So until I get at least enough Pokemon to equal the gym leader I'm allowing myself to overlevel as needed.

>>41920304 And so my Nuzlocke is at an end.
After catching a Wishiwashi it died to a surprise crit so it never even go into small form.
Bingo fucking died because I had never heard of the ability Innards Out for Pyukumuka, so it was basically a destiny bond.
And after a 4hit streak on icicle spear, of course the grass/dragon dies in one turn.
I will say Element Roulette was the most fun I've had of my Nuzlocke themes for Sword/Shield so far.
I think instead of going back to my ball-locke on Sword I'll reset and try this again tonight.

So i had the luck/bad luck of finding slakoth as my encounter in petal woods and after suffering to train this shit, finally evolved it to vigoroth. man, i'm seriously considering slapping the everstone on this badboy so i dont even let it evolve for accident. fuck Truant with a thousand cactus. can Vigoroth be viable or its best to evolve him anyway truant be damned?

Going again with a Element Roulette Nuzlocke.
1. normal Nuzlocke rules
2. Every route I randomly look up 3 Pokemon and those elements shown are my options for catching something that route (ex: roll Onix Lunatone and Delibird, I can catch rock/ground/psychic/flying/ice). This will help make even Pokemon I see on map not my immediate first sight option I'm stuck with.
So say hello to my starter Monopoly. Going with a boardgame theme this time.

>>41923651 I'm back and am at Lance, here's how Karen's battle went for me.
>Bramble (Victreebel) vs Umbreon >Sleep Powder, double Sludge Bomb and a Leaf Storm deals with Umbreon, but not before it gets off a Faint Attack, to little damage >Lalma (Golem) vs Murkrow >Murkrow outspeeding Lalma with Faint Attack, Lalma uses Rock Throw and one-shots Lerfil (Fearow) vs Vileplume
>Crit Drill Peck ended this before it began Bramble vs Gengar
>Sleep Powder misses twice in a row, Gengar's Focus Blast hits twice in a row, second time being a crit that takes Bramble down to 31HP, and proves the computer is a cheating bastard >Gengar starts using Spite while Sleep Powder finally hits, letting me whittle down Gengar's HO with Leaf Blade Lalma vs Houndoom
>Karen switches into Houndoom >I switch in Lalma, she takes a Flamethrower >Respond with Earthquake, while Houndoom uses Dark Pulse >Lalma lives with 3HP, and Earthquake kills Bramble and Lerfil vs Gengar, part two
>Leaf Blade take Gengar down to half >I predict Destiny Bond bullcrap and use Sleep Powder >I am correct, Sleep Powder misses any way >Destiny Bond and Sleep Powder are used again, but Powder hits this time >Take a chance and switch to Lerfil >Gengar still sleeping >Lerfil outspeeds and finishes off Karen and her team That was freaking tense, but now only Lance remains.

Ryder (Furret) and Palko (Meganium) vs Gyarados
>Ryzer takes a Waterfall and responds with Strength, only taking off a quarter >Switch to Palko, who sets up Reflect, a good move as Ice Fang only deals about 30 damage to Palko >A Body Slam and three Petal Dances later, Gyarados is felled Lalma (Golem) vs Charizard
>Rock Throw does its job again, falling Charizard in one hit Brilg (Mamowswine) vs all three of Lance's Dragonite's
(Just a quick note here, this is what I put Brilg on my team for, this very moment, and let me tell you, I couldn't be any prouder of my boy Brilg)
>The first Dragonite gets Blizzard off, but Brilg is still doing fine and uses Ice Shard, leaving it with ONE HP Lance heals, doesn't matter, Ice Shard then chooses to crit, saving me one PP, not that it matters
>Second Dragonite, level 50, is up next Brilg Ice Shards again
>"Dragonite used Fire Blast!" >Oh crap >"But it missed!" >I'll chose to take this as the game apologising to me for those two Focus Blasts earlier >Third and final Dragonite appears >Ice Shard and Dragon Rush trade, leaving Brilg with 23 or so HP >Ice Shard's higher priority finishes off Dragonite Lalma vs Aerodactyl
>Aerodactyl uses Crunch, Lalma uses Rock Throw >Both down to half >Not taking a chance, heal Lalma >Crunch before next Rock Throw lowers defence, next one could kill >Now or never >Rock Throw lands, ending the fight and securing my place as Champion of Johto Well, now i've only got eight more Gyms and Red to go now, but I would think it's decently smooth sailing from here.
