finished with akala island. added Dreadnought the larvitar along the way. Casmetra did the heavy lifting for firium-z, while Voladora did the bulk of the work for grassium-z. olivia wasn't much of a challenge. on our way to ula'ula.

Johto level curve strikes again, though I partial blame catching wild pokemon that don't scale with the trainers at all. Either way everything so far has just been a total cakewalk.

Hoping to get something nice from the odd egg though

Grass trial done, Kukukuroku took down Totem Lurantis and Castform on her own, only needing Ruby's help to take out the opposing Trumbeak (she evolved after the battle)
Late update since I spent a long time hunting for a Feebas and a Prism Scale, but finally found both, resulting in our gorgeous Alaska.

beat totem togedemaru and obtain electrium-z. felt kind of dirty to cheese it with three rotom boosts on Dreadnought, but i'll get over it.
as mentioned before, lost the THRID drifblim of the gen vii runs, the second to hau. absolutely brutal. Penn the leafeon joins the squad, not a great nature but would have been an even worse nature for a flareon. gonna have to leave grass/ice/steel types to Voladora for now.

Odd egg hatched into a Elekid, because of course it did. Couldn't bring myself to release the little dude so decided to permabox him. The level curve continued to sit in the 12-14 area for trainers until we actually made it to Bugsy where it suddenly jumped to 20 for his Scyther, which was unexpected but a nice challenge compared to what's been happening.

Now I just need to figure out who to replace so I can use Cut

>>44911072
I think the curve on the trainers is just too low, that's the weirdest thing so far besides doing this dance of avoiding the grass on certain routes. It makes me wonder if starting someplace like blackthorn or cinnabar is even possible to nuzlocke

Howdy, I'm the motherfucker from last thread considering nuzlocking Pokemon Reborn now going under the moniker of Heeho because why not, this seems like the only thread where namefagging is alright.

Also just came in to clarify for... WHENEVER the fuck I start Reborn: I assume Pokemon that you can get multiples of DON'T count as the quest Pokemon? I recall there being Plusle/Minun that you could get multiples of with Pokesnax or this totem that requires this doll to summon Baltoy/Golett/Elgyem. I assume those are off limits unless it's the first thing encountered in that area? Other than that the single Pokemon of their species that are found in side-quests and whatnot are alright.

>>44912919
Also, Torkoal's always a great Pokemon honestly. Slow as molasses but tanky enough to, well, tank a hit. Especially physical. Plus you can't go wrong with the classic FWG. Damn good mixed attacker too.

I mean it's really up to you. I just think if you're already allowing all quest mons independent of area capture then they're still fine to get as they are still technically quest mons, just you shouldn't get more than one. Game's already unfair enough as is, you can bend the rules a little.

Well I forgot to take off the numbers for my last random roll so I decided to just do it again and see if I got something more interesting. Which ended up being Blaine. All the regular trainers are totally underleveled and pushovers I will say that, except for one random guy who unexpectedly had a Crobat that knew Hyper Beam. Blaine was easy too, just spammed surf, but at least his pokemon were on par with me.

Lee almost bit the bullet on Grant's Amaura. Didn't get the defensive drop or kill it on the first Rock Smash, got paralyzed, and the survived a Refrigerate Take Down with 3 health left to hit the Rock Smash through Paralysis. Frank was able to take out the Tyrunt with a single Fairy Wind.

On a side note, finally caught my first shiny in about 6 in a half years while running aroudn Isle of Armour in Shield, found a Shiny Midday Lycanroc.

Weavile is using ice punch
he can't OHKO and he can't take 2 hits (5 level difference)
original plan was for Snek to get a curse or 2 in then coast to victory, but got frozen turn 1 and chipped down for 5 turns hoping to get unfrozen and rest

ended up switching to Fishstick, then send out Kimchi and drain punch him, but that was a damn hard choice

Anyone ever do a run with some insane rule?

I've had some ideas of things that are hard but probably doable:

- No Super Effective moves
- Only Not Very Effective moves allowed
- Only weak moves allowed (< than some arbitrary BP)
- No evolving
- No switching

But the holy grail would probably be a NO HEALING AT ALL run, except for forced story heals.

Since Sword/Shield are arguably the easiest games, I might legitimately try a no heal of that. But then you get into things like what kind of healing is allowed or not: Recover? Giga Drain? Leftovers? Berries? PP?

It's very tempting honestly and I'd probably get fucked, but just curious if anyone's ever done something insane like this.

call it "no direct healing" meaning no potions, no Recover clones, no Berries unless they're held items. All other moves/items/abilities considered indirect (tho I might have overlooked something)

alright second rival down, no casualties thus far, 3 new captures. really like that this game implemented clover's 'consumables don't get consumed for boss fights' thing, made it easy to just slap oran berries on everyone.
the rival's AI is....noticeably fucky, he ended up switching out waaaay too much between starly and charmander. makes me a tad concerned for when i fight someone actually difficult.

Yeah, really thinking about it, it would probably end up being a grind fest as I keep losing mons. The attachment aspect is one of the best parts of nuzlockes.

>>44920543
I've considered hacks, but for now I'll stick to vanilla games because I enjoy the pokemon being "official" and being able to stick around for future generations.

So overall, I think I might go with something less insane but still tough. Maybe no Super Effective moves? Anyone can breeze through by OHKOing everything, but this way, it'll be far less likely to happen.

the drayano hacks are honestly really good for a challenging nuzlocke
they don't change the course of the game, they just make it more difficult, give a much wider availability of pokemon and make it significantly easier to build a good team (buffs to weak pokemon, vastly increased access to TM's, move tutors and EV training opportunities)

this was how my team ended up at the end

First casualties unfortunately. Fedora was due to the expected kind of bullshit, but Pickelhaube was just a bad situation. Somebody is going to die vs a 4 Voltorb team. Pryce was the first gym leader with a higher level than us which was good, but Plug + Zuch cleaned house. Probably will do some exploring around the Lake of Rage + the Towers before fighting Blue.

>>44919688

haha, it was not a good idea to do this blind. come the end of viridian forest and i'm thrust into a (thankfully easy) fight against brendan of all people, and in pewter city gym there's a fight against falkner that seems mandatory for progression. also wasn't too hard, but he had a corvisquire, which likely would've ran through my team had it not been for cain.
brock was...interestingly difficult. not only does he switch a lot, he also packs a vulpix to ensure horace can't just beat his entire team. and moreover, his onix is STRONG - it wasn't even taking half from vine whips, and it was doing a shit ton damage through a -1 from jan's baby doll eyes. it came down to an exchange where onix left me on a single hit point with horace before i killed it, then swapped in cain to beat the vulpix and claim the victory.
baby doll eyes is a great move for nuzlockes so i'm really sad jan bit it, but i didn't see any scenario where she could survive. does piss me off it was a crit but i don't think it would've changed anything

In the fight vs the Rival on the way to Mauville, Wailmer got a Rollout started, and Sheila the Shroomish couldn't take it out in time, and despite Stun Spore, it was never getting paralyzed. Noone could survive the 5th hit, so I switched in the team member I was the most alright with sacking. The Monarch laid down his life, because the 5th Rollout was not getting stopped by either missing or paralysis.

It's nice to see an actually interesting gen 2 team. No disrespect to anyone; the base games just make it really difficult. Most cool encounters are nearly impossible chances on like one route or some shit.
>>44920230
No evolving would be interesting. The second seems a bit impractical though. No healing would be a run to see how far you get rather than if you can complete the game.
It's not really an insane rule, but I had a base stat limit in a Leaf Green nuzlocke I did once. It wasn't too hard, but that's either because it was Kanto or because the limit was 420.

Last I'll do for tonight I think, just got to Mt. Moon. Apparently Max Raids are in this hack, which is really cool, buuuuut I don't know if the Nidoran I got from it was a one-time thing or even necessarily legal considering I had already got a Flabebe from the same route. Never played SwSh so I don't even know if they're the same in that game. Going to err on the side of caution and say it doesn't count, at least for now. Rewards were super nice, so if I can repeat them, I'm grinding the shit out of them.

Well after dicking around for a bit I decided to just go for it on Blue, and won pretty easily. Same with Whitney who was rolled next thanks to Magneton walling her. The problem came right after that as the game has these "Special" trainers which are self inserts of the dev team that have high levelled pokemon and strong movesets. I wound up fighting one outside of Union Cave accidentally and they had a Level 40 Quagsire with EQ, Ice Beam, and Surf, so without any grass coverage that did me in pretty easily. So that pretty much killed my mood. Time to rebuild I guess.

>>44921693
Yeah even though I just got wiped I'm going to say yes. I got baited by that trainer, and my pokemon would probably be in better shape if I wasn't challenging the gyms in a random order. I feel like if I was just going through in a straight line it would be no problem.
>>44922250
It's good. The quality of life changes are okay, and the open world feel is impressive, but really the best part is the unique lines you get for the pokemon that can follow you.
>>44923798
F for Linoone. Love the first route rodents.
Thanks though, wish they could have stuck around. I do like being able to access good encounters.

finished with ultra sun. gotta say, the league was incredibly underwhelming compared to the league in sun/moon. maybe it's because i had two pseudo-legendaries AND the clear cut best starter in the game imo.
overall i think i got super lucky in this run to not lose anyone in much more challenging late game (league excluded). i don't expect ultra moon to be as forgiving or lucky.

In this case it's okay to implement the Pinwheel clause. There are only a few cases it happens in the games, although I think USUM has the most (Route 1, and to a lesser extent Ten Carat Hill, and Vast Poni Canyon). Some people will also treat different Safari Zone encounter tables differently.

run has not been kind to the ladies so far. archer is added as a new boss at the end of mt. moon, and despite giving his ace mightyena -1 speed from cain's rock tomb, it still outsped and one shotted jemina with an ice fang. and, again, could have potentially ran through the team had bradley not been an absolute tank who landed a lucky paralysis with spark.

this time i made sure to do the max raid event first, nabbing myself cedric the pansage in the process (still have no idea how to treat max raid mons, but i did catch a shinx for my first encounter on the same route just in case). despite 3 grass types, though, misty is definitely worrying - this is definitely the kind of game that would give her ice beam to muscle through my team. might just skip her entirely and go to vermilion, if the game even allows me. or might do some ev training/grinding since the game handed me the macho brace.

Ghost trial done, Kukukuroku managed to take out Totem Mimikyu singlehandedly with a Bullet Seed followed up by a Drill Peck, though she would've died if the ally Gengar did anything other than Hypnosis on turn 2 (if it had anything that could hit Normal types that is), Zatanna being sent out to finish the battle

Now that I'm on Ula'ula for a second time I'm really feeling the nuzlocke fatigue set in, it's always on the third island for some reason, but I'll power through, there's not much left after all.

That's rough. I'm not through yet, but probably wont use many more Kanto pokemon. I'd be able to get Nidoran M and Weedle before Brock, Jigglypuff, Ekans, Clefairy, Magikarp and Bellsprout before Misty. I'm not as bad off as you I guess.

so, headed towards cerulean cape until my boys hit the level cap, which is level 27 at the moment. rival was an utter joke - despite his shittalk about how i always lag behind him after the battle, an evolved cain literally solo'd him without its health falling below green. bugsy was also at the cape too, and while i did solo him with cain as well, he had some tricks like a heavily buffed bug/fighting (?) ledian (which did not use a fighting move thankfully) and charti berry scyther.

one thing i don't love about this hack is all the weird dialogue that dates it or is out of place. stuff like the scientist who gives you the dynamax band saying "in this hack your mom doesn't love you", the karate guy who usually teaches mega kick but now gives a macho brace going "do you even smogon", bugsy talking about quarantine, etc. also, for some reason, you're given a snover egg in both pewter and cerulean city...? not sure if that was intentional. def take a grass type that resists ice beam before misty though.

it appears max raids DO respawn. so i'll leave it up to you all: can i get my first mon from them, or can i get them and the first capture on the route? in any case, max raids respawning means i can safely grind money very quickly early game, so i decided to change cain's nature to something optimal (spending 7500 at the pokemart allows you to just do
that, super nice feature) - will likely do the same for the rest of my party.

Thank you! I didn't really have a planned route desu. I just wanted to play Platinum first, but now I'm not sure if that even counts as an autismlocke since I didn't start with gen 1. All these rules are self-imposed anyway, right? If nothing else, it will be an all main games thing.

Things are off to a great start. /sarcasm Gooba went full retard and got himself killed, but then I realized I went full retard by not just going up from Jubilife City to train there. Rival was a joke anyway, so the extra grinding was totally unnecessary, oof.

misty went...oddly well. i think doing a bit of ev training and muscle/genius/speed wing abuse from the raids before the battle definitely helped.
>frogadier
was taken out by bronn's bullet seed.
>starmie
her ace, of course. it outsped a fucking jolly, near max IV 130 speed EV bronn and landed an icy wind (thank god it wasn't beam, i so thought it was going to be beam), bringing him down to low yellow. landed a 2-hit bullet seed as it popped a sitrus to go back to green. i said fuck it, then sent out cain to bite and accelerock it. oddly never went for a water move, only going for psybeam on cain - i guess it could tell i had a passho berry?
>floatzel
thought it was physical so i sent in the new guy, felix, to soften it up. turns out its special, VERY specially strong at that, and it landed a huge water pulse that nearly took felix out. just sent in horace to beat it down, thankfully the only other attack it seemed to have was swift.

and (relatively) easy cascade badge. poster below my last update said i should probably use raid mons so i'll distinguish them from the regular captures.

as the rest of the posters said, it's really up to you. in a sense, doing platinum first will probably make diamond and pearl whenever you feel like getting to them easier.

Well that took most of the day. At least I'm really confident in the team's ability again. We got our vengeance, pretty much cut an easy path to Falkner (the regular trainers were way underleveled), and then beat him. Though he did use some evasion strats that got annoying and looked dicey. Next up is Chuck, so time to see what western Johto is finally like.

Here to share this in case you faggots haven't seen it.

For context: This guy was playing Pokemon Platinum and got his Turtwig and named it "Shield" since he likes Monster Hunter and loves the Sword&Shield. He later caught a Gible who he named Sword but got killed. Shield was his tank as you probally guessed and kept his team safe from danger.
When he arrived to Route 213 where those suite houses are, he got in the restaurant to fight some trainers and gain EXP.
He got into a battle where there was a Rhyhorn who knew Horn Drill. It first used it but missed, when his Grotle "Shield" was going to attack it, he was confused and hit himself.

As soon as the dude said "Please don't (use) Horn Drill" the text bubble appeared that said "Foe's Rhyhorn used Horn Drill!" the screen then faded to black and this clip played.

I began this nuzlocke at the beginning of the year, but then the lockdown fucked up my schedule and ended up giving me a ton of extra work, got Corona anyway and completely forgot about the run. Decided to continue again today on a whim. Just before I stopped I beat Morty with a Ditto and lost Coins the Furret to a Noctowl in the Lighthouse. Today I got to Cianwood while training up Full House the Eevee, I had no trouble fighting Eugene in Cianwood, got the medicine and brought it back. Then I went back to Cianwood to get more encounters and train in the routes before Safari Zone, then beat Chuck. Unfortunately I got Full House killed against a trainer's Horsea on the way, as I got greedy after they used Focus Energy. Not a good way to pick up a run after so long.
On the bright side I caught a Misdreavous in Cliff Cave, which I didn't even knew were there. I put her on the team because I never used one before and I'm expecting great things (or great dissapointment).

Sabrina absolutely wrecked my team, requiring a lot of sacrifices to not just have the run sink. We now only have Tesla as a full fledged member, and Planck sitting in the back.

Moving onward enemy team comps are starting to get noticeably tougher. The Team Rocket grunt in Cerulean who robs the house actually gave me trouble with his Gurdurr, and there were several trainers on the route to Vermilion that were strangely strong.
A fight with Brendan is added east of Vermilion, which took me by surprise. He had damn good coverage too - a Loudred packing Ice Punch and a Grovyle packing Aerial Ace were particularly brutal. Bradley managed to lower Grovyle's speed with a Bulldoze, taking a Leaf Blade in the process, before Bronn could come in and stomach enough Aerial Aces with Synthesis to finish it. Sadly, his Lunatone came out next and procced a lucky confusion on Bronn and without anything to really switch to (Cain was too weak from dealing with Loudred to bring in safely) I kept Bronn in, he sadly hit himself and died on the followup.
Two things of note are another fucking Snover egg vendor in Vermilion (honestly can't tell if this is a bug at this point) and the daycare, which I'll likely need to use later once enemy teams start bringing out max EV/IV shit.

For nearly the end of the game, things went better than expected. Archie was extremely easy thanks to Tricycle, and Emerald introduced some good late-game grinding areas. Fighting Juan was mostly easy too; most of his team went down in one shot. For the Kingdra I planned to use Maribel's Sweet Scent to counter its Double Teams, but I failed to account for the fact that Sweet Scent can miss. This resulted in a PP stall which ended when Kingdra Struggled to death. Fortunately no one died.
Going into the League this is the team I expect to have:
>Liz Frizzle the Sceptile
>Torkoal "THE TOLL
>Anton the Flygon
>Tricycle
>Bubby the Walrein
I struggled to think of what to do for my last member. I think I will go with the Anorith. I left it in the daycare since I got it, so roughly 20 in-game hours ago. Gotta love the late-game grind sessions for every gym.

Just got stomped by Chuck of all people. Primeape was a joke, but Poliwrath kicked my ass. Hierophant got paralyzed by body slam, I switched out to King of Hearts to heal him, but he got killed taking two focus punches in the process. Hierophant then got paralyzed and focus punched himself, making the King's sacrifice moot. Also finally picked up that package mom sent me half a year ago before I forgot about the run. It was a moonstone.
Not sure who to replace them with, currently edging towards Blackjack the Venonat and Discard the Magnemite. Venonat generally has good coverage and tinted lense is a blessing when grinding, and Magnemite would make up for the third flying-weakness. Might see how Raise is levelling in the daycare, as 2/3 upcoming gyms have attacks that are strong against their own ace.

Probably Lileep, I might want to save as many solid mons as possible for my W2 run, since that will be my first time playing Challenge Mode since almost all the way back when the games released.

Welp, I guess i should be happy Sheila had a nice showing against Norman, because that gave her a sweet final achievement.
I accidentally switched her in against Bird Trainer Chester's Swellow- I thought I highlighted Volug, and pressed the button while sipping tea.
The Swellow proceeded to strike her down with an Aerial Ace Crit the very second she entered combat.
That's my Breloom gone. Lesson learned- put the cup down while switching mons.

That being said, I'm not entirely sure who I'll make the final team member. Don't really feel like adding two Ice weak team members at once. Guess Aryll the Pelipper will stay for a while longer.

Well Chuck was pretty much a wash. Dunce cleared the whole gym without much trouble. Though they decided to give him a Shuckle named CHUCKLE, that was a nice touch.
I rolled Erika next and beat her pretty easily too, pretty much what you expect with a clean sweep from Pith + Collar, and Bicorne showed up too. Gym aces are around 48, so I'm happy with what level my mons are at.

Interesting story there.
I didn't want to use Bellossom because I didn't think it would add much to the team. Its only attacks are grass type, which is already covered. It could bring sleep to the team, but I didn't think removing another team member just to bring it in was worth it.
Then THE TOLL took a nasty Selfdestruct in Victory Road and I needed a new member. I was considering Sableye, but that's a lot of grinding I'm not willing to do. So Bellossom is on the team now.

Took Discard and Blackjack to team Rocket HQ and spent the day grinding them up. Pretty happy with the team rn, though I did realise half way through the grinding that I Archer's houndoom can really fuck me up if I don't keep Flush safe in the next two gym battles. Don't expect much trouble, but I'll stay on guard this time.

And we did it! League went about as smoothly as it possibly could, with every trainer being soloed by one mon
Hala by Guren, Kahili by Kukukuroku, Olivia by Zatanna, Acerola by Richard and Zatanna finishing everything off by soloing Kukui all on her own
This run was pretty interesting as it was my first fully utilizing Island Scan, being able to carry a Deino with me through the entire game and have her blow a major hole in the league feels cathartic as fuck
Hopefully USUM will bring many fun Island Scan opportunities as well!

So went with Dewgong because of level up ice beam and less grinding. Claire was pretty interesting there were some unexpected mons in her gym (one trainer had Jynx and another Sneasel), and she herself had a Charizard and Gyarados alongside her Kingdra and Dragonites. Still though, Water/Ice carried the day. Sabrina is probably going to sit around 65 or so. Been grinding in Cerulean Cave to take her on.

>>44947168
Yeah, I like my team as is right now but it's a shame some of those box mons aren't going to see use.
>>44947378
That was my decision point, I think Wooper might be better in the long run. But Unshanka was going to be immediate gratification vs Clair.

I've done one for all of Drayano's hacks bar FR Omega (it just seems like a pretty mediocre update on Fire Red so I just don't care) without items, on set mode, and without (much) grinding.
It's less about luck and more just managing what you have efficiently. EVs, held items/genuine strategy and synergy, knowing what the competition is going to throw at you all are crucial. Because everything is made decently viable you don't even need to worry about bad captures. Nowadays they're honestly actually some of the most tame 'hard' games to do Nuzlockes of, especially Renegade Platinum which gives you almost the best way to grind in any game I've ever seen.
They're not as hard as that one 'pro Nuzlocker' nigger on Youtube pretends where he needed 40 tries to beat Blaze Black.

Unshaka 3HKO'D it, Sacred Fire didn't do as much to him as I expected and we were lucky to have no burns. Still it definitely messed things up and we probably would have lost somebody if I was playing with hard caps on item use (trying to limit it to as many as the opponent uses)

Anyway, just cleared the lighthouse and I'll probably handle Jasmine tomorrow. Even without a suprise Lugia appearance I expect this one to be pretty terrible.

haven't done much and likely will not do much this week due to two big tests. i was bored while rewatching lectures and didn't really feel like making progression towards surge (i've heard he's supposed to be absolutely brutal) so i did all my catches bar a raid den on route 11 and a regular catch on route 6, then did a LOT of ev training for the squad. maxed out the stats then optimized the natures using the lady in the pokemon center. even though cain and bradley aren't optimized, cain is the inarguable MVP of the run, just so goddamn strong and fast that he's actually flat better than most of my trained bros, and bradley is here because i think he'll be real good for surge.

while a mostly grass team honestly is pretty cool, it does not appear i will get ev reducing stuff until celadon/saffron (or the ability to evolve several of my pokemon, looking at the documentation), and i don't know if i want to go through a good stretch of game with unoptimal mons. maybe not the proper nuzlocke way of looking at things where you're supposed to grow attached to your bros and not make hyper-efficient killers, but hey, i don't want my guys to die.

Decided to deal with the two biggest obstacles before Surge in one fell swoop:

>Whitney
Again, this is where I wish this romhacker didn't try to be funny. Whitney making jokes about guys wanting feet pics from her just feels really out of place. Anyway, I actually decided to forego Ciel, just because its low stats were really, really worrying.

There's not a ton to say about Whitney. She has a Wigglytuff, her signature Miltank, a Vigoroth, and a very unexpected Indeedee. Aria destroyed the Wigglytuff, and I sent in a newly evolved Horatio on the Miltank to set up a leech seed before it got me surprisingly low with an Ice Punch (in hindsight, very stupid, could have had Sap Sipper). So I went to Irey to set up Iron Defenses, then ChestoResto'd off its Stomping Tantrums, Vigoroth and Miltank both had healing moves, but Heavy Metal with Heavy Slam is way too strong. Indeedee landed a Mystical Fire but it didn't even do half before getting one shot.
After winning, I get some pretty useless Moomoo Milks (again, can't use bag items in battle) but a very useful Eviolite, so maybe Ciel will see some use after all.

The SS Anne seems largely unedited, bar a Rock Polish TM and obviously the trainers. However while going through, the literal last trainer on the ship, a Sailor, brought a Meditite who critted Cedric the Pansage with a Hi Jump Kick and killed him from near full ;(. I brought him along specifically to grind off water types too, rest in peace buddy.
The main rival bizarrely isn't here, I'm guessing because of the added Brendan battle. But that's Cut and potentially the option to go to Celadon/Saffron early. I think I'll still fight Surge first as that's more interesting and probably necessary for level cap shenanigans.

Surge was...interesting, to say the least.

I lead with Ciel, he leads with Pincurchin. Given this game has a lot of influence from Clover, and the electric gym in that game starts with an Electric Terrain setter, I thought something similar would start here.

>Pincurchin
It sets terrain, Ciel just wastes time. It reveals Scald, so I try to Drain Punch thinking it's trying to bait me on a ground type switch in, but it lands a Discharge on the turn I attack and paralyzes me. I make a hard choice to swap hard into Aria as it thankfully tries to Volt Switch and, despite a Shuca Berry, it drops in one hit as the terrain fades.
>Manectric
I just go for Bulldoze again as Surge fucking MEGA EVOLVES it and lands a Flame Burst, bringing me to low yellow. Holy shit I actually got a fright. I actually opened up a calculator to ensure I could still outspeed it after the -1 from Bulldoze and it was a goddamned speed tie assuming 31 IVs/+Spe Nature/max EVs. So I sent in Cain as he actually manually switches and brings out...
>Vikavolt
Poor choice. One Rock Slide (flinch, thank goodness) and an Accelerock and it's dead.
>Raichu-Alola
It Grass Knots as I swap to Irey, who I built as specially tanky. Bulldoze BARELY fails to knock it out as it Nasty Plots, but THANKFULLY it just goes for Volt Switch to knock me down to yellow as Mega Manectric comes back out, dying to the next Bulldoze.
I then finish the fight by swapping back to Cain and Accelerocking, didn't want to risk a crit on Irey.

So yeah, mega evolutions before the player can get them! That's pretty fair. Still was a fun fight, though, and no losses, so I can't complain.

That's the Thunder Badge, and a Volt Switch TM. No updates other than badge

Quoted By:

Ended up getting a suprising amount done today. The Radio Tower was pretty fun for being so one sided. I always thought it's pretty cool how it makes you rematch all the executives, and it felt good finally getting revenge for Bluff by demolishing Proton. The team's working pretty solid in practise, though I do rely heavily on Flush and Discard to protect me from fire and flying weaknesses.
The dialogue in the Radio Tower does make me wonder when you're supposed to clear the lake of rage and the Mahogany HQ tough. They make it sound like it's supposed to have been a while since you saw Petrel and Ariane, but I usually do the HQ just before challenging Pryce, after which I instantly go to the Radio Tower.
I'm a bit nervous about challenging Clair. I might get Raise (the Ditto with a choice scarf, courtesy of mom) out of the daycare to help after I'm done grinding. Not expecting him to take on Kingdra, but it'd do to get rid of those Dragonair. Though honestly I'd just like to use him again, beating a gym leader with a Ditto in a nuzlocke feels pretty great.

>>44956582
That's a big f man. I was really cheering for him too.

>>44957106
Pretty much always. In most games before gen 6 I just need the exp., but even if I'm overlevelled it feels wasteful not to fight them.

>>44957170
Island scan in nuzlocke is a pretty cool idea, don't know why I never thought of that. Hope Roque makes it far, Blastoise would look cool on an Alolan champion team.

I finally have all the badges, but its definitely bittersweet. No surprise Lugia on Jamine's team, but it was an interesting battle nonetheless. Started with Skarmory which went down to one Flamethrower from Collar, then into Blastoise, which prompted the switch to Dunce and Giga Drains to outheal its Ice Beams. Ampharos came next, which was packing fire punch, but Dunce took it down with a Crit Psychic. Switch to Scizor meant a switch to Collar, and a OHKO from Flamethrower.

But then came the level 75 Steelix, her ace. I was sure I could OHKO it still with Flamethrower but I guess I was too reckless as it had literally 1 HP left, and killed Collar with an EQ. Unshanka finished the job with Surf, and Qaraqul took down her Magneton with Fire Punch. Victory Road and E4 is next I guess.

>>44956334

Yeah, strongest pokemon trainer on Route 10 had a level 24 Gulpin, then on route 11, when there are no other battles in between, everyone has level 27-28 pokemon. I was pretty underleveled only being 21-22. Then Reflection cave was a little stressful because everything was so strong even after grinding up to 25-26 before heading into it.

>>44958172
I don't even know why I said purple was default, since I actually don't think there is a default skin. It's just the Polar skin I have which somehow brainfarted me into thinking it was default.

So this was an interesting experience. They're all different self inserts that I've fought along the way instead of the usual Johto E4. Only two of them had strategies that seemed coherent, the first being a Rain Team, and the third being some kind of Sunny Day team that never got to set up in the face of a Pinsir Sweep of all things. The second guy even had a level 62 Shiny Omanyte as their ace, so it wasn't too difficult compared to Morty's Ho-oh. Tragedy did strike on the fourth battle though as a crit Dynamicpunch from "E4 Honeybun's" Heracross did Pith in.

The Champ, predictably, was Shockslayer himself.
>Shiny Cloyster
Bicorne was still my lead and got hit by Toxic right away, prompting a switch to Qaraqul. Surf hurt, and TPunch didn't OHKO, but it wasn't enough. Cloyster was down soon enough
>Shiny Jolteon
Switched to Mitre even though in hindsight Dunce would have been better. Thunderbolt was not as threatening as it could have been and Extremespeed 2HKO'd
>Shiny Tyranitar
Kept Mitre in knowing the risks, because I didn't want to switch Dunce into anything super effective, Rock Slide missed, allowing Waterfall to 2HKO
>Shiny Blissey
Switched to Bicorne in hopes of potentially setting up, but when Seismic toss hit I knew I wouldn't have the chance. Submission unboosted took it down to a little under half, and Bicorne was hurting after Recoil and Seismic Toss #2. The Second Submission took down Blissey, but Bicorne had to sacrifice himself in the process to do it. F.
>Shiny Scizor
Switched to Unshanka for this, it tried to do some weird Substitute setup strat, but didn't get off the ground because Surf was too strong. Pretty easy.
>Shiny Skarmory
Level 72, the Champ's ace. I didn't really get to see what it was capable of becuase it went down in two Surfs.

After that a Level 70 Shiny Swinub ran in and fought us and was OHKO'd by Mitre. Then we got into the Hall of Fame. Big F for the fallen, but there's still Red to go after the rebuild.
