dragonium-z obtain. we took some losses, though. as mentioned, the drifblim line took it's FOURTH loss of gen VII as Shenandoah was crit to death. Dio the mimikyu took the open spot, but his time was short.. Dio barely survived an air slash and poison jab when he took down totem-kommo, but he was poisoned and perished as well. rip comrades ;__;7.
not sure who's gonna take the open spot. maybe pancham/pangoro for coverage.

I don't feel comfortable against Milotic even with the dances, so I send Zora in instead.
She Rain Dances the next turn, and Milotic wakes up and Ice Beams.
Zora hits hard with Grass Knot, and takes another Ice Beam.

to everyone who noted this game was starting to get real bullshit yesterday, yeah, it's apparently going to get much worse.

surprisingly, there's no boss in rock tunnel, one thing to note about this hack is that hms are automatic - simply having a pokemon in your party that can perform an hm will make it automatically activate when needed. so cut just means you can press A on trees to destroy them, flash automatically illuminates rock tunnel and makes it a lot less tedious, liked that quite a bit.

there's also no forced boss from lavender to celadon, either. the rival isn't even in pokemon tower. there is a weird NPC in mr. fuji's house who i guess is supposed to be morty, i don't feel like facing him yet as i feel he'll have some BS like mega gengar and i don't have the best mons for taking out ghosts. might explore celadon today, might not

New rule! I can use one healing item in battle for each opponent. Three healing items allowed against Roark for example, six against the champion, two against some random trainer, etc. I hope this adds some challenge while not making it impossible for my dumb ass. I'm running out of good rules to add btw, please suggest some. Also, gotta love that I have so many now that the rules section of my image is now near impossible to understand.
Anyway gen 4 holds a weird place in my heart because Diamond was my first game (zoomer moment). However I hardly revisit the region because my actual copy of Diamond has a file with 300 or so hours that I've had since I was 6 that I refuse to delete even though I never use it anymore. My sister happens to have an extra copy of Diamond, so that's how I'm playing. Nothing too crazy yet, though the Roark fight was pretty annoying because I wanted to use Canadian instead of Mackinac, and Canadian's physical attack is shit.

>>44966109

Post-Kanto, beating all of the gyms. After Linny died while grinding, I said fuck it, I don't want to grind any more team members. So we're rolling with five now.

All of the gyms were pretty easy, except Blue, which gave some trouble through his Exeggutor and Gyarados, but in those spots, Al and Planck pulled through. Grinding for Red now.

I prefer not to emulate, but when I do I speed up all the time. I have it set to the right trigger on my controller. Funny enough when I'm playing other games and I get impatient I hold the right trigger expecting something to happen, only to remember that's not how things work. Admittedly my choice to not emulate makes some games painfully slow (most of my nuzlockes seem to be in the 30-40 hour range).

WE DID IT! SILVER DOWN!
I grinded the team up to the high 60s so it's a fair challenge, here's a summary of the Red fight:
>Pikachu
Al uses Earthquake to instagib it, ezpz.
>Espeon
I switch in my HM slave Chinchou to sacrifice it for a free switch in for Planck. Planck takes it down to half health with the first Shadow Ball, Red gets greedy and uses Calm Mind. The second Shadow Ball kills it.
>Snorlax
Here's where things start to go south. This thing absolutely destroys Planck, so I switch in Tesla who almost gets killed & get paralyzed by its Body Slam. Then I remember it doesn't any diverse moves, so I switch in Al who walls it and takes it down with Earthquakes.
>Venusaur
I switch in Carson to tank its Solarbeams and whittle it down with Ice Punch. Unfortunately, at the last hit, it high rolls and kills Carson. RIP. I switch in Tesla, who responds with a Fire Punch to kill it.
>Blastoise and Charizard
Both get swept by Tesla, securing the dub.

This was a rough run, but we pulled through strong at the end. Tesla was easily the Kanto MVP, basically soloing the entire region himself. Ampharos, Kingler, and Golem enter the hall of champions, and are banned from future runs. Crystal is up next; post number decides my starter, odd number is Cyndaquil, even number is Totodile.

celadon is pretty interesting. there's a considerable amount more gift pokemon than the base game, a man who can set one pokemon's IVs to the max for 350k (the vs seeker has actually been removed from the hack so this is harder than it sounds to abuse), and a closed game corner, presumably until i beat erika. there isn't anything that stops you from going to saffron either, and there's a guy there who can subtract off EVs for free, as well as a guy who can swap your pokemon's ability to its HA for the price of a bottle cap, a rare drop from raids.

so, after doing a bit of messing, i reset my early pokemon's EVs, and am likely going to get to work grindan up a team for erika and morty. might just train the whole damn box.

in case anyone wants to do a nuzlocke of this too and is reading as a point of reference, here's my ev training spots

HP: marill/audino/yamper on route 25 are fairly common
Atk: mt. moon's tunnels have a ridiculously high spawn rate for paras
Def: rock tunnel for graveler/aron
SpA: haunter in pokemon tower
SpD: lombre on route 8
Spe: diglett tunnel for, well, diglett and dugtrio

Starting Crystal, odd number post so rolling with Cyndaquil again. Pretty generic first encounters, but I'm waiting until early tomorrow to pick this up again so I have a chance to get Phanpy & Teddiursa. Thanks to my banlist, if I don't get Phanpy on Route 46, I miss out on a encounter there entirely. And in Dark Cave if I don't get Teddiursa or Dunsparce (lol), I don't get on there either.

>>44969341

This actually made me wanna go back through my notes to see what I've done with my Kanto starters previously
Seems like I got Squirtle in Red, Blue, Yellow, LeafGreen and Y, it died pretty early in LeafGreen (lvl 23) whereas in all the other run I deliberately boxed it as a Squirtle or early Wartortle
In all the other runs where I picked one of the other two starters (FireRed and X) I champed them, so hopefully I'll finally give the Squirtle line the honors this go around.

Good luck on getting those morning encounters btw, they'd be some sick editions to your team, I'd be especially jealous of getting that Teddiursa since I tried getting it myself in Crystal but failed.

Claire wasn't that difficult, I even brought Raise along just for fun and he cleared the Dragonair to let Flush go into Kingdra fresh. The kimono girls were a bit harder, almost killing False Deal and Strength, but no biggie. Just when I thought I had been doing so well, disaster struck. RIP Discard, you always pulled through for us, even if he never stood in the spotlight. At least he went down in a way he deserved, fighting a legendary pokémon. Lugia then also nearly killed False Deal and Flush, luckily he decided to heal Flush through water absorb instead of killing him.
Now Victory Road awaits and I have to choose who to fill that final slot. I probably won't bring Raise, as much as I'd love to, because I doubt he'll be able to transform into anything useful without getting killed in the E4. I still have some encounters to catch, so I might wait a little bit longer before choosing. Mareep or Graveler are probably the most logical choices to fill the gap, but Lickilicky and Delibird are some of my favourite mons of all time. Dratini is cool, but too much of a pain for me to train.

>>44967369
I play all games of gen 4+ on the console, so no speed-up for me. I prefer being able to sit back and watch a stream or something while playing the game.

Too bad it didn't work out with Buttons, especially since she's been around for so long. Furfrou don't tend to do so well in the late game in my experience, so I'm impressed you got her that far to begin with.

finished with ultra moon and gen VII. the league was cake. molayne was taken down by Zenyatta and Squiddleton. olivia was pummeled by Agujjim, Megas, and Zenyatta. Korbac swept acerola after Zale set up screens and rocks. Zale's rocks tore through golf lady's while Agujjim zapped mopped them up. hau was taken down by a group effort.
done with gen VII, it was fine. carbink was surprisingly useful as a support pokemon who could tank quite a bit, mudsdale was as good as advertised, even if it was a little frailer than expected. lanturn was fine, metagross kicked ass, malamar was fun, yanmega was around for like 4 fights so i don't really know.

Elite 4 time!

>Sidney
>Mightyena
Ranmaru Sleep Powders it, then Quiver Dances twice, getting Swaggered after the second one- but a Persim Berry solves it.
After that, a Bug Buzz dispatches Mightyena
>Rest of the team
All of them fall to a Bug Buzz each, and only Shiftry gets any hits in, sneaking in a Fake Out.

>Phoebe
>Entire Team
Patricia goes Mega, and tears them all apart with a Shadow Claw each.

>Glacia
>Glalie
Nephenee goes Mega and Rock Polishes as Glalie sets up a Light Screen.
Two Power-Up Punches take out Glalie, who manages to get a Crunch in.
>Walrein
A Stone Edge Miss allows Walrein to land a Surf, which does less than I worried it might.
Next turn, Stone Edge hits its mark.
>Froslass 1, Froslass 2 and Glalie
One Iron Head each does the job.

>Drake
>Altaria
Altaria fires off a Dragon Pulse as Maya Swords Dances.
Altaria Cotton Guards, and another Swords Dance follows
Altaria lands a Dragon Pulse Crit, as Maya maxes out her attack with a final Swords Dance.
Another Dragon Pulse activates Maya's Sitrus Berry and a Stone Edge ends the bluebird.
>Kingdra
It Yawns at Maya, who Earthquakes it into submission.
>Flygon
Not only might this thing have Supersonic, but Maya will fall asleep soon. I cut my losses and switch out Maya.
Aba comes in on a Supersonic.
Next turn, Aba goes Mega and Fakes Out the Flygon.
Flygon busts out an Earthquake, and Aba snaps out of confusion and uses Calm Mind.
Another Earthquake and Calm Mind follows.
Aba spends two turns recovering up most of her health as Flygon keeps quaking.
Finally, after another Earthquake, Flygon falls to Dazzling Gleam.
>Salamence
It misses a Dragon Rush and gets annihilated by Dazzling Gleam.
>Flygon 2
It fires off a Dragon Pulse before falling to a final Dazzling Gleam.

And now for the Champion!
>Vs Steven
>Skarmory
Aba goes Mega and Fakes Out Skarmory.
The next 9 turns are spent on Calm Minds and Recovers on Aba's end, and on Steel Wings on Skarmory's end.
Finally, after all that, Skarmory gets a Steel Wing in before falling to Dark Pulse.
>Aggron
It slams Aba with an Iron Tail, but Dark Pulse takes it down to Sturdy.
Steven uses a Full Restore, and Aba takes the opprtunity to Recover.
An Iron Tail later, Dark Pulse takes Aggron back down to Sturdy.
Expecting another Full Restore, I have Aba Recover again. However, Steven doesn't use a healing item, but instead Iron Tail... only to miss.
A final Iron Tail causes a Defense Drop before Aggron falls to Dark Pulse.
>Claydol
It puts up a Light Screen before going down to Dark Pulse.
>Armaldo
It hits fairly hard with X-Scissor, then gets wiped out by Dark Pulse.
>Cradily
Free healing time, ahoy!
Cradily fires off an Ancient Power and Aba Recovers.
The following two turns are just Giga Drains and Recovers, partly for healing, but also to wait out the Light Screen.
Another Giga Drain, and then Cradily falls to a Dark Pulse Crit.
>Mega-Metagross
I'm a bit worried that the Def Drop will screw me over, but Meteor Mash leaves Aba with 35 HP left, and Dark Pulse ends the fight.

Sadly they both have hindering natures (Calm and Impish respectively), which considering they have pretty shite offensive stats to begin with is not the best
I have a personal gripe with Mawile on top of that, nothing about it from a visual/character perspective, I just have it so ingrained in me that it's a garbage mon (gameplay wise) from trying to use it in previous games (X/Y really driving the point home by giving it to you in the mid level 10s and not giving it a physical STAB until level 50 or something)

Didn't get to play much yesterday so I just grinded Napoleon up before making my way to the E4. Now I'm making my way through Victory Road. Picked Napoleon to replace Discard as mostly because I love the Lickitung line, and he can learn a bunch of useful moves, but now that I caught a Rhyhorn I'm slightly regretting not waiting. Oh well. I feel like I've gotten really lucky with encounters this run.
A friend pointed out how I missed the perfect naming opportunity with Misdreavous, so I changed her name from False Deal to Misdeal, don't know how I missed that. On the topic of Misdreavous; why don't they just give you access to the Gen 4 evolution stones through the pokeathlon? They let you evolve mons like Yanma, Lickitung, Tangela and Piloswine to their Gen 4 evolutions, after all. Why not just allow all of them to evolve at that point? Kinda sucks having to wait until after E4 to evolve Misdreavous.

Frustration activates its Oran Berry, and it Works Up.

I was just about to leave Victory Road and fight Silver when we had an unfortunate run in. I thought Strength would've been able to one-shot a Golbat but it turns out he wasn't, nor did he have the health to take an Air Cutter. RIP Strength, your death cuts deep. Trained up Chariot the Rhyhorn (now Rhydon) as a replacement, careful what you wish for, I suppose.

Do I just suck, or is Gaia not intended to be played without using potions in battle? I'm getting my ass kicked. I've wiped to Aria twice, once to a random guy with two Tangelas in Frostbite Cave (only had a Prinplup and Quagsire thanks to Aria), and once to Eunice in Frostbite Cave (only had a Crobat thanks to Aria). I got to Swablu Tower in this run, but I got destroyed by some old lady with a team full of dragons, at least two of whom knew Dragon Rage.
As you can see, the real stumbling block is Aria. Beating her just seems like it comes down to dumb luck because Chatot outspeeds everything that poses any real threat since you can't get Jolteon yet. If I could catch a Whismur, it wouldn't be able to use Chatter, but somehow I keep getting stuck with Spinarak. As far as I can tell, the only early game Pokemon who can outspeed are Linoone, Swoobat, and Crobat. You have to get lucky to get Zubat, and Woobat comes so late that it'll probably be overleveled by the time it evolves.

And with that, the E4 has been defeated and the champion dethroned!
Luckily I managed to get through with no losses, but there were a couple of very close calls. Will and Koga were pretty easy, only Koga's Muk was annoying due to Minimize, the rest got killed pretty easily. It got more dangerous as I went along. Blackjack got knocked to 8hp by Bruno's Hitmonlee's Blaze kick, which could've been a crit considering he used focus energy before. He then got stuck in a very frustrating war of attrition against Karen's double-teaming Umbreon, which drained him from most of his pp. The fight with Lance was the hardest of all though.
Clubs took down Gyarados and only just managed to survive 2 Ice Fangs and kill with 3 Petal Dances, but I needed the rest of the team to be fresh in case the Dragonite got out of hand. Chariot then took on Charizard, but had to take 2 Shadow Claws (including a crit) as he missed one Rock Blast, before one-shotting with the next. Next Napoleon took on Blizzard Dragonite. He got paralyzed by Thunder Wave but only barely couldn't one-shot Dragonite with his own Blizzard. He got paralyzed while Dragonite healed, then took both a Dragon Rush and a Hyper Beam before taking him down with Blizzard and Slam. Chariot then went up against the main Dragonite. He barely survived Outrage as Dragonite did the same with Stone Edge. I had to cheese him out with hyper potions until he got confused and hit himself, at which point I took him out with Avalanche. He then took out the next Dragonite with Stone Edge -> Avalanche, and Flush defeated Aerodactyl with Waterfall and Surf.
All in all, Blackjack and Chariot were the MVP's, Blackjack took on at least one pokémon of every E4 member and I without Chariot I would've definitely lost someone to Lance.
Next up, Kanto! (But first the Pokeathlon, to get a Dusk Stone for Misdeal.)

Cool to see you got the emulator working, good luck on the run. I still haven't finished my casual playthrough of Shield yet, and I've had the game for almost a year.

Also, Sylveon was a little scary, got Excalibur down to 8 HP with an overpowered Dazzling Gleam before a +6 boosted Gyro Ball took it out.
Also, I love Unova, but the fuckload of Unova pokemon that don't evolve until 50+ is annoying.

>Vs Roxie
>Koffing
Yukimura Focuses his Energy and gets hit by Venoshock.
He strikes with a Razor Shell, and gets Venoshocked again.
The second Razor Shell causes a Def Drop and makes Koffing eat an Oran Berry, and another Venoshock slams Yukimura.
A third Razor Shell takes out Koffing.
>Grimer
I send Roxanne in on a Venoshock.
She Leers, and Grimer usesPoison Gas, which gets cured by a Pecha Berry.
I then send Pistol in on a failed Disable.
She hits hard with Take Down, but gets poisoned by Poison Gas.
Xochitl comes in next, on a Venoshock.
She dispatches the pile of sludge with a Gust Crit(probably unneeded).
>Whirlipede
A Gust causes it to activate a Sitrus Berry, and it hits back with Venoshock.
Another Gust and Venoshock follows, and Xochitl finally takes the bug out with a third Gust.

I made this fight way harder on myself by holding back on evolving Pistol for some more Pickup items.

I send Roxanne in for the Intimidate.
Yukimura comes in next turn, and Dwebble Rock Polishes.
Dwebble then Faint Attacks, and Yukimura hits back with a Water Pulse Crit(Sturdy stops the KO). It activates the Sitrus Berry, and also confuses Dwebble.
Dwebble then hits itself and gets taken out by another Water Pulse.
>Leavanny
I send Roxanne in for the Intimidate and to take out Leavanny, but a Razor Leaf Crit that leaves Roxanne in the deep yellow makes me decide to switch her back out.
Gothetta comes in on a GrassWhistle miss.
The next GrassWhistle hits, and Gothetta sleeps away a turn.
Leavanny hits her with an Aerial Ace, but Gothetta wakes up and Wing Attacks back- activating Leavanny's Sitrus Berry.
Another turn of Aerial Ace and Wing Attack later, Leavanny falls.
>Karrablast
Gothetta hits it with a Wing Attack, and it Headbutts back.
Burgh uses a Hyper Potion, but another Wing Attack brings it back down.
A third Wing Attack takes out Karrablast.
>Shelmet
Two Wing Attacks are enough to take it out, despite it getting a Curse in.

For me, Shield was harder with level caps than the entirety of gen 1-3(bar Emerald) and most of their remakes. Whether that just speaks to how easy those games are is probably a decent question I suppose.

SwSh's exp share is actually balanced and makes a normal playthrough actually enjoyable, but it is shit for nuzlockes. How the hell can we make it a challenge? Even if you don't heal, the game auto heals before and after every major fight so even that it not as brutal as it can be.

Alright, tests done, grinding done, let's get back to it. Decided to go after Morty first.

His team is Mimikyu, Drifblim, Chandelure, and Gengar. Aria was out front for potential Gengar, came out on Mimikyu and fucked it up which was pretty nice. Drifblim was out next, it has fuckin Flare Boost + Flame Orb shenanigans but the new member Saiph set up Light Screen for Cain to swap in safely and Rock Slide it to death.
Unfortunately when the Chandelure came out I made a critical error - I thought max Atk Cain could take it out in one Rock Slide. I was wrong, and paid the price for it with my OG MVP ;(. Rest in peace. Ivan finished it off.
I could just tell his Gengar at the end was gonna be Mega, it was, I sent in Viral to tank all of its attacks and rip it apart with Psychics. Morty gives Shadow Ball unsurprisingly, as well as a Soothe Bell on victory - not gonna be that easy to make up for killing my bro though faggot

anyway, next is erika

>>44999274
if you're new to nuzlockes i wouldn't say you're a scrub, brawly's makuhita is surprisingly strong if you're underlevelled.
you can restart if you feel like you don't want to grind a shit ton to get past the next part, but that's not the worst situation, especially if you evolve abra. wattson will be a son of a bitch though

Brock has been defeated!

When fighting Camper Liam, Chicken was almost mauled by a crit tackle, but he pulled through on 4 hp. To be fair, I shouldn't have had him fighting a pokemon 4 levels above him (at the time) but I thought he could pull it off with low kick.
I left Charmander at level 15 right before Brock because I couldn't be bothered to grind out another level to evolve him. I almost paid for that, because rock tomb took out more than half of his hp with every hit. If not for the AI's shitty mistake of using bind and tackle and continued use of potions, I might have lost that fight.
Good thing I had the foresight to deposit Chicken right before the fight in case I got a team wipe.
Now, on to Misty!

Aight, Erika wasn't that bad. I've been spoiled and I know Sabrina uses a psychic terrain team, so I reasoned Erika would use grassy terrain to complete the trifecta. Quick check through the documentation shows that Rillaboom is still the only normal mon that has Grassy Surge, so I went with Nia as a lead (Turtonator actually gets Dauntless Shield in this hack, but I didn't go with Britta as a lead fearing High Horsepower).

Shocker, she leads Rillaboom, goes for SD, and starts smashing Nia with High Horsepowers. Nia just bulks it all off, Apple Acids it down and kills it with Dragon Pulse.
Next is Meganium, but I checked the docs beforehand and I know this thing now is Grass/Fairy with Triage. Pretty cool, but it's an easy swap to Horace for a Sludge Bomb kill.
Out comes Venusaur I go to Britta as it mega evolves (REALLY can't wait to start abusing this myself), Sludge Bomb does a FUCKton. I swap out to Reed, Anticipation tells me it doesn't have some stupid HP Fire nonsense, so I stay in and we smash each other until it goes down.
Finally she has a Contrary Serperior, yay. Out to Horace again, Sludge Bomb just fails to kill as it gets me dangerously low with a Leaf Storm + Contrary boost + Dragon Pulse combo. However, I know it's just gonna spam +2 Dragon Pulses instead of Leaf Storm on a Venusaur, so I swap to Haydn to no sell it and it dies of hail. No losses, ezpz

Giga Drain TM and the Rainbow Badge are the rewards, and I suppose Giovanni is next.

I've been working my way through the last few gyms. This stage of the game has pretty much just been a huge grindfest, and I guess it will continue to be that way leading up to the league. Had a couple disappointing deaths along the way but I'm happy with my team at the moment.

Defeated the league after grinding for a few hours, turns out I was way overleveled despite still being within the limit (lower than Lance's ace). Gonna continue on and start Blue, this time I won't worry about grinding as much

giovanni was surprisingly straightforward. i expected mega kangaskhan and ground/rock types, so i prepared.
I lead with Viral, he leads with nidoking.
>Nidoking
Its Earth Powers do nothing and it drops to two Psychics.
>Kangaskhan
Unsurprisingly, mega. I'm expecting Power Up Punch shenanigans so I swap to Britta, who I didn't mention before but gets Dauntless Shield, Zamazenta's ability, in this hack. Very cool when paired with Body Press. Anyway Britta tanks a Fake Out and two Body Slams, Iron Defenses up and kills in one hit with Body Press.
>Honchkrow
I guess its special? I swap to Viral as it hits a critical Drill Peck. So I say fuck it and instead swap to Terry. It lands a critical Heat Wave (Super Luck + Scope Lens bs I guess) but Terry easily eats it and kills back in one Discharge.
>Rhyperior
Swap to Horace as it smashes me with a huge Fire Punch but respond back with a Petal Dance for the victory, and the Silph Scope.

Couple things to note: one, the Game Corner is open, and there's no coins in this hack. Everything is paid for in real cash. All the best TMs in the game are here, as well as several very strong Pokemon like the pseudos and Aegislash. Might grind for em, might not.
Two, after rescuing Mr. Fuji (which required a fight against a sort of Totem Alola-Marowak with +2 speed - it was really easy though as i had brought ivan up in levels to test the new level cap so nothing to say there) getting rid of the Snorlax does not allow you to go to Fuchsia. Instead it looks like I'm railroaded towards Saffron, and Silph Co. So rival next? I guess chuck is in the fighting dojo too.

Back to Faulkner, with only two deaths (both Rattata). I feel like I can safely say there's two type of Faulkner fights where you try to level cap: one where you get a rock-type and it is a complete pushover, or you don't and his Pidgeotto is stronger than anything else you'd have at the time. Anyways, two Rattata's isn't a huge loss, though I'd prefer to have it removed from future encounter lists where there's more interesting stuff. Also caught a Growlithe which is pretty pog, but since I have Cyndaquil, it's not gonna be here for long (maybe).

>>45003964
Good stuff preparing, that seems like a hard fight if you're not ready for it.
>>45003568
Yeah, the game's really not hard except for the Champ fight, which is surprisingly a great fight I thought. Going into that fight expecting it to be a pushover like the rest of the game would be a mistake.
>>45003027
Good job anon, even with overleveling that team you have on deck isn't a crazy one to run into the Elite Four with, so congrats! Good luck with Blue!

and like that, sword is finished. idk why yall were making leon sound a lot tougher than everyone else, because he really wasnt. Serengeti two shot aegislash, Erdamon set up rock and took out cinderace, Shellydra and Junk Dog team up to take down haxorus, Sweetie beat both dragapult and seismitoad, and Erdamon ko'd charizard for the victory afte rocks did half the job for us lol.
thoughts about gen VIII:
good: dynamax has a great aesthetic, raid battles ruled, overall aesthetic of the game is solid, gym leaders all had good personalities. wild area is an awesome idea
bad: game is obviously way to fucking easy. exp candies are way too easy to amass (i used them for the level jump to leon and that was it, but i could have abused it way more in a causal playthrough), dex cut and moves cut is stupid, despite the aesthetic being nice the graphics are super subpar. wild area is flawed (why can every accessible area at a given time scale levels with the player)
overall i feel similarly about gen VII as i do VII, a lot of the criticism is warranted, but it was fine. i had fun.
shield next. the final leg.

Good shit my man.
And honestly I agree, Leon was as big of a joke as the rest of the game. The only reason I had any degree of trouble with him was because I refused to use Dynamax and thus he just had 3 KOs because I was underleveled.
And I agree with all your statements too, I can see what they were going for, and honestly if shit was more ironed out and stuff the game would've been really good. But there's just so many things wrong lmao

You finding the game so easy makes me wonder if I was just playing terribly, because I had 8 mons die in my run of Shield.
That is one of the highest counts I've had.
The absolute highest was 15 in Platinum(first run of my full series locke), followed by 11 in Moon(I definitely had a few tumbles here) and 9 in Ultra Sun.

Post Bugsy, the run appears to have stabilized to an extent. Rattata on Route 32 is a bit of a bummer, but Wooper in Union Cave is pretty pog. Andy made Slowpoke well a breeze, and outside of a semi-close crit from Bugsy's Scyther (took it to like 12 HP in 30 dmage, so close but not *that* close), the Azalea gym went down incredibly easy thanks to Cooper, who evolved! I haven't done my Slowpoke Well or Ilex Forest encounter yet.

>>45006122
Well done, you're almost finished with the marathon. Agree with all your criticisms of Gen VIII. I thought the Leon battle was at least a fair fight, and a very fun one, but I capped all my Pokemon at level 60 to make it more of a challenge. You party seems more overleveled. Anyways, good luck in Shield!

well, rival...five? three i guess? wasn't my finest work.

I completely forgot he had a starly line mon as a lead in this hack, so I just had Horace out front as it was one of my stronger mons.

>Staraptor
Honestly didn't know what to do here - I had Martin and Bradley for the Charizard, Martin being special def, so I tried Bradley. Brave Bird + CC fails to knock the big guy out and he lands a big ThunderPunch for the kill.
>Azumarill
Can smell the Aqua Jet so I go to Horace, then tank an enormous Ice Punch that nearly kills before Sludge Bombing it away. Yikes.
>Electivire
Where it began to go to shit. Electivire is Electric/Fighting in this hack with Iron Fist, Close Combat and Plasma Fists - I tried to do some swapping around, first to Viral, then Nia, but it was just hitting way too hard and was just too fast for anything on my team to deal with reliably. So, I decided to sack Martin so I could safely bring in the new member Kaiden, I calced how much an Ice Punch would do and it would not kill short of crit or freeze, so I DD'd up and murdered it back with Bulldoze.

The rest of the rival's team is Jumpluff and Megazard Y. Kaiden is strong as fuck though and one shotted both.

Very close near miss, had literally anything gone wrong I would have certainly lost, and next is a tag battle apparently? So I think I'm going to break the blindness here.

>>45008393
deathless nuzlockes of any of the main games are honestly pretty easy given the sheer number of advantages you can work with, from overlevelling to x items/potionspam to shift to ev training.
in order for it to be stimulating, you'd have to consciously gimp yourself further. and even then jb has shown that's still very achievable

ok so right before giovanni is a tag battle between you and brendan, and archer and ariana, nice little addition gameplaywise, not great nuzlockewise. i'm very glad i broke the blindness here, so i could form a plan and do some calcs early

brendan and i lead with gardevoir and toppa, archer and ariana lead incineroar and grimmsnarl. incineroar's intimidate puts toppa at +1 atk.
>1st turn
toppa gets faked out, grimmsnarl throws up a screen, gardevoir uses dazzling gleam which does about a third on both (grimmsnarl has a roseli berry).
>2nd turn
toppa obliterates incineroar with superpower, gardevoir dazzling gleams again, grimmsnarl sets up reflect. if grimmsnarl had attacked here i equipped toppa with a roseli berry just in case.
>3rd turn
ariana sends out mawile, giving me another atk boost with intimidate. i hit it down to half as gardevoir kills grimmsnarl and chips mawile with a gleam, mawile mega evolves and kills gardevoir.
>4th turn
i kill mawile as archer sends out aegislash, brendan sends out exploud. this thing is a massive piece of shit. it WILL use boomburst and it CAN kill its allies, so i had to plan for it as well. thankfully it just uses flamethrower.
>5th turn
ariana sends out primarina, i psycho cut it to death, exploud and aegislash exchange blows. now it's a 2v1 but the fucking exploud can still screw me up.
>rest
i swap to chilan berry wielding aria to tank a boomburst, then kill that faggot exploud as brendan sends out the mon he should've gone for first, mega sceptile. together we run down the aegislash and archer's mega houndoom.

for your troubles, brendan heals the team and gives a treecko. pretty cool!

but if that wasn't bad enough, giovanni's worse

I've been making my way through Kanto in my downtime, haven't posted much of it because nothing has really happened yet. Misdeal's evolution is the only change in the team so far. The spread of pokémon in Kanto are really lame after Johto and dupes clause prevents me from catching new pokémon on a lot of routes. I guess it does give me two extra shots at getting better new pokémon like Electabuzz and Abra. It's a shame because I do think that Kanto is an amazing post-game otherwise.
Finished the team Rocket aftermath story and beat Lt. Surge, Misty and Jasmine. Will probably get Snorlax, then make my way to Brock next. Most upcoming gyms shouldn't be much of a problem, only Sabrina and Blue seem to pose a real threat, and maybe Erika.

I've heard that XY have some pretty dangerous trainer battles, even if the Gyms and E4 are easy. Not using Exp. Share also scales the difficulty through level inflation, since you'll end up being behind on levels a lot. If you want it really difficult then Eternal X is probably the way to go though.

Took on the Driftveil Gym.
The Slow Exp Cap is actually 33, but Roxanne leveled up to 34 within the gym and learned Flamethrower(the main reason I was keeping Roxanne a Growlithe), so I had Arcanine instead of Growlithe by the time I fought Clay.
>Vs Clay
I start with Roxanne for the Intimidate(and to keep my main Anti-Clay mon from being Intimidated).
I then Switch in Yukimura on a Bulldoze.
Krokorok Crunches Yukimura, then falls to Razor Shell.
>Onix
It causes a flinch with Rock Slide.
Another Rock Slide meets Water Pulse, bringing Onix down to Sturdy.
I don't want to risk an Explosion, so I go for Aqua Jet despite suspecting a Hyper Potion. It ends up being the potion, but Aqua Jet hits Onix likes a truck and sends it all the way back into the red(I was thinking Onix's huge Defense stat might prevent this).
Another Aqua Jet and the snake falls.
>Sandslash
It Hones its Claws, giving Yukimura free reign to take it out with a Water Pulse Crit.
>Excadrill
Aqua Jet does slightly less than half of Excadrill's health, and it hits back with Metal Claw.
I go for another Aqua Jet(activating Excadrill's Sitrus Berry)- I desperately do not want to get flinched by Rock Slide or something along those lines. However, as if to punish me for this, the game has me grit my teeth as Rock Slide scores a Crit and Yukimura's health ticks all the way down to 5 HP.
With that final scare over, a final Aqua Jet takes out Clay.

Silph Co Giovanni is so fucking ridiculous in this game man, like actually what the fuck, but with the power of planning i rendered him a joke.

I lead with Wilma, he leads with Hippowdon. I set up rain dance, it sets up stealth rocks. Poliwrath learns Surging Strikes of all things in this game (Urshifu-rapid's signature move, for those who don't know) which is so fantastic - Hippowdon dies in one hit. Polteageist is out next, but it's Weak Armor ability works against it as Surging Strikes kills it in one hit too.

Next is Garchomp. It sword dances as Wilma Surging Strikes again, bringing it to yellow - I'm not scared though, it cannot kill Wilma in one hit short of a crit and I had ice shards in the back just in case, so I take it out next turn after a heavy EQ.

Mega Kang comes out, so I send in Ivan to Intimidate it and take the Fake Out, then go to Reed. One Iron Defense later, and both Mega Kang and his final mon Excadrill fall to Body Press. The streamer I watched took like, 30 tries on this battle kek, Shell Smash Polteageist, Sand Rush Excadrill, SD garchomp, mega kang are all fucking scary as shit, I did not expect my attempt to go so smoothly. might draw up a sort of nuzlocke guide for this game once i'm done.

Anyway, we get the Master Ball, and a Mega Ring for our efforts, very nice. Can't make use of it for now, but eh. The game also lets you know that you can rematch all the gym leaders at this point, might do that later.

So Sabrina in this hack uses a pretty damn good psychic terrain trick room doubles team. Because it's doubles there's so many more variables to account for

I lead with Toppa and Kaiden, Sabrina leads Indeedee-F and Porygon2.
>1st turn
Toppa Superpowers Indeedee, Kaiden Taunts Porygon2 - if he didn't then it would use Trick Room and allow Sabrina's team to go wild. Indeedee's Hyper Voice does about half to both.
>2nd turn
Toppa murders Indeedee as Kaiden swaps for Terry on Porygon2's Ice Beam. Sabrina sends out Alola-Marowak.
>3rd turn
Toppa murders that too as Porygon hits Toppa, Terry hits Porygon.
>4th turn
Out comes Conkeldurr. Yeah, Sabrina doesn't like monotypes in this hack kek. It dies to a Psycho Cut boosted by terrain, Porygon begins attacking Toppa now.
>5th turn
Sabrina sends in Hatterene. It's at this point I'm unfortunately forced to sack Toppa - Hatterene is just too bulky, Toppa is too low, Terry can't kill Porygon2. Toppa and Terry double team Hatterene as Porygon2 takes Toppa down.
>6th turn
And finally, Sabrina's last mon, a Mega Gardevoir. I send in Reed so Terry and Reed can double team it with Gyro Ball and Flash Cannon respectively.

After that it was some basic swapping around to clean up the Porygon, and that's the Marsh Badge! Not too rough, but still a nasty loss of a good mon. Sabrina hands over a Trick Room TM and promises a Gardevoirite if I show her something with perfect IVs.

There's lots of optional stuff to tackle next, but I kind of want to just beat Koga. Will do that tomorrow though

Crystal run #3, this time we made it through Faulkner without any deaths, though regrettably this is probably because I'm a bit overleveled as it stands. The coin flip gave me Totodile this time, and I have some ok encounters in Pidgey and Bellsprout.

Omega Ruby finally started. Had a little bit of a problem when I tried to start earlier when the game would crash about 50% of the time I tried to save. Ended up having to find a different source for it and reinstall it, and it's worked so far.
To make things a little interesting, since I have DexNav now in ORAS, I made it so that all encounters are at max search rank, so in the off-chance I find something I can use, there's a chance it has an egg-move / hidden ability like Matsuri managed to get.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by fucking up your save and rear loading the tedium until the postgame, but if you want an extra spice to the ruleset, you can play the way I usually do - no bag items, set mode, level cap to next gym leader's ace (usually enforced by just not grinding).
The two major chokeholds in Johto are Victory Road and after you defeat Blue but before Red, everything else is pretty manageable by that ruleset. If that's a bit rough you can nix one or two (I wouldn't recommend allowing unlimited items though since they really do break the game).

Both routes to Fuchsia are strangely brutal - trainers are using actually really good team comps now, with tutor moves (met a Crobat with Heat Wave and Weavile with Triple Axel) and a basic level of synergy and strategy. And unfortunately, I had probably the biggest loss yet in Viral - carelessly sweeped through a biker's team with Psychic, forgot Gengar could pack Destiny Bond. Fuckin rookie mistake. One of the best bulky mons in the entire game and I lost him to something so dumb
However, the game instantly repaid me by giving me a 1% first encounter on Route 15 with Ditto, this is so stupidly good. I bred Bai for a Munchlax with Pickup (then released Bai as I don't think using breeding to clone shit is kosher) so I can try and get a Destiny Knot, then I'll use the IV perfecter to assemble a lot of near-perfect IV Pokemon going forward without grinding absurd amounts of money.
Have a lot of work this week, might fight Koga (and Brendan, who's blocking the Safari Zone) later.

Ay good job! Pity you can't use Zam and Gyarados anymore though, such great mons in later games.
>>45022933
I did not read your ruleset lol. And yeah your team looks real set for the rest of the game! At least you'll be able to probably Kricketune two more shots to become a champ
>>45022572
f for the fallen bro
how much can you avoid trainers? i wouldn't be surprised if the necessary amount of trainers you need to fight in the game makes you overlevelled if you just have 6 mons tho lol
>>45021768
it's not the WORST thing in the world, hustle doesn't affect special attacks and natures aren't huge in the main games unless you have a ton of rules. it's suboptimal but togekiss still should be pretty okay.
togepi line in general for me is ehh, though, friendship evos are always fucking pains

>metagross
reed iron defenses up, it sets up rocks. reed body presses and does half. then he randomly swaps to exploud and lets it die, swaps back to metagross, swaps again to sceptile to let it die (lol), sends in gardevoir, it misses a focus blast but wouldn't have killed anyway even with a crit thanks to a chople berry and it dies to gyro ball, then metagross comes back in and reed kills that too, it's best attack on me was meteor mash lol

the sceptile is mega, and mega sceptile in this game has adaptibility, exploud also has punk rock + boomburst shenanigans, i had plans for both of these that involved mega venu horace and chilan berry wilma, didn't matter.

Roxanne the Arcanine just fell to Hiker Marcus's Crustle in a double battle. It was providing team support with Snarl and Intimidate, and I thought I could safely dispatch the already chipped Crustle with Flamethrower, but it was bulkier than I thought and took out Roxanne with a Rock Slide Crit.
This makes me sad because Intimidate mons are so good at helping your team stay safe.

Lost Scalliwag at the PWT, thought it would be a breeze with the level gap but Cheren's Cinccino pulled a fast one on me. I can't be mad because I've used that Bullet Seed coverage before, but it fuckin hurt to lose him while he was still running Water Gun.

koga has a weird team in this hack lol

>Swellow
I start with Bradley. I know it has U-turn, it likes going out to Accelgor, so I land a Smack Down and kill it. Accelgor has Sheer Force in this hack, btw. Koga sends out...
>Ash-Greninja
Yes, I wish I was kidding, thankfully it still does need to get one kill before it enters that form. I go to Horace as it lands a Surf for about a third, Horace mega evolves into Mega Venusaur (you get mega stones for the starters on Cycling Road) and Energy Ball to kill it off as it Dark Pulses me down to red
>Swellow again
Go into Bradley as it Aerilate Boombursts me, it's choiced so it just stays in as I Thunderpunch it.
>Dragapult
I have no switch in here - Dragon Darts would put Ivan too low and nobody else can take a hit from its ghost attacks. I have to let Bradley die. been here since the beginning big guy, i'm sorry ;(
I bring in Ivan safely, its Dragon Darts knock me down to yellow after Intimidate, Ivan oneshots with Crunch.
>Toxtricity
FINALLY a poison type lol. I send in Aria as it mega evolves, G-Max forms were basically turned into megas for all Pokemon that didn't have them already in this hack, and Overdrives to do nothing. Followup Boomburst can't kill me so I EQ
>Drapion
Honestly surprised to see another poison type. Anyway, this thing is choiced too and just spams Wicked Blow (Urshifu-S's attack that this hack gave it), this is exactly why I brought Ivan, Ivan easily comes in, Rests off the damage he's taken, and kills it.

And that's the Soul Badge! Koga gives you a Toxtricitite and Life Orb if you show him a max speed EV mon, on top of the tm for sludge bomb he gives on victory. kind of sad i couldn't pull off the sandstorm sweep i wanted to but whatever

this hack has the gen 8 exp share, so basically i just grind up my bulky ev trained mons to the level cap, then use them to clear out trainers while getting exp for the weaker guys.
for boss fights, i've mostly won by just overpreparing a shit ton for every one, which involves a lot of ev training, and starting with the silph co battles i'm not doing this blind.

Depends. Is it a random pokemon from your party? From your box? How fast can you beat the game? Does the game naturally have tons of pokemon?

I can see it being neat if you delete from oldest to newest so you're constantly on your toes, but then it would axe any potential for attachment and bonding.

I hate it here.

I severely underestimated Team Galactic. First was the Honchcrow which was at a higher level that my whole team. I was leading with Mimi because I didn't get a chance to switch since the battle with Mars and Jupiter. I switched to Halberd for Intimidate but Dark Pulse did a shitload of damage. I got Smallbrain to take it out then there was Gyarados. At this point I seriously didn't think I could win. The movesets Cyrus has are insane, at least relative to the rest of this game. I switched around a bit but I swear he either predicted or knew my switches because I didn't resist the attacks. Eventually I got to Mimi, who took an Aqua Tail with 3 HP left after the sandstorm Sandra caused.

Well fuck.

At this point my decision was to either heal Mimi and hope it worked or use Thunderbolt. I felt that if I didn't take out Gyarados now, I would lose the battle.

Given the remaining team members I thought it would make the most sense to send in Smallbrain. Cyrus sent out Weavile. Definitely was not prepared for a level 48. Smallbrain instantly died to Brick Break. I sent out Halberd in the vain hopes that it could land a Close Combat. It couldn't.

Then an idea.

Octillery Flamethrower.

It didn't do as much damage as I wanted, and I had to use the last two of my allowed healing items, but I beat Weavile.

Sherman did not have the strength to deal with Crobat. But I couldn't just send in Mackinac. So out went Sandra, with just 31 hp. It took a Bite. 16 hp. It may not be possible, but all I need is this one attack.

Cross Poison.

1 hp.

Yawn.

With that I now switch to Mackinac. I think at this point the game pitied me; after Crobat woke up, it didn't use any super effective attacks. Only on the last turn did it use Air Slash, which I only survived thanks to Leech Seed. I write this immediately after the battle, I still need to deal with Dialga.

Imma miss these bastards.

First of all, let me say, Fuck Self-Destruct.

Second, I didn't play nearly as much as I wanted to this evening. I got distracted too much to play by the NHL draft Not the happiest with Bergevin picking Guhle.

Marine died to an unfortunate self-destruct in a double battle. Thankfully Calliope was able to step in an fill that space. Thanks to an abundance of Heart Scales, I was able to teach them their two best STAB attacks right away, which made grinding up to match the party not as bad.

You can think a little bit about the future. Maybe prioritize something that falls off on power in later gens, like you did with Hypno, or maybe use something that is good but also not really available in later gens over something that's super abundant.

Forgot to say that Sakura soloed Roxie, I knew her Torkoal would be really good at the physical defensiveness, as I have one myself, and with a sunny day up a pitiful water gun would do nothing, so instead of using Korone I went with Sakura. Built up the Echoed Voice charges on Slugma, and by the time Torkoal came out, I was already at +3, so it melted.

Finished up some remaining captures. Once you get Surf in this hack, you get access to the best EV training spots in the game plus the Power Items, which is super nice.
As I was doing my catches, I realized that I had never fought Chuck, and my catches would do exceedingly well against him. And, well, he was a bit of a joke lol. One thing to note is that his levels, and presumably all optional bosses, scale with yours.

>Poliwrath
Rosso walled and killed it
>Gallade-Mega
Was a bit scary as it could Bulk Up, but even with crit +1 Psycho Cuts it wasn't muscling through Strength Saps
>Hitmontop
Retard AI just spammed Sucker Punch, Rosso killed it
>Breloom
Dunno why he didn't go this first, but anyway I sent in Horace, mega evolved as it tried to set up Subs then one shotted with Sludge Bomb.

After winning he gives a Focus Sash (thank god, love this item), Drain Punch, and a choice between Crabrawler and Clobbopus, Crabrawler seems better if I need Trick Room strats and potentially for gym Giovanni/Lance

>>45031931
that's sad to hear ;(. sucks that it was a double battle too and there's barely any way to mitigate selfdestruct from being a hazard in that situation
>>45031632
honestly one thing you can do if you're really worried is just wait til late game then catch stuff from the final water routes/safari zone/route 13/14/15/cinnabar mansion and then abandon what you had before.
FR/LG are some of the easier games in the series, so don't sweat too hard.

Ye, I'm planning on running the remaining games I own physical copies of, which is Let's Go Eevee and Shield. That might make my autismlocke kinda incomplete, but I'd consider those two bonus runs more than anything, a victory lap if you will. I've never nuzlocked either of them, which is a first for me as far as autismlocking goes, I've had anywhere from plenty to a lot of experience nuzlocking Gen 1-7, so going in blind is equal parts exciting and terrifying.

I've also kept track of which Gen 1 Pokemon I have available for Let's Go in pic related and...well it's not looking too hot right now, gonna be interesting scraping together a team

What's the usual way a SWSH run is handled?
I was thinking
1. Random grass only, no overworld
2. If I accidentally get an overworld spawn, surprise trade it away
3. No raids
4. Limit the Wild Area somehow

Most Nuzlockes use the credits roll boss as the end of the run, so you don't have to do that. You can designate Mustard/the final boss of CT as the run end though
As for the actual catches themselves, shouldn't be much different from the main game

Defeated Koga, Sabrina, and Blaine with relative ease despite being pretty underleveled. For whatever reason, the devs decided to give most of the gym leaders really stupid teams in this game and the level progression is kinda all over the place. Anyway, I've finally put together a complete team and everyone has been pulling their weight, hopefully these guys can all stay alive until the league.
>>45031931
I think the team I've ended up with kinda aligns with your suggestions, like Flareon not being quite as good in later gens and Kangaskhan being less common. Also, nice strategy using Echoeed Voice against Flannery's Torkoal. Always cool when unconventional stuff like that works out successfully.

i've been using the game mechanics to my advantage. no overworld catches isn't a great catch all because of places like the two galar mines, which ONLY have overworld encounters. imo the wild are isn't overpowered or game breaking. with the base game's 10 traditional routes, 4 additional areas, and 17 wild are spots makes 31 unique catch/met locations (not including cities, which only a handful have pokemon). by comparison gen 1 games have 25 routes and 10+ additional areas. so its on par with other games.
regardless, do whatever makes it fun.

It sets up stealth rocks as Ivan Crunches it, then Explodes next turn to take Ivan to yellow.

Decide to send in Ignatio as it Switcheroos (?) a pair of Choice Specs onto me as it takes Ignatio's Chesto Berry. It follows up with a weak Overheat as I 2HKO it with psychic.

I send in Horace as it waterfalls and does a quarter. I mega evolve as she swaps in

and 2HKO it with giga drain as it halves my HP with draco meteor. relicanth comes back out (??) and dies to a giga drain.
>blaziken
i go to rosso as it mega evolves and Swords Dances, i already did calcs though and i know this cannot kill me as mega blaziken's attack was actually very nerfed in this hack, i just spam strength sap then toxic it as it uselessly tries to break through rosso.

So on my way to Drayden, I accidentally evolved my Pickup Lillipup. Oops.
Also, my Volcarona has Electric as its hidden power, but I don't know how strong it is(I do have an IV checker code for B2, so I could trade it over to check), or if it is even worth it to grind the BP for the TM even if it is a strong HP when I will almost certainly have Giga Drain on it later.

With all that out of the way:
>Vs Drayden
>Druddigon
Yukimura(carrying a Life Orb) takes it out in a single Blizzard.
>Flygon
It hits Yukimura with an Earth Power, causing a SpD Drop, before succumbing to Blizzard.
>Altaria
With the accumulated damage and SpD drop, Yukimura can't go on.
I send Gothetta in on a Dragon Pulse, which doesn't impress.
Since Altaria didn't bother to Cotton Guard to protect itself, a Flying Gem Acrobatics is all it takes.
>Haxorus
Gothetta U-Turns into Ramsey(carrying Soft Sand) as Haxorus Dragon Dances.
Haxorus Dragon Dances again, but with the chip Gothetta provided, Earthquake is enough to end the battle.

Haven't had much opportunity to play this week, and late game feels kinda slow sometimes. It appears Kanto has finally struck back the moment I get back into it though. Brock and Erika were no problem, but Sabrina was more of a threat than I anticipated. I gave Blackjack a Focus Sash (thanks mom) so he could take a hit and hopefully one-shot Espeon and I didn't want Misdreavous getting hurt by shadow ball because I neededd her to take out the rest of Sabrina's team. Turns out he couldn't, so I switched to Clubs who got critted by Espeon on the turn I started Petal Dance. I could do nothing but watch my starter get slaughtered. It really sucks to lose him this late in the game and I wish I had been better prepared somehow.
I've put Crisscross the Electabuzz in my team for now, but I'm not sure if I'll actually grind him up. I can't get the Electirizer until Cerulean Cave and grinding to this level is going to be a real pain. I might choose another 'mon, or (more likely) just leave it at the current team and maybe bring Ditto along for the fight against Red.

>>45013328
Late reply, but to be completely honest Lickilicky is somewhat of a weakest link at the moment. He carries his weight but he isn't very consistent in his usefulness. Only having moves with a chance of missing doesn't help either. Seeing his silly face is good for my mood though.

>>45033870
Looks like SwSh is just a bit more dangerous than I thought, especially the end game.

>>45034721

Winona wasn't too much trouble. The only real scary thing was her Altaria with Earthquake.
Polka took down the Swellow and Pelliper, Mio handled the Skarmory, and I had some good luck with Mega-Calliope on Altaria. I was hoping that Altaria would Safeguard first turm (which it did), so I could get a good Play Rough in, and then it was just waiting out the Roost/Hyper Potion stalls and pray not to miss.

Took on Marlon after hitting the Humilau Tutor(I farm Shards like a maniac).
>Vs Marlon
>Wailord
Xochitl takes it out with Energy Ball.
>Mantine
I send in Yukimura on a Confuse Ray.
He thankfully snaps out immediately, and uses Return. He gets an Air Slash Crit in return.
A second Return does it in.
>Jellicent
I send Lizzie in on an Energy Ball.
A Crunch Crit makes short work of it.
>Carracosta
Lizzie lands a Drain Punch, but gets burned by Scald.
She Drain Punches again, activating Carracosta's Sitrus Berry, and it Shell Smashes. I'm hoping for Shed Skin to help me out.
A +2 Scald does a bit less than I thought, but is still scary, another Drain Punch works to heal back up and mitigate the Burn damage- it also puts Carracosta into the red, meaning a Hyper Potion is coming up.
Marlon uses said Hyper Potion, and another Drain Punch might have put Lizzie out of killing range- and just at this moment, Shed Skin finally kicks in.
It's all for naught however, as Scald gets a higher roll this time, and Lizzie finally goes down, having fought tooth and nail.
Now being able to safely come in, Ramsey enters the battle wearing his fancy Choice Scarf, and ends the whole thing with an Earthquake.

got the destiny knot actually not much longer after i began grinding to blaine's level cap - so i went ahead and fixed the ivs of my team that i didn't really like, like haydn. ivan also has terrible ivs but i won't fix him until i feel i absolutely need to.

just to cover one fight this update, i fought jasmine in the cinnabar lab. one notable thing is that she has 2 teams, and whichever team she has when you fight her is random (this also applies to most bosses going forward, fantastic)

her team when i fought her was bronzong, melmetal (yay, legendaries on enemy comps now), excadrill, bisharp, mega aggron, and scizor. i had reed out front, but i swapped to britta on bronzong as it set up stealth rocks, used 3 iron defenses as bronzong went for very weak EQs, then slaughtered her entire team with flamethrower and body press, easiest fight i think i've had in the entire game. she gives aggronite and a choice band on defeat, and by showing her a max def EV mon she gives a steelixite and an assault vest.

probably will take on blaine tomorrow.

Made it through the league with everyone intact except Tungsten, who unfortunately died to Agatha's Gengar. Thankfully I managed to get through the last two fights with only five team members. I soloed Lance using Neon, and Blue wasn't too bad as >>45041067 mentioned. The only real threats were his Alakazam, which Neon was able to take down pretty easily with a couple Body Slams, and his Jolteon which Antimony took down using Fire Blast (despite being paralyzed and almost dying). Anyway, I'm glad to be done with gen 1 and excited to move on to bigger and better games.

Ayy, nice going dude! And now that you're done with Gen 1 it's only up from here, only more QoL changes from here on out!

Oof, that's sadly quite a ways away, GSC gives you a little more thanks to the divided pockets (which in itself is quite nice, no more having to deposit key items and HMs for space), but the space is still quite limited at 20 I believe
Well, at least it's still an upgrade from 20 items, period

>early game is fast enough to where you can probably just reset if you don't get shinx/rockruff/wooloo/whatever, desu
This is true. Early game seems pretty well geared to destroy birds, bugs, and plants. Falkner eats bugs and plants, Brock is rock hard for birds and bugs (and has a Vulpix, thanks anime), and both Archer and Misty have ice moves on strong mons.

Beat Chuck, but we had the first deaths of the run, and four in total right after one another. First off, we lost Lizzy & Grimes one after another on the way to Cianwood City. Then, in the Chuck fight we also lost two friends. First, I switched out Lynyrd when Chuck's Poliwrath came in because it had its defense lowered two stages, and swapped in AC/DC; they hit by a Dynamic Punch and got OHKO'D. Then I swapped in Darude because I thought I remembered that Chuck only had fighting type moves--I was dead wrong, and Darude got killed by a Surf. After that, Lynyrd was able to come back in and outspeed the bastard, getting the victory. Needless to say, we've had to make some replacements, and the team has added Joan, Ariana, and Harrison for the time being.

>>45041915
Good job man, Yellow was a big problem for me, so probs on getting through that with few casualties. Gen II is substantially better, and good luck there.
>>45039386
This is a cool ass ROMhack, if they're pulling out random teams. Also Galarian Corsola--based.
>>45039190
Incredibly cool team, Mind Badge can be a problem but good job making it through there--your team is well-equipped to handle it. Not sure if you've played ORAS before, but brace yourself for Steven.
>>45038117
Godspeed jb, you're so close to the end. And yeah, I did snag Dig, but I try to hold out on TMs until the latter portions of the game; I don't like wasting them.
>>45038105
Good stuff, I like the start of this team. Also lol @ the Rattata's name.

Hala defeated, our newly captured Ocean Man absolutely demolished him
Also to note that Mauve is holding a Soothe Bell, but the Soothe Bell hasn't been added to the generator so I'm just putting in a placeholder image for now

>>45042660
Oh man, those are some rough losses there dude, especially sad with AC/DC right before evolution there. Hope you're able to rebuild just fine from it!
Also haha, glad you liked the Rattata name, I just happened to hear the phrase from what I was listening to at the time (tend to watch let's plays while nuzlocking) and didn't even think about how funny it is with Alolan Raticate being so chonky

With Wallace defeated and the Rain Badge obtained, I can now head to the Elite Four. I dealt with Primal Groudon by throwing my Master Ball and then shoving it in Pokemon Bank to send to my Switch.
With Wallace, it was a team effort. Polka managed the Luvdisc and Milotic, Matsuri on the Whiscash, Korone on the Sealeo, and Calliope on the Seaking (who scared me by using Horn Drill).

Now I'm off to do New Mauville for Thunderbolt and Sunken Ship for Ice Beam before heading to Victory Road.

>>45041915
Congrats on getting through Gen 1. They're much loved, but they're pretty rough, especially with the very weak move pools on most pokemon.

>>45042660
I've played ORAS previously, but this is the first time since launch, and the first nuzlocke of it. I'm mostly just relying on my RSE knowledge from when I did them last year. I know his biggest threat is his M-Metagross, which I hope Mio is bulky enough to deal with, due to resisting meteor mash and being very defensive to begin with.

>>45044503
RIP Bald. Dugtrio with Slash and Gen 1 crit mechanics is a beast. Because he's so fast, and the way Slash boost crit rate in Gen 1, he'll crit with it more than not on most pokemon.

Water trial done, another stellar performance by Ocean Man as he decimated Totem Araquanid with a Supersonic Skystrike
Also, fun fact of the day, did you know Hawlucha has just as good Special Attack as Nidoqueen, Serperior and Hypno? I certainly did not, but it was enough for me to consider putting HP Ghost on Ocean Man just for any fringe cases where it might be useful, ya never know

another dumb tragedy struck again - when speeding through the daily max raids i wasn't paying attention to my health and a dmax oranguru killed kaiden. sorry friend ;(.

instead of prepping for blaine, i did some exploring. dracovish (!) and dracozolt raids are in the power plant/seafoam islands, the birds are still there, don't know if i'll get them or the encounters in those areas.

you bet your ass i'm using scarf dracovish, but to do that i need to defeat pryce, who's in front of the seafoam islands.

he leads vanilluxe, i lead iman.
>vanilluxe
iman is here to prevent aurora veil bullshit, it blizzards for weak damage as i flamethrower to oneshot
>dewgong
i send in reed as it toxics to do nothing, then spams surfs that can't even do more than lefties heals me as reed power whips it to death
>weavile
it low kicks for heavy damage as i OHKO with body press
>crabominable
i send in rosso as he close combats, so he then swaps out into
>glalie
which mega evolves, but starts at -1 from a strength sap. it just cannot break through rosso as i toxic and strength sap it down to death
>arctovish
fishious rend crit actually could kill, so i send in the new member eli to take it, barely, jfc. as said before g-max forms are now megas so i turned eli into a mega kingler, water/steel typing with tough claws and 105 speed btw, to superpower and OHKO.
>crabominable again
just sent in rosso to do the same thing i did to mega glalie

ez win, glalilite and choice scarf.

ah, i shouldn't have jinxed you. F for the fallen

Yeah, I really like how this game does difficulty, instead of just trying to overwhelm you it tries to screw over what you think will be good for the boss. Except for that stupid fucking Koga team idk what that was

I think Squirtle is probably the best starter, and if you can hang onto Growlers/stuff with Baby Doll Eyes the early game is probably consistent. By Misty you'll have enough routes and EV training spots that you'll have much more freedom in teambuilding

M-Calliope was almost enough to solo Wally, but couldn't survive the 2nd Close Combat from M-Gallade if I kept it in, so I switched to Matsuri in a stupid hopes to Mach Punch it when it hit -3 defenses but he predicted it and used Psycho Cut which took Matsuri out. Korone came in and barely lived another close combat to finish it off with a Surf.

For Sidney, I threw a Persim Berry on Lamy to counter the Swagger and get a free +1 Attack. He was able to X-Scissor everything easily with Polka swapping in on Sharpedo.

For Phoebe, I started with Sakura Miko to bait the Curse for an easy knock out. On Sableye I switch over to Calliope to Play Rough and Crunch through the rest of the team.

On Glacia I lead with Calliope to Iron Head and Crunch through the competition, whilst switching to Polka for the Walrein and hoping it doesn't hit a Sheer Cold (which it didn't).

On Drake I lead with with Korone to Ice Beam everything, switching to Polka to deal with the Kingdra which came in last.

Onto Steven. With Steven I wanted to try something risky, but if I pulled it off, it would be quite funny. I led with Mio, had it hold a White Herb and Shell Smashed twice on Skarmory and started Flamethrowering. The scariest thing ahead was the Aggron, who with sturdy, could possibly knock me out with a stone edge. Mio managed to survive with 21 HP and nothing else stood a chance. I thought maybe the metagross would use Bullet Punch since I think I could've died from that with the -2 defence, but he didn't use it. And that's how we sweep Steven with a Torkoal.
