Been playing through Gold, here's my team after defeating Bugsy and the rival in Azalea Town. Biggest issue I've had so far was remaining under the level cap for Falkner's gym, level 9 is kinda ridiculous but I managed to spread the exp evenly among my team and keep everyone at an acceptable level.

so you don't actually go to viridian gym right after blaine - instead, brendan takes you to cerulean cave, where there's an added team rocket event. neat.

first major boss fight is a gauntlet of archer and ariana, no healing between, thankfully they only use 4 pokemon a piece.

archer: definitely the more easy of the two. he starts with mamoswine as i start with wilma - with the correct combo of rain and drain punch, i end up beating it near full (usually it runs some gay ass endeavor + sash + ice shard set). mimikyu comes out as i surging strikes it for an OHKO. durant comes out, i send in britta, superpower and iron heads do nothing as i iron defense up, on the turn i go for body press he goes to houndoom (a mega, lol) and it dies, then i kill off the durant next turn.

ariana: she starts with honchkrow, wilma's still in front. i could live a drill peck, but it's an asshole scope lens + super luck bullshit set again and it gets a crit, killing my big frog ;(. will miss you fren.

i send in aria and sd as it tries to sucker punch, then nail it next turn with rock slide. out comes amoonguss, eq, one shot. out comes mawile, i know this is mega and has sucker punch too and another kills, so i go to adrian. one flamethrower and it's dead. and finally, hatterene, biggest threat here actually. i swap to reed and land a gyro ball as it trick rooms, i'm slower so i'm faster in trick room, it actually trick rooms again so it can be faster. reed has an occa berry but i don't want to risk mystical fire if i dont need to so i just swap to dest and aqua fang (donut steel water physical move because waterfall isn't in this game, weird) for the win.

they give houndoomite and mawilite on victory

time to stop the big G

this is another tag battle, with lance of all people assisting, he's apparently the current champion, guess that makes sense. again, pretty neat. the champion music also plays during this fight, nice touch.

>1st turn
I send out Desty, Lance sends out a Dragapult, Giovanni sends out Tapu Lele (!) and Scrafty. Intimidates on both sides go off. I Protect as Dragapult throws up a light screen, scrafty fakes out on my protect, lele uses dazzling gleam to knock pult below half.
>2nd turn
i dragon dance as tapu lele dazzling gleams again, knocks pult out, damages me only a little, and scrafty lands a weak crunch. lance sends out.....dialga, lovely, can't wait to fight that later.
>3rd turn
giovanni swaps out scrafty for mewtwo as i dd again, dialga and lele trade blows. dialga misses it's KO with flash cannon due to moonblast lowering it's special atk
>4th turn
desty crunches mewtwo as it mega evolves into fucking mega mewtwo y, killing it one hit, biggest threat gone. dialga manages to finish off lele.
>5th turn
excadrill and scrafty come out. i protect again to block scrafty's fake out, excadrill just high horsepowers to kill dialga.
>6th turn
lance sends out salamence, who is revealed to be mega. i take out excadrill in one hit as salamence eqs for big damage on scrafty

Giovanni's final mons are tyranitar and alakazam - I just left scrafty alive as it's weak and desty and salamence double teamed the rest. gg ez nerd. giovanni usually spams psychic terrain expanding force with zam and mewtwo, or sets up sand with ttar for excadrill shenanigans, it could've went way worse, cannot believe i didn't lose anyone.

that means the final gym leader is a complete unknown, but first i'll do the cerulean cave capture and raid

Defeated Whitney and Morty. I took a risk against Whitney and used Silky to put her Miltank to sleep knowing that its Rollout could be deadly. Thankfully that worked out successfully, so I tried a similar thing against Morty and managed to take out his team easily with them all asleep. Everything else has been going quite smoothly, this is the furthest I've gotten in Johto without a teammate dying. I've also added an Eevee to the team, which at the moment I'm planning to evolve into Umbreon.

EV grinding, lots and lots of EV grinding, and game knowledge. There's absolutely zero way I would have won the past dozen or so major fights had I not known mons and a general idea of what the AI tries to do (maybe Jasmine and Pryce I could have beaten blind, they were pretty easy)
The Archer/Ariana gauntlet in particular would have screwed a blind player because it's a surprise ambush after you've got done battling several strong Rocket grunts, and imagine that fucking Giovanni fight blind kek

Yeah, I think the speed boost from the Max Airstreams is what did me in
I should have stuck with my plan of saving my Intelleon to Dynamax last but I got caught up in one-shotting the rest of his team that I forgot to swap one Pokemon before.
Hindsight is 20/20 after all. All in all, whichever game I do a Nuzlocke in next, I'm gonna play way smarter, I lost too many good mons to dumb mistakes on my part

Oh trust me I'm prepared. I do remember Shelly being passable in the orphanage due to her having a fucking Yanmega, but I distinctly remember Cain being actual dead weight against Sigmund. I'm considering fighting Sirius instead just to get his Chandelure out of my hair right away, but even then I dunno if that's a swell idea since his team's strong. Oh shit, and Aya sucked fucking cock in the Aster and Eclipse fight, I remember that. I'm definitely scared of that fight.

before taking on the final gym leaders, i decided to take on the gym leader rematches. i'll be quick since most were pretty easy:

lt. surge: his team is pachirisu (very buffed defensively with prankster), dracozolt, rotom-wash, boltund, dedenne (has electric surge), and mega manectric. i got a larvitar from the game corner (only mon i think ill get from the game corner for fairness) who i named johnson, and with sand rush aria and mariah (who gets high horsepower) and some careful play around his switches it was a breeze. he gives light clay and manectite on defeat.

misty: her team is politoed, kingdra, inteleon, huntail, greninja, and mega gyarados. pretty basic rain stuff. i took away her weather with johnson, pivoted around with haydn and shepard, then obliterated her team with scarfed mariah. bolt beak is so op. she gives froakie and gyaradosite.

brock: worried for me a minute because his team comp is strong. gigalith, lycanroc-dusk, sandslash (has sand rush), omastar (shell smash), tyranitar, and mega aerodactyl. then i realized reed with 3 iron defenses walled him to hell and back and his entire team was dead in 6 body presses. aerodactylite and stone edge are the rewards.

erika: i actually did end up having a sort of legit back and forth battle against erika. tsareena, rillaboom, serperior, breloom, bellossom, mega venusaur. mega abomasnow gets slush rush in this hack, so shepard took out most of the team, assault vest horace beat down breloom and did most of the work on mega venu for adrian to finish it, iman beat serperior. she gives grass knot and snivy on victory.

the final gym leader is clair, and she's got probably the most insane team yet. hahahaaa

wow, holy shit. reed i think has the ultimate mvp of this entire fucking run, jesus christ

for some reason, the viridian gym is entirely gutted except for clair. she starts with aerodactyl, i start reed:

>aerodactyl
I iron defense as it sets up rocks. but then it immediately swaps into
>naganadel
this game is fucking insane man. well i know it wants to flamethrower me so i swap hard into johnson, eating the flamethrower and the followup draco meteor as i set up my own rocks. i then hard swap into aria, using rock slide because i thought she would send out a ground immune mon, she doesn't, i take heavy damage but still get the kill thanks to sand
>dragonite
i swap back into reed as it e-speeds, then begin setting up iron defenses.

what follows is reed singlehandedly taking on dragonite, dracovish, and fucking MAGEARNA (i had to scout aura sphere with protect, didn't know if it had it) with a combo of iron defense, leech seed, and body press. what a god.

anyway her final mon is mega duraludon, g-max duraludon's mega replacement. it has some OC ability that prevents stat drops so it can freely spam draco meteor, reed does take big damage but OHKOs it's ass back with body press.

with the final badge, i get dragon pulse, duraludite, a draco meteor tutor, and a message that legendaries i can't catch have now begun roaming the map. can't wait to wipe in the league h-haha

oh there's so many of these fuckin fights, i'm gonna try and keep it short.

final rival fight before league has band staraptor, scarf kartana (just holy shit man), mega charizard x, barbaracle, electivire, and another goddamn hatterene. was easy though, no deaths

just outside of victory road, one more brendan fight was added. he has metagross, crawdaunt, latios (i swear to god), salamence, exploud, and mega sceptile. i lost adrian here due to me being a dumbfuck and not thinking crawdaunt had aqua jet

victory road is hard, most trainers have 5 pokemon, i'm sure some were ev trained too as they were doing way too much damage, some trainers were even busting out megas, i basically just used as many cheese stall strats where i could. moltres is also just hanging out on a side path lol. other than that nothing else to say

right before entering the league, the creator of the hack himself comes out to test your worthiness to enter. he starts with a level 250 gigalith......which immediately uses explosion, and is followed by a team of 5 shedinja that use phantom force and instantly die to the sand. very epic humor, i know. still could've lost someone here so i felt it was worth a mention.

god i am not looking forward to this

Here's where I'm at after defeating Chuck. Silky died to a Machoke in the gym using Rock Slide, which sucked especially since Silky would've made the fight against Chuck much easier. I filled the sixth slot with Biff who's been doing well so far, although I haven't had a chance to use him in any major battles. I led with Reggie against Chuck's Primeape, and I was able to put it to sleep before taking it out with a couple Surfs. I put his Poliwrath to sleep before switching out to Dude, but the bastard used a Full Heal. After setting up Reflect and poison, however, Dude was able to take out Poliwrath by using Razor Leaf a couple times and tanking a couple DynamicPunches. Being confused wasn't too big of an issue thankfully.

Finally took on the league after handling the Plasma plot. Big props to Tomoko, who joined the main squad and provided key bulk in many a battle during it.

>Vs Marshal
>Throh
Gothetta takes it out with a Flying Gem Acrobatics.
>Conkeldurr
I'm scared of Stone Edge, but I also can't risk it getting both Bulk Up and Flame Orb Guts started, so I go for Acrobatics... which is enough to KO, it turns out.
>Lucario
Gothetta U-Turns out, letting in Navi(carrying the Choice Scarf) as Lucario Calm Minds.
A Flamethrower dispatches the jackal.
>Sawk
I send in Tomoko on a Rock Slide.
Sawk hits her harder than I thought with Brick Break, but Iron Head knocks Sawk into the yellow.
I send in Yukimura on the next Brick Break, and he takes Sawk out with Scald.
>Mienshao
I send in Gothetta again, and Mienshao Bounces up.
Gothetta misses an Acrobatics because she's faster, but once Bounce lands, the next Acrobatics finishes the fight.

>Vs Grimsley
>Liepard
Liepard Fakes Out Tomoko, hurting itself more than her.
The next 4 turns are just Aerial Aces and Curses.
Liepard lands a 5th Aerial Ace, and Tomoko Rests away her injuries.
Another Aerial Ace as Tomoko sleeps puts Liepard into the red.
Grimsley uses a Full Restore as Tomoko keeps sleeping.
One final Aerial Ace, and then Tomoko wakes up and Iron Heads Liepard into dust.
>Scrafty
Tomoko weathers Brick Break just fine, and then knocks out Scrafty with Iron Head.
>Krookodile
It tries an Earthquake, then falls to Iron Head as well.
>Absol
X-Scissor fails to accomplish much, and Iron Head does Absol in.
>Bisharp
Two turns of X-Scissor and Iron Heads, and then the match is over.

Tomoko levels up to 68.

Navi Quiver Dances, and Musharna misses a Hypnosis(Lax Incense doing work!).
Another Quiver Dance, but the second Hypnosis hits.
Three turns of sleep and Dream Eaters follow.
On the fourth, Navi wakes up and Roosts, and Musharna misses a Dream Eater.
One Flamethrower later, Musharna is down.
>Sigilyph, Gothitelle, Reuniclus and Metagross
All of them fall to Flamethrowers.

Navi leveled up to 64 at some point during the battle, and replaces Flamethrower with Psychic.

>Vs Shauntal
>The Mummy
Navi(now with Leftovers) Quiver Dances 6 times in her opponents face, Roosting once during the setup phase to remove the damage taken by consecutive Shadow Balls.
After that, she blasts away with Psychic.
>The Hot-Air Horror, Lurking Golem, Vengeful Puppet and Creepy Chandelier
All of them fall to Psychic.

Navi levels up again, and I do some movepool changes for the rest of the team to prepare for the Iris Battle.

A whole bunch of Rests, Curses and Sings happen, and Lapras runs out of PP for both Blizzard and Hydro Pump(and might also have run out of Thunder).
After finally healing up fully with +6 Atk and Def in the bag, Tomoko takes out Lapras with Iron Head.
I didn't count turns, but this might have taken 25 or more.
>Druddigon
It misses a Focus Blast and gets vaporized by Iron Head.
>Aggron
Aggron decides that Head Smashing a Ferrothorn with Iron Barbs and Rocky Helmet is a good idea, and after that happens, it falls to Iron Head.
>Haxorus
It Dragon Dances, and Iron Head takes it all the way down to Focus Sash.
Iris Full Restores it, but with no Focus Sash to save it this time, Iron Head takes it out.
>Archeops
Even Flying Gem Acrobatics can't do much to +6 Ferrothorn, and Iron Head annihilates it.

No casualties during the league!

I stopped playing Pokemon some time around 2007/08 but I have crippling depression and have recently started desperately trying to get back to my childhood when I actually loved things. .
A nuzlocke looks like it might be fun to try and apparently gen VI is easy so I'll try a Gen VI nuzlocke.

i did 2 things before the e4: one, i grabbed the den capture in victory road, necrozma, and in cerulean cave, xurkitree, if bosses are going to use legends and shit i think i'm justified in using them. two, i maxed all IVs, then went after so many level 80 audinos in victory road. with enough grinding, you can bypass the level cap, which is 85, and also the level of every single pokemon the e4/champion use (they don't level scale), i NEED to be a few levels above the competition.

the e4 is so bullshit. it's so, so bullshit. but, i formulated a plan for each, which unfortunately means i can't really lose anyone by the end. it's also a bit of a pain since each e4 member optionally heals you fully after the fight and if anyone dies i can't restore my PP due to limited ethers/elixirs. anyway.

vs. Lorelei
Her team: Politoed, Ludicolo, Kingdra, Mega Swampert, Dracovish, and PRIMAL FUCKING KYOGRE

Lorelei is inarguably the toughest battle in the E4 proper for one reason - it's a double battle, so many things could go wrong.

She sends out Ludicolo and Politoed, I send in Sharma and Julie, who's immediately swapped for Haydn for Aurora Veil while Sharma mega evolves. I basically need Sharma to set up a ton of CMs then sweep with Psychic, but the Politoed can Encore lock me into spamming Calm Mind and then the AI can wear me down when I can't heal. So, essentially, to win this battle with no deaths, Haydn had to hit and keep sleep on the Politoed, while also swapping periodically into Reed and Desty so I could survive Dracovish and Mega Swampert and tank one attack from Primal Kyogre, who has both Water Spout and Origin Pulse.

And that...happened, somehow, the Politoed managed to drain Sharma of all of his Slack Offs, but I did manage to sweep the majority of the team with Sharma, eventually leaving just the Politoed, and having left Julie and Klein on the bench they were able to come in safely and beat it.

fuck me man

I make one slight adjustment before Bruno - I teach Sharma Scald over Psychic, as one of the teams he uses (yeah, remember the random team mechanic? it's in full force here) has a Bisharp.

vs. Bruno
His team: Infernape, Kommo-o, Bisharp, Heracross, Mega Lucario and Zamazenta (thankfully not the crowned one)

Bruno is...actually pretty free. I lead with Sharma, his lead is Infernape.

Basically what has to happen here is another Sharma sweep, and as long as I can beat the big threats that can kill Sharma before he gets going (Kommo-o, Bisharp) I'm golden. He swaps for Infernape immediately and goes to Kommo-o to Clangorous Soul, but Assault Vest Klein stops that dead. Bisharp comes out only to die to Reed. Heracross comes out, this is where he fucks up, this is choice scarfed, Sharma gets a free swap in on Close Combat and begins Cursing and Calm Minding, he tries to swap to Zamazenta midway through but it just doesn't work.

And that's gg, few Scalds later, he's dead. I actually had to redo the fight since I forgot to let him heal me, and it went the exact same way.

For Agatha, I made Desty my Mega instead, and taught Reed Stealth Rock over Body Press.

vs. Agatha
Her team: Grimmsnarl, Dragapult, Aegislash, Mimikyu, Mega Gengar, Marshadow

I had to get lucky for this, plain and simple. I lead Haydn.

I get off a Hypnosis on Grimmsnarl as it sets up a Screen, set up my own Aurora Veil, then send in Reed to set up stealth rocks - this is because the marshadow has a sash i need to break. this lures in the dragapult, which is where the luck comes in - I send in Desty on its flamethrower. If Desty had gotten burned the run would have been lost.

But thankfully I managed to set up 3 DDs, for some reason it stayed in to spam Flamethrower which was very stressful, but Desty got them all up, Mega Evolved, then ran down her team, Mold Breaker smashing through Mimikyu. She does try and Shadow Sneak with a few mons but Mega Desty is too bulky.

almost at the finish line

Could you actually believe that despite having the most bullshit team yet Lance is by far the easiest E4?

Haydn comes out on Garchomp, sets Aurora Veil as he swaps to Melmetal, I pivot to Reed to tank the Double Iron Bash, this prompts a switch to his Dracozolt that knows Flamethrower that gets Seeded. But he fucked up. From here I can send in Klein, set up CMs and Iron Defense and completely shut down his entire team. He tries to swap around a few times to that bullshit fucking Dialga (it has stats on par with Mega Rayquaza and an ability that acts like Filter) but eventually I get to +6 in all stats then run his team down with Photon Geyser.

I need to give myself a few minutes to mentally steel myself for the champion

you know that line blue says about how he's collected the ultimate assortment of pokemon to beat anything? well in this game, that's true!

Champion's Team: Mega Diancie, Togekiss, Cinderace, Ditto, DARKRAI, and PRIMAL FUCKING GROUDON

The Cinderace seems to be there no matter the starter you pick - I guess he just abandoned it lol

He sends out Mega Diancie, I start with Julie.
>Diancie
It Mega Evolves and I waste 0 time, I go for Energy Ball and murder it in one hit. He sends in
>Togekiss
Probably because he knows I'm Scarfed. I swap hard into Sharma on his Flamethrower as it burns me, then Scald as he swaps in
>Darkrai
This thing is such a gigantic threat. I swap back into Julie as he uses Dark Hole, an OC move with a high chance of sleep. Thankfully it doesn't happen and I KO back with Dazzling Gleam.
>Groudon
I have no good way of beating this thing. I swapped into Klein to set up Iron Defenses and CM as it uses Rock Polish. One crit and I WILL die, and I need a lot of buffs. But I get them all, and Photon Geyser to kill it off
>Cinderace
I don't want to leave something with tons of buffs on the field for Ditto, so I swap back to Sharma, who hard walls this. Its only move to hit me with is Sucker Punch, so I Curse once to offset its Bulking Up, then Scald it to death.
>Togekiss again
It flinch haxes me with Air Slash. I have no switch in as this is Scarfed, it will kill Julie, Sharma has to die.
What follows is really ultimate, absolute bullshit - the Togekiss gets flinch hax and kills EVERY SINGLE member of my team without getting hit once, I'm shitting so many bricks now. I send in Reed as a last resort as it swaps to Ditto, and this is where he fucks up - he goes for Iron Defense. It's a Scarf Ditto.

I send in Julie, finishing off the fake Reed, but I've realized there was no way I could win to Togekiss, as it has faster base Speed and is also Scarfed and can spam Flamethrower, so I have to accept my loss...

Long update this time, a lot's happened. So we went through the Lake of Rage, Mahogany Gym, and the Rocket Hideout without much fanfare; Ozzy bulldozed Pryce and his gym trainers, and Joan made the Rocket Hideout a breeze. However, when going through the Radio Tower, tragedy struck: Harrison was blasted by a Koffing's Self-Destruct, killing him in one shot. RIP. Bringing Arca into the team and having her in reserve with the Exp Share, we finished out the rest of the Radio Tower with only moderate trouble from the last Rocket Exec.
Oh, and uh, we caught Suicune. Yeah, so I don't have a banlist in my runs outside of not condoning Repel spam to run to the end of the dungeon to make the legendary your default first encounter, but because Suicune is sort of an event, I was able to catch it. IMO in the early games' hard to catch legendaries being a huge investment and risk, I think if you catch it, it's fair game. I still probably won't end up using it because it makes the run easy, and I have a water type anyways, but hey, it's there.

emerald kaizo, easy. i try to nuzlocke with no items/set/level cap to ace even in difficult games. to be fair i think radical red would be close to or maybe tied for number 1 had i adhered strictly to level caps for the e4 and didn't get raid encounters on top of normal encounters but this was supposed to be a 'casual' run that i eventually just didn't want to give up, maybe i'll redo it properly some day when the e4 rematches are made.

i think the true hardest game to nuzlocke with my usual rules short of outright troll hacks is reborn's difficulty hack or rejuvenation, particularly rejuvenation's intense mode, though. playing the game normally with items on shift is arguably on par with emerald kaizo, let alone playing a nuzlocke without items on set

>>45064537
yeah that definitely makes a lot of sense, i really should've read the docs more carefully.

Wonderlocke and wedlocke don't really appeal to me, and I'm not sure how I'd set up an egglocke alone. Is there a code I could use to spawn eggs of random Pokemon on an emulator or something of that nature?

I've had an idea for something called 'capitalocke' or something similar, where you'd earn points for completing tasks in the game, and where healing your pokemon or being allowed to catch pokemon for example would cost those points, but I never really wrote out the rules for something like that. I wonder if anyone else would find that interesting.

Beat Clair, thanks to both Ariana and Elton knowing Ice Punch. Ariana got low on health once Clair switched in Kingdra, so Elton subbed in to finish the job. Also caught a Gligar, one of my favorite Pokemon. Probably not gonna use it until Gen IV so I can use based Gliscor, but cool to have it.

>>45066922
Cool team Anon, Dodrio is a great addition. I'd consider swapping in Mankey, it's super fast and underrated. Gastly is also solid, but definitely hurts that both its STAB types are considered physical.

RIP to the Dude, but the rest of your team is super solid. Well, not Furret, but he's based so we'll let it slide. Lots of good additions in case you decide to swap him out.

in general when the game forces you to use zombies (such as say a gauntlet of fights where you're healed between) i just consider them dead, if they're my last mons it counts as a wipe, if they get roared/whirlwinded to they immediately must be switched out.

Post Indigo Plateau, we're the champs! But at a huge cost.
I thought this run was gonna be pretty breezy, but damn, was I mistaken.
>Will
Most of this fight was pretty easy, pivoting around Ariana and Ozzy depending on the Pokemon. But then Will's Slowbro one-shot Ariana, all 197 HP of her. It came as a massive shock to lose her right then. Ozzy handled the rest of the fight. RIP Ariana, you were an important lynchpin to the team.
>Koga
This fight went pretty smooth, Lynyrd handled Ariados, Ozzy handled Forretress, and then Joan handled Muk, Crobat, and Venomoth in sequence. Some low HP scares, but still pretty easy.
>Bruno
Oh man, this fight went poorly. Everything was smooth at first, Hitmontop and Hitmonchan were easily disposed of by Lynyrd, and Onix was beaten by Elton, but then came in Machamp. I was hoping that Lynyrd could take it out with two Fly's, but it got one-shot by Rock Slide. I was hoping then that Outkast could quickly take it out by Thundering; they missed, getting one-shot by Machamp. Elton finished it off and took care of Hitmonlee. Two fights left, three Pokemon still standing. RIP Elton; outside of Elton, you're our oldest partner, and you'll be missed. RIP Outkast, you were only on our team for a short time and uh... you didn't do anything, but your sacrifice will be honored.
>Karen
This fight was the easiest. Elton made easy work of Umbreon and Houndoom, and Ozzy wiped the floor with Vileplume, Gengar, and Murkrow. Lance up next, and I was worried for this one.
>Lance
Joan barely took out Gyarados with two Rock Slides, and then in comes Aerodactyl. I worried a lot about swapping in Elton, because I knew it couldn't die, or we lose the fight. So I had Joan stay in, and sacrificed her to the beast. RIP Joan, you did your job until the end. Elton was then able to sweep the rest of Lance's Dragonites with Ice Punch, with one close call, but he still wiped the floor with the Dragon Tamer.
And now we're down with the Indigo League.

Raticate Bites, Rattata Tackles, and Anne Works herself Up.
Raticate Bites, Rattata misses a Tackle, and Anne Headbutts Raticate.
Ratta Quick Attacks, Raticate Bites(activating Anne's Oran Berry), Anne does another Headbutt.
Another Bite from Raticate, a Pursuit from Ratta, but this third Headbutt brings the Totem down.
Rattata tries a final Tackle, then falls to Headbutt as well.

That's not how shift works, shift gives you the option to switch on killing a Pokemon, switch training is having a weak mon out front and then switching to a strong mon to eat a hit and get the kill.

As for shift vs set, nuzlocke rules don't concern themselves with that at all, it's entirely up to you.

No reason not to unless you want to add a lot more needless tedium and frustration. Leveling Magikarp is bad enough as it is, I don't think anybody would blame you for playing on Shift for it. Personally I don't see much reason to force Set for the entire game and use it only for "boss" battles.

We're in Kanto now, and beat Surge without a problem. The three new additions to our team are Rolling Stone the Steelix, Swan the Xatu, and Brittney the Snubbull (who we just caught). Rolling Stone being immune to basically all of Surge's moves makes the fight super duper easy.

>>45073840
If you're just grinding versus wild Pokemon, then whether or not you have on Switch or Set doesn't really matter. If you're talking about training it versus trainers, ask yourself if you feel ok with having it on the "easier" setting to make the game less tedious. A Nuzlocke is a self-imposed challenge, and there's no official rules beyond the basic three. Play the game in the way that's fun for you.

begin learning damage ranges for your pokemon early, get a good feel for how much damage you deal and how much damage you take. never play risky when you can play safe.
always grind more than you think you need to.
cynthia is not the only run killer, and there are some tough normal trainer fights. watch out particularly for double battles.
fire types are really damn good, if a bit scarce.
very early mons get intimidate - definitely use that to your advantage, they'll be valuable throughout the run.

Post Misty & Janine, really easy fights, nothing much to report here, easy fights with Elton and Rolling Stone taking them on respectively. Still searching for a 6th team member, but I don't really have much worthwhile prospects. Maybe Grimer?

man it's amazing how just one rule makes this game so much fucking harder
anyway
roxanne: felicia sweep
brawly: dolan sweep
may 2 was so much more manageable considering i was able to leave the route after beating her, and wasn't scraping by with very weakened mons to beat 6 trainers afterward
wattson: felicia swept most of his team, dolan got fucked by manectric's crit, delita killed it tho
p easy, but this game's not too hard when you're allowed to actually heal

>>45083126
based team, if maybe a little weak to olivia. just b careful
>>45084520
your team looks super set for the rest of the game and red, i think you can train whatever you want. imo i think grimer shines in later games more (especially in the SM games if you don't count regional forms as separate) so ridding it now might not be the best choice

Well, I'm just gonna say that Akko's ability earns it name here.
>Vs Totem Lurantis
Lurantis hits Akko with X-Scissor, and Akko hits back with Supersonic Skystrike and inflicts serious damage. Comfey is called up.
Lurantis uses Synthesis to heal up, Comfey sets up Sunny Day, and Akko... lands a Hidden Power Fire Crit, taking out the Totem.
Three turns of Flower Shields(unsuccessful, duh) and Wing Atttacks(with a crit on the last one) and Comfey falls as well.

norman: i forgot pelipper gets protect very early by levelup. i didn't feel like grinding, so i beat him down with delita, brought a sack mon in polly the spinda (yes i am a dick but i'm not using a fucking spinda and i didn't want to grind up so a switchin could live a crit facade), then stephen got him down to -6 atk with growl before delita and felicia fucked it up.

About the most you can do, really, is train them up for the upcoming battles.
Rattata's an early-game beast if it evolves, Hoothoot's a nice Flying Pokemon to have once it learns more moves, and Geodude is insanely good for those early-game Gyms. Can solo Falkner, Bugsy, and even Whitney.

No Crush comes though, just another bite, and a second Hidden Power Water- this time a crit, finishes it off.

>What should I evolve Eevee into?
Espeon or Umbreon would be your best bet I'd say, with Jolteon coming as a close second
Espeon is absolutely fantastic offensively (though I'd recommend waiting until Eevee gets Bite cuz its coverage is kinda shite) and Umbreon is surprisingly quite useful in a nuzlocke, especially since you're so close to getting the TM for Toxic
Jolteon is also a good option, especially in Hoenn due to the million water types, while Vaporeon is slightly less useful in Hoenn for the same reason, there are just so many other good Water types to choose from that you'd be better off choosing something else
Flareon is Flareon, you'll probably get a much better Fire type in the coming routes

We've finished all the gyms in Kanto, nothing to report in these fights, outside of Blue. His Gyarados put up a big fight, Rolling Stone and Morrissey almost bit it, Ozzy took a good beating, and Brittany got utterly annihilated by his Gyarados' Hydro Pump. RIP. We still won though.
Time to train for Red, thinking about leaving the team at just Elton, Ozzy, Rolling Stone, and Swan. Probably better to save Honchkrow for future games, and the only other addition I'd consider at this point, with this part, is Snorlax.

misty wasn't too bad but i just was not getting good mons for her so i brought some sacks of mons i didn't think i'd use, now i know you can get both ivysaur, milotic and bayleef before the fight though.
lt. surge and the rival both fucking sucked, like holy shit both went the absolute worst ways possible, not only did i lose dugtrio to the rival because of absolutely retarded fucking AI (electabuzz using ice punch randomly on magmar switch, and no it does not read your inputs the game was just being retarded) but he managed to get four turns of flan doing nothing against his golbat with flinches and misses
lt. surge was a massive paralysis fest, there was one sequence of events where faby literally LITERALLY did not break paralysis once out of 7 turns in a row, fucking ridiculous

So there's a DexNav feature that allows you to look through a route's available list and pick out something you want, which makes route bloat a lot more manageable.
To give a quick rundown of what I thought about the game:
Pros:
>difficulty was done really well, there were a few battles I thought were unfair (Lorelei and Koga in particular) but with everything else you're given more than enough to win and it's difficult without being overwhelming
>Gen 8 exp share makes grinding very manageable
>side bosses scaling with your level was a really nice touch and outside of Morty consistently give great rewards
>lots of little QoL features (autorun, nature switcher, HA switcher, EV/IV checker) are fantastic
>new story addition with giovanni was pretty well done
Cons:
>creator threw in a lot of very cringy jokes (there's a little girl who says she loves Smash players sliding into her DMs, Whitney talks about guys wanting feet pics from her)
>brendan is added as a rival but is basically just a less annoying hop reskin
>the vs seeker getting removed means farming tons of money is a chore until the end of the game
>raid bosses are cool but pretty brainless for the most part
>lorelei really fucking sucks
Overall, really solid hack.

>>45104430
Absolutely use it, Chansey is probably one of the best mons in any nuzlocke.

Also dropping this FRO run because my luck is starting to get really bad and my frustration is starting to get a bit high. I'll try again in a bit now that I know how to optimally get captures I want

Pick related reminds me of my jolteon, he was my sole survivor after gardenia and led me to victory through wayward cave trainers, died to aaron because of poison. And i did set a personal rule of 3 attempts for each gym leader/admin. Anyone dies but get a victory, they stay dead, full wipe mean one attempt. Also i keep having a werid/funny glitch with Mars where her fucking purugly spams facade and eventually her fucking sprite starts to float off of the circle beneath and starts rising higher and higher with each facade

Walked into the pokemon league and my rival decided to sneak up on me and fuck my team up. Losing my Staraptor was a huge blow. I was lucky enough to get a Gabite in Victory Road, so I'm hoping this team is enough to pull me through. What's a good level to have my team at?

Took a short break from Ultra Moon because I really just didn't want to fucking do the third island, so I decided to try nuzlocking Colosseum to see if it was viable for my inevitable next autismlocke sometime in the future
Ended up wiping against Venus after having hemorrhaged mons heavily up to that point (Dakim taking out 4 solid mons on his own), valuable information to know for next time that she's a violent level spike, going from high 30s/low 40s to mid 40s immediately.
Might consider lifting my "no HP/status restore items in battle unless opponent does it" for those games since constant double battles are way brutal, but I did make it pretty far without it.
Nevertheless, back to Ultra Moon for now, get that shit over and done with.

Walking off this >>45110233 disappointment (won Yellow with Rapidash anyways, so I'm not even sure I could've used it, unsure if the Shiny Clause supercedes championship bans, what do you guys think)...
Crystal is down! The Red run was a fair challenge, but we still beat him. I (stupidly) kept in Rolling Stone against his Charizard in hopes of landing a Rock Throw, and of course, he got OHKO'd by a Flamethrower. RIP Stones, that was my fault.
Anyways, Feraligatr, Arcanine, and Xatu are added to the hall of champs, and are banned. It's been fun going through Gen II again since they were my first games, and ending it with Arcanine, my favorite 'Mon, was a fitting way to cap it off. Onto Gen III!

Rough losses, but still a reasonable team shell so far. Dusclops/Dusknoir can be great for Nuzlocke runs.

I ended up in a pretty bad spot against Veteran Brone's Honchkrow. It landed a Night Slash crit on my Magnezone(forcing it to switch out), and after that I more or less had to try to beat it with whatever I sent in next. Anne was the one chosen, but while she did a good job(Doll Eyes weakening the crow and getting a Facade in), she was overcome and fell to a Night Slash crit. Her work made sure noone else fell.
I'm sad, I actually really like Furfrou and it is a great Nuzlocke mon.

Alright, so here's an idea that backfired. I thought I'd start an X run with EXP Share on, but use it the way it was intended and raise a party of more than 6. So I thought I'd catch EVERY encounter and force myself to use it. No ignores. Cycle out the high-level ones for the weakest as I go. I was gonna bring the whole region with me.

But of course THESE are the encounters I get when I'm FORCED to use everything. To recap, that's:
-4 Bug-types
-4 Flying-types (Burmy's male so it will be)
-3 Bug/Flying-types (with Mothim)
-3 Grass-types (I rolled for starters, hence Ivysaur when I have Quilladin)
-3 Poison-types
-2 Grass/Poison-types

I'm also level 17 and have 4 fully-evolved mons since they're such shitmons. My Ralts (which COULD have been a Ledyba or Combee, thank God) stands proud among this shit team by having two unique types across the whole thing.

As pissed as I sound, it's pretty funny, so I'll definitely keep going. Can't wait to get a Zubat in the cave and up my Poison and Flying numbers.

Sounds like a fun twist on a notoriously easy generation. I usually run through the game without EXP Share because there are some oddly placed difficulty spikes during the latter half of the game. At your stage in the game, I'd recommend a fairy type especially one that learns Charm. Granbull cucks the numerous fighting types.

>Vs Totem Mimikyu
Mimikyu hits Emmy with Shadow Claw, and she fires off a Charge Beam, breaking the Disguise and boosting her own Special Attack. Banette gets called up.
Mimikyu Shadow Claws again, but then gets Corkscrew Crashed into dust. Banette pulls off a Feint Attack.
Flash Cannon cleans up Banette, finishing off the battle.
I brought Amy for Mimikyu, but I might honestly make her a mainstay on the squad, despite the identical typing to Magnezone. Electric/Steel is a fantastic type, and my other mons handle ground-types well anyway. My only worry is that my team is pretty badly equipped for Molayne(but that assumes I manage to get there without any casualties, which is probably a tall task).
Also, I'm holding off on leveling Akko at the moment so I can pick up Nasty Plot(Level 35 Honchkrow).

Maxie did not go as planned; I intended on healing up Ween while Maxie's Golbat was on the field, but after I swapped in Magma, he switched in his Camerupt abruptly. Hoping to bait a Magnitude, I swapped in Aces; instead, he used Ember, killing our birb instantly. After Ween got the revenge kill, his Golbat then went on a rampage, killing Ween and King Krule like it was nothing. Magma finally got lucky and brought the behemoth down (I didn't have Blondie on my team because I needed room for an HM Slave; in retrospect, I should've boxed Fiona and saved that leveling for later.

do the starters in 4th gen count as first route encounters?
i always thought the encounters start after you obtain the pokeballs, but since you get them on route 201 i wasn't sure if there's a difference

Yeah I always count my starters as being from the hometown in whatever game I’m playing. If you want to be strict, then technically you get them on a separate route in most regions, but I personally don’t it find that all that fun to just ice a full route of encounters.

Didnt level up before going to Celestic Town, Susan almost bit it against trainer Luxio. Next up is a double against two lv36 mons. Shit, back to training, everyone to lv35 should be enough. Andrew dies 2 battles latter after 2 hits from Machoke lv34.
Monica, welcome to the team, new honorary carrier of Exp Share. 7th gym being Ice type and the snow area in the north were the only thing I remembered from gen 4 and I needed some counter for that.
Also instant healing and constant double battles in the island cave, where you get full exp, are pretty usefull.

Monica: if ground/rock is also present use Flame Blast, if not Flame wheel. Only switched out for Phil against Bastiodon. Surf spam with one healing in between.

Just beat Grant; finally had one death to his Amaura. Crit Refrigerate Take Down against my Rhyhorn. I have two other Ground- and Rock-types, but I'd still rather have kept Rhyhorn compared to... some of these other encounters.

If anyone's curious about what running EXP Share does to a team of 17: every mon was either level 20 or 21 before fighting Grant's team of two 25s. I'm not grinding at all. It's pretty ridiculous that I might have similar levels for a team of 6 in a normal Nuzlocke without EXP Share.

I'd say SMT is damn good, yeah. There's plenty of games to play in the series from mainline, to Digital Devil Saga, to Devil Summoner, to the admittedly more popular Persona series.

The older games are a bit tough to play because, y'know, older RPGs aren't exactly the most player-friendly. SMT is definitely worth checking out though, but beware some of the (admittedly in some cases overhyped) difficulty. Game prioritizes finding weaknesses and using buffs/debuffs.

I'd like to also add, based team.

This run's getting interesting. Two slaughters just occurred because I'm officially underleveled for the threats coming out in this cave. I've barely gotten through it but the Machoke/Mr. Mime fight outside and the trainer with the Hawlucha inside killed two and three mons apiece.

Butterfree fell to crit Psybeam + confusion damage from Mr. Mime, and Farfetch'd got taken out by Machoke's Low Sweep from full. No crit.

Hawlucha came out with a surprise Rock Tomb for my Vivillon, then took out Vileplume and Ivysaur with Aerial Aces. If those sound like horrible matchups, it's because they were. I had better answers like Golbat, but they were in the box. The only thing that could take a hit was Hippopotas, but it only had Bite to damage it back. Hawlucha ended up going down to sandstorm damage + a Leech Seed that Ivysaur landed while it was sleeping. Can't wait to be pulverized a bit more by this cave, cause I'm still refusing to grind.

Grinded up the rebuild for Flannery, which took a while given that I'm replacing three members here, but we got there. The Flannery fight went super well... almost. Hitomi almost swept the entire team, but got paralyzed by her Torkoal's first Body Slam. I didn't feel comfortable switching in anything else, so I hoped that she could tank it; alas, she could not. Magma got the easy revenge kill, but I still feel like it should've been an easily preventable loss. Alas, I'm now going to get my encounter in the desert, and train up for Norman.

So I realized I really had no answer to Guzma's Pinsir in his final battle now that it packs Stone Edge. It's fast and very strong- no mon could switch in and then take it out without going down itself, and even if taking it on head on, most of my mons would struggle.
So I decided on a plan.

Amy Rose Nuzzles the big bug, and it becomes fully paralyzed.
Zing Zap then triggers Emergency Exit, letting in...

Amy U-Turns out, letting in Dastardly, the level 21 Gyarados. He intimidates Pinsir, and even survives Storm Throw.
A Stone Edge takes him out though.
Yaya comes in next.
She weathers a Storm Throw, and then takes out Pinsir with Continental Crush.
>Masquerain
I send Amy Rose in again on an Air Slash.
She Nuzzles the moth, but it gives her the cold shoulder with Icy Wind.
A Zing Zap cleans it up.
>Golisopod
It falls to Zing Zap as well.

Amy U-Turns out, letting Emmy in on a Thunderbolt.
Emmy, wearing her Choice Specs, hits Vikavolt with Signal Beam, and it hits back with Bug Buzz.
A final Signal Beam takes out the Team Skull Leader.

Burnout is inevitable, but when you're out fo the burnout things will go like a fucking train. Its worse for the guys who don't allow champs to be reused, since I figure the grind is even worse, let alone the amount of encounters. Johto is probably the biggest filter though.

USUM Guzma did a rapetrain on me during my first runthrough, and he's about as bad as the totems if you dont have a good resist.. But in last run I had the hard counter. Pelipper

I wonder though, for autismlockes, do you just not count an encounter if you find a champ and just keep rolling for one that ISN'T a champ, or is it like, tough shit, and you just go about the next area to see if you get something worthwhile?

I think its this, because other Autismlockers tend to have low-percent encounters in later runs.

I got lucky tons of times by getting low chance encounters though, so could be luck

Got the first badge. However, we lost some guys to get it.
>VS Geodude
Vivian the Budew set up a Growth and took a bit of damage from Rock Throw. However, one Mega Drain was more than enough to finish Geodude.
>VS Onix
I set up one more Growth to get ready for Cranidos, but Onix's Screech made me nervous about having Vivian out when Cranidos comes in.
I swap to Duxor the Psyduck. Onix sets up Stealth Rock and gets a light hit in before I destroy it with Water Gun.
>VS Cranidos
Duxor's Water Gun does just a little less than half Cranidos's max HP, but a Pursuit followed by a Headbutt does too much damage.
>Duxor is DEAD.
Vivian jumps in ready to go and gets smashed by a crit Headbutt
>Vivian is DEAD.
I'm not confident Cidal the Monferno can finish Cranidos with a single Mach Punch, so I put in Hoslo the Starly to do just a little bit of damage with Quick Attack. He, too, falls to the mighty Headbutt.
>Hoslo is DEAD.
In comes Cidal to end this fight. Roark uses a Potion as I follow up with two Mach Punches to finish the battle.

Platinum is a challenge for sure. I have some rebuilding to do.

>>45129362
Old champs were teams I ran back in 2014-15 or so. Even though I've more or less started with a clean slate in 2019, I may come up with some rule in a future run that concerns old champs.

Lusamine time.
I happen to know her mons hit very hard, but Clefable is fairly free setup bait for my Magnezone, so I decided to run dual screens. Charge Beaming to +6 might work, but I felt that would be remarkably risky.
>Vs Lusamine
>Clefable
Amy Rose Nuzzles it, and it screams out with Hyper Voice.
Iron Head causes a Flinch.
She U-Turns and lets Emmy in on a full paralysis.
Emmy sets up Light Screen(Light Clay), as Lusamine switches in...
>Bewear
I was not expecting this, and I think I panic a little bit. Since I do have Sturdy, I go on the offensive, rather than put up Reflect(by far the better choice)
I'm rewarded for my aggressive choice as Discharge scores a Crit, and Lusamine for some reason uses Take Down rather than Drain Punch(which would have done massive damage and made sure another Discharge would never be enough).
A second Discharge takes it out.
>Lopunny
I switch Yaya in on a Dizzy Punch.
Lopunny gets a second Dizzy Punch out, then falls to Brick Break.
>Clefable again
I get Emmy back in on a Full Paralysis.
She sets up another Reflect(just to stall a Light Screen turn, Lusamine has no more physical attackers), and Clefable fires off a Moonblast.
After another turn with a Reflect fail and a Charm, Light Screen fades.
Emmy sets up another Light Screen on yet another Full Paralysis.
Clefable finally falls to Flash Cannon.
>Milotic
It fires of a Dragon Pulse, and then gets hit by a powerful Discharge.
Hydro Pump does reduce Emmy to red health, but another Discharge takes out Milotic.
>Lilligant
I send Akko in on Petal Dance.
Another Petal Dance lands, but an Aerial Ace Crit makes short work of the plant.

My previous run(way, way back) had a perfect duo for the job in Queenly Majesty Tsareena and Alolan Muk.
Tsareena ignores everything but Razor Shell, sets up Light Screen and weakens Golisopod with two Trop Kicks.
Alolan Muk switches in, sets up 6 Minimizes, then Gunk Shots and Fire punches the way to victory.

This is very accurate. I got through double Furfrou only because I knew it was coming and I had double Leech Seed.

I'll keep that in mind and try to keep Golett below my team's level curve so it doesn't become too high to have on my party at the time.

Hehh, well, Ultra Necrozma ended up being a complete joke
After trying to meme on it by using my Zorua and a Crabrawler (it didn't go for Photon Geysir like it was supposed to, so it broke through Zorua's Illusion and killed it and the Crabrawler) I went back with my full team, having my level 62 Malamar in front equipped with a Focus Sash, ready to use it up now and leave the Totem Ribombee fight up to chance
Somehow I had forgotten that Ultra Necrozma only gets a +1 to its stats and not a +2, I had assumed +2 in my damage calculations and with +2 it was guaranteed to kill Malamar with a Dragon Pulse, but with a +1 it was a guaranteed 2shot instead
So after enduring a Dragon Pulse (leaving Malamar at about ~30% HP), Malamar switched out for Nancy the Mantine, used one X Sp Def which was more than enough to survive a Dragon Pulse, Sitrus Berry activated and with a Roost we were up to full HP again, Power Gem doing pitiful damage
One Blizzard later and Ultra Necrozma was no more

Ayy, nice to see you running again! Shame about the rough start there, but at least you've still got Monferno!

>>45130312
>>45130499
Yeah, I've been going with the "keep rolling for non champ lines", I really like that since then you have to think strategically about who you champ early on, both for what mons you'd rather use later and for what mons you DON'T wanna use later. Being able to have a greater chance at using lower-percentage encounters in later games definitely feels like a special treat since you've kinda made yourself deserving of it

>>45129463
Like >>45130047 said, burnout is pretty unavoidable, I've had to take multiple breaks to just like, play another game for a week or so, but then I quickly return back to this. I mean, you kinda have to have some level of autism (actual or no) to do this kinda challenge in the first place, I was definitely the kind of person that would just get obsessed with one game at a time for weeks to begin with, so this challenge hasn't really been that rough all things considered (save for some parts like having to do Ula'Ula Island four times in a row or having to grind in the Gen 2 games)

And that is all the trials done with! Mina's trial went altogether smoothly, Lovely Gal soloing Ilima, Lovely Gal and Nancy taking on Lana, Nancy soloing Kiawe (and Hiker David) and Lovely Gal taking care of Nanu
Totem Ribombee would've been a huge bitch to take down, but thankfully we still had the Focus Sash handy, so one Topsy-Turvy later from Hawk and Magpie was able to take care of the rest, even picking up a Quiver Dance on the switch-in
Hapu's trial was equally uneventful, Nancy pretty much hard-countering her entire team (seriously, if you're ever doing USUM, get yourself a Mantine, the thing is fucking great for these games)
Absolutely fucking pumped at being this close to the end, nothing better go wrong now or I swear imma lose it, I'm so ready to put Alola behind me y'know, until I inevitably do this again some day

I did use Golett and it did indeed shit all over her. Amaura died to Serena's Braixen, though.

Here's a question: should I take the Mega Lucario from Korrina? I usually just skip it because it makes things too easy, but the whole point of this run is to force myself to use every encounter I find so the EXP gets split a million ways. First to weigh in can decide what I do about Lucario.

Also, how the fuck do I not have a Water-type at all?!

Cool. Just realized it's Level 32 and my team is all 25/26, so it'll be a while before I get to use it anyway. Hopefully it'll be more in-check in the late game.

Reversal Mountain was brutal. I lost my Sawsbuck AND Sandslash to the same Excadril! I stupidly went for dig when Exca used Earthquake. I then tried to finish it off with Bambi the Sawsbuck but EXca outsped and landed Horn Drill....
To make things worse, The rival battle snuck up on me in Undella Town and he took out my Zebstrika, who was starting to really pull its weight on the team. Ah well. Grinding up a Jellicent was super easy due to Audino being unable to touch it, and I'm excited to use Tangrowth and Kilngklang.

I'm weirdly sad that all my Bug/Flyings are dead, even though I have 2 more Bugs and 3 more Flyings. Part of the charm of my team was rocking 3 Bug/Flyings in the early-game. Mothim hit himself in confusion after taking a Psybeam from Meowstic outside the gym; now they're all gone.

No deaths in the Grass gym, though. Crobat finished all three mons off with full HP thanks to Black Sludge.

>>45133146
That sucks, something similar happened to me in a White 2 run I did earlier in the year. I lost a couple teammates in Reversal Mountain, then it became easier for trainers to take out the rest of my team since I had less ways to counter them, and it just became a slippery slope of death. Your new team is looking pretty solid though.

It's funny how you can sweep so many of the Kalos gyms so effortlessly. Also RIP your Bug/Flying bros
