Added a Jolteon to the team to make up for my weakness to Flying and certain Water types.

Tried to do a nuzlocke of SwSh and quit after losing a really good mon to my own stupidity. I get they're easy games but does anyone have some extra rules I could try out since I'm too much of a pussy to do a "real" nuzlocke?
It'd also be helpful to hear how to incorporate Wild Area/IoA/CT encounters.

Not familiar with the Gen8 games myself but you could add rules like the ability to use Revives that you find naturally on dead pokemon to make it easier. If you don't use items in battle maybe change that to 1 or 2 Super Potions in battle.

When my kid brother does them he likes to add a rule where if a Pokemon fights against a leader (actually fights, not just stays in party) it earns a revive token. It can hold 1 token at a time, and a maximum of 2 tokens.

Also, I've heard people do Wild Area encounters the same way route encounters. One for each "section", which scales pretty well with the game since certain parts of the wild area are impossible to catch in until you have the appropriate number of badges

Doing Volt White 2 with hardcore rules, and while I probably lose to Roxie, this Lilipup was the most clutch thing I've ever seen. Misses a Take Down which I thought would've killed the run, but from there on like 9hp, she gets 3 straight bite flinches, Pickup gets an oren berry, and the next turn a berry juice. I want to keep this run going just for her now.

It's surprising that SG/SS are actually older than BB/VW and BB2/VW2. SG/SS feels a lot more polished and "fair" - there's a good difficulty curve and you don't hit a real "fuck you" spike until Bugsy, whereas in BB/VW you're thrown on your ass right out the gates. Early wild pokemon are strong (and a ton of them know Metronome) but give laughably low experience and most early trainers are throwing starters at you. Damage is high and health is low, almost everything can one-shot everything else.
BB2/VW2 is just straight fucked and if you try to nuzlocke it you're probably into getting your nuts stepped on.
Anyway I'm salty because my entire team was just wiped by a level 12 Spinda that rolled Uproar off Metronome. Fuck this and fuck Drayano.
Renegade Platinum or RR/SS next?

Based Braviary is my starter, just beat Roxie. Garbodor isn't nicknamed because I hit the wrong button... It's dumb that you can't just change the nickname at literally any time from the menu screen. No casualties yet, although a random trainer with a Cresselia got every single member of my team into the red, and I barely scraped though that one. Onto Castelia.

I'd wager it's a few things: Emerald is relatively short, most people have played it, there's a good selection of Pokemon, and of course, it's one of the most easily emulatable games in the franchise.

Personally I went for Sapphire because it was the only Gen 3 game I hadn't played under any circumstance and because I wanted to try something different.

HG works fine on emulators overall. It just has an issue where the sprites will go batshit every now and again, and once they do, the next time you enter a building the whole screen goes black. So whenever you see sprites bugging out, you just save and reset and everything's cool.

Last time I posted about it, I was told that HGSS were generally fucky for emulation and the problems were basically unavoidable
If it doesn't happen too often, I'll have to see about trying that again once I'm done with Emerald. First time it happened for me was literally right after I got my starter.

My pre-Fantina line-up!

Coronet, and an Eevee that has a Thunderstone in its future, because FUCK Crasher Wake and Cyrus's Gyaradoses.

I just realized that all of Mt. Coronet is ONE encounter. If Sinnoh wasn't otherwise replete with encounters, I'd be a little salty.

>>45962350
It's unavoidable insofar as the problem WILL occur and there's no mod for it. It's fixable in that you can get ahead of the blackout with a quick save/reset. I've run HGSS on emulator a ton. A little bothersome on occasion, but perfectly playable.

Aight, this is the state of things going into the Champion
Tubs went down first to Lorelei, from a surprise Outrage from an Omastar
Then Duk took another Outrage from Agatha's Minun
And Sean took a Hydro Cannon from Lance's Claydol (which I thought was just Steel, turns out it's Steel/Water)

Almost shat myself when Lance pulled out a Zapdos for his last Pokemon, turns out it's a Normal type and just spammed Tackle.

I'm definitely doing another one of these type-randomized runs soon, maybe in Platinum or Heartgold. Most fun I've had in Pokemon in a while.
Might even randomize stats, but I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Absolutely. I started trying it this week, and I've only beat Cheren twice on like 8 attempts, and then Roxie on only 1 of those 2. And on every win, I only had 1 pokemon left. I'm currently grinding for Burgh, but I probably die, cause his team is absolutely overpowered this point in the game. If you hid the levels, you wouldn't be able to tell of this was the 3rd gym or an elite 4 member. Dray must've been on one when he was "balancing" these fights.

First two gyms victories were collective efforts from Shillzard, Elsen, Alejandro, Fatchu and Randy. I was kinda scared of Surge since my bird crit'd the Diglet encounter but Nikki just Wrapped everything dead. Against Erika it was just Fly spam.

Honestly not sure. I think Platinum makes whether you fight Maylene or Wake first optional, so you might be able to loop around to the mansion. Unless something else blocks your path. I've never tried going straight there before taking on the gyms.

I need to reconsider my life. I know Rotom won't outspeed at equal level, and I'm half-sure that a non-crit T-Bolt won't oneshot Floatzel, but I'm pretty sure a Crunch will 2HKO Rotom. That's not a good outlook. Maybe Thunder will be the way to go for this. I think a good Thunder might put the Floatzel down.

eevee needs to get bite at lv29 to have any STAB besides payback (tm) until lv36 for faint attack.

i think jolteon or vaporeon are both good choices; vaporeon might be worth it long run if you hit thunder.

Quite the shake-up from last gym. With Hoocha really starting to ramp up her game, and the next four gyms being a very poor matchup, we boxed Jagger with a heavy heart and brought in a new gang to fill in the ranks. While Vesu, Allie, and Hoocha are no less excellent, they're joined by a Vaporeon without STAB, a Rotom whose only goal in life is to run amps through Water types, and the single most MOTIVATED Pokemon ever to live. Maylene down. Four more gyms to go.

Mate, maybe do a vanilla game for your first Nuzlocke. Of the Dray hacks, SGSS is probably the best, but it's still a difficulty hack. Dip your toes in the water first. Lot of shit goes into Nuzlocke that doesn't get trained in a normal run, no matter how versed in the series you are. You've got Nuzlocke habits to form.

Fair, I get it. I didn't want to do vanilla HGSS though because I just replayed it after years and only now realized how atrocious the leveling curve is, so I don't want to play Johto again without something fixing that, yet I still find the region comfy and would like to play it with proper and non-rushed balancing and a better dex so SGSS seemed perfect for me.
You might be right, though. I'll start by Nuzlocking Red or Yellow or something basic.

Came through on the other side of facing Norman, but not without great loss. Because of Facade (I'm dumb), we lost Mireska, who's been with us since Petalburg Forest. We came through the other side of the fight without losing anyone else (his last Slaking spammed Focus Punch like an idiot), but that one was a huge loss. I was thinking of eventually boxing her because we already have a fighting-type, but I didn't want it to end like this... That said, making it through this fight is a relief, and we can still rebuild off of this. (Also my encounter on the Route 111 desert was a Baltoy who self-destructed lul.)

Sometimes I give myself a break from the death rule if I'm already on an explored area and just grinding against wild mons before an important fight. There is no challenge on that point, is just a patience check. So I prefer to have more freedom in training someone to death, but I do try to not abuse this. I may do it twice during a run, and always do it on the last grind before E4.

Is it worth doubling up the elemental punches with typhlosion and kadabara? Typhlosion's best set is thunder punch and fire punch until flame thrower. Kadabara's best set is all 3 punches and one of his learned psychic move, or is the coverage redundant at that point?

Wake down, just as planned. He was kind enough to send Floatzel in against Rotom, so I didn't have to switch to eat a move.

The sheer number of encounters and relative power of available Pokemon seems to make Platinum better overall.

Granted, I still have the Celestic Cyrus fight, the entire Mt. Coronet debacle, a couple of Barry fights, and the E4 gauntlet, but at least the game is nice enough to let you get a team set up before fucking you.

Addendum: With the notable exception of Fatto Catto, against whom I was very lucky to get a Magnitude 9 from my Geodude at the time. But still, one roadblock in the early game is much better than Black.

abomasnow got toxic+ doubleteam stalled by spaghet

froslass's blizzard only does half to umbreon, until blizzard #4 crits and kills.

jimothy comes in and hits flash cannon on two double teams+snow cloak thank god for jimothy.

piloswine goes down no problem

RIP leo his role wasn't as significant as everybody else's but without his sacrifice whittling down froslass i'm sure the party would've suffered more.

Welp. Pictured: My equal-leveled Gabite going down to a non-critical Bubblebeam from a -6 Accuracy Empoleon after switching into an Aerial Ace (took out maybe 20% of his HP) and failing to KO with an Earthquake.

So a super-effective 100 BP move can't take out an equally-leveled opponent, but a neutral 65 BP move can do at least 80% HP damage. Without a crit. Also it hit despite being -6 Accuracy.

I'm not even mad. I'm just fucking befuddled. What was the right move here?

How do you feel about changing some of the base rules of Nuzlockes? Nuzlocking was supposed to be about trying out new pokemon and tactics that you normally wouldn't but I feel like after a couple of runs everything is pretty much the same and quite the opposite to that "new mons and tactics" rule. I tend to use the strongest available mons for obvious reasons (I run mostly dray's & similar hacks and I never use items in battle), and most of the movesets are no-fun, reliable-damage, not-meme stuff. From what I see, people itt are doing that as well.

For a while now I'm continuing runs after a whiteout because assembling a new team from garbage leftover at the PC is the purest nuzlocke experience for me. I also did a "Teamlocke" of Sacred Gold where only full whiteout kills my team, allowing me to experiment with fun shit like self-destruct or some other meme strategies.

What do you think anons? Are you changing some of the core rules?

Aye lad, I know. So, interesting note: If two Pokemon with Weather abilities are sent out simultaneously, the SLOWER Pokemon's Ability overwrites the faster one's. Hippowdon has a lower base Speed than Abomasnow. And, glory be, I've calced out that even with my hippo's neutral Nature and ABYSMAL possible spread of Sp.Def and HP IVs, it can even switch in on a perfect Froslass Blizzard and live with proper EV training.

Now, I don't know how Gym Leaders' Pokemon tend to be statted out, but that Froslass literally CANNOT OHKO my Hippowdon without a crit.

unfortunately blizzard doesn't get an accuracy reduction from any weather like Thunder and Hurricane do in sunshine. Best of luck assuming it learns Crunch or similar

even with umbreon's nature not helping me tank blizzard any better and mediocre IV spread it would tank a Hail boosted Blizzard

until it crit me and bye-bye Umbreon

Like other anons said, it's more of a "middle of the road" kind of Pokemon. Certainly unique in terms of how you get it, but in terms of stats, movepool, etc, it's pretty standard save for how you encounter it and the appliance gimmick

Be warned that the Honchkrow has Heat Wave, so Lucario could be pretty risky. Something worth considering though is throwing out Staraptor vs it to Initmidate it then try to tank with something else

I think the best way to change things up at least in terms of what Pokemon you use is the "Champs" rule some anons are using where if you beat the game with certain Pokemon, you can't use them in future playthroughs of other games. Makes things really interesting

I mean, I tried a randomized HeartGold run one time and what it basically was as far as I know was any place where there would be a wild Geodude it was actually a wild Clefable, etc.

Is it possible to create a file where every single encounter/trainer/item/learnt move is randomized? that's what I would like ideally

For me, Game Over is when I have no living Pokemon left at all in a given run. It has only happened once so far, and I haven't wiped mid-run with guys left in the box just yet. The only exception I make to that Game Over rule is when challenging the E4 and champion/Red. At that point, I figure it's all or nothing.

On Custom Rules
Hello distinguished Pokemon scholars, mystics, and enthusiasts. I come with a modest proposal.
Now as we all know NUZLOCH rules were designed to add a new challenge and incentivize the usage of new and different Pokemon on successive runs HOWEVER I have found that any challenge is easily mitigated by over-leveling and that your team will invariably center on the same pool of early-mid game Mons which prove able to conquer the middle gyms.
To remedy these glaring errors I propose AN AMMENDMENT be made to the Nuzlock rules:
>THE AVERAGE LEVEL OF YOUR TEAM (MEAN) SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AVERAGE LEVEL OF THE NEXT GYM LEADER YOU ARE TO FACE. IN ADDITION NO POKEMON ON YOUR TEAM MAY EXCEED 10% OF THE NEXT GYM LEADER'S HIGHEST POKEMON ROUNDING DOWN. THEREFORE FAULKNER (LV 13) YOU MAY HAVE A TEAM OF
>9
>14
>13
and
>14
>14
>12
>12
However you may NOT have teams of
>15
>11
>10
OR
>14
>13
>13
I solicit the following gentlemen to vote on the AMENDMENT as proposed, to offer council on the amendment of the text, or to introduce AMENDMENTs of their own

As two of those individuals quoted, I'd say that you have a very fair and balanced clause for interested parties to add, but that the math involved is a bit... well, involved. Furthermore, you fail to take party size into account, as a party of five L14s is quite a bit stronger than one of two L14s, but both have the same mean. As such, I hereby vote nay and encourage you to come back to us with an improved proposal, as the idea has a good deal of merit.

I think that putting it down to an exact level-to-mon ratio is a little demanding and tedious to perfectly achieve.

Personally I either limit my whole team to the gym/boss's middle level (i.e Byron's got a lv37 Magneton, lv38 Steelix and lv42 Bastiodon, so my team's levels as a whole should sit between 38-42)

I usually don't grind out to the point where winning is practically guaranteed and I try limiting healspam.

The only exception I make is for level-up moves or evolutions, i.e my Staravia was 2 levels from evolution by Maylene's gym and I just popped 2 rare candies for Staraptor and Close Combat - the win was practically already mine.

In addition, to the mean rule - some gyms I only ever needed 2 or 3 of the main team for, and I could bring down the mean with low-level boxmons,

i.e the 3 pokemon i'm actually using are all lv.55 (against a lv.46 enemy, hypothetically) and I drag the mean down with half the team full with a lv.6, lv.7, lv.8 etc.

Oh, using the next gym's mean level would be a better way of handling it thank you for the input.
>limit healspam
I typically just carry 10 of whatever potion / pokeball I'm currently using. Is THAT spam in your opinion? Also what are your thoughts on playing the gyms / rocket hideouts like the elite four (in so much as that you CANNOT leave to go to a pokecenter while inside
>>45973532
as for that I have a limit where pokemon don't count for lower than 10% either, so even if you bring a lv 1 to the champion it won't let you spend moar than an extra 5-6 levels on your other mons (but I usually play without HM slaves desu and just keep my party full)
Well, this is quite a lot to think on. I appreciate the feedback on gym leader's mean level that is better than using their highest level I will calculate the mean for my next play through.

I carry a metric fuckload of everything I need, usually because I moneygrind, i.e. I have easily 50 Super Potions, 30 Hyper Potions, 80+ Moomoo Milks, 40 Full Heals.

These are usually intended for staying on powerleveling runs (like when I hatched Riolu and had to catch it up 40 levels or so), and I NEVER go into a match expecting to healspam if I can afford to;

For example, against Candace, my strategy coming in was to use Tangrowth against Abomasnow and spam Double Team while waiting for Toxic to kill it, since I have no kill moves. Healing while I set up a few Double Teams is fair, but topping up health every turn I take Hail damage isn't.

Likewise, PP stalling a low PP move is a strategy for me, Candace's Froslass has 5PP Blizzard that I can't avoid, so I'll heal through those 5 attacks if I can and then move from there.

TL;DR only turn to healspamming as a last resort, keep your levels relatively fair, but carry a crapload of meds for grinding and healspam once in a blue moon.

I know for me I usually try to keep it to only being able to use as many items as the boss I'm fighting to keep it fair. For regular trainer fights though I just use whatever.

>>45973608
I think you could also throw in the Geodude line since it seems to come in clutch for many games.

>Magnemite
In my Leafgreen Nuzlocke, I actually managed to snag one, grind it up to level 65, and just smash the E4 with it, Snorlax, and Vaporeon. Absolute fucking beast of a Pokemon.

Also would you believe me if I said I've never used a Gyarados in any playthrough, Nuzlocke or otherwise?

First three Gyms down. Some of these guys are shaping up into real monsters.
I haven't been using Bulk much until I have a decent list of known Pokemon types, so there's no risk of him dying to stray Psychics. But whenever he's out he one-hits basically everything. Turnip and Zolt are more than carrying so far.

Sadly lost Stripes to Bugsy's Pichu, who had a nasty X-Scissor.
And even more sadly, Dutchman went down before I could see his true potential against Whitney.
Bitch had a Rhyperior, and while I was scrambling to figure out what type it was, it was setting up Acupunctures every turn. When it only spammed Vicegrip/Quick Attack I thought my ghosty bro was a safe switch in. But then it pulls out a Bubblebeam and OHKOs

No idea who to use in my last couple slots, most of my boxed Pokemon suck.
