Welp, Poor Qwark the greninja didn't do too well after gaining the dark typing. Absolutely demolished after a forced switch-in during the fairy gym leader battle. Rip in pieces.
However, his replacement in Zap the lanturn has been phenomenal. Absolute beast at tanking special attacks. Everything went smoothly until the rival battle before the psychic gym, where his absol sword dance+night slashed Rustle the Vileplume into another dimension. Ripperoni.
The replacement was Abomasnow purely because i love ice types, but he's not too bad actually. The only very close encounters i've had was the overleveled sword in the ice cave, and the exeggutor in the psychic gym.

I've only ever completed two nuzlockes (Crystal and Sapphire), thinking of trying BW with harder rules, how is the overall experience nuzlocking that game? I imagine having only ~140 mons available limits encounter variety to some degree.

Also, opinions on guaranteed encounters?
Like for example, there's always Drilburs on the dust clouds and you only get Litwicks in the first floor of the tower. I'm not sure myself how to feel about those kind of encounters in nuzlockes.

I always found it tough, but if you take advantage of the many good items in the game (like the Battle Subway) and the TMs you get early on (Flash, Thunder Wave) you'll be good.

Mom bought me a Choice Scarf just before the battle with Clair, which I slapped on Mei to allow her to outspeed and one-hit Gyarados. I switched in to Mio who took out both Dragonairs with Avalanche despite being para'd. My newly evolved Poliwrath (thanks Fisherman Tully) took on Kingdra and I used Thief to steal its Sitrus Berry, foolishly forgetting that Setsuna was already holding an item, and Setsuna was soon history after a crit Dragon Pulse. Mei fired off a few scarf'd Discharges and the Rising Badge was mine.

Here's the team to take on the Elite Four. It was going to feature a Gligar caught on route 45 but sadly its time was cut short by a Graveler's Selfdestruct.

Daaaamn completely forgot how absolutely bullshit Lysandres gyarados is. Annihilated Sway the Abomasnow with a single Iron Head... I'm gonna grind everyone on the team up to 52/53 when i'll fight him again next. Deliberately chose Goodra as a replacement since he's not gonna be weak to any of mega gyarados' attacks.
Other than that, there's just a lot of grindin to look forward to.

Donphan with sturdy will definitely be useful if you get him leveled. And no psychic moves for slowbro? Otherwise your team looks solid.

Here's my post-Flannery team, thanks to her bullshit coverage. Already accepted the L, but Mudkek fought with 9hp and outsped her Camerupt so we live another day.

Most deadfriends were killed by crit. The highlight was Waching(Ralts) who got FTKO'd by May's Swellow's Acrobatics crit at full hp, annihilating my dream Gallade in the process.

I was grinding up for the Crystal E4 in Victory Road and was blessed with this rare geode. Thank god it happened when it did, and not an earlier exploder, I never tossed a Master Ball so fast. I already have a fully trained Graveler but I'm debating on tagging him out for muh sparkles. I'll see what happens!

Other than that miracle, I'm almost ready to go. final team will be Typhlosion, Butterfree, Victreebel, Graveler, Slowbro and Dragonair going into the gauntlet. Slowbro is gonna be the MVP, gave him Ice Punch so he can take on everyone but Karen if I have to. Koga/Bruno should be nothing too crazy but I'm nervous about Will, Karen, and Lance is a wildcard. once everyone is level 48 (good midway between Will and Lance's levels before taking the exp I might get along the way into account) I'm going in

Captain missed two Mud Shots in a row against the Torkoal, who managed to get Body Slam paralysis and swept my guys. Tentacles, LouLou and Budgler II were underleveled, Monsieur unlucky, and Great Soap had no business standing up to a Fire-type.

Shall I try again with Sapphire, or with a different game?

Pick Chikorita so the rival takes Cyndaquil. Release or permabox Chikorita once you get your first catch, whether that be a Weedle or a Spinarak or whatever. Alternatively just edit the starters directly.

To anyone who ran ORAS/RRSS, how did you manage level caps for consecutive, hard battles?
I'm currently at the Weather Institute with this team and very doubtful I'd beat Shelly's Lv48 Jellicent without matching its level. I'm worried to overlevel past 50 because I don't have other mons to raise vs Winona.
Upcoming battles:
>Shelly 46/48
>May 47/49
>5 in-gym battles with three Lv45's each

Depends on how hard you want to make the run. Your nuzlocke your rules.
There's people who like to ban item usage and even limit pokecenter uses to a set number per city or something like that.

I generally don bother limiting pokecenters because it's too much of a nuisance to keep track and they're supposed to function like "checkpoints" anyways. But I'm considering limiting mid-battle items because they can be busted sometimes, specially since it allows you freely use sacrifices to heal your main guys back, and I feel like that hinders team building.
Also, personally I avoid stocking on potions in shops because I think doing so devalues exploration; you can find so much shit in the routes that you normally have no problems "living off the land", except for the League I guess.

If it's your first nuzlocke I'd say keep it simple and forget about that kind of limits so you can gauge how well you can handle the average challenge for future runs with more rules.
I do recommend always using some variation of the dupes clause though. I didn't feel like doing it for my first nuzlocke and I just ended up with 4 rattatas, 2 hoothoots, 3 zubats and 3 tentacools.

Sad to report that another run has ended early

Got through Will with no issues. Koga's first three Pokémon went down easy but his Crobat and Muk were a pain in the ass with their evasion. Having two poison types really helped me out and after a very long battle Koga was defeated and I still have no casualties. Didn't have many issues with Bruno either and I went into the Karen fight with my whole team still in tact.
After knocking out her Umbreon with Nat (Nidoking) at half health I elected to stay in against Houndoom, sadly this didn't work out as Houndoom's Flamethrower ended Nat. Mei (Ampharos) and Eve (Crobat) worked together to take Houndoom down but sadly Dodrio and Donphan had to be sacrificed in the process. Murkrow and Vileplume were no problem, Gengar was a big worry because of Destiny Bond (it still outsped Mei despite the choice scarf) but thankfully it didn't use it and the Elite Four was defeated, but with a heavy toll.

I moved onto the champion without much hope of defeating him, desperately feeding my remaining Pokémon (Crobat, Slowbro, Ampharos) all the supplements and rare candies I had in my bag but it was a lost cause. Scarf'd Mei took out Gyarados, but was soon killed by Dragonite #1's Outrage. Mio almost knocked out Dragonite while remaining at full health but Lance used Full Restore, Mio eventually got Dragonite down but lost a lot of HP in the process. Four straight Thunders from the next Dragonite ended Mio, Eve and my run.
>>47899264
Sturdy doesn't work in Gen 4 like it does in later gens, but Donphan still made a major contribution despite being underleveled, the biggest highlight of the elite four was when he somehow hit +6 evasion Crobat with two straight Rock Tombs

Started an emerald nuz with hardcore rules where I cannot change party members unless they die, and I get 1 teammate swap per gym badge.
I was pretty lucky to get a huge power marill so Roxanne was a piece of cake, walked in there with a level 13 marill and stomped her.
I would say my team is looking promising, I have answers for pretty much all upcoming fights besides Winona so far.

Lysandre was a pushover with Schlop the Goodra as the lead, and a team of lvl 53. The later routes in Kalos are crazy scary, especially Durants, holy shit they're strong. Ice gym didn't go too well, Zap the Lanturn got outsped by a mamoswine who earthquaked him to death. RIP, one of my top MVP's of the hole game. Rest of the ice gym got rolled by Chik the Heracross, outspeeding and punching everything.
Squish the Swalot got Squished on the next route to a trainer with a crazy strong sableye, but i'm not too sad since he was pretty shit.
The new team members in the form of Clink and Shuffle are going to be good replacements i think. Now it's victory road and then elite 4!

Previous drought in electric mons had been solved when I caught Willow(holding a bonus HA Amaura fossil) from the desert and Vermouth from New Mauville. Picked Anorith vs Lileep. Slaved Coheed so I can move around freely. Daycare'd both Swellow and Vullaby for posterity.

I beat my first Nuzlocke, but not without a casuality in the 11th hour. Rest in peace Dragonair, Lance had no right to crit you from full HP with Aero's Hyper Beam. There were some other scary moments at the end, Victreebel missed 3 Razor Leafs in a row and got crit, a Hitmonlee who had no business doing so well almost killed him, Graveler took a Crunch from Houndoom that almost killed it from full (and I'd have definitely lost another member too, Slowbro would die to that for sure). Overall, very fun, I'm not sure if I'm immediately going to handle the Kanto side or wait a bit. The rules were pretty standard for my first time, one allowance I did make was to use the Shiny I found (Graveler). Swapped it for the Graveler I'd already been using all run and took the time to grind her up, it was more of a handicap since even at a higher level it hadn't had the effort values of an entire journey with it, plus was too high up to keep Rock Throw so I had to chance a Rollout at the end, ended up beating Lance's final, Charizard, with it. Grinding the team up to 48 like I did felt about right, I think 46 would've been -fine- but I didn't have many good counters for Karen/Lance so some brute force was necessary. Thinking of using the Rocket Hideout Electrode as my new 6th slot, it can get Thunderbolt in Crystal.

Rest in peace:
SHUCKIE the Shuckle: Chuck had me pinned down and I couldn't keep my main party alive without a switch
Tentina the Tentacool: Same as above, Chuck was crazy this run
Furbs the Furret: critical self-destruct in the Rocket Mahogany Lair, full HP
Serpent the Dragonair: Crit Hyper Beam off Aerodactyl at the end.

Team: Embers the Typhlosion, Squirmy the Butterfree, Pucker the Victreebel, Yawn John the Slowbro, Serpent the Dragonair (fallen), and Gemstone the -shiny- Graveler (honorable mention to her counterpart Bouldy safe in the PC)

I beat Renegade Platinum bros... Overall a pretty smooth Elite 4 except for Aaron, where my carelessnes almost cost me the run. Defensive mons for the win.

Time to return to yellow I guess

My first nuzlocke was also Crystal, dunno why but it seems like a nice game to try out this challenge for the first time.

Opinions on using the free Volcarona in BW2?
People always say its moveset sucks for a while, but you can get Signal Beam right away and you're not far from the Psychic and Flamethrower TMs at that point.
This thing absolutely carried when I used it on my last vanilla run, so I'm considering if it's worth a ban for nuzlockes.

I feel like it’s borderline cheap but it’s fair game

took down olympia and the clapped team flare. the first lysandre fight was the toughest because i forgot to bring flygon. shouts to avalugg for being a great gyarados wall, very much underestimated it. wulfric and the league next.
>>47917848
it needs some babying early on but it's strong as hell. flamethrower TM is all the way in victory road so it'll be a bit. you can get heat wave in humilau though.

Right, I think I confused it with Fire Blast (Lacunosa town), it's been a while since I last played.
Point is I never had trouble finding moves for Volcarona in vanilla, and a 550 total stat at level 35 is really no joke.

No deaths yet in the TeamLocke! I had traded out two members and I think honestly this will be my final team unless maybe I drop azumarill for a different water type later on. Seems pretty solid, I'm getting really lucky with my team composition.
A recap of gyms
>huge power modest Sugar waltzes into Roxanne's gym underleveled like the gigachad she is and just puts her down
>Rosemary the absolute legend one shots Brawley's entire team with wing attack thanks to guts
>Pepper, that fucking beast, tanks a self destruct from electrode while taking it to 1% hp with a crit bite
>My fucking nigga Basil comes in and sets up to +4 then proceeds to toss Wattson's team like a salad
My starter hasn't been involved in a single gym battle funny enough. I think I'm going to try and let him sweep Daddy, but I'm a bit scared of the big monke...

Still can't believe Megaltaria was that squishy. Back to berry farming, I guess.

Also, what's your opinion on catching a Sweet Scent-er for swarm farming? Sounds fair enough?
