Attempting a RADICAL RED Nuzlocke.

Did 3 runs that all got deadstopped by Falkner. His Emolga is insanely strong.

Finally made it through Pewter City but I didn't want to lose that Geodude. However, thanks to their sacrifice, I was able to hold on to my Grubbin and get an Early Vikavolt with the thunderstone outside of Pewter.

You win some, you lose some. Fuck if this isn't a depressing defeat though
Final team - Abomasnow, Glaceon, Garchomp, Gallade, Drapion, Tangrowth
>Lorelei
Poliwrath, Politoed, Dracovish, Kingdra, Mega Swampert, Primal Kyogre. I thought that having two Ice types out for Poliwrath and the fact she could change the weather to rain would lure her to use her rain team, not her hail team, and thankfully I was right (and I had no plan for the ice team). Aboma and Glace lead, taking out Politoed before it can reset rain while setting Aurora Veil. Out comes Pert to just die along with Poliwrath. Primal Kyogre and Kingdra come out, I swap Glace out for Tang and Protect as Aboma kills the Kyogre with Giga Drains. Then, I just reset hail and kill the rest.
>Bruno
Infernape, Conkeldurr, Urshifu-Single, Kommo-o, Mega Lucario, Crowned Zacian. Lead Garchomp to take out the Ape, this baits in Conk for Ice Punch. I swap into Gallade, then spam Bulk Up and keeping healthy with Drain Punch. Then I kill his entire team, just had to dodge a crit from the Zacian.
>Agatha
Here's where the trouble started. Basically - she has a Scarfed Spectrier and a Mega Gengar. Drapion had to be healthy to switch into and take on both. The Spectrier got a fucking SpDef drop and TWO CRITS, so I had to improvise for Mega Gengar, namely, Garchomp. But then this meant I had to sack Abomasnow since part of my plan for her Marshadow was to get Rough Skin chip for Chomp and Chomp was too weak, and I had to sack Drapion against Silvally as it was by then my least useful mon.
>Lance
And with a 4v6 disadvantage, that's the run. That's Garchomp dead there by the way, I got him down to Megamence and Primal Dialga.

Disappointing, but eh. You really need solid setup or bulky mons for this E4 and there's just not a lot of those from Sinnoh. Maybe there was a better team I could have brought with my box, but I just didn't see it. Lorelei is too luck-reliant and Lance basically requires perfection.

I will say I think losing Torterra that early was a massive mistake, as it does get Shell Smash in this game and would have helped immensely versus Lorelei. But ah well
>>48327422
Entirely how you want to do it, some people take one mon the entire Wild Area, others differentiate by its subsections. Some people wear a blindfold/close their eyes and run around for OW encounters, others look up encounter tables and roll a die.
I also think however no matter what your encounter ruleset is to use some restrictive rules like no items, shift, no dynamax etc. for a more fun challenge

Wild Area is made up out of named sections. I'd say research the levels of those areas since catching is based on what gym you've cleared/Levels.

Jesus christ those teams look daunting. My luck has been really bad with Rivalry Luxios all 3 times on Route 2. I'm just hoping I can make it to celadon before having to face Misty.

I farmed a shit ton of nuggets off meowths to arm up for TMs. Because Early game movepools are fucking ASS against these AIs.

Fucking Roost, Air Slash, Shock Wave Emolga had me down to the red with my whole team.

I use the same strategy I used with Maylene, Wake, and Fantina in the battles with Byron and Candice. I start with some screen + Flash support from Ba'al, and then switch to my set-up sweeper of choice (Leviathan for Byron and Leonidas + Leviathan for Candice). The battle with Volkner was a straightforward brawl between his team and my Torterra and Alakazam.

Before I can enter the League, I have to fight Barry. His team goes down to Leviathan and Ba'al, the latter of the two actually fighting this time instead of pure support.

As per the usual; Flannery kills some of my team with fuckery. Also a fuck up from my end because I didn't even notice Woo not being level 27 before I threw him in. I'm usually pretty autistic about that. He picked up a King's Rock when entering the gym and I wanted to Flinch Torkoal to death. And my dreams of a champ!Spinda are dashed once more. At least I got a lucky crit with Mud Shot to end the battle :(

Was pretty sure that something would die here, but I dodge the crit rock throw from Geodude after Harden and one shot with Absorb. All I had to do was dodge another crit against Onix but it used Stealth Rock. TY for the throw. Onix was a 2 shot and Cranidos, that crited me with headbutt but when Beautifly was already full health, went down with 3 absorbs

Are you playing on Minimal Grinding? All you need to do is change a Luxio's nature to Jolly and get a bit lucky with Bite flinches on the Emolga and you'll win.
Also remember, you can't access Celadon until after Misty. You have opportunity for some good mons against her though, like Lanturn, Persian, Sunflora, Boltund, Volbeat, or even your own Vikavolt.

about to take on totem raticate. Ilima was't too much trouble, save for his porygon tracing delta's weak armor and having to speed tid between him and it. It also doesn't help that half my mons are not very bulky in special defense. hopefully the third hau fight will go smoothly.

the usual response is "whatever game you know best"
if you don't know any game in particular:
- you want an easier time to try and learn the ropes? go for frlg or xy
- do you think you're relatively decent at the game? go for emerald or platinum
- do you want to get your shit kicked in mercilessly? go for bw2's challenge mode or usum

Before facing the League, I make sure that Leonidas gets burned so it can get the Guts attack buff.

My initial strategy with Aaron (Ba'al Flash + Sawyer sweep) didn't go as planned, but Leviathan was able to finish off his team without any issues. I believe it was Mr. Nuzlocke himself who said "If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try again". I use the Ba'al and Sawyer duo once again with Bertha, but with actual success. Onto the infamous """fire specialist""". I was actually a bit worried about this one, but Flint's AI is stupid. After killing his Rapidash with Leviathan, he switches to his Lopunny which just allows me to set up Double Team and Barrier with zero consequences. ez match. Somehow, Lucian is even easier than Flint. Ba'al Flashes his Mr. Mime, which allows Beelzebub to come in and set up. ez match x 2.

I'm genuinely convinced that Cynthia's AI is bullshit, because after Flashing her Spiritomb three times and then switching to Leviathan who set up six Double Teams, she STILL managed to hit a little over half of her attacks. This applies to the Pokemon she switched to as well. The final match between our last two Pokemon (Milotic and Leviathan) was just PP stalling since I couldn't actually do much to her. After Leviathan ran out of PP, I switched to Beelzebub to take the Milotic out. Anti-climactic, but I took her down and became the champion. Onto the post-game.

Survived Norman, went a bit weird though. I started off with protect cheese on but it went nowhere so I brought in Zyzz when Slaking should heal. But he didn't heal and attacked for some reason. Zyzz finished off the Slaking, but Vigoroth got Zyzz in the red so i sent out Toad to kill it with Mach Punch. The final Slaking died due to a regular and critical Mach Punch.

For Winona I'm probably going to change up the team a bit because theres no way I dont go beyond level cap and half my team is weak to flying anyway

Breloom and Dustox were boxed for going over the cap. They carried me a bit. Machoke is useless against Winona so he's boxed too.

The B-team did its work perfectly. I poisoned Blue Blur before going in.

>Winona
Polaris took out Swellow in one hit. Altaria came in. I was willing to sack Polaris for chip so I used Spark while Altaria DD'd. I switched in Blue Blur on the EQ and while Altaria DD'd, Blue Blur took out Altaria with Facade. Same for Pelipper. Dynomax killed the Skarmory.

I think I'll keep KEK Leo instead of Machoke. Just to try him out.

Totem Raticate was tougher than I expected. Sending Charlotte out first seemed like the best choice, but bug bite didn't even bring it down to yellow health and it almost one shot her. Had to switch Ms. Asma and whittle its health away with poison, as it was running assurance. it also didn't help that i was getting quick attacked and tail whipped by the ally ratttata. On to the first ultra recon squad fight.

Guts Heracross killed both the Duskull and Haunter without any concerns, it also damaged Mismagius quite a bite before getting confused. I swapped Wormadan-Trashy and finished the job.

I SD once with hera while Burned and swept.
In the Great Marsh, I lost my only opportunity of catching Yanma(and by virtue of the nuzlocke, Skorupi as well) and with that happening it means that this is my team for the rest of the run. Im banking on Heracross and Scizor just carrying me through it.
>>48332430
I also thought of this possibility but only for Combee. Male Combee is useless and is basically a sack on the team. Male Salandit can solo the totem lurantis fight if you get lucky with the damage rolls (and if Lurantis call Castform over Trumbeak, which you can manipulate to). Good job on dealing with Winona without Ice Beam.

Run Update:

Goldenrod City has been liberated but not without sacrifice. Dr. Fate the Kadabra died near the end against Rocket Admin Ariana when I tried to switch him out for Nidoqueen, only for him to get hit by a critical Pursuit at full health.

I have no idea who to replace him with, maybe the Eggexcute in the Daycare.

Sad to say, but we have lost delta.
>Ultra Recon Squad Soliera
This fight was pretty easy if not a bit tedious thanks to her Furfrou's leftovers.
>Hau
Everything was going fine until pikachu came out. Before that I used berry to take out his swinub and thought that delta should be able to take the switch in from pikachu. i was dead wrong as was delta as he was one shot by electro ball. It now occured to me that a majority of my team have no fucking special defense, my best bet is to send out Ms. Asma and hope she can tank a hit. Thankfully pikachu decided to paralyze me instead using electro ball right off the bat, allowing me to badly poison him with poison fang. Then pikachu decided to reduce my health all the way down to 8 with a single electro ball. Thankfully para didn't proc and a poison fang plus poison was able to take it out. the rest of the fight was a complete cake walk. Now all thats left is hala, i'm a bit worried but I think I can beat him.

Yes and no. ultra moon is the only romhack i am currently doing right now, mostly because the base game is so easy and most battles can't even be considered battles (like Plumeria only having two pokemon in her two only battles, or guzma having the max of four)

Lost 2 real ones tackling Misty. I fucked up, forgetting that Grenadier had protean, so the AI wouldn't switch because it could just change typing.
I tried rolling a thunderpunch on it, looking to either KO it or kill Starmie (for Psyshock) on the switch, but Grenaider grass knot me (which hurt like a bitch with how heavy Hariyama is) and forced me to switch.
Overall I had to sack Hariyama to Lanturn after my Lanturn got hit by 2 crit bubblebeams their her lanturn WHILE IT WAS CONFUSED.

So two Soul Soldiers down, but now rushing through SS Anne so I can get to Celadon ASAP to evolve Kadabra, Haunter, and Elekid so I can have some strong tools. With cut I should be able to get to Celadon without any fights after I Rock Tunnel

Yes, Minimal Grinding. However I don't know if that means the AI still gets EVs, because it sure does feel like it.

Also is there an updated doc for the bosses? I got supposed the most up to date one, but seems outdate. Misty had a Lanturn that isn't in the excel sheet, same with how Falkners Emolga had Air Slash rather than Air cutter.

Did indeed try something different, going after Tate and Liza next. Their team - Gothita, Solosis, Lunatone, Solrock, Gallade. Easy enough, spammed Accelgor's Struggle Bug until unfortunately Gallade and Lunatone came out on the same turn, and they were a bit stronger than expected and did take down Accel. I don't really know how to read trainer docs for this game, so unfortunately I'm blind.
Not really sure how to take this game without any kind of restriction, it feels like I can just amass an army and destroy everything at any point. Also, I've noticed some of the event flags are weird, such as the Weather Institute guys thanking me for freeing them with Castform, or Steven already knowing me and talking about the Space Center getting taken over by Team Magma.

F. Pursuit really is the worst fucking move, you never really can find an opportunity for it but the opponents always make fantastic use of it
>>48335100
Think that's the first time I've ever seen someone describe USUM as easy lmao.
Remember that while a fight like Guzma does only have 4 mons they're all EV trained/near max IVs with great sets, and the totems and the like are pretty difficult for a nuzlocke
>>48335558
Universal Pokemon Randomizer should be the go-to, no?
>>48335696
RIP. Mega Drednaw is fun to use, too.
Yeah, they don't have EVs. It just feels jarring since they're exactly the same strength as you stat-wise + so much harder than the normal trainers.
I don't know if there's an excel spreadsheet with the updated bosses in 2.3a, but I personally just use LT's trainer data rip: https://gist.github.com/luckytyphlosion/346efcbdf84586bc57d8b998b9cba6b7

Anyway, the strategy of using only Heracross and Scizor so far has worked, all of the Barry fights is just Scizor setting up with SD + roost for the damage Straptor deals and then proceeding to one shot everything with either Bullet Punch or QA.

Hypnosis from Lunatone missed and Solrock survived the double and went for Sunny Day. Axel got swapped out for Drury because I feared for Solarbeam. KEK Leo faint attacked the Solrock again and Lunatone used Light Screen. Solrock gets healed. I set up a Light Screen with Drury and Faint Attacked the Solrock again. Lunatone and Solrock double psychic'd KEK Leo but due to Color change it didn't do much.

Drury gets hit by Flamethrower from Solrock, after which Solrock got downed by a Silver Wind. KEK Leo Faint attacked the Lunatone which did 0 since it used Calm Mind.

Lunatone killing Drury in a single psychic. RIP for my little killer moth. KEK Leo didnt hit for much.
Sun Ends.
Axel gets back in and Surfs Lunatone while Lunatone puts KEK Leo to sleep.

Axel hits for a Surf leaving Lunatone weak, KEK Leo wakes up turn one and finishes it.

What makes USUM so easy to me is that you get access to so many good mon's at the start of the game (munchlax, abra, mawile, sableye rockruff, gastly and buneary just to name a few). by the time you get to the fourth island, your team is more than able to take on guzma, (not taking into account which starter you chose).

Cleared Brawly, Norman and Wattson in that order. Thought Norman gives you Facade, he gives you False Swipe. Maybe he gives you Facade on one of his rematches, I'm not sure.
This game is a bit too much on the easy side for me and I'm not sure I like the open world aspect, it really does fuck a bit too much with the areas/natural flow of the game and the fact there are level caps/Audino makes me kind of just want to powerlevel after each gym and do a boss rush. I'm not going to do that, but still.
This feels like it would be a lot better on a 'normal' playthrough but my primal autism instincts make me want to minmax the fuck out of this game and play it like an asshole

Subs + SD + Bullet Punch from Scizor took care of her

I was really scared for this fight. If I get unlucky with crits I could get REALLY in trouble. Also, while I had to lead Hera for the quick EQ kill on Houndoom, I was hopping to see Honch after it since a Close Combat would kill. However Cyrus sent out Crobat. Wormadan took care of it but then Honch came out and I had to make a choice: Go for Hera expecting the Heat Wave (most likely choice) but risking the killing Drill Peck OR sack something so Hera could safely switch in. A decision was made: It was time for Combee do his job (it was also the right play cause Honch went for Drill Peck). Good night, sweet prince. Hera killed Honch, Scizor set up on Gyarados and killed both it and Weavile, defeating Cyrus.

>Aaron
Beautifly took out Yanmega wich Specs Air Cutter and then Scizor switch in against Vespiqueen. 3 SDs later and Aaron didnt stood a chance.
>Bertha
Again, 3 SDs with Scizor and bullet punch away for victory
>Flint
The fight I was most concerned of.... was completely SOLOed by Heracross with guts boosted EQ. It doesnt matter if its DP or Pt, Flint sucks.
>Lucian
Guts Boosted Hera took out Mr. Mime, Espeon and Zam with Shadow Claw, but with only 20 health left when Gallade came out, I switched in Wormadan and started the stall with Toxic - Subs - Protect. Lucian healed once with full restore but he couldnt break the stall. After killing it, Bronzong was the remaining pokemon and so I safely switched into Scizor and after 3 SDs a Brick Break was enough to kill it.
>Cynthia
it was, again, mostly Heracross. I had to set up one SD against Spiritomb but Psychic did 40 damage. I Slapped a Lefties on hera so it could heal off some of the burn damage. And then it started. Hera took out 5 of Cynthia's pokemon by her own, including the big momma shark. However, when Lucario came out at last, I was completely dead to extreme speed if I stayed so I switched over Scizor. 1 sd followed by a Brick Break took care of Lucario.
Heracross is by far the MVP of the run, altho scizor was essential for the rival fights.
this was a boring run. Both Hera and Scizor dominated most of the fights with Wormadan serving as a good pivot/staller, but I couldnt rely on half of my team most of the time. Also, with not being able to get an Yanma, I run the entire game with only 7 available pokemons, one of them being a sack.
Anyway, time for Black.

Have to say, not a fan of how this game did late game grinding, Wallace's ace was 90 yet most of the other league members hovered around 80. Also, past 80 the wild Audinos do not do jack shit.
In any case:
>Sidney
Extremely easy Klefki sweep.
>Phoebe
She has a scarfer, a Chandelure, and leads with Golurk, so no Klefki sweep here. Pretty easy fight on the whole, mostly had though her Mismagius got a bit too lucky with Shadow Ball/Moonblast stat drops. Hydreigon did most of the work.
>Glacia
Had a scarf Mamo to ensure Klefki couldn't sweep right off the bat. But once the Mamo went down the fight was trivial.
>Drake
Seems to be a running theme, but Klefki again couldn't sweep thanks to a Sash Haxorus and lead Flygon. So Azumarill did most of the work here, with Klefki taking out the Dragalge (who I think was Specs) and Mega Salamence.
>Wallace
Actually pretty difficult. Toxtricity, Hydreigon and surprisingly Galarian Darmanitan did most of the work here, the latter taking out his ace, Mega Swampert. It was here I actually learned Gorilla Tactics does not work but it allowed me to get off good damage on the Milotic so Toxtricity could kill.

Not a bad run, just annoyed at the weird structuring of the game and basically no strategy involved once I got Calm Mind and Klefki outside a handful of fights. Also, some of the Gen 8-centric bugs got extremely annoying (I couldn't teach Toxtricity/G-Darm any TMs - like, I couldn't teach Tox Toxic, even though he could learn it from the move relearner. Also, Obstagoon could learn Obstruct but the move does nothing because it doesn't work). Ah well.

I contemplated just going straight for Ghetsis right after this fight, but I wasn't confident I could beat him with one teammate missing. So, I pulled Iron Nelle the Lairon out of the box and level her up to match the team. Black Kyurem gets 2KOd by The Scoop before it charge its Freeze Shock attack.

>As Eelektross comes in, I have Popn Fresh use Protect to see what attack it will use.
>Eelektross chooses Flamethrower, so I switch Sand Serif the Flygon into another one.
>Sand Serif 2KOs with Dragon Claw, but almost gets killed by a crit Acrobatics in between.
>Hydreigon in next and uses Crunch as I swap in Iron Nelle the Aggron, getting a Defense drop from the attack.
>The foe misses a Dragon Rush as I boost Iron Nelle's speed with Autotomize.
>Iron Nelle 2KOs Hydreigon with Iron Head and makes the opponent flinch on the first hit.
>When Drapion comes out, I'm not sure if I can switch anyone in safely, so I have Iron Nelle stay and hit a Bulldoze.
>Drapion uses Earthquake and gets a crit.
>Iron Nelle is dead.
>Sand Serif finishes off Drapion with Dig and is able to OHKO Toxicroak with the same.

Only a little ways to go and a handful of encounters left. I'm hoping I can get something that can help deal with Iris's Haxorus. I'm not looking forward to facing that thing if I can make it there.

Vs Sabrina
>Espeon
Starly sets up Rain Dance, but Espeon hits it with Sand-Attack. Due to her Heroic personality, Starly can't switch out until Espeon goes down now.
Surf misses, and Starly gets nailed with Psychic. The next Surf hits, and Espeon uses another Sand-Attack. It goes down to one more Surf.
>Mr. Mime
I make a mistake here and have Starly stay in to use the Rain.
Surf misses, and Mime hits a Psychic.
Starly Recovers, and Mime sets up Reflect.
I set Rain Dance back up, Mime uses another Psychic.
Surf misses, another Psychic.
The next one hits, as does the Psychic.
Mime is left in the red, so I use Recover since Sabrina might heal Mime. She doesn't and just used Psychic again.
Surf misses, another Psychic, and Rain fades.
Starly Recovers again, Mime continues as before.
Once again, I set up Rain, and Mime keeps doing the same thing.
Surf finally hits home, taking the Mime out. Starly reaches Level 47.
>Alakazam
Once again, I leave Starly in to use the Rain.
But she misses two Surfs in a row, and Alakazam first sets up a Light Screen, and then locks Starly in by getting a Special Defense drop on its Psychic.
At this point, I decide to Recover. I hope for Zam to use a different move than Psychic now, because I can't beat it if it doesn't- Starly can't KO it fast enough to not need healing, but also has to Attack at some point. A second Special drop seals Starly's fate- she will have to go out swinging. She gets a Surf in on Alakazam, then falls to Psychic.
In comes Poseidon, who hits Alakazam with Surf after it recovers, putting it in the red. Sabrina uses a Hyper Potion, but Surf brings it back down below half.
Alakazam tries another Psychic, but the jig is up and it falls to Surf.
After this fight, and my break, I've been going on a catching spree. Also, I actually caught the last 4 mons in the update pic inbetween Surge and Sabrina, but I didn't feel like making separate update images.

We made it to Blackthorn City.

Terrible news though: Nidoqueen died to a critical Magnitude 9 from a Graveler when we were exploring Union Cave, so now I need to train another member.

Speaking of, I got Eevee to replace my Kadabra to be either Flareon or Espeon. I was thinking maybe I can replace Nidoqueen with the Gligar I got. With my previous post, anyone else I should replace her with if not Gligar?

Then, I used Growth, Herdier hit a Take Down, however, on the third turn I get the acc drop with the Leaf Tornado and Herdier procceds to miss 3 TAKE DOWN IN A ROW. Whatchog used Hypnosis (chesto berry) instead of Retaliate and I got the W. Extremely lucky count: 1.
>Burgh
The Venipede didnt poison me at all with Poison tail and after leech seed and some growths, my second cut Critted and killed it instead of going to the heal zone. Mega Drain took care of Dwebble and then Leavanny went with STRING SHOT and then Protect. It never used Struggle bug I used cut once so I could switch in Leavanny and use Bug Bite to kill it. Extremely Lucky count: 2, AI Throwing count: 2.
>all the Cheren fights
It was basically Cheren throwing, specially the desert route fight. Pidove used air cutter once, didnt crit, and then it kept using roost to heal off the Leech Seed + sandstorm damage. I racked up a total of 6 growths, which was enough to one shot it and 2 shot the Pignite.
>Elesa
the only one where I didnt bank on RNG or AI throwing. Servine lead for the Leech Seed + Reflect combo, then switch into Simisage, work up twice and then one shot both the emolgas with Rock Tomb and Zebriska with Dig.
Hopefully now that I can get foongus and then Ferroseed after Clay things start to get better.

Hopefully this will be a bit more fun. A snaplocke is a variant made by the nuzlocke discord server (not a place I find pleasant, but occasionally there's some good resources there) where:
>you must have a full team for each gym
>after the battle, half the surviving team is killed, decided by dice roll (hence the "snap", it's like Thanos)
>snaplocke+ is a variant where a roll is done individually on every member of the team
>also notepad clause, which prevents me from boxing anything until it dies
And then standard hardcore rules.
>>48342738
Some real old heads coming back.
Perhaps you could use Priscilla or Bartleby in the PC there to try and para/burn the Haxorus? Alternatively if you can kill it in one hit, Iris will usually heal after you hit it to its Sash. Or you could find a way to setup beforehand with Heracross or the like

>>48345319
Yeah, it doesn't open until after Erika and the move tutors aren't until after Silph Giovanni.
That said, now you have a bunch of new routes/dens open, evo items, and the hidden ability changer so it was still a good idea. I personally did it everytime I ran RR

We dont need to worry anymore, the savior of this run arrived. He is still not in his final form, but soon will be there. Ferroseed joins the ranks, and together with Servine and Foongus, will be my future stall core and maybe key to winning this run.
>Clay
Finally an easy gym. Servine as a lead just for the safety leech seed + reflect combo and then Simisage for the sweep.
>Skyla
Would be by far the hardest fight in the run but fortunately we got the OP Ferroseed in chargestone. Again, Servine usual leech seed + reflect lead helped Ferro easily set up 6 Curses and sweep with gyro ball.
Brycen might be annoying to deal with because of the crit thing but I do think eviolite Ferro can solo that.

Despero cleared up Roark nicely, setting up 6 Defense Curls and 3 Rock Polishes right in his lead Nosepass's face as he could not touch me with any attacks before sweeping his team with Bulldoze. After the battle, the RNGods smiled upon me and only killed one of my party.
I don't know how to treat it if my entire party gets killed thanks to the snaps, I believe according to the 'rules' it is a wipe, but that sounds fucking stupid, so I'll probably just go immediately catch any new mons I can get before sending everything to the box.

Well that is good to know. That will help me optimize fighting Surge as I can make my Iron fist Electrivire into Motor Drive for full immunity switch strats with gyrados and lanturn.

However I am completely baffled by the learnsets in this fucking game. Newer mon seem like that they have their Gen VIII learnsets, but older mon don't?

Move relearner couldn't reteach things to Gyrados that he CAN learn in VIII, the reminder implies that his learnset is set to Sun and Moon?
I just want to learn Waterfall because NONE of the other physical moves it can learn (flip turn, liquidation, etc) AND THERE IS NO WATERFALL HM/TM FOR SOME REASON which means Gyrados is fucked with inaccurate Aqua Tail.
How can they cuck any physical watermon that can't learn liquidation like this?

Gardenia was literally zero issue, but the RNGods were far more sadistic this time, taking half my team to the grave.
Got thru Jupiter with a bit of effort, mostly a hair pull over Mr. X landing a HJK on her Skuntank thanks to it critting on me switching it in. Why can it not learn Dig? Fucking dumb.

>>48349177
>Newer mon seem like that they have their Gen VIII learnsets
Learnsets were shuffled around for balance purposes, for instance a lot of early game mons got better moves. I guess Gyarados doesn't get Waterfall at 21 to make a few of the early game bosses like Bugsy harder.
GL for Surge!

It might not be a 'true' autismlocke if you can't do anything past BW2 but you can still call it that and it'll still be a fun accomplishment. Nobody here is a stickler for rules.

Regarding enjoying pokemon games again I feel that, the games've been too easy for me nowadays and who knows maybe a nuzlocke or some shit will make em harder.

I ended up getting burnt out playing Rejuvenation on Intense Mode, if that tells you anything.
Considering either just playing BW/BW2 or trying some manner of a more difficult hack. Alternatively if I'm really feeling the CBT, Reborn exists.

Everything completed to the Saturn tag battle at the Backlot Mansion.
Mira, the opposite gender rival (I'm playing as a girl, so Lucas), and Aaron were all easy. The trouble started with Fantina. My team for her was frankly awful, I seriously considered killing something deliberately to try and get a better replacement. But I made it work.
Her team - Drifblim, Dusclops, Gengar, Banette, Spiritomb, Mismagius. Mr. X had to lead and kill the Drifblim, I reasoned with a Bulk Up, this would be a really good shot (if he low rolled, he'd activate the Drifblim's Starf Berry/Unburden and it could easily rip my team apart or Baton Pass to Mismagius who could do it better). I did succeed, with a crit from Psycho Cut no less. Then this lured Dusclops out, as it had a supereffective move on me and it was the second slotted mon, and Dusclops, because it is weak and has bad moves, was the perfect mon to setup on. Anton Arcane came out to Sub+Swords Dance, using Synthesis to keep healthy, then killed Dusclops and Gengar with Aerial Aces. Banette trolled me with Sucker Punches however, and by the time Spiritomb came out I was too weak to kill it or live its Dark Pulse. Sadly, I had to sack Anton to position better against Mismagius.
I sent in Nekron to kill off the Spiritomb, then used Spore against Mismagius as the stupid fuck just used Calm Mind, not Power Gem. Then two Seed Bombs killed it. Unfortunately I wasn't done getting fucked in the ass and half my team was killed on top of Anton. So that's real nice.
After rebuilding, the Saturn tag fight went smoothly largely thanks to Dr. Poison and Barry not screwing up, and Barry himself was a joke.
>>48351016
Rejuvenation Intense is on the really extreme end of things, yeah.
Well, try running through BW2 Challenge mode as a nuzlocke then (I don't really like BW as a nuz, but you can try that too). I wouldn't recommend nuzlocking Reborn until you have a better handle on things.

Maylene down. Again, my team was just not good for her.
Team - Medicham, Gallade, Infernape, Machamp, Toxicroak, Lucario. My Plan A was to lead Mr. X, get up Reflect and spam Bulk Up in her Medicham's face with Lefties recovery and dodge some crits, Sub so her Lucario couldn't revenge me, hit it to its Sash, then follow up with another hit to kill as she healed. And that worked out great. Then her Infernape killed me with critical Fire Punch. :(
My Plan B was Black Mask wielding a Life Orb and ripping through her team with Wing Attack, however this would only work if her Machamp was dead as I could not oneshot that without a crit while it could kill me very easily, and Medicham only managed to take down Medicham, Gallade and Lucario. In hindsight, I probably should have sacked Maestro given Crasher fuckin Wake is the next major boss, but I was tilted from Mr. X's death and wasn't thinking straight so Black Mask unfortunately joined his buddy. Ultron finished the battle.
RNG was both good and bad, only one death in Malekith, but that's a big death considering what's to come. Need to plan out which area I should go for next, but I'll likely go back and grab a Grass type starter from one of the starting towns.

Well shit, I didn't play that well.
I had been delaying continuing for a few days because I know this fight would suck and it did, fighting a boss Giratina with two boss shields with terrain boosts sucks, and barely living that with Revy just to go into a doubles battle against a Team Xen exec sucks too.
On these super long nuzlockes I don't consider whiteouts run losses because of how long it takes to catch back up to this point but even now I don't know how I can make a team out of what I have.
And the worst part is I don't know if I'll have to fight just Geara or him and the Giratina again, if it's the latter I might take a few days off and start from scratch.
Team suggestions are welcome.
Either way, I'm holding this loss.

Yeah Rejuvenation causes pretty bad burnout, even for me on normal it gets rough right around Goldenleaf.
>if I'm really feeling the CBT, Reborn exists.
I did this last year and it was a great time, just a huge time investment, more manageable than Rejuvenation, to me at least, though I'm playing with lenient rules so who am I to say.

Shame that grass is special and Breloom's fighting move pool is low in that game but, I have to imagine that's still pretty strong.

(forgot to post here before starting the league, my bad)
So I lost Simisage to the Rival's Emboar which has been the most annoying mon to deal with this entire run.
Anyway, after catching the Virizion I was undecided about using it. I came to the decision of not using for the 4 members, but if something die against them I was then allowed to use it for the N and Ghetsis' fights.
The whole strat on this league was this: Set up Leech Seed + a Screen with Caesar and swap to a sweeper(Snake strat). The only time I didnt lead Serperior was against Marshall. Will go in detail now.
>Marshall
Maractus lead, put up Sunny Day ( i could live a crit Stone Edge but it went for Bulldoze, still outspeed at -1) and then Grass Gem Solar Beam took care of it. The rest of Marshall was me Swapping between Serperior - Amoonguss - Ferrothorn (my so called Stall core). Marshall was not able to break my walls and was defeated.
>Caitlyn
Snake strat to Leavanny, SD once and then Sweep with X-Scissor
>Grimsley
Same with above, only had to use Ferrothorn to deal with Bisharp tho.
>Shantaul
Snake + Leavanny again.
Ok, members done, time for the big bosses.
>N
Zekrom couldnt do shit to Serperior so Snake Strat to Leavanny again was the play. Cobb took out 4 of N's pokemons with a +4 atk and dual screen. Ferrothorn took out the Sturdy Carracosta and Klinklang
>Ghetsis
Since cofagrigus is a set up fodder, Snake strat + Leavanny was the play for the 4th and last time. With a Pecha berry to heal of poison, I could safely go +4 and sweep the rest of ghetsis team. Bisharp was the last mon standing and, afraid of it living a X-Scissor (I knew it wouldnt) I went to the safe play and Ferrothorn ended the battle. GG
The most LUCK based run I ever had. Even tho Leavanny ABSOLUTELY obliterated the pokemon league, nothing would be possible without Serperior, so it is the MVP of the run.
Now is time for Fighting type in White.

Pastoria Barry fight went well except for his Heracross living on a fucking MILLIMETER of HP from Ultron's max SpA 2 level advantage Life Orb Psychic and killing back. I cannot afford to bleed mons, especially good ones, over stupid shit.
Wake himself was kind of another disaster, sensing a theme with these gyms. I tried having Belasco stall out his Quagsire of actual attacks, particularly Ice Punch, so Omega Red could set up and set up Sub. The fucker has a built in Scope Lens though and got like a fucking dozen crits, including an EQ that brought Omega to 10 HP, so I had to go for the sweep early. Omega actually got pretty far before being stopped dead by Wake's Sash Sharpedo that I needed the Sub for. Brainiac cleaned the rest.
Of course afterwards I receive another hard kick to the balls and have half my team killed again. Shoutouts to Maestro who did absolutely nothing this entire run except waste a slot on my team and then get killed before he could actually be kind of useful against, you know, Darach's Entei, the upcoming Metagross's or Byron. Still have a lot of encounters left, but I am starting to get a bit nervous.

>Sad to see you lose so late in RR
Yeah, it happens. I think my next run will be Mono-Water Hardcore in RR if it is that, may sound harder but in some ways it might actually be easier.
So you're coming up on Narcissa/Ren I think? Would probably go for Alolan Persian, Noctowl, Pangoro, etc. Kind of like Raichu/Boltund/Pyroar for Ren's Corviknight/Frogadier, Noctowl for the Cacturne, maybe Quagsire for the Arcanine? Alternatively maybe Banette if you have enough Rare Candies (max Speed should maybe outspeed some stuff on Narcissa's team?), can't think of much else but I am a bit tired. You'll also need plenty of Flash users.
One thing you can do is a strat called pre-sleep - essentially, sleep turns have a counter that lasts between battles. So you can have a mon put to sleep, save, figure out when it wakes up, reset, then ensure it wakes up turn 1 in an actual boss fight. You can then combine this with a Magical Seed which gives you a buff in both defenses but is supposed to burn you, only it can't burn you if you start the fight asleep.
>>48354577

Gyarados kind of sucks in RSE, just be warned. I think Tentacool can actually learn some water moves though, if Azumarill can't just solo the gym itself

Wow I've never even considered this, could be really useful so as to not have to waste a turn on healing a burn while still getting defensive buffs, I had been considering Noctowl, Boltund, Pyroar and Persian, I'll definitely consider everything you've suggesting, thanks
I remember flash being useful, will have to sort of reach a situation where I can nullify the field and not get hit by spectral scream which'll set the field back up, see how I'll play with that.

Leviathan one-shots Heatran. The first battle with Barry had a lot of hax bullshit. He was getting paras, crits, freezes, etc. I managed to pull through regardless. I won't be doing the final fight with Barry, as it requires me to beat the Elite Four twenty times. The last battle of the run is with Giritina. I send out Leviathan, who is equipped with an Icicle PLate. I manage to get a freeze on my first Ice Beam, which allows me to take out the Giritina in three shots.

Also, Flash actually just obliterates the field in v13, it doesn't change to the Blessed Field. So she can't reset it with Spectral Scream, but the Haunted Field returns after 3 turns. Still useful, but yeah you'll just have to figure out how to time it.

Again, another really SCUFFED early game. The Cheren fight in the Trainer's School left Tepig at 2 health at the end of it and the blue hair gym leader guy Tepig ended with 3 (again the Lilipup did nothing but Work Up).
However after this, different of what Black was, the game started to get easier. Getting Sawk (5% Shaking Grass) was planned, however the -atk nature sucks (the +speed is the best case on a bad scenario kinda deal).

Sawk Work Up twice and one shot both the Herdier and the Watchog.

Started a Blaze Black nuzlocke, so far its been kicking my ass at every turn. Deaths to rivals, every gym leader and even a few random trainers.
Actually had a decent setup going into Elesa though, setup agility/baton pass on the Emolga with Lopunny then went to Gardevoir. The Emolga U-Turned into Ampharos who proceeded to spam Cotton Guard (???) so I got 3 free calm minds off and swept. To be fair, I was due an easy battle at some point. No doubt going to driftveil i'm gonna lose a lot of good mons.

Norman's gym was more of a threat than he was. I was stupid and forgot type matchups and lost Take. And got unlucky with a double edge and lost T.K. I was afraid I would lose another pokemon considering I lost 2/3 of my fighting types, but Ferrus with the high defense ended up taking care of norman's whole team. I'm worried about the next gym leader, Winona though. I don't really have any counters yet.

Long hiatus because I've been sick the last week, but I brute forced Norman mostly with Sableye cheesing the Slakings.

Winona was a pain in the ass, once the opening Swablu was out I let Pelipper set up stockpikes to take on the remainder of her team barring Altaria. I'd have probably resorted to item spam if I didn't get a crit Surf and luck with Confusion. The AI seemed to only want to dragon dance when I was under paralysis I noticed, switching helped mitigate it some.

I always seem to burn out around the 6th badge in Gen 3 despite liking it. Getting an earlier Shuppet let me get pretty fortunate with a Chimecho though, so I'm going to try it out, probably make it a waller with yawn. It might get my toxic TM if I don't end up using Skarmory.

At this point it might be better to go for a Walrein or something, retire Pelipper and bring Skarmory in. Going to wait and see

Ice Beam solo by Axel. Altaria wouldn't die in one hit and hit off a crit Dragon Breath, but that was it.

>Steven
Dynomax took out Skarm in one hit. Aggron came out and got oneshot by Duckface, who got EQ'd. A two shot on Armaldo ended that, but Duckface was in critical condition.
Ricky Rith v. Cradily was a war off attrition with Metal Claw vs. Ancient Power until Cradily got off the Boost. For some reason Steven didn't heal Cradily even though it was +1 in everything and yellow Health. I sent in Axel who easily survived and took out Cradily with an Ice Beam. Axel double shot Claydoll's.

Axel didn't oneshot with EQ, but he survived a crit psychic with 11hp left. One last EQ and this run is over.

Next section of the game is why I can't agree with anyone who claims RP is an easier Dray hack. Tons of hard, varied bosses, tons of Ace Trainers with custom movesets I can't prepare for, etc. I have no idea who hurt Dray when he made this part. At least I got good captures.

Took out lead Zam with Neron to bait in his Vaporeon, Sleep Powder'd it with Brainiac, set up with Psimon's CM/Disable/Recover combo then took out his team.

Psimon beat Crobat and Honchkrow, Neron beat Weavile and Magnezone.
>Darach
Swapped between Belasco and Neron to drain his lead Gallade of Close Combats, then set up 2 Nasty Plots with Neron (using Lefties + Protect to stay healthy so his priority users like Entei or Empoleon wouldn't try anything) and swept. Unfortunately his last mon Alakazam got a high speed nature (it's randomly picked) and killed Neron, that's a 10% chance with Focus Blast hitting too, so fuck. Psimon revenged.

So you can see the 'official' reason is the dev getting sick of git gud autists, but I have heard his Twitter DMs/Tumblr got swamped with assholes calling for his head.
Another big thing is that the main dev is not the one who actually makes Intense mode teams, it's another dev who's apparently making a Reborn difficulty mod. So I'm guessing the main dev just wanted to cut the baggage off and hand it off to the 'difficulty' guy. If the community made Intense mod is literally just what Intense has always been I'd be happy to nuzlocke it, but I'll just wait to see.

Made it past Geara, but at a cost, things are looking rough and burnout plus real-life physical fatigue are hitting me real bad.
I could go back to the game corner for either a Maractus or Helioptile, risk doing a quest against difficult stuff for a Zubat, otherwise what I have in the box is all I have until after the gym.

Saturn got Per Degaton off me expecting Sucker Punch, have no idea why he didn't go for it especially as I had an Alakazam out. But he and Mars were otherwise easy. Ma'alafa'ak killed Candice's lead Abomasnow, she sent in Walrein, then Barracuda set up Dragon Dances and swept. Then another perfectly balanced massacre.
The true hardest enemies of this section, the double Ace Trainer battle outside Snowpoint Temple, went shockingly well. Took down the non-Blissey half of the team with Psimon/Ma'ala, then sent out Barracuda to DD up and sweep the other half.
Just one more gym before I can go get Garchomp and Gyarados and legendaries and whatever the hell, but Cyrus and the double admin fight on Spear Pillar is going to be really fucking hard.

Don't kill yourself, man. If you don't find it fun it might be prudent to try something else to get yourself back in the mood.
If you do continue, definitely go get Helioptile. I don't know if you're using a guide, but there's a hidden Sun Stone in Phasial Cave.

It's mostly to prevent me from optimizing my team in such a way so that I only bring the two, maybe three mons I know that can defeat a gym so those are only on the chopping block. It also prevents me from grabbing stuff like Garchomp or Manaphy or Blissey early, destroying the between-gym sections (which are often harder than the gym themselves, especially between Crasher Wake/Byron), and then readjusting when I get to the next gym so they always stay alive.
I think the way the nuzlocke discord makes the clause is that "you can catch stuff and have it in your box, you just can't add it to the team unless something dies" but personally I find that lame, it feels like too much of a safety cushion and RP already gives you one in the form of its many gift mons.

1 work up + the swagger from Krokorok (persim berry) was enough for me to sweep Clay
>Skyla
The Gym I was most worried about.
The strat: Eviolite Pignite so survive the Acrobatics and Will-O. Then the switch to quick claw Scraggy so I could get at least 1 sand-attack (I got two because the Quick claw procced the first turn and Swoobat instantly missed the Acrobatics). And then Sawk would come in and Bulk Up twice and win with return (it outspeeds her entire team). It was a really close call because had will-o missed I was in range for a 2 shot with Pignite. Also, thankfully Swoobat didnt crit once.

I wasn't expecting to make it past Narcissa, let alone Ren, so this happening at all has me grinning like a motherfucker.
I had forgotten the gym had ghost type encounters and happened myself upon a Banette.
The Ren fight was surprisingly easy, most things got outsped and disposed of without a sweat.
Narcissa went down only because of how easy it was to manipulate her AI into doing what I wanted it to, it kept telling her to use ghost moves which would work on the terrain against Pariah, only for Pariah to use flash and get rid of the terrain, and then slowly chip away at the opponent.
Her Mimikyu and Mismagius were handled by Padded thanks to nuzzle and strong jaw crunch, but Dusclops sadly took him out with boosted night shade.
Leaving Eris to clean up the scraps, but died so I could get a clean switch-in to Exhaust for the shadow sneak kill.
I know the segment coming up after this changed a lot since last version, so I don't really know what to expect.
>>48361044
Don't know why it took me so long to catch onto the comic book character name theme, feeling pretty dumb about that, it's brutal to see how much you've lost to snaps alone but, huge props to making it through an already difficult game with that condition.
>If you don't find it fun it might be prudent to try something else to get yourself back in the mood.
This is something I always try to keep in mind regardless of what I'm doing, no point in forcing myself to play, thanks for reminding me.

Grabbing Milotic this early MIGHT not be the best play but I can catch Suicune and Manaphy, so we'll see.
>Cyrus 1
Technically 2, but whatever. Lead Blanque on his Banded Crobat, swap to Scarecrow, set up Rock Polishes and a Sub then sweep.
>Saturn
Lead Nefaria, set up Curses, then go to town. Octillery stops me, and I decide to let Nefaria live as a potential sack against the double admins/Cyrus, so I swap Psimon to kill, then Blanque to Recover through his Magmortar's Fire Blasts before killing.
>Mars/Jupiter
It turns out Ma'alefa'ak is referred to with the pseudonym 'Malefic', my bad. Shame, I liked the first better but I guess the second does sound more evil.
Anyway, Malefic absolutely destroyed this. Scarf Adaptability Eruption is a goddamn dream. Jupiter tried sending out her Gastrodon early but thankfully Barry killed it after I softened it up. After Malefic's rampage was over, Mars had one mon, Purugly, and Jupiter had two, Skuntank and Tangrowth - basically nothing that could touch Scarecrow behind a Sub. I let Barry clean up.

Nim was a huge problem for me for a while, I just couldn't find anything that really hard countered her team. And are forced losses counted as a wipe or?

Oh shit even fucking Madelis will be a problem, and Emma in Blacksteeple Castle...
Wait, if the game swaps to another character is their team under the same rules, or do you just not count them?

I've only made it past Blacksteeple, but I've heard that there's some cases where you can give other characters your team at the cost of making some battles more difficult... will you go for that? Jesus there's a lot to this fucking game.

Split into two parts.
First is Dialga/Palkia. I lead Blanque/Nefaria, Blanque takes down Palkia in two Moonblasts while Nefaria draws fire with Protect and Amnesia. Then I take down Dialga with Moonblasts and Superpowers.
Second is literally just a repeat of the hideout Cyrus fight, except he added a Gyarados, literally the exact same thing. It's funny a powerful genius like Cyrus in-universe gets his asshole cleaned by Aggron, then changes nothing about his team so that same Aggron rolls over him again next major fight.
>Volkner
Just played very aggressively. Apocalypse went down early thanks to bullshit, Nefaria killed half his team before going down with Wacan Berry SD Aqua Jet, Blanque and Malefic killed the other half thanks to horrible AI.
No deaths to the snaps after this fight! Amazing. Unfortunately, most of these mons will likely die before the League either due to Victory Road or me changing out for stronger stuff.

Doing a No Evo Run in HGSS.

I've gave myself a pretty solid team which makes the early game rather trivial however once I progress the tables start turning rather fast. I've done a run like this before however I didn't want to use what Johto offers up on the early routes.

I gave them an Egg Move as well which is mainly for some added coverage. I feel like for now it'll go smoothly however I just gotta say its fun. Hopefully I don't hit a wall anytime soon.

Victory Road cleared. Thankfully, if you're careful, you only need to fight about 3 particularly dangerous trainers total, not counting the bosses. Psimon was unfortunately killed on one of them.
>Marley
Joker killed her lead Starmie, sent out Thanos on Arcanine, DD up and win.
>Lucas
Joker killed his lead Alakazam, sent out Thanos on Granbull, DD up and win.
>Barry
Joker baited his lead Staraptor to be Choice Scarf locked into Close Combat as I swapped to Thanos, DD up and win.
For that one anon earlier wondering why Notepad Clause was necessary, this is why. League time.
Kind of don't want to deliberately kill anything for the challenge, but I also don't want to lose, so Libra and maybe Joker are getting axed. Not quite sure yet about Scarecrow, but the fact he doesn't get any boosting moves and only really checks specific stuff makes me hesitant, especially when there's an Empoleon or Registeel I can go grab right now that do what he does better.

Terrakion was the only option since it was the only mon that could One shot Reshiram (with rock gem), and it did. It killed a total of 4 of N's team members. Throh killed Carracosta and the Klinklang.

Now, this fight was pure BS in the beginning. Since i needed the rock gem for reshiram, no pecha berry for Terrakion, Still, Ghetsis got two protect in a row, which made terrakion almost at half when it killed the coffin. Terrakion also one shot both the Hydreigon and the bouffalant, but with only 25 hp left because of the toxic, Sawk was my switch against Seismitoad. After one shotting with boosted CC, Eelektross came out and I realized that my plan to use terrakion to take it out wouldnt work. After a lot of calcing and deliberation, I Decided to risk the Bulk Up that would put me in range to anything that it wasnt Acrobatics. And it fucking worked. Eelektross went for Wild Charge and Sawk survived with 5 hp. CC was a kill next turn. I brought up Mienshao against Bisharp because of Sucker Punch just to remember that it doesnt run Sucker punch. Anyway, GG. White is done after a really scuffed Ghetsis fight.

3 words: Choice Scarf Eruption
Though he could've posed a problem, as the team he had (E4 members have 4 members they randomly pick from) had a Focus Sash Beautifly that could have been problematic had he sent it out before Drapion, but thanks to Drapion having EQ it would always come out first against Malefic
>Bertha
She either leads Hippowdon or Ttar, I lead Thanos and swapped into Lex Luthor to set up a Rock Polish/Curse sweep with Seed Bomb, easy. Only problem was a potential team with Focus Sash Camerupt so I had Sub for that.
>Flint
This was irritating. 3 of his teams were easy enough, but one led with Wild Charge Rapidash in a team reminiscent of his D/P "fire" team, so I had to make a backup plan for that. Thankfully, he had the Torkoal lead team, easily his shittiest one. Thanos led, set rain, set DDs, set Subs, then sent his team to meet Lady Death
>Lucian
First real fight, kinda. AKA the reason I kept Joker alive. He led the Alakazam team, literally the worst one. I had to Sash Joker just for this as Zam itself was Sashed. Took down Zam, got Gallade to red, then brought out Malefic to revenge. This lured in Starmie, so I swapped Thanos then Lex to bait Tbolt, Lex's Yache Berry permitted him to live Ice Beam to kill (had to risk a crit here), then I could get Malefic back in to kill the rest of the team. Sloppy.

Wish I could have some clever strat to pull, but nah. I lead Dr. Doom and if she led Clefable or Togekiss I won barring absurd crit luck. If she led Spiritomb I would kill it with Blanque before going Dr. Doom on Roserade.
But she ended up going with the Milotic lead team. So, very fittingly, Thanos got to come in one last time, put on his Infinity Gauntlet and set up right in its face (I had respec'd his EVs slightly using berries/Zincs beforehand in case this happened to live a lot of hits from this Milotic, though I was admittedly risking freeze/crits when my Sub wasn't up), and snapped her team into oblivion.

Well this run certainly took a turn for the worse. Lenora was a bit of a massacre but through some quick thinking I managed to damage Watchog enough to where I could swap into Pidove and Quick Attack.

Unfortunately I had to sack Blitzle to pull this off.

Thanks. Lenora is probably the hardest boss in the game other than Elesa/Ghetsis, once you get past Burgh you'll be in a much better position.
>>48366450
Thanks. And yeah, no rule that says you need to carry that Geodude to the end, go beat Wattson's ass.
>why the fuck you'd choose Blanque
I'm going to be honest I took most of the names from TVTropes' Complete Monster page, it's been a while since I've actually read comics and I just kind of vaguely matched villains with mons based on powerset/association.. I also for some reason thought Blanque had water based powers + I was sort of visualizing Blanque/Milotic as both pale thin smug jackasses, probably should have just gone with Black Manta though.
And yeah I liked Anton Arcane, there's probably some clever joke to be made there about how he got killed by a collection of evil dead spirits but I'm not smart enough to make it.

Moving on to B2 with the Steel type.
So, steel type is known for being the best type for nuzlockes and for a reason: extremely safe type with great pokemons all around. They are even better pre gen6 with the Dark and Ghost resist.
Anyway, all the gyms so far were easy. Decided to go for the Onix over Drillbur in relic castle cause I needed a good defensive wall that good deal with fire types.
>>48365867
yeah, BW2 can be really hard but what Im really dreading is gen7. Anyway, fantastic job on your renplat run

Completely misjudged the Xatu and Claydol in that fight. Psychic and Earthquake tore up the team. Then lunatone spammed calm mind while i got rid of the solarbeam solrock, and then took out Mei. luckily lunatone couldn't do anything about 2 dark type pokemon so i ended up winning. Major loss this time though, so i'm not sure how well i'll do against the final gym and the elite four.

Okay, doing this now. Rules are again that I'm not limiting myself to gifts. Unfortunately, I can't use the egglocke tool to 'guarantee' the 5000$ eggs are water types.
Note also 'Hardcore' means the Hardcore mode, not the nuzlocke type. So all the fun stuff that comes with that, including the many added minor bosses/harder fights/the inability to use boosting moves, most notably the fact I won't be able to set rain whenever I'd like.
Thought I'd be clever and actually not pick Squirtle as a starter, so Blue would instead have Charizard as his ace and a few easier fights, but Blue as a champion would then have permanent Desolate Land and Primal Groudon. Plus, not having Wartortle early means harder early game fights. So I'll pick Squirtle for now.
>>48369291
Good luck. Skyla I think is really the last truly difficult fight before the league.
I'm not too sure on the Cresselia either, while it is tempting to use it as it is a legend with good stats it is pretty weak and bad, especially compared to stuff like Skarmory.
>>48370768

And oh is this not challenge mode? I just assumed it was.
>>48371050
F. Tate and Liza are always difficult, don't worry anon.
For replacements, you'll definitely want something for Juan (especially his Kingdra) and though you'll probably be fine against most of the E4 you'll need better stuff for Glacia/Wallace. I'd rec Lombre (can evolve it now actually), Tentacruel, maybe Exploud if you're willing to grind TMs for it.
>>48371222
F. That is the unfortunate aspect of nuzlockes, they're grind heavy and take a lot of time unless you abuse speedup via emulator.

I made the rookie mistake of underestimating Rival 2. RIP Ms. Speed, struck down too soon. Wattson went pretty good all things considered. Mrs. Dude snapped out of confusion after hitting herself once and took out Magnemite. Swapped Mrs. Dude for Mrs. Goon who took a Rollout from Voltorb. 2 Headbutts later Voltorb was down. Magneton came out and Mrs. Dude had 26hp left. Banking on an electric move I sent it out. Thunder Wave did nothing against Mrs. Dude and then Wattson cocked up by going for Sonic Boom, allowing me to get the DYNAMO Badge.

Skarmory opens up, sets spikes and switches to Heracross who proceeds to sweep free

Same start, only switching into Cacturne who hides behind a Substitute and proceeds to faint attack sweep, an Ice Beam broke it but it naturally outspeeds Dusclops allowing him to re-set
>Glacia
Same start with spikes, Ice Ball takes 4 turns to kill, I switch after the 3rd into Heracross who proceeds to make mince meat of her team
>Drake
Spikes are set, throw Toxic on the Sheilgon to force a Full Restore later - Bring in Chimecho to set-up Calm Minds behind Reflect and Yawn before promptly blasting Drake's dragons, their crunches don't really threaten Chimecho due to being special in gen 3, so any dragon dances are a wasted turn.
>Wallace
Things were pretty clean first, breaking the Wailord's HP some, though Water Spout almost 1HKOs Skarmory which forces me to switch to Walrein to whittle it down with Body Slams, I rest and proceed to switch to Heracross for Ludicolo.

Ludicolo gets gibbed by Megahorn, then it's a matter of switching around the Tentacruel who luckily misses one of two hydro pumps letting me move onto the Champ's last few mons with my health looking good. Once Cacturne gets in behind a sub it falls down to Milotic, she takes down my Chimecho, but the fresh switch to Heracross lets me close it with a final Brick Break.

I've played Platinum more than the others, a little recently too sort of, but I'll probably go again, I had a pretty interesting team by the end game (and a lot of casualties)

Emerald is definitely a stroke more difficult than most gens vanilla I'd say. The leaders are pretty notorious and you can really get fucked for catches in most areas if you lose valuable mons.

Okay, so, uh, nixing that. The problem is not the difficulty, the problem is the RNG. I eventually figured out:
>I need a Volt Absorb Goldeen from Route 22 to even stand a chance at fighting Falkner's Emolga (70% chance to fish over Psyduck, 50% it has it, so 35%)
>I need a Liquid Ooze Tentacool from Pallet Town for certain mons (again 35%)
So even before anything starts that is a 12% chance to actually advance the run. Then, I forgot about Bug Catcher Sammy, a minor boss fight now in this game at the end of Viridian Forest who's usually pretty easy. While I can defeat his Volbeat/Dustox, his Kricketune appears to have no way to get past it deathless, and I do need to be deathless, that doesn't rely on RNG (the best method I found is paralyzing it with Marill's Body Slam then hoping it stays para'd/hits weak Bullet Seeds, not improbable, but again only really about a 10-20% chance).
Once this is all possible, I did find a way to beat Brock/Falkner.
But now I could sit here and tell you I got the 1% chance that's necessary to get past Sammy, went through the entire run, obliterated it handily (I actually was thinking of strategies to get past Surge/Erika/the league and got excited), but yeah, that's not what would happen in reality without a lot of resets, and I'd rather just do a run I can do honestly.
Though now I'll try Rejuvenation, which may be even harder. At least I won't need the stars to align to get past literally the first decently hard fight in that game lmao

I'm not allowing myself any of the gift mon/eggs in addition to the area encounters, this is pure nuzlocke (though I will Pinwheel Clause where possible). Maybe if I ever do Intense difficulty or if I die a lot in this run I may swap it up.

Good to see you're picking this up as my interest in games is beginning to fade, the gift rules you're imposing are strict but from what I've seen you've got the knowledge to be able to take this down.

You are blazing through these runs man, good shit.
>>48373120
Reborn you could handle depending on what level of difficulty you want to impose on yourself with playing.
When I did it last year I was super lenient and allowed myself all special encounters in an area to leverage my own recklessness and unpreparedness and it cost me a lot even then.
If you're doing strict rules, many of the areas that have distinct encounters from eachother are marked with different names, and as for wards that are larger and have separate grass encounters, if the screen has to load at all while transitioning then I'd say that's when Pinwheel clause takes effect.
But yeah you should try nuzlocking reborn and showing me up by playing it with actual rules and not my loose ones.

Lead Wartortle on Emolga, this baits out Lileep, I Icy Wind this turn and then swap Tentacool to get off damage with Liquid Ooze as it Mega Drains, then swap Bibarel to Defense Curl + Rollout to take out Lileep, Hippopotas, and Sandshrew, then I have to let Bibarel go down to Lunatone but get off a heavy Aqua Jet so Lombre revenges. Then on Cacnea, I must win one speed tie with Sharp Beak Wingull to just 2HKO. On Archen I can send in Wartortle to kill. If literally any of these elements fail I lose and there's a lot of shit that could have gone wrong, so really, to call this a good strat is not really accurate. The Sammy shit moreso made me want to just not engage with the RNG necessary but I suppose if I spent any longer on Brock/Falkner I would have smashed my head against the wall even harder.
I might just make a Brock clause or something, honestly, there's no way to get past him without losing Bibarel, but I suspect the rest of the run is very doable. So maybe I can try a run of RR that's just beaten Brock with Bibarel in the dead box. But we'll see.

And the elite four is down. Sadly Mari couldn't make it through the Wallace fight. The biggest issue was running out of PP at the end of the run, making milotic a bitch to get past.

Magnezone paralyzed both the carracosta and the Jellicent, make Marlon a non threat.

I also don't think I'm going to go some of the mandatory battles, especially early game most are pretty easy. Gyarados, Galvantula, Zetta, etc etc all went fine.
>Rorrim B and Novae
First real fight of the run. Their team - Charjabug, Galarian Mr. Mime, Trumbeak, Passimian, Lombre, Oricorio-Sensu, doubles. I had to actually use the Modest mint the game gives you on Szayelaporro here as otherwise the Mr. Mime would outspeed. Lead Goku Black/Szayela, focused into Mr. Mime, then focus fired into Oricorio and Lombre, while the Charjabug mostly just wasted turns trying to land weak Digs on Goku Black. This allows me to now 2v1 Charjabug's side of the field, which wasn't hard (other than just creatively switching around the Fighting Gem Passimian).
>Keta
His team - Pignite, Scraggy, Galarian Farfetch'd, Machoke, Combusken, Lucario, doubles. Lead Szayelaporro and Mimimi, take down the Pignite and paralyze the Scraggy, this makes him send in Lucario. I try to get Mimimi to Charm the Lucario, but it Gale Strikes (strong fighting custom move with +1 crit chance with added grass type in this terrain) to crit and kill Mimimi, then swap Szayela for Goku Black. Send in Anjuro to bait Scraggy/Lucario into Gale Striking that slot but send in Niardi to easily tank it then take down Lucario with Flame Wheel + Mach Punch. Repeat the same process for Machoke. On Combusken, I send in Gauron and obliterate the rest of his team with Air Cutter with Goku's help. First death, but could have gone worse.
Also, I can see why this game leads to quick burnout, it's because by the time you get to the 4th gym you fight about the same number of bosses that you'd fight over the course of an entire normal game. Forgot how much shit is packed into this.

>>48375958

Norman defeated! By using protect cheese again, sue me.

Ms. Cigar took down the first Slaking with precision. 4 Flamethrowers did the trick. Vigoroth came in and I switched into Mr. Chad who took a Facade pretty good. It got hit with another Facade but it hit back with Revenge.
>Final Slaking
Took a bit of a gamble and sent out Ms. Cigar as opposed to someone else since I noticed it generally uses Focus Punch and lo and behold it went for it. Ms. Cigar took it perfectly and we did the Protect/Flamethrower fun again.

Now to panic for Winona.

>Grimsley
Lucario sweep

the only tough fight. Holding an Occa Berry, Lucario used SD against Hydreigon, who went for surf instead of flamethrower. I proceeded to kill half of Iris team (Hydreigon, Druddigon and Aggron) with Lucario. Haxorus finally came out to play. Swapped to my Air Balloon Excadrill predicting the EQ and it worked. SD once and then started to EQ. Focus Sash proc but then Iris healed the next turn, making it a 1hit kill. Excadrill also one shot Lapras with Brick Break and Archeops with Iron Head. GG
MVP of the run is Lucario for its consistency, altho Excadrill is just too op, being able to disrupt major fights with ease.
Now is time for Electric on White2

So, I'll impose another rule on myself: any fight that can be lost that still progresses the storyline must be won. There is one exception I must make, but other than that, fights like this are fair game.
Her team - Floette, Salandit, Cufant, Golbat, Houndoom, SHADOW MEWTWO. As scary as that sounds, especially to fight a fucking buffed Uber before the second gym, it's not that bad as I'm assisted by Keta in this fight. Seviper and Grimer screw around, keeping a crippled Floette alive and take out the other half of her team with Keta thankfully cooperating. As soon as Mewtwo comes out, I swap to Swirlix to Cotton Spore it and get some damage off with Fairy Winds (Shadow moves are ineffective against Fairies/Fairy is SE on Shadow), then swap to Hidan to finish it off.
>Revenant Keta
Team - Larvesta, Roselia, Ninetales, Krokorok, Lapras, Gallade. Lead Anjuro but the fucker swaps Lapras immediately. So I go Manfred to Screech and Body Slam it, then Goku to Mach Punch once Manfred gets low. This prompts in Ninetales who dies to Anjuro. Gallade comes out, so I pivot around to Jose through Hidan to tank Psycho Cut and Poison Sweep, Jose thankfully lands Hypnosis so Gauron can come in and kill. With the 3 big threats down the rest of the team dies easy.
2 badges down, 13 more to go.

Fire and water trial are finished. This time they were way more manageable.
>Fire Trial
Whoever decided to allow Totem Marowak's cursed body to active even when using detect is insane. Thankfully i was using aqua jet instead of bubble beam, so it was a easy one shot with z-bubble beam. Nowhere as bad as the prismatic moon version.
>Grass Trial
Again, the grass trial is the second easiest tiral in the game. Z-pluck one shot it instantly. Even with the boosted stats, totem lurantis can't seem to catch a break. Onto Olivia!

Depends really on how much difficulty you're willing to handle.
I personally think Drayano hacks are a ton of fun to nuzlocke thanks to their great level of difficulty that's not too overboard (Blaze Black/Volt White I think goes a bit too far) and great mon variety. Buffel Salt's newest hack Inclement Emerald is also probably pretty good on lower difficulty setting.
Insurgence, Radical Red, and Unbound are infamously kind of shit to 'locke, but on easier difficulties I think they're very accommodating.
Gaia, Glazed and Dreams are moderately more difficult than the main games.
Fakemon Fire Red, Fool's Gold, and Blazing Emerald are all fakemon heavy games of decently high quality. Clover is too, but that's both a difficult and grind heavy nuzlocke.

Misty went down without any inkling of trouble but our rival at Nugget Bridge was TOUGH. His own Parrobi was a monster to deal with since we don't really have that much for fliers. Thankfully our egg hatched into the cosmic typed Novian which resists and is super-effective against flying. With the use of some Cosmic Powers and super potions our Togepi equivalent managed to pull through.

Plumeria and Olivia are defeated and the second island is complete!
>Plumeria
With Tank this fight was a complete wash. The only real way her golbat to do any damage was the use confuse ray and hope Tank hurt himself. Three rock tombs from Tank took out golbat, and her salandit was taken out from a single bubble beam from Berry.
>Olivia
Tank and Boris were the stars of this battle. With two iron defenses and a shell bell, Anorith could barely make a dent in Tank and three rock tombs took it out. Her Lileep was dispatched with four low kicks from Mocha, and she even wasted her only super potion on it. Finally it was time for her Lycanroc. I switch in Boris and Olivia use Continental Crush on him. Thankfully due to Boris being a pure ground type, he was able to tank the hit and even activate stamina, raising his defense. Since Lycanroc had only physical, each hit would raise Boris's defense. By the time Lycanroc was defeated, Boris's defense was boosted to the maximum.

Basically came down to not getting crit. I led Ajin, swapped between Ajin and Muzan to tank Waterfalls and spam Intimidate, then swapped Ose to take it down, slowly.
>Giratina
So, this battle was tough for a number of reasons, the biggest being there's a decently hard doubles fight right after this where you can't change your team up. I led Ajin, then swapped between Ajin and Hidan to eat Shadow Claws/Dragonbreaths and slowly chip its Attack down. Then I swapped Genma on a Shadow Claw to Noble Roar it a few times. Ose, Kazundo and Muzan beat it down.
>Geara
Said doubles fight. His team - Persian, Alolan Marowak, Morgrem, Masquerain, Haunter, Clefairy. My lead was Ajin and Ose. Faked Out Persian, then took down Marowak in two hits though it did burn Ajin. I swapped Ajin for Kazundo to tank the Persian's Normal Gem Covet, he sends in Morgrem. It just dies to Iron Head but sets Reflect, out is Haunter. I swap Kaz for Muzan to tank Persian's Dig and swap Ose for Genma as Haunter Dazzling Gleams (boosted on this field, didn't want to risk Ose dying). Then I focus fire onto Haunter. I swap in Kaz to kill Clefairy, kill off Persian, then Masquerain dies easily.
All this makes me wonder how the hell I'll handle these fights in Intense if I ever try.

>Are you allowing trade evos? You can get a nice big Gigalith that can handle both of those pretty easily
See, thing is, I'm using the randomizer which changes impossible evos, so I'll be getting Gigalith around Lv. 37 assuming it even survives that long.
Also god even in Intense Marianette was so fucking easy.

>>48382665
Say, got a download for that? I'm interested now.

>Geara
Fuck that twat in particular, I ended up having to rely on Infiltrator Seviper and Crobat just to break through his shitty little Morgrem's barriers.

That Linoone's set is depressing.

Good luck, but also RIP, and so soon too.

Much harder than I expected. At least during the prep process I got to listen to Goldenleaf's great theme.
Her team - Drifblim, Mimikyu, Polteageist, Aevian Mismagius (Grass/Ghost regional form), Dusclops. Led Doffy on Drifblim to try and meme it with Flash, as her battle terrain both buffs ghost moves and makes ghost moves SE against Normal but it can be removed briefly with Flash, but she swapped directly into Mismag on the turn the terrain returned to threaten me with Shadow Sneak so I swapped Ose to kill. She went back to Drifblim, I went back to Doffy, anticipated the switch this time and broke her Mimikyu's Disguise. Sent in Goku then swapped to Anjuro on her Chandelure swap to kill.
This brought Polteageist in, I anticipated Spectral Scream (custom strong ghost move she has) and went to Zorin. After beating it down, I unfortunately had no real switch for Mimikyu - Goku was too weak to take a hit + Shadow Sneak and a ghost move on my normal types would certainly kill, plus I was low health so the AI could go for anything, so Zorin had to die. Brought Goku in to revenge, then had Doffy clean up her Dusclops and Drifblim.
4 badges down.

Nice. Don't forget about the Old Amber either, though funnily I think that mon is worse than the Mt. Moon fossilmons
>>48385342
Based ending, I love when shit like that happens.
Linoone can straight up sweep the E4 if it has to as it gets Belly Drum late game, def save that shit for Emerald.
>as you are in locking
Thanks lol, but it's less 'being good' and more just 'poring over trainer data meticulously and trying to figure out what the hell to do'.
>>48385828
F.
But interesting, do you always box the starter?
>>48385978
>changes impossible evos
Ah, painful. Regardless, you still have Eviolite.
I think on Intense you could literally repeat the exact same strategy for Marianette, but Geara...yeah, yikes. Least he doesn't have Grimmsnarl and Gengar.

After a short break, time for White2
Electric is one of my favorite types but its kinda difficult to monorun. Its absolutely assblasted by ground types, but BW2 is not a game filled with them. In theory, the biggest threats of this run are Clay, Hugh's Bouffalant, Ghetsis' Seismitoad and Iris' Haxorus.
15 was the number of resets to find a +def Mareep with good ivs since it was my only mon available for the first gym and surviving boosted tackles from Lilipup is a risky game. However, Intel the Mareep, with the help of para hax, managed to deal with Cheren.
As you guys can see, both Electabuzz and magneton were caught in the Virbank Complex. This was my first case of Pinwheel clause usage.
>Roxie
Magnemite sweep
>Burgh
For some reason Burgh's ai is coded so it always wants to outspeed you, so if you twave his mons they go for moves like String Shot or rock polish. ez w
>Elesa
Annoying as always but manageable. Jolteon survived a crit pursuit after Charm but other than that it was a controlled fight.
Time for Clay now and I do have some ideas, but I did managed it with steel types, i think I can repeat a deathless Clay here as well.
>>48378906
special metagross was not that bad against Marshall that has no special defense. After Steel I think Clay is not that tough for this team, however still the major threat until Ghetsis.
>>48386789
only 2 deaths so far, incredible. Keep up the great work
>>48378908
ty, steel was a really fun and quick run, the type is just great and BW2 has a lot of great steel pokémons available
>>48385342
fun looking team. I personally love Plusle & Minum and usually try to champ them (did on RSE and ORAS on past autismlockes). Linoone is great for the Ghost girl in the league. I like the nickname theme as well
>>48385828
gl on the run
