That's exactly what I'm doing in my first Nuzlocke run being Pearl--the first Pokemon mainline game I picked up. I beat the main game in Platinum not too long ago either.

I spend most of my day playing with only one badge as result. Gotta love it

Lost Machop because it couldn't get away from Gastly who mean looked+Cursed it immediately. Lost Pachurisu to a Trashing Gyarados, which sucks since Crasher also starts off with a Gyarados. I kept Gastly as such until level 29 so it would learn Shadow Ball on level up to Haunter and one quick trade later and I get early Shadow Ball Gengar. Picked up Focus Blast before confronting Maylene though, Flying types that have shitty defense and a neutral defense against Fighting types didn't fill me with confidence.

>Maylene
I debated between Klepto and Pidgit, because Klepto is stronger and faster, but also weaker. Decided on Pidgit for Double Teams and extra bulk. Expecting a turn one detect (as gen 3 does) Pidgit DT'd, but Meditite Meditated instead. One Wing Attack took out Meditite. Machoke came out but it didn't die in one hit. Luckily for me Machoke used Foresight instead of actually damaging me. It didn't heal either so another Wing Attack finished it.
>Lucario
I was pissing myself desu. This thing is powerful for this stage of the game. And fast too since it outsped Pidgit, activating it's Sitrus leaving it on 47/75hp. Pidgit's wing attack did slightly over 40%. Now i figured; Clearly Force Palm/Drain Punch is the obvious option so I''ll just send King Boo in on it for a free switch. Apparently Maylene is a psychic because instead it went for Metal Claw, leaving King Boo on 45/79.
This is trickier. Focus Miss is infamous for, well, missing. A crit metal claw would end this run immediately. I went for Focus Blast and I unironically popped off when it connected. Not out of the woods yet, luckily.

Also a question for you guys. Pachu's Pickup makes it pick of Dusk, Shiny and Dawny stones past level 31. If I would put Pachu in the Day Care whilst grinding and it goes to level 31, can I hypothetically put it back in the party during my grinding to reap those sweet rewards?

Thanks, I remember Pearl vaguely from youth. But Platinum is more fresh on the mind.

Just finished a test run (wiped by Roark Cranidos Headbutt) didn't feel like spending too much time on leveling at a test. Rules seem good to follow, but one thing I find myself choosing to do is at least using health items or status healers after battle, like Antidote or Potion to cure poison otherwise it'd kill my mon even outside of battle in Gen 4 anyway.
Also, anyone here uses the No items in battle rule, but held items like barries are an exception? Haven't tried it yet, but curious.

Seeing you get the Murkrow first encounter at Eterna gives me hope I get the Misdreavus first encounter. Definitely first stepping in at night, and catching a Budew in the Route North of Jubilife.
There's also always the Lost Tower, I guess.

The thing about using items from your bag in battle is that its really easy to abuse, its basically a priority free max heal in a lot of cases or for X items a free stat boost. If you don't limit them they become gamebreaking very quickly, and even if you do they're often amazing in conjunction with setup.
Held items aren't universally as broken, even the best held items like Choice items or Leftovers aren't as stupidly strong.

Hop's battle after Opal is always such a pain for me, easily the hardest trainer battle before the champion as it's so difficult to prepare for due to the type diversity along with Snorlax. I honestly would have loved for him to remain this challenging.

sword and shield honestly has pretty decent good sets and strong trainers, plus trainers using dynamaxed mons if you don't actually makes gyms incredibly threatening and pretty much every one after milo (barring piers) a potential run ender.
it does give you a lot more resources than any game in the franchise but in terms of how strong the trainers are it's probably the 'hardest' game in the series after gen 7. given how more people use harder rulesets nowadays it might be worth redoing the difficulty rankings

now that was a fight i was fearing
Mence lead for the Intimidate, switch to Seadra to take play rough neutraly, Icy wind slows and get rid of Disguise. Switch to eviolite Tyrunt for charm and praying for it to dodge crits (it does), then switch to shell armor Turtonator, Iron defense once, protect for lefties heal, flamethrower for the win, gg
>Nanu
also a tough fight. Mence OHKO sableye with Z-Fly, then eviolite Sliggo started to confide (it also protected during the z-move turn) Persian. After it was -4, vibrava superpowered once and mence came out to kill it with brick break. Kindgra took care of Krokorok.

Some sidequests.
>Nancy
This fight isn't the issue, she's a mono Fairy trainer with levels well below my own and overall weak mons. The real problem is...
>Dimensional Rift Chandelure
Which you fight right after. Colossal special attack + 100 speed and Protean meant this would be a shitshow at level 55. At level 60, Thievul could live an attack, Parting Shot out to Alolan Muk to break its Shield and smack it hard with a Crunch, then out to Empoleon to Hydro Pump and Aqua Jet it.
>Spector
Team - Murkrow, Gothitelle, Gengar, Cursola, Ninetales, Mega Banette, doubles. Lead Heliolisk/Froslass, Heliolisk gets Faked Out and Froslass lands a Shadow Ball on Goth as Murk sets up Perish Song. I take out Goth with another SBall as Helio removes the field with Flash. Out comes the Banette. I swap Fros for A-Muk to tank Shadow Sneak and chip Banette with Helio as Murkrow Protects, then swap Helio for A-Persian as he swaps Murkrow out to Cursola. I actually use Alolan Muk to attack into Murkrow's slot as I know it will switch and Banette can't really touch Persian or Muk which slams Cursola to its Sash. Then I take out the both of them, admittedly risking Destiny Bond from Banette.
He sends in Ninetales/Murkrow. I begin Nasty Plotting up with Persian as I swap around teammates to absorb Hypnosis's/Night Shades (Ninetales sees the Chesto Berry I have on Persian and targets the other slot), I take out Murkrow with Power Gem, bait Gengar into a ghost move with Froslass as I swap for Thievul to take it out with two Shadow Balls, then take down Ninetales shortly after.

USUM, BW2 Challenge and Plat are the undisputed top 3 though. USUM for the EVs/Totems, BW2 for the brutal early game and E4, and Plat for the various run enders like Cyrus or Fantina. Then Sun/Moon for being slightly easier USUM.
Though after that there could be changes. Emerald is definitely consistently harder than BW and BW2. I'd argue HGSS is maybe harder than BW and BW2 normal (not the Johtoschizo or anything, but Whitney, Clair, Lance, Blue and Red all are easy run enders while there's not a ton in BW/2 outside of like, Lenora or Ghetsis). The Kanto games deserve to be shifted down and Sword/Shield and XY probably could be brought up. This is all assuming no overlevelling and whatever.

>Totem Kommo-o
Lead Kingdra with Haban Berry. Draco meteor does half, dragon claw does close to 60% with the haban berry proc. This ensures Scizor is called instead of Noivern. Switch to Haban Berry Mence for the Intimidate drop. I know it can survive a non-crit Dragon Claw cause of the berry and it does. Now is time to switch to Turtonator, will-o both it and the Scizor, and stall. Kommo-o is down and no deaths.
>Ultra Necrozma
My strat: Rain dance with Gooddra since it can survive 1 dragon pulse with the Haban Berry, Sack something next turn (Noivern) and then safely switch Swift Swim Kingdra with the 72.5% range to one shot with Z-Draco Meteor. If it doesnt kill, after Kingdra dies, switch in Focus Sash anything for it to kill Necrozma.
And so the battle began, Rain Dance turn 1, survives with Haban, sack Noivern, and time for the z-draco.... and it gets the range and one-shot Necrozma.
>Totem Ribombee
Now with Poipole, I can run a a nice eviolite set with Toxic/Protect/Nasty Plot/Sludge Wave. And thats what I do. However, Ribombee gets a spdef drop turn one with Bug Buzz before I Toxic it. Knowning I need everything to beat it, i switch in Tyrantrum. It survivers a Bug Buzz, I protect for stall, but it dies to Dazzling Gleam. I go to Gooddra, protect for stall one more turn before going back to Poipole and ending the fight with sludge wave after the toxic damage.
Even tho we lost 2 mons, I'm extremely happy, I thought I would legit wipe to totem ribombee or even Necrozma. Kommo-o also could damage us badly.
Anyway, time for victory Road and league prep

Catching Pokemon raises exp, and a lot of people go crazy with catching as many Pokemon as they can. Suddenly you're over-leveled due to all the exp and exp candies. You don't have that luxury in a nuzlocke, and you're doing a no grind clause, so your levels will be pretty low. RIP Sinistea, Polteageist is an absolute beast in story mode and I love it so much.

>Kanto is considered hard only because lack of useful movesets and Sabrina/Koga
The thing is that enemies have even worse movesets than you do. Sabrina I think is fairly overrated (especially if you have Snorlax which you're guaranteed to encounter, but even regardless every other game in the series has harder setup trainers), and Koga is a joke.
>X/Y
Yeah I wouldn't consider it a massive jump, but I think it should at least be above R/B and FRLG for its trainers. Reflection Cave/Frost Cavern have genuinely hard trainers. I'm also assuming no Megas/Z-Moves/Dmax so Lysandre could be actually threatening, or even stuff like the triple rival fight.
>Emerald/Platinum
Wouldn't say they're above BW2 Challenge. The E4 alone in BW2C blows the two out of the water, Caitlyn's Metagross, Shauntal's scarfed Chandelure, Marshall in just his entirety, etc. Ghetsis is tougher than Cyrus, Roxie/Cheren are tougher than Fantina or Wattson, even midgamers like Clay are tougher than a lot of midgame fights in either of those games other than maybe Norman.

XD and Colosseum would definitely be harder than USUM. I don't know which would be harder. Colosseum gives you worse mons + has harder bosses, but XD has harder normal trainers and a lot more of them which can be a much bigger drain on resources. I'd say Colosseum edges out though.
>>48475405
Fire Red Omega might be considered easier than USUM and XD/Colo. The insane numbers of gift mons plus gyms being fairly easy to sweep make it not really ridiculous, I'd say it's only just under USUM though. If you exclude the gift mons, it shoots up, probably higher than all of the above.
And Fire Red Omega is his easiest hack, even his second easiest (which I'd consider Sacred Gold/Storm Silver) is harder than USUM.

I would rather keep giftmon banned and instead put less restriction on the level cap. Honestly I don't like the idea of using a grabbag of starters, even though they offer the kind of coverage & power that I know would get me through the game.

If I just brought Treeko through then the whole experience would have been far easier.

This Gen IV AI is really weird.

>Crasher Wake
I taught Pokey Shock Wave for Gyarados and gave it the Zap Plate I dug up from the Underground. Pokey used Shock Wave on Gyarados, who lived on about 5hp. It used bite on Pokey leaving it on 26/80hp. On the turn Crasher healed Gyarados I used Agility (in case of Floatzel after) another Shock Wave did take it out.
>Floatzel
Accepting that Floatzel would go for Pursuit I used Shock Wave which did 70%, but activated the Sitrus. I think Crasher is hard coded to Brine when on lower than 50% hp? Because that's how Pokey died. A shame because if I knew I'd hard switch into Petey. Petey came in and Crasher threw by using Swift allowing Petey to sweep Floatzel and Quagsire.

Fantine next, not too afraid because of King Boo and Klepto.

Nuzlockes ruined main series for me. Can't play regular runs anymore because they're too boring, and can't complete nuzlockes because I'm a fuckwit. Tried for almost ten years and everytime I found some way to fuck it up. Tried allowing the use of unlimited potions, tried ev training, tried over levelling. Yet always found myself stuck in a no-win situation, usually before second gym, nearly always before third.

Had to ban myself from trying them eventually. Was failing multiple runs a week, wasting hours every day grinding up pokemon that'd die soon after. Really started to get to me psychologically to the point I became an alcoholic and lost my job.

Wish I was joking. Almost ruined my life over a children's game. But been on the up since then, getting life back on track. Now I just watch other people nuzlocke on YouTube. It does get to me how easy of a time they seem to have, but at least shit's funny when they do fuck up.

Anyway, just wanted to wish y'all good luck, and don't be afraid to take a break if it gets too much. Shit is supposed to be fun.

After wiping 8 times to that fucking teacher emily, i finally realized I could never beat her without going over the totem level cap with Litten and so I did. A lvl13 Litten managed to barely win that fight.
>Totem Raticate
Intimidate on growlithe was huge but the burn on the second ember of the fight was the determinant factor for me winning that with only 1 mon
>Hala
Charmeleon killed machop, the whole team dealt with makuhita and the intimidate proc helped growlithe survive the z-fighting from the crab so Charmeleon could kill it with Dragon Rage

Dragon rage twice for the kill but crit bubble would be a kill on Charmeleon so i needed to dodge that, also dodge the speed drop. A stresfful fight that went the best possible scenario

It's a doubles Trick Room Sun battle, she leads with a Sashed Hatterene and Incineroar to try and set Trick Room, I lead with Salazzle and Persian to Fake Out Hat and kill it before it could do anything, rest of the battle was a wash.
>Erick
This fight's more interesting. Team - Electivire, Alolan Raichu, Magneton, Togedemaru, Eelektross, Mega Toxtricity. Lead Mawile/Froslass. Mawile Suckers Raichu to kill, Froslass freezes his watery battlefield with Blizzard. Out is Togedemaru, I swap around to hit both his mons hard with Blizzard and get in my own Electivire/Lanturn, then kill his Vire. Then he brings in the fucking Toxtricity, way too early. I bait attacks from Togedemaru and Tox into my Electivire slot as Lanturn hits Tox hard with Hydro Pumps to kill, then I swap in Torterra on Eelektross and set up Leech Seeds on both sides to stall.
I'm now forced to swap around as everything on my team gets to very low HP. This is a problem for when Eelektross dies and Magneton comes out, because now I have no real answer to it other than Tort's EQ and Persian was too low to take a hit. So I choose a sack - Abraham the Electivire, he's just not that useful going forward.

You can probably get one counter in Cerulean. Raichu, Breloom, Vileplume, Victreebel are all pretty good. Evo stones are on wild Pikachu/Oddish.
Route 24 fishing has a 70% chance of Chinchou. Also, route 25 fishing can get you Staryu (wild Shellder have water stones).
Also on Route 6, the pre-Vermilion route, you have about a 32% to get a Seedot/Lotad line member, or 20% to get a Swellow you can pre-poison to hopefully get a massive Guts boost going into the fight. Also guaranteed Gyarados at the SS Anne.
That should hopefully be a start? Post your team the next time you get to Misty.

I got all the way to Erika on my 2nd try (also got wiped by Falkner on first try).

The difficulty spikes are pretty brutal because you don't get a mega stone until Sabrina. So surge is rough with his Mega Manectric and Erika runs insane strata of grassy terrain + contrary serpiror with focus sash.

RNG is heavy tilted against you in the early game unless you timezones manipulate Dynamax Dens for some good catches like elekid.

But even then it's rough early game as the deck is stacked heavy against you. But the worst part is the AI. It doesn't follow traditional patterns and literally is allowed to see all your mon / immunity abilities at all times. So trying to bait switch into something safe usually results in the AI knowing your switch no matter what and predicting it.

I tested it with my lanturn and and Gyrados at Surge. 100% of the time he would scald my Gyrados if I had a lanturn with volt absorb but would nuke him with rising voltage if I switched his ability to water absorb, because it KNOWS your abilities no matter what.

I still have no fucking idea how I lost Croconaw, fought the first trainer in the Lighthouse and it just crit me at a random time, which lead to this unexpected downfall. Luckily I was able to destroy Morty by his Pokemon having terrible movesets.

Got a Krabby in Cherrygrove and traded it for Voltorb, because I love Electrode. Gonna be useful for the upcoming time.

Not sure what I'm gonna do with Red Gyarados yet, I have a shiny clause, but never thought about fixed shinies, got a Magikarp encounter per accident.

So far the toughest fight of the run. Lead Flareon. Bite for a good chunk. Brick break does a lot. Swap into Growlithe for the intimidate drop. Marowak Detects, totem salazzle goes for the torment. I go to Oricorio. Brick Break and venoshock dont do much. Protect. Then feather dance, salazzle torments, hex does minimal. Roost for stall, pecha cures poison. Then i go for air cutter so Dragon rage on charmeleon kills next turn. Hex and venoshock leave me with a slither. Charmeleon in, salazzle goes for poison gas(pecha) and hex does little. Dragon rage kills next turn, and then Flareon comes back for the kill on salazzle. GG
>Olivia
Lead ye, Feather dance and I hope for a crit dodge. Smack down does 80%. Roost, smack down does close to 25, roost again until im at 75% health after smack down. Feather dance again, smack down does 60, roost and feather dance once more. I was blessed with no crits against Oricorio. after its -6, Combusken comes in, flame charge once, work up 3 times, flame charge for the kill and sweep Olivia.

This is why I personally don't use shiny clause. In a nuzlocke you do a lot of grinding so naturally the chance of finding a shiny goes way up. Even if you use rare candies rare candies just assume you're fighting uber safe wilds and you want to cut down on time so it's still not really fair.
People can do what they want, I just think it's kind of a self defeating thing

Wait, so to you the shiny clause defeats the purpose of a nuzlocke? Because, maybe Im just unlucky, but out my probably 20-30 nuzlocke attempts Ive only ever found 2 shinies while grinding and I dont see how catching a Pokemon you have a 1/8192 or a 1/4096 chance of encountering is enough to defeat the purpose of a nuzlocke.

Actually, I meant more the other way around, nuzlockes themselves by their grindy nature kind of kill the luck factor that makes Shiny Clause a thing. Its just that you'll do hundreds and thousands of battles across these runs to where shiny chances get considerably high.
But I'm not saying that the Shiny Clause breaks everything, I'm just saying why I personally never use it. People can play however they want

Easiest way to remake the difficulty chart is to make ratings for each game. That way people can get a sense of how hard games are in relation to each other as well as how they stack up against romhacks/how romhacks stack against each other.
If RBY/FRLG are the easiest games, they might get 1 star. Then a game like Plat might get 3 stars, USUM 4, then Colo/XD 5. Then Dray hacks could be like from 5 (Fire Red Omega) to 7-8. And so on

Interesting. Maybe add half stars to reduce clutter.
Maybe something like
RB 1 star
Y 1.5 stars
GSC 2 stars
RS 2 stars
Emerald 3 stars
FRLG 1 star
DP 2 stars
Plat 3 stars
HGSS 2.5 stars
BW 2.5 stars
BW2 2.5 stars
BW2C 3.5 stars
XY 1.5 stars
ORAS 1.5 stars
SM 3.5 stars
USUM 4 stars
SS 2 stars
Then have a description for each one.
Have to think about it a bit more obviously but I like the framework.

I've never been a big fan of hoenn, so i've never played past the second gym. If i do a nuzlocke run blind, how hard am i going to get my ass handed to me?

hmmm I don't know how good you are but it's a mainline pokemon game so it's not that hard. That said losing once or twice to learn where the difficult points are is kind of part of the experience.

I have no idea what to do with the Safari Zone in HGSS. Do you guys have some advice as to how I can handle it the best way?

>Totem Kommo-o
Torkoal Lead. Will-O-Wisp both Kommo-o and Noivern. Oricorio stall with feather dance and roost and then Delphox for the kill with z-psychic.
>Ultra necrozma
The ever so used toxic tall with Charti Berry's Flareon lead with toxic (salazzle with focus sash as a backup) since it can eat anything that is not a crit. I had to sack Larvesta but since it was a 17 TOTAL IV one i didnt felt bad about it lol
>Totem Ribombee
Salazzle's Z-Sludge wave and then a second sludge wave for the kill, Blaziken for the ally Blissey
>Hapu
Feather Dance + Roost + Calm Mind Oricorio sweep
Time for victory road and league prep

you do have to pretty much look up how it works: basically, it's dependent on time, you get better 'blocks' for building your safari zone the more you wait
hgss isn't really difficult enough to warrant waiting a length of time for a specific pokemon, so i'd recommend just going with whatever you start out with. serebii has a good list of safari zone mons with the amount of time you need to wait for them + what blocks you need.

>interested in doing mono-dragon run in SS
>figure it'll be fine, plenty of dragons for once
>look up encounter tables
You get one encounter from a den in Rolling Fields, which if it's not Axew then your run is over as the others are too weak to solo the gym leaders. Then a Noibat and Trapinch encounter in a different den, if they didn't take the first den. Then an Applin encounter after the first badge, which is worthless until you beat the third gym. Then a fossil if you have a dragon fossil on route 6. No more encounters until after Raihan is defeated, then two more encounter possibilities in Lake of Outrage and the den in Axew's Eye. Eternatus after the story progresses, but also ew using a legendary during the story? Basically a very limited run with your options basically already picked out for you, and chellenging because of how long it takes for them to evolve and not die. Maybe a different game would be better for a dragon-locke.

I mean other than that you have SM and USUM with nothing but Noibat/Bagon for a long while unless you're lucky with Salamence or gen in a 'starter' like Axew or Goomy.
Maybe just play a bit loose with the rules?

You're right, seems like the best bet for a varied dragon nuzlocke (without skewering the encounter rules) would be XY. Those games are easily the least challenging, though (even without exp share). I'll look into other types or just do a regular mono-dragon run with some nuzlocke rules enacted.

G FUCKING G
>Olivia
Full monke sweep: Will-o-wisp into 3 bulk ups and stealth rocks to break sturdy of probopass, also holding lefties.
>Molayne
Lead Torkoal, SR to break Mag sturdy later on, then switch into oricorio -> 2 calm minds and 1 agility -> BP for the Salazzle sweep
>Acerola
Lead torkoal for the will-o, then Oricorio for a feather dance and 2 agilities then BP into Incineroar for 3 bulk ups and then sweep
>Kahili
Torkoal lead again. Will-o -> protect -> SR -> protect -> Delphox for the Light Screen -> oricorio for 3 Feather dances -> torkoal again for the will-o (kahili used full restore) -> back at oricorio to use taunt for scary face -> Salazzle Nasty Plot once and then sweep away (used z-fire on mandibuzz)
->Hau
This fight was a HUGE set up
Delphos lead, Light screen and then Confide + wish until its -6, thern go to Torkoal, rock tomb once for a speed drop, then go to oricorio, calm mind 3 times and 1 agility and then finally BP to Salazzle with a focus sash in case of a psychic crit on the switch. G FUCKING G
damn that was a great challenge to do, maybe i'll start a hatelocke after this one

Ok I've altered my rules slightly. I switched to FRO DX, and decided to create my level cap by 3 and see if that's too easy.

Pushed through the snow routes and got a couple decent catches, unfortunately lost Lickilicky in the 7th Gym battle though, gambled on rollout because I didn't really have an answer for Froslass, somehow got a 2HKO through one double team + snow cloak. Survived Abomasnow focus blast with 5hp only to be finished by the hail. I'd have set-up rain earlier with Lumineon but the first shadow ball it ate lowered SpDef so no dice.

Kinda torn on a replacement slot, Vespiquen is neat but exhibiting that late game bug pokemon trope of falling behind. I could take Altaria for some better moveset/TM potential, or try Magmortar or something maybe.

Anyone here ever tried running Xenoverse? Is it as cringe as it looks?

What do you expect from a monotype nuzlocke? Unless it's like, flying, you're usually going to have a very similar team.

Xenoverse is honestly pretty fun, it's not edgy or anything and has a lot of pleasant camp to it. It's also on the easier side of most fangames. Though I've not run it I don't imagine it would be that difficult (definitely harder than most main games). Also do note there is a forced loss battle against a certain Pawniard using set of trainers that you might not realize is forced loss
