A new thread and no one has bumped it? Not today.
As you can see, we have been joined by many new friends thanks to the Great Marsh, though i'm kinda sad i didn't get Houndour at Valor Lakefront (and Girafarig killed itself because i wanted the Ultra Ball color match). Now i need to grind for Crasher Wake, and i'll probably just swap in a Grass type to deal with his Quagsire because it walls my entire team.

I think my favorite runs have been Platinum and my most recent Black run.
This question has actually prompted a thought for me, though. Is it considered not normal to not run the same game repeatedly? The only game I've run more than once was Black, and those attempts had a 8 year gap between them.

i love doing black/white nuzlockes, being able to put a spin on it with a ton of variety really makes every run really enjoyable
on top of that, i also really like the sprites. i love how snover does some little stomps or how cottonee bounces up and down
i did also do a randomizer platinum run and that was pretty fun too, so i might do another platinum run down the road

I would say yes, but mostly because there's only so many games in this series, there's only so many games I actually own or have reasonable access to (don't have or plan to get Switch), and third versions tend to make a lot feel obsolete, it may not necessarily be the case but it can feel that way. I've never done the same game with the same rules twice, but I've revisited Emerald, Platinum and BW2 a lot

Do you mean multiple successful runs? I've made ~20 attempts at white over the past 2-3 weeks with them all ending at Lenora (due to extreme handicaps).

I guess my runs are just super infrequent.
To my memory I've only attempted 16 runs total since I started doing them in 2009, and I usually try to run a game I haven't had a successful run in before, or haven't played in a long time, and of those 16 I only had 10 that I actually completed.

Rat Run HGSS Update

Breezed the first Gym however I realised how frail my Rats are defensively.

Grinding was alright till after the Rival fight in Azalea Town. Went to the gym with two rats a Lv 16 each with the others at Lv 13.

They all died as fodder however one managed to get a paralysis with Body Slam.

Was pretty lucky at the Sycther kept killing me easily with it's U-Turn.

Pretty good run except for needing to find good grinding spots.

Onwards to Goldenrod!

Its possible, just rough. You get Blaziken, Hariyama, and Breloom early, then Machamp and Heracross later, all good mons.
Brawly would actually be a pretty tough early boss though, and Winona/Tate and Liza sound hellish assuming you're not just massively overlevelling them.

Using the Universal Pokemon Randomizer allows trade evos to be disabled and replaced with regular level up (like golem/alakazam), or levelling up with the evo item, for ones that need them (ie; electivire/dusknoir) from gens 1-5.

UPR should work with gen 6 and beyond. If not, while it is more inconvenient, you can use PKHex to "evolve" a trade evo once it gets to the right level.
Unfortunately for events I don't think there's anything besides using PKHex to get any necessary items/mons you need or using cheats to unlock specific events. At least not for Gen 5 and onward anyway, there's hacks like FRLG+ or Emerald Cross/Heliodor that do it for the GBA games

Christ the grinding in this hack is a fucking chore. It's taken way longer than it should have to get from gym 6 to 7 and the gym battles all being double or triple battles just makes me want to cry.

Either way that's 7 gyms down, one more to go and hopefully soon I'll be able to put this one to bed because it honestly hasn't been that fun. Kinda trivialised the Brycen fight by immediately turning hail into rain and Glaceon locking itself into Shadow Ball was lovely. Crusty was sacked, I have tonne of bug types and he just seemed the least useful at a glance and I wanted to give Jerems.Jr a free switch in. Now time to level Dave up 20 times so I have something to take down Iris' Gyarados, yay!

>>50619194
My god that is some serious potential you've picked up in the early game! Randomisers never fail to upset me so it's nice to see some good encounters coming out of one.

Jean Ango got destroyed by a Throh Revenge

I don't know what to do with my Shelmet, am I allowed to catch a Karrablast for the sole purpose of evolving Ulti?
I made impossible evos possible but I still need to have a Karrablast in my team for Shelmet to evolve

I got an egg on route 17/18, not sure, got it before encountering the Dwebble, don't really know what the rules on eggs are

Was thinking of doing a slightly modified nuzlocke, tentatively called a dominolocke
Same basic rules as a nuzlcoke, with an addendum to catching limiting myself to mons that share a type of something I previously caught- i.e. if I started with mudkip in RSE, I'd be able to catch a wingull, then either a ground or flying type, (or a mon that evolves into something with those types), etc. If a first encounter on a new route is something I currently can't match up, then its forfeit.
I'd be surprised if something like this hasn't been attempted before so any suggested tweaks to the ruleset are welcome. Was thinking of trying it out with either Emerald or Platinum, since I know those games fairly well and it'd give me a decent choice of duel type starters.

I would personally say you can't evolve Shelmet unless you're lucky enough to catch Karrablast. You wouldn't evolve something without the necessary item to evolve it, the principle shouldn't change if you need a certain Pokemon. Though it is your run, play as you want.
Have run ripping apart late game with Haxorus and Jellicent, fantastic mons
>>50625263
This is a cool idea but I feel like you'd just end up doing a monolocke with some extra steps, especially if you choose a water starter as most of your encounters would just be from surfing or fishing, with fire being fairly limiting and grass being a mixed bag.

I generally use the first Pokémon i catch in Nuzlockes and only switch when one dies, though i don'tthink that will work whenever i get to Cynthia.

I beat Red with no deaths. The order he sent out his pokemon didn't make a lot of sense but it probably made things easier for me so I won't complain.
>kill his pikachu with quagsire
>he sends in venusaur
>kill venusaur with ariados
>he sends in snorlax instead of charizard or espeon for some reason
>get 2 screeches off against snorlax while he amnesias
>switch to magcargo and kill snorlax
>he sends in espeon instead of blastoise
>switch to slowbro and amnesia twice then rest
>sweep the rest of his team with slowbro

>>50625600
Cool team, good luck.

>>50625334
I usually try to use Pokemon I've never used before, or haven't used in a long time. For example, I've never used an Ariados or Magcargo on an in game team before this run and I don't think I've used Meganium since HGSS were new.

definitely faves, i haven't done many nuzlockes but i want to win with the pokemon i like
but i only like about 10% of pokemon so i usually just pick what i need at the moment
but if i got one of my very favorites i'll try to work them into every team i have unless it's actual suicide

>>50624907
would that be my route 17 encounter in this case? or route 18
if 17 then i can keep both dwebble and whatever is in the egg
if it's 18 then I need to release the dwebble, which sucks since i want to use it at least once

>>50625685
i really really wanna use accelgor since it's such a cool pokemon, i think i can justify it as a roleplaying thing
like in game after catching a shelmet, i take Ulti out on a trip to find a karrablast to befriend and give it her shell

Thats fair.
Unfortunately you do get the egg on route 18, but you can always just choose to use the rule where your egg encounter is decided by where you hatched it

agree with other anon. the fix is pretty easy i think though:
>make it a randomizer (only for wilds, don't need to for trainers) that edits wilds to be of similar strength, no legends, etc etc
>instead of forfeiting the encounter if you don't get it on the first encounter, extend it to 5 encounters before you have to forfeit the route
that way you can get some actual variety and don't get punished unnecessarily instead of getting keyholed into a specific type like water or normal

WE FUCKING DID IT!!! WE MORBED THE SHIT OUT OF THOSE BASTARDS!!! I'M FINALLY DONE WITH EMERALD HAHAHAHAHA!!!

A quick rundown of how we did it:
>Sydney
Led with Eleto before switching to Morbius to avoid the Intimidate, Double Kick sweep insues.
>Phoebe
Just used Morbhead to spam Shadow Ball until she died, Morbhead got confused once but that's why I gave him a Persim Berry.
>Glacia
I was scared for this one, but I just set up three Bulk Ups on Morbius before sweeping her team. Got paralyzed, but I gave Morbius a Cheri Berry... He then got paralyzed again, so there went my one charge of a status item. But they all died in one Double Kick after setting up anyways, so the Hail couldn't burn me down.
>Drake
This one was a little tricky, but Sparma set burned down most of the team with Ice Beam before the Kingdra came in. That one took some pivoting, but Gucci managed to finish it off. Before switching back to Sparma, I Confuse Rayed the Flygon, which successfully covered the switch & Ice Beam KO. Salamence ALMOST took down Sparma but one Ice Beam finished it off.
>Wallace
This one was the toughie. Gardener managed to take out the Wailord & Milotic easily (avoiding a Toxic with a Pecha Berry then a miss). Then Tentacruel came out and I had to use Eleto to kill it; Eleto got poisoned after taking one with a berry, but that didn't stop her from kiling both the Tentacruel and the Gyarados. Then the Ludicolo came out, who's the real motherfucker on this team. I had taught Sparma Aerial Ace to counter the Double Team spam, but the damage wasn't enough. I had to try to burn him down (and through as many of Wallace's items as possible), but it didn't come fast enough, and Sparma fell in battle. Rest in peace, champ. Gardener came back in, landed the clutch Sludge Bomb (he had a few stacks of Double Team up so we missed a few, but it was enough). He then outspeed the Whiscash, landed the Petal Dance, and it's all over. BOOM. CHAMPS BAYBEE.

>>50626534 Cont.
Losing Sparma right at the end was heartbreaking, especially since she and Gardener were co-MVPs. It sucks but hey, in Nuzlockes sometimes you gotta make sacrifices at the Champion. Morbius also got a shocking amount of use in this Elite Four, which I didn't expect. Good for you, boss.

And here's the status of the team post finale. May the dead rest in peace, and may Morbius, Gardener, Gucci, Morbhead, and Eleto (along with Blaziken, Bellossom, Grumpig, Banette, and Lanturn in general) enjoy retirement.
In any case, we're finally, FINALLY done with Gen III. Up next is a lack of good pacing, absence of fire-types, and a slow as fuck engine. That's right: we're playing Diamond. (Also: I've never emulated a DS game before. What's y'all's preferred emulator for PC?)

>>50625837
Coongrats! I used a Magcargo in that fight too, and it was surprisingly effective. Made me retract some of the slander I've levied at the fucker.
>>50625697
I forgot to update it on the generator, but I did end up taking your advice. Helped vs. Drake's Kingdra.

DesMume is not that great, desu. Especially that devs behind it are massive fags that refuse to look into Gen IV emulation issues because... ppl are asking about it for too long and devs just don't want to do it out of spite lol.
MelonDS while bit more resource demanding still should be okay for most modern PCs and has no major emulation issues. It's far better option.

Rat Run HGSS Update

Whitney was only a struggle due the Miltank been pretty bulky. It got locked into Rollout so we managed to out sped it before Whitney could heal it.

Went up and trained before Ecruteak but when I did I cleared the Burnt Tower and Gym Trainers with only a few hiccups. Gunna train up around Mt Motar and a few other places that I have access to.

Rattata 6 now has a pretty nice learnset seeing as I'm getting access to more moves.

- Dig
- Strength
- Rock Smash
- Flame Wheel

Once I get Pluck and Thief I'll teach U-Turn so I can steal items and switch out before I die.

>Anning the Aggron just straight up beat the shit out of every dark type with brick break throught the whole fight against Sidney
>Girarig the Girafarig crunch most of the Ghost and Noko the Donphan dealt with Sableye and a Bannette in Phoebe's Battle
>Anning dealt with all the Glalie's with brick break and iron tail and Elecbomb the Electrode with all the Sealeo and the Walrein in Glacia's Battle
>Holy fucking shit Moby the Wailord just fucking destroyed Drake's Team, just 2 turns of setting up amnesia and nothing could touch her even salamance couldn't do shit when for some reason started attacking her with flamethrower like a retard
and there was Steven holy fucking shit that was beautiful
>Girarig started to set up calm mind for 3 turns while skarmory spam spikes and toxic
>one baton pass and Moby absolutely destroyed everything, including metagross basically finishing the run!
also Woobly didn't do anything sadly, He was just there for moral support I guess

I led with Pompul against Wake's Gyarados, hoping either Thunder Wave would one shot or she could take a Bite.

Ice Fang and Brine followed, though Missy had none of it and crit Thunder Fang, leaving Belba to Mega Drain Quagsire for the win.
Also, Klar evolved, just in case things went south. Now, we can move on to the Galactic Warehouse.

Well 1 death became 2, as during my grinding for the Gym, my Gurdurr encountered a UTranquil, tried to escape, wouldn't let me leave and the fucker used Air Cutter and critted her from near-full health to death. The moral of the story is that don't underestimate the shitty birds. A real big loss considering Gurduur had Guts too.

Training up my Darumaka now.

Okay, so I started an Autismlocke last thread with Red version, but got sidetracked. I'm now picking it up after a few days where I left off... or so I thought. I could have SWORN that I saved before closing Gambatte, but I had started back right before Brock. Previously, I had made it to just before Mt. Moon, so as much as I absolutely hate replaying in a Nuzlocke, I decided to play through as close to the first time as possible. The only mon I had lost was Kakuna who I released this time before even getting to Brock, just to be fair, but I forgot that I used him as a sort of fodder the first time. I managed to get back to where I was pretty much exactly the way I had the first time and luckily with no extra deaths (what I was most worried about with replaying). I caught two more mons and I'm about to make the trek through Mt. Moon for real this time. Wish me luck on the dreaded Rocket Raticate.

tl;dr Always make sure to save your nuzlockes periodically anons. I'm still not sure if this was a gambatte issue or not and I'm kind of sus now about saving and quitting after this session. Anyone else had an issue with gambatte loading earlier save states than its supposed to upon loading a game?

I knew it, I fuckin KNEW it. I knew the Raticate would claim someone. In hindsight, I should have just evolved Nidorino right away. I just like to have him stay in his middle stage for a little while, for maximum kino, but there is literally no logical reason to not just evolve him right as soon as you get a Moon Stone. Damn it. RIP POPEYE'S, your death was another totally avoidable tragedy caused by my idiosyncratic way of playing this children's game. I'll miss you buddy. So close to evolution too...

Anyway, I've pretty much made it out of this stupid cave. I'm still sad about losing Pidgey, so help me out anons: Helix or Dome fossil? I probably won't end up using either one anyway, so just pick your favorite. Who knows, with my subpar decision-making maybe they'll make it onto the team eventually.

So we meet our first death of the run.
Surge himself was a pushover, but a random gym trainer's Grimer got DiggleBoop with a crit sluge. .
Now's where things get interesting. The special rules have kicked in, and this is a randomizer. Who the hell knows when I'll find another ground-type to put in that slot.
In unrelated news, my first attempt at fishing managed to bring up a Gardevoir. Which immediately teleported. I'm sure there's a joke for the comic somewhere in there, and the situation generally amused me

Cheers. It's fun having to think more about trainers and gym leaders.

As for Level Caps I've beaten the first four gyms at their Aces level or lower which is pretty decent. I think though now I'll need to be a bit higher to stand a chance against latter gyms.

As for items in battle I often can't or I'll be stuck in a loop of healing. I used awakenings to exploit Dream Eater at Mortys gym as it couldn't do much other than Sucker Punch.

I got Facade from the Goldenrod Lottery so it might be time to start hitting those big brain Guts strats.

Still training for Chuck. Hoping to get in quick and survive those deadly punches.

I'm a psychopath so I basically average the level of all the Elite Four + Champion, and round up, and set that up as my level cap. I set my level cap as the average of the gym leader's team though, so to be a little more generous, you could average out the level of their aces.

And so
my journey through Sinnoh begins! (now with pokemon battle and text speed up! god bless twilightmenu)
I had a good start that suddenly gave me a grim reminder in why nuzlockes are painful
>Got a chimchar that named Kanbaru
>bitch basically destroyed everything in her path including the first gym (she also evolved on the way to the 1st gym)
>also caught some mons on the way to floaroma town (bidoof, starly, zubat, machop)
>reached valley windworks where I caught a shellos
>train a little bit to have the team be at least close to Kanaru
>after that had to do all the team galactic ordeal
>reach mars
>thinking this was going to be a piece of cake I use my now evolved staravia to growl a couple of times at it and then start hitting it
>little did I know Purugly crit my staravia and killed it in a single hit
>Kanbaru dealt with the bastard and won
Now I'm on my way to Eternia forest and then to the city, I guess this wouldn't be a nuzlocke of mine if I didn't get a bird killed at least once in a game right? why does this always happens to me? ;_;
anyways, onwards!

also I want to say this generationlocke has another rule that I couldn't make use of in the gen 2 and 3 games (due to being in CIAs), in that I can use old members of my teams (all at level 5 and unevolved but they keep the moves they used at the champion fight) but only after a certain checkpoint, in this case up until I clear all the gyms, just to not make it that easy for me, this is something I wanted to do since I wanted to do this generetionlocke I hope none of you mind.

My team's changed a lot in the last two gyms. Everyone fully evolved, I lost two to Elesa (Krokorok and Lucario), and had two unfortunate accidents with Ground types.
That being said the team feels a lot more complete now. Accelgor is a great addition and makes for a fantastic pivot. A physical wall in Weezing and a special wall in Musharna. A physical attacker in Samurott, a special attacker in Cofagrigus. Whimsicott works as another physical wall and is great for stalling with Cotton Guard + Leech Seed + Giga Drain.
Clay went down easily, was basically ripped apart by Whimsicott and Samurott. Time to head for Skyla.
>>50641097
Timid or not this Pawniard is gonna hit hard, especially once it evolves. Nice addition.
>>50640128
Nice solid team. Love seeing Jumpluff especially, that's not one I see used often. Will you be evolving Kadabra/Graveler?
>>50639294
Twilightmenu is a godsend. Gen 4 would be unbearable without it. Machop/Zubat is an incredible combo if you can get them evolved. Good luck.

But for now, I get to run around aimlessly in a dark cave because I don't have flash, and need 8 more pokemon to get it from Oak's Aide.

the plan is to set up a dragon dance sweep with Ulti and Momo

Beat Gardenia and cleared the Team Galactic Building without casualty and much of a problem. Mars went down easy in the Windworks via Onix just tanking her Purugly, Staravia just decimated the Eterna Gym, and Onix managed to tank enough of Jupiter's Skuntank's moves while screeching to let Maverick switch in and finish the job. I'm unsure if I'm going to keep Slider in the long run, or if I want to switch out Phoenix for something like a Murkrow to save the Starly line for Platinum or something, but I think at the moment Maverick, Hollywood, and Jester are mainstays provided something terrible doesn't happen.

2. many times failed to one shot and nearly died
3. weak to earthquake
4. neutral to stone edge
5. weak to 3 out of 4 members
6. the one he supposedly counters has 3 pokemon with flying/ground attacks
7. two of those are likely to land hits, liepard definitely out-speeds and has fake out, and is likely to crit
8. krookodile has fighting coverage without being getting one shot by earthquake and resists stone edge, has a better ability and psychic immunity and resistence to the other 2 members
emboar is more useful against n and ghestis who have dark/steel/rock types
oh and it's not the end yet, iirc i can switch up my team and train a bit more after the e4 and before fighting n/ghestis
they got different level caps than the e4

decided to try a hc nuzlocke of pokemon x since it had been a long time since i last tried a gen 6 run. pretty pumped because i get to use pokemon i haven't used in a long time
had an INCREDIBLY close call against a random trainer's kadabra. thought i would have to sacrifice razzle but she managed to hit a stun spore and even WITH synchronized paralysis, she managed to struggle bug to victory while the kadabra kept getting fully paralyzed

i'd try to save staraptor for platinum 100%. i remember doing the distortion world cyrus fight and i only escaped with a luxray so you really want good mons for fights like those in platinum

To whichever dev on the team decided to place a double battle with Gyarados and Raichu on Route 210: you're a dick.
No i didn't lose anyone, but it's still a dick move.
Anyway, the Cyrus battle in the ruins went well, Klar and Zyrdon handled it well enough, and now we're on route to Canalave City.
>>50649408
You'll definitely want to save some early game mons for Platinum, Shinx for Fantina at least.

Citra is the main emulator for all 3DS games, Yuzu I believe is the go-to for Switch.
There are no romhacks like this in Gen 7 and onward, hacking for those games just isn't at that level yet. You can run a randomizer on those games but there's nothing with all 898.
There's an FRLG randomizer hack with all 898 if that still sounds interesting.

Speaking of Skarmory, guess who used their Nosepass with Magnet Pull to maximize their chance to catch a Skarmory outside Twist Mountain in the dark green grass???

Best part is that Skarmory is Naughty nature too.

Wiped at Bugsy. I lead with intimidate Ekans (My ace for the battle) who only got the chance to sting once before being crit into the red. My Chikorita and Hoppip couldn't get their poison procs off either so it was just Pidgey, Spearow and Rattata who couldn't stand up to the quick attack barrage. My biggest fuckup was critting my geodude encounter because that 4x rock weakness really takes the edge off. Second attempt is already looking better.

>>50648137
I've never been to into Weedle. He feels redundant in a game where you can potentially get access to Chikorita, Ekans and Hoppip (the first two being superior and the latter being debatable).

>>50649408
Hoppip is one to store and bring back out once he can get LS. It's a wasted slot otherwise because it's simply too weak to rotate in on and then you get caught in the loop of synthesis, damage, synthesis etc.

>>50650712
The northern part of R210 has some chops on it. The Ace trainer double battle can catch you out if you've suffered a loss and haven't brought your team back up to scratch and I swear I always forget the one veteran at the end so I end up fighting him at half health. Cyrus is pretty much a pushover until Distortion World but you're on easy street until then with Infernape and Bastiodon.

bugsy with no cyndaquil or geodude is rough. losing geodude in hgss is ESPECIALLY rough considering it's one of the consistent answers to lance's flying types. not having a graveler/golem against lance in my rocketlocke was probably what fucked me in that run
>I've never been to into Weedle.
personally i'm a fan of the early bug types since they're good in the early game and expendable fodder in the later game. as long as your opponent doesn't have setup moves you can usually just send them out and not care if they die, keeping your other pokemon safe for more important battles. i used butterfree in hgss and that thing absolutely fucked up every single rocket grunt in sight
also what on earth are you doing. put that rattata back on your team and get rid of ledyba

Huh, I've never considered that. I usually switch out Geodude post-Whitney since it starts to fall off and the movesets start to include more types that it doesn't resist. Also, nothing pisses me off more than having second-tier evolutions knowing that I can't reach the third-tier due to trade restrictions.

>Ledyba
I've never got past Whitney in SS but Ledian seems like it might be fun and versatile to keep around so I want to see how far I can get with it. Also, AFAIK Weedle pales in comparison to Butterfree due to the latter's access to compound eyes, various spores and psybeam.

Took a little break before fighting Volkner.

>Volkner
I sent out Rubicher to fight Raichu, but because i'm retarded, I thought Petal Dance was physical. So after Rubi set up the sun, it Danced away but Light Screen fucked it all up. After Rubi was chipped down to 37hp, I sent out Boachcash to finish Raichu, but it took 2 Brick Breaks in the process. Octillery got sent out and I switched in Dreamagius who took it out with Shadow Balls.
>Luxray
I sent out Boachcash on a Crunch, luckily the Sitrus berry made it so BC could take another Crunch, so after 2 EQs, Luxray went down. Ampipom literally can't touch BC, so the Beacon Badge was in the pocket.

Now for some reason I am only interested in Ice types on smogon OU. its pretty hard to make it past 1400 but the reactions from freeze status, the use of specs freeze dry on toxappex which always throws ppl off, and Aurora Veil just make it the most satisfying thing ever.

Does having a certain Pokemon on your team actually reduce the likelihood that you encounter it? I've heard people say that you can use it to influence encounter rates but it's sounds like "mash A while capturing to increase your capture rate".

I'm fairly confident for the League, with some minor fear for Flint, Lucian and mostly Cynthia. Zongzor having Heatproof instead of Levitate and Shinray having fucking Rivalry are just two of the things that make me scared.

>>50659399
Bibarel is hands down the best HM slave in any generation. Heatproof might be more useful than Levitate since it would help with Flint (only his Infernape has a ground move). Might want to invest in getting Rain Dance to help with Thunderbolt accuracy AND to mitigate Flint's Sunny Day+Solarbeam combos.

you probably didn't need to sacrifice rattata in the brock fight since you can use your charmander's ember on onix for good damage, but your team's still pretty strong without raticate, early nidoking destroys a lot

Well, I managed to get past Whitney. Unfortunately, I wiped at the second rival battle in the Burnt tower. A combination of Thunder Wave, Supersonic and Sonic Boom really did a number on my team. I should have went in at lvl. 20 instead of 19. Back to White I guess.

Lately I've been seeing threads about people calling themselves "hardcore/pro nuzlockers". It all sounds bullshit but it got me thinking what does /nuzgen/ consider as pro, or really just highly skilled, at nuzlocking? Is it the amount of runs someone completed? The types of rules or games they used? Number of years spent nuzlocking?

Calling yourself a "hardcore/pro Nuzlocker" just feels wrong. For me, a Nuzlocke as a way to challenge myself and gain an appreciation for Pokémon i otherwise wouldn't. Making it a job, or whatever being hardcore or pro entails, just feels soulless to me.

And that's another gym down.
Her Steelix was a war of attrition, especially since I'd forgotten to take Gidget off my team after needing a surf slave. Ultimately it devolved into a slap fight between it and cheersquad. With no healing items, and no PP for psychic. In a sandstorm.
But otherwise, nothing too challenging.

So I decided to go with the Dome Fossil because whatever, probably won't matter anyway. I caught and Ekans and then took on the rival (which I forgot I named "FED" kek). He was honestly much easier than he usually is for me, however tragedy struck on the 3rd trainer on Nugget Bridge and I lost FALCO. I swear I have a curse with flying types in my gen 1 nuzlockes... Anyway I caught an Oddish to fill the void left by Spearow and cleaned up the uppermost routes of trainers, helping Bill in the process.

Now I've beaten both gym trainers and am taking on Misty right now. I personally consider Misty the hardest gym in the game, especially since I picked Charmander, and this battle has ended many a nuzlocke for me. Luckily I caught Oddish or things would be much more scary. Wish me luck!

>Grimsley
I led with Ulti, used Bug Buzz hoping to OHKO
Didn't OHKO, almost died to Scrafty
Grimsley healed Scrafty, I just spammed BUg Buzz until it died
Yawn on Liepard, Liepard finished off Ulti
Shell Smash Pica swept the rest
(Should have just gone with Yawn > U-Turn)
>Shauntal
Whitebeard spams Shadow Ball until Cofagrigus and Jellicent are dead
But Cofagrigus survived the first SB and landed a Will-O-Wisp and by the time the first two died he had 14hp left
Switched to Crocodile and Chendalure landed a Fire Blast and nearly OHKO'd
Crocodile then swept with Earthquake and Crunch
(Nearly lost two valuable members when I could have just used Crocodile from the start and probably win right there)
>Marshal
Led with Momo, set up Sword Dance, Bulldoze lowers my speed
OHKO Throh with Dragon Claw
Sawk misses Stone Edge, Dragon Claw OHKO
Conkeldurr is slower and gets one shot as well
Mienshao outspeeds and nearly kills Momo with a Hi-Jump Kick, and then died to a Dragon Claw
(I didn't play around the crit, but didn't get punished for it)
>Caitlin
Led with Crocodile
Reu survived a crunch with 1HP, missed a Focus Blast (Honestly forgot she had that move)
I spam Crunches until the Reu dies (She wasted 2 potions)
Sigilyph is next, Ice Beam takes more than half of Croc's HP
Croc OHKO's with Crunch
Musharna doesn't scare me so I stay in with a Crunch, survived with 1hp and Shadow Ball does chip damage
Another Crunch puts Musharna to sleep
Crunch nearly kills Gothitelle and she sets up Calm Mind
Second Crunch finishes the job
(Crocodile is almost lv52 now)

I could've played that a lot better and it sucks that I don't have a Yawn user for N and Ghestis
Going to eat before training everyone to lv54

So Misty was surprisingly pretty easy. I was a bit worried when I missed the first Stun Spore on her Starmie and got crit tackled afterward, but she got full para'd twice which gave me time to heal and ultimately take the victory. I put SWOOPZ in the day care since he wasn't doing a whole lot on the team anyway, and I filled his spot with a newly caught Mankey. I think every Pokemon on Route 6 is one that I've already caught, so I might as well catch another Pidgey to replace my precious POPEYES.

I'll update next after going through the ass-load of trainers from here to the S.S. Anne, probably right before/after the next rival battle, sooner if a team member faints (but hopefully that doesn't happen). I really like this part of the game because I feel like things finally start to open up some exploration-wise. super comfy. Okay, will update again when the next thing of note happens.

It depends because you get the box legendary before fighting N. At that point I was so annoyed at being stuck in the castle AND the fact that N uses the opposite legendary, I just rolled with the legendary in my team. I can't remember their team comps but N or Ghestis has a Zoroark which comes out disguised as another pokemon so watch out for an unexpected 2x hit.

woo, finally finished grant's gym which ended up being kind of a cakewalk with both capri, croak and marshmallow. didn't even need the steelix trade
unfortunately i did kill my kangaskhan encounter and accidentally pressed run on a sandile encounter, so not really doing the best right now but i'll probably find a trapinch that can be useful later

>>50669428
i guess someone with good game knowledge and does runs with challenging rules or a challenging game. pretty sure the guy who claims he's a pro nuzlocker only does it because it's a more attractive title than "guy who is good at doing a challenge run for a children's game"

>>50672517
you could hack rare candies in, it's pretty frustrating to lose a run purely because of "lol didn't grind enough".
if not, then hard to say. i think you 100% bring emboar to deal with n's zoroark (who, fyi, loves turning into the klinklang in the back), vanilluxe, and klinklang, along with ghetsis' boufallant, hydreigon, and bisharp
sawsbuck or leavanny can do ok as a grass type. more inclined towards sawsbuck because sawsbuck is better against ghetsis' cofagrigus, as it's immune to shadow ball, and is pretty ok at dealing with N's carracosta and can potentially OHKO ghetsis' seismitoad (which does know sludge wave, so watch out)
from there, all that's left is reshiram/zekrom, archeops and the eelektross. i'd bring either gigalith and zebstrika for the archeops, and gigalith deals with the eelektross decently well
from there, druddigon should be decent as a filler and for dealing with zekrom and reshiram (because they don't have dragon moves lol)
so emboar + sawsbuck + zebstrika + gigalith + druddigon + free space of your choice

I guess I forgot to mention until now that I encountered a Metapod on Route 25 way back and accidentally killed it. What a shame, I'm sure that Metapod would have been a solid member by now /sarcasm.

Anyway, I picked up some new friends and proceeded to stomp the shit out of every trainer that crossed my path, including the S.S. Anne Rival, who was a complete push-over. I guess one handicap to make things more interesting as I enter the Vermilion Gym: Nidoking got over-leveled, so to retain muh honoru I have boxed him for this gym. I'll scoop him back up afterwards, but I like my odds with Charmeleon now that he's got Dig. Wish me luck!

And just like that I've got badge #3. I'm really happy with how this team is coming along. Every member is pulling their own weight, and I actually have a bird that made it to evolution, so yay.

Question: Should I teach Thunderbolt to Nidoking or do you guys think that I should hang on to it for now? I could get a cool electric type in the future, but the utiliy of being able to take out birds and water types right now seems tantalizing as well. I suppose Nidoking can take out just about anything with just Thrash and Water Gun as it is. Hmm... not sure...

Kizaru spams Dragon Breath as N spams Fusion Flare
Not surprisingly the one with the super effective move wins
N sends out Vanniluxe, I switch to Whitebeard on a Blizzard miss
Vanniluxe outspeeds and sets up Hail, I use Shadow Ball
N uses Ice moves on a water type, Vanniluxe dies with Whitebeard at about 50% H (he also levels up)
He sends out Klinklang, he shoots a thunderbolt as I use recover
2 more thunderbolts, 2 more recovers
With Whitebeard at full HP I switch to Sugar on a Thunderbolt to set up a Light Screen
With a Light Screen up it's easy Recover any lost HP
and then a crit Flash Cannon tears Sugar apart
I sent out Momo, Dragon Dance on a Recharge
Bulldoze kills the Klinklang
Momo then sweeps the rest
>Ghestis
Protect right away
Then we trade a Shadow Ball against a Fusion Bolt
Another Fusion Bolt, Toxic misses
Full Restore, another Fusion Bolt
Another Fusion Bolt, Toxic hits
Another protect, and then I hit with a Dragon Breath and
Bouffalant comes out but by that time Kizaru is almost dead, so I just use Dragon Breath one last time before dying to Earthquake
I send out Momo, set up 1 Dragon Dance
Almost die to a single Head Charge
Dragon Claw kills Bouffalant, Seismitoad, Hydreigon.
Bulldoze leaves Bisharp with 1hp
Bisharp kills Momo
I send out Pica, set up Shell Smash and nearly die to a Stone Edge
Then Pica kills Bisharp, brings Elektross into the red and dies
I send out Crocodile and use EMBARGO
Fuck your healing items Ghestis

Sentimentality. It was one of the original 6 members of my team for this run, I'm not just going to drop it because I caught a legendary/psuedo, something objectively better.
One of the main points of a nuzlocke is getting attached to your party members. It's why I brought a Raticate to the elite 4 in my run of red, or the cosplay pikachu to my run of
A nuzlocke is a very subjective experience, I don't always use something because it's objectively better than what I'm currently using. Outside of death, not having something compatible with a necessary HM, or feeling like I've used something too many times in past playthroughs, my team doesn't really change much beyond those original 6 members.

In 99% of trainer battles, Megas are OP. In XY only Lysandre and Diantha use Megas and in ORAS only Maxie/Archie, Wally, and Steven use Megas (all only before postgame). My rule typically is to only use Megas when the opposing trainer uses them to make it more fair.

Turns out the grind game took longer than expected. I want to get everyone to a comfortable 55 before taking on the elite 4, so I guess I'll be doing that for awhile.
Anyone know some good, high-level trainers to use the VS Seeker on? I'm assuming the randomizer throws off what are otherwise optimal trainers to target with that, and victory road is proving a bit too dangerous to just grind on encounters, with Wobuffet on the encounter table, I found.
As a chartless update, Nemnomiums the Ryhorn is now a level 51 Rhydon. And it was a bitch because she nearly died to anything that so much as sweat on it, and being too slow to run away which meant I had to switch and then run, etc.
Everyone else has hit level 50 or higher now. I'm just focusing on Nemnomiums first.

Yeah, I know high-exp pokemon are better than just high-level stuff. But since it's a randomizer, I figured I'd have a chance to get the most EXP possible if the highest level things available also got randomized into something worth a lot of exp too.
I think the only blissey encounter I had this run was pretty low leveled. I still got over 1000 exp out of it, but must be a pretty low-rate encounter on its route, and the other encounters in the area were a bunch of 300-400 exp pokemon and it didn't seem worth it in the long run.
The bottom of victory road is full of tyranitars and metagross, which would have been my main grinding targets, but Wobuffet is on that encounter table and so are some decently strong water and grass trypes, which are absolutely deadly for a rhydon. I got hit by a bubble from a random Krabby and it almost 1-shot Nemnomiums..
So far my most consistent grinding spots have been in the Sevii islands. With Latias and Ragisteel at the bond bridge pretty consistently and fishing at Kindle Road has Lugia, Aggron, Swellow and Rapidash, so I can get a pretty consistent 500-900 exp in those places without there being much risk since they're all pretty low leveled.
I'll try the bikers though.

since I'm doing one right now I can tell you it hasn't been that bad so far but I can see it becoming a double edged sword
on one hand if you won the last game with at least 1 common mon, it's going to be easier to find more rare pokemon
but on the other you might find places that have no new mon to capture and thus become kinda like a dead zone for your run
but overall it's hardly a problem specially for games like BW since it's full of new pokemon to catch

Haven't been here in a while, good to see the threads still working well! I think I'll be starting up a pseudo-genlocke. More of a "Regionlocke" across my favored era, the GBA/DS era, hitting Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Unova. So in order,
1. FireRed
2. HeartGold
3. Emerald
4. Platinum
5. Black2

To spice things up a bit, since I've done most of these games before, I'll be doing light randomization of the wild Pokemon to keep within the rough power level, but make some neat teams available. And of course, Champ Clause will be in full effect. Finishing off with B2 is a gamble, since I've never actually played B2W2 past the third gym. Hoping to have a good time.

Update: I got a Fighting type!
A Tyrogue. Who only learns Tackle until it evolves at 20. Brock is going to ruin my shit.

As expected, we didn't get out of that one unscathed. With literally nothing of significant reliable use against Brock, I made the decision to put Etna the Slugma in on his Onix, hoping for a poison proc from Smog, and the chance to switch out.

We got the poison proc. We didn't get the switch. Bind spelled Etna's death, but she paved the way for Tonkatsu the Spoink to finish the Onix off with a lucky high roll on Psywave.

Onward to Mt. Moon.

So as the new OP, I feel like I should ask this since we're nearing the bump limit again.
Should I make a new thread immediately after we hit the bump limit, or should I wait for awhile afterward, when the thread is closer to page 10?

/vp/ isn't really fast enough to wait until the thread gets bumped off the catalog and nothing interesting is currently happening on the board, would just make the new thread

This is an argument in favor of waiting, not against. We don't need to be on the front page, and making a new thread immediately will clog the catalog unnecessarily, since the old one will be up for hours. Wait until at least page 8.

What do you do after finishing a nuzlocke? Do you reset the game or keep playing it under nuzlocke rules ad infinitum?

realized i overleveled capri, so whoops
grinding magikarp is a pain but grinding friendship is even worse. luckily the super training has friendship boxing bags so it's not terrible but still tedious

>>50697824
wonder if you could've just psywaved the onix to death without smogging. onix' special defense is piss poor but i'm not sure if spoink would've been able to do much and take the damage

>>50699412
just reset. i don't really do postgame stuff in nuzlockes

Psywave is just way too unpredictable, and if I'm not mistaken, does flat (but random) damage without taking type resistances or weaknesses, user's SpAtt, and target's SpDef into account at all. The only thing at ALL that gets taken into account is Dark type's complete immunity. So it just wasn't worth the risk, in my mind. Slugma wasn't exactly going to be a long-lived member regardless.

Doing an ultimate monotype nuzlocke with fire. Also on a one off I did a FireRed/LeafGreen run with a pseudo Fairy types and it was possible with only region oriented Pokémon.
