Diamond update:
I FINALLY caught a semi-decent and fun mon to fill out the fifth spot: DINGLE the stunky. He still needs some grinding to be worthwhile. Byron was defeated with BLOOP the bronzong, which he has surprisingly little counter against.
As mentioned, Riley killed off a shiny onix on Iron Island, so that kinda sucks. Also caught some other stuff after i got Surf, but nothing amazing. Catch diversity really is a joke in Sinnoh. Every single grass area has a bibarel, a staraptor, and/or a graveler ass the most common encounter, and every single cave has a golbat, graveler, and/or machoke as the most common encounter, and every single water area has wingulls and tentacools as the most common encounters. Even interesting thematic areas like iron island literally only has 1 (one) single steel-type encounter with a 10% encounter rate. Sad!

>Distortion world Cyrus
Houndoom goes down to a single CC from Chimcarl. Cyrus sends out Gyarados. Gyarados used EQ, but I sent out my MagiKyle so it didn't effect me. I send out PoryGarret on a (crit naturally) Ice Fang that does about 50%. Garret takes out Gyarados with a Discharge.
>Honchkrow
comes in. While it isn't Cyrus' ace, it IS the pokémon I was most afraid off. I go for Discharge and! I forgot to remove Choice Specs from Dennis to Garret. That was enough for Honchkrow to live and hit it with it's powerful Drill Peck. Garret. Lived. on. 11hp. While Cyrus healed, I went for Discharge again killing it. Weavile comes in and fakes out Carl. Then it goes for, naturally, a crit Ice Punch which does little over half. CC takes it out. Lastly Crobat comes out, but two Ice Fangs took it out.

I purposely had BiDrew on exp. share as not to overlevel my guys before Volkner. And after all that I AGAIN FORGOT THE ROUTE BELOW SANDGEM

I actually really like this party. It was an effort to un-trade Farfetch'd so now the game doesn't give it 50% more EXP, which sounds good but it limits his use throughout the game as I learned with Mr. Mime.
Does anyone else count "Trade" as a single encounter? If I find a trade pokemon as a first encounter of a route I can trade one of them a playthrough regardless of the place where the trade takes place.

>>50783415
Crobat is pretty tanky :^). Diamond/Pearl has way less EQ fuckery in the E4 than Plat, so it should be good.

I don't know. Nuzlockes are also built on the idea of using pokémon you'd otherwise not use. As long as the mon you traded was a first encounter, it's fine

We’ll, we lost Walrein too, we got jumped by a Heracross on the way to the Abundant Shrine. That was stupid of me.

On a lighter note, did you know that Bronzong is an encounter in the Abundant Shrine? Sadly, he has Heatproof but god those this give me options.

Currently, the team for the Elite Four would be Magenzone, Cofagrius, Crobat, Excadrill, and Scraggy, who I am currently grinding up. Not sure who the last member will be.

I skipped my route 111 desert encounter so I could get a Barboach after getting the good rod. I really wanted to use Whiscash because it's my favorite Hoenn water type.
Winona was a total push-over. Minun ohko'd Swellow, then paralyzed Altaria and encored dragon dance. After Whiscash took out the Altaria, Minun came back in and took out Pelipper and Skarmory.

I think trades are fine as long as you caught the Pokemon they want as your first encounter on a route. But I also count the traded Pokemon as my encounter for where the trade occurred.

Not much gameplay between Byron and Candice, but i got some great catches in snow world. Bronita is so fuckin close to levelling up that i'm actually getting scared putting him into battle. However, I did manage to use him against candice, one-shotting a 42-level abomasnow with flamethrower. I honestly thought she was gonna be harder, but she doesn't really have any other scary mons. And why does she substitute her team with a medicham when she doesn't even have a mamoswine? And why is her gym filled with like 90% water trainers?
anyways, skuntank is proving to be pretty amazing, and bloop the bronzong is carrying as always.

Was doing well but Glacia's first Sealeo kept landing those Ice Balls until it got a crit and I was fucked, then Glalie blew up vs. Tentacruel leaving just Sableye and Altaria that couldn't break Walrein.

My original team was going into Victory Road was Hariyama, Manectric, Swellow, Crawdaunt, Starmie and some 6th thing ig

Sure, the midgame can be a bitch, but I was specifically referring to his 2 teams not making it to or past the E4 even though both teams sounded fairly solid overall. Grinding is very annoying but it shouldn't be a barrier to victory except in extreme cases like Dark Rising where it's just not viable unless you have autism.

Been a second since I've posted- grinding up a new member in Johto is fucking misery. But she came in clutch! Elizabeth the Milotic was a great anti-Dragonite, though things got a bit hairy when the L50 started spamming Outrage. Not even she could tank more than one, and she couldn't OHKO him. So it was up to Star the Lucario to endure a couple Outrages and leave a safe switch in to Elizabeth to finish him off. Other than that, easy sweep of the E4.

Frankly, not sure I'm gonna do Kanto and Red. Strictly speaking, I've already gotten a team in the HoF, and everything else is post-game, albeit an extensive post-game. Kanto fucking sucks and the Red grind sucks even more, and I'm looking forward to my Hoenn run in Emerald. I'll sleep on it, but this may end up being the end of game 2 of 5 of my globetrotting Regionlocke.

Don't bother with Kanto, it's not challenging and feels more like busywork. Shame they didn't take more licence with Kanto in the remake.

Imagine a stranded in Kanto scenario where you start at like level ~25 with a pokemon you find belongs to another passenger. Eventually you reach Seafoam Islands after returning power, beating Team Rocket goons, and clearing the wreckage caused by the Cinnabar Eruption and resulting landslides, would also give a reason to use Rock Climb, and you find the other trainer who has your 6 pokemon and it's a whole scene. Then you go for a victory Lap of clearing the gyms to gain access to Mt. Silver and Red.
Thank you for reading my fanfic.

What do you guys think of this compromise, since I randomize TMs do you guys think it's cheating to change the TM after the fact if it's a legendary pokemon signature that obviously can't be learned by anyone else. What I've done is I've changed it to a similar common move so Aeroblast becomes Sky Attack, Mist Ball or Luster Purge I make into Extrasensory, Doom Desire > Hyper Beam, Roar of Time > Iron Tail, Spacial Rend > Dragon Claw, Lunar Dance > Memento, Sacred Sword > Brick Break and so forth. I can't remove the legendary only moves and sometimes you get a roll where you have 3 or 4 in one set like I did in my recent Fire Red run.

The same type change doesn't make sense to me, the whole point is to not always use the strongest moves that everyone uses and still have it make sense.
Like how Beedrill has Wing Attack because Yanma can learn it and they share how their wings look, it made him a great counter to all the Machokes throughout the game.
It's fun to get to use move and pokemon combinations that you don't usually get, and do so without feeling like it's cheating.

I've only just beat the 5th gym so I can't comment on all of it, but so far it's not bad at all. The plot is on par with a main series game but with some neat little bits of creativity that make it stand out from a regular game in a good way. Clearly there was a lot of effort put in and it shows. I'm also liking the gym typing variety and evil team typing which are both pretty different from the conventions we've come to expect.
On the flip side, since I'm running a nuzlocke I can't help but notice that there are some level jumps early on that come rather abruptly (nothing too crazy, but it caught me off guard and cost me a run) and some things like sudden gauntlet fights can be annoying and are made worse by the rates of good mon vs shitmon early on. The level up learnsets are also dogshit for a lot of pkmn, with some not getting any good stab moves outside of TMs well into the 30'4 or 40's. The HM requirements can be annoying too, especially with ones like rock climb which for some reason not a single mon in my team or box (including dead ones) could learn.

But overall I'm enjoying it so far and want to see where it goes from here.

Diamond update:
Defeating team galactic at spear pillar wasn't too difficult aside from a scary gyarados, but managed to get through unscathed. Dialga was really easy - It didn't have any counter against the based Bloop.
The electric gym required a bit of grinding, but wasn't too bad either. Basically just let clementine the luxray defeat everything, aside from the ambipom which Bloop the bronzong fucked up. It was pretty spooky - it nasty plotted x3, giving me just enough time to kill it before it could unleash a shock wave to fuck me up.

I'm thinking that i'll enter the league when my team has reached 50. Is that ok, or should i get them even higher? Grinding is so fucking boring in gen 4.

What hardware do you normally use when playing Pokémon games? I mostly use my N3DSXL or PC but am looking into some handheld emulators and was wondering if anyone has any experience or recommendations concerning them. From what I have seen, the RG351MP seems quite nice and not overly expensive so I’m thinking about getting it. I’m mostly interested in them for the size and the ability to speed up games which comes in handy while grinding in nuzlockes.

So far my phone and PC. The phone is fine for FRLG romhacks and can speed up to 2x so it's great for playing while commuting. For DS/3DS ones I don't know, when I get a better phone I'll give it a spin but until then only PC. A handheld emulator seems like a nice idea if it's potent and small, and has physical buttons, but I don't think they sell those over here.

Not sure about that one, his floatzel might be able to pull an OHKO on Garchomp if it has a choice item or really good attack IVs/EVs/Nature, all it needs is to outspeed it which it should be able to do even underlevelled (not by 10 levels though). The rest I agree with, his team is getting demolished without some extra grind.

Well I lead with Manectric and took down Swellow, and she sends in Altaria to start setting up, so I switch to Swellow who I taught Glare via TM (Swellow has a nasty glare) and Paralyze Altaria, then as she sets up I switch to Grumpig and Confuse Ray her and as she sets up a second Dragon Dance I Psych Up and Secret Power down. I was so exited I didn't lose anyone to her shenanigans.

I don't think so, and if you miss or do 24.9% damage Floatzel is too frail to take a hit and will die, after which do you have anything else that can outspeed and revenge kill a Base 102 Speed Garchomp?

You do have Crobat but even if he survives to Garchomp he has nothing to do against it if Cynthia has one of her 4 Full Restores.
This is the whole point getting a clean one shot off on Garchomp, it's just too strong and too durable to be taken out by a team of 55 and if you screw up even 60 is not 100% guaranteed. That's just her chomp, she has 5 other pokemon which are all really strong too.

1. floatzel is fast as fuck
2. am i really wrong in thinking that a 105 attack pokemon can 1-hit KO a 95 defense pokemon with 4x weakness?
3. even in the case that i'll miss, i still have bronzong as a backup which has some insane bulk + iron defense.+ confuse ray.
4. i have a strong feeling that if i can't defeat her at 55, i won't even be able to defeat her at 60, so why waste the grinding..

>am i really wrong in thinking that a 105 attack pokemon can 1-hit KO a 95 defense pokemon with 4x weakness?
NTA, but yeah. Floatzel isn't that strong. Apologies for calc autism but:
>Lvl 55 252 Atk Floatzel Ice Fang vs. Lvl 66 0 HP / 0 Def Garchomp: 124-148 (51.8 - 61.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
>Lvl 66 0- Atk Garchomp Earthquake vs. Lvl 55 0 HP / 0 Def Floatzel: 154-183 (88 - 104.5%) -- 31.3% chance to OHKO
And the Garchomp is Timid, so unless your Floatzel has picked up a lot of speed EVs you're probably not outspeeding, it doesn't have that much faster of a base speed. Add on top of the fact the Bronzong is susceptible to EQ.
Your best bet in that scenario is that Cynthia rolls Dragon Rush and misses because D/P AI is kind of dumb. But you probably don't want to be relying on a move that won't kill that can miss 5% of the time anyway.
Level 60 won't actually let you kill, but you can hopefully outspeed at that point and live at least one EQ. Also would recommend Ice Beam for just more power:
>Lvl 55 0 SpA Floatzel Ice Beam vs. Lvl 66 0 HP / 0 SpD Garchomp: 128-152 (53.5 - 63.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Does more damage than an Ice Fang even with max attack investment.

The difference between those five levels is that you can probably live a hit, at 55 you don't. and even if you do get fucked over your other mons can take more hits too, and deal just that little it more damage.
Gen3 and onward IVs and EVs are a huge deal since the AI, while still kinda dumb at times, is competent and won't spam Barrier against a level 2 Weedle.

Ok. so it seems i can choose between:
1. hope my floatzel can survive 1 hit of whatever move is chosen, and outspeeds the garchomp to deliver 2x ice fang/beam
2. hope for an ice beam/fang crit
3. hope the AI fucks up

I guess i'll level floatzel, at least, to 60.

That's the ideal situation, it's probably a surefire kill, but on level 60 you do have a chance of living a hit. Bear in mind Floatzel is very frail so you might die regardless, but it's easier to renvege kill Garchomp from 25% than it is from 40% especially when your other pokemon are stronger too. Good Luck man, set up your equipped items well and you'll have it.

Also, recognizing that the AI especially earlier in a fight won't use as many healing items for that exact purpose, I'm guessing Claydol was one of Steven's last mons?

In general I think you kind of lack offensive pressure for Marshal, would recommend Bronzong I think like the other anon said but try to be more physically defensive with it. Alternatively, Espeon might be good for a more offensive role (though you'd just need to be careful with his Sawk, though you could probably have Skarmory use Spikes or something)
Definitely don't give up right at the E4 anon, you got this. Your team is busted as fuck

It's really just a timesaver, if you have at least one I think it's fine. Really anything that saves time and effort that poses no threat is fine. Rather than grinding Attack EVs for hours by killing level 3 poochyena I just pop open PokeHex and add the points I would've gotten. I have a life to live and wasting it doing busywork in a game is not how I want to spend it.

>>50812457
I consider the starter a Littleroot town encounter because that's where Birch officially gives it to you... also it takes a Zigzagoon or Wurmple out the encounter table for the next few routes with species clause.

>>50811710
>>50812549
Doing the same, I recommend grinding through all or most of the Kanto games first because Kanto pokemon are the most common throughout the series.

Diamond update:
Died to cynthia. Didn't want to grind, so i went in with a level 50-52 team. Went pretty ok until Flint's Buneary mirror coated Bloop to death, and Lucian's alakazam killed off Clementine and Bronita. Then Zuperman died to Cynthia's spiritomb, and her roserade killed off the last surviving member: Airbag.

I'm honestly not too sad about it. My team was good, and could have gone through, but i kinda just got bored of the run and went into it guns blazing. It's to be expected.

In summary, Diamond is a pretty shitty nuzlocke. Boring encounters, very little variety in teams, way too many caves, forgettable villains and story, excruciating reliance on HM slaves, no good grinding spots, very few held items to be found early on, and much more.

The absolute dummy-proof method, and indeed the only objective metric at all, for catch location is the listed catch location on a Pokemon's stats. If there is a single "Seafloor" location, then it's one encounter. If those catches instead list the Route name, then it ties into those Routes.

Just chipping in to say I don't hack candies, I hate the feeling of hacking candies, but if someone wants to do it they absolutely should.

He might just make me overlevel my cyndaquil.

Half of 'gitting gud' is intuition and knowledge. Learning how to play carefully, i.e. not making careless mistakes, recognizing when is best to make a risky play, planning for a fight you know will be trouble, etc. is pretty much the extent of it.
Your first nuzlocke should ideally be in the game you know best, without any extraneous rules (unless the game you know best is ridiculous like USUM). If there's not one you know best, FRLG or XY are really good games for beginners due to being relatively easy.

i'd start with the game you're most familiar. if you're unsure, i'd recommend XY or LGPE
for starters, i'd recommend just going barebones nuzlocke rules and just doing box/release dead pokemon and set mode. don't worry about overleveling, just get familiar with the nuzlocke experience and try to have fun
make sure to always play around crits though

As with all things, up to your own interpretation. However, the only OBJECTIVE metric to catches is "Catch Location" under a Pokemon's stats. Surf, grass, and fish all give the same "Catch Location," so by the strictest rules, no, you only get one.

I have wiped. Too much bad luck all around, all Croats. Everyone keeps dying during set up against the Elite Four.

Fuck, I was hoping this would be the run.

Made an executive decision to call it a victory, I got as far as possible without a team wipe, so there we go.

Also, I'm a dumb fuck, and forgot the Brock's Onix's whole thing in Gen I was Bide, so RIP Two-Fold.

This is not my final teams, I think.
I was super lucky with the Move tutor roll, one had Superpower and another one has Ice Beam. Now I just gotta find a good Ice Beam user.
Hope this run goes well so I can start up on Colosseum and then cap Gen3 with Gale of Darkness.

Well, you did get to the end of the game.

What does Bugsy have? Do you have a link to a resource with info on the hack?
In general the best you have for him are Flareon, Golbat, Pachirisu, and Rhyhorn, through it's hard to say because I don't know their movesets or anything.

>>50821188
Cool team.
Not all of my Champs made it either, but they're listed in the Hall of Fame so they get their spot in the sun... even if it's underground.

Probably Golbat, Staravia, Rhyhorn, Flareon, Croconaw, then whatever. Maybe Pachirisu? It's probably good for Charms/high Special Attack/Discharge for the Scyther and to lesser extent Yanma. Assuming you have a level cap so you can't get Swellow.
>Use Rhyhorn to kill as much as you can (you can lead with it), use the rain he sets up to buff Croconaw, when the rain goes away use Flareon
>Staravia swaps in for Intimidates, Golbat to kill the bugs with fighting and grass moves (his Beedrill does have Cut, remember that)
>Also remember that Scyther has Swords Dance and can spam U-Turn freely by end of battle

Actually mad about losing Mars, I won't lie to you.
Also, officially farther here than I was able to get in Green!
Feeling pretty confident about this team, I've never actually used an Omastar before, but I like his little dance.

Last GBA game finished and done with!! Next on into Orre region in Colosseum and then Gale of Darkness!
I wasn't originally gonna take Azumarill but after losing my ground types and realising just how Ice and Water weak my party was Blp-Blp (blip-blip) came in super handy. He superpowered anything that Sceptile and Starmie couldn't Leaf Blade or Ice Beam. Banette also destroyed Phoebe, tearing through everything and one shotting everyone but her strongest Duskclops which lived with a sliver, sadly he went down to Ludicolo but Cursed it so regardless of its 3x Double Team bullshit it went down along with all of Wallaces Full Restores while being battered by Psychics.

I'm amending the rules as I go, so here's a new one.
Double Team is such a bullshit strat, or lack of a strat, it's literally just RNG abuse and I refuse to deal with it going forward. I'll reload automatically if something sets up more than two, I'm not losing a run to bullshit.
Just two Double Teams or one Minimize sets the base hit rate to 3/5, at four its 3/7 and at six its 1/3. That means that at just +2 Evasion getting two hits to land in a row is 36%, to get in three is 21%, less than an OHKO move.
Accuracy downs are fine because there's a way around it but Evasion is something I don't use and absolutely refuse to suffer through.

Pretty basic stuff all things considered, the only difference is the route rule since there are no traditional routes and very few areas or possible captures.

Sincerely, and I'm not trying to say this as a pro hardcore nuzlocker, but I found it's just way more fun to do one shadow mon per area, and randomizing which you can get (removing the legendary dogs). I think allowing everything in the game just makes you default to certain mons more than anything else instead of working with what you have.
Of course though, however you want to play it is fine.

I've had a really dumb idea for a run, and I want /vp/'s opinion on it.

Black 2 Challenge Mode shitmon run.

Permadeath rules apply, and I'm only catching the pokemon listed below, and only the first one of it. (one exception only)

Are any too good?

>Route 19 - Patrat
>Route 20 - Sunkern
>Ranch - Azurill (No Huge Power)
>Virbank Complex - Audino
>Castelia Park - Rattata
>Castelia Sewer - Muk
>Route 4 - Trubbish
>Desert Resort - Maractus
>Relic Castle - Sandshrew
>Route 16 - Emolga
>Route 5 - Minccino
>Route 6 - Foongus
>Chargestone - Nosepass
>Route 7 - Seviper
>Celestial Tower - Elgyeem
>Reversal Mountain Outer - Spoink
>Inner - Woobat
>Route 14 - Absol
>Route 13 - Tangela
>Giant Chasm Outer - Solrock
>Inner - Lunatone
>Route 12 - Heracross
>Village Bridge - Zangoose
>Route 22 - Delibird
>Route 23 - Golduck
>Victory Road - Banette

Obviously this is a rough idea at best so far, but I do think it has potential.

I think the problem is that a lot of these mons can end up not being shitmons. Watchog is respectably strong early game, and Raticate (with Guts), Muk, Garbodor, Sandslash, Cinccino, Amoonguss, Probopass, Grumpig, Tangrowth, Heracross, Zangoose, Solrock/Lunatone and Golduck are all also pretty good and some even amazing mons. I think if you want to up the challenge you should probably accept that you can't catch something in every area.

I would personally do
>Purrloin - Rt 19
>Sunkern - Rt 20
>Azurill without Huge Power - Ranch
>Audino - Complex
>Skitty - Park
>Rattata without Guts - Sewers
>Emolga - Rt 16
>Castform - Rt 6
>Seviper - Rt 7
>Elgyem - Tower
>Absol - Rt 14
>Delibird - Chasm

And can also get Banette, Dunsparce, Corsola, at any point. Working mostly off memory here so maybe forgetting some particular shitmons or locations. Also could use things like Onix, Karrablast, Shelmet, etc. off the premise you wouldn't evolve them

We have returned after Victory Road and Barry's last rival fight. It was a joke.
Missy and Staraptor traded Intimidates, switched into Flynal because Close Combat, Staraptor U-Turned into Empoleon, Flynal one shot it and Rapidash with Earthquake, Roserade with Fire Fang, two shot Snorelax and Herecross, and three shot Staraptor. All that remains is the Elite 4 and Cynthia, who is my level cap goal, so that means more grinding for everyone.
>>50829969

I wouldn't call a good chunk of that list shitmons, most of them are easily usable in a Nuzlocke.

That should do it, I somehow skipped over Maractus. Raticate is fine too as long as you don't have or use Guts, that thing has obliterated the entire late game before for me even on challenge mode

The level limit isn't a necessary part, if this is a first time I'd recommend not bothering with it, especially in Gold and Silver since it's rather easy to overlevel early on.

I'm not sure who I'll take with me longer term but Quagsire, Noctowl, Meditite, Stantler, Ledian, and Hitmontop have promise.
I need something that can tank earthquakes so Mantine would've been a fantastic as well as a great special wall... but it got critted by Umbreon.
Noctowl is decent but if it got access to Freatherdance he'd be amazing, Reflect, Featherdance, Hypnosis, Dream Eater would've made him the ultimate switch in pokemon for this run.

Walked about in Cianwood City, grinding up Gyarados and Skiploom--I mean Jumpluff now, but that was all after I accidentally triggered the Suicune sequence and got my poor Gloom and Drowzee murdered by Rollout. (And my little Salad was such a trooper tanking all of the Electrode's Thunders. Damn you, Eusine)

Is it in bad taste if I name a Krabby I fished up in Cianwood such a nickname because my cousin has a shellfish allergy? Anyway, training necessary to even survive Chuck's Gym.

Chucks gym has some nasty trainers with elemental punches and rock slides but Chuck himself is a cakewalk for your team, Pidgeotto with Featherdance can really take the bite out of his party.
