Went through Eterna City. As you might guess by Beautifly and Staravia on my team, Gardenia was a pushover, though he did paralyze and almost killed Revali. Still cleared her. Jupiter got a lucky crit on Ooz and killed him in two hits when he should've taken a hit and returned the favor with a KO. Revali finished her off in return. Since the last gym, we've added Beau the Beautifly, Pippin the Buneary, Plasmus the Rotom, and coming off the bench we have Jett the Buizel.

Okay so I beat the elite four with no more party deaths and all of KAAAAANTOOOOO
this is my team post E4.
However, while grinding the E4 before I beat Blue, I lost Kingdra by being fucktarded and thinking 'oh yeah he can tank a cross chop at half HP'
But I think I'll be good vs Red I'll just grind up. My bros are all at 55 now.
I caught misdreavus in Mt Silver so snorlax is super duper handled 1000%

Best of luck grinding up for Red. training "accidents" can be a big demotivator, but it sounds like you have a plan. What level to you plan on grinding to?

That's gonna be brutal. I've tried it a few times but its so hard.
Yeah I was kinda fucking pissed about Kingdra for a while but I have moved on. He was a bro. Its super sad but we will defeat Red in his honor. I think I'll be solid at 60 then I can use my 10 rare candies to beef up maybe raikou and skarmory. The dudes I'm most worried about on Red's team are blastoise and espeon.
Pikachu, snorlax, venusaur and charizard pretty much can't touch my team. I have hard counters to all these guys in golem, skarmory, misdreavus and typhlosion.
My way of countering blastoise was going to be toxic kingdra, which already had learned the TM when he died. But I have a strategy to deal with blastoise that I think it pretty clever.
For espeon, I do have a psychic resist but skarm doesn't have the greatest spdef. I'm just banking on it not doing that much and me being able to kill him with a combo of zam, skarm and raikou.

Bumping with another run update. Fantina actually proved to be quite a difficult fight, full of confusion hax and SpDef drops from her Mismagius' Shadow Ball. We were able to diffuse that particular bomb, but my team was severely beaten up by the time her Haunter entered the field. The best I could hope for was a crit from one of Jett's attacks, but unfortunately that was not in the cards, and Jett fell with just a sliver of the Haunter's health remain. That said, Revali was able to come back in and finish the job thanks to his superior speed.
Adding a Ralts to the team temporarily, but I don't know for how long they'll be a mainstay. I'd like to add dedicated Water-type to the team, since I plan on running Rotom-Heat for the Overheat.
>>54330342
It certainly seems this way, but I've had less horseshit thrown my way compared to the first Platinum run. I've never seen so many freezes in a GAME, much less a single battle than in that Cyrus fight.

Bumping with a quick update. I beat the Totem Gumshoos mostly thanks to Peter Prong the Grubbin, Adnocana the Ekans, and Gwen the Grimer. No losses so far, but I almost lost Adnocana to a Gentleman's Murkrow using Pursuit.

I'm stuck on gen 3 (for religious reasons) and want to add some variety to my nuzlockes by altering the pokemon that I find on each route. For example, I'd like to get a hoothoot or spinark in kanto instead of a pidgey/weedle/etc. Anyone do anything similar? I'd appreciate advice and suggestions. I'm emulating, so I have a few extra tools available to me.
My initial thoughts are to get eggs of all of the pokemon, group them by terrain (cave, forest, field, sea, etc) and select at random, but that'll take too much work to prepare, at least initially. The other is just to make the list and randomly select one *if* I succeed at a capture.

Beat Maylene. On the way, we lost Plasmus unfortunately when an opposing Drifblim barely survived a Shock Wave and revenge killed it. Sadness. We've added Charon the Duskull and Aqueen the Goldeen. I questioned the anon here who was using Seaking in Red, and here I am using Goldeen. Pot, meet kettle I suppose.
Anyways, Maylene was kind of an awkward fight because her Lucario got the +1 attack boost from Metal Claw. We had to pivot around a bunch, set up Stun Spore and Confuse Ray, before Pippin was able to switch in safely and kill it with a Jump Kick.

>>54334237
Based Stantler enjoyer. Congrats on the win! You have a very cool team.

Wow, managing to get through the Trainer's School, Ilima, and the Gumshoos is impressive. I don't know if you've played the game before or if you want spoilers at all but look out for that Araquanid, it's a nasty piece of work.

Thanks. I did suffer my first loss last night, though. Gwen the Grimer fell to the Ace Trainer on Route 3. His Slowpoke whittled her down to half before I beat it and then his Butterfree finished her with a single Silver Wind. I only survived that battle by scoring a very lucky confusion status with Tricksy the Mime Jr.'s Confusion attack and it hitting itself in confusion three times in a row while Adnocana the Ekans wore it down.
This is my first time ever playing USUM, but I am aware of the Totem Pokemon to come. They all look really tough.

RIP to Plasmus. I was hoping to see you carry it further into the game. When I ran Platinum, I lost mine at about the point you are now.

After losing half my team at the Elite 4 I decided to take it easy and gather/grind up the new members for a few days. In the end I decided on Burgundy the red Gyarados as my new water type, Big Red the Ponyta Rapidash to replace Hotstuff and provide some much needed speed, and DDoS the Porygon2 for high special attack, decent bulk/speed once I can evolve it and good coverage (thank god for online voltorbflip solvers making it doable). I also got Wyvern levelled up to Dragonite (in part thanks to rare candies), and the team feels much more solid than ever before. I beat Janine, Lt Surge and Brock with little issue, though trying to fight Brock's Omastar with Mildew really proved how much Parasect has fallen off at this point in the game unfortunately. I'd feel bad boxing him now that he's come so far though.

>>54333120
>>54335157
Great job going so long without a death in USUM, from what I can tell that's a very hard game for it. RIP to Gwen though.

>>54334987
Platinum still can't give you a break huh? Sucks losing Rotom but good job getting around a +1 Lucario. And I guess your Marill isn't huge power if you're picking Goldeen instead?

>>54334237
Great job! And awesome team, love seeing Stantler.

>>54334734
The second option sounds a lot quicker. You could also decide on the encounter rarity for pokémon you want to use and link them to corresponding encounters in the game, though that's a bit of a drag to list as well. Sounds like a fun idea though.

Yeah, it's a Thick Fat Marill, but I'd consider not using it even if it was Huge Power to save it for when it gets the Fairy-type. Using Parasect vs. Brock can be rough just because of the Rock weakness. Still, it has Spore so it can't be too bad.
>>54335157
That's unfortunate, I really like Alolan-Muk. The Totems can be pretty brutal and snowball out of control. It's pretty funny that the Kahunas are the easiest parts of the game.

What are thoughts on legendaries/mythicals/etc. in runs if they're available in run? Snatched an Articuno from Seafoam in Red and it doesn't seem to go against any hardcore or Autismlocke rules I've seen to use it, nor do you really get big opportunities to use most of them.

Beyond that, update: I had to redo my entire 7 Legs for my Autismlocke due to leaving my hardware almost ten hours from my new residence/work, so I've been blasting them through on an emulator and will do a mega update before returning to regular posting. I'll return to my original Extreme-o Autismlocke on physical hardware someday too, but consider my upcoming efforts as the new attempt of the same idea for now.

Went to Pastoria and got us a dub. The fight was a little spooky because we had some defense drops, but some pivots made it pretty straightforward. Also, we've made two substitutions. Beau is reaching the point where it'll start getting outclassed, so we've substituted it with MYDOOM.exe the Porygon (now Porygon2). Aqueen has also been subbed out with Madam Quag.

>>54336701
It's your rules, play how you like. My take is if it's a legit encounter, you can use it. I impose some bans (like I won't be using Giratina in my run), but the Emotion Pokémon could be on the table since they're like, OU in Gen IV. I've used Garchomp and it's better than all three of them. I've also used Moltres and it felt balanced.

And thus the adventure paddles along.

After defeating Byron, it's time to... take the flying/defog slave, and cheat a little by going up to Mt. Coronet and the snowy routes to get frosty.

While surfing and raiding treasures, a Clefairy presented herself to me with no required baggage. Until I find a Moon Stone underground, Nika will make a good toasty-machine. Then it's time to acquire the Sacred Elm (the Snover), while getting Parvati's feet cold after evolving her into a Medicham. A Noctowl casually fucked her off to the afterlife.

Then it was skippable story time, slap Saturn around while calling his ancestor a filthy degenerate thief, slap Mars around again while telling her that great-granny Arezu would be disappointed in her life choices, and now next time, it'll be time to freeze!

Quick lil' bump before work. Mars & Saturn were ezpz, and we made our way to Snowpoint. I'm a little overleveled for Candice (I level cap typically for mean level of the leader's team, not highest level), but that's fine. Gonna spend some time farming shards so I can retool some of our friends' movesets. Beau since learning Bug Buzz has been a fucking trooper, maybe I should keep him around. It'd be cool to have both of the Wurmple evolutions in my HoFs for Sinnoh.

>>54339717
Looks like we're making about the same pace for Sinnoh. Shame about Medicham, my Meditite encounters have also been cursed. It looks like you have a very solid team though, No Guard Machoke (Machamp on the table?) should be able to handle Candice, and you have Clefairy, Skuntank, and Octillery in reserve for it.
>>54339691
Yeah, definitely fair. I really like Liepard from a design perspective, but it's not the greatest. Not awful, mind you, but getting to the point where Purrloin/Liepard are actually decent is a real uphill battle.

Okay, grinded all the mons to lv55 so they are ready for the E4

Botswana 1HKOd with Petal Dance Dewgong (crit) and Cloyster, 2HKOd Slowbro. Switched to Morocco for Jinx, 2x Strength was enough. Since Morocco took a crit
I switched to Madagaskar for Lapras. 2nd Psychic was a crit and took Lapras out, who would otherwise likely killed Madagaskar (survived a HydroPump and Blizzard)

Bruno went much more smoothly, Lesotho took care of all of them, only needed two hits for Machamp who decided to use Leer.

Gabon solo was the plan for Agatha. Gengar outspeed him and used Confuse Ray, but Gabon still managed to 1HKOd Gengar with Earthquake. Switched to Mali, who took care of Golbat with 3 Drill Pecks (and got hit once with Wing Attack), but then died to Hunter. Hunter used Hypnosis and then landed a crit Dream Eater for the kill. Rookie mistake really, should have switched. Gabon came back and dealt with the rest (with a repeat of the Gengar episode).

Lance
Morocco 1HKOd Gyarados with Thunderbolt, 2x Ice Beam + Strength for each Dragonair and a crit Thunderbolt to kill Aerodactyl after he already hurt himself a bit with Take Down. Switched to Lesotho since Morocco was nearly dead, two Blizzards and one tanked Hyper Beam and Lance was beaten.

Blue
Morocco needed 2 Thunderbolts for Pidgeot, who used Whirlwind, so I kept him in for Alakazam. 2 Strenghts latter Alakazam was done and Morocco still unhurt (Rest and Reflect) so he also dealt with Rhydon and Exceggutor with Ice Beams and Gyarados with 2 Thunderbolts. Gyarados actually missed his Hyper Beam, that would kill Morocco after all the damage from Horn Attack and Baragges, that would kill Morocco on the first turn and used Dragon Rage on the 2nd so that was also a bit of luck. Only Charizard remained who died to two Surfs from Lesotho.

FIN
Red=Dead.
I lead Golem and go for sunny day
>wtf did he just click
Yes my nigga I was predicting him to go blastoise right after so I would be able to safely swap to raikou on rain dance however he decided to go Espeon after Pikachu dropped to a single EQ (after Charm lol).
I EQ Espeon once then go Alakazam on Psychic which does 40%. I crit him with Ice Punch for the 2HKO.
He goes Snorlax and I send out the secret weapon - Misdreavus.
Mean Look + Perish Song and then I Pain Split to make him rest and the fucker actually is able to switch out on the last turn at the same time as me, saving his lax. Damn.
So he swaps into Venusaur as I go Skarmory. He sunny dayz, I curse once and OHKO him with Fly then he sends out the big dawg: Charizard.
FUCK. This is why I was so scared after losing Kingdra.
I go Typhlosion and flamethrower does almost 50. I thunder punch back for 40~
Fuck I'm cooked!, I think
BUT I sack Misdreavus because I didn't want to get in Golem on sun boosted flamethrower. The sun wears off as he kills my ghost and I send out Golem. Damn good thing I sacked first because flamethrower without sun did 35-40%! I was able to pick him off with 2 safe Returns.
He sends out another big boss I've been fearing - Blastoise.
I go hard Raikou on a surf that does 40% or so. Holy fuck. I weigh my options then decide I gotta hit a raw thunder, which I fucking do. Then he proceeds to set up the rain for me so I can finish him off lol
With that he sends out the sleepy fatty, and I get up reflect with raikou. He goes for snore and it does a fuckload even through reflect - yikes. I go to skarm and start cursing up. I get 3 curses and he paralyzes me along the way but that was enough to 2KHO with steel wing.
ITS OVER

Turns out, overleveling did not matter vs. Candice. Her Sneasel went down easily vs. Pippin, but her Abomasnow actually landed the Focus Blast, which I completely forgot she had. My life flashed before my eyes, but I forgot that Lopunny has pretty high SpDef (I'm pretty sure Pippin has max HP EVs too). Anyways, he lived but was low, so I swapped into Charon for a Fire Punch. The battle against her Froslass was a battle of attrition, and while she went down without killing a Pokémon, we were all super low. I managed to paralyze her Piloswine without losing Beau, but Madam Quag's only hope was get off a Surf and have the full paralyze hit. It did not, and Madam perished. Pippin came in for the revenge kill, securing the win, but at the loss of a friend.
Readding new Shellos, Shabazz. I've never actually used the blue Shellos/Gastrodon, so that'll be fun.

Good win! Yeah, the Kahunas are easy by comparison of everything else. Noibat in the box could be a cool add when you can grind it up in the late game.

Take Custap to the end! He's been a gigachad, let him have the victory. As for Lycanroc, I don't have an answer, it's your run so do what you feel is right. My answer is that they share a Pokedex entry unlike Nidoking/Queen, so I'd rule all the Lycanrocs out, but it's your call! And don't worry, Sinnoh shall be trambled under our iron heels.

I've beaten all Kanto gyms without a single loss! First of all, I'm gonna have to apologize to Mildew for what I said last time. Now that he knows X-Sissor he's actually become quite an asset to the team since he is able to follow up on spore on his own as well as support the others. He was very valuable against Misty, Sabrina and Blue. Anyway, the only scary moments were the odd crit and that one time Big Red almost killed herself with Flare Blitz against Erika's Victreebel (on second thought, flame wheel probably would've been enough in the sun).
I'm also happy I could evolve DDoS into Porygon-Z, one of my favourite mons of all time, now that I have rock climb. All that remains is Red. I'm quite confident in this team, so all that's left is to level up and climb Mt. Silver.
What's a good level to fight Red at in SS? I feel like grinding all the way to level 80 takes away the challenge (and is really boring), but I don't want to be completely outmatched either.

>>54342957
Damn, RIP to Madam. Always sad when a Quagsire is lost. At least you've got another water/ground to succeed her though. Respect for still using Beautifly, btw.

>>54342548
Nice job. Kinda weird that the final boss battles of the island are actually more easy than the trials when you think about it. Love the Mr. (ms.?) Mime.

>>54341677
>>54341816
Losing out on route 41 sucks, but you can get the same/better encounters in the water on route 47. Route 48 also has some good ones. Koffing can be a very good physical wall if that's what you feel you need (so could Forretress but I suppose you can't evolve Pineco). Don't give up though, Graveller can carry you far, I speak from experience.

>>54341746
Hey congrats man, sounds like it was a tough fight! Happy to see another Golem enjoyer succeed. RIP Danish but I suppose that was his purpose he fulfilled his purpose.

Wiped on Distortion World Cyrus. First, we got off to a horrible start before the bosses even showed up. Pippin got wiped by a Wood Hammer crit from a wild Abomasnow on a switch-in, never had a chance. This one hurt, because Pippin was probably our run MVP aside from MYDOOM.exe. Also, Pippin was crucial in my plan for Cyrus, since its Fighting & Electric-type moves were supposed to come up huge against his team. Granted, Mars and Jupiter were a cakewalk after the fact.

I am convinced Platinum hates me because the first two turns of the Cyrus fight involved a successful Will-O-Wisp and Dark Pulse crit onto Shabazz (Gastrodon). It survived on 4HP, but it basically wasn't going to be of any use in the fight. MYDOOM was able to clean up both the Gyarados and Honchkrow, but in comes Weavile. MYDOOM isn't able to OHKO it and it outspeeds, so I'm shit outta luck there. I do my best to salvage the fight, but his Weavile successfully sweeps the team.
This game hates me, but I hate it more. We'll be back.

>>54343137
Probably somewhere around the low-to-mid 70s is the minimum level where you'll be good. Your team is strong, so I'd have confidence.

The Snowpoint Gym's snowball gymboree was canceled due to fire and flexing (and a touch of metallic energy), but mostly fire.

Candice:

>Deras OHKOs Snover with Fire Blast
>Can sends out Abomasnow immediately. Hit with Fire Blast, but Wood Hammer ALMOST one-hit kills Deras after hail
>immediately switch to Miaka, and then burn it down with Flamethrower.
>her Medicham proves a problem with Force Palm. Paralyzes Miaka, switch to Flow; war of attrition by sparking and using a Full Restore to knock out the Medicham at last.
>Sneasel comes out, switch to Deras where he bitch-slaps the Sneasel with Wake-up Slap
>can't exactly say LOL Canned Ice, because she was kind of a hassle.

On the plus side, Nika and Qiln got to have some fun, and Garn got to use the Yache Berry Verov had on his person WAAAAAY back when he was first captured to survive a Steelix's Ice Fang. Even in death, Verov's still looking out for his friends.

At the Acuity Lakefront, a Sneasel strayed away from his pack and tried to fuck with me. He's now named after a Sonichu character for his impertinence. Thought he was one of those ancient Hisuian Sneasels who didn't need the pack.

Breaking into the Veilstone Galactic HQ, the Dusk Stone was found, and Mukrow immediately snagged it like a Krow possessed, evolving and ready to carry on her precious one's will.

Next time, there will be Galactic Grunt bodies on the floor.

Started with Yellow
Used Romario for Rock, spamming Confusion. Onix got confused and hurt himself on the 2nd turn after using Bide on the first, so possible death avoided there.
Got a new Spearow on route 3, but Rivaldo already died to 2 Hyper Fangs from Blue Rattata.

Back from a bit of EV training, but it seems it wasn't quite enough. The fight against Maylene started ok, Milly The Willy-Nilly taking out her Meditite easily enough, but it seems that the Machokes in the gym were just barely KOs, as Maylene's lived on a sliver to deliver a Leer. It was easily dealt with afterwards, but this meant that we couldn't stay in to Pluch Lucario's Sitrus Berry as it could likely kill at this range. Switching in to Tweece and we get the dreaded message after a Metal Claw
"Lucario's Attack rose!"
Pretty much the nail in the coffin for at least one team member, if not more, trying to pivot around a little but Lucario keeps landing heavy blows. Bulldagger Diesel Dyke pulled the short straw, a Mach Punch did a little but not nearly enough, and he was ended by a Force Palm. Thankfully Pimbus Mumbleton was able to come out and outspeed the Lucario, landing a Dig that just barely did enough to kill.

...so yeah that really blows, there goes my Fire type for the run basically, but oh well, we will rebuild

I just beat the Totem Araquanid and talk about BUBBLE TROUBLE! My strategy was to paralyze the Totem and then slow its team down with Eletroweb attacks, but its Bubble attacks (as well as Dewpider's) did so much more damage then I had anticipated. I probably would have wiped if my team wasn't carrying Berry Juices for recovery.
Peter Prong the Charjabug and Bleatmania the Flaaffy were left with single digit health in the end and it came down to Enigma IX the Dartrix nuking the Totem with Supersonic Skystrike, then picking off the SOS Masquerain as it struggled to do any damage on its own.
Now its time to catch all the water types and figure out a strategy for the next trial. Losing Adnocana the Ekans hurts a bit because it looks like it could have been a useful lead against the next Totem as an Arbok.

I haven't had time to continue my run in a while, but I fully intend to eventually go for more than just vanilla, once I feel confident enough about it.

im running non-vanilla i just don't talk about it here because there likely won't be much discussion around it because few people would show interest/care. as opposed to discord servers that have a more activate conversation around whatever game im playing at the time. some of it is preference, some of it is also the nature of the ways you can communicate with posters here vs how you can with others on discord.
i'm also just less interested in nuzlocke "content" than i was when i was posting here frequently. just different tastes now. nature of the game.

Thanks anon. Golem was so crucial to this run. I fucking love Golem now. I actually turned my gameboy off at the credits and so it didn't save that I beat him so I went again for shits and giggles and I was able to preserve all 6 in the runback. Felt good
>>54343137
I really like your team anon. I have no idea what level you should shoot for to beat Red in SS. He's quite a bit stronger than in gen 2 I think because there's hail and he has blizzard on a lot of pokemon. Also higher level and physical special split and updated gen 4 movesets probably helps him more than you.
Maybe go to 70-75 or something. Your team is pretty good though.
Golem should be able to take down pikachu and charizard without that much issue - dragon pulse and iron tail aren't STAB.
Dragonite is venusaur's daddy.
PZ should hopefully handle the water types with thunderbolt. You also have the bug. Maybe gyarados and rapidash can handle lax
Actually if gyarados is bulky enough it sets up on lapras and blastoise

For context, what do you already own? Is there some value that one edition could provide you that you wouldn't otherwise have? Foreign dittos (or other pokemon) are more favorable to breed with (eggs are produced more quickly).

Personally, I think ruby/sapphire would be the more interesting game. Berries, pick-up, and more variety (at least generationally) in pokemon available pre-national dex

I've beaten pokemon fuego rojo despite only being an English speaker. Been playing a translation hack for vietnamese fire red. But, I have more experience in kanto (though the sevii islands fucked me and I needed a guide).

Yeah, I'm not playing Viet emerald because the language barrier and lack of experience in hoenn (started in gen 1, owned, and beat all three games). Also, I haven't actually sat down to copy the level caps to a convenient area. I don't understand, but I can remember enough that I can also pick up some of the language. Like, 'tôi thich quan short' by that kid outside of thanh pho pewter.

Because japanese doesn't use the roman alpbabet, that's another hurdle.

It seems that our loss in the previous gym was simply a precursor for things to come. I think I'm mentally underestimating Diamond because it's easier than Platinum, but forgetting that shit can still happen in an "easy" game. Hopefully that changes now.
Gym battle against Crasher Wake was a breeze at least, Her Majesty Queen Alyza Lyenne II managed to power her way through the whole thing alone. Oneshot his Gyarados with Thunderbolt, got a lucky freeze against his Quagsire (thanks Serene Grace) for the twoshot and tanked a piddly Swift from his Floatzel to oneshot with Thunderbolt. Not quite sure who I want to go for as far as Water types go yet, I'm thinking Lumineon again, but my heart's not really in it after Venus died. I'll probably pick up Surf, catch everything I can and then make a decision.

I'm not sure if there's an official ruleset per se, but the general idea behind it is just that whatever pokemon is champed cannot be used in any subsequent games. As far as I've seen, there are three different ways to view champing
First is whoever makes it to the final champion, even if they are killed in the champion battle
Second (and probably least common) is whoever enters the E4 is champed
and lastly is whoever makes it out of the final battle alive (hence why many of these autismlockes have as little as one mon champed in some games, shit happens in the champion fight)
There's also some smaller details like "should NFE mons exclude their evolutions?" and "do regional forms (alolan, galarian etc) count as separate mons?" which is just up to the person playing

I've always gone the route of champing whoever goes in to E4. You're locked in at that point, so they've made it to the end in my view.
Specifically for Autismlockes, it also makes more sense to me to ban them all, otherwise it's technically better to lose most of your team on the way, which sounds silly.

It's pretty simple, the only check of your autism is how deep you're willing to go into the franchise's catalog. Basically you just ban the champions of your run from future games. What do you define as "champions"? Well, it's up to the player; I personally only ban the surviving members of the party; some people ban the entire Elite Four team. It's up to you, but the idea is to prevent yourself from relying on the same broken Pokemon every game and force you to try new stuff, which is what I personally like about Nuzlockes.

I wouldn't have ever brought Lumineon and Dustox to a Cynthia fight if it wasn't out of necessity, but they ended up being insanely clutch members of the team for me.

I think there's always some risk of "abusing" mechanics in self-imposed challenges like this. Like for me, I don't like abusing the dupes clause where you can pass on *every* duplicate encounter to "guarantee" certain encounters. I play with a variation where I can invoke dupes clause twice, and then the third encounter is what I'm stuck with. Some people would point out you can amass an army of say, reserve Gyarados, but I like having the potential of RNG screwing me over. I also try to use different things, so if my Gyarados dies, I'll try to avoid replacing it with just another Gyarados for the immediate next team slot.

Back to the subject of the Elite Four, yeah I suppose you can metagame it and intentionally sack stuff to keep it for future playthroughs. That's not really in the spirit of how I like to play these runs though. I try to keep everything alive, and only sack stuff when it's absolutely necessary. For me, the champs banlist is as much of a badge of honor for the survivors as it is a self-imposed challenge.

Tricksy the Mr. Mime and Adnocana the Ekans felt hard to lose. And with what I had left, I wasn't sure I could confidently take on the next totem. Thankfully, I have caught pretty much every encounter I wanted from the remaining routes available (Wishiwashi, Mantyke, Remoraid are the big ones). And now that I have Power items I purchased from the Battle Royale, I feel compelled to EV train in order to boost my chances of survival.

Figured I'd share my progress on my Puppet Dance Performance nuzlocke. It's one of my favorite fan games of all time and I highly recommend it to anyone. The amount of passion and polish the game has is crazy and every mon is viable in some shape or form. You don't need to be familiar with 2hu's at all to enjoy it.
I'd recommend playing Puppet Dance Performance: Shard of Dreams(the official expansion to the base game) if you're interested. I'm playing Shard of Dreams - Extended, a decently harder fan expansion to SOD that adds a bunch of new content and new mons from the touhou games that came out after this was released.

Just got the equivalent of the first badge. Yumeko is a monster. You can pick whatever mon you want as a starter so I rolled randomly and I've gotta say I'm very happy with the results so far.

Personally, I tend to be a stickler to rules, and abusing loopholes has always been my jam. Not necessarily with Nuzlockes, which is why I try to do my best to try to prevent that kind of abuse since it's so natural.
Dupe clause is a good example too, but at least there if you abuse it enough it becomes this kind of satisfying game of trying to control the odds. I definitely want to do something to stop that though, and giving limited chances for a non-dupe seems like the solution. (That is to say, you still can't get dupes, you just have limited rerolls)
With an autismlocke in mind, I feel like it definitely veers off too much from any kind of strategic gaming of the system (That'd be more in how much do you think you can get away with in teambuilding for the E4 instead)
That aid, if I was to ever do an autismlocke, I'd probably go even further than just banning the champions, so the point would be moot there.

Been wanting to try an autismlocke for a while because I really like the idea of it. Gonna try post updates on here occasionally but I've only just started so we'll see how I go.
First time doing a run of gen 1 and it made me realise how tedious it is. I feel like I need to go back and heal after every battle with annoying things like poison, confusion and wrap. Everything also has a shit moveset and I overly focused on Kyushu and Borneo, so when they were close to the level cap I had to try and train up the others which made things painful. Overall a lot more difficult than I anticipated.

Need to keep track of items a lot more than I thought I would, Pico the Spearow died to poison because I ran out of healing items and was between Cerulean and Vermilion so ages between either Pokemon center. And then Bolivia the Drowzee died right after it got confusion and became useful against all the poison types. That and killing a few encounters by accident has limited me to quite a few Pokemon. Hopefully things go a bit better on the way to the fourth gym.

Many thanks for the luck. How did it turn out? We will find out--right now!

Many took their turns training to get strong in post-Hisui Mt. Coronet--time has not been kind to this ancient landmark.

Despite Miaka getting a lot of hits in and melting wild Bronzongs and Abomasnows alongside Mukrow and her hatred for Medichams and Noctowls, they kept to the periphary. Everyone worked alongside that fuck-up Barry to handle Mars and Jupiter. Arezu's waiting for you in the afterlife, Mars...~

Cyrus:
>Honchkrow's a real dick-butt (and brutally reminded me once again that I was SLIGHTLY underleveled). Swapping between Fister and Miaka to handle Dark Pulse/Drill Peck/Steel Wing chicanery; timely Rock Throw burned a (pfh) Super Potion; he caught me mocking as I threw another Rock, and Dark Pulse erases Mr. Fister from the timeline. Lura sweeps in and finishes it with Cross Poison.
>Weavile's the big guns--plopped a Yache Berry on Lura AND Garn in the off-chance of an ice attack, goes for Night Slash and Brick Break instead. Forsaking her ice blessing was perfect, for X-Scissoring finished the Weavile.
>Gyarados comes in, switch Lura for Garn, and Ice Fang--OHSHIT--nom on it to tank the Ice Fang. Then goes Aqua Tail as he drops a Curse, then heal up for his Giga Impact. Wood Hammer during recharge, but triggers Full Restore. Rock Climbs against naked Ice Fangs, and burning so many Hyper Potions [I'm not stupid enough to go hardcore lol]--slips up with Earthquake, then slam the bastard with Wood Hammer.
>Crobat--the killer of my previous Diamond run. Switch Garn out to Qiln--eats an Air Slash and a Cross Poison; counters with Ice Beam (AND HOLY SHIT LUCKY ME IT FROZE THE FUCKER!) Doesn't thaw out in time, and gets shattered with a second Ice Beam. If that freeze didn't happen, I would've probably lost a couple more--or even again.

Dialga gets in my ball as Cyrus fucks off and d-rides Old Man Volo.

Next time... I need a drink.

This is how I view the Champs clause as well. In my Diamond run I had a Staraptor survive all the way until he was nuked by Cynthia's Garchomp's Giga Impact, so I felt he deserved a second chance and earned his spot in the Hall of Fame in Pearl.

It's finally time for Red! Kinda nervous because my team doesn't take blizzard well and I don't think I can take out hail without a sacrifice.
I start with Rocksteady the Golem to take on Pikachu. I took it out in one shot with earthquake, but iron tail still hit like a motherfucker even without STAB, putting Golem in red HP. Not a great start, since it limits my options against Charizard.
Next up is Lapras and I switch to DDoS the Porygon-Z. I take the brine on switch-in pretty well. Thunderbolt does around 70%, and I just barely survive a blizzard and hail. I use my one full restore (I only use one of whatever healing the AI has) so I can do another thunderbolt and survive blizzard & hail, but not by a lot.
Red sent out Blastoise, and I was contemplating risking DDoS to focus blast to get off another thunderbolt. Instead I went for plan B; I sent out Mildew the Parasect who ate a focus blast with no problem. Blastoise used blizzard, but the yache berry lowered it's effect, allowing me to live on about 20-10% and put it to sleep with spore!
I get a free switch into Burgundy the Gyarados, and I start clicking Dragon Dance. I get off two before it wakes up, but Leftovers allows me to do two more while tanking blizzards and hail. Now it's time to begin the sweep.
Bite takes out Blastoise (already half dead from hail), Ice Fang takes out Venusaur, Waterfall takes out Snorlax and finally Charizard.
Red is no more and it's finally over. All hail Parasect for setting up the sweep and preventing any deaths! What a hero.

I man, at the end of the day, what are you gonna do? Sack a mon for guaranteed survival or risk the entire team wiping out?
Sure, you can say that it's soulless, but part of Nuzlockes is that sometimes you need to make hard decisions. The truly soulless part comes in not giving a shit about it.

>Damn that's brutal. Are you losing most on grinding or what?
Whitney was a bloodbath. The rest were mostly casualties while grinding and one or two sacrifices during important battles. I allowed myself to catch the big bugs in the National Park contest to farm stones, but I never used the bugs in battle. I knew a lot was going to go wrong the moment the random number generator gave me Chikorita as the starter.

There's a difference between saving a run by sacrificing a mon (which i have done before) and sacking a mon to, say, get a free switch in on the gym leader (what i was referring to). The latter just makes it feel like a spreadsheet rather than a journey. I should have been clearer on the difference.

With our first youma book in tow we were sent by Akyuu to Kourindou, a shop outside the Forest of Magic, for information on the incident plaguing the world. One step outside the town though and we're ambushed by Reimu who challenges us to a battle. It was actually a pretty hard battle and unfortunately we lost Kokoro in the process.

The shop owner directs us into the forest proper in search of Alice, a master of doll magic who might just know what's going on. Unfortunately she doesn't but encourages us to visit it Scarlet Devil Mansion and its owner with the ability to divine fate. Unfortunately the road to the mansion has been overgrown and we'll need to head to the Bamboo Forest of the Lost to fetch a woodcutter's doll.

The bamboo forest is a maze and eventually we find our way to the temple in the center, fighting off all sorts of rabbit girls. Eirin, the advisor to princess Kaguya, says she'll give us the doll if we can break up the fight between Kaguya and her eternal rival Mokou. Eirin subdues her liege while we take on Mokou.

A quick note is that in this game every mon evolves at level 30 with 3 unique forms to pick from when you do. As a bit of added challenge I decided not to evolve any of my mons before the fight.

Mokou was TOUGH. My team has nothing to deal with fire types and she hits like a fucking truck. If it wasn't for our newest member Doremy getting a lucky sing off we might have lost more members. With this victory under our belt we head off to the scarlet devil mansion and our next Youma Book/Gym badge.

I played bd with a level cap and it was surprisingly fun. Had to train a few additional rotating team members to avoid the level cap, but still had plenty of deaths, like, more than most of my usual runs. Honestly, one of the few advantages of playing one of the forced EXP-share games with a level cap is the slightly more varied team members that you end up using to avoid over-leveling.

It's hard to put a line between those. Due to the nature of Nuzlockes, sometimes you're stuck in a bad match-up, and you need to play to optimize you chances of survival. Sometimes that might mean that free switch.
Now of course, if you're running constant damage calcs even before a fight to optimize this stuff instead of doing it by feel, that's a different thing, at that point it really is just a spreadsheet simulator.

alright so I have a serious question
I want to do a trashlocke of a fangame called Pokemon Wack, notable for having a very large pokedex and a shit ton of areas (and above average difficulty - not reaching stuff like Insurgence/Reborn/Rejuvenation/Desolation/Empire/whatever "hard" fangames that come to mind - but it's still not as easy as the official games)
the problem is, I don't really have a definable definition of shitmon for the sake of the run, simply because the fangame adds so many mons and changes a bunch of existing ones so existing shitmon/not shitmon tier lists wouldn't be useful
I could go off of BST alone but it's obvious that base stats aren't the sole defining trait of a pokemon's viability, for obvious reasons

for a general idea of what I'm talking about, try clicking this about 10 or more times for a sample of the game's... interesting fakemon dex (for some reason, separate forms are considered their own species)

Instead of doing a shitmon run do a wonder-locke. Its way more interesting because you can get unobtainable mons which like 1/5 of the pokedex is.

Also I don't know how much experience with Wack you have anon but it's fucking LONG, especially if you're doing postgame. You could finish 3 runs of different fan games before the main story of Wack.

Sad update today. Things were going really well until Celadon gym. Accidentally killed a Voltorb on Route 10 but caught Rushmore the Geodude who immediately made up for it being a great addition to the team dealing with Poison-types. Got through Rock Tunnel without a hitch, it's usually my least favourite area in all of Kanto.

Then for the Celadon Gym I was planning on going through mainly with Kyushu and having Borneo and Fuji for support. But that went sideways when I misclicked on Rage fighting a Ivysaur, Kyushu was Leech Seeded, poisoned and his attack was lowered a tonne so there was nothing I could do. Even when his rage built it did no damage and with no chance to access the menu to swap out or heal he was done for. I replaced him with Guinea the Growlithe who I just caught, but couldn't rely on him for the gym because of how weak it and Ember is. Against Erika's Victreebel he was doing no damage so I switched to Borneo to clean up with Thrash. Did a lot of damage but then got confused and put to sleep right away. This in a combination of strong Razor Leafs and not being able to switch out lead to Borneo's demise. Sumida was able to finish off the gym with the help of Guinea but those two deaths hurt a lot. They were the two oldest members of the team and carried my through a lot of tough moments.

Afterwards I replaced Borneo with Atlas the Eevee and evolved it into Jolteon. Not a big fan of Eeveelutions but Atlas has been really useful and holding its own. Cleared out the Rocket Base and Pokemon Tower without any difficulties.

I guess the big question is should I evolve Guinea? It doesn't learn a stronger fire-type move until level 50 but it'll be so weak by that point I'm not sure if it will even live to then. The only other fire-type move it learns is Fire Blast but you don't get that until you beat Blaine. Do I sacrifice Flamethrower for earlier strength and being limited to Fire Blast only down the road or be patient with it?

With the woodcutter's doll in hand we were able to forge our way to the shores of Misty Lake. A quick trip around and we got to our quarry. During this time our whole team evolved! Evolutions in this game are neat. Each mon has three mechanically unique forms to turn into. These can range from upgraded versions of the base mon to type changes to complete overhauls into something new. The sheer variety this brings to the game is staggering, especially from enemy trainers. From now on I'll be writing the style next to the names of mons so you can look up each member on the wiki if people give a shit to do so.

Before the mansion though we paid a stop to a mysterious cabin in the bamboo forest and travelled to the moon! In the depths of space we encountered Hecatia, a crazy 1% chance encounter. Her base stats are absurd and I've always wanted to use one on a run.

Our team then invaded the Scarlet Devil Mansion, going up against its many protectors. In the library we were attacked by Patchouli who one shot our starter with an unexpected fire move. Yumeko was a valued member and physical powerhouse. It was a real blow to the team. Hecatia sadly joined the squad as we pressed on.

The rest of the team carried us through the rest of the mansion to its owner, Remilia. Unbeknowst to me she's been buffed big time in this expansion rocking 5 mons instead of 3 and all of them evolved.
It was a really good fight. Every single member of the team pitched in and proved they earned that spot. Second gym badge acquired with no deaths.

I have defeated the Fire Trial after doing a full team rehaul. Duxor the Psyduck did her part by beating up the first Marowak and Hiker before the Totem showed up.
>VS Totem Marowak
The Totem uses Detect and shields itself from Magdelena the Crobat's Thief as it calls its friend Salazzle on to the scene.
Magdelena steals Marowak's Thick Club and then takes a chunk from a Flame Burst + Flame Wheel combo.
Gee the Herdier switches in and lowers the foes' Attack with Intimidate ability before taking a heavy hit from Salazzle's Flame Burst; Marowak detects again.
I pivot to Kitalia the Mantine, who takes only a little bit of damage from Marowak's Brick Break and poisoning from Salazzle's Poison Gas.
Kitalia is brought to 6 HP by Venoshock and a critcal hit Hex; the poison damage would be too much for Kitalia to handle.
With her last breath, Kitalia drags Marowak down to the depths with a Z-Powered Hydro Vortex, the Totem's Cursed Body ability disabling the Z-move as some kind of cruel joke.
>Kitalia is dead.
Sardini comes out last and Brines Salazzle to end the fight.
>>54369026
Dang, that's rough. Losing two pokemon to moves that lock you in. I had a similar thing happen in a Yellow run; my Nidoking got into a thrash-off with Erika's Gloom and got outmatched.
Given how non-threatening most of the pokemon are in Gen 1, I would be inclined to just grind up Growlithe to 50. The downside is that grinding sucks.

Tepig coming out first surprised me, but it worked out since my strategy was 'spam Sand Attack and hope for the best.' After the evasion strats actually worked for once, Sasha came in and cleaned up, Purrloin only got to Growl too. Unfortunately i still have to grind up for the gym, i want every stat i can possibly get.

Who/What is your nuzlocke nemesis? Could be a trainer, could be a specific pokemon species, could be a gym, battle, etc. Just some component of the games that ALWAYS seems to cause trouble when you run into it in your runs.
Preferably aside from the big-name, well-known run-killers.

Anything you hack into your runs for a better overall experience? I tried rare candies this run, and while it was okay, I don't think that I'll do it again. At least in FRLG, I'll make exp. share available from the pokemart because it's a little silly how long it takes to acquire (four badges AND 50 caught pokemon). In emerald, it's available soon from Devon. I'll also make EV reducing berries available as well, as part of my grinding of levels is also EV training. I only run ADV, so I might enable the national dex early to add more variety to the runs, and maybe do some egglocking as well in the future.

But as for nuzlocke nemeses? Any wild Pokemon that has Self-Destruct/Explosion (i.e. Gravelers/Voltorbs/Koffings).

But now, with the show!

With 4/9 of the main roster weak to Electric in some capacity, it would be Garn who would lead the non-moist/soary half into the zip-zappy gym.

Mikan and Nika cast their potent spells.
Miaka dug underground and surprised fools with claws.
Flow said NO to the Pikachu trainer, and chew-toy'd her fluffy friends until they stopped squeaking.
Garn: I'MMA EARTHQUAKE YOU MUTHAFUCKAS.
And Qiln (who drew the short straw) was there, for moral support.

Download the Universal Pokemon Randomizer and randomize your ROM to your liking. I've done a couple of randomized runs in different games with this and they're quite fun.

I don't think i've lost multiple mons to a single trainer, but i always dread Whitney. Other candidates would be the Raichu/Gyarados double battle in Platinum, Magmar/Electabuzz double battle in HGSS, and basically any Koffing line battle as well due to Self Destruct/Explosion.

And that's the early game team decided. I was really glad when I found magnemite since before that a shiny seagull(that I encountered right after my catching encounter) nearly ended me. Now I got a way to deal with any pesky water types.

Now the team is:
>King Crimson a short tempered and adamant cat
>Thunderstruk the sassy bug who can take a few hits
>The gentle seabird Big Mama
>The chill, adamant The One, who likes to relax

Kinda want to do a Shining Pearl Nuzlocke run, but somehow work a Phione into it.
Starting off with one feels a bit too powerful, so I'm trying to think of a good way to implement it.

What is it with Ultra Moon? IIlma with her two pokemon nearly caused my first death. The only reason Big Mama(and probably the rest of my team too for that matter) survived was because I put an oran berry on nearly all of them. Seriously, Big Mama survived with 1 hp.

These pokemon hit hard, and are bulky to boot.

Lead with Emerson, who didnt manage to take out 1st Venonat with Dig. Emerson then decided to go to sleep and then didnt wake up fot 4 turns, so Romario switched in. And got hit with Toxic. Romario was then able to 2HKOs all the Venonats while being hit with Psybeam and Double-Edge in addition to taking Toxic damage before needing to be switched out for Venomoth.

Another trial down, another step toward total victory or certain doom. Chihuly the Magby took on the stragglers who came after their stolen ingredients, and the Totem Lurantis and posse were handled by Madgelena the Crobat, Beaker the Trumbeak, and Enigma IX the Dartrix.
Gee the Herdier unfortunately perished. When the SOS Kecleon joined the fight, I sent him in to lower the foes' attack and he took enough damage to activate his Berry Juice. I went for a Baby-Doll Eyes to further lower Lurantis's attack stat, but then the Totem split Gee in two with a critical hit Solar Blade.

Very nice team, anon. I'm running Red myself, just got to Pokemon Tower with the silph scope.
Super cool that you're using butterfree.
We have pretty similar teams!
I'm super surprised by Beedrill. After getting twin needle he is carrying his weight and can fuck up the many common grass and poison types. He has been a straight boss.
Nidoking is undeniably my strongest pokemon. Bulky early, strong as hell, doesn't even have a move besides body slam but doesn't need it until I get earthquake.
Wartortle is about average. He picked up a lot when I got bubblebeam. Pretty much as expected. If he dies I'm going to use gyarados
Dodrio is a later addition than the rest (route 16) but he trained up quick and you get tri attack and drill peck very quickly. He's a beast. I don't think I'm keeping Hitmonlee because that's another psychic weakness, but that said I am tempted to use Gengar, hehe.
I think my team will be rounded out by Gengar + safari zone encounter, hopefully something badass like Tauros or Kangaskhan.

Still felt like nuzlocking after beating Soul Silver, so I've started a run of Emerald. I don't think I'm gonna fully autismlocke it, but I'll just ban my previous champs (the team against Red) anyway. Maybe I'll play one game in every region or something, we'll see.
Currently in Slateport after beating Brawly. Only loss so far was Nook the Zigzagoon against the Seedot/Lotad double battle just before Rustboro because I just barely missed out on killing the Seedot using bide. Hoenn's probably my favourite region overall and I really like it's early game variety. Aron or Makuhita are probably better encounters for granite cave, but Sableye is my favourite pokemon of all time so I'm not unhappy about it. It already trivialised Brawly, though I wasn't particularly worried about him anyway.

I've never nuzlocked Emerald before but this has me spooked for Wattson. Let's hope we survive.

Working on training up for Koga and Sabrina. With their level cap being 43 there's still a lot of ground to cover. Tried to catch the Snorlax West of Celadon but it wasn't looking too good so I bailed on it. Lost Tully the Gloom to a Voltorb selfdestructing on Cycling Road and got an immediate replacement with Hawaii the Exeggcute. Exeggcute's pretty bad though unfortunately, no stab moves at the moment and low stats so training has been a pain. I'd like to get it to at least Leech Seed before evolving though so I can potentially do the Leech Seed + Toxic glitch with it, then set it up with Psychic from Saffron and Strength so it should become useful. Currently just working through the onslaught of trainers on the SIlent Bridge area and I might do Silph Co before fighting Koga and Sabrina, we'll see how I go level wise.

Doing "raid dens only" in sword. Decided to only catch 3 before the first gym since there was like 7 nubile dens on the way to motostoke and that felt a little silly. For some reason I keep finding gen 5 pokemon

Also I've realised how dogshit the pidove line's level up moves are. Unfeazant has 115 base attack but doesn't learn a single physical flying move except sky uppercut at level 66? Not to mention that it has super luck but doesn't learn slash. Complete nonsense

Hardcore Ruleset, no items in battle, levelcap, etc. Just beat Lance with this team on the DSi. The E4 were nothing but Lance really shook me.

My original plan was to use Jolteon to kill Gyarados and then set up my Gyarados on the Charizard. Lance sent his strongest Dragonite immediately which ruined that plan. I had to sac jolt and revenge kill with Tosser. Only set up one dragon dance on the charizard because of air slash flinch and gyarados died to aerial ace from aerodactyl(didn't know it had fucking 130 speed wtf). Tentacruel came in and two shot the Aerodactly, is left at 6 hp. With only 2 dragonites left I switched to CHAOS planning to get damage and sac so I could switch back. CHAOS actually fucking kills the dragonite through 2 full restores by ignoring its paralysis, missing thunders, and shell bell healing. I had to let him go once the last dragonite switched but he served me well. Dragonair switches in to draco meteor and extreme speed chip which triggers the last full restore. Last dragonite is low enough for tentacruel to outspeed and destroy it with ice beam.

Mvp's for Jolt and Hera for being the best pokemon for my entire playthrough and Tentacruel for doing the killing blow. Not in the pic but CHAOS also gets one for winning a fight he had no right to like an absolute beast.

I can't bear anymore grinding so this is where my HG run ends. Going to do Platinum or White next, on the DSi.

Roark uses a potion but doesn't top it off, so the next Water Gun KOs.

Headbutt causes a flinch and does over half Kinguin's health, forcing me to switch into Lil' Abner, who takes a headbutt and SR Damage. He's down to about half health.
I have Abner go for Revenge next, but Cranidos doesn't play ball and uses Leer instead, and thus lives the hit with red health. I'm pretty sure a Headbutt could KO Abner, but I have no good switch to make, so I stay in.
Luckily, Roark uses a potion, leaving me free to get the KO with Low Sweep(which I really should've used over Revenge in the first place)

I understand the hate for Wattson now, what a pain. Both Witch and Omelette being paralysed before Manectric even came out allowed it to set up with howl so it just hit like a truck, and it having quick attack meant my own mach punch priority didn't matter so I ended up losing both. Might have lost even more if not for leech seed draining away at it so I could just buy time by switching around (and using fake out).
Currently in Fallabor, preparing to go up Mt. Chimney to fight team Magma. On the way I added Spicer the Torkoal as my new fire type and Mint the Swablu who I'm not quite sure if I'll keep yet.

Why is a level 12 raticate this scary? Once again, had I not put berries and had I not been able to use paralysis I might have suffered heavy casualties. The One(magnemite) is proving to be a beast, although King Crimson(litten) only underperformed because Raticate called in backup and I had to waste a turn on him.

So far I've only barely avoided casualties, although I'm enjoying the difficulty. It's tough, but I don't need documentation or some bullshit like that to progress.

Been consolidating the rules as I go. Basically taking one encounter per gym but I've been turning down mons I've used a lot in previous playthroughs (eg. Sandile, magnemite). Current team is picrel (obviously), but I also have a modest salazzle with a good spA IV in the box.
As for how I'm going:
>Herdier
Got trapped by centiskorch's gmax move and fell rather untriumphantly. RIP indimidator

>Seismitoad
Got straight up deleted by a sudowoodo's wood hammer from one of the trainers in the rock gym (oops). He was the first pokemon I caught
F

Copperajah got a clutch level up that let him survive hail with 2hp against H*p
Also Talonflame tanked a rock slide

Sup nuzlockers. Since I'm a loser this labor day weekend I'm starting a nuzlocke of Run & Bun, a recent Emerald romhack that's supposed to be notoriously difficult. Also unlike my usual playstyle I'll be looking at the docs, because wynaut? Probably too lazy to make a team template (since things are gonna be dying left and right) but we'll see. No healing in-battle (besides held items) and set mode, as usual.

And now we get to... the slog. The grind. From nine, down to seven...

During the Victory Road training montage, Mikan had swam a little too close towards the Tentacruel-infested waters, and was... injected with deadly poisons. Her mighty fortitude couldn't withstand a tentacle tummy touch.

And at the cusp of traversing through the latter end of Victory Road, in lieu of an enemy trainer getting a W, it was a stray Medicham who took aim, yote, and kicked Qiln into fresh calamari.

But after arriving at the League entrance (and slapping Barry once last time), the time for training has begun.

Garn, Flow, Lura, Nika, Miaka, Inaj, and Mukrow. One of them will have to sit this out. Who will it be? Who gets cut? Who gets to challenge? Who gets to drink in the tears of Cynthia and the Spiritomb who's probably housing the soul of that little girl who begged you to help back in Hisui...?

...And it turns out no in-battle healing + set mode are hard-coded into the game. Cool. This game actually has crazy documentation. There's a whole sheet that explains how the AI works. I could read through it and predict the AI perfectly but even I'm not that autistic.

The most important aspects of this hack are that you get forced level limits and infinite rare candies. The level limits aren't limited to just gym leaders but also "minibosses." Since I'm a filthy doc-looker, I'm basically changing my team up for every specific battle to counterteam trainers. They have crazy strategies like Sticky Web + Salac Berry Belly Drum Munchlax. So far the closest call was against a SonicBoom Yanma (which punished me for forgetting to give my pokemon Oran Berries) but I lucked out with Water Pulse confusion and got away deathless.

Here's the team at Dewford. Feeling lukewarm about the team but it's been holding together. Also love that I got a Bun in Run&Bun and it's Timid nature because of course it is.

Yeah, I wiped to Brawly, who's the first Gym Leader. This was after another brutal fight where I lost 5 mons and it was all downhill from there. I imagine playing this completely blind would be hellish since a lot of pokemon are given good coverage (Brawly's Combusken has Thunder Punch, for example.) that will blindside you easily. I think maybe if I did better on that first fight I might've had a shot but oh well, back to the drawing board. I can't say it isn't fun though.

Update time: Evolutions all round! I evovled Hawaii into Exeggutor right after getting Leech Seed and then loaded it up with Strength and Psychic making it powerful and useful for the team. Went from a weak link to a mainstay member in a few hours! Rushmore evolved into Golem for a nice power boost and Fuji finally evolved into Pidgeot! Today I finished up all the trainers from around mainland Kanto and did Silph Co. Next I'll do Koga and Sabrina back to back. Lost Guinea the Growlithe today unfortunately to a critical hit Sludge from a Weezing in Silph Co. So I guess I don't have to worry about grinding it to level 50 for Flamethrower. I've replaced it with USA the Snorlax, which I just caught on Route 12, but honestly the team feels pretty complete even without it. Going to try and be a bit more cautious because I've really grown to like the current team and I hope to see them make it through to the end!

>Blaine
Branco was 1st up, got outspeed by Ninetales and got hit with Confuse Ray. Hit himself 4 times before connecting 2 Surfs.
Emerson was up next, Growl from Rapidash missed so he was able to 1HKO with Earthquake. Emerson also outspeed Arcanine, used Earthquake and was then killed by a crit Take Down. Arcanine nearly KOd himself. Maicon finished the job with Thunderbolt.
>Giovanni
So, with Emerson dead Romario returned back to the team. I grinded then the team to Lv52 before going to the gym. No problems here as Branco was able to solo the fight without taking a hit.
>Blue
Kept Branco in the first place to deal with Sandslash. Next up was Exeggcute. Switched to Junior, who killed Exeggcute before the SolarBeam would hit. Junior then also KOd Ninetales with 2 Drill Pecks.
Cloyster out, switch to Zico. 1HKO with Hi Jump Kick after tanking an Aurora Beam.
Kadabra then finally showed up, Maicon time, Kadabra set Reflect.Set up Light Screen while Kadabra used Recover. Then 3 rounds of Thunderbolt and Kadabra Recover back to full HP. Until Kadabra decided to use Psychic, which turned into a crit so that Light Screen was ignored, and nearly killed Maicon. Survived on 6/151HP.
Romario then did its part, switching in, tanking another crit Psychic (70% HP) before outspeeding Kadabra and putting it to sleep. Switched to Marta who finished Kadabra and 1HKOd Jolteon with Earthquake.

As Bleatmania's health gets dangerously low, I swap to Beaker the Trumbeak, who lands two Brick Breaks to finish off Lileep as it takes a Giga Drain and an Ancient Power; Beaker sips her Berry Juice to recover health from the Ancient Power attack.
Lycanroc is last, and as I select Roost to heal damage done to Beaker, the foe outspeeds and goes for Bite.

The journey through northern Sinnoh has ended and all 3 lake spirits have been captured, now Diamond and Looker have infiltrated Team Galactic HQ and are about to face Cyrus again.

>Candice
Deneb as Porygon2 goes up against Sneasel first and they trade Faint Attacks and Signal Beams until Sneasel goes down. The behemoth Abomasnow enters next and summons a snowstorm. Predicting a Focus Blast, Hubble in its Heat form takes Deneb's place to phase through the energy orb. Hubble summons a substitute, which is quickly destroyed by a Wood Hammer. Using the diversion to its advantage, Hubble incinerates Abomasnow with an Overheat.
Candice sends out her ace Froslass next, predicting an imminent Shadow Ball and sending in Pluto. Pluto instead tanks a Blizzard on entry, and Froslass tries to hide in the storm with Double Team. Pluto risks a low accuracy Fire Blast and manages to OHKO Froslass. That leaves Piloswine, who immediately goes for Earthquake and misses thanks to Hubble swapping with Pluto. Hubble unleashes another Overheat but misses and takes the brunt of an Avalanche. The final participant of this 4v4 jumps in to defend Hubble, as Aquarius summons a tidal wave to crash through a Stone Edge and drown Piloswine.

So I tried Emerald Kaizo to find out what all the buzz was about, and it's a surprisingly fun game. But everything went just right for this first attempt, so I'm sure I'll change my mind after my first taste of a gen 3 crit explosion.

My Roxanne plan was simple, and also risky, but EK is the sort of game where a riskless Roxanne is delusion. My Luvdisc had horrid special and was unlikely to do more than half with Water Pulse to Nosepass. This let it bypass Sitrus, take a Thunder Wave with Cheri and switch to Kabuto for a clean kill (who had its own Cheri for the second Wave). Anorith in, Kabuto outspeeds and oneshots with Rock Tomb (Naughty nature!), Lileep comes in and gets handled by Gloom. The doc recommends delaying Oddish for Sludge Bomb, but I just want to go as far as I can for now.

Anyway, this brings Lunatone with Confusion, Grovyle comes in and Bullet Seeds it out (with Chesto for Hypnosis). Shuckle gets handled by Grimer, as its only damaging moves are Toxic and Rollout which gets Disabled. It also poisons itself by rolling into Poison Point, which is convenient as I switch to Grovyle on the last turn of poison and take out last 'mon Relicanth. Numel didn't even get to fight anything.

Onward to Rusturf Tunnel. My encounter was a Dunsparce, and while I checked out EK players' boss fights and knew what to expect, I did not watch any catching montages and did not know that rarer 'mons have absurdly low catch rates. Anyway, this Dunsparce dodged like 35 balls and killed my Teddiursa with Pursuit, which I could've played around with ease. Lesson learned, I guess.

Brawly plan was kind of an ad-lib, as my box didn't have anything exceptionally strong. What I did have was Gyarados (which is a monster beyond belief, Adamant with 30 attack/speed, I couldn't have gotten better if I'd cheated for it), a rock resist in Makuhita, and Fake Out on that Makuhita to chip down the lead Hitmontop a bit. Then it clicked that I also had Skitty with Fake Out, and Delcatty is not that useful beyond the early game. So I chipped and killed Hitmontop, Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan with relentless Fake Out pivoting, and brought out Meditite. I then promptly fed Delcatty to it, revenge killed with Grovyle, killed Poliwrath on top, swapped to Luvdisc and Charmed down the Hariyama for Battle Armor Clamperl to handle. The end of that fight got a little dicey as Clamperl ran out of HP and I had to swap to Grovyle to finish the fight, which risked a couple crits.

I'll take a break here and consider what I'll need for the upcoming beach, aqua grunt and rival fights. I hope to make it to Wattson at least.

Seems like things aren't looking up quite yet and losses keep mounting. Last time it was the fighting types, this time it was the flying types' turn. Mint the Swablu fell victim to an unfortunate critical hit against Tabitha. Beggar the Pelliper went down like a champ against Flannery. He oneshot Flannery's Numel, Slugma and Camerupt before they could do anything. Torkoal was a different beast though, I did good damage before the sun was up and I stalled out one sunny day with protect and supersonic, but couldn't kill it quick enough. Eventually poor Beggar got done in by attract immobilizing and body slam paralysis allowing Flannery to set up sun and kill with overheat. My own Torkoal then tanked some overheats to drop her special attack after which Brilliant the Sableye could come in and clean up.
As for team changes, Don the now Machoke came in to add a much needed hard hitter to the team and to replace my previous fighting types for Norman. I'll need a surfer soon so I'll probably grind up Tentacool as my final member. I might wait until after Norman so I have a few more options for one though.

Any game from gens 1-5 would suffice, XY is mostly fine if you play with EXP share off until Victory Road where it's easy to overlevel, ORAS has some weird level caps and it's very easy to overlevevel even with EXP share off. Gen 7 has scaling EXP like Gen 5 so it's mostly fine, and you can still disable the EXP share.
For the newer games, you can still fight every trainer without overleveling but you'll have to either rotate your team with your PC reserves or find a mod that removes the EXP share functionality.

Gen 5 - 2, electric boogaloo. Just watch out for Iris, nearly lost my butterfree last time I ran it because I forgot her ace had focus band.

Sleep Powder and Quiver Dance is a helluva drug tho.

Do you guys use Gyarados in your nuzlockes? I've allowed myself to use it, but it always ends up being a member of my champion team. Kinda feels like cheating.

I don't because 80% of the reason I play nuzlocke in the first place is to let the game surprise me with what team I get each run.
Gyarados is basically guaranteed if you want it.

I only use Magikarp/Gyarados if it’s not a guaranteed catch from the old rod. Getting a guaranteed 540 BST Gyarados feels like cheating, like purposefully abusing the dupes clause to get the one good catch in each area.
So I usually wait until I have the good rod to fish. Sometimes I get a ‘karp, sometimes I get something else.

Snorlax in Kanto in my Crystal run fucked me good and took out my Umbreon.
Also the Elite 4 in Emerald between Drake and Wallace I lost half of my team including my Sceptile. For whatever reason the elite 4 in Emerald always gives me trouble. As a kid I struggled to beat them for some reason too though looking back my type coverage was probably shit.

Whenever I do my runs, I avoid using Pokemon that I've Champed before. It's not like a hard ban or anything, but it means that I won't be reusing them if I can avoid it.
Gyarados actually isn't on that list, but the same rules will apply to it. I'll use it at some point, probably.

Decided to grind out the last of the game today and finish it. Right off the bat Koga was easy Rushmore and Hawaii handled him with ease. Then Sabrina was easy until Alakazam. I was planning on swapping into Rushmore to hit with a strong physical move right away but he got 1 shot by a critical hit Psywave before he could do anything. Probably the saddest death in the entire Nuzlocke, I had grown to really rely on Rushmore and he was my strongest Pokemon at the time. I struggled to find a replacement and ended up settling on Mariana the Cloyster. I don't think it filled the gap left by Rushmore but still did its job and it wasn't too bad having two water types on the team. Luckily Rushmore was the last death of the run! The rest all went smoothly, Blaine was taken care of and so was Giovanni. Blue was a bit scary with his Alakazam but I was able to take care of him. Then there was the Elite Four. I was worried I went in a bit underlevelled but aside from Lorelai's Lapras almost OHKOing Sumida with a crit Ice Beam it was all incredibly easy. Blue's Alakazam and Blastoise were a bit tough but I dealt with them. Sumida and Atlas were definitely the mvps of the league run and I'm glad I was able to bring Fuji through to the end, the last Pokemon I had that was able to get all badges. So what's next, should I go fully autism and do Green before Blue and Yellow? Could be a fun way to practice my Japanese and see all the jank sprites?

That's Boruto's Dad's Dad finished, earning us the last badge of Sinnoh!

Beginning an Autismlocke with the intent of actually finishing it this time! Playing Green to start things off somewhat interesting and then remembering that I don't know Japanese (at least not all that well). I was gonna wait until after Misty to post the first update, since Gen 1 is usually pretty straight-forward, but then the Team Rocket Raticate in Mt. Moon happened and... yeah... It was a slaughter-fest.

I'm pretty bummed I lost so many of my bros early on, especially Ra the Pidgey who was close to evolving and whom I was beginning to see as a brother/rival to my Spearow. He was close to evolving too... sadge. Also, my precious Skinner who I raised from a lowly Metapod and who finally got Confusion and that I even gave Bide. I honestly thought I could take him, even if I was a little unprepared, but I got bodied, and if it wasn't for Pidgey's clutch living with 1 HP and using Sand Attack I would've lost the whole nuzlocke right there. Seriously, He missed my Ivysaur TWICE, which saved my ass. Truly an anime moment.

Now I'm just about to leave this god-forsaken cave, but I'd like a fellow nuzlocker to help me out and pick which fossil I should get. I also need some time to just take in the feels of losing over half my team due to impatience in not wanting to grind nor go all the way back to heal.

Yea, I had forgotten about that Raticate.. Survived through a crit and hyper fanged it though! God speed brother.

Lost our Spearow catch to Mirani critting it from 100-0.

Picked up the Helix fossil for future water type emergency.

Sadly, tragedy struck facing Blue at the bridge. I had to keep swapping through my team because it kept MACHINE GUNNING crit quick attacks. Lost two team members until Luciel took him out with a Fury Attack.

Right now we're mourning losing Miko the Pidgey and Zariel the Zubat, and Zariel had finally gotten Bite so he could level properly..

We lost catching a abra as a route 24 catch due to it breaking out and fleeing, could of used that amazing encounter.

We then picked up Valdo just now, and we're having a training montage for Misty! I suspect Mordecai will handle her well, but I want the rest of my team ready for any nasty surprises, as Starmie is a crit machine.

Now seems like a good time to state how much I fucking HATE grinding, but I'll be damned if I'm gonna lose this to the Nugget Bridge rival, so I got everyone up to at least 17 before taking him on. I used both Rare Candies I had to speed up getting my new Sandshrew Slash, which, HOLY HELL, has made this section stupidly easy. Crit city all day! I've defeated Misty quite easily thanks to Bonzai and I'm now past the house invading Rocket member, but also:

-I Evolved both Fang (who made his way back out of the box after the slaughter at Mt. Moon)
AND Kamikaze, into Raticate and Fearow respectively

-Missed both my opportunities at catches with Routes 24 and 25 which BOTH gave me Abras that I just couldn't catch, so no help there :(

-Taught Dozer the Sandshrew Dig that I just got as well as Seismic Toss, which... well... Like I said I can't read Japanese and so I may have maybe possibly taught him Seismic Toss first by mistake not realizing what TM was what... :/ On the bright side Dozer is now an absolute UNIT, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little annoyed at using up Seismic Toss there.

Anyway, ONWARD TO VICTORY AND MAYBE A NEW CATCH ON ROUTE 5 MAYBE HOPEFULLY

oh yeah and I got tired of waiting so I just snagged the Helix Fossil ;P

Maicon soloed the fight against Lorelei. 1x for Cloyster and Slowbro, 2x for everyone else.
For Bruno, Branco Surfed both Onyxes and Hitmons and then Junior switched in for 2x Drill Peck for Machamp.
Marta led against Agatha, had to break 2 Gengars substitutes before getting confused but still managing to hit with Earthquake. She then shook off her confusion and dealt with Golbat, 2x Ice Beam, and 1HKOd the rest with Earthquake.
Maicon again went first, KOd Gyarados and set up Light Screen. Marta then KOd the first Dragonair with 2 Ice Beams and tanked a crit Hyper Beam, before Branco jumped back in and finished the job with Blizzard, Surf, Blizzard. He actually got hit first by Thunder from Dragonite before killing him, but since it didnt crit death avoided.
Only Blue remained. Branco dealt with Sandslash, then Junior KOd Alakazam and Exeggutor with 2 and 1 Drill Pecks. Maicon switched and got trapped by Cloysters Clamp for 5 turns before finally getting free and killing him with Thunderbolt. Marta then also got trapped with Fire Spin before killing Ninetales with Earthquake and got hit 4 times with Pine Missile from Jolteon before he joined his friends.

I am having an absolute blast playing genwun, more than I really thought I would. This game is great.
I unfortunately lost one of my original soldiers, Silver the Beedrill. He will be missed. He was a good cut slave and a surprisingly good battler. But we press onward.
I've gotten to the point where I can now fight Sabrina and Blaine. I think I'm gonna let slowbro take on Sabrina and blastoise take on Blaine.
Having two water types seems like a bit of a waste, but I really think slowbro is going to be a beast in the elite four and the rest of the game.
I'm realizing that I only pretty much have the trainers in these two gyms then Giovanni to battle.
Where do you get enough exp to beat the elite four? I'm on average level 43 right now and Champion's max is 65! That's quite a jump. Although I don't think I'll need to go higher than 58 or so with my stacked as fuck team, but I don't know.
Also I really am not sure if I wanna grind up snorlax all the way to meet the rest of my guys.
How hard is the Kanto endgame? Do I need to grind? I'm used to having to grind like fuck in gen 2

Dodrio is far superior to fearow in my book, just look at his stats. And at the point you get it, grinding it to 31 to evolve is nothing. AND you can nab tri attack from celadon mart top floor
Its a good mon that doesn't take long to evolve relative to when you obtain it that immediately has access to very powerful stab moves and it gets 110 attack.
normal/flying coverage is pretty god tier in gen 1 also

Made my way to Fantina and beat her. Unfortunately, on the way I lost Meiji to A FUCKING SELF-DESTRUCT. GOD I HATE THIS GAME SO FUCKING MUCH.
Anyways, we've added Shellos and Togepi to the party, along with Shieldon (round three motherfuckers!). Fantina was a hard fight because I had a rough team to deal with her. We lost Samsara to her Mismagius (someone had to be sacked), but otherwise we made it through. Gabe actually clutched the fuck out of the fight by just walling her Haunter. In replacement, we've added Mod the Eevee (who will become an Espeon).

Okay, this is the part of the run that I will either breeze through or stop playing, because I often get bored in between gyms 3 and 4, but I'm trying my damnedest to keep going and muscle through. Might take a break now that I've entered Rock Tunnel. So just to list off the most major bits because Surge was a complete joke with this beast of a Sandslash:

-New encounters include Snorts the Drowzee, who's a new member of the team, Bellsprout (for Cut) and Voltorb (for Flash), boxing Raticate for now

-Every other encounter either got killed before I could catch it (No Diglett sadly), was a duplicate, or was a Meowth that died immediately after catching it and pissed me off enough to have to take a 15 minute break before S.S. Anne (Damn moonrunes strike again!)

-The boat was as uneventful as the Gym, this team is really solid and has held up pretty nicely

-Got a brand new shiny bicycle then immediately put it into a PC storage system somehow

-Item management is bad enough with it being Gen 1, but add Japanese text to it and its proving to be the most challenging bit of the nuzlocke (thank god for Bulbapedia)

Also, I didn't bother with getting the Old Rod, as I'm not sure if I want to use Gyarados in this game yet or not. Will mostly depend on if a space opens up or if I want to get another water type down the road... maybe that Omanyte? Not sure, we'll see I guess.

Yeah, Rock Tunnel seems really daunting right now, and this is supposed to be fun, so I'm gonna take a breather and get back to it later in the day. Good luck everybody with your nuzlockes!

So to get ahead of myself a little bit and give ample time for replies (unlike the fossil question lol), which eeveelution do you guys think I should go with? Keep in mind it's an autismlocke, so I might lock myself out of them for future runs should they make it to the end. Maybe I'll use them, maybe I won't... Its all up in the air so far. The game really opens up at Celadon, so that's the point I'm really looking toward for inspiration.

Keep at it Feelzanon, it's rewarding to watch that Champs list expand as you 'tism your way through the games. Cheering for you! As for Gyarados vs. Omastar, Gyarados obviously gets much better so you might wanna save it for future games. Omastar was pretty useful in my Blue run, so if you don't mind grinding it up, it's worth giving a try! Also you have a Psychic and two grass-types, so I think you'll be chill in Rock Tunnel.

Decided to start a Green run lol. If I get tired of Kanto I'll probably skip Blue since its basically the same as Green just with different sprites. I've had a lot of fun though translating the moves and items and it's my first time properly seeing all the weird sprites that are in Green.

Only death so far has been Chocco the Weedle, because I accidentally swapped it in. It can be hard to tell your mons apart in gen 1, especially when it's in a different language, oh well.

Got through the game pretty quickly last night and just beat Misty before finishing, didn't do anything else in Cerulean though, Ivysaur was able to stomp her easily.

So far the team is Kusukusu or Couscous the Ivysuar, Chiizupan (Cheese bread) the Rattata, Sumatora (Sumatra) the Nidoran Female, Puushi (idk even know with this one it just sounded dumb) the Butterfree who has been really useful after learning Confusion, Burokkii (Blocky) the Spearow and Furekushi (Flexi) the Sandshrew. These names are all over the place, mainly just going with things I think sound nice.

It’s a good thing too cause he evolved right after that battle. Anyways, next Im gonna spend some downtime grinding up my new catches while I collect ash for the blue flute.

I had actually already beat Wattson before I took the break, astoundingly with no deaths. Hoping to keep skippy alive long enough to become a Pelipper so she and Lacks Toes here can handle Flannery. Plus, I gave her the shock wave TM for coverage so I don’t wanna lose out on that investment.

Was it super amusing to abuse wrap+glare in practice? Sounds hilarious. This was actually my first time properly completing gen 1. I've gotten to the elite four when I was younger, and I've beaten fire red, but never original red til now.
I wanna play it again one day and try different strategies. The nuzlocke format made it really fun honestly, but I wanted to spend 100 days catching everything in the safari zone.

So I last beat Gardenia and I now have a full team of 6, i did lose two pokemon before though and currently my team consists of a Prinplup, Bibarel, Shellos, Zubat, Hoothoot and a male Burmy.

My team probably isn't the best since I have like 3 water types and 2 flying types, one which isn't a flying type but will evolve into a flying type if it survives.

Is there anyway to make my team better without changing pokemon assume I don't lose any of the pokemon I currently have.

Jasper came out to cause chaos, thunderbolting Gyarados And Aerodactyl into submission.

Xena then summoned a mighty blizzard to bury Lance's dragons in ice. Go home old man, you're a flying specialist.

Here we go. We may have lost our starter, but we're going to make Mordecai proud.

Jasper had heard of what this Pidgeot did to some of our allies many moons ago in Cerulean. With a mighty cackle he unleashed a powerful thunderbolt!

Next came Alakazam, with Desperados giving it a powerful beatdown with a crit Drill Peck.

Xena took care of Rhydon, drowning it in the most powerful surf she could muster.

Scruffy faced down Exeggutor and made omelets out of it with Flamethrower.

Gyarados was downed by our resident electric flinging ghost, Jasper.

Finally, Xena came back out to deal with Charizard, washing it away with Surf!

I've been running a monolocke of Shield only using grass/poisons. It's been rough here and there, and I could've probably level capped if I allowed myself Rollout Amoongus rather than just wild catch, but it's been fun! Only have Mustard left to beat, and then I've finished it all, besides Regigigas I believe.

The game could be summed up as, Venusaur is busted, Amoongus is a "sleeper" hit, Vileplume is a coverage monster, and Roserade.. exists? But I digress: in order of catch.

Vileplume solo'd Milo, played a hand in Piers, and was half the duo that took out Raihan. Also just incredible play all around, Pixie Plate Moonblast is basically Tera Fairy Vileplume, and Drain Punch honestly came way too late, but it was immensely powerful for the E4 and post-game/DLC.

Venusaur solo'd basically every gym, and that isn't surprising. Solo'd Nessa, Kabu, and Melony, tag team'd Allistair, Opal, and Raihan, big play everywhere. Genuinely bannable in most Nuzlockes, but I can guarantee this would be a nightmare without in this case.

Amoonguss was third, never got the love for the Pokemon until this run. Only reason I could go deathless as well; Spore, yeah yeah, but really, it's that HP + spore allowing switches/items mid-battle. Effect Spore is chef's kiss. You could duo the game with Venu and Rollout Amoongus I bet. Tag team'd Allistair, Opal, and pretty much certified that Leon and Zacian could not budge me.

Roserade was obtained right before Gym 3, as a Budew from curry; they really had a hard time finding a place to fit. It gets (Tox.&Normal) Spikes.. but that's genuinely useless when you have Effect Spore and Spore and Sludge Bomb etc. etc. So it turned into just a Special Vileplume, which is fine but incredibly lackluster when Vileplume is a pretty solid mixed attacker, and Amoongus was enough for the missing coverage w/ Hex+Payback. Helped with Piers, that's about it, and primarily as a safe switch.

Might try mono-fire next.

I didn't realize wild Baltoy knew selfdestruct! Probably the most painful loss so far, I really wanted to bring Dustox all the way and it's such an unceremonious way to go. I hate it.
Ended up taking on Norman with just 4 mons, but Don, Spicer and Brilliant made pretty easy work of him. Half Norman's team couldn't even hit Sableye, and truant is easily taken advantage of.
Afterwards I ended up adding Pudding the Tentacool as my surfer (and special defense to complement Torkoal). I also added Harrow the Trapinch to "invest" into a Flygon for the late game.
Next up was Winona, whose earthquaking Altaria I was kind of dreading. I taught Stereo shockwave do deal with Swablu and Pelliper while Torkoal killed Tropius, then set up with curse against Skarmory to tank against Altaria. It didn't even use earthquake in the end though, and went down very easily. Kind of underwhelming.
Just made it to Lilycove after doing Mt Pyre, with Don and Harrow evolving on the way!
And I forgot to mention it last time, but I love that my Torkoal is hasty nature, I really like the idea of an impatient tortoise as a character.

Splurged most of my cash and got a protein for Larry, otherwise he was going to be a Hitmontop. No thanks, Lee's the better of the three for me based on movesets.

Whitney ended up scary with Clefairy of all things. Used Defense Curl turn 1 to beef up rollout, and it's metronome landed Icy Wind. Almost knocked out our girl Varissa.

She finished her off with rollout and then one shot Miltank though.

Side note: I forgot how cute Dig's animation is in gen 2. You go little shrew.

>>54420487
Yea, still trained him up because I figured having a early fighting mon might help. I'm not the biggest on fighting types but giving it a shot. At least Dizzy Punch is helping.

Victreebell is something I'll consider if Meepo hits the bucket. I'd rather use Weepingbell over the bloody Sunkern I caught for sure. If I manage to get a Oddish somewhere, all bets are off- Vileplume is one of my top pokemon.

Quite a bit has happened since the HQ infiltration, as Diamond and Looker made their way up Mt Coronet to the Spear Pillar. At the summit, Diamond teamed up with Pearl against Mars and Jupiter, where Deneb suffered an untimely death at the hands of Jupiter's Golbat scoring a crit Sludge Bomb while near death. I should've waited to evolve it so it would've had more bulk for this fight....

Shaula strikes at Houndoom with a Soft Sand-boosted EQ, destroying the platform and sending the hellhound to the abyss.
Cyrus' ace Weavile jumps out next with an Ice Punch, but Pluto blocks and takes the punch to his face, angrily unleashing a Flamethrower that finishes off his rival.
Cyrus summons his fearsome Gyarados as Earth volunteers to stand in its way. Predicting an Ice Fang, Hubble zips in the way and smites the serpent with Thunderbolt. Cyrus follows up with both Crobat and Honchkrow, who quickly fall to two bolts.
Honestly surprised that battle went so well. I left out some turns of course, but each of these KOs really were OHKOs.
Now the Galactic Battles are over...

>Volkner
Earth prepares to be the star of a gym again as he dodges Jolteon's Iron Tail and crushes it with EQ.
Luxray is next though, and it has the elemental fangs, so Aquarius surprisingly enters the electric terrain to shrug off an Ice Fang.
Shaula knocks Aquarius out of the way of a Thunder Fang and quakes Luxray to around 1% HP. Luxray strikes back with an Ice Fang that takes Shaula down to half health while Volkner heals his cat. Shaula risks it all on another EQ that manages to bury Luxray.
The ace Electivire is next as the Ghost Bros sub in for Shaula. Both take Fire Punches as Gravastar scorches the hulk, weakening him and chipping away health. Shaula returns to the field to block a Thunder Fang meant for Gravastar and crushes Electivire with EQ.
Raichu is last and suffers the same fate as the rest of its team....EQ.

Much like our last encounter, we got that dreaded message after a Metal Claw: "Lucario's attack has increased!" After a bunch of pivoting, though, we finally brought the beast down without losing anyone (at least not in the actual fight).

Holy shit fucking nice find! Magneton is a great Pokémon. Good stuff on making it past Whitney without a loss, by the way. And congrats on the Red win!

Woo, great encounters so far! Modest Tentacool is great, though I've found myself struggling early with a Tentacool. Tentacruel is phenomenal though.

Lots of wins today, congrats!

Sorry for your loss buddy, Jupiter is always a asshole on nuzlockes.

>>54421806
Grats on beating Maylene, sorry about Jitters.

And yea, I've got magnemite shiny I've bred, but I'm gonna advance it up anyhow. Gameboy mark shinies are pretty rare, so I'll put it in home.

Sorry I failed you anon, Porygon-Z didn't last long enough...
>>54402187
Hell yeah, had to take advantage of the Platinum encounters. Based Blitzle nickname btw.

If I'm doing a random locke outside of my autist challenge, yes, but if I find a Water type I normally don't get to use, Gyara is replaced. Also to up the difficulty a bit.
>>54410497
I create a copy of my current save and clear out the boxed/dead mons so I can look back at the previous run. It's the easiest way for me to carry over champs.

Hope to see Melon Cup wipe out Aaron's team. Looks like he needs some action.
>>54412309
Hat's off to the new E4 (Maicon, Branco, Marta, and Junior). Not surprised that Zico didn't see any action, Fighting is kinda bad for this E4.
>>54413222
Flareon would be best here since Jolteon and Vaporeon are better in later gens.
>>54415177
Rare Spinda sighting.
>>54415713
Good one
>>54417865
Blastoise once again proves to be the goated Kanto starter.
>>54418068
You'll want to at least replace Hoothoot and Burmy eventually, their evolutions will be overshadowed by Crobat later on.
>>54418646
Cracked team, congrats. RIP Mordecai though
>>54418725
Really cool idea, never would've expected Vileplume to get Drain Punch too.
>>54419028
Great strat for that stupid Altaria, that thing's screwed me over a few times.
>>54421379
Solid shiny catch, and I agree with >>54420487 definitely get Slowking, he was the MVP of my Crystal run. And YEAH, crazy how Jupiter has been responsible for all of my deaths in this run.
>>54421806
Great name for your Togetic, Gabriel is my Togekiss' name in BD and he was an absolute monster after evolving.

Lena handled Morty easily!

She one shot his entire gym before shoving his ghosts into her OWN bottomless pit!

>>54422060
Yea, poor dude was rocking Lorelei then missed his razor leaf.

Jupiter ALWAYS ends up eating a memebr or two of my team. That purugly is AWFUL.

I have officially ran into both Raikou and Entei in the grass below Ecruteak now. Just waiting on Suicune to show up, not let me run, then run.

Meepo handled Chunk with Leech Seed, Sleep Powder, and a few tackles!

Now we need to do a training montage and grind for Jasmine.
