Some people say that evasion strategies are cheating or dishonorable, I say everything is fair whenever you have to beat an extra dimensional dragon god.

Word of advice: Araquanid learns Mirror Coat at level 50. If you give it a focus sash you can one-shot U-Necrozma on the first turn

Just an FYI you could have had a vikavolt at blush mountain. Ultra sun and moon made it an magnetic field

[@BrandonClaridge]

True. It is only in the original Sun and Moon that you have to wait for Vast Poni Canyon. It is easy to overlook Blush Mountain as it is an optional area, but you can get Vikavolt and Magnezone so much earlier in USUM because of the addition of the special magnetic field there.

[@johnmccarton4900]

@@BrandonClaridge yes that is pretty much what the first comment said

[@abrarkadabrar7829]

@@johnmccarton4900 explanations do no harm. Maybe someone didn't know and learnt something new from the explanation. Heck, Antler definitely didn't know, or at least didn't during the video.

[@zexyzane]

I discovered that by accident when my Magneton leveled up and straight up evolved. I wondered WTF! Didn't know that was possible on purpose.

I really appreciate that they did that because the third island in my opinion is the perfect time to get the power of Vikavolt

Just an FYI for the next time you encounter a mon with Aftermath, the ability only works if the move that kills it is a contact move, and since Shadow Ball wasn't a contact move you would've been fine to stay in with Masquerain

[@SplattyEggs]

I’d love to see a Sword or shield mono Grass nuzlocke, so many choices and it’s going to be a tough challenge vs Kabu and Leon’s Unbeatable charizard.

[@inferno9237]

Speaking of which, has anyone ever told you that Leon is the unbeatable champion? I'm sure no one from Galar told you that, so I thought I might mention it.

If I remember, Aftermath only activates if the target uses a contact move on the Pokémon with that ability, and since Masquerain is mostly a special attacker, the switch was unneccessary. That's my only minor gripe on this amazing Hardcore Nuzlocke.

[@AtomicxxJM]

I actually love the bug type. I'm glad they are getting stronger mons in the last couple gens

Honestly I'm really happy you used Masquerain, one of my favourite pokemon, as a pretty good sweeper. Seeing it demolish Accerolas team and seeing it stand its game with some strong ass pokemon like Volcarona and Golisipod makes me happy

[@noix666dezephir]

Just watched a documentary about parasitic insects. Then this nuzlocke reminding everyone bug type is one of the worst. Justice for bugs. They are monsters lol P.S. : you’ll always be an absolute legendary miss. Like Sandra Bullock in Miss Congeniality. You’re Sandra Bullock. Alola Sandra Bullock.

Blush Mountain has an electromagnetic field, so you could have gotten a Vikavolt earlier.

Love your videos! I'd love to see poison only Diamond/Pearl! (Diamond would probably be better as it has Skuntank as a version exclusive)

[@Poketom-ob1dl]

5:40 actually dewpider is available just before the trail. (Not that I’d think it’d be the key player in that specific trial or anything) The trial doesn’t start until the totem itself so the Pokémon before it are fair game Edit: my bad, I haven’t played it in a while

[@charlesphilebaum8793]

I'm pretty sure that is only in regular sumo. I think in the ultra games they changed it so that the trial starts at the beginning

[@DactylBomb]

I think the reason why Lycanroc didn't go for Continental Crush is because Araquanid is part Water and Bug, so the game might only register the Water part, and decide that they would not be able to K.O you with Continental Crush. It's at least the only thing I can think of!
