Can Sinnoh Pokémon Even Beat a Violet Nuzlocke?

I attempt to beat a Pokemon Scarlet hardcore nuzlocke using only the original 103 pokemon from Sinnoh. Can I do it or will I lose?
This was defiantly the most stressful run yet so I hope you guys enjoy!

Empoleon(Piplup by default) is actually best Sinnoh starter. It only has 3 weaknesses and NO quad weakness. Empoleon is weak to electric, fighting and ground. Torterra (Turtwig with NO weakness changes by evolution) is weak to bug, fire, flying and quad weak to ice. Infernape(Chimchar after evolving once into monferno) is weak to flying, ground and psychic and has poor defences unlike the other two. Piplup and Prinplup are weak to grass but learn peck and/or drill peck via level up so can naturally counter this weakness. As a starter (no breeding) Chimchar needs TM usage to learn a fighting type move early to counter it's rock type weakness and rock tomb is taught to it by TM later to counter it's evolution gained flying weakness. Turtwig relies on defense boosts from moves like withdraw or iron defense until it can learn a rock type move(mostly via TM) to counter it's bug and flying type weaknesses. So Turtwig is actually the worst Sinnoh starter as it has 4 weaknesses and keeps them throught it's evolution line with one becoming eventually becoming a quad weakness, whereas the other 2 either drop 1 weakness entirely or change weaknesses as they grow.(Empoleon drops the grass weakness Piplup and Prinplup had and Infernape exchanges rock weakness for psychic.)

@user-cf7iu7rn5s while appearance change/cuteness loss was indeed true the question raised in the video was about usage as a Pokémon and in battle. Piplup is actually the best starter in that regard as it has 2 type weaknesses and learns a move that counters it by level up, therefore it's not a poor battler as described. Torterra loses Turtwig's cuteness as does Infernape chimchar's cuteness like you said but the argument in the video was about battle capabilities rather than appearance.

[@AloneTheorist]

@@levipearson9020 if Infernape is 'just better' then, explain how Empoleon can survive it's super effective Close Combat without the need for a held berry to decrease the damage OR the Affection effect in modern games. Infernape doesn't stand up to Empoleon using surf, liquidation, etc or even Drill peck on a physical/neutral build. Empoleon can learn multiple moves to take out the other 2 Sinnoh starters, with super effective damage, with 2 of the moves learned, being counters per opposing starter. Something they can't do in return to Empoleon. Torterra gets just 1 super effective counter move in Earthquake and Infernape gets 2, but one is originally only taught by a move tutor; Close Combat is learned by levelling up and Thunder Punch by either a move tutor or a TM in modern games. Empoleon can learn Drill Peck(levelling up, Evolution) Ice beam (by TM) and Earthquake (by TM) depending on the generation, giving it overall 3 counters against 2 opponents with at least 2 counters to each opponent. Ice and flying for Torterra and Flying, Ground and Water for Infernape. Piplup's evolution line was made to suffer in the early gyms(Gardenia's specifically) of Diamond/Pearl/Platinum's era because it's final evolution was overall the strongest. It's appearance may lack a gimmick, (i.e it's not Sun Wukong or an Island Turtle.) being that it's a semi metallised Emperor Penguin but in the simple, defined terms of the games; Pokémon typing, stat spread and move set versatility, Empoleon just simply is the best Sinnoh starter. I don't hate the other 2, I just understand that their aesthetics were more their prime feature whereas Empoleon traded in aesthetics for better battle capabilities. Even Torterra can beat Infernape if it has a defensive nature/build. As Infernape CANNOT survive a s.t.a.b super effective Earthquake from Torterra due to it's weak/frail defense stats (it would have to hold a focus sash), meaning the weakest of the 3 Sinnoh starters, Torterra can beat Infernape if all of Infernape's speed and attack power can't deal a guaranteed OHKO to Torterra. Infernape is the second best starter due to it's glass cannon stats, while cool to look at in design, it's battle abilities let it down as it, like Blaziken before it, often MUST secure an OHKO to win. No doubt it's a cool looking Pokémon but Infernape simply isn't the best Starter in Sinnoh, it's the second best (battle wise).

Ever since I first saw Lucario when I was a kid, it's been part of my life as a Pokémon fan. I've picked Lucario up in every game it's a part of for years now, so I don't know why I'd change that. As for this run, it was really nice to see Lucario put in a lot of work

[@beatindermaur4798]

I'm wrapping up my own beat pokemon blabla with blabla and have a lot more respect for how long these videos take and how much running around/ grinding are in between all the main battles. Also a cool original idea to do it with regions instead of typings/shinys that I haven't seen anywhere else.

Bruh, why can you reply to your own comments :D

I know you want to make things as difficult as possible but maybe tone down on some of the rules. Especially the whole no set moves. Like it just really limit the interesting strategy options, which is kind one of the funnest parts of watching nuzlockes.
