Things i learned this video: -struggle is actually pretty decent early game -numel is a horse

[@compy3835]

The more you know

[@SerechII]

I learned about rollout having interactions 👀

[@InsertFunnyThingHere]

First Mudsdale is almost a horse now this

[@azhimahmad5652]

Psyduck is a chicken

[@BidinkGameZ]

You also learned that noses evolved

[@poketrainerjames7246]

For those wondering, rollout and ice ball doesn’t actually have to be used immediately after defense curl, using defense curl boosts them until the user is KO’ed, swaps out, or the battle ends

[@ProphecyPhrase]

Wait what? Really? I never knew that.

[@Sir_Dwarf]

Wow ! Thx bro

[@Bigbicksy1067]

This is it, the ultimate tip

[@S73V3N0D0]

It's cool to see interest in my smaller mods, I hope you enjoyed it! (Haven't watched the full video yet) For those also interested, I have updated this mod with some visual changes (TMs now also show as having only 1 PP and some more screens like learning a new move or the move relearner have been updated too), and I have made a version for FireRed as well!

[@evanczthehunter57]

This challenge actually sounds quite interesting. Any chance this can be made in gen 4?

[@JustJordanParker]

Do you have a list of all the mods you've done?

You should change the name text of Struggle to "Snuggle" so all the pokemon can snuggle their way to victory :3

@@evanczthehunter57 modding gen 4 is a bit more limited but I think it should be doable, just would require a bit more effort and I just haven't given it a shot yet, and to be completely honest I probably won't unless asked by a creator since I have a bunch of others project I wanna work on

I think technically the strongest move in the series is technically Last Respects with a theoretical maximum power of 5050, but it’s definitely up there with rollout, sharpness fury cutter and stored power.

[@furiouscorgi6614]

It has a 'practical' cap of like 550, due to using Revival Blessing 10 times (5 users and Leppa Berries on all, 1 Last Resorter), you can only get higher in hackmons by also using Lunar Blessing (signature to Cresselia, Revival Blessing but restores PP, could be the wrong move idk)

[@melvint-p9500]

Revives exist so you could go way higher in single player

[@furiouscorgi6614]

​@@melvint-p9500in the context of a nuzlocke or competitive it doesn't really apply

[@umadachi]

though isn't rollout also capable of the highest single damage hit in the game thanks to some sort of power swap shucknanigans?

@@furiouscorgi6614Sleep talk doesn't consume power points from the moves it calls, so you could hypothetically rest + sleep talk for more revival blessings.

Flygon, you are a great storyteller, as my disdain for Steven comes almost entirely from his refusal to ever return home despite the repeated letters his father sends him. I am happy that Nosey has evolved, and who knows? Maybe someday he'll become a trainer himself, and may yet get to meet his brother by getting to deliver a letter himself one day.

[@cyberdarkturtle6971]

Garchomp FJ deserves his own video. Also, please do a Green Lock in Scarlet for Saint Patrick's day

[@danielhale1]

Garchomp FJ's videos all end with him failing at the 1st or 2nd gym or to a random trainer, followed by a long rant about how the luck was unfair, and then continuing the game as though the deaths never happened. He gets more and more terse with chat as they call him out, until he finally ends the stream and submits a highly edited video claiming he did it all with no deaths. :D

[@Di7manya]

It could be a cool April Fool's video to make a video starring Garchomp FJ

I have watched almost every single one of your nuzlockes and the Wailord sprite being huge may be my favourite thing in any of them

[@San-lh8us]

yeah mine too lol, do you know what video was the first time he did that?

[@DhrAaldert]

Two Nuzlocke ideas: - Lowest% -> You are only allowed pokemon with an appearance rate below X%. Like jn Johto using only 1% encounters like Snubbull and Yanms - Nuzlocke Exchange Programm. Now with backwards compatibility you can have one person do a Paldea Nuzlocke while the other does a Galar Nuzlocke. Every capture will be traded (only tradeable captures are eligible).

[@johnnyshortfor]

You know it’s about to get tense as all hell in a Flygon video when the ‘When Johnny Comes Marching Home’ starts playing

[@Wildcat2017]

Honestly one of the best part of every video is Flygon trying to find a new and unused segue for the one and only Squarespace.

[@Ferroseed597]

Hey! Do a nuzlock with only rotoms! You can use whatever forms you want and switch them whenever, but once one form is gone, you can't use it anymore

Flygon: Pepper is THE god! Peach: What is a god to a nonbeliever?

[@RayLegend06]

Don't know if you'll ever see this Flygon, but I wanna say how much of an inspiration you've been. I finally started my first mono type Nuzlocke last year (grass type in Alpha Sapphire), and it's been a majorly difficult attempt. Even with special rules to assist me, since I'm not skilled at Nuzlocke runs, some parts like Winona were terribly daunting. I recently jumped back into it after a hiatus and am proud to say I am finally grinding for the Elite Four and preparing to try and close out the run. I don't think I would have found the motivation to pick it back up without all of your insane challenge runs that you still end up overcoming. So thank you for being that guy, and wish me luck!

[@Br0oham]

Man, the fact that Marill hit a Defense Curl'd 5-Hit Rollout _and_ Crit is a very positive way to start the run

[@siamehussain8392]

these new nuzlocke challenges are getting really creative hope you do an under-400-base challenge again but for one of the other regions black and white is probably impossible lol

[@noahlevine5534]

An neat idea for a Nuzlocke could be a Jimtendo run with all of the Gym Leaders and E4's rematch teams. They can be really tough and would be a new team building challenge.

Great vid Flygon! Once again I’m requesting a Ballocke in Sword/Shield 😁 You can only use each kind of Pokeball once, and the Cram-o-matic is banned! Ball Guy gives you exactly one of each of the Apricorn balls, so that’d be a real test of OneBallHG. In fact, you could make it even more of a challenge by literally only allowing one throw of each type of Pokeball, including the ones that you could get multiple of ☺️ I did this in Shield, and finished with an honestly cracked team of Cinderace/Flygon/Claydol/Salazzle/Goodra/Gyarados. Would be curious to see what encounters you get!
