For your next video can you do Pokémon soulsliver with only water types? (Since totodile is your favourite Johto starter)

[@BillPhurnell]

Lol no

[@JeeReeAnimation]

Might as well just dislike and leave.

[@makenziestancer146]

Hey silph what are the chances of you doing a challenge mode HC monolocke of these games ??

[@PedroHenrique-mk5zi]

Fun Fact: Despite being a physical attacker, Unfezant only gets 3 physical moves by level up. Quick Attack from the start, Facade at level 55 and Sky Attack at level 66. It took until Gen 8 for it to receive Brave Bird and only by TR. Game Freak just didn't gave a sh!t about this bird.

[@fanofluxray]

Not like anyone else cares about Unfezant lol

[@bigslappy823]

@fanofluxray Even as a taxi, it's outclassed by Swanna since it can both Fly and Surf. The Pidove line is the epitome of underwhelming.

[@jaiden8529]

​@@bigslappy823It's always so sad to me cause i actually like the male form of Unfezant:( People hate on them too much cause of their shitty movesets

I love how the opelucid gym fits white 2 so much better, they didn’t even bother trying to make it fit in with the futuristic black 2 opelucid

[@ES-dp6tw]

Something of a personal irony that Yanmega is my favourite flying-type yet I lament it didn't sneak into the dragon-type. Well, a great run through a great game is always appreciated.

[@ethanbuck1403]

is it just me who thinks in this type of run you should just guarantee the Vespiqueen

[@ryanshuler2362]

I'm starting to think that Nuzlockers should add a "Combee/Vespiquen clause," where you can re-roll your Combee encounter until it's a female one since it's only a 12.5% chance to get one.

[@clanedogg1]

Add salazzle too.

[@drewbigdoopa3464]

You can… in lostlorn forest you can use repel and go into shaking grass for a 5% chance of vespiquen and 0% chance of any other flying Pokémon. I’ve done this run before

[@timmaia5082]

I agree, would be both more fun for us to watch and for him to play

[@venustoise4389]

Yeah, Game Freak made it a little too hard to get Vespiquen and the chances of actually getting it on the first go are so slim, just allow it

[@fumeknightofshovelry3901]

"The Pseudo Legendary [Flying type] Dragons" he says at the start, while showing Noivern (who is not a Pseudo Legendary) and Dragapult (who is not a Flying type).

[@Zimerick]

He also said Colress had a "fully evolved Magneton" during the World Tournament fight lol

shame for shitty Raid shadow

[@DrPotatoSkins]

Yanmega reppin' the thumbnail! Love that thing! If you need a run suggestion, how about Pokemon Platinum with only QUADRUPED (four-legged) Pokemon? No more, no less. If it stands on four legs the vast majority of its life, it's fair game.

[@Iris_Haze]

Idk how to explain this but your videos are the reason I’m going to the gym everyday. I’ve been watching your videos for a little over a year now, and have been rewatching them while exercising. Thank you for your fun and entertaining videos, Silph! :D

[@benwarped7272]

this is great❕

[@Iris_Haze]

@@benwarped7272 I really appreciate you! :D

[@zinniaferguson461]

I think the biggest accomplishment of this run is getting Swanna to the elite four and champion fight, and having it be useful. They're such an underrated mon, glad to see it get some attention.

[@ManDyter]

Lol at that Deerling running casually through the wall at 23:52

[@shirox11]

A Silph Nuzlocke is just what I needed this morning.

[@karnavatar]

Great video as always! Just my two cents: 42:36 There you should have went with Swords Dance since a full restore was guaranteed. From there on you probably could have definitely one shotted Lapras and maybe even some more of his mons. Great run though!

[@neye2343]

28:50 I loved the Edge Chronicles as a kid!! So glad to hear an awesome series be mentioned by an awesome KZbinr!

[@Andre_sa06]

Oh yeah, my favourite poketuber playing my favourite pokémon game with my favourite Type in the game. Nothing better that this

[@LAZERAK47V2]

Just want to comment about Cheren's battle in case people are having trouble. He'll always try to buff his stats with Work Up, so if you have a Pokemon with Growl, you can actually negate all his attack buffs and he'll run out of PP before you do. Since neither of his Pokemon have any Special Attacks, you have nothing to worry about. Obviously, you should only really do this if you're playing super safely for a Nuzlocke or something. Just brute force him on a casual run.

[@BadgerPride89]

i'm glad someone else is extolling the virtues of emolga. she carried my black nuzlocke to victory back in the day.

[@Flaris]

At this point I'll always presume the answer is yes. At this point Silph has played through so many of these that he's got them down to a system. Good on the strategy and more than capable to smoothly get through these.

[@shocktohp7314]

Did not expect the Edge Chronicles callout. What an under rated series.

[@isaiahpayne5488]

Dude just found your channel and feel sad about missing out for so long! Been binging your vids thanks for great all around content!

[@YourPalAlRetroGamer]

Silph, can you name your next starter that you won't use, Bart? It's in reference to a Simpsons' episode where Bart's class goes to a box factory, they lose him, so they contacted Homer who sees an unfinished box with Bart's hat, and he says; "My boy is a box!".

[@MangaSword8]

Silph. At 28:55 you literally found the book I was friggin hunting down for years man. God you’re amazing!!!!

[@TheRageBaiter]

0:14 ah yes, dragapult *the flying type*

[@Kamiyoda]

Actually you can paralyze Electric types normally in Gen 5, in fact if it was the way it was in Gen 6 and onward you would not be able to paralyze them with Static either.

[@PlatmanStyleTV]

Silph nuzlocke for the morning coffee? Yes please, ill take 2 👀

[@Mr_Mcgee_]

23:49 did anyone else notice the two deerling clipping through each other, and how one of them goes and clips through the wall? 🤣

New Hardcore Rule: Male Combee Clause If you get a male Combee, you are able to get a new ability because screw male Combee. This will also apply to Salandit.

[@ProfJayBee]

Love the flying type. It was always my favourite. Finally, with a functional flying electric type in kilowattrel, the type is getting better. Need more flying fire, and flying ground types

[@Feythful]

Yes! Edge Chronicles were amazing! Have never heard anyone else mention those books

[@JS-ix6rk]

I would love to see your take on a Genlocke: sending the eggs of your surviving hall of Fame team to the next chronological game and seeing how far some lines can survive. (Ex, Leaf Green to Emerald to Platinum to Soul Silver to Black to White 2 to X to Alpha Sapphire to Ultra Sun to Shield to Scarlet)

[@willie153]

Id love to see you do challenge mode runs in the future for these games, would be very fun to watch

[@edisonzhang3765]

27:10 I like the subtle ‘Team Leader Silph chooses Bradshaw over Hangman’

Oh yes, an Edge Chronicles shout out? 10/10 for nostalgia

[@RedDragonForce2]

Sigilyph is Gen 5’s best Flying Type.

[@qorv4973]

I think there should be a gender clause for mons like Combee, Burmy and Salandit. Wed be cool with that

[@lancelotdubois7694]

You should do rom hacks too ! (Sacred Gold/Storm Silver ; Renegade Platinum ; Volt White...etc)

[@mythology2467]

[@Jajanken98]

I know you did a Water type team recently, but I would love to see a Water type in Pokémon HeartGold SoulSilver or Pokémon X/Y using only pokemons that you didn't use Like in Johto, Feraligatr is one of inicials that you never used

[@joester415]

I’ve never heard anyone reference the Edge chronicles since I read them as a kid. Blew my mind. Awesome vid as always.

As a dog owner who has had to stop her 100lb dog from eating so many things, honestly I think Pokemon would be thrilled to eat leftovers off the sewer floor.

[@beta4239]

Swanna STAYS goated! My Swanna was my first ever level 100 Pokemon in my Pokemon Black save file (that I still have), and she carried me through pretty much the whole Elite Four, N, and Ghetsis, and helped to fill out my Pokedex that I finally completed recently. S tier Pokemon, despite the middling stats.

[@NathanWooley]

Silph, i would love to see you do a Nuzlock of any game while only using Bird Pokemon. Not interested in their types. Only their 'species'. If they resemble a bird, you can use them. Even if they don't have the Flying type. Torchic being an example. Thanks for the videos!

[@thekajunpredator]

you are 100% correct. Black 2 is the undisputed best pokemon game created. From storylines, to difficulty and just the longevity of the game itself, Incredible. Blows the others clean out of the water. This is the type of pokemon games we need nowadays. Whatever they are doing now, just aint it! xD

[@closetevangelism]

Silph I don’t know if you bugged my house or if we just share a brain cell, but I started this exact Nuzlocke two days ago. And this is not the first time this has happened. Ground in Sapphire, Dark in Emerald, Fire in Black 2, Fighting in White, and Flying in Platinum. It’s starting to get a little creepy man

[@Razi-e]

Funnily my first thought seeing the title was ‘You never see anyone using Swanna’ glad you proved how great they are.

[@iovyrq]

Can’t believe Silph just referenced one of my fave book series! (Edge Chronicles) Seriously recommending it to anyone who likes the LOTR/Harry Potter/fiction books.

[@CardinalTreehouse]

I love your videos they really help with my anxiety , this is my first ever comment on a KZbin video . I’m 30 next birthday and this if you can do a new video old school on red/blue/yellow/gold/silver/crystal, maybe water ? That would be amazing !

[@flaviocj1789]

Everyday is a good day when silphspectre posts a new video!

[@philipspigelmeyer959]

I'm pretty sure Metcalf(gliscor) is prolly a top 5 pokemon. Not including megas. Like if it has poison heal with leftovers or no item for acrobatics it's just a busted mon. It has everything you need. (Healing, hits like a truck, good type, decently fast, not super bulky but enough). All around amazing.

[@LaLaBrave]

I will always use any and every excuse to use Crobat. Speedy, strong, and utterly adorable.

Swoobat was my first ever full odds shiny so it holds a special place in my heart. I already liked it, but catching it’s shiny and using it in my B2 run a couple years ago made it one of my favorite mons
