Steel types are remarkably powerful physically, but their special stats and speed are quite terrible on average. With that said, what if we got access to the full spectrum of Steel encounters in Pokemon Black 2, could they beat the game's hardest challenge - a hardcore nuzlocke with only Steel types?

We've done some hard Pokemon challenges in the past, but usually they were a solo Pokemon challenge run. What if we still did a really difficult challenge... but with a full team using hardcore nuzlocke rules, and with only one type? Today we find out: can I beat a Pokemon Black 2 Hardcore Nuzlocke with only Steel types? No items and no overleveling!

Monotype Hardcore Nuzlocke Ruleset:
(1) If a Pokémon faints, it must be permanently boxed or released.
(2) Only the first type-specific Pokémon encountered in each Route/Area can be caught.
(3) No Legendaries/Mythicals, duplicates, or same-evolution-line Pokémon can be caught or used. If a duplicate is encountered, the next unique type-specific Pokémon encounter can be caught.
(4) Additional Pokémon may be caught for the purpose of HM use, but these may not be used in battle at any time during the run.
(5) No Items can be used in battle (Held Items are allowed).
(6) Party Pokémon levels are limited to the highest level Pokémon of the next Gym Leader or Elite 4 Member. So long as your Pokémon are at or below the level cap when the Gym Leader/Elite 4 Member battle starts, they can level up mid-battle.
(7) "Set" Battle Mode must be used at all times.
(8) No connecting with other games for the purposes of importing Pokémon, Items, etc.

[@jophyyuan8348]

For your next hardcore nuzlocke, do a pokemon run with only pokemon that can mega evolve.

[@guilhermeribeiromichelino3852]

I was watching your first Nuzlocke ever now It is crazy how much u improved over the 2 years

[@tomiokagiyu2664]

Can you please do a platinum bug type you have not done that one🙏🙏

[@Rydeman2]

Do a run of B2W2 in CHALLENGE MODE. You choose the type.

[@saffronsolos7699]

FlygonHG used to do those and discovered they’re actually easier than regular mode because the stats are the same as non challenge mode lower level mon but the level caps are higher for runners. It would sadly be less of a challenge for our dude

[@Rydeman2]

@@saffronsolos7699 Not if you take that into consideration and kept your original level cap. It would be harder with opponents having extra pokemon and held items.

[@XyrnaTheTrainer]

Yep, plus your opponents would have better move sets, so overall playing in challenge mode but keeping regular mode level caps for yourself would make it harder, like Rydeman mentioned.

[@skibot9974]

@@saffronsolos7699true but the opponents have better moves and more Pokémon

[@riccardodonarini5238]

I think Flygon HG did One likes that

[@flameshock1013]

I gotta admire Silph's bravery for that Clay fight. He willingly chose to risk the entire run just so he can have more encounters later on than sacrifice a few encounters for a much easier fight. If it were me, I would've taken the easy way out and gotten my next encounter right away.

[@matthewlacey4198]

But he still forgot to grab a Metang in the Giant Chasm :(

[@berryNtoast32]

The Magnezone line carries so well in B2W2! I remember praising it during my first playthrough. That immunity to poison against Roxy is great.

[@matthewlacey4198]

I did a run where I used a Lucario early on, and Lucario's resistance to Bug and Poison + Return from Bianca + Work Up from Cheren just let me sweep right through the second and third gyms

[@user-op6kt8pg9y]

B2 is probably my most played pokemon game and ive still neber used one 😂

[@MrMusic724]

Silph, thank you for continuing doing these challenges, I never get tired of seeing all the classic games again but in a new way. Thanks again 👊👊

[@TheDarkSide11891]

Interestingly enough, you can actually get Beldum as your very first encounter in this run using the Dream Radar! I did it myself once for a steel only run of BW2 .

[@SpudNug69]

Dropping a 'Daddy chill' whilst I am taking a drink is actually attempted murder

[@TheBT]

Sewaddle having a higher defence stat than Snorlax makes sense. Snorlax doesn’t really have much to defend itself, it can just absorb a lot of damage (thus high HP). Defence is more about ease of hitting, such as armour or just being small.

[@reddragonpress]

Lucario *alone* trivializes B2W2 😝 I used one in my playthrough of White 2 and it was a MUCH easier time than White had been for me.

[@NoTengoDinero69]

I really like your videos Silph. You’d think the concept would grow old over the years, but the commentary and jokes help a lot. The constant type/game change makes them fun to watch.

[@sunnicune3396]

Always a good day when Silph has a new video for us. Thank you for putting so much work into these. You are genuinely funny and it's obvious that you care for these games and pokemon. Love to see it!

[@maliceunbound2375]

When I heard Silph say he was thinking of a deathless run, my first thought was, “Ya can’t say that before you fight Marshall. He’s literally the only major threat.” Lo and behold, his one death comes to Marshall

[@MasterCrawford343]

Fun fact about the pokestar studios. Brycen isnt the only gym leader you can find there, apparently Sabrina from Kanto's Saffron City can also be seen there.

[@Ghostface1998]

Every single time that I’ve played BW2 I always make sure to get a magnemite. Such a great Pokémon to use for this game practically a necessity.

[@dariamvs]

Gen 5 is my favourite, I'm always happy when you make a nuzlocke in it!

[@nickybecnel5047]

Silph, when I tell you I’ve been WAITING for this one 🔥 Edit: SILPH! You forgot to get Metagross man! That encounter could’ve been a game changer for you it so powerful

[@anthonyanglemyer]

This may have been one of your best challenge runs yet. I really enjoyed this! Thank you again! Also, according to your pinned Twitter post, your 'project' isn't due until around near the end of February, maybe going into March? Really looking forward to that, your teaser trailer left me with a good amount of anticipation. 😁

[@ya3mour]

These videos are an absolute joy. keep it up Silph

[@MegaInfernapeAkins]

Congratulations on winning and you almost beat it deathless too. You will get it next time for sure and keep up the success on your channel bro.

[@Firet111]

I just did a Steel-type run myself last week in the rom hack of Volt White 2 (not a nuzlocke run, just no using items in battles). Pretty tough in some areas of the game. Things to take away from the hack is that if a trainer has a flying type, it most likely to know Heat Wave & setup entry hazards 'cause of sturdy/focus sash users. I did enjoy the type changes to certain 'mons (Probopass is now rock/electric), ability changes (Klink line having Levitate), and stat/evolution changes (Riolu evolves by knowing aura sphere instead of friendship). They also added in Gen 6-8 moves (ex.: Wave Crash, Highhorse Power, Moonblast). Probably play again with a different type when I'm up for it again.

[@trentcrim1933]

Been doing my first nuzlock on challenge mode black 2. And lemme tell you magnezone and Swanna are surprisingly amazing together.

[@rb4734]

I recently did a steel run in Pokemon Y. Loved it to bits, steel has amazing coverage! Keep up the good work Mr Silph.

[@SolNoctis_]

First off love seeing new ones of these on my feed, second honestly would love to see a rock or ghost type run of sword or shield. Keep up the good work.

[@milandekleine2]

Nice video again! One question: can we expect real power tournament series any time soon?

[@slycooper914]

Broooo I mean when I say you’re biiiig brain brotha these videos?! I looooove watching these seeing the different strats! Good luck with everything going forward bro😊

[@bigslappy823]

Kudos on making Clay's fight harder just for extra encounters. When I tried this monolocke, I just used the Escavalier you can get from Route 6 and built my plan around it. For whatever reason, Clay's Excadrill doesn't know what to do with it because he just kept going for ineffective Metal Claws and Slashes every time.

[@machamp-ion8032]

So stoked about new videos from you brother.

[@davidbeales4270]

Congrats on 250k Silph!!! Knew you could do it 💪

[@svt9165]

I love this channel. I'm always looking forward which challenge Silph is coming up with.

[@montelvontaviouspore]

Are you planning on continuing the regional True Power Tournaments still Silph? I Really enjoy them and find myself rewatching the first three over and over again 😅 much love

[@danielhenderson8000]

I have been a long time lurker and have been loving these videos. Let's me live vicariously through your Nuzlockes with a fraction of the time. lol But I gotta comment now because....you had an epic Aggron! And never used him! Heartbreaking. Still, great video as always, always happy to see a new run.

[@cunningcthulu7125]

Thus the Thursday became blessed by a silph video. Perfect timing

[@incognitoinhell8742]

Hey Silph, I dunno if you take requests, but a fun challenge could be Bug Types in Scarlet/Violet - There's a surprising amount of diversity with Pokémon, especially with the Teal Mask, and the game's honestly really hostile to Bug Types, given each badge in the base game covers all the types. Great video as always 😄

[@visioapparel4302]

Only halfway through but this is looking to be a super cool run

[@dogmadestroyer87]

Lets GOOOOOOOOOO, BLACK 2 METAAAAAAAAAL. I've waited for so looong, so great

[@jonathandubois5015]

Awesome run, you should try Challenge mode more often. Also, idea Platinum Electric type only :)

[@loganreedy1691]

You don’t know how bad I needed a silph post today!!

[@thememedungeonkeeper]

I'd like to see you do an Emerald Kaizo run one day. I love your monolocke content, but I reckon it's time for some romhacks

[@jacobwolf581]

Hey Silph, I've askes this a few times on a couple of different videos, some early, some late, but I really wanna see you do a randomizes Nuzlocke of Pokémon Radical Red if at all possible, it would really make be a awesome watch and a challenging run

[@icetrae6399]

You should do a water only run of Pokemon W2/B2. I think you'd have challenge enough getting past Colress and Elesa seeing as there aren't any water/ground types available before them unless I'm mistaken. I think this would be a great challenge for you.

[@czorey6130]

Please do a video playing an old game again! It has been so long!! 1st gen game would be amazing or 2nd gen at the latest. Just finished watching your Crystal version again, so much fun 🩵

[@XyrnaTheTrainer]

I’VE BEEN WANTING THIS FOR SO LONG LET’S GO

[@i.m.g.infamousmusicgroup9575]

😐 you've been waiting.... For this specific video idea? Why your so excited... And why you have no life...I may never know .

[@XyrnaTheTrainer]

Why you have nothing better to do with your time than to troll me… I may never know.

[@Nejifangal1]

Always love your vids, Silph! Keep up the awesomeness! ^-^

[@liamgenkens511]

And our run has officially begun

[@genv.b521]

Silph: I'm starting to think of the possibility of a deathless run Conkeldurr of Marshal's Hammer Arm that landed a critical hit on a neutral Bronzong through Reflect: *nope!*

[@Darkrab22]

I absolutely adore your content dude. If i may suggest a nuzlocke, try the rom hack dark rising

[@brammclaughlin5718]

To be fair to Brycen, "what's become of him" is being a famous movie star, so I'm sure he's not too torn up about it

[@canadiancanucklehead8310]

To be fair to Brycen, I’m pretty he states in one of the games that he’s always wanted to act. Though fact check me on it I could be wrong.

[@Gnircks]

I hoped (as always) for a deathless run. Still very nice and entertaining vid. Ty Silph

[@twixthehyena]

This is my personal hll to die on: The Pokestar studios is a pretty fun sidething to do, but I agree that it would be more enjoyable if you weren't forced to do at least one run on it.

[@ThePokeTran]

A Thursday upload?? An unexpected but pleasant surprise

[@tiega6830]

It's Friday where I am

[@sixthestupidcat]

NEW SILPH VID LETS GOOOO

[@josephjoestar413]

Gotta love seein my boy in the thumbnail, magnezone is da best

[@drakky28293]

Omg for the first time I understood the naming convention! They’re steel companies! 😲

[@ashishrana3194]

I think you can get metang on the place where the plasma ship landed that would be soo good for a run like this 😅

[@Sondreign]

I can see one of the main Nucor plants from my apartment, that’s wild.

[@tyeness_5891]

Silph it would be cool to see a no evolution hardcore nuzlocke if that’s even possible but I wouldn’t be surprised if you did it successfully

[@Pixilm8]

what an interesting video, I might have to STEEL this concept ;)

[@njivwathomassilavwe2056]

So close to a deathless run but this was fantastic

[@FlickerWanderfoot-rm4em]

These games look amazing, I'm waiting on the remakes :)

[@brentzairoldvismanos7559]

Yeahh finally a new nuzlocke by Silph 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@LeonardoSouza-dv4yr]

Because of this video you, silph, are tied with antlerboy as my fav nuzlocker

[@tylergibson4709]

Huh, just got it in my head to try this run a couple days ago. Cool.

[@robstanley46]

Have you tried a bug run in B2W2? I did that and it was a really fun run. Just the right amount of difficulty for a HC monotype nuzlocke👍

[@radicalswampert7980]

Bro you tripped me out when you say level 11, it sounds like you're saying 11:11 which triggers my spiritual side ahah

[@tylerbartlett28]

Could you possibly do a run in gen 1 with all the bugs and glitches in those games, no items, and no natures. Could be fun

[@abelemekonnen54]

I love the magnezone line they are favorite pokemon along with scizor

[@Blaq-Man]

Love your content

[@SpiritedOtaku]

You should try doing a nuzlocke of either sacred gold or storm silver.

[@TheJoeyp52]

14:20 is so funny. A sickio for sure

[@lipika2841]

7:53 Y'know when I first saw some of the SV glitches on the internet I didnt believe that all of them were real & rather legit, I thought somebody seriously messed up while trying to mod the game, but in actuality, GF were the only ones to mess up.

[@jasonbleau4646]

I've actually done this run as a soft nuzlocke. It was fun.

[@Atlas92936]

Loved that Amanda Nuñes edit but I dont think many poke fans watch mma lol 😂

[@nandakishore5448]

Wait , couldnt you catch a metagross nearby the plasma frigate? Anyways you make great videos bud , keep up the good work my man

[@Bludgeoned2DEATH2]

Do a B2 challenge run of any type but each Pokémon has its most suboptimal Nature!

[@Magixis]

You know that other rocky helmet you can find on the relic passage? I always think that it's from a worker who died from a cave in

[@masteroogway9281]

Great video as always but why didn't you tried catching Metagross??

[@homebredpacman9715]

A nuzlocke with my favorite type? You sommine-beesh I'm in.

[@LFG_BladeZ]

Silph back again always Goated 🐐

[@PsclDragonBorn]

Please do a Blaze Black 2 redux Challenge Mode Nuzlocke. This is the ultimate test haha

[@TrashCanDolfie]

I think steel is probably my favourite type because I'm a really big fan of tough looking Pokemon like aggron and steelix

[@ianaustin595]

Platinum ground type run would be fun to see

[@RedDragonForce2]

I’m surprised you didn’t get Pawniard before the 7th Gym. Just saying, it would have saved you some headaches of traversing Ice Tiles.

[@EsotericDungeon]

I NEED THE TRUE POWER TOURNAMENT BACK PLEASE SAVED ME THROUGH (the sick years) NEED IT AGAIN NOW PLEASE. no rush to cost you anything I love you and appreciate everything you gift the world with.

[@SilphSpectre]

I appreciate you!! I've been working hard behind the scenes to get it running again bigger and better than ever - stay tuned, looking at a March release!

[@Buubje13]

Can you do a playthrough of Renegade Platinum? it's basically sinnoh but with mixed Gen pkmn and very difficult & many extra boss battles

[@PsclDragonBorn]

Great run even without Metagross xD

[@wallypr1261]

[@richarddill692]

How about Red or Blue with only Bug-Types? There would only be 6 encounters, but every bug can make use of at least one of the broken gen 1 mechanics.

u know what challenge would be like impossible,a nuzlock of only baby pokémon and pokémon who have no evolutions feel me,like just from first evolution stage and no evolutions
