[@SmartStormgaming]

Can u please do Pokémon black with only white Pokémon

[@yanfagundes3006]

What about Fairy types in Pokémon Brilliant diamond?

[@legend6253]

Can you play Pokémon X on ninetendo oled

[@patrickzalatoris3206]

Don't you just love the bug/steel wormadam, it's proven itself to be a real MVP in these kinds of runs

[@kimarebjrnerud1795]

😮😮😮😮 43:38 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

[@skiblizzyy]

Silph could you please do a final segment where you decide which Pokémon was the MVP of the run? I think it would be really cool to hear your opinions and who you thought really carried the team the most, most of all i love your videos! they’ve gotten me to start nuzlocking myself, and truly making play throughs amazing for me again 🙏🏻 (you wanted me to remind you 😂😂)

[@Thegamergabe4.0]

Yes!! Return of the MVP picks!

[@pilkkimies]

Awesome

[@adriancovelo]

Agreed!!!!

[@CrashinAsh]

An overview would be awesome I would enjoy an MVP, LVP(least valuable Pokemon), and maybe an award for best support mon, an award show would be kinda fun

[@trevp5125]

I don't know that means, as I'm new, but you can tell for yourself.....

[@justsomeguywithadjset353]

I love it when silph describes the entire attack like "S.T.A.B super effective, black belt boosted, 120 power close combat!"

[@AsapRockyOG]

It’s like an announcer adding extra flare haha

[@brixnoobix]

If merchandise happens, I want shirts with attacks like this

[@crims0ngrin]

UNREAL

[@fransgreidanus5678]

I wanted to write the same thing

[@griz507x]

Still can't get over the waiter giving you the protect tm right after shauna says that, seems a little TOO intentional😭😭

[@curiousdave]

Yeah, Game Freak can be pretty cheeky like that. I think it's in Soul Silver you can battle a very lovey-dovey couple that have an Onix and a Cloyster in their team... Coincidence?

[@ItsFireTiger]

@@curiousdave When the randomizer says Bro and Sis 😳

[@gamegirllisa404]

Fun fact, there was a tournament with all of the gym leaders, rivals, main antagonists, and champions. There was something over 1000 trainers in it and Viola made it towards the top 8 and Roxanne got second to Cynthia who beat Steven Stone to 3rd. So yeah, it’s surprising but bug types have started to really start to get good.

[@ghetis396]

6:55 I personally make an addendum to my runs that if I get a Pokemon that only evolves as a certain gender (Combee, Salazzle, etc), I can reroll it until I get one that's able to evolve. Getting an encounter that's only good 1/8 of the time just isn't fun

[@auburnkeyblade2491]

And that's ultimately what it boils down to: Fun. I think I might follow suit with this in future runs, personally

[@maumee22]

You could've got a Durant on the route you mentioned the shuckle on and then tried for shuckle or ariados in both Terminus Cave and Victory Road; essentially guaranteeing an extra encounter.

[@acriolu]

Yes!!!! Sundays with Silph's Nuzlockes are the best!! makes working on Sunday a walk in the park 😊

[@CreepyBlackDude]

Benji the Beedrill with the absolute movie-worthy victory! Been waiting this whole damn run for his time to shine after having been the first Pokemon you evolved and taking a backseat to everyone else, then clutches out wins on the final two trainers for the successful run. What a legend!

[@emilysmith2965]

Silph in the Malva fight: Phew, no crit! George with Shell Armor: Am I a joke to you

[@jcohler7144]

I really appreciate that you show the Pokemon's nature. It's important in Nuzlockes. Great content, Silph.

[@Thewindyfan]

Bro the random bits of comedy are so gold, it’s the little things that make watching these runs enjoyable lmao

[@Dennisamzocken]

You mean comedy like repeating the same p*rnhub intro joke over and over again?

[@gemindigo2430]

Is no one going to mention how unbelievable that transition from the cornhub intro to the gym was

[@wustenfuchsgaming1226]

Not his first Homage ^^, lets hope not the last.

[@nickybecnel5047]

Man George and Vicrtoria were absolutely required for this run to have been possible. Crustle and Heracross for the win!

[@PlasticBluVentRabbit]

I did a Buglocke of Y a few months ago Ya got no idea how happy this vid made me 🤩

[@williambrown5934]

42:40 I feel like *Beedrill was the VIP* in this run, personally. After watching it all.

[@Warwing12]

Always love seeing a Crustle put in work!

[@ugochukwunyere3196]

9:44 when I think of milotic, I think of Wallace a lot more than Cynthia

[@ParasaurolophusZ]

Nice run! It sometimes feels like Bug didn't come into its own as a type until Gen 7 (but is still pretty weak) so anything before then is an even bigger accomplishment.

[@Registeel13Ty]

Yeah, by Gen 9, you can definitely make an all-bug team pretty scary.

[@scrunglee]

Bug became cracked in like gen 5. Crustle, Scolipede, Volcarona, Accelgor, Excavlier, Leavanny..

[@zephyrurchin4763]

15:44 For those of you who don't know, Fairy resists Bug. 20:05 Those are scissors.

[@davidshowalter120]

Calling Skorupi 'Asshole' was such a nice touch. Hahaha. Love your content, Silph! This is such a wonderful run!

[@flamesaur8896]

Sliph the answer is what ever the hex maniacs are on. 😅(26:28)

[@teamfmreborn7045]

2:05 chespin is actually a good Pokemon it's not useable in this run but Chesnaught is an insanely good Pokemon

[@chrisjoseph3883]

From since Gen 1 there’s been a bug type with effectively 500 base stat total Gen 1 scyther and pinsir gen 2 heracross and Scizor Gen 3 ninjask (only 456 I think but very good in competitive with baton pass, speed boost, substitute and swords dance) Gen 4 yanmega, Gen 5 exploded with bugs with genesect and volcarona and other strong bugs like crustle with shell smash and scolipede with speed boost….

[@georgewells8585]

Love the bug type, it is very underrated Also rewatching this: the Pokémon are nearly named after my family. George, Mary my sister, Victoria my mum. Just needed Jonathan and Katie 😂

[@skibot9974]

Please do a monolocke in Pokémon XD it being all double battles would open so many opportunities If you’re wondering the viable types for this run are (from easiest to hardest): Normal Water Psychic Ground Fire Dark Electric Bug

[@LAZERAK47V2]

Missed opportunity to nickname yourself "Bug daddy"

[@Roguerebel297]

The stuck guy got me, was not expecting that one XD

[@hetaliarose123]

Ahh… a new silph video, under a warm blanket, eating Mac and cheese, with a glass of chocolate milk while a fire crackles nearby. Bliss.

[@jasiahtaylor8589]

definitely wouldn't have been able to pull this off with bug types, myself. Thoroughly impressed.

[@cs_pheasant9077]

The exp. Share joke got me good 😂

[@sylokthedefiled7650]

I think introducing an "evo clause" could be a good idea. "If an encounter cannot evolve, you may reroll until you get a version of it that can" Basically. If you get a combee as an encounter, and it's male, you can reroll until you get a female combee. I see a lot of big runs but almost none of them use vespiqueen so I think it would be neat to see some less used Pokemon be used.

[@StarSpark3071]

Benjamin won those final battles for his counterpart friend Molly, to win this run for her, making sure she didn’t die in vain.

[@tjepic5256]

I love seeing sizor in battle. I hope you use it again soon

[@salomonlopez2739]

25:34 Calcium comes from bones, moving a bunch of snow in the mountains, Silph you dug up a body

[@thegrayrenegade]

😂 the fist of the north star corphish clip had me dead

[@biancaarmstrong5097]

My favorite bug type Pokemon are Shuckle, Snom, Frostmoth and Joltick. I would love to have a Snom plushie someday.

[@myflyoutdooradventures8414]

This is my favorite Nuzlocke I have ever seen! Way to go Silph! And with my favorite type too!!! Go Catherine!!

[@Asp3n_or_something]

I've done this exact run before! except no nuzlocke rules, just a normal run, but still Bug and in Y specifically!

[@oyasumidelete]

Your nature luck is so funny 😂,timid heracross omg

[@shrisai8963]

i actually tried this nuzlocke before using bug types, but sadly i failed completing it. good work on the video silph. 👍👍👍👍

[@keeganmccann77]

I feel like beedrill and its poison type were grossly underutilized in that fairy gym!

[@historgames6118]

have you tried doing a Hardcore Nuzlocke with Poison types in Pokemon X and Y, It will be a challenge for you especially for the first gym

[@kkrstudios]

Not naming durant Kevin is such missed opportunity

[@mariodiaz262000]

YESSSSSS THE KING WITH BACK TO BACK WEEKLY UPLOADS 🔥🔥🔥🥹

[@jeffreyprice9790]

This has gotta be my 1000th time requesting that you BRING BACK THE TRUE POWER TOURNEY!!!

[@whittobenchain7867]

Love your videos Silph! Question: are you ever going to do True Power videos again? And are you going to do the gym leader/elite 4 tournaments again? Those are what introduced me to your channel! Even still, love the channel.

[@chrisjoseph3883]

Bug Pokémon were originally meant to help trainers out in the early game since they evolve so quickly…. You get a fully evolved Pokémon at level 10 but they give them middle evolution base stats… the movepools are also real life bug interactions like the powder moves to cause status….

[@williamfitch1546]

As an entomologist whose name is William, I appreciate the Durant shout out. This video really showed some really cool bugs. Thanks for that!

[@princeoji3944]

A beedril helped me beat fire red once, good to see someone else getting help from the great hornet

[@pieoverlord]

Feel like every bugs only challenge is mostly just a Heracross carry.

[@Scout819]

"Up ahead in the Pokeball factory, we can pick up an item that is going to be of pivotal importance later on.... A Pokeball"

[@RDPendleton]

Ever since the Johto True Power tournament, I no longer underestimate bug types.

[@Celticfrost70]

Love how great these titles look in comparison to the switch titles

[@VaellinTheBard]

Bug run! With a possible nincada! I did a monotype run if this game and it was HARD. Especially since i got the wrong version so I didnt have Heracross

[@cameronmackay9666]

The edits in this were top tier 😂

[@peterrealar2.067]

The fact Butterfree didn't learn Gust until Level 16 was the biggest dang inconvenience this run had.

[@mangosteak]

The starter pack: unreal WICKED brutal and theorycrafting

[@Grymlock]

Love the vids im glad bugs getting love from somone bug types are my favorite thank you!!

[@EOwens-uq4zd]

Sir, that joke about your "biggest fan" warrants a 10-minute sentence in pun jail.

[@ZeroHero3d]

For real, Scarlet and Violet missed out on giving us our first ever Bug-type starter.

[@Kamegama]

Props to you for getting this out while sick. Also did you ban Shell Smash for this run?

[@JaydenDimaio]

Bug types are slept on, eviolite technician Scyther is a killer.

[@MalcolmBeane]

i never noticed that silphs got an amulet coin on his design

[@Random15738]

Ngl I thought beedrill was gonna go belly up 15 minutes into the video… what a nice surprise

[@GamerGrovyle]

23:35 Actually the currency in Pokemon is based on the yen which as of writing this is 134 yen per 1 US Dollar. So that 16,000 price tag is a lot more reasonable at about 121$

[@soulslicr5743]

Can you do a HGSS grass monolocke? You can pay tribute to your only gen 2 run and I feel it wouldn't be as hard as the crystal run you did

[@ItzZeeOfficial]

Dang that Skorupi was so unfortunate. I wanted to see Escavalier and Accelgor do work.

[@mazharsiddiqi7288]

Awesome video Trash Wormadam is underrated of the the Steel/Bug Pokémon Sucks that Ninjask died but made video more unpredictable without the expected Baton Pass strat

[@dodagamer2560]

I got an ad at the worst time when silph said “we found the protect tm for our new encounter, a ni-“ ad plays

[@scribbledcheddar245]

Nice one Siplh, any plans to do a Sinnoh True Power tournament like you did for Kanto & Hoenn?

[@765craven4]

George fhe Crustle was super clutch several times. The MVP

[@myanwass4306]

Pls bring back the nostalgic true power tournament😭😭. I miss it so much

[@samuelcastillo5246]

Well, bugs among ice types, they have almost no coverage, but that doesn't mean both types doesn't have awesome designs and very useful pokemon, it's they could be way better if they had another typings

[@TheRoughGo]

I really miss the ds/3ds pokemon games, they really don't know what they are doing on the switch lol

[@FrozenPyro06]

Silph was really pushing the KZbin age restrictions in this vid, holy

[@shinigamimiroku3723]

... Man, I've seen bad natures on HN runs, but this run definitely takes the cake. RIP...

[@R__TT]

It make so much sense when you struggling like that in gym battle, make you feel you actually fighting someone strong Shame that we os them usually

[@R__TT]

And it’s so much better when you fight gym battle with the same amount of Pokémon that the gym leader each time

[@Angelkitty2]

New Silph video is the best birthday present!

[@aidencornelius7273]

I wish people would do nuzlockes on alpha sapphire and omega ruby more! I love those games so much

[@pokefan2126]

Do Pokémon fire red with only ghost types make you scared only having 1 option

[@briandinh9169]

At that point it's just a solo run lol

[@thedukeofdorks6001]

Yeeeessssss!!! Beedrill with the clutch win!

[@popculturepicker]

X & Y super underrated

[@fyreleo9487]

Yo silph there are a lot of nuzlockers out there but you are by far the best! Keep it up

[@Fostered1]

"IF I HAD ONE!!" 🤣😂😂😂

[@Fostered1]

The "NANI?!" edit was so clean

[@Fostered1]

So no head? These edits are so clutch

[@Fostered1]

"so I lost then? "Yes tf you did. 😤" Lol

[@Fostered1]

Just realized music was playing when you started using Shedinja. Bops! "OOOHHH, BROTHER - THIS GUY STINKS!!!"

[@Fostered1]

Forgot Benjamin existed lol... SCIZZOR!!!!!

[@h.telv7716]

Poor beedrill got ignored but still rise up to expectation

[@All-Fur-Coat_No-Trousers]

I *_JUST_* realized. Viola is a _shutterbug..._ *A SHUTTERBUG, CORAL!*

[@malachai1381]

Have you considered doing nuzlocks of romhacks like Sacred Gold/Storm Silver or Renegade Platinum? Would be cool to see!

[@backpackerraden6268]

29:08 whatever it is, it allows both players to shuffle almost all cards into their decks

[@roggie839]

That Pikachu in the forest is a pain

[@wheatthins4565]

Hard cut to explosion is just comedy gold, it is evergreen

[@gengarcrobat1576]

The trainer that took out Ninjask can actually be skipped by riding past the trainer on a Skiddo

[@murarmight]

It isn’t a happy sunday without a Silph update ! Thanks for the video !!

[@ThatSonOfAGlitch]

Of course my favorite Pokémon Big Bad Beedrill was the clutch hitter

[@Dragonmaster0118]

I will hug him and pet him and squeeze him and call him George!

[@nicholasemerick1798]

Let's gooooooo, I love pokemon Y, it's one of my favorite of the series

[@PhantomBunny888]

you know male combee is garbage when you're grateful to run into a ledyba instead

[@sweethistortea]

Would Pokémon Omega Ruby with only Meowstic or mono-psychic work? Meowstic is my favourite Psychic Pokémon (I caught a female on in Pokémon Y back in the day), and they can be quite strong.

[@claytonsteed6767]

A hardcore nuzlocke like this with only meowstic? Definitely not. Doing it with only one pokemon regardless would be impossible if you had to stay under the level of the gym leaders ace. Not to mention meowstics stats specifically are pretty bad.

[@loganquasar5124]

Butterfree, the most amazing butterfly pokémon. Oh no.

[@TheBigPenguu]

Honestly surprised you were able to take that run after losing Scizor.
