CAN I BEAT A POKÉMON Y HARDCORE NUZLOCKE WITH ONLY FAIRY TYPES!? (Pokémon Challenge)

It's not often you see fairy challenges. Heck, you don't often see x and y challenges. Can't wait to see what happens

[@samdilophosaur9787]

He wins instantly, because x and y are baby easy. I’m pretty sure that every gym leader has only like 3 pokemon max and none of them have 4 moves on their pokemon

[@carlapromutico8564]

[@samdilophosaur9787]

@@carlapromutico8564 bruh I’m not one to enjoy extreme challenges, but x and y are just too easy. You can’t tell me that the gameplay is more enjoyable when they basically hand you every win. I never felt like I was doing good because I just clicked buttons and deleted the pokemon across from me

[@DeuxisWasTaken]

7:25 Azumarill is such a good pokemon. It has nice typing, great abilities, useful attacks, decent stats, and it's easy to train and evolves early. When I played Emerald as a teen I often just caught a random Marill before Petalburg Forest, which would then wreck not only the first gym, but the entire Magma Hideout later in the game too, as you can go in with a lvl 18 azumarill and exit with a lvl 30+ azumarill, as it easily wrecks all wild encounters and most trainers. It's one of these Pokemon that are just nice in every way.

[@timhiltz6323]

Neutral to steel, water resist it.

[@ejokurirulezz]

emerald is crap, who tf has a champion in a format of a gym leader? pathetic.

[@userunknown3761]

@@timhiltz6323 The only mon that is water steal is empoleon which isn’t in this game as far as I know. If you run nelly drum 3 attacks being water fairy ice then the only resists are water poison types and empoleon, if you run choice band 4 attacks and add fighting it’s just water poisons. Being unable to hit only one or 2 specific typings is incredibly impressive

[@stanleypressley2197]

I agree! I love how it can tank attacks. I didn't realize how poor her attack stat was so she benefits immensely from a Naught nature/Huge Power ability.

To those who don't get the ear biting reference at 3:42, in 1997 in a fight referred to now as "The Bite Fight" Mike Tyson fought against Evander Holyfield for the title of WBA Heavyweight Champion, during the fight, Mike Tyson at one point bit Holyfield's ear taking a chunk out, which ended up with him getting a disqualification and a suspension from boxing

Thanks I had no clue what that was about.

[@XbrokenXXemoXXgirlX]

I ALWAYS played attack heavy, never having special moves and never really using too many held items to boost my specials but after watching a ton of your Nuzlockes, I realize I wasted so much potential in all of my plays 😭 also, I didn’t realize I got here in the first half hour!! Great video Silph!!!

[@nickinchi]

i’m the exact opposite, I love my special attackers and my team build is usually 5 special attackers and 1 physical attacker to cover any of the weakness’ my team has. but for BDSP I tried doing 3 special and 3 physical and I didn’t realize how good physical attacks can be!

Gallade is male only though… Silph’s Ralts ended up being female eliminating Gallade from consideration.

[@zacharyowenmartin8247]

Fairy type seems pretty stacked for a monotype nuzlocke. I feel like this would be an easier run than your others.

[@rajkanishu]

excluding Gen 8 which is basically free with every type, Fairy in X/Y is definitely one of the easiest ones if not the easiest given how many ancounters you get, how good they are and how many coverage moves they get, how easy the games are in general and how broken the type is and also you face very few Steel and Poison mons/moves during the main story

[@vyseros]

Diamond / Pearl Fire types only lol

[@g0ldenrayz]

@@rajkanishu I feel like the hardest type to clear Gen 8 with is rock types, if you're playing Sword that is. Maybe grass types in Shield? I've found some monotype challenges kinda challenging in Gen 8 for some reason

[@rajkanishu]

@@g0ldenrayz it's still 10 times easier than anything in any other game tho, there's simply too many encounters

[@Shakalyr]

@@rajkanishu the number of encounter doesn't make the game easier, I think it's all about coverage... I've been doing my first hardcore monotype nuzlocke on X and the fire type has something like 16 encounters but a low coverage when you get to fight really effective types against fire types

Congrats on finally getting your 1st deathless monotype run! Been silently rooting for you ever since I found this channel many, many months ago!

[@khianidude]

Before finishing the video, this Nuzlocke was actually GG the moment you got a Huge Power Azumarill with +Attack Nature. You could Super Train it for maxed out Attack EVs and it would actually one shot every Pokemon it had coverage on in the game. Huge Power is a straight up 2x multiplier on your Final Attack stat. Meaning Natures and EVs get 2x value from it.

[@IggyAshali]

I've watched pretty much all of your challenges and the reason why I think yours are better than the other YTers is because you impose the most challenging set of restrictions (ie. no using a pokemon until it's evolved into the typelocke, choosing the most challenging starter, etc)

[@fitzsimonogbo5391]

Awesome run SilphSpectre. This deathless run was amazing to watch. Keep at it. Your Nuzlocke challenge videos are awesome to watch. Looking forward to seeing your next Nuzlocke challenge video
