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

Pokemon X and Y brought a brand new type into the mix... but can the Fairy type prove itself in the ultimate challenge!? Let's find out!
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 Y Hardcore Nuzlocke with only Fairy 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.

[@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

[@skibot9974]

20:30 only weakness is rock and ice which we don’t have Carbink: am I a joke to you

[@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.

[@RaevenRenard]

Also a pokemon that changes gender

[@mississippiking1366]

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

[@sb6196]

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!!!

[@goldberserk7425]

I always have 3 special attackers 2 physical attackers and one who is a tank always using the best items for them and perfect evs and natures

[@CrazyNaturekitty]

I feel that. Since I was a kid, I've only used attacking moves and sometimes status moves. Never set up. I'm trying to get better at it but it's a bad habit 😅

[@Chronal-Rend]

@@goldberserk7425 which is physical

[@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!

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

[@mikefreaknwalsh]

sad to see the ralts having brave nature if it was a fighting run, brave would be aight for gallade

[@whodeygamer2114]

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

[@thomassweeting7978]

love the content silph. keep it up!

[@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)

[@leonardooberdadealmeidamon2305]

Jumpluff is also one of my favorite not only in appearance but in battle too!

[@spike_-ry1se]

Always happy when silph uploads

[@NastusMcGastus]

Sweet. I’ve been waiting for a new one of these videos. I binge these at work lol

[@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.

[@cesarflamenco9484]

That covers all the types. Now we just need Silph to do run in every region, and the only one left is the Alola Region. Let's hope it happens soon.
