No fossil to ask about, so have a Sudowoodo fact: in Pokemon X & Y you can only find Sudowoodo hiding among a Trevenant horde on Route 20. Zangoose and Seviper can also hide among each other in ORAS, and will even prioritize attacking the odd one out over you.

It's really nice to see Sudowoodo get some love! I've always been curious about how well it'd do as a main team member, particularly if it "wood" be able to sweep Lance's team or not with Rock Slide (I mean, Sudowoodo is pretty powerful, but it's really slow). I've got three suggestions for future playthroughs: Pokemon Silver with Mass Outbreak Pokemon and their evolutions only (it's okay if you cheat to trigger outbreaks or raise the Pokemon's encounter rate, since I mainly just want to see Pokemon like Granbull and Octillery in action in their debut game) Pokemon Sapphire/Emerald with Fluctuating Experience Curve Pokemon Only (eg: Seviper, Hariyama, Illumise) Pokemon Ruby with Erratic Experience Curve Pokemon Only (eg: Ninjask, Volbeat, Zangoose. It's okay if you cheat to get Feebas, due to how ridiculous it is to find. If you want to cheat to get Huntail or Gorebyss too, I'd actually encourage that, since those two are so underused/underrated)

Mahdrybread YOU ARE A LEGEND. I am currently doing a nuzlocke of pokemon crystal and I caught a drowzee I named MDB because it's your favorite Pokemon and MDB the drowzee saved my run! I challenged Morty and led with my croconaw that had bite, it took out the ghastly and the first haunter. Morty then sent out gengar which I wasn't prepared for. My croconaw got put to sleep by gengar, so then I switched to growlithe because he had bite too but growlithe got out sped and put to sleep and hit by dream eater to land on only 26 health. I switched to Onix the Graveler and he got out sped and put to sleep, I thought this was the end when I remembered Drowzee had hypnosis, it was my only hope so I switched to drowzee, Gangar missed DreamEater and Drowzee out sped Gengar and put it to sleep, saving the run. drowzee disabled hypnosis and gengar stayed asleep and MDB was able to take it out. MDB the Drowzee is the MVP of my nuzlocke run! I love your channel by the way.

I always pick up the Sudowodoo in my G/S/C or HeartGold runs.

I've had this challenge idea for a while, but your strategy here is the perfect opportunity to bring it up: Pokémon Red/Blue with only Level-Up Moves. Use any team you want, but no TMs allowed, in the one set of games with the definitively worst average quality level-up movesets. And for a bonus challenge, if desired: don't do any research on who learns what before (or maybe even during) the challenge, current knowledge/recollection only.

Three Run ideas: A Vulpix only run in gen 4 Platinum. Should be possible, even though Berta will most likely brutal! Otherwise Fire is decently strong in gen 4. Being strong against 3 Gym leaders, neutral towards 3 and in disatvantage against the rock and water gym. 3 out of the four Elite 4 should be ok, Cynthia and Berta will be torture. Maybe! An Eevelution run - all allowed, full Team. Gen 4 Platinum should be best for it! For some easy run, should be fun though. Additional rule if you want a more challenging one: limit the numbers or only the kanto Eevelutions! Can you beat Pokemon Crystal as Elite 4 Bruno? I have the feeling this should be easy most of the run. But let's be real: most of the time you sweep him, he should get the chance to proof he is worthy of being an Elite 4!

It’s still SE on Rock and Sudowoodo can’t hit it for weakness without the special punches, but with the advantage of a better physically defensive profile thanks to its stats and Reflect. It also resists Dig/Earthquake, your overall best coverage move.

I have an idea for a fun challenge, One that means you could even use Drowzee. Can you beat Pokemon Black (Or any game from gen's 5 ,6 or 7) with only the move Assist? Purrloin learns Assist at level 6 so it'd be the starter, Then if you get a male Purrloin you can breed it with other's to get more Pokemon. I think this would be a great wacky challenge since the more Pokemon on your team the more random the move is. For any that don't know Assist uses a random move known by any of the user's party Pokémon, With some exceptions. So even Pokemon that can't use Assist would still be useful if they have good moves that Assist can use. Drowzee is in the Human-Like Egg Group so If you want one with Assist you'd need a Spinda since they're in the Field and Human-Like Egg Groups so can breed with Purrloin and Drowzee. You could also use a Chimchar as a starter if you give it Assist as an Egg Move, They're also in the Field and Human-Like Egg Groups so a male one can breed the move into any Pokemon with Assist.
