Can I beat Pokemon Platinum in a Hardcore Nuzlocke with ONLY Bugs?

[@bandedcaterpie3867]

I take this personally

[@Whacko2]

that's fine and probably fair to be honest😩

[@robert_jake]

That will-o-wisp at spear pillar had me dying, I never knew your ally could attack you. Barry's a massive troll

[@Whacko2]

Bro he was trying to proc the Guts ability on Heracross, which was genius but obviously entirely useless once I switched out lmao

[@robert_jake]

Oh that makes sense, I thought the ai was tweaking

[@calebjohnson9740]

@@Whacko2 your first mistake was not pre-burning your Heracross

[@Drxxyt]

amazing video whacko. I loved the commentary and I really felt I was a watching a story/. keep up the great work

[@Whacko2]

I tried v hard!! Thank you friend!!

[@sal_n729]

you have THE best energy I swear 😭 honestly one of my favorite nuzlocke challenge videos & the editing was 10/10!

[@Whacko2]

I appreciate you!! Working with Drewster on these projects has been amazing!! I hope we get to make a BUNCH more content exactly like this one!!

[@SechsVerehrer3-qd9fu]

I am right now dealing with this Nuzlocke, too. The saddest part: No bug type learns Fly…

[@ItsFireTiger]

Technicality if you get silcoon in Eterna Forest you can use Beautifly...for some reason people don't count Dustox/Beautifly as dupes

[@Whacko2]

I totally get that. I personally do include them in dupes clause but its honestly an excuse to not have two crappy mons LOL

[@ItsFireTiger]

@@Whacko2 Don't they get Psybeam like Venomoth and Butterfree? That can help alongside flying moves against Gardenia and Maylene

[@Whacko2]

@@ItsFireTiger Oh they're definitely useful early game for gyms like Maylene and Gardenia. It's lategame stuff where their stat totals fall off that make them BRUTAL encounters

[@geekasaurusrexy]

I think as far as battle preference goes, Scyther/Scizor is my choice, but I will always have a soft spot for Ledyba and Combee simply because they're adorable ♥️

[@Whacko2]

Lowkey Ledyba is a HUGE sleeper pick! I've definitely had fun with that line in some of my runs!!

[@geekasaurusrexy]

Gotta say, going for that third Swords Dance was risky but the RNG gods were merciful (especially for Platinum)

[@shapedandshaded]

god i love bug typelockes. especially gen 4 bugs mean stupid much to me, i love particularly mothim and vespiquen an unreasonable amount, and heracross getting to be the goat of this run just makes me so happy. thanks so much whacko for an awesome video!

[@mondroman]

I think I go with Heracross as my Bug of choice. That's a tough little bug right there.

[@Whacko2]

heracross is ELITE

[@stealthhawkdude]

You could say those Hax BUGged you

[@Whacko2]

HERE for bad puns tbh D:

[@DoubleTripleJ]

Fantastic video man! I tune into the streams when I can, but time zones can make it difficult :/ Really enjoyed both the content of the video itself, and the style :) Great pacing and editing style-very much enjoyed it :) Keep it up man! :D

[@Whacko2]

Thank you!! DTJ its always a great time when you come out man! I'll be a little more consistent at the end of June and hopefully we can cross paths a little more!!

My favorite bugs are Illumise and Masquerain! Proud of Combee for facing Cyrus and doing his best 🥲 RIP young King

[@Whacko2]

Combee is a power champion and I won't let anyone ever say anything less.

[@crimsonflareumbreon1290]

Bug type challenges are really hard

[@Whacko2]

ALWAYS why'd they do our bugged friends so dirty

[@FortunAdlaich]

My favorite bug is Heracross

[@Whacko2]

Heracross is SO good!!

[@BeeSquared]

Absolutely beautiful. I've been watching these all day and I love what you do! Makes me feel like a kid again, thank you!!! =D

[@Mrdonjuliothewicked]

Been subbed for a bit but never saw this video before, liked of course, I love mono nuzlockes, to answer the question, Golisopod is my favorite bug. My favorite usually tend to how good they are for nuzlockes and Emergency Exit and First Impression create some very interesting strategies that you can’t get from a lot of other Pokémon. Kind of like the ultimate first turn priority move, and a (somewhat) free eject button for a clean switch. My second would be Butterfree as I’ve used it in the beginning of so many runs. Can’t go wrong with compound eyes status powders. And psychic and flying moves for the early game poison, bug, and grass types to name a few. There’s many good and underrated options though!

[@beandip5375]

great video whacko! i absolutely love spinarak, best little bug friend there be

[@Whacko2]

Spinarak is SUCH a good friend!! Hard agree!! A little Night Shade action and a little 4x Bug resist D:

[@VictorSantos-ku7qh]

Good stuff Pete ❤️❤️ The commentary and editing were on point !!!

[@Whacko2]

Thank ya Vicky

[@purkat6349]

My top 3 favorite bugs I think are: Golisopod, Masquerain, Forretress. I love bug types. So many are epic

[@Whacko2]

Golisopod with First Impression is super OP

[@YamiK0h]

W content my guy. And well formatted video :)

[@Whacko2]

THANKK YOU :)

[@mazharsiddiqi7288]

Nice video Must be tought having to rely on luck to get the right Wurmple evolution as well as right gender for Burmy and Combee but made it work Heracross is by far my favorite bug type so cool to see it shine here

[@Whacko2]

Wurmple stresses me out like crazy LOL

[@MousechrisTFM]

I don't think the cartridge insertion encounters should be ruled out, those seem legitimate.

[@musicstuff6310]

Except you need the national dex anyway, so these encounters were never valid anyway

[@Stevo2557]

Great job!
