Can You Beat Pokémon Pearl Using ONLY FIRE TYPES? (Hardcore Nuzlocke)

[@MrMagz924]

For future reference, Golbat's only ability in gen 4 is Inner Focus, so trying to flinch it during the Jupiter/Mars fight was never going to work.

[@-BenGaming-]

Ok

[@AnemoneEnemy]

NICE! You avenged FlygonHG and completed probably one of the hardest natural HC nuzlockes there is. What a great run.

[@evie2670]

I were thinking Exactly the same thing, great work Antlerboy you sure are a king

[@PK_Yoshi]

The only one I can think of that would be harder is dp dragon because all you have is garchomp but he has done platinum ground which has 1 more Pokémon so I doubt he will do it for a really long time but 2nd hardest nuzlocke ever is still insanely impressive better than I could ever do

[@richdude297]

Here's something that not a lot of people seem to know about diamond and pearl: every single trainer in the entire game has wild pokemon ai. Even the champion. What this means is that every single move the ai makes is random, even when they have a super effective move that can kill.

[@samuelcastillo5246]

I remember when I knew that the first time, I thought I was crazy XD

[@malteeriksson2883]

Why is that 😅

[@richdude297]

@@malteeriksson2883 who knows?

[@tabbender1232]

I see this mentioned but never proof of it. It’s pretty obvious that the trainers avoid moves you’re immune to at the very least. I agree that the AI was improved in Platinum and didn’t always do the best decisions in DP though, so there may be something actually going on, but the whole random thing seems like a legend to me.

[@Warwing12]

This is the second time I've seen this run done, and therefore the second time I've seen someone prove just how good Infernape is in Sinnoh

[@PedroHenrique-mk5zi]

Similarly, the only Electric-types in Diamond Pearl are Luxray, Pikachu and Pachirisu. Also, Weavile and Abomasnow are the only Ice-type. The Dex for Diamond and Pearl is terrible and thank god Platinum expanded it.

[@IdentifiantE.S]

The Pokédex is terrible but the news Pokémon are insane ! 🔥

[@CoffeeFlavoredMilk]

IIRC I don't even think Electric or Ice are truly possible without extreme luck. Does Shinx even get Bite by Roark's level cap?

[@unkindled6410]

@@CoffeeFlavoredMilk nope. it can use the hidden power TM on DP though as you get it before the first gym, you just pray that its either grass or water. in platinum, you get quite a few more electric encounters but you dont get hidden power TM, meaning your best shots gambling with non stab return which against physically bulky mons that resist normal... yeah pretty impossible.

[@dillonphipps582]

@@unkindled6410, for DP specifically, it learns Bite at 13 and Spark at 17, so the opposite of Platinum. Maybe the run is possible because of that?

[@christianvettraino775]

That Garchomp and Milotic shenanigannery was insane

[@rinus915]

I think the diamond and pearl AI is random, thats why garchomp for example didn't go for the best possible move every time. The same goes for floatzel in the wake fight, Cynthia's milotic, the commanders golbat etc

[@shironeko1843]

Rapidash and Garchomp missing all the moves, that was very stressing

[@knight393]

can I just say at 6:53 is the reason I say poketubers never get punished during the nuzlocke like wow that was lucky as hell

[@fusionrifleenjoyer2279]

I remember hearing that these games legit have random AI. It makes it much harder to plan but also allows room to get lucky. Either way this was an insane run, good shit.

[@MarcusXD100]

The random AI was the turning point on cynthia Getting a setupless run against her sounds imposible And would be if on bdsp or platinum But the random AI saved him That milotic was such a glorious rng bless scenario

"Chimchar looks like it's constantly lighting a fart on fire" fun fact: the flame is fueled by the gases in its stomach, so it quite literally is farting fire...

[@stefannita3439]

So many of those super-effective Electric type Hidden Powers/Natural Gifts vs Flying types actually have less base power than STAB unresisted Flamethrower. The only exception is if you somehow managed to get a Hidden Power with a base power of at least 68, but super-effective Leppa Berry Natural Gift is always weaker than STAB unresisted Flamethrower

[@quiettitanoboa5096]

This isn't a type challenge, but have you ever considered, say, an N-locke? I don't know if such a challenge already exists, or if that's the name of it if it does, but the challenge would be a regular nuzlocke with the twist of building your team the way N does in BW; for each gym, you only use the available pokemon from the local routes. So if you're fighting the first gym, you use all accessible encounters up to the point, and then box them once the gym is defeated. Move onto the next gym, and only use available encounters from the routes near the gym, and so on, like how N will build a team of local pokemon for a battle, then build a new team for the next one. Maybe the "one encounter per route" rule could be eschewed to show off more pokemon species, or maybe it'd be an additional level of difficulty to limit encounters. I have no idea how well this challenge could work, but maybe it could be a fun new take on Nuzlockes!

[@MasterNcognito]

You proved that it can be done! Much respect and congratulations!

[@sabarathore5174]

1. I don't know why there's barely any fire types in this game. 2. I have the biggest respect for you because a hardcore nuzlock where if something faints it's dead and there's only 2 pokemon is sooo hard I imagine, if something faints it's a solo run.

[@colebailey2578]

I've got a recommendation for you: why not go for a 'statlock' instead of a 'typelock'? You know, spin a wheel to see what kind of pokemon you're allowed to catch based on its stat. I just started a pokemon X nuzlock useing this and got defense. So now for my first three encounters I have to specifically nab chespin, bunnelby on route 2, and fletchling in santalune forest (note, when I got defense, I look at the highest defense from the final evolution of each mon from the BST, and while fletchling is on route one, it has the highest defense of everything else in that area.)
