Can You Beat Pokemon Scarlet Using ONLY NEW DARK TYPES? (Hardcore Nuzlocke)

Can I beat Pokemon Scarlet and Violet using EXCLUSIVELY BRAND NEW Dark type Pokemon? I LOVED doing this run, and I became so attached to the whole team. The clutches in this video are crazy.. I should've lost the run more than once.. I GOT SUCH GOOD RNG.
Generation 9 introduced a bunch of new really incredible Pokemon and I plan to do this with every type.. Let me know which type you want me to try next :)
If you enjoyed this video, do me a favour and hit the subscribe button!
Will I be able to conquer Paldea using ONLY the NEW dark types?
THIS VIDEOS RULES:
1. NEW dark types ONLY (or pokemon that evolve into new dark types ie: Pawniard - Kingambit)
2. No overlevelling
3. Set mode (no switching between trainers pokemon)
4. No items in battle
5. Nickname every pokemon.

Floragato evolved differently from Lokix because of where you were. if you're inside/at the end of a major fight like the gyms or Team Star (but not Titans, since you're always outside for those), the evolution screen will not be in the overworld

[@Gentledude.]

the more you know, very cool

[@intenseintensity7072]

Ah yes

[@birbisderb]

It also happens in tight areas, like some sort of thin cave or sum

[@Decidueye1822]

For some reason, this also applies to Area Zero

[@tiltalot3759]

Also works on stairs or very tilted surfaces

Man, you called it.

You were right.

[@j.corbygaming]

In my nuzlocke we lost lots of mons to Giacomo, and we had nothing for Iono and Mela. Thats when we found a shiny Stamina Mudbray. His name is Mason and he saved us against Mela and Iono. Love this donkey. Keep up the excellent work!

[@batboii96]

I love his energy! His edits and just him in general! I can’t stop watching his videos lol. His accent is just amazing too

[@ashhaggerty2245]

Dude, this is your first video??? Epic. Can't wait to see what else you come up with! You've definitely got the personality and skills to be a big name poketuber.

[@grundgutigertv6170]

3:30 you know whats even more sad than this situation? The knowledge that you couldve ACTUALLY caught it. Use and hold the left shoulder button, move the camera with the control stick and eventually, you will be able to focus the Pokemon. No need to swim, you can just throw the ball and start the fight. I did that with a tadbulb not too long ago

[@hibikimoons]

Im so happy I came across this channel. Your content is just so entertaining

[@stereo1001]

Wow, your channel is like the gift that keeps on giving, both of your videos so far are absolutely amazing and very entertaining! Keep up the great work!

[@JustJamieonYT]

Big things coming dude !🔥 I wish murkrow got a pardox form or something so you could use it haha!

[@Gentledude.]

literally… you have no idea how close i was to just saying f it, it’s so unfortunate that it happened during a dark type mono run too 😳

[@drywalltele9435]

really loving these videos! will continue to watch :)

[@Gentledude.]

EY, thank you so much 😄

[@k2basior]

Maybe Fighting type only next? You have Quaquaval, Pawmot, Flamigo, Combat and Blaze Breed Tauros and Great Tusk:-) One with ghost also could work with Scolidurge, Gholdengo, Blameghast, Houndstone and Annihilape. If you the last one in Violet you could add Ceruledge as well:-) Water also would be fun with Quaquaval, Aqua Breed Tauros, Dondozo, Palafin, Tatsugiri, Veluza and Wugtrio to choose from:-)

[@Gentledude.]

it’s crazy you say this, im filming a fighting type video as we speak.. but it’s not quite what you expect it to be!!

Definitely getting a sub my guy. Can't wait to see what you release from here!

[@korvet8482]

My first gen 9 shiny was also a psyduck. I started a game on my alternate profile. You know when Nemona leaves you on the lighthouse and you have to run towards los platos? There's always a duck standing next to the bridge across the stream there. That duck was shiny, nearly gave me a heart attack lol. I named him Sir Blu and hoped the rest of my run was that lucky. It wasn't lol.

Cool video. Also my first gen 9 shiny was a full odds Floatzel

[@RetiredMr.ShinyEnthusiast]

The start of an amazing content creator

[@thisistheescapeplan]

The one and only shiny pokemon I have caught... came after playing and finishing violet and playing it for a total of 150 hours... And then playing through half of scarlet at 22 hours I caught a shiny deerling. That is the ONLY full odds shiny I've found so far. Need to add that 98% of my gameplay has been done handheld and not docked, so the screen is kinda small and a lot is easy to miss

[@RubenPlaysYT123]

Gotta Love Gentledude Thinks fuecoco was a dinasaur or something

[@Raiynachan]

My first gen 9 shiny was a Dunsparce! I ran into it within just a few hours of playing, around where the riolu and scyther spawn. So hype since it has an evo now (sadly, it wasnt a 3 segment lol)

[@posslord1221]

First Gen 9 full odds shiny was a rock ruff.

[@pengalinpenguin1900]

my first shiny was mareep . . . good video

Subscribing cause of your awesome accent, I do love the content too though

[@Gentledude.]

legend! thank you :))

[@Shay96]

I think Evolutions and Egg screens work by the same logic as Picnics (aside from being able to hatch/evolve in towns). By which I mean you don’t get the over-world animation unless you’re on level ground. Even a slight incline stops it.

[@Blueninjawilliam]

The reason for the strange evolution is because if your near a cliff or in a building it can’t make them stand there to avoid bugs

[@gravajaumbros]

My first shiny this gen was Bramblin! Also, against Iono you mention Nebula eating a berry (which we see) and then say that they get tera stab miracle seed boosted seed bomb, but I suspect it wasn't actually miracle seed boosted since Nebula had a berry, unless there's some strat I'm missing.

[@krackmitej221]

THIS DUDE IS SO GENTLY

[@TristanPinder]

Do any nuzlockers not fully realize that the 3rd phase of the 5th Titan Pokemon is Lv. 57 which is higher than the 5th Team Star Base's level cap which is 56?! This is the order I did in my playthrough of Pokemon Violet before the end of each storyline. I'm not a nuzlocker just to let you know. Gym 1 - Lv. 15 Titan Pokemon 1 - Lv. 16 Gym 2 - Lv. 17 Titan Pokemon 2 - Lv. 20 Team Star Base 1 - Lv. 21 Gym 3 - Lv. 24 Team Star Base 2 - Lv. 27 Titan Pokemon 3 - Lv. 29 Gym 4 - Lv. 30 Team Star Base 3 - Lv. 33 Gym 5 - Lv. 36 Gym 6 - Lv. 42 Titan Pokemon 4 - Lv. 45 Gym 7 - Lv. 45 Gym 8 - Lv. 48 Team Star Base 4 - Lv. 51 Team Star Base 5 - Lv. 56 Titan Pokemon 5 - Lv. 57

My first gen 9 shiny was Mareep. I've proceeded to be a shepherd, having Mareep be the only shiny, outside of a single Rookidee, that I can find without using a sandwich or outbreak.

Found a random full odds shiny eiscue RIGHT before completing the dex and getting the shiny charm. It was so exciting, I love purple so much!

My first gen 9 shiny was a Fidough just after the lighthouse during the story, I freaked out and named it toast :>

My first shiny was a full odds eiscue while walking around the fairy type team star base, My first ever shiny was in Pokémon moon, but I didn’t know it was shiny but I caught it because it looked cool and I named it: Cool! I later found out it was a shiny and was very glad I caught it. (It was a shiny boldore.)

The accent makes this video so much more enjoyable xD

[@Gentledude.]

i was honestly worried it would make people click off 😅

LOL NOOO I'm obsessed with this accent! You don't see a litta youtubers with it xD Most accents i find that arent american are mostly british!! So I was laughing the whoke way through ong Even showerd this vid to my girlfriend who's also into the accent Definitely subscribed! I gotta get more of that LMAO

[@SirMalorak]

Silly question but did you get a push in your video somehow? Ads, some bigger content creator recommend it, anything like that? You just made this video and it got to this many views natively? That's very impressive. The video's great, it deserves it, just curious

Nope, just got good enough stats that youtube recommended it to Pokémon enjoyers i guess

[@Shay96]

I would say Goomy is an awesome first gen IX shiny, but I probably just sped past a shiny without realising once Miraidon gets boost.

[@Gentledude.]

that’s awesome, yeah we all absolutely have.. the curse of no shiny sound in the wild is real

The different screen depends on the location, it does the same when hatching eggs, my first shiny in gen 9 was a Salandit, first reaction was to panic and hope that against the odds of the gender ration it would be female, encounter it and it was male. Caught it anyways it was the first shiny I found in the game.
