Roasting sawsbuck for being normal type is weird when that means it gets stab return/ strength. Normal is fantastic for it. Also, jump kick, swords dance, leech seed and nature power (defaults to eq for most important battles) are fantastic movepool options.

[@fandomgamer6240]

I've used a hustle durant in one of my runs against the elite 4 and it really carried against caitlyn and grimsley. I'm telling y'all, don't get disappointed if your durant has hustle. Just teach him the move hone claws and you'll be fine.

Problem with durant is that it's so lategame, It's not very worth it. If you want a bug/steel type you can get one much earlier.

I like using the early evolution option in the universal Pokemon randomizer, it feels specifically made for BW as the late evolutions are changed to happen at lv40 which gives u strong Pokemon for the 8th gym which feels perfect

[@FxAlmightyZay]

This is why I prefer to play Drayano type rom hacks over the actual games. Pokémon are found and evolve at reasonable locations and levels allowing you to use them and their final evolutions sooner in the game.

[@geisterwolf397]

How does early evos impact learned moves. Specifically ones only learnable by a pre-evolution. If Mon A learns a really good move at 45 and normally evolves at 50 but now it evolves at 40 will it never learn that move?

One of the most annoying things in gen 5 is the evolution levels being so damn high. It works for B/W because the game only has unova Pokémon in it, but they translate extremely poorly to other games or even B2W2. I always find myself not using unova Pokémon because they evolve so late that they become a hinderance to your team.

[@josephspagnolo3376]

I would’ve put Reuniclus higher just cuz with magic guard you can give it a life orb and it won’t take any damages. So you’re boosting all your attacks w/o drawback. Great video

[@skeetermania3202]

That would require a very long grind in the Battle Subway (or PWT in B2W2).

[@lukesoderbloom9905]

I think alomomola is highly underrated. It learns wish by level up, and with that, aqua ring, leftovers, protect, and toxic it can kill pretty much any non poison/steel type that can’t set up. It can also pass huge wishes to teammates, which can be huge

[@shadycroby1253]

Man, you are still the best nuzlocker on youtube, no doubt. I consider myself a defensive player, so it was interesting to hear your points. However, I've noticed some things, that i want to mention: For Liepard i have to say that Prankster is only a hidden ability, so you gonna stuck with Limber or Unburden. I also think Cincinno should deserve a higher place just because of Encore which is busted. Emolga is another underrated mon that knows Encore and you can actually get it before Elesa. I would also swap Maractus placement with Sawsbuck's. Sawsbuck is actually a pretty good offensive mon. SD, Jump Kick, Megahorn, Wild Charge, Return and Horn Leech. Maractus sadly only has Leech Seed and thats all. I have too defend Cofagrigus as well. WOW is such a good move and Mummy is actually a really useful Ability. Another interesting one was Seismitoad. Personally I think its only a B tier mon. You mentioned Water Absorb as an ability, but sadly its a Hidden Ability again. Toad has another downside too: It doesn't have any good ground move. EQ is a TM in the post game, so you're stuck with Bulldoze, Dig or Mud Shot. Keep it up bro!

[@skeetermania3202]

Something worth noting is that Encore only lasts 3 turns, limiting setup for a partner to only one turn.

[@goatgeek5018]

The only thing i find liepard useful for is elesa, elesa usually trips me up cus of the constant para and volt switch bs so having liepard with limber so you never get paralyzed and having pursuit to punish volt switch is genuinely really useful(i put the macho brace on it so it pursuits after volt switch)

That actually sounds cool, but then again the issue is trying to keep it alive as a Purrloin so it can become a Liepard most of the time imo.

[@kanaxaufxanax490]

However, the first Pokémon mentioned in F tier are really good in BW2. Braviary and Mandibuzz are overworld static encounters in one of two games and Volcarona can be caught on level 35, but the level up moveset is garbage until level 60

Yo. I’d say move Emboar to high/mid A. Doesn’t learn a single physical Fire move other than Flame Charge until level 62 (Flare Blitz), which you obviously won’t reach in a HC nuzlocke of BW. And put Exca above Krook. My Exca pretty much swept almost every fight the moment I got her.

Great job with the video!

[@francescomoretti934]

Also in BW2 you can guarantee a Cinccino with its hidden ability skill link, and the pokemon learns bullet seed, rock blast and tail slap through level up

[@gregburden416]

I feel that Liepard is way better than you give it credit for. Fake Out + Normal Gem Unburden is an insane combo, and it’s gimmicky movepool pairs well with its abilities. Also, Emolga is insane. It has access to amazing STAB in Thunder, Electro Ball, Acrobatics, and Air Slash. It gets both pivot moves (U-Turn + Volt Switch) and it has access to amazing utility in Encore. Definitely A tier at the lowest.

Ferrothorn is literally a W for the entire run if you know what you're doing. It can set up ingrain and curse (both of which it gets by level up) and just go to town on a team with power whip. It's so ridiculously bulky that nothing other than powerful stab fighting moves and fire blasts can kill it. And with curse, fighting type moves don't even matter anymore. It's also the best pivot, the best wall, and the best stealth rocks mon in the game.

[@dancook6114]

Shame that stealth rock is only available in the post game so that's irrelevant. But the rest is absolutely true, ferrothorn is a monster

[@Fullmetal_TD]

I respect your list but I definitely disagree with the placement of Sawsbuck. Its fast and it has a great attack stat. You mentioned it had a shallow movepool, yet that is incorrect. It has a ton of coverage with moves like Jump Kick, Megahorn, Wild Charge, Bounce, Faint Attack. With the move Nature Power it gets access to moves like Rock Slide and Earthquake. Not to mention it learns some pretty great stab moves like Horn Leech, Double Edge, Return. It can also learn statis moves such as Thunder wave and Toxic. And with Sap Sipper and Swords dance, it becomes immune to both grass and ghost, while also being able to boost its attack stat. It really deserved to be in a much better spot than C.

@@skeetermania3202 Yes I know it depends on the terrain that’s why you memorize what moves you will get with each type of terrain, and you use that to your advantage. It’s called strategy.

[@DocZ]

Personally I don't consider inaccurate moves like Jump Kick, Bounce or Megahorn viable because I only play with absolute certainty of hitting. Sure I do hit 95/85% of the time but I refuse to risk that chance of miss bc it might be during an important battle. Wild Charge is a good one, pairs nicely with Horn Leech, but against which E4 pkmn will you be using that against (bc you can't get Wild Charge earlier) and if there are, will you be swapping out a Pkmn for Sawsbuck just to use Wild Charge on them? Personally I would not bring in Sawsbuck just for that strat. Faint Attack is bad, lets be honest. Against such bulk mons, a non-stab 60 bp move will get you nowhere. Stab moves are good, but not for the part of the game you get Sawsbuck and sure it gets TWave and Toxic, but Sawsbuck is not bulky Pkmn to be setting up with. That's what I use Amoongus for. And Sap sipper is only 50% of the time.

I like this list, doing my first Nuzlocke with the delta emulator today

[@dancook6114]

nice tier list, I ended up agreeing with most placements but there were a small number I think should have been different. First is liepard, hard F tier for me. Prankster is only as a hidden ability and since dream world no longer exists you cant get it. So without that its just super weak, super frail and just dies to a strong gust of wind. Its best stab move until level 43 is pursuit and aside from that you're relying on slash for damage. All of that makes liepard completely useless Next is Musharna, I think you were a little generous to that one as well. It's stats are solid for sure but unless you want to be stuck with psybeam as your only psychic move for the entire game you have to keep it as a crappy little munna until level 37, way beyond the point where it will have just dropped off a cliff in terms of usefulness. That being said if you don't add it to the team until after that point then its a fine pokemon since you'll be grinding it up to the level of the rest of the team anyway. Now for something a bit more positive. I actually find garbodor super useful provided it doesn't have weak armour. That ability alone might justify the low tier but if it doesn't have it then its a defensive beast. Very few weaknesses with access to stockpile, rest and toxic plus rocky helmet is difficult for a lot of important boss trainers to deal with. I personally would put garbodor in low B tier with stench, probably bottom of C with weak armour. Lastly is druddigon. I think the placement is about where I would put it but I think its more useful against specifically drayden/iris than you think it is. The only dragon move their pokemon have is dragon tail, which always goes last. And druddigon is plenty bulky enough to survive a non dragon move from them with the attack power to back it up. Definitely not the best dragon in unova but thanks to the opelucid gym having horrible team design it can have its uses

[@DocZ]

you should argue with @Greg Burden

[@dancook6114]

@@DocZ oh? What have they said that I might disagree with?

I think I said that this list would be applicable only to BW and not BW2, though most of the rankings would stand. This list was made with BW2 not in mind.

Even if Liepard can get a Nasty Plot or Taunt, Liepard most likely will not be able to kill and would need to switch out. The problem isn't Prankster, it's that prankster is on weak Pkmn.
