Can I actually beat a Pokemon Y hardcore nuzlocke with just Poison Type pokemon and no items or overleveling?
Normal Nuzlocke Ruleset:
1. If your Pokemon faints it must be released
2. I can only catch the first Poison Type Pokémon on each Route
3. I must nickname my Pokémon
Hardcore Nuzlocke Ruleset:
4. No items in battle (held items are fine)
5. No leveling past the next gym leader/E4's highest level Pokemon (at the START of the battle)
6. Play on "Set" battle mode

What’s your favorite Poison type?! 🧪

[@ashleave]

Croagunk or Nidoking

[@kevinguan8499]

That’s a tough question, there are a bunch of great poison types, my favourite would be crobat

[@matthewhubbard5265]

Toxicroak definitely number 1 for me, but Toxtricity and Crobat close runner ups. And to answer the question you asked in the video, I think just mentioning previous runs is fine, unless something particularly ridiculous/humorous happened in a failed run that you wanted to show off

[@wolfbane17]

Its a tie between Toxicroak and Drapion ,Roserade is a very close 2nd

[@invividcolor]

you all have impeccable taste

[@ultima1594]

Yay someone who likes XY Also when I did a hardcore nuzlocke for XY, I just made the level cap for the League 68.

[@invividcolor]

Love XY. Want to plan another challenge in the reason

[@minotostar]

Yay!

So sad😭. It should have been 69! It would have been nice

[@skibot9974]

5:25 I feel it’s fine to ban Mega Venasaur and Megas in general as there’s only two or three trainers who use Megas during the campaign. However, I feel you should’ve allowed normal Venasaur. You say the starter is too powerful, but had you done a Grass, Fire, Water, Fighting, Psychic, or Dark challenge you would’ve used a starter

[@Meatmarbles]

It's always fun to hear from someone who also appreciates Kalos as much as I do :) It's fine if you don't show all battles with the rivals, the last one should be shown, and when it comes to evil teams, the leader battles I would appreciate to be seen. And also, it's not necessary to show all losses, but I wouldn't mind if you would show us really close battles which you had lost.

[@invividcolor]

Good thoughts! I appreciate them! Also - yes! I'm already planning another Kalos run because I think it's a super fun gen

[@MathiasGoated]

@@invividcolor hello sir, first time viewer here. Enjoy the video, and agree w what the other homie said. Last rival fight, close losses, and evil boss/miniboss or admin fights (basically important fights). I would watch videos with all that + what you’re doing now, good job

[@C0hen22]

@@invividcolor Frog Pokémon only

[@tedpowles7819]

Great job! Poison has always been one of my favorite types, but it hardly ever gets any love. As for a challenge idea, go for a normal move only run. For ghosts you have to use foresight, odor sleuth, or have scrappy.

[@invividcolor]

This is a wild concept and I love it.

[@tedpowles7819]

@@invividcolor I've been wanting someone to try this, but too many people think Normal is just too normal.

I love all the digimon references in your video. Glad to see someone else has a healthy appreciation for both series instead of just screeching that one copied the other

[@lisajo89]

Awesome run! Love the Brink reference lmao I think I like showing the most dramatic battles, whether you win, lose, wipe, etc. So showing early wipes would be ok for me haha

[@invividcolor]

Thank you for the feedback, also glad you enjoyed it!

[@damianodidomenico4756]

Finally someone who appreciates Kalos. I absolutely loved it, even though it's stupid easy. Also, this video is beautiful, the music, your voice and how you talk is very good, to me at least. That's a subscribe right there. Comments are good for the KZbin algorithm

[@invividcolor]

Thank you so much! I've always been a little weird about my voice, so when people tell me they like it that means a lot! Super happy you enjoyed the content!

[@westhorizon2472]

I have rather fond memories of Kalos. I love Vivillion. It was what won me my first competitive battle.

[@m24213]

" Girl next door wants to smash again" ookay, but why are you announcing it ? Also, you finally realized why hustle was the best possible ability for nidoran, cause it becomes sheer force bro.

[@MonkeBrain07]

Crobat makes every game a joke. It's just that good.

[@Shirker12]

Dear Lord. I remember watching Brink back in Elementary school. One of those substitute teachers that the teacher didn't leave any work for. Good times. Thanks for the nice hit of nostalgia.

[@invividcolor]

Haha, that’s perfect. I’ve been the teacher to not leave work before so I can super relate to this comment

[@Shirker12]

@@invividcolor It's always nice to give the students a small break. Though I don't know how well Brink would hold up. I haven't seen it in almost 20 years at this point. (Not entirely sure when it came out)

you’re my new favorite channel i’ve been bingeing your stuff. you’re a positive voice in the pokémon community

[@lazypaladin]

Love to see Poison Type getting rep! Tied Favourite Type along with Fighting. Toxicroak is deffo my fave. Great run my guy 👌

[@rivermetimber]

Honestly I think one of my favorite poison types is Crobat! After using it in pokemon Alpha Sapphire I kinda fell in love with it 😅💖

[@zirc_]

crobat always be one of my favs

[@hiramocacio2079]

It was my first shiny, it shall always be in my top 3 favs...

[@ghostbones137]

I've used Crobats for at least 4 of my runs, including an EV trained one for a (failed) nuzlocke. They're absolute beasts!

[@MrRichieRides]

Omg brink was my favorite Disney channel movie as a kid 😂😂

[@invividcolor]

Haha, love it. I used to make sure to watch it every time it was on. I wanted to be a soul skater

[@blarschnarph]

My mono poison team in XY was pretty similar lol I had Nidoking, Crobat, Roserade, Tentacruel, Toxicroak, and Scolipede

[@invividcolor]

I opted for the Oddish over Venopede on whatever route that was, but I think both are solid for the run.

[@jackson-qk8sj]

Who else immediately thought of Breaking Bad when he named his oddish after the lily of the valley? Walt poisoned Brock with that flower.

[@mgrega9345]

I watch a lot of Nuzlockes and Pokémon videos. Never heard of your channel and rarely comment on anything. At 1:10 when you said your favorite types are Ghost, Grass, and Poison, I immediately subscribed. Those are my 3 favorites as well. Looking forward to more content and the rest of this video :)

[@lambskrit2236]

As a poison type trainer myself, I appreciate this amazing video! ❤

[@Savannah_Simpson]

I love the Kalos games for same reasons as you. I got back into Pokémon shortly before black 2 and white 2 came out and I remember how excited I was watching the Pokémon direct when x and y were announced

[@nikkivillemaire4855]

I played Pokémon X awhile ago and I had a Nidoqueen on team that was the VIP (Very Important Pokémon) in many of my battles. Especially against Diantha's Gardevoir, as my Nidoqueen had the Rivalry ability and took a couple a of Sludge Bombs to take it out!

[@pizzahutkidman8806]

9:00 That's because Pokémon in the Unknown Egg Group have 3 perfect IVs in more recent games, which is mainly for legendaires but also gives them to baby Pokémon, it's pretty cool! (From what I've looked up Baby mons getting it is only in X and Y which is neat.)

[@TheGamingCamel22]

Man what a great video and a lovely challenge! And that double battle with the Machoke and Mr Mime, I also lost a Pokemon there, totally wasn't prepared haha! I also noticed while doing nuzlockes for the Kalos games, the random trainers were tougher than most of the bosses. Also also, Arbok would have probably done well here, it has intimidate, coil and really good coverage moves, but maybe that's just me liking Arbok so much haha

[@invividcolor]

I actually love Arbok, but ngl, didn’t know you could get it in the main game, haha

[@TheGamingCamel22]

[@invividcolor]

HEY! Thanks :)

[@Darkjonny79]

One thing I'd say to add, is checking the natures of your pokemon. Some of the monotype hardcore Nuzlockers show what they are and check them, and you can see from there if it's going to help or hinder you.

[@kennojex]

Deserves more views by the quality of this video! Keep it up

[@invividcolor]

Thank you so much!

[@bro-rm5xo]

I'm doing a poison only run of fire red rn! Weedle was also my starter but I had to beat brock with just a beedrill (decided not to use bulbasaur just because)

[@zerouser_2672]

I'm happy people still like these games

[@Dark_Side_Productions]

I’d love to see the wipes. It keeps the timeline feeling dynamic and on the edge of your seat.

[@Necrostevo]

Great video! I am a fan of sharing the unique moments/challenges that you have. If the evil team/rival battles are interesting in the way you had to prep or strategize, I would love to see them.

[@invividcolor]

Solid feedback! Thanks, man!

Passing up an easy OP member in Venasaur was pretty cool. Idk if it's the sadistic part of me but I like when Nuzlockers make it tougher on themselves intentionally 👍🏽

Same, honestly

[@lostenthestory5379]

I would like to see the Wipes where you came the closest to winnning, but not all of them.

[@kinoko6096]

I’m doing a psychic monotype playthrough of Kalos currently! I almost chose poison since there are so many cool poison types in gen 6 so I’m glad I got to see your run.

[@albabimam1114]

Fun Fact: in XY only, all wild baby pokemon has 3 perfect IVs since they are in the same egg group (Undiscovered) as legendaries

Nightshade and Arsenic were just such clutch catches. Those two were just beats for this run.

[@pp1265]

Loved the video, I’m subscribed now, I think you should’ve used bulbasaur since he was the only option for a mega and I love megas but anyway nice video 😁

[@JacobEerie1]

I think if I had a critique it’d be to take some breaths/ pauses. You are flying through the script/ run and I feel it’s important to let the audience process some of the information a bit every now and again. Just like a jazz musician won’t just keep playing notes over and over for a solo. They allow some space to go by. Just a suggestion/ my opinion. First video I’m seeing of yours so idk if this is a reoccurring thing or not.

[@Amber-fm1rn]

Very funny story, before seeing this video I just started a y hardcore poison lock

[@invividcolor]

Good luck! I think it's a super fun run. Watch out for early Psychics. They're bonkers scary

Just came across your video. Happily subscribed since poison is probably my favorite type. My other favorite is ice type. Not sure if you have done a ice type nuzlocke yet.

[@invividcolor]

Ice is on the list of runs to try!

[@MaddMoke]

This was alot of fun. For future videos I like the pace you set. Having a few sentences about failed runs are fine and if the "main story villians" arent hard or notable, I see no reason to linger on it. Focus on the fights you have issues with regardless of what the story in game says :)

[@japethspeaketh7034]

Electric/Flying is the most demonic typing out there. There's a reason why you find this typing on either mediocre Pokemon (Emolga & Oricorio Pom Pom) or on legendaries (Thunderus & Zapdos), but even the mediocre Electric/Flying types become a lot better because of it's typing.

[@invividcolor]

Agree. Emolga was a nightmare for me here.

[@zememerr2329]

I think discussing things other than gyms really depends on what game you’re playing. Games like BW2 and SWSH have *huge* gaps between the 8th gym and champion, and trainers like Colress/Ghetsis are gym leader level difficulty if not moreso. But then in games like XY, you just go straight to the league after the 8th gym and there’s not many important battles to discuss

[@berrysewsu]

Tbh i was excited for u to use the hulbasaur but turns out u box it ;w;

[@jaxiithesimp]

poison types are my favourite

[@Monkeylad392]

The whole roselia having 3 perfect IVs is because of all baby pokemon in the wild being guaranteed 3

Been a huge poke fan my whole life. But kalos has been my favorite since it came out.

[@jasonmadfish7000]

So I’m sure someone else already commented this but I’m too lazy to look. Baby Pokémon starting in Gen 6 always have 3 perfect ivs and you just happened to get lucky with budew having the exact 3 that it needed
