Can I Beat Pokémon Using Black's MANGA Team? (Hardcore Nuzlocke Challenge)

[@magnuspkmn]

It's been a little bit, sorry for the wait! This one's probably my favorite team comp, which mon was your favorite? Mine is probably Galvantula from using him in UU for Sticky Web and Compound Eyes + Thunder back in the day

[@navidahmed1]

Magnus could your costa not use the priority aqua jet before going down as it would have damaged the opposing caracosta? Or would it not have made a difference?

You can break your own rules you know. There are no nuzlocke police. Also i would find it more thematic to have braviary on your team. Otherwise fun video.

[@LunaticKD1991]

The gamers thought they wiped out all of the Nuzlocke Police. There's still one Nuzlocke Police alive though. 😶 His name is Sasuke Uchiha. He's the Nuzlocke Police Ninja. Don't break the rules or he'll arrest you after he tazes you with lightning and maybe burns you with flames.

Good one! Shame you couldn't evolve Brav, but another viewer pointed out that you could've edged his exp to juuust before lv51 before starting the E4 fights. Seeing how close he was to 54 right before the end, I think that would've closed the gap

[@PokemonWoop]

New Magnus vid 🔥 also having to keep Rufflet unevolved is brutal

[@magnuspkmn]

Love ya Woop! Congrats on 25K btw!!!

[@davidc.lalnelawma4776]

I personally consider the N/Ghetsis gauntlet to have a separate level cap (54) since you can leave the league in between. But your run, your rules.

[@GlaceonJib]

You can still warp out of the castle with an NPC help. That brings you back into the League's Pokemon Center. So you can still level up a bit more.

[@waxbruh5965]

Hey bro, been a huge fan of your manga nuzlocks, they’ve quickly become my fav! And as someone born and raised playing Pokémon since red version, black is quickly becoming my favorite one! You’ve seriously given me a major appreciation for the manga! Hope your channel blows up in a major way!

[@MarkofWisdom]

I say you should have used a rare candy on the rufflet to evolve it into braviary, especially since there was the one in N's room, and it would have been cool to see braviary even if only in the final fight vs Ghetsis

[@pendazareyrodriguez]

I’ve been waiting for this one. I used this team when I did my first nuzlocke of Pokémon Black. This also happens to be my favorite generation

[@BenHorval]

I loved the video. The commentary, the music, the gimmick. I'm glad I found your channel. Keep it up!

Would you ever consider doing a Sinnoh nuzlocke with only Platinum's manga team? It would be interesting to see you pull that off, especially since Platinum has some underwhelming pokemon on her team like Lopunny & Cherrim.

This is gonna be a good one!

[@magnuspkmn]

One of my favorite team comps, I hope I did it justice!! (although level 54+ Braviary before Gym 1 is OP af)

[@artheolabonner5178]

I think you were good to evolve Brav there, seeing as you're running a mangalocke. Therefore, it makes sense to have your final team match the manga team imo.

[@chilly_outside]

Dude this is awesome to you using Blacks team, as I think he has one of the more unique team comps. But I gotta know, where are you reading the manga in color??

[@Laserbeak316]

Amazing Manga Nuzlocke as always, this one came really close in that final battle with Ghetsis. If you don’t mind me asking Magnus, was it entirely necessary to evolve Musha so early on? Especially when it was restricted to using just Psybeam due to being a Stone Evolution Pokemon and since the TM’s for both Psychic and Psyshock were unavailable until the postgame. Which makes leveling it up to Level 37 where it learns Psychic naturally almost a necessity.

[@magnuspkmn]

I was really debating on that, but Munna learns Psychic at lv37 and that's after Gym 6. I figured I'd need the boost in stats for Clay anyway so I just bit the bullet early.

[@Laserbeak316]

@@magnuspkmn damn, I find myself in a quandary figuring out some sort of counterpoint. It never really occurred to me, but almost all of the good TM’s in BW are locked behind the post game. Literally the only thing I could argue in regards to delaying Musha’s evolution is using Yawn on Elesa’s Pokémon and then blocking any possible pivoting Volt Switches with Protect. You could even employ the same strategy in the match against Clay. But even the TM for Protect is locked until you show Professor Juniper that you’ve seen 60 Pokémon in the Pokédex (which may or may not be possible by the time you reach Nimbasa and/or Driftveil City, I haven’t done the math but it may just barely reach it). I’m actually surprised even Protect is not easily available in BW. So yeah, with the TM situation and lack of more reliable moves, maybe you really didn’t have a choice but to evolve Musha prematurely.

[@duncanhowser9959]

Great video, black and white were my first games and the manga were what really drove me to love the series even more. The only thing I could see changing if you wanted to redo this specific challenge and use Brav to its full potential would have been after the level cap was above 25 maybe doing a bit of "story telling" and trading in the level 25 Braviairy from black or white 2 witch ever one had it.

[@gabrieldevoogel6225]

Had volume 2 with the galvantula chapter as a kid, good memories

Love da hard work and great idea and challenge keep it up

[@yaboisanti8932]

GOODNESS GRACIOUS THATS A GOOD THUMBNAIL

[@greyvanity]

ngl i’ve think it would of been better to just start with brav as a braviary and maybe make it to where to didn’t obtain in by like gym 4 or 5? since it’s evolution level is so high it makes no sense to do a manga run with a braviary without actually using one tbh especially when brav was used in the lenora battle lmao

[@Quicklightning]

I tried looking for a video of someone using the team of Black from the manga a couple days ago! What a coincidence it exists now just a few days after I searched and was suggested to me

[@CrazyButterfly345]

[@proxy617]

since the level cap is 50 for elite four, you could battle wild pokemon till you reach just tens of exp till you level up. that way you could've increased your chances of getting level 54 before ghetsis.

[@darklordscaryman818]

You should use hareta's team from the other pokemon diamond and pearl manga

[@EthanKnitessb]

Dude this video rules keep it up

Personally, I say a Black/White Nuzlocke is over after defeating Alder, not Ghetsis; every other Pokémon game ends with a Champion fight, ya know?

Fun fact: You don’t need to collect gym badges in Black/White Black2/White2 to use HM’s out side of battle. (Though you will need a completed game and another DS/3Ds to trade with.)

Or you can just use PKHex/PKSM to teach your Pokémon HMs before you obtain them naturally.

[@skyhighfive1266]

It might be a bit cheese, but you might’ve been able to grind some cup on Brav until right before he level ups. That way he’s still at cap but there’s a chance to get the evo. You’d just need to be careful about who you grind and where.

[@Rover074]

great sponsor :D

[@chewbacachunks8644]

Dude don't worry about the nuzlocke police. They are cringe and nerds. I don't think anybody with a normal functioning brain would have objected to you using that one rare candy to get Braviary. Especially since this isn't a normal nuzlocke, and is a heavily themed run. After all even mr. Nuzlocke himself, Pchal is rare candy pilled. In his own words, grinding is cringe, and rare candies are better for the content. A nuzlocke can have whatever rules you want. It's not like it's a competition.
