Can We Beat The TOUGHEST Pokemon In Nuzlocke History??

[@hanso4830]

I think this falls in the imposibility clause, where you've found the one dr strange reality where you win. And you then sack the team, and continue with a new team.

[@DarkSpyro29]

I like this idea.

[@nathanamber569]

Yo, that’s not a bad idea at all

[@anthonygomez9918]

I'll say this is the best idea

[@AriousArchaic]

Big wrinkly brain! Still got mons in the PC waiting to be used. And restarting would not give them a chance. You had an impossible moment that had to be theory crafted to beat. So as long as you beat it. you should just do as the original comment stated. 🤜🤛💯

[@HowlAvalon]

I'd say pick 1 pair that "survives" and then pick a new team from what's available

[@crriggins]

I love the idea of an “Island Clause” and, to appease the gods, maybe include a sacrifice clause where you both have to sacrifice a pair? Either by RNG or by choice. Whatever. Just a thought to appease the Tapu’s

[@ameribano8910]

I support this!

[@twinsuns2494]

This but only sacrifice if you guys each have a decent (full?) team. Don't want one sacrifice to create an endless loop of pain

[@amethystcovette]

I think the island clause is a really good idea. You might want to change the healing clause to 3 potions and 3 status healers. Including status healers as one “heal” is pretty detrimental.

[@dontewrecks9452]

I agree, considering how cracked the totems can turn out to be it just feels unreasonable to have to restart the entire Locke with the kind of insanity potentially on every totem.

[@mimthyss]

I like this idea! And/or increasing the number of heals for totem fights regardless feels like it could be very useful.

[@BuffSushi]

Or simply take off the heal clause for how broken totems are. But maybe try limiting yourselves to 3 but like if something like TTar shows up again u can break it?

[@farhanpwns]

THIS^ I was even gonna say do away with the heal clause as most Nuzlockers don't even do it

[@eachfilly825]

It's perfect after a few episodes challenge other nuzloclockerd to beat with your rules

[@robertdean7953]

This was brutal considering how awesome things were going. All in all please don't stop, this has been a very fun (albeit emotional) nuzlocke.

[@Gil7Bertson]

I’d like to apologize for hoping for a couple deaths so that my Trapinch could slide into the slot. I feel like I may have jinxed us 😅

[@jamplan8267]

Not using trapinch is what cursed them. Flygon is one of my favorite mons

[@JonGuttenburg]

I was hoping for the exact same thing with my ponyta lol

[@ThreeD243]

The fact the TTar didn't miss a single Rock Slide is kinda insane also.

[@maxvanderschuit7121]

especially when in pokemon 90% accuracy realistically means about 50% chance when your using attacks😂

[@mimthyss]

I'm assuming that it probably had +3 to its accuracy stat as well, since all of its stats were boosted, and thats why? But honestly at this point, I also wouldn't be surprised if thats not the case and they just really are that unlucky 😅

[@KrazieKanuk]

@@mimthyss Actually the only things that didn't get +3 were accuracy and evasion, absolutely brutal outcome for the boys.

[@Chilliconkanye]

Probably has no guard

[@songofthieves]

​@@Chilliconkanye It did eventually miss in a subsequent battle, so it really just hit 9 in a row in that first battle. Which is technically still about average luck, since it should miss 1 in 10. Just absolutely no slack from RNGsus

I like how Terrakion revealed a big rock weakness and then Tyranitar shows up. Man you CAN’T write this stuff. Season 9 when?

[@SenseiSeth]

IMO if you restart an island you have to no longer use the party you lost with, BUT you get to re-encounter the island. I worry about the 1 video at a time at 3 hours would be tough on the CTR for new viewers, but I’d 100% still watch it.

[@RestlessArrows]

I like the island clause - it keeps you guys’ life sensible. You could re-randomise your starting party, i.e. keep the level of each Pokemon the same but individually randomise the mon, ability, item etc. would be a very fun first vid looking through the party! Please keep struggling on, we all love this series so much!!!

[@MrFruitPokemon]

Only problem is there's no way to re-rerandomize pokemon we'll already have so might try and figure some other solution out

[@brunooliveira7618]

@@MrFruitPokemon there is no way to randomize eggs by the amount of pokemon in the team and in the box?

[@DracoSafarius]

@@brunooliveira7618 They could use save editing and then a 3rd party site to randomize a pokemon, held item, moveset, ability etc. and change the save to match Edit: Should add that while possible this would be a giant pain for Fruit and Rob as it could straight up wholly invalidate pairs leaving them with like one usable pair out of 6 in a worst case, and even to get best case would take constant rerolling. So, good idea, and I'd enjoy it, but safer to probably not.

[@Mac_Laoch]

@@MrFruitPokemon a way to do this would be to go back to the first island routes and catch new mons for a 1-1 swap of your current (dead) party. Just level them up to snuff and go from there.

Love the island clause. Hate that you ran into Godzilla and that necessitated it. Onwards to Season 9 - Definitely the Run! Even though you haven’t beaten the locke (yet), it’s just as fun that we get to keep watching!

[@hexxodus]

If you're gonna count each island as a mini nuzzlocke, then I think its probably fair to rerandomize your starting party. Keep the levels you had but randomize the mons so its more like starting an actual nuzzlocke.

[@tucker2138]

Yeah and if there are any pair that randomize to being illegal just count them as an encounter token

[@93Miquel]

Yeah, or make it so you only use the mons you had in your box. Your old failed mini nuzzlock team gets axed. Regardless of the amount you have in your box, that’s it.

If rhab makes it through that tyranitar fight he is an absolute legend. Edit: Just got to the last fight part and all I can say is regardless of what anyone says, Rhab is a legend and an actual godslayer. A triple boosted Tyranitar is basically a rogue evil god descended only to end his run. I hope Rhab takes the weekend and knows he did his best. Maybe try a dark souls challenge run it’ll be way easier than that tyranitar fight. 😂

[@TheKrypticX]

No, Rhab just sucks and is an idiot. Literally, Fruit was playing two lockes, its not fun to watch imo, also thought Fire was weak to Ice. I know Rhab doesn't play much pokemon, but honestly its not fun watching. He can't make any choices for himself. I know it sounds mean, but its just what i gather from watching this series

[@GoodGuyPyro]

[@Sup_Fools]

@@TheKrypticX if you really think Rhabs knowledge of Pokémon was to blame for the wipe you know less about Pokémon than he does. That triple boost to every stat made that tyranitar 2.5 times stronger than a normal tyranitar, essentially making it a level 60. Outside of sheer luck like Rhab showed with a lucky crit and luck with its move choices it’s a wipe. It outspeeds and overpowers anything in a nuzlocke.

[@zanekaufman2113]

I think a fun way to start each island is to “pick a new starter”. You could look at the first 3 different encounters for the first route of the new island and you get to pick which pair to start with. I really appreciate all the hard work you guys have put into this! Love you guys!

[@twinsuns2494]

The island clause sounds like a great idea. Maybe if the island clause does come into play, you guys lose a pair of mons or something to acknowledge that there was a "loss"? But have the stipulation that you only lose mons, or whatever feels right, if you have 7 viable pairs or something to not make it too overkill. Definitely think you guys need something so you can beat the locke, we want you guys to succeed this next run for sure! Really appreciate the dedication from Fruit and Rhab.

Okay! So here's my thoughts on how to start a new island when you wipe; all Pokemon go to the PC RIP Box. Give yourself and Rhab 3 eggs to hatch and there's your new batch (of course in the meantime you can use a dead Pokemon to help raise them up to the appropriate level for the start of the island). OR! After you've re-randomized, travel back to the first 3 routes and catch a Pokemon per route (up to 3) and that's your new team. Best of luck! Love y'all 😘❤️ You can do eeet!

This might be just me, but I think they should continue the lock from the post crit world where they are currently living in with the new rules in place and maybe they both just have to sack a pair or something along those lines because it’s very unfair to play in and the RNG gods made that nigh impossible to keep going from.

[@Some_Soup]

Sorry for the loss boys. We all appreciate the effort you both are putting into this lock! One idea is that you could introduce the Tterror (a bad play on Ttar, I know) clause. You save just before a totem pokemon; if it has the same aura as the Tyranitar did in season 8, you have to fight it once. If you lose, you get one reroll to randomize the totem and try again. If you die on the first attempt against the second mon, you restart the island.

[@AstroneerRoy]

Appreciate all your hard work on this series like you always do.

Mr.Fruit, we’ve stood by with you through the spicyness that are these nuzlocks for the sole purpose of enjoying YOUR and your cohosts journey through them. You have a great judge of what’s fair and fun. You have more than enough reason to create a new rule for these islands. It flat out is beyond unfair to fight a creature like that T-Tar and essentially defeats the spirit of the lock. So let’s include the new rule for these islands. As for how much you’ve pushed yourself for us I want to say that your work doesn’t go unnoticed and is greatly appreciated. It one of the highlights of my week.

Don't feel bad, that tyranitar was nearly impossible to beat. The island clause and the omega video are great ideas.

To give you guys a chance to keep the lock going I propose that you can each choose one pokemon (they don't have to already be a pair or you could do a pair to keep it slightly more true to a nuzlock) from a "dying universe" to keep in your party, those two are your new starters for that island. Fill the team from the box and re-randomize the island in front of you and go at it again.

I can understand the frustration of dying repeatedly (You guys encouraged me to start a nuzlocke of my own playing BW and I died immediately in route 2 by a Purloin that refuse to let me run and not hit a crit). Again, take any sort of breather you need, because if this locke at any point turns from a fun challenge to a depressing obligation, it's not longer content that's enjoyable for any of us, players or viewers and otherwise.

That way you're not specifically building your team toward the "unkillable" Totem, or bummed that you got the lowroll Luvdisc in a patch of grass that you know had Mega Alakazam or something. (And cuz it seemed like this seed would always deliver a beefcake T-tar for Rob.) Basically, keeping the concept of the start of each island being a "save point," but then it's a new seed each time and you don't know what to expect. This would help you treat each island as a mini-Nuzlocke, and give you and us a fresh experience each time there's a reset/wipe.

Fruit and Rhab channeling their inner Dr Strange to find the 1 in 14,000,605 where we win. Plus really love the fast forwarding montage with fruit eating chips. Please keep this nuzlocke going, I really look forward to seeing it every evening (minus weekends) "It ain't about how hard you can hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward" #FruitNation

Honestly Fruit, I'll take what I can get. I'm here for the encounters, the pain, the wins, all of it. Thank you for looking out for us and keeping this up

Island clause is a great idea! Just to once again make it more manageable for the locke (and you and Rhab's mental health) to consider the alternate future clause. Basically if you have a battle where either of you wipe you get a chance per island to take what you learned from that fight to go back in with adjustments to team, item line up but no leveling to see if you can find the 1 future you succeed! Works into your collective determinations to win demonstrated by a whole 1 and half hours on a dead locke to see if you could do it. Love the series would personally much rather the daily weekdays than a mega video but of course focus on yourself and skip an upload or 2 of the locke every now and then to give yourself a break if needed. You guys can do this! I have no doubt you will overcome the odds!!!

the fact that t-tar got the aura boost that freaking ultra necrozma gets is such a "what are the odds" moment its insane. would love to see this locke go on but take a break if needed! love you guys and love the content!

[@HLGxELITEKILLER]

This Locke has been a rollercoaster every step of the way! I’m happy you guys are powering through for us but take you time we aren’t going anywhere.

We love you fruit! I’m super excited for season 9, this season had a sad ending but I’m sure that our heroes will return triumphantly in the next run. I like the idea of the island clause a lot. Make sure to take breaks if you need to! None of us want you to burn out. If you miss an upload here or there it’ll be okay ❤

I was so distracted by Mr. Fruit shoveling those chips into his mouth at Mach 12 speed on fast forward I didn’t even see how many Tyranitar fights happened 😂 The island clause is a good idea! And we love the content, it’s a highlight of my day so whatever you gotta do to keep it coming!

[@antoniohenderson6090]

Mr . Fruit, you are the GOAT. Between work and health issues, you've started one of the greatest Nuzlockes ive ever seen. Please continue, but even if you need to take a bit of time before starting with the new island clause, we will be there :)

[@kackplaysgames3062]

Love the island clause idea, definitely wanna see this series continue without both of your guys sanities suffering, honestly I wouldn’t mind seeing the current run continue and maybe do a random 2-3 pairs get axed to keep some fairness like you did in past lockes, cause +3 ttar is just unfair plain and simple, regardless I can’t wait to keep watching, always love the love and care you put into these series!
