My First EVER playthrough of Pokémon Ultra Moon, using only Ghosts and Hardcore Nuzlocke rules!

[@BUNGA912]

I like how he said “I’ll only limit to one z-move per battle” but you can only do one z-move per battle

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Yeah, I was pretty proud of that line

[@ricardodamacenafilho4049]

Rotom can allow you to use 2

[@yeetuszilla1663]

"I will limit myself to 1 mega evolution per battle" Same stuff

[@endeityloon136]

the reason klefki outsped ghost rider is because it has the prankster ability, which gives status moves like thunder wave priority. no matter how fast you were, it would always go first when it used a non-attacking move

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Yeah, that was pretty obvious wasn’t it? Not very good of me to neglect that

[@pokemonmastermelon4531]

ah yes, another Joe Banger. and once again im late. honestly, Alola has like an insane amount of ghost types and so this is the perfect nuzlocke, especially for spooky season. Gengar is one of my favorite ghost types, so i was excited to see how Bloody Mary would do...ANYWAYS Ghost Rider was pretty cool, love your content as always, 10/10

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Yeah I’m really disappointed I got my fave ghost killed so soon. But it gave me the chance to use some of the other awesome ghosts!

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Btw, this is still day one so I don’t really consider late tbh. I’m just glad you enjoy them!

[@pokemonmastermelon4531]

@@NuzlockeJoe ah, you know me, i always enjoy your content. i actually wonder if ive commented on every post. might have to go back and see

[@NuzlockeJoe]

You’ve commented on most of them, if not all. Even if you’ve missed some, 90% is better than 0%!

[@pokemonmastermelon4531]

@@NuzlockeJoe i missed the pink shiny. dont worry tho, i just commented on it! this is all for my own satisfaction btw. you just happen to benefit from it, lmao (and this internet, is what we call a JOKE)

[@Mr.DoubleDG]

Dang, I'm impressed how you come out with these this quickly and with such quality, I took over a month to edit my last nuzlocke. Massive respect

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Thanks! I mean I spent literally all my freedom on Pokémon stuff, so I can get through the gameplay in two weeks, and then edit the next two weeks while playing the next challenge. It’s basically a part time job with much less pay.

[@cubyology]

I never realized there were so many ghost types i liked :O I'm mostly drawn to water types or fighting types but these ghost types are super cool too

[@anyathepanther7977]

In all these Ghost Run Videos they all almost forget Sableye. How? My sweet little Gem Goblin 😭💜

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Sorry that she got killed so quickly too. That was sucky

[@clanedogg1]

Excellent run choice. USUM make for great entertainment and has to be the ultimate region to showcase the ghost type.

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Definitely the best ghost region.

[@manuelpavanello90]

Tapu Koko overkilled 3 Spearow.

[@JVreemer]

You and silph just dropped the same video but ultra moon v ultra sun. Kind of love to see it tho.

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Yeah I know! I just hope his much more popular video doesn’t take away from this one too much

[@rickywebb1803]

Lol I said the same thing

[@clanedogg1]

Literally just watched his and now watching yours. Can’t get enough.

[@Squirtle_Squad_Supremacy]

I got the notification of Joe uploading before Silph, Silph is a copier1!1!1!1!11!11!1!1!!!

[@antoniolara9004]

I love how no one ever mentions that tapu just killed 3 spearow lol

[@NuzlockeJoe]

They had it coming!

[@amib1971]

This was indeed the first nuzlocke of yours I watched! It was fun and entertaining all the same, even with the mistakes. I'll definitely be checking out a few more videos.

[@clanedogg1]

In terms of run suggestions; Platinum poison only (couple creators have tried this on diamond but not platinum) Ultra moon grass only (insane difficultly but doable) Kalos psychic (I’ve done this run and it was a ton of fun.)

[@NuzlockeJoe]

The poison one does sound interesting, do you think it would be harder, or easier in platinum?

[@clanedogg1]

@@NuzlockeJoe harder for sure. One less encounter than diamond (skuntank) and I think platinum is just generally harder than DP.

[@mazharsiddiqi7288]

Great video Was great that Decidueye made it to the end to win the playthrough in a Starter vs Starter battle

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Yep! I try to keep starters on the team for as long as possible, because overall they tend to be pretty good. In this one, I lost a lot of other Pokémon, so it basically guaranteed him a spot

[@SargeWolf010]

11:46 Nuzlocke request: Pokémon Legends: Arceus Fighting types only [GL] or Pokémon YOU CHOOSE! 1st pick YOUR favorite type then 2nd pick YOUR favorite game and go ham 😂😅

[@davidladouceur466]

I did a run like this in Ultra-moon as well, I admire your courage to do nuzlock cause... I can't! Nice video!

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Thanks! I wouldn’t praise me too much if I were you, because I made plenty of mistakes in this run!

[@youalreadyknowitspepper714]

35:59 threw for a loop sayin that koala was spelt wit a W

[@NuzlockeJoe]

It could be, and would still sound the same!

[@SithLordLerg]

Did say I'd watch this after finding one of your other videos. This was an awesome run through. Shame you never got to use the sandcastle though 😂

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Yeah I know! I’m currently playing through ultra sun so I’ve been thinking about this run a lot

[@justinbowman2126]

As a native Nevadan I appreciate the Nevada Day reference. We got the day off of school every year.

[@mickgorro]

A-gislash, B-drill, C-dot... Can we make a whole pokemon alphabet like that?

[@minhlahoang6659]

My favourite type in October, nice. Keep it up

[@kblonk6489]

loved this video man, ghost type is my favorite especially gengar haha too bad he only got 2 seconds of screentime

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Yeah that was rough, but at least she still killed a raichu.

[@stvmann1966]

Here in Michigan the holiday we celebrate in October is Youmacon !

[@annieschmitz1691]

How did mimikyu copy all the boosts? I love mimikyu and I suck at setup lol

[@NuzlockeJoe]

The move psych up copies your opponents stats boosts. I wasn’t 100% sure it would work for totem Pokémon, but it totally does!

[@rickywebb1803]

Lmao the fact that you and another KZbin uploaded a ghost type nuzelocke of this exact game at the same time

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Yeah, if I had know I would have tried to release it 30 min earlier. It’s basically the same game too!

[@FluffiestWalrus]

How did you get a choice specs for the gengar to use against the ghost trial?

[@ugandaknuckles850]

The real challenge of a USUM nuzlocke:10 million cutscenes

[@IllidariShizen]

I agree the Battle Royal is NOT a real death. It's not exactly fair since they often seem to go 3-on-1 against you in it instead of each other. (At least it's usually that way for me.)

[@oshikuru09]

Ive seen a couple of your videos now and it made me want to try a nuzlocke challenge. Figured I'd do gen 1 since I've played it enough I could probably write a simple walkthrough. Got cocky and lost my Pidgey rushing to the pokecenter after being poisoned lol

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Yeah I get that. It’s pretty easy to get cocky and think you can just do one with minimal preparation. I lost a Pokémon to poison once on the SS Anne, and that taught me to always have items along just in case lol

[@gaminggoddess85]

Komala is coma + koala. Coma because of its signature ability Comatose, which gives it all the effects of being asleep without being asleep. So it can use Snore and Sleep Talk and can't be poisoned, paralyzed or burned (or put to sleep obviously) but it takes double damage from Wake-Up Slap and Hex and can be hit by Dream Eater, Nightmare and Darkrai's Bad Dreams.

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Yeah I knew where the name came from, it was a bad joke lol. I didn't know about the wake-up slap, dream eater stuff though. That is really cool actually.

[@gaminggoddess85]

@@NuzlockeJoe It might be an interesting pokemon to try a solo challenge with since its item slot could be used for something besides status cure berries in big fights (probably Leftovers since it can't Rest due to technically being asleep already, so it might not really be that interesting after all).

[@noahjones2556]

Wait, in hau fight Marowak had cursed body but in Togedemaru it had lightning rod? Are they 2 different marowaks?

[@NuzlockeJoe]

No it’s the same one. You can get abilities pills (I think by using BP) in this game.

[@magiccauldron5553]

Same type of pokemon, opposite games, posted at the same day around the same time by different channels? That's one hell of a crazy coincidence, lmao I'm interested to see if you'll have the same "lose a pokemon as soon as you get it" luck that Silph did for the majority of this challenge.

[@NuzlockeJoe]

We actually posted them at the exact same time. But yeah, I did lose plenty of Pokémon fairly quickly here

[@troywardjr1216]

reformation day is my favorite holiday also on october 31st 1517 was the start.

[@chriswhite1059]

Klefki has prankster which is why you were outsped

[@NuzlockeJoe]

That makes a lot of sense! I didn’t even realize that. Thanks

[@airimee]

?? How did you get to the graveyard before even fighting illima?

[@NuzlockeJoe]

I didn’t. By performing a “séance” AKA, cheating, I got him early or else I never would have beaten the teacher

[@Lyonsblood]

You can't get to the cemetery before the trainer school? So how did you catch the Litwick?

[@NuzlockeJoe]

I cheated. There was no way I could win with just my starter, so I cheated to get him just a bit early

[@Lyonsblood]

@@NuzlockeJoe I realised this too late 😂

[@jolof6270]

Wait.. So Bruce Willis wasn't the ghost after all? I mean, he never died.. Anyway, great nuzlocke!

[@NuzlockeJoe]

That was the twist, he wasn’t a ghost all along!

[@LockonXDynams]

Klefkey has the prankster ability which gives priority to status moves

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Yeah I totally spaced that. That battle could have gone way worse

[@Giga-lemesh]

Ah yes, ribom_bee_ the butterfly

[@beymonboy1336]

Klefki has prankster which give status moves like thunder wave +1 priority

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Yeah I realized that… after people told me why. I totally should have planned better there

[@thebrentist5403]

Koala with the w upside down... what

[@NuzlockeJoe]

I’d you spell koala wrong, like kowala, then just turn the w upside down. It was just a lil joke

[@amelienasu4364]

If you wanted a treventant for free you get one at the graveyard and trade yours at the Pokémon center where you can restore fossils

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Oh, well maybe next time!

[@harbour08]

If your mon evolves into the monotype you're doing later on, i dont mind you using it

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Yeah I feel that that’s a solid way to do it

[@Dragonslayer_911]

I love your Videos

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Thanks!

[@codybarton6332]

Liked on the shameless plug!

[@thesneakergaming7667]

Why did you use butterfree

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Because his ability, compound eyes, make it more likely for wild Pokémon to hold items. So I could steal it

[@OpheliaDuskElla]

I mostly drawn to psychic fairy water fire i only like one ghost types

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Psychic, Fire, and ghosts tend to be my favorites. Fairy are good too, but don’t have the nostalgia for me .

[@matgr2890]

Steel type Pokemon Sword

[@TGRFIREYGT]

Nuzlocke Joe more like nuzlocke Joe mama

[@NuzlockeJoe]

And here I thought I escaped Joe mama jokes when I left elementary school lol

[@suckadoesstuff7095]

One thing I hate about the new games is it's damn hard to keep your levels as low as the leaders and trials even with a full team it's annoyin

[@NuzlockeJoe]

I know right? I avoided all the battles I could, but to no avail.

[@suckadoesstuff7095]

@Nuzlocke Joe there's points where I've had to turn off exp share as soon as I got it cause otherwise I'd way over level

[@NuzlockeJoe]

@@suckadoesstuff7095 at least in the games you can turn it off…

[@suckadoesstuff7095]

@Nuzlocke Joe thank God otherwise I don't think hardcore nuzlockes could be done

[@mickgorro]

Is it marrow-wok, or marrow-whack? 🤔

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Its whack. Turns out I had been saying it wrong my entire life! Whack makes a lot more sense too.

[@Bavio]

Was the Tony Hawk line a joke...? 😅

[@samanthalester0428]

You mean a double omni boost for ultra necrosma

[@samanthalester0428]

I mean necrozma

[@ProjectMATHEW]

But Koala doesn't have a W... Oh nevermind

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Yeah it doesn’t but it still sounds like koala

[@aspy23ajpw]

I shared; do a nuzlocke where u play pokemon black2 but you can only use grass types

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Well at the moment you’re the only request, so if no one else comments, you’ll win be default.

[@aspy23ajpw]

When will the new video come out?

[@LunaMyth-vb6pt]

I shared I request a Pokèmon ultra moon with only psychic types pls

[@miajohnson9249]

hau must take anti sad pills

[@marios7554]

I miss my 3ds

[@NuzlockeJoe]

They’re pretty great! I still have the blue one I started with many years ago.

[@XDemonXMewtwoX]

Why do you say Marrow WACK the way you do?

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Maybe because I’m half British? (True story). It’s actually probably because that’s how I’ve said it for decades, so I’ve stopped paying attention to how it spelled. Guess I’ve been wrong about it

[@XDemonXMewtwoX]

@@NuzlockeJoe Ah. I was just curious. Sorry if I kinda sounded like a dick.

[@Dragonslayer_911]

Hi how are you

[@miajohnson9249]

spoop

[@nikopiko9683]

"I died here but this doesn't count, and I'll use special moves, and I'll basically ignore nuzlocks rules but it's ok. I'll also level outside the cap"

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Ok, let me see if I can address these points: It’s very typical in a nuzlocke to not count deaths if they occur in places like the battle tower. That is the instance I’m assuming you’re talking about, so that is a very normal thing. Now I’ll grant that being outside the lvl cap is against hardcore rules. However, I’d invite you to try and stay under the lvl cap for the first totem if you only have two Pokémon on your team. I avoided every battle I could, used no rare candies or anything, and got too high. I don’t think it’s avoidable. As far as z moves, this was my first time in this gen so I wanted to use them. Big deal, it doesn’t go against nuzlocke rules so I’m not sure why you seem to care so much.

[@SwaxMain4u]

9:21 lmfao same
