For those confused about the final scene, this takes place before my Legends Arceus nuzlocke. There's your hint 👀

[@sheenaorten7441]

I was wondering with the little story from arceus's post game how you were going to incorporate Jaiden the Clefable. Honestly I'm loving the way you're adding so much story and lore to your pokemon teams. Add all of that plus the amazing artwork and it's a good night for me while I'm typing up my fanfiction. Keep up the amazing work moxie

[@ItsLavis]

I'm still confused

[@matthewshiers9038]

Ah, see I thought it was in reference to Jaiden's own fight against Cynthia and the whole split timeline thing. *Dialga (to Jaiden):* _"You're powers are needed in another timeline, young one... Your fate is what you make of it!"_

[@monkeybread4686]

that makes scence now thanks

[@karpeater]

@@ItsLavis moxie got another clefable in legends arceus (aka another jaiden). plus legends arceus is sinnoh in the past, so the last scene is implying dialga sent jaiden into the past to meet with moxie again. hope this helps!

I have to say, the friendship mechanic does succeed in making good stories, even if it is kinda broken

[@Tailstraw_xD]

I agree, especially in nuzlockes, it hits hard when they don't die because of it

[@keybladesrus]

Honestly, I like the friendship mechanic for nuzlockes. It hurts the challenge a bit, but the whole point of naming everything is to get more attached. It's cool seeing that attachment have a mechanical effect, and it can lead to some hype moments. I like watching nuzlockes that give the Pokemon personality rather than just treating them as game pieces, and the friendship mechanic feeds into that.

[@M4x_P0w3r]

@@keybladesrus Now do that, but also give friendship bonuses to gym leaders and the elite 4 to level the playing field. Then you'll see how funny it is to see how your calcs fail because the enemy pokemon just didn't feel like dying to a guaranteed KO

we all love sqoop in honor of that adorable thing i am currently doing a brilliant diamond nuzlock and caught a gastrodon named sqoop it is doing very well and a clefable with modest nature and magic guard named satan

[@scootermcpeanuts6699]

@@jld12er Long live squoop. I myself can also confirm Gastrodon is very epic because I have one on my team in Pokémon brick bronze named shaggymous and he was the absolute MVP of the champion fight. He took out a glimmora, a landorus, and a large chunk of a heatran’s health bar before going down. (It wasn’t a nuzlocke though so he’s fine.) Shaggymous also won me a PVP match where I was down 3-1 by miraculously dodging several attacks and taking out the opponents three remaining Pokémon all on his own. Absolute madlad of a slug.

[@CamKoudo]

I'm amazed how a single Metal Coat made Moxie pay 460$ just so he could get a Sizcor xD

Honestly, I would never have the guts to make risky choices like locking into metronome because of the moves it could give you (like tackle). Somehow, you still made a comeback. Love the content, and congrats on beating your first hardcore nuzlocke.

[@lordpillows762]

That's always the best way to play video-games tho, specially on challenges like this imo. Believe me, once you stop being afraid and start going wild at the right moments, everything becomes 10 times more epic and fun

[@jenniferpapillo3633]

Having moxie troll the chat and the chat troll back is both wholesome and hilarious. I will always stay up until 3 in the morning when he streams.

[@DefNotDemon]

I love how moxie basically just trolls chat like 24/7

[@Namiine]

Wow, Moxie, the quality of your videos just keeps getting better. LOVE the pacing and the lilttle sprite animation bits to explain stuff in this one. Super nice video, cant wait to see you play Scarlet and Violet :) if you're planning to stream, I'll be sure to watch you while I explore Paldea as well. Keep up the good work ♥

[@the_2nd_head719]

The triple crit Machop sums up most of my Nuzlocke attempts

I had the same thing happen to me in a nuzlocke of Pokémon Y. A random trainer had a brick break machoke and wiped out half my team with triple crit :(

[@typhlosion7872]

One thing I've recently started trying in my prep is setting up my pokemon to abuse their abilities outside of Guts, which I'd already done a ton. For instance, for the Silver fight in Victory Road on my HGSS hardcore nuzlocke, I got my Typhlosion down to 25% through Substitute use, or Blaze range. Gave it the Power Herb for a reason I will talk about when I summarize the battle. Started with Forretress and used 3 Spikes for a certain pokemon in the back. Then sacked the Primo egg Slugma, switched into Typhlosion, and started spamming Blaze boosted Flamethrower. Soon, his Feraligatr came in. After calcs, I knew I needed all 3 Spikes layers to kill Feraligatr with the Power Herb Solar Beam from Typhlosion, allowing me to sweep without losing any major team members

[@connorquig8607]

I remember when I did my first ever nuzlocke I was willing to try to finish. I got all the way to the elite four, and none of it was luck from the friendship mechanic. Most of the elite four except Burny who almost killed my Bubbles the Gastrodon. When it finally came to Cynthia though I finally lost a Pokémon, and it was my Bronzong named Coin who got mirror coated. When it finally died most of Cynthia’s team was easy. At the end there was one single time friendship mechanic may have helped but it was missing a minus 1 attack dragon claw so it wouldn’t matter. Cynthia still scary as heck though.
