Nostalgic moment right here. His first nuzlocke was in sinnoh with ground types, and I hope you can beat it too now. And the garchomp in the cover, shows us that some things never change, like axl's voice acting

[@BrotherHood-xh9sg]

Yeah, I wiped. The speed difference was a problem for me. I foolishly let my Gengar die against the Alakazem because I set up and thought I could outspeed at 200+ speed. So my garchomp got outsped and killed by hers and nothing in my team could at that point outspeed or survive her monster.

Unfortunately you can only get it post game which is absolutely ridiculous this game should have just used platinums dex instead

Quagsire is the energy everyone should have for life. Always happy, even when murdering someone with an earthquake.

In my original Platinum playthrough I got stalemated with my Torterra against Fantina’s Mismagius. I couldn’t hurt it with anything but Leech Seed and it couldn’t damage me more than Leech Seed healed. Seeing the Torterra vs. Mismagius here gave me genuine shivers.

In the hype for the new sinnoh games, how about a run with only pokemon with original typings? That gives you the choice of two starters, the early game rodent, the nidos, crobat, and a lot of other cool ones.

Almost done watching all the nuzlocke challenges and to be honest I got inspired by the videos that I decided to nuzlocke a Pokémon game but I am trying to see which one is the easiest to go at it as a first timer. Keep up the videos, they are great

[@BigHeadDeadass]

Go with water, lots of Pokemon to choose from, few weaknesses and water types are known to be bulky and have decent STAB moves and good secondary types

[@cptk3916]

Pretty nice. Wish I new Gligar was available when I did my ground nuzlocke. Gardenia can also be completely taken down with sand cloack Wormadam. I didn't know Gligar was available so I allowed myself to train a Burmy at that point, which had me slathering honey trees for a week to get it...

[@ItsJustTanner-]

Just discovered you, now got a new nuzlocker to watch!

[@enochshen4741]

Nice video ! One badge per counter might be too easy… considering you can grind a lot of very good Pokémon in the underground. Well ground type is generally very strong too

[@arthur-ny5rf]

I did a ground type one too but didnt even think of using garchomp, ironically both my friends who didnt do any particular challenge used a garchomp on their team

[@Deathclaw6364]

Nice btw garchomp was mvp at least at the end and actually I think it balances itself out as you need decent skill to get far enough to pick up the gibble and grind it up

EXP grinding is a whole lot easier than the original DP thanks to the Grand Underground, though.
