I used a murkrow in an alpha sapphire nuzlocke. It survived until the end and killed a mega gallade and a salamence. Foul play is no joke

[@ZekoNeko12]

I love how flygon gives the mons personalities. It really makes the nuzlocke feel like a story and like the original concept/webcomic

[@metapowm4881]

I mean giving everyone the backstory and characteristics of famous characters created by one of the most acclaimed authors of all time isn't exactly groundbreaking stuff

[@SIRDIXON-SD9223]

It's that, the editing, the humor, the naming conventions, and such is WHY Flygon Hg is THE nuzlocke king.

@@Pokeonrocks5 I mean I can't speak about every video he has done but this one for example is just The Losers Club from Stephen King's IT. Yeah the editing, narration, and visuals are well done and take a lot of work but I find it funny how many people are praising the backstory and characters when he just took them from a super popular piece of media

[@garchompgamer1874]

14:41 Ngl I was literally thinking abt that moment that ended Alpharad’s entire career

[@mahapatrasohamm]

Same. Also did he sack onix on purpose to make that meme, because if he did, that was golden and sad.

Gotta say Flygon, your production quality has gotten so good from where you started. This video made me crack a smile wider than I have in a while. Keep up the great work.

[@lspuria8440]

I saw the title and thought that losers meant using Pokemon that have tragically died in your nuzlockes. Like in all star team as tribute to your past nuzlokes. I think this could be a hype idea.

MVPs all around this playthrough. So many clutch victories and performances, the highlights being Bill and Mike. One of the best "loser" playthroughs yet. Can't wait for the next run where some of these heroes might return.

[@LAZERAK47V2]

Bro, that fight against It was absolutely tragic. Your rival had SO much bullshit going his way with hax and sleep turns. The Losers got robbed of the victory they deserved.

[@doublez304]

Dude the overall quality of your videos in the past year are insane. No exaggeration my favorite youtuber

The most heartbreaking part of this run is that Eddie never got his popsicle

Giving the Pokémon backstories makes deaths feel tragic. Really good detail!

[@Th3dra]

When the backstories are just straight from IT, along with the names, the losers club😂😂(loved the references though)

[@newrallyxeviousgamer]

Porygon is underrated. He may be a loser (according to this challenge) but Porygon’s huge coverage and access to Recover says otherwise.

[@swampert564]

This might be the best naming theme that a Nuzlocke has used.

[@theownerofthisaccount2521]

Due to using a Lickilicky in a BDSP nuzlocke(originally named Hyena, now affectionately called Exodia due to her phenomenal work during the Nuzlocke with Focus Punch of all moves. She even took out five of Cynthia’s six Pokémon. I would later buy a plush Lickilicky toy and now have the goal to find a shiny one in one of the games. Though that Nuzlocke did get me to appreciate several Pokémon I overlooked like Cherrim or Pachirisu) and having it become one of my favorite Pokémon, I have a great appreciation towards Likitung as well. Haven’t watched the video yet but hoping the lil guy gets to shine as well

[@azsazazsa]

Between one of the Boston pokemon being named Katya and the Ru joke in this video, I’m convinced (and thrilled) that either FlygonHG or someone in his household is a drag race fan. Another reason for him to be your favourite PokeTuber onto the pile!

[@OverratedSage]

I remember getting so excited because my Marowak could just sweep Agatha's poison types with STAB Earthquake, but then her Gengar just laughed and said "We all Levitate down here"

[@missmara4980]

Not gonna lie, this is one of your best videos yet. The storytelling, the cameo, poor Ben -- this was so entertaining to watch!

[@waterierStone]

Switching to the onix for a meme was great. Ice punch is the most damage even through a resistance because the other option is thrash.

[@thefirespecialist9007]

This man REALLY lost an Onix to Lorelie's Jynx! We live in a world where Jynx is now 2-0 against Onix's. 😂😂😂

[@MissOnana]

It's actually 3-0. Flygon, Alpharad, AND Captain Kidd have ALL lost an Onix that exact same way.

[@simonebaieri3421]

Bruh what misplays, you were incredibly unlucky: egg bomb and hydro pump never missed, you got burned twice and a million other things I am likely forgetting. Please make this into a series I want to see it with every gen!!!

[@feedback1204]

I really like the story beats of your runs. And the characterisations of your Pokémon. You even got me to be a nicer friend to the people I hold close by characterising one of your garados as the wholesome friend, who'll just write you out of the blue and say that they love you. So thank Flygon, because of you my friends now get more affirmation and attention from me :) I don't even mind your ad segments, you make the transition as seamless as can be expected with Pokémon on the one side and earbuds on the other. Just a shame that raycons are overpriced and don't sound good. They have no tasteful dynamic whatsoever, just bass heavy. What I wanted to say is: I hope you continue to transform your nuzlocks into real stories and your Pokémon into real characters with dynamics in between them. This is the biggest part of what differentiates your nuzlocks from many others. Keep it up, I'll be here to watch you grow :)

[@MayMay-ub9nm]

That final battle left me speechless and also very sad, but it was quite the ride, great video ❤
