Pokémon Heartgold Hardcore Nuzlocke But I Can Only Use SHINY Pokémon!!

Pokémon Heartgold Hardcore Nuzlocke But I Can Only Use SHINY Pokémon!!
Hi everyone! In this video I'll be attempting a hardcore nuzlocke using only shiny Pokémon.
Rules for this run:
- If a pokémon faints, it cannot be used anymore and must be boxed for the entire run.
- Set mode must be turned on.
- No in-battle items, such as potions or revives, are allowed. Held items are okay.
- I can only catch the first shiny encounter per route.
- No leveling past the following gym leader’s ace pokémon.
- Caught Pokémon are given nicknames.
-Species clause.

The theme was crystals. It was hard and at first as they were all pokemon games but you gave it away when you named ratata tiger's eye

Haha yeah I realized, so I had to switch things up😅

I very much liked the increased shiny chance to the lvl where it takes a few hours, on average, to get an encounter. Makes it a conscious choice at which routes you want to try and get a pokemon :D Could make it a factor 2 higher (but then maybe ban Gyarados because he's OP)

Idk, but he was quite the pushover…🤨 And rude

[@od1401]

It's cool when people do normal odds shiny runs but likewise it's no big deal when they don't. Best to state the odds upfront though so everyone knows the score, whether it's in 8200, 4100, 2050, 1025, 512, 256 etc.

[@bluedawgo]

I love Johto, but oh my god, the level cap sucks. I’d never attempt a hardcore Nuzlocke on this game. Props to you, and amazing content

[@Twig387]

I couldn’t agree more! I have so many fond memories of this game but the weird level curve among other things really make nuzlocking the game super tedious lol

[@DigiRangerScott]

The fact that the team bar was so inconsistently updated bothered me greatly😅

I found a shiny totodile in less than 15 soft resets.. but I found it during my shiny treecko hunt in Omega ruby which drove me insane, I spent a month and a half of constantly hunting it everyday to find it.

[@tuxpengu9138]

Really sweet vid if anyone else wants to try this run I recommend the cute charm glitch, it’s a little complicated but can be done legitimately on a ds cart and gives much better shiny odds (around 1/4 for female Pokémon.)

[@Twig387]

Haha yep wouldn’t recommend doing this challenge casually unless the odds are higher unless one doesn’t mind sitting for hours on end:)

[@primallegends001]

I have heard about that glitch, and it honestly depends on what gender Pokémon you are looking for. The odds are the same for each (if I'm not mistaken) so you could, in theory, go for specific evolution paths ahead of time like Vespiquen, Gallade, Wormadam/Mothim, or Froslass in DPPt and the Nidoran lines in HGSS

[@blitz-o-byte]

Actually, you lock yourself to one singular gender by using cute charm If you have a male lead you'll only get female shinies (if you get males it's likely full odds)

[@jack9gaming416]

[@bigowl2542]

I liked this video good content. My advice would be to add some suspense in the close moments. When emeralds nearly died in the first gym fight you told us he survived the gust before he’d even been hit. If you delay it we can see the action and feel the suspense better. Always hard on a post commentary but something to think about. Keep up the hard work bro
