Pokémon Platinum Hardcore Nuzlocke But I Can Only Use ROCK Types!!

[@bonnie_158]

When onix is one of your only options you know it’s gonna be a hard play through

[@Twig387]

Boy you have no idea haha.. I sat for so long trying to figure out how to beat Gardenia but Onix did his job well gotta say

[@notyourordinarygamer6309]

Lol

So ironic that he was the only one that died

[@ItsFireTiger]

Well if you're Bruno you can get to be an elite 4 member with and Onix amongst your fighting team

[@jamescarstairs3384]

Great job showcasing a Pokémon (and a Type, too) that is often overlooked and underestimated. In competitive Rampardos is pretty mediocre due to its speed and defenses but you have proven it works pretty well on a playthrough. Keep up the good work!

[@thefoodyscarecrow7391]

until you pass +6 defence, special defence and speed wisjsmsmzmsmskzmkaskzkkaakakka dunno how youd do that tho l0l

[@Twig387]

Thanks so much! You’re absolutely right hava, all of these pokémon are RU at best, but I loved using them, especially Rampardos and Rhyperior since they’re very cool pokémon but just don’t get used that much because of their poor speed/special defenses

[@goomba9956]

Theme is mountain's and cool vid! I have never seen this type before, especially in platinum. Should be difficult, I haven't finished yet.

[@Twig387]

Thanks! It was:D

[@Sparkle_the_real_one3906]

I love turtwig

[@1010220me]

Great video as always! As for the set-up moves, I feel like that's part of the challenge, dealing with whatever hand you have to deal with. You saw what they were weak and strong with, and planned accordingly. I don't think they should be banned on something like this, as it's much more possible to do these challenges and a larger variety.

[@Twig387]

Exactly, I agree. It’s just that if it’s boring to watch for you guys then definitely let me know!

[@sven3316]

The first Rock type nuzlocke I've seen, great video!

[@Twig387]

Thank you! It’s an underrated type but a frail one for sure!

[@theredshyguy311]

Great job twig this was a great one! Also I love all of the darkraitv slander.

[@Twig387]

Ahaha he deserves it😎😤 Thanks a lot tho!

[@DracoMetorHD]

letS GO! Big thanks to you, your videos ease my anxiety so I can sleep better and then I can watch them again in the morning :3 keep it up chief!

[@Twig387]

That’s so good to hear!! Glad they help you:D💚 More to come soon😎

[@connorstoltzfoos584]

This is awesome, love catching the small edits like “phrasing” and whatnot, keep doing your thing man 👍👍👍

[@Twig387]

Hahah glad you enjoy them! I’ll keep doing it😎💚

[@antonytheriault6252]

A pokemon conquest run with only grass or water types could be pretty cool (we need more of this hidden gem of a ds game)

[@Twig387]

You’re right, I wish I could pump out these videos faster so I could get back to that amazing game😣

[@greenkazuya7845]

Honestly a vs series of that would be sick too

[@noodle3909]

This was such a cool run platinum is probably my favourite pokemon game so its good to see a type being used you don't see in these games very much keep it up :)

[@Twig387]

Such a good game! and thanks so much, glad u liked:D

[@witch7804]

congrats on 4k subscribers! loving the content!

[@Twig387]

Thanks so much for getting me there🥰

[@Rhyzilla]

Wow, Rampardos hyper carry for sure, but nice to see Sudowoodo get used proactively

[@Twig387]

Oh yeah definitely. All of these pokémon are RU at best. I loved using Rampardos and Rhyperior though since they’re very cool pokémon but just don’t get used that much because of their poor speed/special defenses

[@auzzieankai8354]

Such a great run!! One of the best I’ve ever seen fr

[@vedantgala7384]

So basically this is what would happen to roark if Riley became gym leader

[@Twig387]

More or less, yes

[@choklat4606]

Amazing video as always! Also mountains as nicknames fits rock types really well Edit:16:07 if you could tell what music that was that would really nice

[@Twig387]

Thank you!! Also the music is the sun and moon variant of the Cyrus theme!

That’s awesome! Thanks so much!!

I LOVE YOU TWIG YOU'RE GENUINELY MY FAVORITE KZbinR AND I WISH YOU WERE MORE WIDELY RECOGNIZED AS A GOD

[@Twig387]

THANKS SO MUCH🥰💚 Appreciate u

[@odell4709]

Hey Twig! Love the content keep it going! Could I suggests some features for future nuzlockes? If you're reading this, for future nuzlockes could you add a feature that slides the ability & nature of the Pokemon you caught with a brief description? To me this makes me more engaged in the video. You could also do it for Pokemon moves, mainly because not everyone plays Pokemon or have deep ties to it. Oh and one more thing, for the sprite or GUI of the Pokemon you caught and place at the bottom of the screen is it possible for them to be the 3D model? Once again its sort of an engagement thing and having the sprite in 3D or animated makes me more engage and it would probably make others engaged as well.

[@Twig387]

Thanks so much! Not sure what you meant by the slide thing? I already briefly analyze each pokémon’s nature and ability if they’re significant to the gameplay but you probably mean something different? And for the animated pokémon, I kinda feel like they’d be distracting in a way? Maybe not?

[@odell4709]

@@Twig387 hey twig yeah it was something different, though I might be a better idea to show you a example. Not sure if you know of the KZbin that goes by Keegan J but he does nuzlocke videos as well and he incorporates the concept/idea mentioned. Hope this helps!

[@babyhands1742]

Eyyy nice run! Feels bad that onix or i guess steelix couldn't have made it through to the end ;-;

[@Twig387]

Thanks! Couldn’t have evolved him since steelix isn’t a rock type so I think it was alright to sack him even if it sounds harsh😓

[@ΘοδωρήςΑβραμπος]

As soon as I see your upload I drop anything I do and enjoy your vid 👻 keep them coming man 🤩

I was one of ur 20 first subscribers and u are good and I say u are gonna make the 10k marge in like not long. And also for the challenge that I give u is to nuzlocke whatever pokemon game with only pokemon that begin with the letter T,u know where the T comes from

[@Twig387]

Ooh I’d get to use turtwig and tyrannitar, two of my favorite pokemon!

[@brianfelty5918]

I think a pokemon run with a particular species would be cool, like only cat pokemon or dog pokemon :)

[@Twig387]

That could be cool!

[@gaia9020]

Turtles, Snakes, Frogs there are so many to choose from, so many videos that possibly could be made :D

[@Hirdx15]

I'm actually playing Ultramoon only birds rn and it's kinda fun

[@sheepishwarlord9931]

Such a great run! Also, your pokemon were named after mountains

[@Twig387]

Thanks!! And yes exactly!

[@tristandejonge1968]

I just finished a clay sculpture of Turtwig for my little brother before I saw your video. What a coincidence!

[@Twig387]

Oh no way! You have good taste in pokémon then😌

[@hcrazyotrain6109]

Awesome video again and I’m guessing naming Pokémon after mountains ?

[@Twig387]

You would be correct!

[@wolftoadi]

First off i love your videos keep it going! My idea: Start by using a random Letter generator and then if for example "P" comes out you can only use pokemon starting with P (which admittedly will be pretty random but i think it would be nice)

[@wolftoadi]

Also for those challenges in general you could use a randomizer to change the starters into something that is fitting

[@Twig387]

I like the idea of using a random number generator to find pokemon! I’ll write that down

[@oxy3405]

Another Banger! Bro you’re on fire

Thank you, glad you enjoyed!

Between gardenia and Melina, you had so much run breaker. Huge GG to you ^^

[@Twig387]

Thank you😎

[@ethanrains718]

Why is rampardos so underrated, I can understand he’s slow but with the right move set he’s pretty good also that 165 attack stat helps out a crap ton

[@theway289]

that's only in game. For wifi battles, he gets clapped with priority moves, not to mention he's only good when he can set up. Speed is just too important.

[@osirisavra1301]

[@_SodaZ]

I don't think i've ever seen a pokemon sweeping Cynthia's team, impressive run dude!

[@gabrielmainville7359]

At 6:04, on your 2nd run, when you caught your Geodude, there was a pokeball sign under her name, meaning that you have already caught one in that run... I was just wondering how it was possible because of the species and dupes clauses?...

[@barbatanas7679]

He failed multiple times. Geodude was first female and then there was a male, right at the beggining vs Rowark for instance.... Bad nuzlocke

[@djdrizzy9139]

Is Torterra your favorite Pokémon? He's mine! I'd like to see you use him in a challenge run. Perhaps a Grass only run? It's difficult, but not impossible!

I don’t think setup moves should be banned as a whole, just certain ones. Rock polish and sandstorm, no problem, but, for example, a dragon dancing gyarados is pretty much in killable and can OHKO just about every elite four members mons. That’s enough rambling. Great video!!
