Pokémon Platinum Hardcore Nuzlocke - Garchomp Only! (No items, No overleveling)

[@timeaftertime5328]

First, I believe in you Garchom... I mean "flygonHg"

[@Erritiguei1]

Ah yes, my favorite youtuber, Flygon Mercury

[@JoannaFalkowska]

@@Erritiguei1 he's like Freddie Mercury, but cooler

[@FIFAmusicMAN]

You know this is a FlygonHG video & not a GarchompFJ one because GarchompFJ wouldn’t miss a chance to call his Garchomp the GarChamp. So thus, this is 100% certifiably and authentically FlygonHG who is not and has never been locked in a basement by an opposing Dragon/Ground type pokemon themed actor

[@TheFattysporkz]

Garchomp with swords: 🙅‍♀️ Garchomp that dances: 🕺

[@Laprisu]

Garchomp dancing with swords: 😎🔥🕺

[@therealmichirukaiou]

“Garchomp…you can’t learn Dragon Dance.”

[@The2bGaming]

I'm pretty sure the only reason One-Armed Willy leans into it is because he's off balance

[@danielhenderson9719]

And also because the ONE time someone in the family defects, a member of the family tracks them down and kills them with a singular dragon claw. It’s hard to feel like you can speak up with The Family comes after their own like that.

[@Pineapplelikesart]

💀

[@blue_boo3171]

Me: "Wait, I thought this channel loved Flyg..." Garchomp: *pulls out swords*

[@Uh_khakis]

And starts dancing

[@echris10sen]

Understandable, have a nice day.

[@LebanonStorm]

I would never dare to cross Garchomp. Just because I don’t want him coming after me after having boosted with Swords Dance.

[@voltstorm2519]

Garchomp:"Wanna finish that sentence"

[@zes7215]

wrr

[@atomicspacemonky]

The most impressive part is that Flygon voluntarily said "no, I don't need a sponsor for this video" specifically for the sake of the bit

[@johnnyshortfor]

Can't wait for a future Bidoof-only run where in his darkest despairing moments, FlygonHG is stunned to see a garchomp emerge to repay a favor to House Doof from a time since forgotten (and, in FlygonHG's experience, never actually happened in the first place...?)

[@Flynnisthename]

Please Dr. HG it would be so funny

[@voilet-the-non-violet-vulpix]

That would be an incredibly funny callback

[@parmesansnorlax7293]

Time for a BidoofDK arc?

[@wanderingbardgaming]

What do you mean? Obviously this Nuzlocke was done by FlygonHG. It couldn’t possibly have been anyone else (definitely not that nerd GarchompFJ)

[@VaellinTheBard]

"New Garchomp Who Dis" made me laugh harder than I shouldve

[@G_K-m2o]

I love how he rambled about One armed Willy while Garchomp killed everything in sight 😂

[@NicolaShelton-h5k]

I know that's the reason I love the Lucian battle

[@PedroHenrique-mk5zi]

Sure, winning with your favorites is cool, but winning with your unfavorites is even better. Kinda of a friendship forged by fire.

[@FlygonkingVGC]

True

[@patricialock1862]

Unfavorites? You heard it from FlygonHG himself Garchomp is his favorite

[@JoannaFalkowska]

Wolfey: *Incineroar flashbacks*

[@tastychapstick2213]

Winning with your unfavorites is easy when your unfavorites are as good as Garchomp

[@zes7215]

no such thing as forge or like or favour or unfavour or friend x or for or etc

[@jorsinz5570]

9/10, was expecting cynthia to have flygon instead of garchomp at the end and kill the chomp

[@ccSgosi]

Love the detail of "Matti" in quotation marks 😂 Nice job, "FlygonHG" 😉

[@madanotap6492]

I see nothing suspicious about this at all! flygonHG's favourite Pokémon garchomp will surely do well in this perfectly normal nuzlocke!

[@insertuncreativepun3573]

You fool GarchompFJ, your ruse was near masterful. but there was one glaring flaw that gave your machinations away..... The lack of a Squarespace sponsorship.

[@Boltofbrilliance122]

GarchompFJ

[@division6193]

It was actually all a massive ploy to set up for a Squarespace sponsorship in a future video due to locking him in a square space

[@Zorgdub]

I love youtubers who can make a good April's Fools joke that's still a great video worth watching on its own.

[@justarandoyouknow]

Kinda surprised GarchompFJ didn’t pop up in the video to back up Flygon’s words. You’d think he’d love this run enough to pop up at least once.

[@athath2010]

I half-expected "FlygonHG" to pronounce Aaron correctly (or in a different, also incorrect way) as a subtle nod to him being an impostor.

[@wanderingbardgaming]

“People die and Garchomp keeps dancing”-Tidus

[@stick3448]

Wow! I love Garchomp and Garchomp is the best Dragon/Ground type! My wife and kids who are definitely here and definitely not taken hostage in House Gar completely agree too!

[@Altamyr]

Good to see "Matti" trying to broaden his horizons in this one. That's what Nuzlocking is all about

[@Shadrogon]

I love that even in the Garchomp-only run, in the first real fight where luck was involved, Dr. HG lost his Garchomp AGAIN! The curse prevails!

[@Ondas563]

I'm glad that flygonhg has seen the light and acknowledged the true best ground/dragon pokemon. Very happy to know that flygonhg definitely wasn't kidnapped and replaced by anyone and that these are his true opinions.

[@AboveAvgJoe14]

The OT being "Matti" is a cherry on top

[@whisp1143]

If you listen closely, you can hear the muffled screams of FlygonHG

[@DodgyDentist93]

Perhaps the most SUS video on the channel. Dare I say the perfect April Fools Day video.

[@San-lh8us]

ohhh, that's why it came out today! i havent made the conection until i read your comment

[@HoneyStarfall]

the JUUUUST so slightly off catch phrase at the end was so perfect!! And I loved the dancing scene, and the rant about one armed willy!! It made the video and the whole challenge soooo much more engaging!! You put so much energy and effort even into an April fools run!! Thanks for your inspiring content, Flygon!! (or should I say...GarchompFJ?)

[@Umbramus]

So glad you've finally come around to Garchomp, FlygonHG! I'm sure GarchompFJ will be thrilled you did a nuzlocke with his favorite pokemon!

[@atomicpunk2360]

Crazy how Garchomp by itself had an easier time than other Nuzlockes that use all available Pokémon of a type where you might even have teams of six 😳

[@Wynntersenk6017]

The one armed Willy rant in the middle is just why flygon hg is better at unhinged nuzlockes than others

[@Pearl_Blossom]

This may sound strange, but I've got a sneaking suspicion that this isn't FlygonHG, but ZygardeXY in disguise

[@TigeriPlaysGames]

yours are some of the only april fools videos i'll watch, they're actually just as entertaining as usual with a silly premise instead of how most i see today are just bad or annoying on purpose

[@Keydicken]

Oh boy, a new FlygonHG video! Surely our beloved content creator will not be sneakily replaced by his archrival, GarchompFG! That would be quite the ridiculous jape!

[@fruitpunchsamuraidavid]

This is the most authentically "Flygon HG" content EVER!

[@lanceams483]

I'm surprised GarchompFJ never made an appearance for the video, he'd be over the moon to hear the real genuine FlygonHG say Garchomp is amazing.

[@AndyD773]

You know, when I didn’t see a FlygonHG video over the weekend, I wondered if perhaps he had been kidnapped by his nemesis GarchompFJ in a diabolical power grab. Glad to see I had nothing to worry about!

[@PeoBite]

I love this totally non April fools prank and actually great video that had a smile on my face the whole time

[@samuelspindawin2875]

Oh boy I love watching my favorite KZbinr, “FlygonHG”

[@Shan_Troker]

Matti once again proving he's the king of Nuzlocke youtube by making April Fool videos that are actually funny

[@SpicyMango7]

I just barely started this video, and here I am going through and liking comments like I know what’s up 🤣

[@fawnpetal]

Wow! What a typical FlygonHG video that I am so excited to watch! Nothing suspicious afoot here!

[@qwertyqwertsalot]

Wow I wasn't expecting a Garchom- I mean FlygonHG video today

[@decidueye98]

My poetic self whenever I want to call a move: "Our unwavering resolves strengthen our blades - Garchomp, use Swords Dance!" "Shake the land in our fury - Garchomp, use Earthquake!" "The clouds swell with our draconic energy - Garchomp, use Draco Meteor!" FlygonHG, the possibilities are endless 😅

[@juanig4198]

This feels like the darkest dungeon narrator

[@decidueye98]

@@juanig4198 Exactly!

[@orcinusrex]

Missed opportunity to say Garchomp can dance if he wants to. He left his friends behind...

[@IrishGirlBragh]

FlygonHG? More like FlyGONEHG. Right? Right? ... i'll see myself out

[@thpolar3887]

Hold up, I'm coming with you, that was good.

[@alexy5611]

Count me in too

[@San-lh8us]

get out. ALL OF YOU!! GET! OUT!!!

[@silver_was_found]

Wait, don't go, I'm coming too lol

[@Chomta]

Oma gad hell naw what the haillll... Gett outtt

[@FluffiestWalrus]

Such a great video! I love that was probably quicker to make and lower effort but the creativity is just as on point as any other video. The quality here is absolutely top notch

[@RobTibbetts92]

Finally! This is the kind of content I subbed for - thanks Garchomp FJ 🎉

[@JuniperLea]

Cool video Gar, er, FlygonHG, and congrats on silencing the false prophet! And don't feel bad asking Willy about it, I'm sure he'll understand.

[@fathermother8231]

I was so caught off guard when he called Quagsire a heathenous wretch I laughed too hard at that

[@Drxxyt]

hes gone off the deep end

[@Planetthegreat]

"did you hear they found GarchompFJ dead? Yeah, he was stabbed with a dancing guy with a sword screaming about revenge and that Flygon is supreme. Weird stuff."

[@ankxsillencer5657]

Every April fools I hope for an X/Y nuzlocke that is all paper cutouts except for the champion fight

[@pokadotplot]

GarchompFJ! What a great vid for April 1.

[@kimitodemonboi6925]

Man, what a completely normal nuzlocke video and I'm sure nothing bad happened at all!

[@silvercaroseul4679]

What a treat! Not only a fun playthrough with grwat humor- but long lost Garchomp FJ lore! Thank you for posting 'Flygon HG'

[@blackrapier713]

Glad to see FlygonHG has fully accepted the superiority of Garchomp and how it's objectively cooler and better than Flygon in virtually every regard

[@Nuclearstomp]

I'd never considered that Garchomp may be objectively superior to Flygon in all ways. Thank you FlygonHG for enlightening me.

[@TheSandFoxx]

The FlygonHG Cinematic Universe is an amazing thing

[@MEGalomaniac6829]

This might just be my favorite video to date!! Long live GarchompFJ! 😂😂😂

[@ashwinivashishtha8575]

Garchomp is my favourite Pokemon. This is not an April Fools joke, I really do like Garchomp

[@sammy0493]

Nah this is definitely GarchompFJ video idea 😂😂😂

[@aguywithsocks]

whooosh

[@brettkelly6950]

Straight over the head

[@Pokeonrocks5]

This storytelling is honestly NEXT LEVEL. SO CREATIVE! love this!

[@amberkulp7401]

I wish Cynthia had a Flygon in the back for a REAL final showdown

[@swampert564]

All glory to House Gar! I love how high effort even the complete piss-take videos are on this channel.

[@danielhale1]

I loved the "New Garchomp who dis?". Congrats on putting old rivalries behind you and finally giving glory to Garchomp. This is a very legit-feeling video! (when do I get paid to say this?)

[@Nylariel]

So sad GarchompFJ missed this run. He would have loved it.

[@beastistaplayspokemon8313]

GarchompFG was so evil that they didn't even do an ad for the video. That monster!

[@ryanburgess7804]

the commentary in this video had me laughing the entire time

[@noodlespoo]

As we've clearly seen, Garchomp's true power cap is not even the 3rd badge. Because in a Nuzlocke, if a Pokémon faints, it's dead forever. So everything after that must've been GarchompFJ's fever dream.

[@SeveralGhost]

Great concept on top of being a meme

[@corhydrae3238]

Missed opportunity to replace Cynthia with a custom FlygonHG sprite with Flygon as the ace.

[@grittykitty24]

What a great video to start off the month of April, Nothing suspicious about this one at all! Garchomp is the mvp

[@jodawoe]

I thought the final battle was going to be against Flygon, or at the very least Flygon would replace Cynthia’s garchomp…

[@Khlaylav]

Excellent video as always, GarchompF-I mean, FlygonHG.

[@kitoesa4000]

Oh boy so glad to watch a video by my favorite nuzlocker FlugonHG, hope nothing is going wrong for him

[@thejuic3b0i64]

“The Demon of Babylon Disguises Himself With the Coat of the Righteous” - GarchompFJ

[@croatiancowboy]

Oh no, his villain arc has hit its climax. All that's missing is changing the channel name to GarchompFJ!

[@San-lh8us]

there is also that guy that garchompFJ wanted to bail out of prison, i wonder how is that working

[@jams.persona2368]

The beginning was beautiful

[@S3cr3t_Qw1rtz]

Nice job "FlygonHG"!

[@MikeBrice-s4t]

New flygon video ! Letsss goooo

[@toe6228]

the mumbling at 16:23 got me lol

[@SparkstarScope]

Wow, FlygonHG, that was a really fun run to watch! The way you absolutely obliterated the early game with Dragon Rage, then shred your way through the rest using a combination of dancing, quaking and clawing left me in awe. This fast power trip of a run was much more engaging than the slow, gimmicky garbage you release, like "babies only'. I mean who the fuck cares about babies, I'm here for CONTENT. And CONTENT is watching an overpowered land shark trailblaze through a doomed region full of non-believers and filthy mythology. I'm particularly glad that you finally managed to accept the superior, Mega Evolution-having option over the non-Mega pile of crap that is Flygon. Took you long enough, but I'm happy for you. Here's to a year of better and more engaging content! ❤

[@moegoth4905]

Genuinely one of the best storytellers on KZbin, you never miss on these videos😂

[@TheobaldLeonhart]

Thankfully (for me), I was able to quickly figure out the "joke". And actually enjoy an April 1st video

[@francescomalguzzi2123]

This video cracked me up more than I'd like to admit Great job my man, keep it up!

[@TheFootballGuy88]

The run was impressive but the fact you managed to cut down an entire pokemon game down to a 16 minute video is even more impressive

[@paulelderson934]

When 95% of the content is clicking earthquake, it's pretty easy to trim the footage. Go Garchomp!

[@lelis8344]

Fresh and fun. Kudos!

[@maroonraj]

Looking forward to some ZygardeAZ representation next year

[@chada4806]

Wow, what a beautiful ode to the best dragon/ground type. Im so glad flyghonHG agrees!

[@viridiansexperimentchannel711]

I had a viceral, physical reaction to dragon clawing Togekiss for a split second

[@beepboop0428]

"Matti", huh? We all know your secrets.

[@izme1000]

One-armed Willy has to lean into it. His center of balance is thrown off now.

[@Moooork]

The quotations on the OT are a nice touch lol Also, you should consider having your move set on the screen somewhere.

[@captainbenutzername]

Something is off with this one... Wait a second! Garchomp FJ didn't try to steal the add segway! 😮

[@francescomoretti934]

Can’t wait for the Zygarde only challenge in Pokémon X or Y

[@br0k3n_url]

surely next april 1st flygon gets kidnapped again- i mean surely next april 1st flygon does that run completely willingly since its so close to legends za!! :) haha

[@tobystevens1171]

Not related to this video, but I humbly request a sequel to spheal team six, "Bravo team Bidoof". Ps garchomp is the cooler dragon/ground

[@Wackamole56]

Outstanding work

[@zeldapadawan5634]

Lets go! I have been hoping for a garchomp fj nuzlocke!

[@thatguymcgee5982]

Time to become the garchamp

[@alexmcclain93]

This entire video, concept, and execution are absolutely S Tier 😂

[@peter_schomus]

I love how it starts as Garchomp and not lil Gibby

[@Zorgdub]

That was harder than I was expecting it to be.
