Pokémon Platinum Hardcore Nuzlocke - Ground Types Only! (No items, no overleveling)

[@codygurnick6405]

I got so hype after the Geodude and Onix encounters because it guaranteed Gible. Then I wondered, "Will Flygon be petty enough to not use the best mon in the game?" Then then calling Gabite a final evolution confirmed it.

[@madanotap6492]

Will never get over the fact that flygon always refers to poppy as a puppy regardless of how old she actually is 😂

[@Fanimati0n]

What dog owner doesn't?

[@caitlin4598]

My dog is 10 years old. He's a puppy. I don't make the rules.

[@Mastattak]

that's the absolute basis for owning a dog, not unique to him thankfully! Your dog could be 25 years old and it'd still be the tiniest puppy there is

[@CyberchaoX]

Yeah. There's another streamer I watch who always has a "puppy cam" on. When she started the puppy cam, her puppy was actually a puppy, but that was like 6 or 7 years ago.

[@thomashollingshead015]

I’m the exact same way with my cats. They will always be kittens in my eyes.

[@hi_shay]

toby getting nuked to death's door & his immediate response is "man i'm going to bed" is iconic actually

[@PheonixFire92946]

I would like to see a video of Flygon unhinged or out of context. Just a compilation of clips of Flygon's most unhinged comments like "Byron is a shovel with a human shaped tumor."

[@FIFAmusicMAN]

Yes yes absolutely yes

[@clawtooth35]

he's even MORE unhinged on Stream

[@raindroproses1107]

"It's nothing ol' One-Ball HG couldn't handle."

[@karringtond9530]

Yes please

[@Ouroboros8888]

Throwback to when Flygon said that Painkiller the Basculin wasn't bottom of the barrel because the barrel was up in space, and Painkiller was on Earth trying to pull open a push door

[@jamesbacon4177]

“She evolves into her final form, Gabite, at level 24” sent me 😂 The disrespect

[@ghostofyou9721]

Garchomp is overrated. I’m sitting here giggling like a damn child over the comments

[@emilymcelroy3124]

Angela's sweep of Gardenia makes me so happy. I love Burmy, always have, and I've always been on the backfoot to defend this little guy. Now I have Angela to point to when I talk about how Burmy can have use.

[@thecabbageman1]

I cleared my first platinum run with a trash cloak wormadam on my final team. They definitely deserve love.

[@lilithcloud6975]

I think it wouldve been hilarious if instead of evolving into Gabite, uncle Jimtendo made it so that Gible evolved into Vibrava

[@Damy-t4v]

Oh my god that would be glorious 😂

Shovel with a human shaped tumor is the sickest burn ever and this isn't even a fire run

Well, he buried Byron with that line, at least

[@Joeyp1208]

The burn came so out of nowhere I cackled with laughter like a maniac, waking up my poor little puppy!

[@ianpeters1980]

Me after Phyllis was named: "Oh! Like phyllite! He's doing rock puns! What an obscure one to start with" Me after Pam: "Man I don't recognize this, maybe he knows more rocks than I do?" Me after Angela: "Oh"

[@ianpeters1980]

AND LET ME BE CLEAR: I THOUGHT MICHAEL WAS A PUN ON MICA TOO

[@alexread6767]

Next Platinum run should answer the question "can you make Byron difficult?" Flying has Staraptor, Gyarados, and Gliscor, Poison has Tentacruel and Toxicroak, Bug has Heracross, Dark has Earthquake Drapion... I think Ghost, Rock, or Ice only would be difficult, and even then, Ghost would probably hard wall at Jupiter's Skuntank, Rock would have Probopass for Gardenia but then lose to Maylene and Wake, and Ice doesn't even have any encounters to use. Basically any fun monotype run has something to clown on Byron. There's gotta be some alternate ruleset like "no STAB" or "no moves over 60 BP" that actually works.

[@morgastic23]

Can you get Probopass before Gardenia? Nosepass is found in Mt Coronet but on like every floor except the first floor and I don't think you can go up or down stairs in Coronet until later

[@ordinaryyoutubechannel582]

Normal moves only is one I've done before that makes Byron genuinely challenging. Roark is still harder, but Byron is like the second hardest fight.

[@morgastic23]

Ah, no wait I see now for some reason the first floor isn't listed as so, but as "Route 207/211/216 entrance"

[@alexread6767]

@@morgastic23 you wouldn't think so. But no, Level 15 probopass is just in the game

[@morgastic23]

@alexread6767 I've never used one before but now I want to just because I can

[@GavinOrok-o9g]

The contrived ad segways have become my favourite part of these runs.

[@scottmillard9662]

I did one of these once and it was a blast. Such an overpowered roster…and then my 0 attack IV, 31 special attack IV, modest Steelix…

[@stealst]

I loved seeing Phyllis clutch up in the E4. I don’t know what it is about Golem that makes me so fond of it- I just love its cute little face. Also, I’m with GarchompFJ. That was an unhinged ad segue.

[@ChesterRGC]

I honestly don't care that much about nuzlockes, but I love this man's humor, honesty and niceness

[@rateddark8650]

It took me to Dwight to realize the naming scheme. Love that Tobi was treated the same like in the show.

[@landono4209]

Your production quality and storytelling are only getting better. As someone who’s been around since the original FireRed nuzlocke, it genuinely makes me so happy to see you thriving

Pokemon platinum + ground type + garchomp = the heaven for garchomp FJ

[@Kabuster]

sadly gible had the calm nature which it's a neg atk nature it make sense that he didn't use garchomp

[@ZoeyAnonschild]

I feel like it was similar to not using Gyarados in most Nuzlockes, maybe he felt it would’ve been too easy. But I appreciate that he said that Gabite was her finale form, completely disrespecting Garchomp

[@matadeverdoemden]

[@DenTailor]

@@KabusterLol, he’s playing the story. Even the worst possible nature Garchomp would tear up. He just doesn’t like Garchomp

Just had somewhat of a heart-to-heart with my old man. This video is literally godsend rn. Thank you, Flygon

[@sopadumacacoumadelicia5]

At 1:07, Petr would have done much worse things to Phyllis after stealing her from you, Flygon

[@cullenhutchison6528]

I don't know if this was intentional, but aside from the PETA reference, "PETR" is extra punny because "Peter" means "rock".

[@nickybecnel5047]

Idk if you know this Matti but technically you could have a steelix by the time you fight Fantina. Wild Bronzors have a 5% chance of holding a metal coat so just thief one off and boom, you have a ridiculous check against Fantina. Obviously it ended up not mattering but still the more you know!
