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

[@gayandvibing9743]

Love that Garchomp FJ is just getting the Orochimaru treatment where instead of being Flygon's despised rival, he's now his roommate that HG helps set up a squarespace site for

[@owenaspinall2046]

The grunty boi treatment

[@oxmember]

I missed the video with the set up of Gamechomp FJ, does anyone have the origin video or explain the name/lore?

[@gayandvibing9743]

@@oxmember don't remember his origin But basically he's flygon's rival of best ground/ dragon. Garchomp locked him in a basement at some point.

[@marcoarnaud3964]

That, from time to time, still tries to take over the world, but potato potato

[@shawnhinton8336]

A normal monotype run in a game where muchlax is literally more rare than a unicorn is a hold move

[@CesarMT1661]

This run is just Flygon trying to be as luck as Barry was lol

[@TOXICGAMING-2003]

Yep hold move it is .

[@shawnhinton8336]

​@@TOXICGAMING-2003I said what I said

[@spacejam4523]

Thankfully there’s online calculators that you can enter your trainer ID in to find which trees it can be possibly found on

[@nellewoodruff6337]

What type of hold move? Seismic Toss? Or something nuts like Mimikyu's Z move?

[@Zgrissinger]

the "NYEH!" threw me harder than he threw that Chansey haha

[@silver_was_found]

nyeh heh heh

[@njivwathomassilavwe2056]

The fact Duck would have lived if it was a Porygon Z is both sad and amusing

[@pablofigueroa8619]

That extra 30 special attack mattered literaly the next 30 seconds he decided to not evolve

[@iBlueBro]

You mean Duck?

[@its_raining_meatballs8658]

Unducky

[@ladylexicon11]

That Volkner fight has got to be one of the most cursed string of events I've seen in any Pokemon playthrough good god.

[@casualreuniclus]

As an Aipom appreciator, I can confidently say I got no idea what went wrong with Ambipom. It lost its goofy charm and became much worse

[@patricialock1862]

Agreed

[@cyb3r_Ang3lBee]

disagree ambipom is a cheeky sweetheart and gets way too much hate

[@wheatleythebrick2276]

it looks like a skull

[@silver_was_found]

Agreed. Ambipom looks like that one guy in the corner of the playground who asks you if he can touch your socks.

[@intergalactic92]

The internet that’s what. One guy says it looks like nipples and suddenly everyone jumps on the bandwagon. I’m not pretending it’s good design, it’s flawed in many ways but the concept is still solid…. Maybe it’s more frustrating for how it uses the concept. Maybe I’m biased because of how useful she was in my platinum nuzlocke.

The Klawf of averages is now part of my daily vernacular

[@supermarilink]

Some of the most RNG extremes I’ve ever seen in the history of your runs. That Volkner fight was just absolute insanity.

[@rockingmets195]

Hey Flygon! Had a suggestion: GarchompFJ Team. All the pokemon who have ruined your runs or killed fan favorite pokemon. Love your videos!

[@nissantzvitovey]

That's for next years April fools

[@Fanimati0n]

With a gible as his starter (that's had dragon rage removed)

this genuinely has to be the unluckiest run you've done in a while

The unexpected Dune musical cue made me burst out laughing

[@yolandaholleycarwell687]

Me too 😂

[@SeeMyEvil]

It becomes pretty dark when you realize what Cynthia did The Pokemon egg she gave you near the start just to try an kill it later on. She gave you her Togekiss baby just to try an kill it.

Yeet the egg blob

[@PedroHenrique-mk5zi]

This may be a Normal-type Nuzlocke but it had abnormal levels of bad lucky.

[@ragglefraggle5307]

This run is the epitome of RNG giveth and RNG taketh

[@cTc10691]

Seeing this makes me wonder if Fairy only runs of games that didn't have Fairy types would be possible? Like using the Ralts, Mr. Mime, Clefairy, Marill lines. Title could be something like "Fairy? Only"

[@nastynate_95]

That Luxray fight was sooo funny 😭 also Natural Gift Technician Ambipom was a goated strat

[@viiranen]

Considering there are zero thoughts inside that Beaver's head and "Fear is the mind killer" i am now wondering what could this murder machine of a aquatic rat be afraid of.

[@itslexactually]

A Screech

[@emberlynn.pinkle]

11:46 I appreciate the fact that he did in fact retrieve Chansey after he grabbed her like she owed rent and NYEH-d her into the woods as hard as possible just to put her safely into the Daycare’s custody

[@Chunkosaurus]

Flygon I'm gonna need a voodoo style exorcism to remove the curse of beep beep pony

[@Legomaster719]

I've always loved the nicknames in the normal type only challenges. They never fail to make me smile, I needed that tonight.

[@danielhale1]

You condemned Chancey to the role of cheer leader and they didn't complain even once, they just lent their support through the whole run. Cheers to one of the hidden heroes of the team! For all we know, that's how the miracle thaw went down. :D

[@jackalgames0]

The Lisan Al Gib cut the first time was too funny. Caught me off guard😂

[@MultiAsh93]

RNG was completely out for blood in that Volkner fight, wtf. I wont even lie, my computer would be going out the window

Wake up babe, FlygonHG dropped another platinum Nuzlocke 0o0

[@blizidettryuo]

I was about to say it X)

[@tsifirakiehl4250]

I’m less than 8 minutes into the video, and I’m already a fan of 🦉 Night Bird 🦉. He reminds me of my own Noctowl, Nandi, whom I used in a Nuzlocke of Soulsilver.

[@ItsASleepySheepy]

Holy cow, RNJesus woke up and chose violence indeed!

[@Infernape102]

Fun fact: Its theorized that Ambipom was SO ugly, that the writers of the Diamond and Pearl anime were forced to get rid of it. How did they do that? Ping pong. Ambipom, a pokemon that was a fan of contests, was released in order to pursue Ping pong, and was never seen again.

[@braedenmclean5304]

They gave him the forest gump treatment?

[@dancook6114]

Yeah, which is even dumber when you think that the whole reason Ash traded aipom to dawn in the first place was because it was so into contests

[@gayandvibing9743]

Literally had to do a happy stim when I saw this pop up because it's my favorite type in my favorite region

[@maxmiralles2878]

dude I LOVED this video, the editing, humor, the run itself is crazy good man! Congrats flygon, keep it up and GL in run and bun, first attempr is ours BABYYYY

[@KatonRyu]

I watch several KZbin Nuzlockers, but your videos really are the best. The humor in the videos themselves as well as the ad segues are just amazing every single time.

[@Ryanwizardstaff]

Completely agree with your take on Ambipom. To quote the Godfather himself, Vito Corleone: ""Look how they massacred my boy."

[@ErinDromeda]

Oooooh, this dropped right in the midst of my extremely-not-a-nuzlocke Platinum run! May the Bidoof be blessed!

[@LebanonStorm]

I just woke up and saw that Flygon uploaded a new video. Had to start watching it right away. “It’s always a good day when FlygonHG uploads a new video.”- AntlerboyLive (probably) (Also- thank you for introducing the “Klawf of averages”. Was nice seeing Klawf running GarchompFJ’s fade there.)

[@Metroid4ever]

lmao, i'm doing this nuzlocke right now! It's incredibly difficult to the point where I'm fudging the encounters a bit like allowing myself a Zangoose and Teddiursa (if I were using real hardware, and had the correct GBA games to insert, it would be legal in my book) and coding in an encounter for Glameow on 218 since it's available in one Sinnoh game but not Platinum for some reason. Am about to watch your run! Ahhhh, doing the same name theme as me!! Love it!

[@HPFireYT]

As someone who did a normal type run of white 2 just because I love normal types, I love this video already.

[@chimneysss]

the rng you got in this run was insane they were all out to get you 😭😭

[@DKongSoldier]

I don't know if many other viewers got that "leave it to beaver" reference.. but that was good 👌

[@anthonyb8069]

Fantastic video as always Dr. HG. Seeing the Duck? Fiasco play out got me thinking that you should do a nuzlocke of middle evolutions only. Maybe a high-school/rebellion theme and storytelling?

[@frank2mb]

The 29:21 skit made me cackle, especially that the last one I watched before this was the Heart Gold babies Hardcore Nuzlocke 🤣

[@SittinGamer]

Not always a commentor and, while some of this is obviously out of your control for content, this is easily one of the most well done and genuinely funny of the nuzlocke videos in a while. From the chansey yeet to the klawf of averages to the volkner circus, this was peak

[@asdfg3046]

I cannot take this ambipom slander. How dare

[@magicalgirllaurie]

THANK YOU AMBIPOM IS PERFECT I HATE HOW PEOPLE SLANDER IT SO OFTEN

[@aprilm3203]

Agreed it’s like with enamourous as well. The design is good and people not in the Pokémon community like it but it became a meme too hate them so they get slandered and have their design misunderstood

[@FiniteChaos]

@@aprilm3203 I disliked their designs immediately when I saw them, it's not a meme... They just genuinely look pretty goofy/ugly (imo), there's not much to misunderstand. That said of course everyone is welcome to their opinions and not every design is going to resonate with the majority of the community! That's the great thing about pokemon, no matter how polarizing the design they'll always be someone's favorite!

[@missionkittyvideo]

i've found my people 😭 the ambipom shade shocked me lmao

I thought the maylene fight was ridiculous. But that damn Luxray had me reeling. I was getting angry just watching. Goddamn I wish we had a live react to that one

[@ela-811]

Who would've known the Normal Monolocke would be the most entertainingly chaotic?

[@silver_was_found]

I, too, also graduated from the No Thoughts Just Vibes Academy for the Simple-Minded. For some reason, all the other students there were Bidoof, Bibarel, Numel, Woobat, and Swoobat.

[@princeoftheazuresky]

Always good to see a Platinum nuzlocke! This will be fun!

[@tritunn3846]

I always wait for the introduction for the ad read before liking the video. I always love the self aware humor and it brings a smile to my face every time. And of course love the content.

Cynthia knew that togekiss would have flinch lucario with her third eye, that's why she gave you the egg

[@fabdragon2071]

Star Baby was having none of that ish!

[@peterd.149]

Only Flygon could craft a compelling narrative from a Normal-type Platinum Nuzlocke, the equivalent of creating a beautiful painting using only basic shades of grey.

[@Hannah-qy9sl]

brother you haven’t even watched the video yet you don’t know the narrative

[@devinbuettgenbach2941]

Bob Ross would be proud

[@kylehavens5038]

maylene’s lucario and Crasher Wake are the bane of my gen 4 nuzlocke’s. Occasionally Mars Skuntank becomes part of that list too. yet those pokemon on my team are never nearly as frightening to enemies.

While the team is fighting for their lives. Chansey just chilling.
