i soft reseted so many times on that battle bc i went in blind

[@lewisspring35]

I remember doing a Zekrom Solo run of USUM and genuinely thought I was gonna get stuck because Devastating Drake off of Dragon Claw didnt kill on my first two resets and I had to rely on Affection endure to even get it off. Thankfully, it did land the kill on attempt 3.

I mean, unironically an actual fight would have been nice but considering the hard choke on Hau he probably would've lost then. I'll take what we can get

[@Altair1243WAR]

Ok, but you know people just always ban as many decent pokemon as possible. I would like it if once in a while they could let the stater or something through

Honestly i found you during my big craze of watching many pokemon challenge runs, and also many other games, while doing challenge runs myself. Ive moved on from pokemon for now, yet i still return every time i see an upload from you cause your little stories and talks, drawings of fights, and the way that it always feels like youre having fun in each game.. is just something i very much appreciate and makes any day you upload a little bit brighter. Thank you so much for all the amazing content youve brought :)

Your storytelling skills lately have been so on point. The final Hau battle got me on the edge of my seat. ❤️ And congrats on your engagement! So happy for you!!

What a stunning intro. What marvelous cinematography. What breathtaking visuals. What excellent soundtrack. 10/10

[@MissOnana]

I'm so so happy to see Drampa getting some representation. I always hand pick a team of my six favorite mons before starting my playthrough, and when I saw this ancient friendly looking dragon, it was love at first sight. I wound up having a friend trade me one over, and boy did he do some heavy lifting. He's a fantastic but fairly underrated mon. I'm not surprised he got passed over, and I'm really glad he did.

[@COMICSAREAWESOME]

Its amazing to see how far you've come. Especially considering these games were not ones you were as familiar with. Also Komala was used well, so that makes me happy.

[@NelsonBulluckGaming]

Man these SnapLocke's are no joke...after Iceman went down, genuinely thought it'd be a wipe, but you pulled it out. Great video as always Flygon!

Oh man, I was so excited when I saw Minior on the thumbnail and then run itself certainly didn't disappoint. I love the Alola dex and it has A LOT of my favorite mons of all time. (Oricorio, Minior, Comfey, Crabrawler, Pyukumuku ect.) And to see them actually in the spot light was great. Thank you for an amazing run! Also shout out to the community for.. basically forgetting about a lot of my faves. I guess.

I beat Ultra Necrozma with a Zorua/Zoroark most of the time. You put a fighting type in the last spot and it will always go for Photon Geysir. Great run as always

I also do this. Mostly cuz I like Zoroark. XD

This video is very well edited, lots of well timed musical jingles paired with moving text, which does a great job upping the interest and comedy in the video. Love the script, as per usual, thanks for the content!

[@Nuclearstomp]

Such a fun run to watch! That moment with Ultra Necrozma was hilarious by the way. I was not expecting there would be another way to pull of the Rattata strategy lol. Anyway, I will once again recommend a no stab moves / bluntmons run of Black / White. I'll recommend adding an extra rule that you have to fight all optional trainers before each level cap, which is what I did and I think it makes the run more interesting. I think this is a decent time to return to this challenge considering it's been 10 months since the last run in FR/LG.

[@zinniaferguson461]

Holy crap, that final battle against Hau was a nail-biter. I'm currently struggling through my second attempt at an Ultra Moon nuzlocke myself, so props to you for finishing this one with such a small set of possible encounters. Take care, man.

[@PansyPops]

19:46 for those uninitiated, FEAR is also an acronym for F***ing Evil Annoying Rodent. This still works with FESK though, we can call it F***ing Evil Scary Komala

[@cullenhutchison6528]

It's always cool to see more nuzlockes of the Ultra games. A lot of the difficulty is in the planning stages rather than the actual battles, but one slip up can still cost Pokémon or the entire run. Snaplockes are also really cool since you get to see rarely used Pokémon shine.

[@Frenchaboo]

Pretty much every pokemon you caught was my favorite from Alola and one that I used myself multiple times. I think this video made me realize how much I actually love gen 7 pokemon, they're all region-relevant, colorful and uh... natural, maybe to distinguish them from the ultra beasts. Gen 8 and 9 only have a few that I adore but most of them almost feel too modern.

[@Mothcat.]

I love seeing you play the sun and moon series. It just makes me so happy because Its the very first generation I ever played and it’s my favorite. And because of how difficult it is it makes such interesting nuzlockes
