Quick question : who is garchomp FG canonically ? Is it a brother, a friend, your worst enemy, a coworker, or anything like that ? Best character by far. Because there’s only two characters.

[@danieldavies3092]

Hey so fun fact, Psergei actually could evolve if you used a leaf stone on it in any ultra space map. Ultramegalopolis, for example. Pokémon evolving in Ultra Space don't evolve into their Alolan form

Espeon is my favorite Pokémon (followed by the rest of the Eeveelutions/Eevee itself, lol) so I felt personally attacked. =P

[@LagrimaArdiente]

I'd argue that using an Adrenaline Orb to get a legitimate, SOS-only encounter is equivalent to using Poké Balls-technically it's using an item, but it doesn't give you any edge in battle and it's important/necessary to obtain a Pokémon, so it's all good.

[@youtube-kit9450]

Honestly, the amount of dark/bug moves in Alola is insane. It reminds me of how brutal gens 5-7 were for rock/steel types simply because every second mon had a random fighting/ground move coverage against them.

[@tricmagic]

That is a serious insult to Porbeetles everywhere.

[@that-guy-pearce]

So technically you can still get Kantonian Exeggutor in these games by evolving Exeggcute in Ultra Space, which you can access at any time after reaching the Altar, but I have to admit using the eggs with an eviolite was much funnier.

[@mattildas7515]

Me: How bad can this go? Me before even the second trial: Well at least we get to see local Alolan burial customs?

[@SplashMail]

0:55 it’s because it’s a pun in Japanese. Foul play is called ‘ikasama’, which itself translates to ‘foul play’, but ‘ika’ is also ‘squid’ and ‘-sama’ is a suffix marking great respect. So it can be roughly translated to ‘Lord Squid’

[@smileyface81mc77]

That’s hilarious. ALL HAIL LORD SQUID!!

[@MyselfTheThird]

[@joeychipman5352]

Huh. That would be clever wordplay. Here, I thought Inkay got Foul Play so early to fit with its whole "upside-down" theme, since you expect to attack with your own Attack stat, not the target's.

[@aidanrmacgregor7537]

First time commenting that you should do a "Using Pokemon Wrong" Hardcore Nuzlocke! This would be a Nuzlocke with no encounter restrictions* but for any pokemon you want to use, you have to exclusively use the lower of its two offensive stats (or your choice if they are equal*). Basically, if a pokemon's physical attack is higher than its sp. attack, even by a tiny bit, you cannot have that pokemon use any physical moves in battle. This will be especially fun and challenging for pokemon with an obvious preference for one over the other, and I think it could reverse your opinion of some of the franchise's most abysmal learnsets in the earlier games and show off pokemon you haven't appreciated before! I'd recommend a game post physical/special split so you have more diversity in movepools, but you do you! *Optionally, you could elect to deem pokemon with equal Sp. Att and Physical Att ineligible encounters. Could be fun.

[@patricialock1862]

Ooh this seems pretty cool

[@arininquotes8396]

This is so creative! I think it could work with the regular nuzlocke encounter system or maybe pre-selecting the mon on each route that has the biggest difference in stats or something.

[@onnivinpelzel6368]

​@arininquotes8396 the pre selection clause would make it a serious challenge, that'd be a blast to watch.

[@praalgraf]

he found himself surfing off the coast of australia

[@LowQualityCarbink]

and then eat pancakes

[@levistewart8856]

My best headcanon is that Alola relaxed it and made it Psychic. A lot of Kanto-Raichu Pokédex entries mention how stressed out and angry it is. So maybe the chill environment of Alola and chill lifestyle (eating pancakes) mellowed it out enough to unlock latent psychic abilities (Pikachu has been able to learn Agility since Gen 1). Or maybe I’m a nerd and it means nothing.

[@abfs5470]

I feel like that would work for any animal honestly, like imagine a dog hovering around on its tail and tell me it doesnt have some kind of magic

[@MrMostlyMediocre]

So chill that it unlocked the ability to use psychic powers to hoversurf on his own tail

[@nicholasricci8342]

having focus blast for the sole purpose of turning it into a 100 accuracy z move is such a smart strat

[@user-ni2bo3mu5p]

Just fun new information in case you didn't know, In the Ultra Games you can evolve Pikachu, Exeggcute, and Cubone into their normal non alolan evolution if you evolve them in Ultra Space. Meaning you could have evolved Exeggcute into a Psychic type Exxeggutor. Probably wouldn't have come in handy that much, but still something that could potentially come in handy for future nuzlocke attempts.

Hey did you know? You could have evolved your exeggcute into the Kantonian Exeggutor in USUM! If you are inside of an ultra wormhole, any non-alolan forms can be evolved into! This works for normal Raichu and Marowak as well!

Facts. Oricorio carried tf outta me through alot of early game runs 🙏

[@dvillines26]

using Oricorio in Violet made me realize it's actually an extremely good Pokemon for in-game runs. it gets so many tools. it doesn't get secondary STAB for a while, but the defensive flexibility from form switching is great. though the Flying/Psychic one is definitely the worst and you want to be using the other three forms.

​@@dvillines26not only that, you can get Oricorio before going to the school, so itll carry you for a while, being useful against the first 3/4 main fights

[@shoblette961]

For me it wasn't Baltoy, it was Goomy. I chained for so long! To rub salt in the wound, on another playthrough, for whatever reason, I tried to get Goomy again. It showed up on the second call. USUM are my absolute favourite pokemon games, and I've played since gen 1. They're actually legitimately challenging! Also, you can evolve exeggcute into regular exeggcutor. If pokemon evolve while in the ultra wilds... they evolve into their kantonian forms since you're not in Alola!

You might be surprised that Delibird was actually instrumental to beating a few early Totems thanks to Z move bounce.

It's been a while since we've seen things go so wrong for you, and Mimikyu is establishing itself as a run-murderer. They're a cutscene slog, but the USUM vids are some of my favorite in terms of the challenges you face. And like you said, lots of mons we don't normally get to enjoy. Alola Snaplocke II when...?

I don't know if you read comments when the video is already over a week old, but I just wanted to say I loved this video! Gen 7 is my favourite gen, and USUM are fricking hard to nuzlocke! So i I hope you try out more in the future! I think a Rock.type only run could be fun, with pokemon like Lycanroc and Minior, not to mention the fossils you can buy in Konikoni city. It's rare to get to use more than one fossil, but I think it would be fair in a Rock-type only run.
