What's YOUR Favorite Dragon Type?

[@ohhjaeger3711]

Baxcaliber is a baller

[@jorgemoralescardenas9657]

Maybe not the most OP but for me is Goodra ❤️

[@garchompmaster8615]

Zekrom

[@edgyanole9705]

Mega rayquaza

[@TheHikariOne]

Reshiram, hands down. Really unorthodox design (looking like a wolf/wyvern hybrid) and I like its second special move a lot (Blue Flare).

[@joetheturtle7768]

The plot twist of Clive being Director Clavel is the most shocking Pokémon plot twist since The Masked Royale

[@darklight6921]

now i know why ash gets fooled by team rocket all the time.

[@PopcornChicken9394]

Yeah, someone has to give Game Freak a reward for amazing plot twists.

[@Thomas-ev4gm]

Saw Cassiopeia being penny from a mile off but yeah Clive being director clavel blew my mind

Essentially my entire playstyle

[@letstec]

In case you ever do another Gen 9 challenge and have a Applin on your team, by heading into the forest near the poison team star boss you can pick up both apples from the shiny loot on the ground. This means you could have had Appletun for as early as the first gym

[@dogone3874]

you could also buy both the sweet and tart apple in delibird presents which is in mesagoza

[@horse_tornado7820]

Adding on to these, an apple a day keeps the doctor away

[@S4turn-yt]

You can buy them…

[@letstec]

@@S4turn-yt yes after the third gym, this tactic works after defeating Klawf

[@S4turn-yt]

I swear i could get them straight away

[@nickboon1235]

Wow that Applin really showed us what it means to be a dragon type in the grass gym

[@apenwithwrights63]

I absolutely love the intro with lucario hitting goomy into space🤣🤣🤣 poor goomy

[@awesomeraichu59342]

My favorite Dragon Type is Baxcalibur. I didn’t think much of it when I first saw it’s design but it grew on me like wildfire and fell in love with it.

[@brandonhoward6111]

Fax I love it that is why it is going to be on my team

[@syent3006]

Same here

[@corvistein9016]

Ice Godzilla had me from the moment I saw that it was pretty much just haxorous with pseudo stats. Plus his ability is sweet when it procs

[@sirpentious7963]

We not only have Godzilla himself in paldea, but also mecha Godzilla in Iron Thorns And I love it

[@mylestomsik4720]

i loved him when i first saw him, he's so dope and at the same time, insanely powerful.

[@jasonandrews1770]

I really appreciate that u can get dragon types and pseudos early. Lets u actually play through the game with them and not just get them in the endgame

[@xbot02]

They made it so easy to do a dragon only run this gen, I love it

[@epicworldespanol8312]

Hydreigon is not only my favorite dragon type, but also my favorite non legendary pokemon ever, it just so cool and powerful, love also how they gave it Nasty plot to make it even more powerful Edit:100 likes thanks everybody :)

[@antssr_9106]

Same. Funnily enough, despite being 4x weak to fairy, it can deal with them pretty easily due to flash cannon

[@everyonesidol9731]

[@JD12899]

Also a good way to do encounters would be how Jan did it where you take a wheel of all the encounters in an area and spin the wheel and see what you get so it’s still random you could do this but with just whichever Pokémon are of the type you’re doing a run with

[@antlerboylive]

It's certainly a good idea!

[@nitroblaze6696]

Now that's genius

[@ProfessionalNon]

@@antlerboylive btw, I’d love to see a Violet run with Fire types only It’d be pretty interesting, especially when ceruledge exists

[@ZephyCluster]

@@ProfessionalNon Or a ghost run since there's a big cast of new ghost types (Skeledirge, Brambleghast, Greavard, Ceruledge, Gimmighoul, etc.)

[@kuyaboben5300]

My first shiny in this game is a Swablu and seeing you have a swablu named Cotton Candy while mine’s named Cotton just warms me up lol. Another banger of a video

[@craigwatson1420]

Altaria is my favorite pokémon and Cotton Guard setup has won me so many tough battles in my nuzlockes. Love to see it!

[@zai5253]

And so begins the new generation of Hardcore Nuzlockes. Let's go Antler man!

Garchomp. A classic and probably my favorite dragon type design to date

[@trebbat]

8:09 okay, that was a great one, caught me way off guard.

[@KingBatman053]

I was like what he say 😭😭😭

[@dinosaurking8637]

Roaring moon would be the the coolest part of your team

[@Jakeofalltrades2]

Antler I just want to say that I love watching your videos, and I wanted to thank you for reigniting my love for Pokemon Games! I'm currently playing through Pokemon Black right now, and I love having your videos on my 2nd monitor as motivation!

[@dannyakadfate6771]

Finally I can watch this challenge. When you released it, I didn't watch because I had to play until the final battle myself. But now, when I finished the main game, I can watch and enjoy another of your monotype nuzlockes with my favorite tyoe. :)

[@colinakersakers44]

Can’t believe I actually saw someone say this game has forgettable gym leaders. Like how the hell are people disrespecting my boy Larry like that. Great video, lots of fun

[@devv197]

Probably because they’re all relatively easy. Now the Team Star bosses are a different story.

[@sariix2656]

Fantastic video! Always a good day when you see your name pop up on notifications. Favorite dragon is Dragonite, hands down. The trauma of playing Pokemon Yellow for the first time and finally KOing Lance's Dragonite only to have another one take its place... That is etched into my memory forever haha

[@searingeyes]

Amazing run good sir! I must admit I thought the paradox Pokémon were gonna be more of a challenge! But you did just marvellous!

[@jordanbutler8530]

Heads up, you can get the loaded dice from one of the people who give rewards from beating trainers. Baxcaliber with loaded dice icicle spear is enough to sweep a lot of the elite four after a dragon dance. I saw Mandjtv do it. It looked glorious.

You’re an absolute beast for grinding this game out so much so fast

[@kiddosam8032]

We should’ve known that Professor Chad was an AI…a being of such perfection could never exist naturally…

[@unironicpanda]

Always love your monotype runs! Interested in seeing other types or runs with how open SV is compared to other games. 😊

[@toetail8665]

This is honestly the best pokemon game they ever put out. So much potential and limitless features in this game.

[@raptorrunner5877]

With the new amount of fire types, I think a fire type nuzlocke in scarlet would be cool

[@danl5544]

Best nuzlocke youtuber, no cap. Awesome commentary, awesome video

[@doriankamanzi6874]

Great videos as always had to wait before I could watch it since I wanted to finish the game without spoilers and don't you love that we have another dragon type Sudo legendary

[@attakrus]

Baxcaliber looks so cool! Like an Ice Type Spinosaurus! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! 😍😍

[@chriscunningham6401]

Not finished watching yet, but Applin being the MVP is not something you see every day lol

[@filoniaching1105]

I like your video

[@ShayCovers]

Big fan of the content antler! Just subbed :)

[@unknown_person_777]

antler always make sure that every ending is fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Sun-sf2kp]

The first type nuzelocke from a great KZbin

[@ReginaldMilesG7]

Something to let you know btw, there's a guy in the ice town with the ghost type gym leader that can trade bottle caps to make out iv's, which you can get after a couple of gym badges.

[@mixou2943]

French me enjoying the video : I love Antler's content, his rap is eveything (I ofc saw the previous video) and nuzlocking is so good ! And then I heard "Au revoir mon croissant" and I got shivers all over my spine, baby ! * o *

[@JD12899]

I just finished your last video and I immediately saw this perfect timing

[@blackdragonwtf]

In the future for dragon type runs of the game, you can get bagon, dreepy, and axew In the circular mountain above the swamp in south paldea, just circle around near the lower tower in the rocky cliffs where klawf is, they should be between levels 15ish-20ish. For people playing scarlet larvatar and possibly deino spawn instead

[@nokiagt]

Larvitar is not a dragon

[@Kase47]

larvitar is not a dragon type

[@blackdragonwtf]

I know larvatar isn’t a dragon I’m just explaining the game different spawn

[@Mattschmalzter]

I’d love a Scarlet/Violet Fairy run!

[@RiderSSPU]

Yes!!! A fairy run would be amazing. Need to see Antler use Gigaton hammer

[@MegaPandora2]

That's what I'm doing so many fairy types it's awesome ✨✨

[@astek.lenartowicz]

10:09 fun fact: you can actully evolve applin sooner,bove apples appear as glowing stars around the poison team base

[@Chloe-ue5kj]

antler you dont understand, these series are my favourite from youtube. please keep making more

[@justsomerandomdudeontheint9859]

When you realize they the original Professor Turo is evil, not the AI one, and was just following his program against his will:

Haxorus, I have fond memories of him beating Cynthia's garchomp in the PWT.

[@user-qb7vn8wg1e]

BRO I MISSED THESE KEEP UP THE GOOD CONTENT

[@evanallison8063]

Honestly, when I realized they put another Dragon/Ice type. I immediately realized that I could Fairy Tera Type it and neutralize almost every weakness.

[@potato5891]

Op baxcalibur

[@CJ_Dub]

I just love gible it is cute turns into to perfect predator because it is ground dragon the anima shows it swimming really fast, and some dex entries say it can fly at super sonic speeds plus gible is fun to say and gets some pretty good moves

[@AzureRadio]

Love that you added the rap again lol, perfect closer

[@CN_Corbeau]

Loving the S/V nuzlockes so far

[@grey-c8138]

A little tip if you end up using ground types in any future S/V nuzlockes, if you beat 5 trainers in Asado Desert, the league representative at the Cascarafa pokemon center will give you the tm for earthquake. I figure you might not know this since Garchomp still had dig in the endgame

[@johnplatt8076]

Just as a heads up, you can purchase the apples to evolve Applin after beating 3 gyms.

[@styxkeeper]

Nuzlocking theese games is so nuts, the games are soooo sloooow. Massive respect to you

[@wallowdite2378]

hey man this is kinda of random but I've been watching your videos for a while and they always calm me down thank you

[@tylerbartlett28]

Here's something, do a nuzlocke but do the team star raids and titan battles too in-between with their level caps. With the exp share the way it is, it might be tough.

[@aaronnavidad539]

Not too tough but the fucking titans take at least one mon when u can’t heal up in between

[@Trikiay21]

Exactly! I wish some nuzlocker would do the Team Star fights in the intended order cause those are the most difficult fights in the game imo and to completely skip them like this is just sad. The gyms aren’t as challenging as those Star Bosses, so it’ll make for a more interesting nuzlocke as well if they do everything in the intended order

[@klobknocker6512]

My favorite would probably have to be Haxorus because of how much of a beast it can be.

[@devaughndision9896]

I love this guys videos for a reason, my favorite dragon is Dragapult

[@riderfanprime8393]

Good choice on type dragons are my absolute favorite Pokemon I've built quite a few dragon teams myself

[@reecechamberlain780]

I'm really hoping I see a noivern this run. My favourite Pokémon of all time

[@LeJayKay]

[@mechajason]

So far I have done 9/18 types and the dragon challenge was my second one and I named my dragons after Yu-Gi-Oh! monsters I love my Lusterdragon he was so strong he was also a garchomp with sand veil ability

[@enimalnaide7767]

Thank you, this is actually a very solid pokemon game :) Love it

[@curnies]

Man, the dulcet tone of your voice is so pleasing to listen to. Great playthrough, thanks for the vid!

[@nathangillen737]

This is just my personal choice, but I think leaving the bases till after the league is too stompy. I'd like to see you fight titans and bases at their caps

[@TFmaster75]

for encounters in this game, i wonder if itd be possible to catch two high level mons, and then picnic to get an egg from them and have that be your early game "encounter"

[@franks8462]

That's the lovely prerogative of playing a nuzlocke. You can do whatever you want with it. Add rules, take away some, and have some extra clauses. The world's your oyster.

[@Jeenzzz]

Antlerboy narrations is just like the honest trailers tbh 🤣

[@vorpalpizza3250]

"Coraidon these nuts!" Best line ever🤣

[@DrYoshi]

I think for future nulockes, adding the team star bases to the level caps would be cool, since, at least in my casual playthrough, they were the boss fights i had the most struggle with. The titans could also be interesting, especially when they are super effective against your team

[@TrickroomGaming]

Subbed, dudes a solid KZbinr

No joke, my favorite is Appletun and I got really happy to see it! I just really like silly/stupid looking pokemon and It's just an apple pie + dragon, great stuff
