Pokémon White 2 Hardcore Nuzlocke - Bug Types Only! (No items, No overleveling)

[@DocZ]

Again thank you guys so much for the support! I tried to do something different, by doing both voiceover and facecam. Do you guys prefer this, just voiceover, or just facecam? Let me know in the comments!

[@elik5832]

Voice over

[@elik5832]

Actually any

@@rboss5919 bug bite is just a really good move tbh, bug has been getting better over the years, same can't be said for ice types tho sadly.

[@rboss5919]

@@MLGProMaster-tu9tz Fairy kinda killed the only reason ice types were kinda relevant. I mean there are some good ice types but they're either extremely vulnerable to things not going their way (like Weavile running into sometjing that either outspeeds/prioritizes it or it cant OHKO.) or the pokemon itself is really good despite the typing (like Lapras). Honestly, they should probably make Ice neutral against steel and give it one at least one more resistance to make it fairly useable.

[@selmegc4921]

i didn’t pay attention for a second and was so confused when he used dig on elektross

[@crazychristopher1989]

Mold Breaker makes abilities useless in battle. It nullifies Levitate, thus making Eelektross susceptible to Ground typed attacks.

[@japethspeaketh7034]

20:35 There was no need for using X-Scissor to break Magnezone's Sturdy. Your Pinsir has the Mold Breaker ability, meaning that it ignores Magnezone's ability & could have easily 1-Hit KOed Magnezone with Dig.

Ahh yes, I knew I was being dumb somewhere

Runners dont like to do that game because its pacing is super slow. It's by far the slowest to start, which makes resetting for good pokemon a nightmare and it has the most frequent and longest cutscenes in the series which makes retrying portions after failure awful.

[@Mast3rH3r0]

[@Zoroarkarceus123]

That Heracross encounter is more lucky than you think. It's a .25% chance on like a 20% chance for a Pokémon to even show up.

[@rattyxoxo7397]

It’s actually just the 0.25% chance, since that factors in pokemon only having a 20% chance to appear. The 4 pokemon there (Combee at 15%, Leavanny at 4%, Pinsir at 0.75%, Heracross at 0.25%) only consist of 20% of spawns in the grotto

[@typhlosion7872]

I always try to use Dwebble for Elesa, even when I have ground types, just because Stealth Rock is extremely helpful for her Volt Switch spam. All of her pokemon have options to hit ground types, so it makes them slightly less useful. Rocks stacks on a surprising amount of damage when she spams Bolt Switch

[@Ludiloco]

Yeah Stealth Rocks wrecks her team. Did it on my run and it made the fight surprisingly easy.

It was the original white version. That made me realize that I always caught a bunch of bug pokemon. I never really searched for them as I'm not a completionist or a nuzloker. It's just sometimes when you run through they give you something to smear on trees or the fact that the bug tournament was there or that was a good way of catching strong early game pokemon. Bam bug type. Forest areas bam more bugs. By the time I grew up to complete my dex (I don't do living dex I do level dex.)
