12:16 It's actually not about the IVs or natures of Clay's pokemon here, there's a thing called the "challenge mode glitch" where the pokemon in challenge mode have the stats of as if they were the same levels as normal mode. In normal mode Clay's pokemon are all 3 levels lower, so that Sandslash had speed as if it was level 31, and Excadrill as if it was 33. However it should also be noted that level does play a part in damage calculation, so even though Sandslash has the same stats in both modes, it will still do more damage in challenge mode.

I hadn't considered it until this video, but I think it's hilarious that while villainous, the Team Rocket/Plasma/Galaxy members are still noble enough to pay you when they lose Pokémon battles

[@Progeno]

When there is a very scary team of pocket monsters waiting for the moment the situation turns from a Pokémon battle to a self defence case, I think the criminal would rather pay a couple pokedollars over a very expensive trip to a pokemon centre.

[@samirjiwa3813]

Something that puts FlygonHG above most content creators for me is his constant growth. Not just with how production quality has risen since his first videos, and with how much better he's gotten at the game itself, but character growth. He seems much more confident now. He's much less self-depreciating, is kinder to himself with misplays, and just seems to have more fun in general.

[@serene_togepi]

this is so true!!!! 🙌🙌

I think being self deprecating can be just as good! But I think you have to balance it and realize that sometimes you dumb moments are smart moments in a few attempts

Literally one of the coolest nuzlocke vids. Really well played in the endgame. Reykjavík crit on Hyderigon was pretty hype.

[@bigslappy823]

Saw "Hardcore Nuzlocke" and saw Rampardos in the thumbnail and immediately gave it a like. I'm currently using a Rampardos in my Platinum HC nuzlocke and with a Bold nature and max def/speed investment he turned out to be a MONSTER. Also the whole idea for this run sounds real fun. It reminds me of that one guy who did a Platinum run based on how much he ran each day.

That platinum thing sounds pretty interesting. If you can, could you please share the link?

These videos are soooo freaking good. After watching your nuzlockes, I have learned so much and started making strategies and synergies between moves, abilities and other stuff. Cooking up strategies is the best part of these nuzlockes no doubt. These challenges are very fun and informative to watch

[@how2banana25]

im a little late to this one but extremely good video. youre by far my favorite nuzlocker. i think the pokemon GO integration was really unique. with nuzlockes, one of the driving factors behind it is "you name your pokemon and if they die they die" so it's almost more personal, like you have a bond with them so you play super careful. i think pokemon GO compounds this feeling seeing as how you had to actually go out in the real world and catch these mons. especially on a nice vacation. there may (or may not) be more sentimental value with these pokemon which makes it that much more special. keep up the great work, would love to see more like this

i still play go regularly :) nothing will ever capture how close we got to world peace when it came out but i’ve struggled w mental health for so long that sometimes pokémon go is the only thing to get me out of bed bc i have to go get my daily pokestop. i love it and this video is super cool!
