It’s really crucial to learn for these games that “super effective” doesn’t mean “the best move”

[@jasonreed7522]

Its hard to unlearn but in XD being handed an Ursaring with return (technically is a tediursa) teaches you to respect stab normal.

[@andreescalona8902]

@@jasonreed7522 also, if you aren't getting a KO anyway, sometimes it's better to use a weaker hit to prevent certain abilities/berries/healing from triggering

[@jasonreed7522]

@@andreescalona8902 oh definitely, learning to break sturdy, or deal chip damage to avoid a heal is huge. Granted in normal play I can't be bothered to do calcs. (I have never actually done full damage calcs in any run, the farthest i go is estimate my highest damage move)

[@radvil]

Yea i remember when my mystical fire did less damage than stored power to a ndm in showdown

[@vish5942]

i like to call it "the normal type theorem"

[@Blooby]

wow, this video is phenomenal. I had an absolute blast playing with you, and watching your narration & perspective makes me all the more happy we did this. can't wait for whatever we end up doing next!!

[@clutchspells2804]

You had a hell of a run. You also got to experience some frustrating nuzlock perils. Arena lock and counter wobuffet.

[@tgnm9615]

You did a very good job for being relatively new to Nuzlocke

[@ZexalDSJAsh]

Psst. Question. If Salamence was named Prejudice, where were all of the Palkia? lol

u did great!

[@agarnes100]

The best part of the run was Bloody asking you what type the gym leader was on every single gym.

[@xaven2877]

They have the synergy of two band/theater kids from different schools talking to each other for the first time. I love the awkwardness.

[@chancehulan123]

The innumerable times that Bloody asked what type the upcoming gym was had me laughing at your reaction every time lmao.

[@PhoenyxV]

"Everyone makes mistakes and all we can do is learn from them" so true. And I imagine that as a less experienced nuzlocker, combined with livestreaming, pulling a hard stop mid battle to look up information and run calcs isn't nearly as fun as taking the risk and hoping for the best. I'm not very far into this video, but I'm really excited to see how far you can both make it! (And how many dramatic cutaway FlygonHG eulogies we get.)

[@SuperRandomNation]

Wanted to see if there was a new FlygonHG video to watch and then saw this pop up in my feed 20 seconds ago. Wild timing

[@tejas5811]

Do you mean altaria HG?

[@Fatfish33W]

Legit I was doing the same thing

[@Lorenzo-tl6xb]

The one thing missing from this video is Bloody's regret after naming the Vaporeon lol

[@pequodcrewmember27]

as someone who was pretty much raised by Shady and Nappy’s SoulLink series, this run was seriously a blast to watch! it was so nostalgic seeing Bloody learn the ropes and you guys have great synergy together. hope you consider doing more SoulLinks in the future!

[@texasjoehotdog1838]

Damn that makes me sad to remember them. Those two pretty much carried the Pokémon community during the 3ds era

[@DoritosLocos]

Sad that nappy turned out to be a pedo

[@dangerboatsouth4747]

40:28 yeah I’m pretty sure that Raikou is supposed to be archeops. Considering it’s BST is 567 and it’s only 13 points of to Raikou’s 580 BST Fun video and fun run.

[@Gills1710]

Some of the pairings of the names were perfect. Creepy and Crawlie & Shock and Awe were particularly fitting - great stuff

[@greyscaleadaven]

35:28 Serebii vs Bulbapedia diff moment lmao In all seriousness though great run, randomizers take a completely different skillset in comparison to regular nuzlockes so they're always cool to watch.

[@waterwolflip77]

Hi Dr Flygon, just commenting to say that your videos have been a huge part of my life now since I’ve found your channel, they really help me to relax and unwind and have also inspired me to start a few nuzlockes myself in a couple of gens. You have innovative ideas, guidance and humour that keep me entertained every time I watch, I’ve learned a lot and I was so happy when I saw that you had decided to put full time effort into content creation. Thank you for all you have done and do and keep up the great work!

[@onlycrams773]

The fact that the pidove was named Fight and the Primeape was named Flight instead of the other way around felt so wrong 🤣

[@vinceroque2934]

They did that a fair bit, like Poison (Leavanny) Ivy (Toxicroak).

[@profchaos91]

nice run also, you should start calling yourself Flyg-One-HP, due to the enormous amount of missed killing ranges lol. I feel your pain everytime an enemy resists with 1 HP

[@sourcandy7608]

Fun fact: in gen 5 nothing could resist both dragon and fire Dragon hits everything for at least neutral damage besides steel which fire is super effective vs. Obvs changed in gen 6 tho with stuff like rock fairy or water fairy

I watched the highlights on both Flygon's highlights channel and Bloody's channel; this was such a fun run to watch and the two have such a delightful synergy together.

[@Sootielove]

omg Bloody really got the high/low luck with some great encounters and then the most frustrating battles

[@GamerGhostRider]

24:40 you were actually fighting Kyogre himself and didn't know. Loved watching this series!! For more content with Bloody.

[@leftpawedpolarbear]

It was so fun watching you do a Soul Link with someone who's barely done any Nuzlockes before! Yeah, it's an opportunity for you to provide tips and tricks, but also it was so great to see her get excited about things that more experienced Nuzlockers (understandably) take for granted. Between the two of you, it really was the best of both worlds!

[@amblonyxx]

Was also great to see Flygon explain all those common Nuzlocke traps!

[@themirrorsamurai8885]

Regarding the Raikou on N's team, I'm assuming that Archeops was grouped in with the legendaries due to having a BST of 567 (which is balanced out by having an actively detrimental ability). I'm not sure exactly how randomisation by power level works, but the highest BST for a non-legendary, non-psuedo Pokemon (without a detrimental ability) is 555 on Arcanine, so maybe the randomiser's power level groups ended at 560 or something for non-legendary Pokemon, and as a result Archeops was just high enough to be considered a weaker legendary by that logic.

[@profchaos91]

doesn't slaking have 670 total? so it's not the highest lol. but yeah, the game wouldn't put him in place of a 580 luckily

[@chrism8954]

@@profchaos91 “without a detrimental ability”

[@profchaos91]

@@chrism8954 but archeops has one too. Sure, it still beats slaking's, but still...

[@paulelderson934]

The point isn't about slaking or archeops' power level vs ability. It's that the developers of the randomizer had to make a choice as to what BST tiers exist. The guy above is saying that if you take the highest BST non (pseudo) legendary without a handicap, you get Arcanine with a 555 BST. That makes it a logical barrier to distinguish between legendary/non-legendary and could explain why Raikou popped up.

[@profchaos91]

@@paulelderson934 yeah that makes sense. also raikou isn't even that good of a pokèmon. Weaker than a pseudo-legendary lol

[@Flane4]

Watched all the Highlights, Bloody's version and now yours. Was a treat to see y'all play together! The nuzlocking tips and just overall foreshadowing/script writing was incredible well done here. Made everything feel fresh despite having seen it a couple times already.

[@IrfanFakhrianto]

The randomizer got a relatively recent update where it randomizes enemy trainer moves too (and "prefers better moves") which can make runs more interesting (and definitely more chaotic)

[@aceknight6622]

where do you find that assuming ur using the universal Pokemon randomiser

[@robertlupa8273]

Now I want to see some good fanart of Hilbert and Hilda with their hearts chained together like in the thumbnail.

[@swag4705]

I really enjoy watching these kinds of videos. A real twist from the average monotype locke or regular nuzlocke. Plus it introduces us to other small youtubers that we may enjoy. Keep up the great work 💯

[@preachingamigo]

I love these unique twists on regular Nuzlockes. One I've been doing recently is where you are given free reign to build a full team of six before the first gym, but then you're locked into that team for the full run. Currently doing an Omega Ruby run with a team of Ralts, Wingull, Seedot, Shroomish, Whismur, and Nincada. It's fun to see new and interesting challenges

[@jordanthejq12]

Hoenn has one of the strongest pre-Gym 1 encounter lists in the series, so enjoy Gardevoir, Breloom, and Shiftry bending the game over their knees!

[@lorrenm]

I just finished catching up on this on the highlights channel yesterday! Such a fun nuzlocke, and well worth watching through all the highlight videos. Bloody's fight against that Reshiram was brutal.

[@peggyp834]

I loved watching the highlights of this!! You and Bloody had such a great dynamic and this was so fun :)

[@chancehulan123]

This stream was an absolute blast. You and Bloody had great synergy together and I couldn't stop smiling the whole time. Thanks!

[@amesstarline5482]

Looks like Iris's type was "Bugged Type" this game- a Butterfree, a Heracross, and a glitch.

[@wienerschnitzel1739]

Ok but the name “Prejudice” on a Salamence is fucking sick

[@zaakutv862]

I love randomizers and soul links for the team building and use of Pokémon you don’t normally use. Just awesome content between the both of you here!

[@Liriand]

Can 100% recommend the highlights AND Bloody's video on the soullink! Two very funny people playing two great games.

[@doingitwron]

6:40. this is why dragon rage clause exists

[@ErinDromeda]

There's something I appreciate a lot about the sentence "Walrein is scheduled to wake up on the next turn so I switch to Bed."

[@80nt]

thanks to you both for making all the names themed on pairs like fish&chips, etc.. i appreciated it

[@patrickmaennel]

I love this! I usually never really have time to watch streams at all, but these videos are so well made, I really enjoy them :)

[@enderwiggins8248]

I gotta say, I really like your channel composition. Sometimes I have no time so I like watching these more polished videos. Other times I have a lot so it’s fun getting in depth with the highlights channel. Make sure to take plenty of breaks tho!!

[@SecretGizmo1902]

I really wish there was room in this video to include bloody asking for type confirmation before every gym. That was a great thread from the highlights.

[@idontneedachannelthanksyou7292]

[@matheusbellini9461]

I started a soulink in HGSS with a friend. His Geodude died from a bubblebeam from Whitney's Clefairy, who used metronome.

[@Kiravibesonly]

Awesome Video, liked it a lot :) As this video is a lot about learning, the Clefable fight was unlucky, but it was still a misplay to stay in with half health against it. It is hard to recognize that while being so unfortunate, but switching was always the much safer play.

[@mindfullofuselessknowledge3536]

Dope video, remember there are a few moves that actually bypass accuracy checks after a pokemon uses minimize, like body slam. It also doubles power.

[@chrisf.9595]

Another great video from my favorite nuzlocketuber, AltariaHG

[@Karomix3]

That Gardevoir teleporting away was such a mood, like it read their minds about the soullink nuzlocke and said nope I'm outtie. XD

[@Hats502]

These soul links are a lot of fun to watch and it really adds to team building strategies

[@ZexalDSJAsh]

Well, with how Litwick is meant to drain your life force when nearby, it only makes sense it drives you insane during this run. XD

[@mahumia]

I've been watching several of the nuzlocke videos and I have to say that I greatly admire how relaxed and open you are about it. No flipping tables because you lose a pokemon, especially during a soullink, is very wholesome in my book. Maybe it is just me, but people making a lot of drama might make it 'fun to watch' for a lot of people, but I just think it is annoying and overreacting XD Please continue playing in the way YOU like playing.

[@rockhardsausage]

I'm not a big randomizer fan but I did enjoy this more than any other Collab you have done. Soul link was fun for sure

[@Gaterdesignstudio]
