I thought it was going to be rock-hard but ended up being a lot easier than I'd have guessed! Aerodactyl is such a beast! GG

[@zappokemonchallenges]

Aerodactyl is great, omanyte carried though

[@faytleingod1851]

Here from pchal's channel. Nice use of rock, a very overlooked type and early generations I would think impossible but you prove me wrong. I thought Aerodactyl for Erika but realized you made better choice not knowing omastar gets ice beam and blizzard. Kabutops will sadly never be loved. Helix gang all the way.

[@zappokemonchallenges]

Sadly kabuto is inferior to our savior lord helix!!

[@mechajason]

Sorry there Lord helix as much as I love you I’m gonna have to join your Grim Reaper cousin over there

[@JeanVlogDandamme]

Kabutops FTW beeotch 😎

[@faytleingod1851]

@@JeanVlogDandamme I believe every Pokemon has a spot light somewhere. Its just odd having the fossils where one is clearly superior. Omastar with shell armor. white herb paired with shell smash into ice beam, surf, ancient power is high def and offense. Kabutops with choice band and swift swim are good in rain... But I feel I either never use a rain team and when I do it doesn't involve kabutops. X-scissors, night slash all good physical. Waterfall in the rain. Stone edge is nice and powerful. Pretty much all offense and fast in rain.

[@mechajason]

I’ve never watched your videos before, but this is the first time, and you know what drew me to this video actually was the fact that you’re using rock types and Lord Helixs himself

[@zappokemonchallenges]

Awesome, welcome in

[@mechajason]

@@zappokemonchallenges The next run If you’re interested, I wanna see how you do with a fighting challenge in this game

[@zappokemonchallenges]

Fighting in fire red, good challenge.

[@ivanbluecool]

Cool found this vid in my recommendations. This was the exact challenge I wanted to see.

[@zappokemonchallenges]

Awesome, welcome in!

[@ivanbluecool]

@@zappokemonchallenges thanks for having me. I quite enjoy nuzlockes even if I don't play Pokemon much anymore

[@zappokemonchallenges]

Very fun to watch, I watched a bunch then decided to try them myself

[@ivanbluecool]

@@zappokemonchallenges oh definitely. Started seeing them when it was first starting to get big and boy did it grow so huge after that time.

[@ouannoi9315]

Great vid but its a pity not to see kabutop showoff

[@zappokemonchallenges]

I should have just made it an encounter in the burned mansion

[@benobrien111]

crazy good run man keep it up

[@zappokemonchallenges]

Thank you

[@michaelclark2458]

Great challenge concept. I feel like rock was afterthought in gen 1 except for the fossils. You did good on this one

[@zappokemonchallenges]

It does seem like an after thought. I loved this run, glad you enjoyed it

[@michaelclark2458]

@@zappokemonchallenges yeah it’s almost just fossil type 😂

[@tsawy6]

Rock types are super important in game as teaching tools for understanding type matchups! And Rhyhorn is a really good mon in competitive. I would argue geodude is much much better than aerodactyl in gen 1, its moveset is /rubbish/

[@rjagad]

27:38 there is a team rocket edition of firered and it's actually quite fun as well as interesting story wise.

[@zappokemonchallenges]

Played through that a few times now, love the story

[@JeanVlogDandamme]

This one is a blast. Getting to use Alakazam at lvl 30 reminds you how disgusting it is 🤣

[@chefgrizz6284]

If it makes it more fun for you. I would allow all encounters if a)the type isn’t great and b) encounters are limited

[@zappokemonchallenges]

Think that's exactly what I'm going to do. More fun all around

[@PlayStationGMR]

Out comes Abra Hokas Kadabra Pokas Alakazam

[@zappokemonchallenges]

Yeah

[@stevenbarbosa6982]

Lol money, Pokémon, tv 😂

[@zappokemonchallenges]

🤣

[@timothyclarke50]

Have you done emerald kiazo? Would you consider it? I’m in a normal run playing for the first time and BOY it’s tough

[@zappokemonchallenges]

Emerald kaizo is a bit unbalanced from what I remember, a nuzlocke would be a pain lol

[@timothyclarke50]

@@zappokemonchallenges yeah I can definitely see that lmao

[@zappokemonchallenges]

I've ran crystal kaizo and it was a bit more balanced

[@PlayStationGMR]

I knew it!

[@ItsFireTiger]

I thought you got a fossil in Mt. Moon, or do you mean where the Fossil Revives? Cause I thought it happened in a City like in HGSS... Saffron City? idk but it was one of the big cities of Kanto

[@zappokemonchallenges]

You get 1 of 2 fossils in Mt. Moon. You get the old amber in pewter city at the museum, after you can use cut outside of battle, the fossils are revived on cinnabar Island. The "met at" in the pokemon description will say cinnabar island

[@ItsFireTiger]

@@zappokemonchallenges Ah ok

[@zappokemonchallenges]

With all the rules, we would only get 1 fossil but swapping the starter makes a nicer run imo

[@ItsFireTiger]

@@zappokemonchallenges Yes of course, I've seen some who did runs like this but didn't change their starter It was HGSS Bug Type and they didn't use a (Spinarak,Weedle,Caterpie,Ledyba) as their starter. Out of these it'd be advisable to use Weedle/Caterpie as your starter depending on the version as you can get the opposite soon and also Spinarak/Lebyba depending on the time of day all before Falkner. Then you have Heracross in Azalea Town, Paras in Ilex Forest, Scyther is before Pryce I think, Venonat is after Whitney I think. Yanma & Pineco are Headbutt Trees yeah? Shuckle is gifted to you in Cianwood. So that leaves Pinsir as your Bug Catching Contest Mon. But I think you'd want to have Scyther & Venonat before doing the Bug Catching Contest to garuntee the Pinsir. Am I missing anyone? Maybe, idk

[@zappokemonchallenges]

Not sure, haven't looked at a bug run of HGSS, I have done a bug run in Emerald and Fire Red
