[@Brandon-ct1qj]

I have a cool idea. After each nuzlocke we should vote mvp of the run

[@kam_12_]

that would be lit

[@t3adrunk]

Benson MVP

[@louisg7475]

Then follow that up with a yearly MVP nuzlocke where he’s only allowed to grab Pokémon that were nominated MVP in community polls

[@OleSamSeed]

He used to do mvps

[@domenicavallone28]

And then he could do an MVP nuzlocke with all the winner!

[@DefianceGJ]

holy shit combee immediately coming in and getting crit is fucking taking me out omg💀💀💀

[@Jajanken98]

You went hardcore on this one, not catching Wurmple before Roark was crazy

[@PedroHenrique-mk5zi]

It's time to delelelewhoop.

[@LinkZero64]

Cynthia's Roserade felt a tad insulted at the end that you tried to finish it with a Combee lmao

[@eliazzparra4679]

Literally rushed to this video as soon as I got the notification lmao 💪🏼💪🏼 best way to get my gym session in 😁😁

[@Chiranjibi_Chaudhary]

Glad to see you back Silph! Hope this nuzlocke is as interesting and amazing as your old nuzlockes. And Good Work.

[@AquibMohammedAyman]

26:38 Infernape did 50 damage with its first flame wheel. So a blaze boost means yanmega would have taken 75 damage. A high roll without a critical hit might have knocked out your bug anyway

[@benjaminseelking9483]

Well, only thing i can say is, i would have gone for a Snd-cloak Wormadam, to better cover Fire and Electric. In particular since Scizor has the Steeltype allready

[@Kento617]

I get what you’re saying in the sense of type variation, but I think going the trash cloak route may have been the best way to go about it; heck it may have been the only way

[@ibuprophenom2781]

2 minutes ago feels illegal - rarely im this early. noice! Love your style of narration and your voice - soothing somehow, some of the best videos to just keep in the backround on the 2nd screen

[@ThePokeTran]

Really loved this run so much fun throughout. Always love seeing underused pokemon in action

[@justinduffany5580]

I’m curious why you didn’t catch a Wurmple on Route 204.

[@Julio_Cezar1604]

Yeah, Beautifly's absorb would have helped

[@icetrae6399]

Species clause doesn't allow that

[@foodman0388]

I mean props to him for beating the first gym with a freaking krikitune but yeah a potential beautifly would have made that so much easier.

[@zealotonaiur1585]

Beautifly is getting rolled by rock types since it is quad weak to rock moves, so a single rock throw would have been game over from the start, even with absorb.

[@zealotonaiur1585]

@@Julio_Cezar1604 probably not with it being quad weak to rock throw

[@MegaHerpthederp]

I needed my Silph this SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY

[@BiBiGaming13]

I still find it hilarious that Barry, the one rival who is Infamous for being Inpatient managed to find the correct tree and wait 6 hours for a Muchlax .

[@stealst]

Great music and editing choices in this one, Silph. Janet was so surprisingly clutch!

[@tobiassposato9740]

17:57 “QUIT WHILE YOURE AHEAD. BUCKO” is crazy 🤣

[@Kitagawa_Senpai]

I almost couldn't read it. Good lord my eyes

[@AZV0108]

I could read almost the entire thing except the last word, even squinting my eyes so hard I couldn't read what was that las word 😂

[@bophadesnutz1227]

21:15 Shadow of the Colossus music got me in my nostalgia

[@iremiagaming]

You're really improving the quality of these videos. Great work.

[@JokerSpirit160]

Ooo you know how long I’ve been waiting for this? Woo, Silph’s gonna make a name for himself out here!

[@GravyGame]

Always great to get this notification! Love your content! I just completed my first ever Nuzlocke and was inspired to do so by your videos! Keep it up!

[@flamenny9936]

This takes me back to that solo Kricketot run you attempted years ago, oh how time flies

[@OGCeej]

Any time Silph drops a hardcore nuzlocke video, I stop what I'm doing to watch it.

[@payne1727]

This dude needs more subs. Great videos to just listen to during long drives

[@ToyBonnieVentRabbit]

Honestly i feel bad for the folks not paying attention, cuz the dialogue edits be funny af 😂

[@garrbigster]

I just tried doing my first Nuzlocke on BDSP and I have to admit I got absolutely wrecked at the second gym to Gardenia’s Roserade. Props to you Silph for doing these as well as you do, it’s all the more impressive!

[@TheCasualHazeFox]

Benson, I will forever remember you. Not for what you accomplished in life but rather, the life you had. Ah, actually, that one accomplishment you had right at the end, it reminds me why the females of your species are far stronger. Yep, that's it for Benson. The finest eulogy I can give to him. Rest in pieces after that extrasensory critical annihilation. You won't be missed but we will all remember you.

[@staffordread2351]

Really enjoyed everything about this run, Skill, planning, and strategy and being a bug type!

[@definetly_that_guy]

Scizor is so good. Always exciting to watch that beautifully designed metallic fly

[@gonzoxp]

Leonard Dicaprio's lost and confused brother Delilio. 😂😂

[@nightcore_meraki3043]

I love how we all laugh like J. Jonah Jameson at berrys face! Lmao

[@Tazekh]

Silph is one of my favorite Pokemon nuzlocke players, they got nothing on him

[@dustinhuxley466]

Rock doesn't resist bug, and neither does ground. Love the video. I suck at nuzlockes, so I live vicariously through you, Antler, and flygon.

Have been eagerly waiting for a new drop, perfect end to a Sunday - Thanks Silph!

[@nzardoin]

Absolutely great video Silph!. The bug and steel challenges are my favorites!

[@alexpajot4224]

How did you “choice specs boosted ancient power” then switch to Aerial Ace?

[@TheBigCrabber]

I did this run before! Super fun! Love your stuff bro.

[@deceptionz_]

Platinum is so goated

[@Rhmtsky]

Lmao combee gets into hall of fame by just doing nothing 😂. Shows up once then dead immediately, what a chad 😂

[@LeMelleKH2]

That Benson moment was HILARIOUSSSS

[@RonnieFirth]

I’ve been waiting for your next upload. I absolutely love your content.

[@Iispj]

Glad to see you back! Also is that ys music I hear? Even better

[@Miro_X]

man the luck on those IVs is ROUGH on that 2nd and 3rd attempt for kricketune.

Hey silph can you please use ice types in Pokemon X or Y I wanna see how strong the ice types can preform love❤your content please keep it up

A big fan of the editing in this video! Looking forward to the next one 😊

[@zaneradka1686]

i ALWAYS look forward to my pre-work sunday Silph vid.

[@jorgealarcon6503]

i think that Benson was the highest level combee I've ever seen XD

[@nyleo04]

26:14 if it was Choice Specs how did you switch to Aerial Ace right after?

[@Perculian]

In gen 4 when yanmega uses ancient power it negates choice specs limiting the I'm just making this up, he probably just misspoke.

[@juvene6]

I had the same thought, if it wasn't specs what was it? Hard stone? It wasn't life orb and he does have an item equipped

[@Perculian]

@@juvene6 silver powder or wise glasses I think

[@ashleydedman9416]

I needed this to motivate myself to finish my Pokemon Scarlet fire Nuzlock with the ultimate goal of completing the main game including taking on team star, lurking titans area Zero and the two DLC storylines as well.. I also need to finish my nuzlock for Pokemon X

[@viperific3410]

it was so weird (but good) hearing shadow of the collosus music in this lmao

[@tjepic5256]

Would love to see a split evolution nuzlocke were you can only use pokemon that have split evolutions/different forms upon evolving.

[@kamikazenights58]

Cynthia was NOT getting her championship title revoked like that

[@Jillybear265]

I'm happy you upload, luv the vids!

[@SilphSpectre]

Glad you're enjoying, thanks for the support!

[@oliverthomas-couch]

Bug and Normal are my two favourite types so I love seeing either of them appear. I actually used a kriketune on my team to win the league.

[@ShelbysCraftyBooks]

Yes! Give those little bugs some love!

[@Jarvachu]

Silph... o'clock?! we've been blessed

[@supremeoverlordfallen5]

44:06 Hey Heracross don't take away Combee's spot like that.

[@andreidavitoiu9138]

Absolutely amazing videos silph! My favourite comfort watches

[@fruitpunchsamuraidavid]

Fun video as usual!! I'm currently on my 2nd attempt of a bug only Pokérogue challenge! "Quit while you're ahead, bucko" is that the correct answer for the Unown message?

[@Zenithal1843]

Always a good time when you’re playing the best Pokèmon game

[@elkk1246]

"Choice specs boosted ancient power" then uses an aerial ace?

[@_TRIMMREAPPER_]

Oh My Sweet Silphe I just looked last night and woke up blessed with a post‼️

[@official80sdope51]

Intro animation leveled up my guy 😮‍💨

[@woutvandekaart8927]

Thank god heracross was faster then flint his entire team or else that would be bad😅😂😂 Jeez last.cyrus battle was brutal

[@theavatarofinsanity]

Gotta apreciate that you allowed Benson to at least try and do something against Roserade. Even though it didn't work.

[@AliLiz91]

This is gonna be a good one (: I really like Beautifly for some reason. It's not my favorite Bug Pokémon but I like it (:

[@comtejc]

That Cyrus Distorsion World fight was insane

[@airimee]

Ngl. Though Gen 4 really did expand on good bug Pokemon. But I refuse to play a bug lock before Gen 5. So more power to you lol

[@georgewells8585]

I absolutely love bug type, could even be one of my fav types

[@SonnyJones93]

Sunday Morning Silph ♥️

[@spencerbraby1049]

I know I'm being pedantic here, but in the Canalave rival fight wasn't his Yanmega going to die regardless of a crit due to blaze? Or does blaze not activate on the same turn Infernape is hit down to below one third?

[@kurdaddy614]

Great video like usual silph sorry you couldn’t use yanmega it’s one of my favorite bug types 😊

[@levistokes3960]

I adore Kriketot and Kritetune. I actually used one all the way to the champion in BDSP. Kritetune can use parish song now. It was responsible for beating cynthias garchomp via parish song. After it fainted of course, but still was useful.

[@ericgutierrez812]

You should attempt a hardcore nuzlocke with one if not all 3 of the Legacy games from smith plays! Those will Mos Def be challenging! But entertaining

[@jakobschiek9513]

I think a bit of editing magic to let Benson get the win would have been okay

[@ThomazSDA]

I did mono Bug in Platinum using the worst Bugs I could fine, while still sticking to gen 4, which was Kricketune, all three types of Wormadam, Vespiquen and Mothim. That was absolutely the most fun I've had in ANY run I've done. Unfortunately, I wasn't aware of Hardcore Nuzlockes rules back then (this was YEARS ago), so I battled Roark using just Kricketune at level 18 with Sing. I actually want to redo this run now (not as a nuzlocke though) but use the Hardcore rules instead. And of course, the same team, because you have to be so incredibly crafty with a team like that haha. Natural Gift berries where the saving grace in that run. In a Nuzlocke, you don't tend to go for these kind of things, but I will be collecting the Metronome item from Kricketot, which powers up Fury Cutter for example by an insane amount. Should be a lot of fun. Will definitely record! All in order of Dr Deledelewoooop.

[@SonicMeters]

I love this run really fun

[@eerieeric834]

It would be cool to see you do a play through using only fossil type Pokémon

[@nickdangelo43]

I would love to see a nuzlock with only MIDDLE STAGE evolutions

[@anthonyanglemyer]

Good to see you. Something I wanna ask of you: What's the word on the WBL? Still waiting on that one.

[@SilphSpectre]

Coming back soon!! Don't have an exact date, but very early Feb is looking to be the case ☺ Appreciate your patience!

[@skyrogue1977]

Would a Platinum Nuzlocke be done with just Gen 1 or Gen 4 Pokémon?

[@texasgaming7457]

Man, Benson didn't deserve it. He's just a chill 🐝

[@tonyhigh6058]

Okay someone help me please. For guts, why isn’t poison strictly better than burn? They both give the boost, but doesn’t burn reduce physical attacks? So wouldn’t poison be a strictly better boost?

From what i read, burn doesnt affect the guts ability
