Monotype Hardcore Nuzlocke Ruleset:
(1) If a Pokémon faints, it must be permanently boxed or released.
(2) Only the first type-specific Pokémon encountered in each Route/Area can be caught.
(3) No Legendaries/Mythicals, duplicates, or same-evolution-line Pokémon can be caught or used. If a duplicate is encountered, the next unique type-specific Pokémon encounter can be caught.
(4) Additional Pokémon may be caught for the purpose of HM use, but these may not be used in battle at any time during the run.
(5) No Items can be used in battle (Held Items are allowed).
(6) Party Pokémon levels are limited to the highest level Pokémon of the next Gym Leader or Elite 4 Member. So long as your Pokémon are at or below the level cap when the Gym Leader/Elite 4 Member battle starts, they can level up mid-battle.
(7) "Set" Battle Mode must be used at all times.
(8) No connecting with other games for the purposes of importing Pokémon, Items, etc.

Any update for the true power series?

I’m having a blast with that game, I had a feeling that would be the sponsor

Please please please can you carry on creating the regional True Power Tournaments??

[@montelvontaviouspore]

That's how i discovered your channel all that time ago... and if you're worried about the amount of views they were getting, just remember you only had around 50k subs. So you'll be releasing them to a much larger audience now and i'm sure it will help your subscribers and fans to go watch the other regional tournaments that are a must-see for Every Pokemon fan

That’s awesome any news on the sinnoh true power series ?

Two videos in like 5 days? What did we ever do to deserve this treat

[@BestFoodReviewFeatured]

Because he has a sponsor

Silph, you treat us too well!

Silph, I just wanted to say thanks for all of your hilarious, quality content over the years. I’m really looking forward to your future projects and hope this helps along the way!

[@SilphSpectre]

WOW - thanks so much my friend, that's insanely generous of you. I appreciate the support a lot and it will most certainly go a long way! Lots of work going on in the background on the secret major project 😄

Man, that double battle against those 2 Sunkern was nearly a run killer

Same, I was on the edge of my seat!

[@mrperson9838]

most anxiety inducing part of the run

silph gotta be the most entertaining nuzlocker fr, every video is a banger ❤

[@SilphSpectre]

That's very kind of you, thank you for the support!!

[@kisslevente4109]

Alder must have been the Headbutt tutor in Ilex forest this whole time. Came a long way becoming Unova champion. I'm proud of him.:')

[@Dan55888]

Mmmm half of Alders original team is also bug type... just like the closest gym leader to the forest... (I actually thought he was considered a bug type champion until I just looked up bug type on bulbapedia but he's not even mentioned on the bug page)

[@kisslevente4109]

@@Dan55888 I didn't even realize lol It all comes togather:D

[@KuroDokueki]

I'm so glad that Volcarona got to be such a clutch member. I adore it, it's one of my favorite mons ever. So seeing it do well heals my heart.

[@brettlovely2012]

I really appreciate seeing how Silph's youtube skills have improved over time. I just recently went back to watch some of his earlier episodes as a helpful distraction to fall asleep too and the quality of the jokes, video editing/sfx and even just the general pacing or flow of the episodes has noticeably, maybe even vastly, improved.

[@joshuamora1093]

Explaining the decision tree @ 17:00 is amazing bro I literally got hype when you explained that it’s like that’s what’s needed to teach the next gen 🎉

[@cullenhutchison6528]

As you were sweeping through Grimsley, your attack kept on getting lower and lower because of Superpower's secondary effect. It didn't matter this time, but it's something to keep in mind. Earlier in the video as well, you missed a KO due to the attack drop from Superpower that you thought you had calculated for.

[@seifer447]

The Alder headbutt and hairgel jokes got me pretty good. I can't believe you can keep coming up with fresh material after all these runs.

[@blakeschwab7518]

fire types do tend have bad defensive stats but also quite a few resistances, excited to see how this one plays out.

[@ianaustin595]

Silph where you at dawg??

[@ykali00]

27:16 love the caleb reference 😂😂

[@CormacThunderStar]

Great news! Drayano found a way to bypass the mandatory pokestar studio bit and replaced with a pretty cool fight instead

[@bandit2366]

Honkai star Rail really becoming the new Raid Shadow Legends

[@LattWest]

Im laughing so hard at magmar's back sprite animation. Dude is throwing his hands in the air like he just don't care

[@BlueCyanid]

35:25 Technically Krookodile lowered Darmanitan's attack to +4, since Superpower against Liepard lowered it to +5

[@poochy2479]

he didn't use superpower on liepard, he used fire punch

[@BlueCyanid]

​@@poochy2479 True. My bad 😅

[@sleepychickadee4087]

How am I only NOW finding your channel?! I’ve been watching nuzlocke videos for years!

[@yamiryushi]

Well your Iris battle shows why I love Volcarona so much. I fell in love with the fluffy moth first I saw it and when I saw how powerful it was it just increased it ten fold!

[@vinceamoyo627]

This is the only pokemon nuzzlocke channel that I like. I always feel happy when you upload a new video! I love the editing and the way you deliver the story! Keep up the good job ❤

[@antlerman7644]

Magmarjoe is great

[@potitishogun2961997]

Comparing your run with FlygonHG's White 2 Fire types only run, it's interesting how this challenge could be tackled in two different and unique ways, probably even more! Shows just how versatile Fire types are 😌 Altho those Confuse Rays sure got lucky at a few points ;) GG's either way! This challenge is hard AF haha

[@chofoslive18]

That final battle shows exactly what I love about fire type Pokemon, they can be really powerful

[@UnwantedGhost1]

I see Silph is still sad about Ash's retirement. He's not alone. Great nuzlocke video as always, by the way.

[@beenjammin2000]

“Ready to rock and roll?” Silph:I do not rock and roll. I burn.

[@whatthebeardoin3160]

I clicked on this run because I was excited to see Heatmor used in a Gen 5 nuzlocke, one of my favorite oddball pokemon. Only to immediately hear it wasn't available. My disappointment is immeasurable, and I cry forever. Keep up with the great content, Silph!

[@ASG-ky9uj]

Darmanitan is a orangutan not a gorilla.

[@legopizza8063]

Maybe for your next run you can do that fusion game going around? Or do sun with ground types maybe

[@CoffeeFlavoredMilk]

Darmanitan is stupid good in the Unova games in general so its no surprise it ended up pulling a lot of weight here. Volcarona sweeping Iris single-handedly was also quite nice.

[@AliLiz91]

Wasn't expecting another video today! Looking forward to seeing the fire type in action for this one (: Thank you, Silph ☺️

[@cesarflamenco9484]

Another great run. Lot if powerhouses in this run that it was so entertaining to see a lot of them steam roll through the trainers. Man, it seems no matter what team is used for an Unova run, Marshall is consistently a problem every time.

[@zacharymcvicker5820]

I swear, I could listen to this man read the dictionary! He has such a fantastic voice, and breathes so much energy into his work! I love your videos, Silph! Keep being the coolest Nuzlocker on YT!

[@carlospolk5033]

27:10 lol didn’t expect a CalebCity meme but I’ll definitely take it 🤣

[@zimonzieclown1633]

Two videos in one week? You're spoiling us, Silph.

[@MegaInfernapeAkins]

Great run dude. The way you sweep the whole team at the end was great. Keep up the success on your channel bro.

[@Bladee__]

Can you make dream radar pokemon only hardcore nuzlocke ?

[@raveneffectnevermore1995]

Going through these videos to watch them all since I found Silph. Fire types are my favorite!

[@griz507x]

I always love when you do gen 5 Nuzlockes, either randomiser monotype or just a normal one, keep up the good work and I'll be waiting till you do every type in b/w a d b2/w2🙏

[@DrPotatoSkins]

Always glad to see Silph videos pop up on my front page, and I'm glad you found a way to use my favorite Pokemon, Arcanine, real well. Loved the run. I was wondering if you would ever go back to doing Hardcore Nuzlockes with the region's strongest Legendaries. I'm curious how easily/awfully Rayquaza handles the Hoenn region.

[@sarahbridge630]

I am speechless because its impossible to describe how goated u r and my brother loved watching u before he passed at the age of 13

[@ShlurmyMcbeckerman]

Sorry for your loss Your brother had good taste

[@willie153]

I love your nuzlockes so much, it’d be awesome to see you try a HC nuzlocke in challenge mode for this game as I think it’d be a fun challenge

This was legit my first ever Pokémon game, and I love it to bits Glad to see more nuzlocke content on it

[@JJ-qz1dg]

I don't know if it's just me but for monolocks I love seeing the routes and not just going straight into what the encounter is as I love testing my memory or getting surprised there is a Pokemon I didn't know about

Numel is a white 2 exclusive the black 2 exclusive is spoink line

[@grantrude9612]

Istg 5% encounters can be terrible sometimes. It took me 2 hours to find a stufful in my first sun run

[@logan847653]

This might be my favorite team ive seen from your nuzlockes awesome stuff!

[@mikhailsanchez3105]

Black and white 2 are the best freaking games in all the main series, from the story, to the sound tracks, to the sprites, to the pokemon introduced. You can't change my mind.

[@Jarvachu]

This is more like it!!!! My Sunday routine back to normal!! 🔥🙌😂

[@Armmmand]

The joke on Heatmor at the start got me good

[@MrTiggeroo22]

Yes! my favorite gen of the series. Silph you always seem to post just what i wanna watch lol but I have a question. Could you do some more gen 1 or 2 runs?

[@ashleydedman9416]

Hey Silph, I love your videos I always wait for the next one, I’m planing to do my own nuzlock; perhaps you could upload more nuzlock videos with sword, shield, scarlet and violet maybe with a few more random Pokémon nuzlocks. Maybe do some videos with a single Pokémon from beginning to end.

[@Thecodered75]

Random concept for a challenge video, Use pokemon that can learn moves of the opposite type of the pokemon and make it a nuzlocke. Ex: gyarados using the move flamethrower… and so on and so forth… A creative nuzlocke challenge i know, thank me later.

[@Naxhus2]

"I thought that fire types would just be all offensive power to make up for relative frailty but this run really showed me you can strategise with them a lot" Final rival + Elite 4 + champion: Belly drum sweep Expert belt sweep Belly drum sweep Expert belt sweep 3 swaps Quiver dance sweep

[@davidshowalter120]

That was sick. Period. Loved that run.

Love the b&w play through. Reminds me of of the childhood

Nice! A second vid this week. Keep it up Silph

[@roguerocket99]

two fire nuzlockes two days in a row I am blessed

[@americanmann123]

Love it even these come out each week. ❤

[@MegaGeewee]

2:28 Pete, as in the saying "for Pete's sake", is Saint Peter, guardian of the Pearly Gates and one of the 12 apostles of Jesus. This implies quite a bit about the lore of the Pokemon world, such as the existence of the Roman Empire, the Catholic Church, and a Pope. Will we ever see a Poke-Pope? What's the church's stance on Ghost types that seem to explicitly be human spirits like Yamask and Phantump? Which pokemon are safe to eat during Lent? All these questions and more will never be answered.

[@wanderlustwarrior]

Definitely appreciated the Caleb clip!

[@acriolu]

Early as I could! Fire types are underrated tho, excited about this Silph Nuzlocke.

[@joeyteter9383]

Also, just played a run through Black and used Simisear for the first time. It was surprisingly fun and good in my experience. Also also, I really like and miss rotation battles

[@Bizzoizzo]

Am I the only one that thinks that Emboar and Magmortar looks related somehow? Despite one being a pig and the other one a weird looking duck! Great video btw 🔥

[@SonKunSama]

Dude you should play some Drayano or other vanilla + hacks, of course monotype isn't required there as they are hard enough already! I for one would love to see it. Upvote if you agree.

[@TooCoolforaName]

Haha Silph what even was that clip of the guy on the bicycle carving lines into the wall with his hair XD
