CAN I BEAT A POKÉMON HEARTGOLD HARDCORE NUZLOCKE WITH ONLY FIGHTING TYPES!? (Pokémon Challenge)

[@SilphSpectre]

Hey all! Just wanna say a huge thank you to everyone watching the videos, subscribing, leaving a like... you guys have been blowing me away with the support! Hope you enjoy this run - was a tough one that took me two weeks to complete but was a ton of fun. Huge thanks again to Raid for supporting the channel, check the game out using our link! clik.cc/682Nb 💥

[@gemgodds8433]

Congrats Sliph!

[@bedermanben1595]

The wait was well worth it!

[@santiagocarretero2825]

Great vídeo!!!! Also, You can get Shroomish by headbutt in veridian forest... Just so you know

[@benjaminschnieders417]

Are we ever going to see the return of the True Power series? With the Sinnoh remakes well behind us now, I couldn't even begin to tell you how badly I want to see that! I love these monotype runs, but I always figured they were just a series for in the meantime. Pleeeeeaaaaaase do the Gen 4 True Power videos and Tournament!

[@jacegallagher8589]

LMAO I'm American and have always spelled it as "grey". Nobody has ever corrected me on it.

[@Sam-hl3km]

Speaking on behalf of everyone , never stop these sunday monotype videos. Honestly one of the major highlights of my week. Keep up the good work x

[@yeetmaster75]

At first, I didn't read the "never"

[@mattdillon2508]

Also these pokemon challenges that no one ever tried before like electric types or other niche types in these types of pokemon games its just a gem to watch honestly :)

[@zttaylorfitness6637]

For real. Every time I see a new silph video, I’m stoked!

[@tristanmurfin7503]

I'll agree to that

[@joshsmallwood4379]

Yas I agree

[@HersheyandStuff]

I really like that you started giving yourself a starter in many of these runs. I think it's more interesting.

[@michaeldoran4367]

HARRY BALLZSACK FLOPPING AROUND IN THE TAINT REGION

[@LeKornorBros]

About the Safari Zone encounter, Riolu didn't actually cut off Breloom, as Shroomish can be found in Viridian Forest via headbutting trees. Just a fun fact ^^

[@smilodnfatalis55]

Why doesn't anyone ever rematch the Elite Four before Red? They're crazy battles, Lance now has all 3 pseudo-legendary dragons in the level 70's. I'd love to see that in the next run. Great video as always Silph! RIP Ronda

[@seandonnellan5980]

For hardcore nuzlockes, that creates a massive hurdle for the sake of training for Red.

[@wonderfulrose477]

Lance’s kryptonite is a Weavile

[@kleitos6162]

That's a terrible idea for nuzlockes unless you have a death wish.

[@cthethird9594]

@@kleitos6162 no it would be a cool extra challenge for the content

[@modelomegatyler]

@@cthethird9594 that is unnecessary and could easily wipe you, especially when your as limited as you are here.

[@RedMadMichael]

I cant wrap my head around the fact that you have one ready every week. Playing an entire pokemon game where so much planning and weird things are required must already be a lot but top it off with writing the script and editing (there might be an editor though, but still)... well lets just say that i admire you a lot.

[@stokeyarcanum5754]

Holy crap I didn't actually realize how much went into these. I'm an dumb lol

[@nin_xxl871]

SILPH SUNDAYS are always the best part of the week 😤🤧. Thanks for making another AMAZING video Silph!

[@BernardoWLopes]

KZbin's been a savior in terms of managing my stress and anxiety in med school and your nuzlocke videos are the perfect balance of humour, nostalgia and this strange calmness, can't really describe it. Hope you keep doing content for a long time, man.

[@KiKekkosa]

Best of luck in med school! ...I was gonna say I hope you're gonna kill it but probably not the best recommendation for a future healthcare worker

[@nablamakabama488]

In my experience hitting 2 out of 5 focus blasts is a very normal rate. That move is called focus miss for a reason.

[@alexsend7096]

As stated 'If it's not 100% , it's 50%'

[@remhauck1577]

Never get tired of Heartgold runs, my favorite pokemon game.

[@CharlieZColt]

HitmonChan is an absolute beast but I’m always sad that my boy Hitmontop never gets used

[@guineveress]

It's because hitmonchan and hitmonlee are more common evolutions

[@colbymeeks8626]

The real mvp of the run was Wade for making it all possible

[@MrMacdaddymcfly]

I really enjoy these small edits to impossible runs to make them playable.

[@ninacochrane569]

Also, cackling at the "Second hand gold digging" bit. That's such an amazing joke.

[@norbelarchilla5578]

That's two Adamant Medichamps in two different runs, sweet jesus this guy has guts

[@TruBluLew23]

I find it funny that you finally got around to doing a Fighting Type run in Heartgold as that was one of the first runs I ever did myself on a randomizer. It was super fun too! Keep up the good work bro! :D

[@jthecaffeinatedcrow6456]

28:39 Fun fact. Ronda Rousey once said her ideal type combination is Dragon/Water

[@poltp]

Love when you go the extra mile to defeat Red in this games. Awesome video!!!

[@cloverissolucky]

Here's the challenge I'm going to give you; Make a hardcore Nuzlocke using only ´´Animals´´ Pokemon (like Noctowl, which is evidently an owl. )

[@Iconicbeyy]

This run had me on the edge of my seat when Ronda went down I lost it !!! Good run

[@nickvahey9205]

Hey Silph, awesome vid! A tip though: You could have gotten Mankey BEFORE beating Morty. You can actually cross to the other side of the water by running through the cave! No HM's required! Hope this helps for future Johto Runs (my favorite, by the way!)

[@nzardoin]

This was one of the most clutch runs you’ve done in a while! Great work. Your theory crafting is really top notch

[@luisdanielacosta6363]

I hope someone translate this. Primero que nada perdón que comente en español, pero es que en inglés no consigo las palabras adecuadas. ME ENCANTAN tus videos. Es súper divertido ver tus nuzlockes, y espero que de verdad sigas subiendo este gran contenido a la plataforma. Y en lo personal además de entretenido, debo confesar que tus videos me ayudan un montón a combatir el insomnio, a veces no puedo dormir nada por culpa de eso pero tus videos son tan relajantes que me ayudas a poder conciliar el sueño de mejor manera, así que gracias mil también por eso. Lot of love to you

[@JesseNightingale]

That thumbnail is funny cause I was just looking at Lucarios movepool because Im bored then I see it in the thumbnail lol

[@3toedpoli469]

The Machop is actually available from the Rugged Road PokeWalker course, so there was no need to justify the start with the Drowzee trade :D

[@a_Leappy]

You can catch a slowpoke, and level it up to level 25, when it learns headbutt. After that, you can headbutt trees for Heracross, technically making Heracross the first fighting type encounter. (ik nobody asked its still a great video anyways and i love when you end these runs at red)

[@chiragravishankar7061]

His videos are amazing! The nostalgia of heartgold ,his humor is top notch. Thank you Silph. You're amazing.

[@Amelia4111]

YOU CANNOT DO A SPACE BEFORE THE COMMA!

Really cool encounters in this one, love it

Dropping some legendary names into a fittingly apt fighting-pokemon run. You have my respect sir.

[@LePonchoPenguin]

Thank you for these videos. They're super chill to listen to.

[@joshuakattic4648]

Man I was literally looking through your playlists to see if you uploaded something new because I’ve watched all your nuzlockes 😂 Thanks for taking the time to upload these vids my bro, appreciated by all of us 🙏🏽

[@tylerfowler5070]

Incredible run! Love you and your weekly videos! Was worried when there wasn’t one last week but after seeing this it was totally worth the wait!

[@adamhotsauce4177]

This is one of my favorite nuzlockes I’ve seen so far! Love the fact you named the mons after ufc fighters too

[@TStarman21]

Great run! Fighting has some great type combos and it’s always great to see them shown off like this

[@bedermanben1595]

I absolutely love your content, thank you! So glad I found your channel last year, it’s been a lot of fun. More Johto videos! Have a good one Silph, and keep it rolling!

[@Shaepworick]

“That’s right, I’m a sellout.” I’ve watched this Nuzlocke before, just love your content so I don’t mind rewatching one when it’s recommended but Jesus I don’t why this time that line killed me 😂😂😂 never stop being you, Silph

[@Thorozak]

I’m looking at these encounters confused by how you’re supposed to get these, I know a huge amount of mons available in this game but this is gonna be good

[@dannyvanasch4157]

Your narration, editing, skill. They're always a joy to watch and everytime I think I know everything you teach me something new about these games. Absolutely love the content!

[@austincaranci235]

Love the content man always gets me through the ends of my night shifts

[@hikaru818]

I just wanted to say that I wouldn't mind at all if you repeated the rules every time at the beginning, it kind of gets me pumped lol! Anyway, glad you're back, hope moving went well!

[@ZachJ-0]

Personally, my preference is they're skipped at this point. To each their own, right?

[@justinwalters9063]

@SilphSpectre thank you for doing these runs I love watching them and being deployed this makes one day out the week exciting. Keep up the work I can't wait to see more from you.

[@colevitiritto8976]

this was one of your most entertaining runs, love the team build

[@13JackStorm]

I'm British and I never knew which way around Grey and Gray were. Machop = "Iceman" Chuck Liddell? Poliwag = "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey Riolu = Forrest Griffin Meditite = Shogun Rua (I think I spelled that right)

[@Necrostevo]

Thanks for uploading these! Your narration style and editing is a pleasure to watch.

[@Wynntersenk6017]

I really love your monotype nuzlocke runs, please never stop

This one was alot of fun!!! Keep them coming love your nuzlocks only one's ill watch

[@ultrasableye2624]

Dude! Your videos are amazing. Sunday is definitely something to look forward to. You should totally try a mono bug type in gen 5 I think that would be interesting.

[@kooger888]

Silph" can you stop eating the ground poliwrath" don't worry about it it's just showing its dominance to the ground type, that's the best way to probably go about it

[@troythewizard9940]

Isn't the first Fighting type encounter in Azalea Town with Heracross using Headbutt, and NOT the traded Machop in Goldenrod .. ?

[@stellarknight04]

It is, i thought of doing this monolocke in the past but couldn't find a legit way to do it

[@SodaTabGamingYT]

I came home after acolyting at my church and realized that you posted. Silph Sundays are epic.

[@Poketom-ob1dl]

That defense lowering nature on Machop really seemed to affect the early game

[@Metroid4ever]

Ooh, Rashad possibly had a 31 Atk IV based on the 'likes to thrash about' characteristic. Nice. Hitmonchan is awesome.

[@noahvoris3637]

I adore your videos Silph! Such a great channel! Any update on the True Power series by the way? I miss those! ☺️

QUOTE OF THE YEAR!!!! “Now it’s time” “Rashad” I’m wheezing 😂😂

[@Jajanken98]

Silph Sundays are the best, hope you continue the videos, IMO your the best nuzlocker because you are always explaining and showing us all the things I would like to see a Psychic nuzlocke team on Pokémon LeafGreen

[@devinpeterson880]

Favorite things to watch are your nuzlocks such high quality and really good entertainment. I check every day for a new one

[@jaynajuly2140]

Love these runs but I wish the rule was consistent about using prevolutions who don't have the right types yet. In the Dragon runs it's fine, but here it's not. I think it should just be okay in all runs for clarity's sake!

[@KoricTheBrave]

Bruh I haven't been this invested in a run for the longest time. So many pokemon lost and found. Loved it.

Man, that Tyson meme got me:D I always think about it when I get to the well and the dude breaking his back..

There is also no way he waited 70 days for a Riolu

[@yamiookami]

Lol that ending was like, "Thank you for your service, Hitmonchan, but you must be sacrificed for your replacement: better Hitmonchan"

[@Scatteredpast]

I relate to you on Mankey/Primeape. I ended up getting one in a randomized Heartgold nuzlocke and thought I was going to box it first chance. Next thing I know lil George became a champion with me

[@gaminganswers6107]

I used to be fan of your channel. Now I'm an air conditioner, keep up the good work bud

[@griffoncs6431]

Oh man I was so excited to see a fighting type only run and this video did not disappoint!

[@jordanj2164]

Doesn’t the halved attack from Burn essentially cancel out Guts? Great run btw, you punked Red hard!

[@biancaarmstrong5097]

My Favorite Fighting Type Pokémon will always be Lucario. Lucario holds a special place in my heart cause I remember the first time watching my first Pokémon movie called Lucario and the Mystery of Mew. When I saw this Pokémon, I was like wow, he looks so cool! I love it’s design very much plus blue is my favorite color too! Not to mention I was crying a lot seeing Lucario dying when he sees what his friend did before he dies. I was like don’t go Lucario but I’m happy he was reunited with his friend. Sure Lucario‘s defense is bad but it’s an amazing Pokémon with great power and speed.

[@aappaapp6627]

Let's gooooo silph Sundays are BACK

[@martinkoro4252]

I love to watch ultra sun/moon runs, since they’re really tricky for monotypes. Maybe you could do one of them soon

[@andrewwelch5302]

"You guys PRODUCED an egg?" In the distance, the drum of a thousand feet from the Jojo fandom echoes, approaching ever closer.

[@itsTM]

You can get the water stone through fisherman Tully on route 42, just wait for that call. Edited: fire stone is given by the kid with the tangela beside the sudowoodo, and the leaf stone is given by the girl with the bulbasaur infront of the daycare. Good luck on future runs

[@skeetermania3202]

For Thunderstones, Lass Dana on Route 38 can give you them on occasion. Might help if you want to do a mono-Electric run.

Best nuzlocker on KZbin!!! Completed my first nuzlocke of emerald but I had to use gyarados and Salamance as my final 2 Pokémon for the elite 4. The double intimidate and power of those two combine, shows me why pro nuzlockers don’t use gyarados

Interesting run, though one small note: Heracross is available before Goldenrod and should therefore have been the starter. I promise I'm not just saying this because Heracross is my favourite fighting type

[@zaclittlejohn2701]

A 4x weakness to gust makes heracross pretty unlikely to get past the first gym.

[@DrFoggyPants]

@@zaclittlejohn2701 While true, he did say that Machop was his first viable encounter and had therefore replaced the original starter, which is incorrect as you can get Heracross earlier than Goldenrod

[@zaclittlejohn2701]

@@DrFoggyPants but Machop is the first Guaranteed encounter. There is a 100% chance to get a Machop in goldenrod, while there is a chance that the trees that spawn heracross don't for several hours.
