Ghost type Pokemon are the coolest and most unique out there... but can they beat Pokemon Black's greatest challenge!?
We've done some hard Pokemon challenges in the past, but usually they were a solo Pokemon challenge run. What if we still did a really difficult challenge... but with a full team using hardcore nuzlocke rules, and with only one type? Today we find out: can I beat a Pokemon Black Hardcore Nuzlocke with only Ghost types? No items and no overleveling!

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.

Silph, im serious when I say that you, Antlerboy, Mr. Rutledge, and others have kept me so positive each sunday, or every other sunday with these runs. You do something that not many can do and make it funny / enjoyable to watch. thank you.

[@SilphSpectre]

Thanks so much for the kind words my friend! I truly believe we've got some great creators in nuzlocking world, but beyond that, an incredibly kind and supportive viewerbase comprised of people like you that make what we do possible! Let's keep growing this awesome space and make a huge positive impact in the larger Pokémon community 💪🏼

Btw, not only is Chandelure faster than expected and has base 145 special attack, it also has base 90 on both defenses. It's such a great Pokemon

[@coalesced_]

Black Version was the last game I got on hard copy; I was so pumped to be able to play a full Ghost team and that was my initial team. This video is gonna be such a nostalgia bomb.

i always wanted to do a ghost type run of b/w because both cofagrigus and chandelure rank ridiculously high in my list of favourite pokemon. and honestly? golurk and jellicent are pretty neat too. edit: and i adore all of the dream world options too!

[@askthepizzaguy]

I like the types of pokemon you normally cannot catch early on, like ghost, ice, dragon, and so forth. I wish I could do pokemon runs with unusual type starters instead of the usual fire, water, grass. BOOOORING.

[@bookroach6742]

The Universal pokemon randomizer allows you to change your starter, even if you don't want to randomize the entire game.

[@Tomy_Lightning]

You can use cheats that allow you to encounter any pokemon available in the game.

[@AssignedCryptid]

I did a Black Nuzlocke recently and Chandelure was absolutely the mvp, it's one of my all-time favourite pokemon and it's such a beast!

[@timothywalker4621]

I haven't been able to play this game but the only unova mons system seems SUPER FUN

bro that sunday cafe part nearly killed me 🤣

[@majinsonic8766]

Spooky! Gen 5 did it right with the ghost type selection, love the video!

[@Flaspoint2000]

It’s not strong but cofagrigus is one of my favorites

[@supremeking1730]

@@Flaspoint2000 Cofagrigus is pretty useful actually. It has pretty good defensive stats, gets Shadow Ball within 5 levels of evolving in gen 5, and has other good moves like Calm Mind and Will-o-Wisp. He'd be even better as a wall if he had a good recovery move.

[@Flaspoint2000]

@@supremeking1730 Yes it has uses I know that it just isn’t in the pinnacle of ghost types trust me I played gen 5

[@Keydicken]

So happy I get to watch your videos almost every weekend when I'm on break at work. Really lights up the day for me

[@brantschuenman]

It was so close to a deathless run! Also I would love to see more ghost type videos, it’s my favorite type. Good work Sylph!

[@frank2mb]

I like how, up until the end, your ghost type Pokemon just decided to be anti-ghosts with so many close calls. That was a great run!

[@pwesiti]

I love the memes you cut in and I super appreciate they aren’t super frequent. Thank you for your awesome content❤

[@HDGamerofficial]

23:35 “let’s just say it was a pleasant date” 🤣🤣🤣 and these moments is why you’re my favourite challenge/Nuzlocker Silph! Thank you for all these hilarious moments and incredible runs!

[@altanzirplay8608]

One of the craziest run so far. That Hypnosis spam, Air slash miss, 1 HP Cofagrigus and slashed chandelure made me clench hard lol

Woah! I completely forgot about the dream world's functionality in black& white, that is so genius! Id love more bw runs that involve it , or maybe even a run where u can only use dream world encounters instead of tall grass

Not sure if this is why your speed calcs were off but in bw and bw2 trainers will have random natures so whenever I play these games I account for a plus speed nature. Keep up the great content man 👍

I'm gonna be that guy to call Siilph out for calling Egon "Egen." Yep, it definitely matters to me. I mean he's invoking the Ghostbusters at all. How do you get the pronunciation wrong on the biggest of brains on that team?

[@LegendOfGear]

I was looking for anyone else that was bothered by it. Glad it's not just me.

[@chofoslive18]

Ghost type Pokemons are really fun to play with. In Ultra Moon I have a team of Ghost Types Pokemon. they are really spooky to face haha

[@The_Bladdenbolo]

This was probably one of the most satisfying nuzlocke teams to watch. Gengar, Froslass, Chandelure. Ghost types are awesome!

[@evandrolucas7148]

fingers crossed for a harder rom rack, like renegade or vintage white.You are the best!

[@genv.b521]

This run is alternatively titled "Pokémon Black But Silph's Ghost Pokémon Keep on Barely Surviving" with how many times his Pokémon survived a (mostly) physical and/or super-effective move. My favorite has to Venkmen the Haunter/Gengar just not wanting to faint in multiple occasions and Egon the Cofagrigus managed to barely stay in 1HP even after 2 hits in confusion and Silph getting distracted by the delivered parcel and misclicked, the RNG Gods may have definitely blessed this challenge.

[@everettlangevin3473]

Oh yeah another silph video!

[@Riztastic1]

Ghost is my 2nd favorite type. They already dead so they won't faint lol. U had some good luck. Made me worried at times. This was a good run.

[@noevenegascastaneda8313]

This made my Sunday even better! Greetings from Mexico.

[@OmniShawty]

Oh i've an idea! How about a run where you get every single type on the team. When i mean all types i mean through typings in the team and the moves they use, all 18. When i play around with teams stab is almost completey non-existent BUT! I'd adore to see that kinda video.

[@ru213]

When I saw gangara and the fact that you made its eyes glow and the thumbnail, I knew immediately that I had to watch this video

[@Aerowarrier]

Can’t wait for even more proof of Chandelure just being absolutely busted in this game lol. Love that sentient Chandelier so much

[@Bipolartwerker]

I like watching silph pokemon nuzlockes cause his voice don’t annoy me like some of the others lol 😂

[@rexw2]

I love your content, no doubt at all, but the snorunt switch in is a lil cheap knowing it isn't a ghost type YET. Was it possible to get a different ghost type other than Gastly to maybe beat the 2nd gym?

[@shadowfox933]

"When someone asks if you're a god, you say YES" Loved the naming scheme xD

[@MatthewG1247]

Always loved your commentary.

[@skiblizzyy]

Silph could you please do a final segment where you decide which Pokémon was the MVP of the run? I think it would be really cool to hear your opinions and who you thought really carried the team the most, most of all i love your videos! they’ve gotten me to start nuzlocking myself, and truly making play throughs amazing for me again 🙏🏻

[@Dj09211]

I love that you did a Ghost Buster name theme

[@theoddespeon]
