CAN I BEAT A POKÉMON PEARL HARDCORE NUZLOCKE WITH ONLY NORMAL TYPES!? (Pokémon Challenge)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 жов 2024
- Buckle in... this Pokemon challenge is CRAZY. Normal type Pokemon have no supereffective same-type-attack-bonus and Diamond & Pearl have some INSANE battles. Will we make it through?
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 Pearl Hardcore Nuzlocke with only Normal types?

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 trading/importing Pokémon, Items, etc.

Got it boss
Me to
Hey silph what about a run with only pokemon that contain a singular type?
Edit: pokemon can be different types like a fire or a rock etc. But they cant be dual typed
Dragon Rage only does 40 hp, btw
So um what ever happened with the honey tree
Here I thought I was unluckiest Pokémon player, but never have I ever seen such an unlucky run. Kudos for not quiting the run; I know I would have.
I’m EXCUSE ME?? He hit 2 focus blasts in a ROWWWW
Lol he literally hit all the hypnosis getting 3 turns sleep, I would have wiped there for a double miss. If you consider the run "unlucky" I envy you because you're not as unlucky as you think you are #justunluckyplayersthings
He used his luck up on the rollout strat on Roark, the two consecutive connecting Focus Blasts, and the Pokérus. That is why it took five more runs to get back to Spear Pillar.
@@aurifomo6385 Yeah, that one lucky battle vs. the like 20+ times he got critted, sometimes multiple times in a row, even when those crits were 1/16 chances.
@@kazenna that's TOO lucky
(Just exaggerated)
this team has serious Ash energy. literally in the anime he'll beat some stupid strong foe with just an aipom
But then he turns around and loses to some noob a couple episodes later
Just to get an “inspiration” and beat everyone except the champion so it can get another season
And then only win after seven conferences, albeit with clear progression in his training such that in each conference he grows higher in rank when his loss happens.
The freak
He wins with the power of friendship
If u do a push up every time he gets crit in this video, u wouldn't need a gym
eh, he actually got insanely lucky with the AI basically sparing him five or six times tho
Where else would you get your 8 badges?
Yep I did that and I'm still fat):
@@theduck4573 ?
immy try it
Sheesh you had some tough luck at the end... You win some you lose some:/ still, respect for making it that far!
Twig! here a fan!
Ayo the Twig is here
At the end he had shitty luck THE ENTIRE TIME
Ah, yes, focus blast. 50 accuracy for you, 100 for your opponent.
No, it's - - - accuracy for your opponent.
In my experience, both of us miss lol.
I have a similar experience with confusion (the status condition, not the move). When my Pokemon gets confused it hits itself every turn and snaps out after 5-7 turns but when the opponent's Pokemon gets confused it lands every attack and snaps out of confusion after 2 turns.
I thought for you it had 5 accuracy, and for opponents it had 1000 accuracy
To quote CTC’s line from the 2019 cypher “Focus Blast hit like Death and Taxes”
He actually got a sp. Def drop on the bastiodon with focus blast, I thought that was a myth
So did I but that's probably because I never saw focus blast actually hitting a foe.
I love these long videos. So nice to listen to while playing my own Nuzlockes.
I like how how you showed us the first run where you lost but carried on from that point in a different run, greatly appreciated
Omg I never see normal type nuzlockes so I'm extra hyped for this one
Antlerboylive did one in platinum if you want to check it out.
FlagonHG made an emerald one a while ago
Someone called Andrew Will upload one in the future his full youtube username is The Andrew Cottle Show
How? Like have you been hiding under a rock or something? There is a crap ton of nuzlockes who has done it.
Antlerboy: *Hold my beer*
Oh man, I've been looking forward to this run!! I was in the Twitch chat for most of the runs, and I actually suggested Duchess' name!!
Tough luck though. Well played, and kudos to you for being a champ and sticking it out passed all that horrible luck
This was the worst luck I’ve seen in a run in a long time. Well done, Silph!
I was convinced that Purugly was Dark-Type!
An entertaining run, as always.
Honestly that would fit it more than Liepard
i honestly thought it was poison for some reason
Fun fact: purugly is faster then Latios and latias…
@@jumpyjumpjumpjumps2369 also, cranidos has higher attack than arceus, and it is just the first gym.
@@kohinoorbanerjee4009 u mean rampardos?
I think i prefer it if you include clips from your different attempts. Makes the nuzlockes seem all the more challenging and the actual win way more satisfying. Love your vids!
Suprised you didn't pick turtwing so your rival would have a starter thats super effective. For the lolz of course
Probably PTSD from the last gen 4 challenge
He rarely does that, can't handle the challenge I guess
@@aurifomo6385 lol "can't handle the challenge" ok Badass Barry
Auri Fomo
It's almost as if some people play these games more for their own entertainment and less for your sadistic pleasure? "Can't handle the challenge" as he has to do 6 runs for this one video. It was challenging enough without handing your rival a super effective powerhouse like Infernape. Some people just don't ask for an added challenge, and it's fine. I'd rather watch someone actually having fun, rather than being a constant ball of stress or frustration because of an optional and unnecessary choice.
Sorry if you were just goofing around, but honestly it gets super annoying to see all these "I'm better than this Nuzlocker because of this thing I'd do/saw others do" comments. Like are you actually a pro nuzlocker, or do you just watch other people do them? Are you giving good constructive criticism, or are you just trying to make someone feel bad?
@@yesterdaystomorrow5510 "Some people just don't ask for an added challenge, and it's fine" so you agree with me, he can't handle the challenge. Not my fault if people get offended over an objective truth. If he is satisfied with the challenge he poses to himself, then he'd just agree with my comment and move on. There are loads of videogame challenges, pokemon related or not, that are way too hardcore for me so one could say "I can't handle it" and I would never dream of getting offended about it. If my comment makes anyone feel bad maybe it's their problem for not being able to come to term with their skills or lack thereof? :)
I got mad seeing all those crits dealt by the opponent, and I'm just a spectator! This is the sort of run (I mean multiple failed runs) that can break a person. Silph's resilience is remarkable throughout all this, that's a major understatement
It was an honor to watch this Stream from Attempt 4 onwards. No one could've done any better.
@Salt Bringer u can get leftovers in Pearl? Where?
My top 3 skill wise
PC
Flygon
Silph
@@chefgrizz6284 I doubt the third one
RSG_ Grizz
I'd personally add Antlerboy to that list. If you haven't watched his videos, check them out! They're good runs and pretty funny. If you like Flygon, you might like Antler.
i am actually surprised you had a decent number of encounters for this run since diamond and pearl are infamous for their dreadful amount of pokemon available
Infamous for only have 2 fully evolved fire types, rapidash and infernape
@@shankpain1354 true but it still has a very limited pokedex
@@mattmc1234 150 just like most of the games
@@shankpain1354 It only has like 2 or 3 Electric and Ice types as well. Dragon was also extremely limited but I think that's true of Dragon in every Game before the Gen 5 sequels.
The game can even be a bit greedy with its encounters
I think these have been the most cursed runs I've ever seen in all of the HC nuzlucke videos I've ever watched. Props to you for sticking it out Silph
Girafarig is one of this forgotten pokemons that i love. Thank you for this Run and congratulations for the win, you deserved it so much.
Amazing run Silph I remember catching afew of the attempts on twitch. 100% of the toughest ones I've seen you do but major props for sticking to it.
I punched my bed for you. The number of crits that happened to take your pokemon out were so undeserving. Respect for making it that far and not quitting
That was crazy as hell. Damn mad respect for keeping the grind going after them Cyrus wipes
I actually just beat this game with only a starpator, of course I was overleveled. Hardcore nuzlocke though, Bibarel has a pretty diverse move pool via TM, Lopunny isn't half bad, and I know Staraptor is a beast so
Just to let it be known *just* how unlucky he got in this video:
Enemy crits (non-boosted odds): 16
Enemy crits (boosted odds): 8 (3 in one battle)
95% accurate move misses: 4
Misses via accuracy drops: 2
Enemy Hypnosis hits: 3 (all in one battle)
Self-hits via confusion: 8
10% add-ons from damaging moves (Bite flinches, Psybeam confusions, Defense drops, etc.): 7
Keep in mind this is only what can be shown in the video, there's probably a lot more across all Silph's attempts, and this doesn't include other things like Candice's Medicham plays or Barry's stupid AI in the double battle.
Safe to say, I fully respect Silph's ability to keep going through all these failures, a dedication that I wish I had.
I love the coincidence of him naming his Rival Larry, on a normal type nuzlocke, and a year later, Scarlet and Violet release with a normal type gym leader named Larry.
The crazy luck/irony with naming the rival Larry
Thank you very much Silph! I like diamond and pearl very much! I was willing to see another of these challenges, thank you! I've never played actually but I like the season very much! Maybe I'll be playing one day, if there was an emulator good enough to play this version, like the GBA for emerald, that I could set a speed run button... But I really enjoy just watching, it's really fun!
Silph's crit luck was so bad, you'd think he was Werster
that ending legit infuriated me. If that stupid Roserade didn't dodge your first ice beam you would've- AHHHHHHHHH
Another week another hardcore nuzlocke love it.
It was great seeing this after lurking the Twitch streams. Absolutely incredible showing. Clutch end. Worst luck ever but in my heart you won.
Stumbled upon your channel a few days ago and i like it a lot. You have a calm and soothing way of talking it's nice. Keep it up man !
Been waiting for a normal nuzlocke. Let's see how you finesse this one
Dear lord that was some of the worst luck I have ever seen in any nuzlocke, RNG really said "Fuck you" this time around huh
All of his luck was used up after the first gym's Onix was KO'd by Rollout.
I watched this one live and there were so many devastating losses 😭
Yea I felt like crying but good job silph
Jeeeez, 6 whole attempts and you just *barely* didn't make it! I'm kinda inclined to say you DID win anyway, bc of all those crits, but damn... So close!
I did a spit take when I heard Larry using a Starly, what are the odds!? Not only the name of a Normal gym leader, but pre-evo to his ace as well?! This is Larry's backstory for sure
this is one of those great nuzlockes where we need intimidate staraptor AND simple/bulk up or moody/substitute Bibarel to stay alive no matter what; restarting anytime we lose either of them. Munch/Snorlax is a great run saver too. ambipom, girarafarig, purugly, clefable, persian, lopbunny, are great, but are far less solid.
THERE IS NO B IN LOPUNNY!
All of these nuzlockes are like a movie with these crazy chain of events. Every single one seems to have some miraculous ending whether good or bad.
Love your content! Just started a Platinum Normal type Nuzelock myself. This video has been very helpful so far! After 6 wipes against Roarck I managed to get past him deathless, a combination of luck and a crap ton of attack EV training worked wonders.
Sylph: Kirby is a beast.
Me: Your Clefable or the original?
Sylph: Both!
Congratulations on a new run! Thanks to your channel I came back to playing Pokemon, and am currently on mt 3rd Sword Hardcore Nuzlocke ever lol (the first one was a wipe against Leon, but the second one was a successful one!)
Jupiter was having exactly none of silph’s stall tactics today 😂
Hats off to you for the perseverance, Silph.
I gotta say, this was the first normal type nuzlocke I have ever seen. It was quite entertaining.
14:08 dragon rage always does a set amount of damage (40 hp) which is why it didn't get affected by reflect. Also because it's a special move but that doesn't matter anyways
Watching this at the end of 2022 and seeing the rival of a normal only run being named Larry is kind of amazing
Ive binged theough all of the monotype nuzlocke videos you have posted and know how much watson is the bane of your existence when you use ruby/sapphire/emerald i thought how awesome it would be to see you pull off a flying type nuzlocke for those games
This is beautiful. Thank you Silph! I love watching your content!!!
Was literally planning a normal type playthrough on the new games as well 🤣🤣
I was wanting to on Soul Silver! Ah well lol
Love these challenge runs! I would like to see you try an ice type run one of these days!
i was wanting to play through the gen 4 games again and you've inspired me to (not as hard as this or anywhere close) but a duo type poison/grass play through on plat and still working on the team concepts for diamond and pearl!
Alternate title: RNG hates me as I try and play Pokémon.
This was crazy lol I am still watching your channel every day lol hahaha
Because of your channel, I’m playing through all the regions with one type. I did Normal on FireRed, Water in HG, I’m doing ground on emerald, Will do poison in platinum, flying in White2, grass in Y, dark in Ultra Moon, and Psychic in shield
Edit: also one thing I would like to see is like a time going on like a speed run. Just to show the time done.
This Ground type emerald challenge is really hard
I hope he never stops doing this cuz he's the authentic difficult AF runs
I like how bidoof had a nature that you didn't want. The almighty knows that you are doing a challenge run hence it purposely weakened itself.
"She's following us everywhere, maybe she has a crush on us" - PurpleCliffe would be overjoyed :).
The fact that the rival is named Larry while Larry is the new normal type gym leader in gen 9
A person from the future here. Nicknaming your rival Larry is pretty funny since the gen 9 Normal type gym leader is named Larry.
This video is pretty big proof of how a run can be dead long before it actually is. So many plays had to be made around the fact that Staraptor with Close Combat/Intimidate wasn't there, and Bibarel's movepool + water typing. While the bad luck was the run killer in the end, the fact is there just were many improvements to make. While you had strategies, those early losses lead to the snowball effect of having to play around more pokemon leading to more opportunities for crits leading to the loss.
Finally this vid is out lol this run took so long on twitch guys you have no idea good job Silph
I wonder if the togepi egg thing is exclusive to platinum? A togekiss would’ve been a great adding
It is a platinum exclusive yes
@@destinygalearies7382 Pain. It would have been very helpful.
@@_V.Va_ yeah especially if the togepi you get from cynthia was have a serene grace
Amazing video!! Pearl is a great game, but have to admit I was surprised it wasn't Platinum which has a couple more normal type options.
Best part of the run is Chatot's player side sprite just sitting there. It looks like it knows that so much had to go wrong for it to be called into action.
After that many wipes you should almost keep going until you hit a Munchlax. It’s such a brutal Pokémon to get though.
This is absolutely magnificent. Not only do your actions and decisions speak volumes about just how knowledgeable, quick on your feet and - well - brilliant (pearl) you are; you also guide us through this insane hell of a run with a script that cranks up the already mind-boggling intensity to eleven - in short: I absolutely adore you and your content,‘please keep it up!
Nintendo / Game Freak: How many critical hits do you want to take?
Silph: Yes
I laugh inside when anyone says Flint is a fire type elite 4 member in Diamond and Pearl especially when I know they can’t keep a straight face
I have not seen anyone get haxed as much as you in this run
I probably would've slung the DS across the room after all those attempts and bad luck haha! I like a challenge but constantly losing to obscenely bad luck is just frustrating.
Man, you must have pissed off the E4 and Cynthia something fierce, since they unleashed their 400 IQ hax in all its' blistering fury all over you with so many crits on your team and unlucky rolls and statuses galore. Just brutal.
Larry for the Normal type rival? Have Scarlet and Violet been out for a year already or is Silph just a prophet?
Gen 4 was my first major pokemon game so always nice to see challenge runs on it. Good stuff.
Nuzlocke Idea : Kecleon Type Run
1 st encounter / starter - has to be the same type as the 1st gym is (rock if you are playing Pearl)
After obtaining a badge you can get another encounter depending on what the next gym type is (grass if you are playing Pearl), repeat until the final badge.
Bonus challenge : Must use Kecleon if you can get it as a viable encounter (ignoring the gym badge catching rule)
Really enjoying you content Silph, keep up the good work.
That Blissey stall against Fantina LOL
Chuckling a little at the blissey stall, if memory serves right you can access toxic already, I used that to beat fantina in diamond with minimal levels
Yo silk I've watched all your true power videos and I want to say that you are doing purely good and don't let anybody tell you diffrent
Amazing! I really enjoying all your challenges. Could you kindly tell me where you consult the pokemons game data? Is there any central wiki or something like this?
Many thanks!
Felix the Purugly vs Edgar the doge will be Epic.
Fantina: “I’m going to do it, I’m going to beat a protagonist!”
*Sends in Blissey*
Fantina: “F%#*!”
Normal types! really a great challenge you had, silph! great job again~~!
22:29 I spent so long wondering what happened with the first honey tree.
Lmao this run was truly cursed. The odds of some of the bad luck you faced must have been staggeringly low.
This normal type run was anything but normal, holy shit that rng.
3 crits, 3 hypnosis hits... and the luckiest part was still you hitting the focus blast.
My boy Silph with another video! Now thats a great way to start the day :))
Man you really put in work with your mono-normal run so you have nothing but my respect for this! If you haven’t yet, could you do a bug/poison type run?
Idk why but I can't stop laughing everytime I hear "baby girl" 🤣
Oooh yea man, I got company for today's workout as well ❤️
All this bad luck came from you letting bidoof die. You have forsaken god.
That ambipom technician ability is so good with uturn damn good stuff bro
Blissy saved from fantina haha
Blissy just..... Doesn't die
DO NOT LEAVE OFF THE E IN BLISSEY!
Oh boy, all those partywipes... Chapeau to your dedication
Man, hardcore nuzlockes are very hard and a lot of these challenges are being lost but you always showcase the most ingenuous strategies so it's awesome, keep up the good work
Amazing Silph. Was such a good challenge. Here's hoping there is a steel type in the future. See you at the stream later.
TMonty x
22:14 that must be the pay back from the pokemon god, as you hit focus miss twice in a row
This has to be the absolute worst luck for a Pokémon challenge the world has ever seen. 😂
Haven't even gotten through the ads and this is a great way to start my Sunday
In my country sunday is about to
end :(
12:18 you do realize dragon rage does set 40 damage right, it couldn’t do any more regardless of your reflect
Sorry I'm not sure what you're referring to? None of Maylene's Pokemon have Dragon Rage (but yes, I'm aware it does 40). I did say 'Drain Punch' though, unless you've got the wrong timestamp there
He actually meant crashed wakes gyrados dragon rage
Well that's why I said what I said at 14:18 :D
Ah, well in that case that's why I said what I said at 14:18 :D
