I gotta admire Silph's bravery for that Clay fight. He willingly chose to risk the entire run just so he can have more encounters later on than sacrifice a few encounters for a much easier fight. If it were me, I would've taken the easy way out and gotten my next encounter right away.
I did a run where I used a Lucario early on, and Lucario's resistance to Bug and Poison + Return from Bianca + Work Up from Cheren just let me sweep right through the second and third gyms
FlygonHG used to do those and discovered they’re actually easier than regular mode because the stats are the same as non challenge mode lower level mon but the level caps are higher for runners. It would sadly be less of a challenge for our dude
@@saffronsolos7699 Not if you take that into consideration and kept your original level cap. It would be harder with opponents having extra pokemon and held items.
Yep, plus your opponents would have better move sets, so overall playing in challenge mode but keeping regular mode level caps for yourself would make it harder, like Rydeman mentioned.
Fun fact about the pokestar studios. Brycen isnt the only gym leader you can find there, apparently Sabrina from Kanto's Saffron City can also be seen there.
Sewaddle having a higher defence stat than Snorlax makes sense. Snorlax doesn’t really have much to defend itself, it can just absorb a lot of damage (thus high HP). Defence is more about ease of hitting, such as armour or just being small.
Interestingly enough, you can actually get Beldum as your very first encounter in this run using the Dream Radar! I did it myself once for a steel only run of BW2 .
I just did a Steel-type run myself last week in the rom hack of Volt White 2 (not a nuzlocke run, just no using items in battles). Pretty tough in some areas of the game. Things to take away from the hack is that if a trainer has a flying type, it most likely to know Heat Wave & setup entry hazards 'cause of sturdy/focus sash users. I did enjoy the type changes to certain 'mons (Probopass is now rock/electric), ability changes (Klink line having Levitate), and stat/evolution changes (Riolu evolves by knowing aura sphere instead of friendship). They also added in Gen 6-8 moves (ex.: Wave Crash, Highhorse Power, Moonblast). Probably play again with a different type when I'm up for it again.
I really like your videos Silph. You’d think the concept would grow old over the years, but the commentary and jokes help a lot. The constant type/game change makes them fun to watch.
Always a good day when Silph has a new video for us. Thank you for putting so much work into these. You are genuinely funny and it's obvious that you care for these games and pokemon. Love to see it!
Are you planning on continuing the regional True Power Tournaments still Silph? I Really enjoy them and find myself rewatching the first three over and over again 😅 much love
Hey Silph, I dunno if you take requests, but a fun challenge could be Bug Types in Scarlet/Violet - There's a surprising amount of diversity with Pokémon, especially with the Teal Mask, and the game's honestly really hostile to Bug Types, given each badge in the base game covers all the types. Great video as always 😄
When I heard Silph say he was thinking of a deathless run, my first thought was, “Ya can’t say that before you fight Marshall. He’s literally the only major threat.” Lo and behold, his one death comes to Marshall
This may have been one of your best challenge runs yet. I really enjoyed this! Thank you again! Also, according to your pinned Twitter post, your 'project' isn't due until around near the end of February, maybe going into March? Really looking forward to that, your teaser trailer left me with a good amount of anticipation. 😁
Broooo I mean when I say you’re biiiig brain brotha these videos?! I looooove watching these seeing the different strats! Good luck with everything going forward bro😊
Kudos on making Clay's fight harder just for extra encounters. When I tried this monolocke, I just used the Escavalier you can get from Route 6 and built my plan around it. For whatever reason, Clay's Excadrill doesn't know what to do with it because he just kept going for ineffective Metal Claws and Slashes every time.
Silph, when I tell you I’ve been WAITING for this one 🔥 Edit: SILPH! You forgot to get Metagross man! That encounter could’ve been a game changer for you it so powerful
Silph: I'm starting to think of the possibility of a deathless run Conkeldurr of Marshal's Hammer Arm that landed a critical hit on a neutral Bronzong through Reflect: *nope!*
I have been a long time lurker and have been loving these videos. Let's me live vicariously through your Nuzlockes with a fraction of the time. lol But I gotta comment now because....you had an epic Aggron! And never used him! Heartbreaking. Still, great video as always, always happy to see a new run.
You should do a water only run of Pokemon W2/B2. I think you'd have challenge enough getting past Colress and Elesa seeing as there aren't any water/ground types available before them unless I'm mistaken. I think this would be a great challenge for you.
First off love seeing new ones of these on my feed, second honestly would love to see a rock or ghost type run of sword or shield. Keep up the good work.
7:53 Y'know when I first saw some of the SV glitches on the internet I didnt believe that all of them were real & rather legit, I thought somebody seriously messed up while trying to mod the game, but in actuality, GF were the only ones to mess up.
Please do a video playing an old game again! It has been so long!! 1st gen game would be amazing or 2nd gen at the latest. Just finished watching your Crystal version again, so much fun 🩵
This is my personal hll to die on: The Pokestar studios is a pretty fun sidething to do, but I agree that it would be more enjoyable if you weren't forced to do at least one run on it.
That could be interesting, but there are only three possible encounters. One is Aron, which you can’t get until after Roxanne. You can get Skarmory after Wattson, but then you have to wait until after Norman before you get Magnemite, and then that’s just… it.
I NEED THE TRUE POWER TOURNAMENT BACK PLEASE SAVED ME THROUGH (the sick years) NEED IT AGAIN NOW PLEASE. no rush to cost you anything I love you and appreciate everything you gift the world with.
I appreciate you!! I've been working hard behind the scenes to get it running again bigger and better than ever - stay tuned, looking at a March release!
Hey Silph, I've askes this a few times on a couple of different videos, some early, some late, but I really wanna see you do a randomizes Nuzlocke of Pokémon Radical Red if at all possible, it would really make be a awesome watch and a challenging run
That bit at the beginning about who Pete is is one of my favorite things I've seen in fiction, where people accidentally include Christianity in their setting.
Magnemite survived an attack because of sturdy then paralyzed him likely with thunder wave. C'mon, it doesn't take a genius to figure out especially since you literally SEE the magnemite hit him with a move.
u know what challenge would be like impossible,a nuzlock of only baby pokémon and pokémon who have no evolutions feel me,like just from first evolution stage and no evolutions
Hey, Silph, I have a video idea for you. How about you face off with AntlerboyLIVE in Pokemon Showdown? You can battle each other with your monotype teams. Think about it, okay.
@SilphSpectre id love more clarification on how exactly you can manage to use the C gear to access the dream world to obtain pokemon. i cant get it to work to save my dang life. please help!

Hey all! I'll be travelling this upcoming weekend, so I figured I'd get a video out a bit earlier this week for you guys! Hope you enjoy
For your next hardcore nuzlocke, do a pokemon run with only pokemon that can mega evolve.
I was watching your first Nuzlocke ever now
It is crazy how much u improved over the 2 years
Can you please do a platinum bug type you have not done that one🙏🙏
Silph, thank you for continuing doing these challenges, I never get tired of seeing all the classic games again but in a new way. Thanks again 👊👊
I gotta admire Silph's bravery for that Clay fight. He willingly chose to risk the entire run just so he can have more encounters later on than sacrifice a few encounters for a much easier fight. If it were me, I would've taken the easy way out and gotten my next encounter right away.
But he still forgot to grab a Metang in the Giant Chasm :(
The Magnezone line carries so well in B2W2! I remember praising it during my first playthrough. That immunity to poison against Roxy is great.
I did a run where I used a Lucario early on, and Lucario's resistance to Bug and Poison + Return from Bianca + Work Up from Cheren just let me sweep right through the second and third gyms
B2 is probably my most played pokemon game and ive still neber used one 😂
Do a run of B2W2 in CHALLENGE MODE. You choose the type.
FlygonHG used to do those and discovered they’re actually easier than regular mode because the stats are the same as non challenge mode lower level mon but the level caps are higher for runners. It would sadly be less of a challenge for our dude
@@saffronsolos7699

Yep, plus your opponents would have better move sets, so overall playing in challenge mode but keeping regular mode level caps for yourself would make it harder, like Rydeman mentioned.
@@saffronsolos7699true but the opponents have better moves and more Pokémon
I think Flygon HG did One likes that
Dropping a 'Daddy chill' whilst I am taking a drink is actually attempted murder
Fun fact about the pokestar studios. Brycen isnt the only gym leader you can find there, apparently Sabrina from Kanto's Saffron City can also be seen there.
Do you think her characters do the Ojou-Sama Laugh?
Sewaddle having a higher defence stat than Snorlax makes sense. Snorlax doesn’t really have much to defend itself, it can just absorb a lot of damage (thus high HP). Defence is more about ease of hitting, such as armour or just being small.
Interestingly enough, you can actually get Beldum as your very first encounter in this run using the Dream Radar! I did it myself once for a steel only run of BW2 .
Seriously?! 🤯 Wow, having a Metagross that early would be amazing! 🤩 …Although it would probably cheese the game. 😅
@@zacharyjoy8724Beldum sucks to level up.
@ As long as it only knows Take Down, absolutely. Being in the Slow growth group doesn’t help either.
I just did a Steel-type run myself last week in the rom hack of Volt White 2 (not a nuzlocke run, just no using items in battles). Pretty tough in some areas of the game.

I really like your videos Silph. You’d think the concept would grow old over the years, but the commentary and jokes help a lot. The constant type/game change makes them fun to watch.
Every single time that I’ve played BW2 I always make sure to get a magnemite. Such a great Pokémon to use for this game practically a necessity.
Gen 5 is my favourite, I'm always happy when you make a nuzlocke in it!
Congratulations on winning and you almost beat it deathless too. You will get it next time for sure and keep up the success on your channel bro.
Always a good day when Silph has a new video for us. Thank you for putting so much work into these.
You are genuinely funny and it's obvious that you care for these games and pokemon. Love to see it!
These videos are an absolute joy. keep it up Silph
Are you planning on continuing the regional True Power Tournaments still Silph? I Really enjoy them and find myself rewatching the first three over and over again 😅 much love
Been doing my first nuzlock on challenge mode black 2. And lemme tell you magnezone and Swanna are surprisingly amazing together.
Hey Silph, I dunno if you take requests, but a fun challenge could be Bug Types in Scarlet/Violet - There's a surprising amount of diversity with Pokémon, especially with the Teal Mask, and the game's honestly really hostile to Bug Types, given each badge in the base game covers all the types.

16:47 True power is returning?
Lucario *alone* trivializes B2W2 😝 I used one in my playthrough of White 2 and it was a MUCH easier time than White had been for me.
So stoked about new videos from you brother.
Nice video again! One question: can we expect real power tournament series any time soon?
Kudos on making Clay's fight harder just for extra encounters. When I tried this monolocke, I just used the Escavalier you can get from Route 6 and built my plan around it.

A Thursday upload?? An unexpected but pleasant surprise
It's Friday where I am
Silph, when I tell you I’ve been WAITING for this one 🔥
Edit: SILPH! You forgot to get Metagross man! That encounter could’ve been a game changer for you it so powerful
Silph: I'm starting to think of the possibility of a deathless run
Conkeldurr of Marshal's Hammer Arm that landed a critical hit on a neutral Bronzong through Reflect: *nope!*
To be fair to Brycen, I’m pretty he states in one of the games that he’s always wanted to act. Though fact check me on it I could be wrong.
I have been a long time lurker and have been loving these videos. Let's me live vicariously through your Nuzlockes with a fraction of the time. lol But I gotta comment now because....you had an epic Aggron! And never used him! Heartbreaking. Still, great video as always, always happy to see a new run.
I recently did a steel run in Pokemon Y. Loved it to bits, steel has amazing coverage! Keep up the good work Mr Silph.
I’VE BEEN WANTING THIS FOR SO LONG LET’S GO
😐 you've been waiting.... For this specific video idea? Why your so excited... And why you have no life...I may never know .
Why you have nothing better to do with your time than to troll me… I may never know.
Omg for the first time I understood the naming convention! They’re steel companies! 😲
You should do a water only run of Pokemon W2/B2. I think you'd have challenge enough getting past Colress and Elesa seeing as there aren't any water/ground types available before them unless I'm mistaken. I think this would be a great challenge for you.
Congrats on 250k Silph!!! Knew you could do it 💪
First off love seeing new ones of these on my feed, second honestly would love to see a rock or ghost type run of sword or shield. Keep up the good work.
Only halfway through but this is looking to be a super cool run
Thus the Thursday became blessed by a silph video. Perfect timing
Lets GOOOOOOOOOO, BLACK 2 METAAAAAAAAAL.
I've waited for so looong, so great
14:20 is so funny. A sickio for sure
Do a nuzlocke of pokemon swords with rock type pokemon
Can’t you encounter Metang in the Giant Chasm before the Elite 4
You can but it seems he forgot about that and the Onix encounter in Victory road to evolve it into Steelix.
NEW SILPH VID LETS GOOOO
To be fair to Brycen, "what's become of him" is being a famous movie star, so I'm sure he's not too torn up about it
7:53 Y'know when I first saw some of the SV glitches on the internet I didnt believe that all of them were real & rather legit, I thought somebody seriously messed up while trying to mod the game, but in actuality, GF were the only ones to mess up.
14:01 Did you see the crystals, SilphSpectre? Pokemon unova games confirmed Gen 9!
Please do a video playing an old game again! It has been so long!! 1st gen game would be amazing or 2nd gen at the latest. Just finished watching your Crystal version again, so much fun 🩵
Always love your vids, Silph! Keep up the awesomeness! ^-^
I love this channel. I'm always looking forward which challenge Silph is coming up with.
This is my personal hll to die on: The Pokestar studios is a pretty fun sidething to do, but I agree that it would be more enjoyable if you weren't forced to do at least one run on it.
Still waiting for the Steel Only Emerald run!
That could be interesting, but there are only three possible encounters. One is Aron, which you can’t get until after Roxanne. You can get Skarmory after Wattson, but then you have to wait until after Norman before you get Magnemite, and then that’s just… it.
And our run has officially begun
I'd like to see you do an Emerald Kaizo run one day. I love your monolocke content, but I reckon it's time for some romhacks
Love your content
You don’t know how bad I needed a silph post today!!
I NEED THE TRUE POWER TOURNAMENT BACK PLEASE SAVED ME THROUGH (the sick years) NEED IT AGAIN NOW PLEASE. no rush to cost you anything I love you and appreciate everything you gift the world with.
I appreciate you!! I've been working hard behind the scenes to get it running again bigger and better than ever - stay tuned, looking at a March release!
Babe wake up SILPH dropped a new video
Great run even without Metagross xD
I love the magnezone line they are favorite pokemon along with scizor
Because of this video you, silph, are tied with antlerboy as my fav nuzlocker
Hey Silph, I've askes this a few times on a couple of different videos, some early, some late, but I really wanna see you do a randomizes Nuzlocke of Pokémon Radical Red if at all possible, it would really make be a awesome watch and a challenging run
Yeahh finally a new nuzlocke by Silph 🙌🏻🙌🏻
It isn’t a silph BW2 run unless he hates on Pokestar studios 😭😭😭
Great video as always but why didn't you tried catching Metagross??
You know that other rocky helmet you can find on the relic passage? I always think that it's from a worker who died from a cave in
I can see one of the main Nucor plants from my apartment, that’s wild.
How about Red or Blue with only Bug-Types? There would only be 6 encounters, but every bug can make use of at least one of the broken gen 1 mechanics.
Silph it would be cool to see a no evolution hardcore nuzlocke if that’s even possible but I wouldn’t be surprised if you did it successfully
Silph back again always Goated 🐐
That bit at the beginning about who Pete is is one of my favorite things I've seen in fiction, where people accidentally include Christianity in their setting.
Do some romhack runs like renegade platinum
Do a B2 challenge run of any type but each Pokémon has its most suboptimal Nature!
Bro you tripped me out when you say level 11, it sounds like you're saying 11:11 which triggers my spiritual side ahah
I’m surprised you didn’t get Pawniard before the 7th Gym.
Just saying, it would have saved you some headaches of traversing Ice Tiles.
A nuzlocke with my favorite type? You sommine-beesh I'm in.
Gotta love seein my boy in the thumbnail, magnezone is da best
I hoped (as always) for a deathless run. Still very nice and entertaining vid. Ty Silph
So close to a deathless run but this was fantastic
I think steel is probably my favourite type because I'm a really big fan of tough looking Pokemon like aggron and steelix
Have you tried a bug run in B2W2? I did that and it was a really fun run. Just the right amount of difficulty for a HC monotype nuzlocke👍
Could you possibly do a run in gen 1 with all the bugs and glitches in those games, no items, and no natures. Could be fun
I absolutely adore your content dude. If i may suggest a nuzlocke, try the rom hack dark rising
10:34 so not only does Sturdy prevent OTK, it also causes Paralysis....
Magnemite survived an attack because of sturdy then paralyzed him likely with thunder wave. C'mon, it doesn't take a genius to figure out especially since you literally SEE the magnemite hit him with a move.
My guy straight up forgot getting a damn Metagross
I think some legendaries should be allowed. Like Cobalion is a weaker but bulkier Lucario. Stuff like that. Some legendaries aren't that strong
Awesome video! 👍🏻👍🏻
Platinum ground type run would be fun to see
what an interesting video, I might have to STEEL this concept ;)
Loved that Amanda Nuñes edit but I dont think many poke fans watch mma lol 😂
You should try doing a nuzlocke of either sacred gold or storm silver.
My top 1° challenger on pokèmon hardcore and content creator about those things☆
Greeting from Italy sir♡
u know what challenge would be like impossible,a nuzlock of only baby pokémon and pokémon who have no evolutions feel me,like just from first evolution stage and no evolutions
Wait , couldnt you catch a metagross nearby the plasma frigate? Anyways you make great videos bud , keep up the good work my man
Hey, Silph, I have a video idea for you. How about you face off with AntlerboyLIVE in Pokemon Showdown? You can battle each other with your monotype teams. Think about it, okay.
@SilphSpectre id love more clarification on how exactly you can manage to use the C gear to access the dream world to obtain pokemon. i cant get it to work to save my dang life. please help!
I’d love to see you do a run of Inclement Emerald. You would absolutely love it.
Huh, just got it in my head to try this run a couple days ago. Cool.
Game Freak knew what they were doing when they made Rock Polish TM 69
