Rock type Pokemon are powerful, but often slow and share many weaknesses. Can they beat Pokemon Black 2'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 Platinum Hardcore Nuzlocke with only Rock 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.

What's going on Silph Squad! It's time to attempt a monotype hc nuzlocke that hasn't been attempted before... let's find out why!
We've officially moved into the new house by the way, so it might take a bit of time to get things all set up, but you best believe we'll be on upload overdrive once we're all settled in! Thanks for supporting me & the channel in the meantime as always Will be posting updates & pictures on Twitter so make sure you're following on there: twitter.com/SilphSpectre
You should try gen 4 with only pokemon that became fairy type after gen 6
🪨 types actually beat 🐛 and 🧊. The 🪨 Pokémon who lost 🧊 Pokémon were not pure 🪨 like the Gigalith line.
A fun one could be Pokémon based on where people lived like if you lived in the desert 🏜 and all you had were l 🦂 🐍 and 🌵 stuff like that
Do you think you'll reattempt this challenge again? You know, hoping you don't lose craydily and maybe get better natures?
Is there any reason why you didn't pick the Onix in Relic Passage? Just because you already counted having caught the Rogenrola there?
14:17 The reason Magnemite kept hitting even though you mud-slapped him is because Magnet Bomb never misses, like Aerial Ace.
Good catch
I always forget Magnet Bomb has perfect accuracy lol
good catch !
Holyshit after nearlt 2 decades of playing this game i never knew that
he saved me in my randomizer nuzlocke, double teamed so many times and remembered it doesn’t miss, clutched norman’s gym
If anybody wants to attempt the mega-hardcore version of this run, technically it’s possible to get a rock type right at the start of the game fully legitimately. Using the Pokémon Dream Radar game you can obtain and trade over a Shuckle as soon as you get the Pokédex. I don’t know how viable it would be to use a Shuckle, granted, but I would certainly be fascinated to see!
Difficulty levels:
Novice
Beginner
Intermediate
Advanced
Expert
Ultra
Nightmare
Shuckle
Wish me luck, I'll provide updates (current attempt number: 1)
NOTE: Should I try Shuckle only for the chuckles and fuckles?
EDIT 1: New game started on Pokemon Black 2 and Shuckle was obtained from dream radar (Gender: Female, Nature: Jolly, Ability: Contrary)
EDIT 2: Help me with a list of names as I have no creative imagination thanks.
EDIT 3: I'm starting to think that contrary shuckle is broken. The enemy pokemon keep growling or leering and I just use roll-out as its the only stab/decent move currently while they buff me. Don't fuckle with shuckle.
EDIT 4: Got scared thinking I might break the level cap but got to Cheren at level 13 thank God. Also Shuckle just rolled through his whole team so badge 1 complete. I'm thinking a shuckle only run is completely viable except I don't have defence curl in gen 5 so I can't max damage roll-out. But it's still fairly powerful provided I don't flinch or get paralysed.
EDIT 5: Shuckle died to a grimer in virbank city gym. Poison gas coupled with disabling my roll-out caused Shuckles demise. End of Run 1. Will restart tomorrow.
@@incognitobandito244 good luck
Personally when I did this run I started with Onix over Gigalith, since it's the mon you have the means to guarantee as an encounter through Repels and dust clouds. Onix kinda just hard carried through the first 5 gyms with Curse or Rock Polish (or sometimes both), especially with the Eviolite and Rest for recovery. From that point on I just abused Shell Armor Crustle againsy the remaining gyms and most of the E4.
Can’t stop watching these challenges I absolutely love them. I’ve never done a nuzlocke myself but want to try in the future. Love your vibes man keep them coming!!
I have done nuzlockes. But never finished one.
I always end up quitting or cheating midway through.
Try it out it’s actually a challenging and rewarding experience currently doing a nuzlocke on platinum haven’t finished yet tho
@@perc120 I’m doing a X firetype only and it’s really fun
Just remember, you start nuzlocking, you can’t go back to normal play throughs 😅
36:34 I think it's ok if one of your pokemon levels up mid battle, as a lot of other nuzlockers actually use that to their advantage.
Yes I was surprised that he didn’t go by this rule as well! Thanks for pointing it out so maybe he’ll see it
Thy was coming here to say the same ^^
Even Silph has done this with e.g. Magnemite against Roxanne in Gen 3. So I was a bit surprised.
You know what'd be good for a water type gym? A grass type with storm drain
Too soon
Yeah, if someone needed to get sacked, I feel like lileep was a much more valuable Pokémon than rogenrola
@@FireFog44 The only problem with that is Lileep is weak to Dwebble’s bug moves, and Roggenrola isn’t. I agree with you, only if Dwebble was already gone.
R.I.P. Lilleep
The disrespect on the GOAT shuckle cost you in the end, sir. Rest, Power Split, Protect and Toxic paired with leftovers is a filthy filthy FILTHY moveset. This little Tortoise boi single handedly won me my bug only hardcore nuzlocke in Pokémon X :D Love Shuckle to bits
5:00 fun fact, according to manga, he apparently lost on purpose because he honestly agreed with N’s message
So, if he wanted, Adventures Alder could kick N's ass?
@OnegaZer0 I bet he still would’ve lost considering N had Zekrom, but he probably would’ve put up way more of a fight
manga is its own cannon. nothing in it applies to the games, which is a shame cause the manga is my favourite version of pokemon
Here in Italy it's 10 p.m. and now I just can relax and chill with your video, you ROCK man
You could have got Onyx before the second gym in relic passage and it with eviolite would have crazy physical defense
Silph on a Monday, what a pleasant surprise
once again thank you silph for the hard work, this put a smile on my face and black 2 was my first ever pokemon game, ill enjoy this one!
Almost right on regarding the early Ultra Ball, although the earliest you can get one is right after you get poke balls in Ruby/Sapphire with Zigazagoon's pickup
Well I guess it’s the earliest guaranteed one with no grinding then.
Nice, needed a good excuse to re binge your hard-core nuzlockes
Dwebble is one of my favorite pokemon and I never evolve it in my runs. It was nice to see him shine again!
You’ve got some awesome timing. I just finished watching your Platinum run recently and when it finished I was like “wish he had a new Gen 5 run”.
Then I see “13 minutes ago uploaded”.
Excellent! Anyway, scary timing aside. Your videos are always awesome.
"A Nosepass?" *Gasps* "Perry the Probopass!"
as a musician i love the naming theme in this run - love the runs as always Silph!
Hey Silph, fantastic and hilarious video as always! I thought it was okay to level past the level cap mid-battle in the Elite Four?
He still had Marshall left after Caitlin and was still under the Lvl. 58 level cap so when Fleet got up to 59 he was technically over leveled for the elite 4 not the champion fight
For Burgh's gym, you could've used Acid since Poison is super effective on Grass types. Otherwise, great video as always!
I love the naming scheme, like Jimi for Jimi Hendrix and Fleet for Fleetwood Mac. They all follow famous rock artists
Just a heads up for future challengws, Payback does double damage if the user moves after the target, regardless of if the target attacked
Any run that gives Probopass some love is a good run!
I swear I love your challenges I watch every ep until a new one comes out
Appreciate you Eric, thanks for the support! 🙏
your welcome
Have you thought about recording the gym battles, E4 and champion gaemplay with live voice instead of commentary, but having commentary for the remainder of the video? I feel like the video would be more engaging on the battles?
Great vid though! Rock only HC nuzlocke would be my worst nightmare😂
Hey, i love your challenges! Maybe should have used iron defense at the Burgh fight to prevent lileep dying?
I love that this team has two of my favorite Pokémon in it, Gigalith and Aggron. They’re both so cool
I agree
Honestly, I would've sacrificed Roggenrola. Lileep into eventual Cradily is much stronger.
Amazing run Silph! You won in our hearts 😉
Also, reminder that Rock Smash isn’t an HM in Gen 5 so you don’t need to move deleter to get rid of it
Another thing is that I just did a monotype Bug playthrough of White 2 cuz I’ve been inspired by your awesome videos! I didn’t do a nuzlocke just a play through and man was it still a challenge! Just like you in this video I’ve never used Crustle before on a playthrough and he clutched out victories for me like beating Ghetsis and even Iris at the end! My respect for Crustle is higher than it’s ever been 😁
If anyone was curious this was my team and their Nicknames
Dweedo - Leavanny
Vengeance - Scolipede
Curt Rustle - Crustle
Karrabola - Escavalier
Thundarach - Galvantula
Morpherno - Volcarona
What nature were these Pokemon? Please update 😊
I think you can get Ultra Balls before the first trial in one of the Alola games for having caught a certain number of Pokémon.
Challenge idea: can you beat all the Pokestar Studios movies without losing your sanity? lol
Sunday, Monday, Rain or thunder Imma always be here for Silph Nuzlocke Challenges!!! Loving the rock type
The first battle against Colress, Magnet Bomb never misses
I want you to know that I live for these uploads. I’m usually asleep when you post - but the minute I wake up and check my notifications I’m like “I MUST WATCH THIS IMMEDIATELY”
So, no pressure
What a great way to relax 😊 Looking forward to it!
If you want to go by badge numbers I'm almost certain it's possible to get ultra balls before the first gym in sword and shield thanks to the DLCs, but by time or distance from the start of the game that one may be the earliest.
If you use Dream World encounters, you can also use Dream Radar encounters, which has Shuckle (which imo should have been your starter since you can get Shuckle immediately after you get your Pokédex). Dream Radar has been essential in many of my nuzlockes, and I'd love to see more of it later.
How do you even access Dream World? The service has been shut down
@@ste---ny4lh idfk, I'm just a Dream Radar advocate
I remember doing a rock type monotype run in these games, it wasn't nuzlocke though, and my starter was my favorite pokemon line, the Rhyhorn line, it was really fun, final team was, Rhyperior, Aggron, Lunatone, Gigalith, Crustle and Terrakion
Bro, he was so close, luck honestly tripped him at the end, oof.
Well done. I love Rock Types, and it's always a joy to see them used in challenges
Man i love rock types thx silph for making this vid😊
Just sat down to start doing some editing. This was well timed, and thank you for the upload as always
Damn that was epic! Thanks for the video
Nice! Thank you for this videos! They are so much fun!
I hope you can do any run on Alola, it can be fun with you playing them, hahaha.
Kinda annoyed he lost lileep like that. Could've just used iron defense with leftovers. Would've done a better job imo. But of course crits and all that.
YOO LETS GOOOOO NEW SILPH VID. I'm also one of the early gang!!!
Silph I know you can rule it however you want these are your videos after all, but every other hardcore nuzlocker I've watched stops worrying about the levelcap once the elite four gauntlet starts. So like you should be totally fine to keep using the mon you were thought had overlevelled around 36:30
Silph has like the most awesome sounding voice lol. It sounds so epic to watch these!
Love your content dude! Really makes my day when I watch your videos!
I really respect that you present runs where you make it far, but not all the way. It’s still such rewarding and compelling content!!!
This dude is pumping out content like it's no tomorrow, appreciate the grind bro
Love watching your content Silph! This challenge ROCKED.... (Insert tumbleweed)
If remember correctly, magnet bomb doesn't miss (or that was mirror shot), so that would make sense to not miss even with the accuracy drops
Morning made, thanks for this Silph!
Devastating! A fun run as always, thanks for making awesome videos Silph
YES! a new episode! Can’t stop watching your video’s, thanks for it Silph
Excellent playthrough. I like the way you utilized Solrock and its suite of setup moves, it proved invaluable to me when I ran through Omega Ruby with Psychic types before. I'm also glad to see Aggron back in the rotation. Rock is a really solid type offensively, but Gen 5 was a really hard time for them and added a lot of support for Fighting and Steel types, and the ability buffs were bothersome to me. Still, you did a great job and I cant wait for the next run!
First time I saw Silph defeated! I'm shocked!
Another great video Silph, once again saying you are the best
Can you do a Psychic hardcore nuzlocke on Pokemon LeafGreen? You have good options for psychic pokemon and wold be cool seeing you using a mr mime
Can we just take a minute and appreciate the skill this man has to not only do nuzlock’s in every game but also with a single type weekly!?! Like I am rn doing my first ever nuzlock with all types on soul silver and it is ROUGH ngl!😅💯
Great video man, as always love the content!
One thing I would suggest is, if you're doing a challenge where a mon is locked behind the post game I bet the majority of your fans would be more than happy for you to set one of those as your starter. Just a suggestion, keep up the great work 😄
the issue is that these vids are meant to show that its possible with nothing more than what the base game itself gives you. hacking roggenrola early is fine, you'll get one later anyway guaranteed so getting it early makes no difference (you'll notice that he skipped the onix encounter he could have gotten in that area where roggenrola was normally first available, because if he had not used hacks then that cave would have been roggenrolas encounter location). hacking in a pokemon you cant normally get at all defeats the point of the challenge.
@@ahumanbeingfromtheearth1502 While I see your point, I would argue that the distinction between base game availability and post game availability is not a big difference, as long as the devs intended on you being able to use them in the game. I can totally understand not making your starter a mon such as Rhyhorn or Omanyte because they aren't in the game, but Archen, Tirtouga, or Larvitar, were intended to be useable, and may have made the challenge possible.
@@RealBigFudge uh, no? I'm not trying to be rude, but I genuinely cannot understand why you think that doesn't make a big difference
@@ahumanbeingfromtheearth1502 Because, as I said, they were programmed into the games. That is the biggest distinction between which Pokémon should be used in a challenge.
It'd be great if you played one of these in Challenge mode since the gym leaders all get one additional Pokémon and of a species that they don't already have in their team, and the Elite 4 get the same plus really good held items. They're listed in their Bulbapedia pages. It'd be a great challenge! And also fun because it'd be a bit of a fresh one, since it's a bit different than the regular runs.
Solrock and Lunatone are Pokemon I'd really like to use in a playthrough sometime, maybe even in like Gen 3. They're pretty mediocre overall but in the contexts they're in in the games, they have good utility with being Rock-types not weak to either Ground or Fighting, and are just strong enough to be useful. I used a Lunatone in a ROM hack once and it was pretty decent actually.
Silph on date -
SILPH: I know a SPOT
Girl: Ok Wha-
SILPH: POKEMON DREAMWORLD! WE GET ANOTHER ENCOUNTER
you could get a gigalith from an in game trade via trading a wild emolga. the traded gigalith from the npc already has adamant nature
rock is my 2nd favorite type and i loved playing both BW and B2W2 so i hope to enjoy this video
These are the best thing about the start of the week. Love these, Silph. Thank you for blessing us!
I remember a couple years ago I found a shiny 💫Boldore in the cave where Bianca "helps" you (where the game forces you into double battles). Since I had already found a shiny Spoink outside the same cave the previous week (and I had a shiny Rattata on that save from that one place where you can catch wild Eevee past the Castelia sewers), I was a bit nervous about the double battles. I trained up my Heracross to be strong enough to K.O. her more threatening 'mon with Close Combat just in case. And wouldn't I know it, a shiny Boldore shows up. I acted quickly and killed off her team, got rid of the second wild 'mon, and caught it. Neutral nature, good IVs.
The VERY NEXT DAY, I find another shiny Boldore in the exact same room. Bianca killed it because I wasn't prepared but I didn't care since I already had yesterday's shiny. That's the one time I can say "Meh, I already have that shiny."
I’d call this one a win. That RNG with Drudigon was absolute trash and it definitely cost you the battle.
The earliest I have ever been for a Sliph Spectre video.
I was hoping to do this run myself but my DS is damaged.
Hey silph, do you ever plan on doing something like these for the alola games?
Just a suggestion instead of switching oshawot in this challenge, you could have switched Tepig to make things a little bit harder
Magnet Bomb never misses
Just ate dinner after a long day of school (I have one more extracurricular in a few hours) and I love winding down by watching your videos, Silph :)
Challenges I’d like to see 😁
Fairy in Ultra Sun/Moon
Fighting in Sword/Shield
Water in Soul Silver
Poison in Emerald
Dark in Omega Ruby
I haven’t seen any comments about him not getting onix down by the sewers? Maybe this is touched on later in the video I’m only halfway
I feel like picking it up early woulda been a huge help and a fodder option for later
But I definitely understand skipping jt at victory road lol
Silph! So happy to see you upload!
14:20 magnet bomb can't miss that's why it was so lucky
Good job on the run btw
Man, I totally slept on Crustle. That thing had so many sweeps in this run.
The King! We need weekly’s! We miss you too much
Maybe return to normal types again as they are my favorite type
A nosepass? PERRY THE NOSEPASS!!!
Babe wake up new SilphSpectre video just dropped
Yoooo thanks for the heart, Silph, this made my day!
THE METALLICA MASTER OF PUPPETS. SILPH IS THE GOAT
have you ever thought about trying a gen 1 poison only run? as far as i know it's never been done
I don’t know if it was on purpose, but I really appreciate aggron’s nickname. The term “heavy metal” was coined to describe Jimi Hendrix’s sound, so naming the steel type after him was a nice touch.
Sure would have been nice to have had a mon with a super effective attack and a flat out immunity for the last gym.
Magnet Bomb never misses Silph, it's like Aerial Ace and Shock Wave but it's only exclusive to few lines.
Missed an opportunity to name the solrock Martin
Damn. Black 2 must been the best version. It has good difficulty itself, and still challenges are so enjoyable
I just realised that Roxie's guitar looks somewhat similar to whirlipede, her ace.
You inspired me to try out some challenges like these, they're so much fun
Love your videos, keep going, Silph!
15:40 aaaaaaaannd copyright strikes 😂 fire use tho
This video was on point. Had me laugh a good couple times. And that 90 day fiance bit, yeah uh. My wife likes that show, I may have seen far too much of 90 day fiance, it's not healthy.
Silph, you should drop a stage two only hardcore nuzlocke.
It's so fitting that you posted this on my birthday and my name means rock. Losing Lileep sucks.
Ayy Happy Belated Peter! Would have seen this earlier but we just completed our move so I was out of commission for a couple days! Hope it was a great one though
@@SilphSpectre My friend, it started really horribly after I made a really nice post to my followers that went like this, "You know, after Legends Arceus, I have a much bigger respect for this simple Pokemon.
Its species was the target of abuse and ostracization.
I feel its pain.
I know what that's like. You only want to be happy-go-lucky but people just push you away.
And so over time you harden into something that's easily irritable and explode from the smallest problem.
It's amazing how TPC have made Pokemon increasingly relatable with their many games. I WAS Hisuian Voltorb." Then an asswipe called this cringe after I was relating to Mike Wazowski from Monsters University. Talk about killing the sentiment, after praying on my vulnerability.
Fire red / Leaf green with only water type pokemon 👀
Always love seeing your notifications for videos. It makes my day! :)
Silph - I think you can get an ultra ball on the first route in RS from Pickup?
oof. another loss on the counter. this is the 7th one if we count the water-only on Black. better luck next time (would reseting until you made it pass burgh with lileep alive be a reasonable strat? it did seem possible to do it. or maybe even allow yourself to get onyx on relic passage make the run possible?)
regardless great video silph, always having fun with your challenges.
