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 2Hardcore Nuzlocke with only Fire 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.

  • @cullenhutchison6528

    As you were sweeping through Grimsley, your attack kept on getting lower and lower because of Superpower's secondary effect. It didn't matter this time, but it's something to keep in mind. Earlier in the video as well, you missed a KO due to the attack drop from Superpower that you thought you had calculated for.

    Pete, as in the saying "for Pete's sake", is Saint Peter, guardian of the Pearly Gates and one of the 12 apostles of Jesus. This implies quite a bit about the lore of the Pokemon world, such as the existence of the Roman Empire, the Catholic Church, and a Pope. Will we ever see a Poke-Pope? What's the church's stance on Ghost types that seem to explicitly be human spirits like Yamask and Phantump? Which pokemon are safe to eat during Lent? All these questions and more will never be answered.
