Still have not seen a Fire Red/Leaf Green Hardcore Fire Nuzlocke. Charmeleon vs Misty at level 21 ( maybe 22 with edging to level up on Staryu) With the right nature, speed ivs, and Secret Power, it might just be possible to outspeed, smash with Secret Power and either Crit or Paralyze, and allow you to win, or gamble with smokescreen for water pulse miss.
Hopefully he keeps making vids with different teams restrictions! Pokédex colour, greater/less than a certain height or weight, theme teams; there’s a lot to choose from!
@@imbattlnscurvy5922 cant tell if the 'But yeah, super skillful' is sarcastic or just agreeing, but if it is sarcastic, those 15 resets were bcs luck wasn't lucking how it should, it was impossible to get past Roxanne without luck, after Roxanne he remained without deaths until Drake.
I mean, the only part that made the run "impossible" was the first gym. The rest of it is like any other one in difficulty. Not that it isn't impressive but it is something to note.
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.
Wow! You did an amazing job with this run. They way you didn’t have any deaths until the elite four and you didn’t have any more resets was truly amazing. The self proclaimed “best nuzlocker” UA-camr should watch this. The dedication with the first gym leader and then using a castform effectively was amazing.
Dude what a run! Easily my favourite that you've done, the strats you used were ingenious and the risks you took with fire blast at the end really added some jeopardy. Bravo sir, loved it
You know it's a good (Sun)day when Silph posts new video. Thank you!!! Btw would you consider doing a hardcore nuzlocke with Grass type in HGSS? I heard it is almost as impossible as this one but never dare to try one. I know you did the one for Crystal but the game was old. Thanks in advance!!!
I really hope you never get tired of making these, they seem like a TON of work. I love watching them. Excited to see what other challenges you can come up with once all the types are done!
This video really hits home Silph. Ruby is literally the first Pokémon game I ever played, and the nostalgia is everything. This challenge was so entertaining as well.
Great run man! Honestly the Fire Blast luck in this video was statistically improbable, but that’s the awesome part of playing the games. You never know how a run will go until you do it. Way to tackle a run that most would have deemed impossible!
I'm glad ppl have caught on to this type of playing pokemon. Becoming a type master is a good way to make the same old boring pokemon feel refreshing and new.
39:08 Did someone else noticed the guy that appeared in the empty pokemon slot? I MIGHT be wrong, but is probably some joke with the name ´´Drake´´ that i didn´t get. It´s really funny, though.
Man I don’t know what id do without Silphs weekly nuzlocke episodes, I haven’t been excited for a UA-camrs next uploads in awhile but silph never disappoints with his hilarious yet really well edited videos. You can tell he puts a lot of effort in each play through and in each video In general, love your content man and I’m looking forward to more nuzlockes if I may recommend any challenges I was thinking a poison type only on either Pokémon omega ruby or alpha sapphire, p.s there my favorite remakes lol.
its a shame not only slugma can only be obtained in a second route on emerald, but the fact roxanne has a second geodude in there its 100% impossible to do it with only a level cap torchic, even if it had perfect IVs it just wouldnt cut it. if only it could learn bullet seed (i mean hes still a bird and i think some of the flying types do learn it...) great video as always silph, using my favorite starter at my favorite gen once again.
It's technically possible I suppose, if you get enough crits and misses from Roxanne's Pokemon. How many resets is that gonna take though? Even without actually resetting the run.
@@Zerox_Z21 you would probably need 5-6 consecutive crits just to get past the geodudes not to mention that they would have to miss all their attacks or use harden (ember will always hit harder than any other move torchic can get at that point but the AI can be wonky with status moves anyway so they do have a chance to waste their turn with it) which is simply an absurd mathematical improbability. a 100% perfect torchic could probably safely setup growls assuming at least a first turn miss, but that would only be good for the first geodude. and honestly if it isnt to make complete resets everytime you might as well just allow the lv cap to be 1 lv higher to get combusken. thats literally the only impossible hurdle in the run.
The Sinnoh remakes have some pretty busted teams for the Sinnoh trainers (in the rematches). So Sinnoh True Power would work really well, they question is just in what game they should be played.
That struggle with Roxanne at the beginning and the set-up are one of my favorite things about HC Nuzlockes - getting around crazy obstacles and having to optimize every aspect of your Pokemon you can.
It honestly makes me sad when I finish each video cause then I have to wait for the next I love watching the videos man keep up the work your extremely underrated
That seaking interaction made up for the grey-zone rule bend. Absolutely loved to see castform actually be used for once (that thing made its home in my PC)
Awesome video -- great work, Silph! I've always loved the area around Fallarbor Town; beautiful scenery and lots of interesting pokemon to build a team with.
Really a top hardcore nuzlocke! One supposedly impossible challenge, made possible! A very bold attempt! Maybe one day I can try that craziness as well! Well done, Silph!
Silph, watching your Nuzlocke challenges is always a thrill. From your humor in the videos to your strategies, it’s genuinely a fantastic ride to go on from beginning to end!
10:58 attempt 15… So many attempts… And it looks like, given you got that one female, Bella that you kept resetting for a perfect IV each time…. You love to make your gaming painful, huh? 🤔 44:05 So it seems it’s the beginning part of this challenge in this version that makes it seem super difficult to impossible… As after a few badges, you don’t seem to struggle at all… 😮 Just one death too… Almost deathless- Incredible 😎👍🏻🤘🏻 You’re number ☝🏼
Great video, go gen 3! A word of advice that could have helped for the first gym where every EV mattered: EV's are applied at level up AND when deposited in the PC (so level 100 pokemon can still br EV trained). But what that means is that if you deposited and withdrew your Torchic right before going into the Roxanne battle, you could have slightly buffed your stats and the odds of winning.
excellent work! proof of silph being a nuzelockin master gettin the only deathers right at the eliete four. also i wanna see you do the avatar run with the fire nation!
Man, these last two Nuzlocke runs Silph has done have been painful to watch. At least Silph managed to pull through to the end despite the low number of Fire Types in Hoenn roadblock that was Roxanne. Congrats on making it through to the end.
Great run Silph, you're the best!!! How about a Psychic team on Pokémon LeafGreen, with Abra being your starter, you can catch a wild one and trade for Mr. Mime
I know I am so late to this video, but the Pekachu voiceover was too funny to me. Thanks for all the videos. I am several months behind due to the birth of my daughter, but hoping to get caught up soon!
I loved this run it was so exciting, some stressfull moments as well, on the first gym it could have helped you a lot the focus energy move, maybe having more crit opportunities would work those embers vs roxanne
Great video bro don't ever stop making your videos. Your content is awesome. It was rough in the beginning it pull it though. Keep up the success on your channel bro.
I was thinking about doing this challenge and the odds stacked against But then our "are you kidding me/that is not good/literally 1HP/hyped move description explanation" King comes in clutch once again👌

Are we ever getting that gen 4 true power tournament? I miss the true power series
Still have not seen a Fire Red/Leaf Green Hardcore Fire Nuzlocke. Charmeleon vs Misty at level 21 ( maybe 22 with edging to level up on Staryu)
With the right nature, speed ivs, and Secret Power, it might just be possible to outspeed, smash with Secret Power and either Crit or Paralyze, and allow you to win, or gamble with smokescreen for water pulse miss.
Once Scarlet and Voielt come out we are extending the timer by 16 months, but it’s not enough
Could u soul like with flygon hg
Silph here is a impossible challenge, pokemon stadium 2 with rentals but using just one type
I'm scared for the day Silph runs out of type/game combos, these videos are great.
Hopefully he keeps making vids with different teams restrictions! Pokédex colour, greater/less than a certain height or weight, theme teams; there’s a lot to choose from!
Maybe also do romhacks or sth with the monotype challenge :D
Theres a bunch of rom hacks out there that would make good nuzlocke challenges
Not to worry. As there will always be a new generation where one can do a monotype run.
Still waiting for Pokemon Black only Flying-types Nuzlocke.
Its worth acknowledging that he managed to get all the way to the 4th E4 without a death in an 'impossible' run.
And with 15 resets
But yeah, super skillful
@@imbattlnscurvy5922 cant tell if the 'But yeah, super skillful' is sarcastic or just agreeing, but if it is sarcastic, those 15 resets were bcs luck wasn't lucking how it should, it was impossible to get past Roxanne without luck, after Roxanne he remained without deaths until Drake.

@@RedMadMichael I swear I'm not trying to be mean
@@imbattlnscurvy5922 They wre asking since you know its hard to read sarcasm
Finding Torkoal over Slugma very likely saved the run.
Yep that 4x weakness to water and ground would have screwed Silph
@@Oost129 how did he faked it?
RED HEAD PUBES- FIRE CROTCH! PUBE SALAD!
its crazy how i came across this channel a week ago and now ive binge watched nearly every hardcore nuzlocke silphs done.
That's insane; thanks for the support! Gonna do my best to get new episodes up for you so you won't have to wait long for more 😅
Me too
Cause they’re so enjoyable!!
“Nosepass, I’ve come to bargain”
The commitment is really commendable man! Just getting past the first gym leader took far more patience and thinking than I could ever manage lol
I could, for the live of me, not even imagine the pain of retrying the first gym in a game 15 times! Mad respect, Silph!
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.
To add just a bit more challenge, I think it would be fun if you can only have the same amount of team members as the next gym
I love this idea 😂
I really do love watching these videos. Definitely keep up your hard work you nuzlocking legend!
32:29
Yes, finally!!! I love brick break soo much! I'm glad someone else does too!! Much respect for the clever Castform idea.
02:40 took me out bruh!! 😂😂😂😂😂😅😅
Wow! You did an amazing job with this run. They way you didn’t have any deaths until the elite four and you didn’t have any more resets was truly amazing. The self proclaimed “best nuzlocker” UA-camr should watch this. The dedication with the first gym leader and then using a castform effectively was amazing.
I always look forward to these videos (: I really like most of the fire types available for this challenge
Despite being a smaller number, the encounters definitely are really cool ones!
Great resoect for putting me in the run. BRENT was awesome. My fav gen 3 starter finally help you defeat roxanne after bout 15 tries wow
Silph with the nice touch by playing a snippet of Amanda by Boston. Perfect.
Dude what a run! Easily my favourite that you've done, the strats you used were ingenious and the risks you took with fire blast at the end really added some jeopardy. Bravo sir, loved it
I like how you combined the nuzlocke rule intro with what the challenge was. Efficiency 📈
You know it's a good (Sun)day when Silph posts new video. Thank you!!!
Btw would you consider doing a hardcore nuzlocke with Grass type in HGSS? I heard it is almost as impossible as this one but never dare to try one. I know you did the one for Crystal but the game was old. Thanks in advance!!!

Seriously, you help me so much with these videos. They're like a relaxing pill to my anxious nature. Thank you
Awesome!
One of the best types for a Gen 3 run, right? I love your creativity, Silph!

16:37 "Well it looks like a Fire-type run is one of those rare opportunities for an easy Wattson battle."
Magcarjoe: *crying*
ok now I understand why there were a couple gaps in uploads. This is incredible
I know the True Power series doesn't get the numbers that these runs do, but if you ever decide to return to that, I'd definitely watch!
The Sinnoh remakes have some pretty busted teams for the Sinnoh trainers (in the rematches).
So Sinnoh True Power would work really well, they question is just in what game they should be played.
Oh hell yea! If anyone can do it, it's you man. 🤜🤛 godspeed, Silph.
I’ve long thought this to be the most impossible of the hardcore nuzlockes out there cause of the first gym… let’s see how this goes
As a Party Crashers fan, I find it hilarious that you won against Roxanna with a Brent of all possible names.
Impressive and entertaining as always! I’m actually playing through Ruby right now and first time using Camerupt after all these years
That struggle with Roxanne at the beginning and the set-up are one of my favorite things about HC Nuzlockes - getting around crazy obstacles and having to optimize every aspect of your Pokemon you can.
It honestly makes me sad when I finish each video cause then I have to wait for the next I love watching the videos man keep up the work your extremely underrated
That seaking interaction made up for the grey-zone rule bend. Absolutely loved to see castform actually be used for once (that thing made its home in my PC)
That grind at the beginning deserves a like and subscribe by everyone watching this. Slyph you mad boss!
Awesome video -- great work, Silph!
I've always loved the area around Fallarbor Town; beautiful scenery and lots of interesting pokemon to build a team with.
Really a top hardcore nuzlocke! One supposedly impossible challenge, made possible! A very bold attempt! Maybe one day I can try that craziness as well! Well done, Silph!
A firey way to spend my birthday is watching silph thank you sir
i definitely think using castform does not break any rules. really cool seeing it used in a nuzlocke
As long as castform is a fire type when hes using any move except sunny day, id call that fair
You have no idea how happy it makes me to see your Nuzlocks after a day of work. Its a nice surprise
One of the runs I enjoyed the most! Battles, storytelling, jokes. Great job
I never thought i would see a castform put in so much work in a nuzlocke, but holy crap Natalie the goat.
This made my day, was looking to forward to watching this all day and I was not disappointed
Never have I seen something so amazing. Here’s to many more years
I wish I could insert the gif of the little boy from The Incredibles screaming THAT WAS AWESOME!
I was fully prepared to watch this grown man fight the first gym member of my childhood game...well done sir
You've been quite consistent on the uploads Mr. Silph. Please more, your commentary documentary are so good.
This was one of the few times I thought Silph was gonna meet his match and again I was wrong! Amazing video as always Silph. Stay amazing 🔥🔥🔥
Love your videos as always!
Also waiting for some more tournaments of power. Do only champions!
Top quality videos look forward to them everytime they come out, would love more gen 4 videos if possible
You deserve a like for that tv stunt you pulled 😂😂😂
Silph, watching your Nuzlocke challenges is always a thrill. From your humor in the videos to your strategies, it’s genuinely a fantastic ride to go on from beginning to end!
Ya know you could’ve used Torchic’s focus energy to increase your crit odds from 1/16 to 1/4
10:58 attempt 15… So many attempts… And it looks like, given you got that one female, Bella that you kept resetting for a perfect IV each time…. You love to make your gaming painful, huh? 🤔
44:05 So it seems it’s the beginning part of this challenge in this version that makes it seem super difficult to impossible… As after a few badges, you don’t seem to struggle at all… 😮
Just one death too… Almost deathless- Incredible 😎👍🏻🤘🏻
You’re number ☝🏼
17:40 they're crackheads lmaooo
Amazing video Silph, you nailed it! Can't wait for the next challenge!
Excellent work! This nuzlocke sure was tricky!
😀😀😀
A Silph video to start my day, nothing better
You know what doesn’t make sense.
Sunny Day weakens Water moves, but doesn’t affect Ice at all.
Great video, go gen 3! A word of advice that could have helped for the first gym where every EV mattered: EV's are applied at level up AND when deposited in the PC (so level 100 pokemon can still br EV trained). But what that means is that if you deposited and withdrew your Torchic right before going into the Roxanne battle, you could have slightly buffed your stats and the odds of winning.
So weird not starting the video with the usual spiel lol. Awesome video as always!
No one show this to MandJTV. Castform getting a spotlight here would make him insufferable. Dude's got an obsession.
that kind of commitment is 100% worth a like at least!
excellent work! proof of silph being a nuzelockin master gettin the only deathers right at the eliete four. also i wanna see you do the avatar run with the fire nation!
Already hyped I especially love when you do these for gen 3. You're the best!
The dedication to make this work jesus. Really good video man
Duane's KO was a perfect example of Icarus flying too close to the sun. You kept getting too lucky with those fire blasts!

Man, these last two Nuzlocke runs Silph has done have been painful to watch. At least Silph managed to pull through to the end despite the low number of Fire Types in Hoenn roadblock that was Roxanne. Congrats on making it through to the end.
That whole ash/dust/flute thing is just dam good script writing always keep it up dude
Try a Nuzlocke where you can only use pokémon that the villain uses. (ex. team Plasma for White 2)
Great run Silph, you're the best!!!
How about a Psychic team on Pokémon LeafGreen, with Abra being your starter, you can catch a wild one and trade for Mr. Mime
Love love LOVE your videos Silph! Been missing you.
i have tried this run before and yes, it is that difficult to get going. I'm glad you pulled it off, cause i thought it was nigh impossible.
It’s so cool how tactical this guy is
Torkoal was definitely the saviour of this run. One of the few really bulky fire types
Drake had God's plan
I will admit. Was taken aback by the numel's name. Flattered to share the name with the pokemon you're so fond of, Mr Silph!
I know I am so late to this video, but the Pekachu voiceover was too funny to me. Thanks for all the videos. I am several months behind due to the birth of my daughter, but hoping to get caught up soon!
This one was insane, what a challenge ! You're amazing!
I loved this run it was so exciting, some stressfull moments as well, on the first gym it could have helped you a lot the focus energy move, maybe having more crit opportunities would work those embers vs roxanne
Great video bro don't ever stop making your videos. Your content is awesome. It was rough in the beginning it pull it though. Keep up the success on your channel bro.
Awh yeah, this is gonna be GOOD.
Despite all odds, you did it...43/8. Amazing.
I didn’t even know Vulpix was on Ruby.
I was thinking about doing this challenge and the odds stacked against
But then our "are you kidding me/that is not good/literally 1HP/hyped move description explanation" King comes in clutch once again👌
This one reminds me of the diamond/pearl run, where it's somewhat luck based but also a ton of skill, great video
Hahaha! That was fun! And Amanda the Castform just wrecked! ☀️☀️☀️
“Impossible run” in which you completely destroy every major battle after Roxanne
One of your best videos yet 🙏🏽
This was cool so glad to see blaziken be used by a professional. I used to solo this gen with just blaziken but that ment he was over leveled.
How the f Silph has SO MUCH patience for this.
Im gonna cry how much i needed this today, thank you
Yessir love to see it 🔥🔥🔥 gotta give you props for the grind bro bro 🔥🔥🔥
