      I know it sounds silly, but the advice makes sense. When doing risk analysis before or during a battle, how many Pokemon you are willing to sacrifice is often a factor. It makes more sense to take more risks to try and keep more pokemon alive early game than late game, because if you sacrifice too many mons, it matters a lot more when you can't even get the ball rolling.

    An interesting realization I've had about this style of hardcore nuzlockes is that they play similarly to Rogue-like games(like Gungeon and Hades). Every run is different, and you keep doing runs, improving your personal skill until you beat the game. The big difference here is that runs can last 30 hours instead of 30 minutes. Turn-based strategy game vs bullet-hell though, so that may make up for the hefty time of pokemon runs.

      Late, but.
      They're not pokemon experts by any means, and the kinds of questionable group decisions they made were occasionally amusingly questionable. They edited their Soul silver rom so Red used their champion team from Fire Red, which, while it definitely made it easier, was fun. Similar energy, but less chaotic than say, Alpharad's nuzlocke, with touches of their comedy and DBZ bits throughout.
      Iirc, they did a blind Moon nuzlocke that actually went pretty well, you could see their growth through that as they started to do things like consider getting crit, consider team members complementing eachother, and even do things like pivot, which was cool.
      Their fall from grace was their Emerald Nuzlocke, where they wiped to Winona, but instead of being transparent about it and continuing for the content or ending it, they tried to pass it off like it didn't happen. Some nutty sleuths noticed discrepancies between a few videos, and between that and the larger scale burnout they were facing as a content group as a whole, that was kinda the end of it. Kinda unfortunate, since they had actually built up a lot of collective skill, and seeing effective Nuzlocke by comittee was actually sorta novel; most good nuzlockers run solo, most groups are bad, but that's the fun of it.

    I've encountered 4 shinies in 3 of my Gen 4 Nuzlockes (Platinum, Platinum Waterlocke, and SoulSilver), of which I caught 3 of them.
    One of them was a Graveler in the Waterlocke that exploded before I could catch it. :(
    The other three were a Tentacool in SoulSilver, a Bidoof and a Shellos in my current Platinum run, the Shellos now being a Gastrodon and on my team. I caught it almost immediately after starting to train up my regular Shellos, just after beating Commander Mars in Valley Windworks, so I replaced my regular with my Shiny. Bidoof was found while I was EV training an Aipom for Fantina because I didn't trust my Luxio to handle things. Because I lost my Roselia and Kricketune to an Ace Trainer's Haunter with Shadow Ball, Curse, Mean Look and Confuse Ray, and my Luxio got confused when he had to take it out, so I had to sac off my Kricketune to heal him so he could finish the battle. My Roselia died because I needed to heal my Luxio before Kricketune's death, because Roselia had the highest Sp. Def of my team, but then he got trapped by Mean Look, Cursed and Sp. Def dropped by Shadow Ball, and he only had Giga Drain to attack with, so I just had to watch him die, which was really heartbreaking, coz I really wanted to use a Roserade on my team.
    I found all of the shinies while I was grinding, either for levels or for EVs, or both. And I have NEVER encountered full odds shinies in my Gen 4 games before I started doing Nuzlockes.
    In my Black/White Nuzlockes, I only really grind on wild Audino though, so I probably only have a chance of encountering Shaking Spot shinies, not that I really want one of those...
    And I don't even need to EV train against wild Pokémon in Gen 6, when I can instead do Super Training, which is much faster.
    I've also only encountered 1 Shiny in gen 6 and 1 shiny in gen 7 and none at all in gen 8 yet, as well as none ever in gen 5.
    I will catch any Shiny Pokémon that I find, but I will only use those that will actually be helpful to me, like the Shellos.

    Here is my view on the Shiny clause: First off it depends on the game esp romhacks if the encounter rates are modded there is no shiny clause and even when the shiny clause is in effect I am not allowed to intentionally farm them. Also replacing pokemon with shiny versions is always allowed. Also there is no issue with catching all shinies even when the nuzlock rules would not allow for it but it just gets put into the pc and can't be used exept maybe for hms in older games but not in combat.

    When you mentioned the shiny clause I felt like I should say that my shiny clause is the simple one of just replacing whatever living pokemon with the shiny (my clause for trade evos [when applicable] is that I can ignore dupes in a route and catch another pokemon in that evo line and release it to evolve the trade evo), HOWEVER, the only 2 shinies I got in nuzlockes (Also my only shinies in general) were first encounters. Shiny gastly in eterna forest I platinum, and shiny finneon in bdsp (was fishing for a finneon, unfortunately it died right before the e4 because Barry's torterra lived the ice beam)
    So basically I have a pretty simple shiny clause, it's just never came into effect.

    I have been thinking about using shinies as resurrection for fainted ones, so costs me the shiny, but i dunno.
    Ludwig talking cool, but many of his pkmn faint in illogical ways, eh?
    I play randomized, so abilities cannot be planned out beforehand, unless i check the spoiler log.
    So i'd be lucky to not feel the 33% or lower HP buffs, but unlucky to fight an otherwise doable elite 4 team with huge/pure power on their physical attacker(s). And lately i started to force lvl 45 pokemon on trainers to be fully evolved.
    You know what's fun to use? Shuckle with dark/ghost types and shell/battle armor ability XD Super tank.
    No super effective moves and crits against it. Plus immune to 3 types.
    I play gen 3 still, btw... eventually gen 4.
    In the future i'll buff up trainers to the maximum of what the randomizer can do, and force all trainer pkmn being fully evolved at lowest level.
