Heya, it's me! My favourite Grass Type is a tie between Lurantis and Chesnaught. Chesnaught was my first ever Pokémon, so I hold a ton of nostalgic attachment. Lurantis is a really cool reaper lookin' creature, and the shiny is amazing too. (Plus, Contrary is just busted.)
fun fact: the nuzlocke challenge is named after a Nuzleaf from the first run of its kind (the guy who made the OG comics called the challenge runs "Pokemon Hard Mode", but the other name stuck more). The Nuzleaf was named Locke, after the LOST character. He did not make it to the end, but his legacy lives on in the very name of the challenge. so yeah. the LOST name theme for this run fits even more than it appears, actually. i just think that's neat!
I didn't even make the connection at first, but I loved those original comics so much. Locke would keep coming back to offer advice and eventually Locke was a puppet of Mewtwo?! They were so good.
As a zoomer, I don’t think the comics have aged well enough for someone past their time like me to get them, but there are a few bits that aged perfectly. I’m lookin’ at you, Absoulja boy
My favorite Grass type is and always will be Torterra for 3 reasons. One, I was able to pretty much solo most of Diamond when I was a kid with one, two, I'm a sucker for mythology and loved it's world turtle reference, and lastly, turtles are easily in my top 5 favorite animals.
When it comes to grass types, I’m particularly fond of Grovyle and Rowlet! No particular opinions on shiny Grovyle, but I absolutely love Rowlet’s shiny, the mint green is so good.
Losing a team member to a Torkoak is pretty fitting considering the theme. An almost literal Smoke Monster. Not getting a Nuzleaf seems like a missed oppritunity given the history of Nuzlocke.
I agree, but Nuzleaf isn't available in Sapphire and I though I needed a water type at the time. It might be doable with Ruby though. The 4th gym would just maybe be a slaughter.
Tropius is life. Tropius is bae. I mean it is a flying long neck dinosaur who produces bananas. I think I made my point. Thank you. No questions needed.
I LOVED this run. Grass types look underwhelming on paper, but they have so much utility and so many ways to power up that they can be insanely broken.
@@invividcolor i got to season 4 and then it just had so much going on that I couldnt watch it anymore. The first and second season were so good though
After the Kyogre encounter, Professor Birch will upgrade your Pokédex into a national dex and you could’ve had the chance to get more grass types like Leafeon.
I'm a huge fan of how you do these shiny only runs. Lot's of other ytbers kinda jsur describe the events that happen cut and dry while you throw in some fun jokes 😂
tell me crazy, but this was peak pokemon. this remastered editions looked sooooo good, felt soo nice, and still got the old classic pokemon charme. i really really loved it
Wally is sick because he lived close to Mt. Chimney, that's why he moved to Verdanturf, to get away from the ash and heal. Him being out in the world was part of his healing process.
I've also started a grass monotype challenge in Omega Ruby because I love Treecko and its evolutions, but it's not the best choice of the starters, so I wanted a good reason to use it (btw I'm currently stuck in the flying type gym wish me luck)
Bulbasaur, with it being my favorite pokemon. It’s so useful, especially in OG gen 1. It’s huggable, and my sleep schedule died months ago, (typing this at 11:47) so Sleep Powder would be great. And just look at that smile!
I love shiny nuzlockes. Every time I play shiny only. I feel pain and effects from the loss of a loved Pokemon. It also makes you love your Pokemon so much more because when they are gone, they are gone.
Highly recommend pkmn fused dimensions. Shiny rate is 1/400 and really cool fusion monsters from existing mons. New base stats, evo methods and even some megas.
Always nice to see you uploaded! Can't wait to see the video, being a shiny hunter myself i'm quite excited. My favourite grass type is a tie between applin and phanthump!
Favorite Grass-type is the Decidueye fam, but I wanna shout out Tropius. Love that fella! EDIT: HELL YEAH TROPIUS!!! Also, his nickname both confirmed the Lost nicknaming theme for me and reminded me why Nuzlockes are called Nuzlockes, lol.
I was watching this while doing my own treeko hunt in oras but on console so no speed up or adjusted odds currently on approximately 4131 resets averaging 40 seconds a reset. No shiny poochyena yet either.
I can’t seem to find the comment about what TV series he names the Pokémon after. It’s Lost. One of the most hyped up series of the early 2000. It’s a must watch.
I was fully boutta say ‘From the first statement this video was a lie’ but you corrected yourself and acknowledged the shite that is the grass typing. Also I’ve seen monotype nuzlockes and shiny nuzlockes but not both, I like to see it, please get therapy for the amount of time this video took ❤️ Also; that product placement was some of the best I’ve ever seen, did not expect it whatsoever, love it
Been doing a nuzlocke of these games recently and all you actually need for Watson is grovyle to learn power up punch after buying the tm from the mart to sweep (just let it hold a cherri berry and your golden)
I tried this legitimately on my heart gold copy and I only made it to the 4th gym before I got slaughtered it took me 5 months I believe just to get there with the one in 8,192 chance
Amazing run and video as always sir! I appreciate the shiny aspect as while the rates were raised, I don't mind at all as I can't imagine how much time that would take normally and that it is a nice visual change. Excellent strategy and performance and I am looking forward to whatever comes next. Best to you and thanks again for the amazing content!
Thank you! This is so kind! I was worried people would care about the raised shiny rates, but it would take potentially months to get a video out, haha
@@invividcolor How do you lower the shiny rates that much in the 3ds games? I've always been interested in doing a similar nuzlocke and this sounds super helpful
Ah I'm trying a Grass Nuzlocke in Pokemon Moon. I am up to the point to fight Totem Salazzle. So far I have Dartrix, Bayleef, Petili, Formantis, Bellsprout, and Eevee until I get back to Melemele after obtaining there Charizard Ride Pager for Leafeon. I also plan to get the Tsareena line after beating Mallow and once I beat Olivia I can then go and add Roselia from Ula'ula Meadow.
In a mono type run I completely agree grass is one of the worst. It's got so many weaknesses. But in a normal run or even a regular nuzlocke I say it's q good staple type Especially pokemon who get early growth sleep powder and leech seed. Personally I love grass types. Not my favorite that goes to ground or poison But easily top 5 typing for me personally. Also great video
Speaking of Team Aqua, I'm Aqua Admin Donny (short for Donovan) and my Pokèmon are Swampert, Mightyena and Pelipper; and, in the Post-game of Pokèmon Delta Emerald (the modern remake of Pokèmon Emerald Version), it's revealed that me and Aqua Admin Shelly have feelings for each other, like the Aqua/Magma Grunts at the Battle Maison in Pokèmon ORAS.
Before I finish the video, I did this challenge, albiet with no shinies, and my final team was Sceptile, Craydily, Breloom, Leavanny, Cacturne, and Ludicolo, so I'm curious to see what his final team will look like. (I got Leavanny after the National Dex cuz that's when it's available and you get the NatDex before the end of the game)
I love both victreebel and Appletun since appletun was the only one of my og swsh team members I didn’t plan and when I was doing a race with my cousin as a kid I got a first encounter shiny belsprout
What is your favorite Grass Type?
Bulbasaur
Psnote: they are cute lil babies
leafeon
Honeslty, gotta go with bulbasaur
Heya, it's me! My favourite Grass Type is a tie between Lurantis and Chesnaught. Chesnaught was my first ever Pokémon, so I hold a ton of nostalgic attachment. Lurantis is a really cool reaper lookin' creature, and the shiny is amazing too. (Plus, Contrary is just busted.)
Trevenant for the win babeeee
"He has a team full of scary dragons but I got a team of shiny plants" underrated line. Loved the run congrats
Thank you, thank you!

so yeah. the LOST name theme for this run fits even more than it appears, actually. i just think that's neat!
When he named treecko Kate I INSTANTLY knew this was LOST theme lol
I didn't even make the connection at first, but I loved those original comics so much. Locke would keep coming back to offer advice and eventually Locke was a puppet of Mewtwo?! They were so good.
As a zoomer, I don’t think the comics have aged well enough for someone past their time like me to get them, but there are a few bits that aged perfectly. I’m lookin’ at you, Absoulja boy
i thought it was shakespeare until the 3rd encounter...
Steven: wait, it’s all grass types?
Breloom and sceptile: always has been.
My favorite Grass type is and always will be Torterra for 3 reasons. One, I was able to pretty much solo most of Diamond when I was a kid with one, two, I'm a sucker for mythology and loved it's world turtle reference, and lastly, turtles are easily in my top 5 favorite animals.
i actually did a only torterra run in pokemon platinum lately and it was pretty ez
Dude I love torterra too! I like him in arceus love they give us an alpha lvl 72 one
When it comes to grass types, I’m particularly fond of Grovyle and Rowlet! No particular opinions on shiny Grovyle, but I absolutely love Rowlet’s shiny, the mint green is so good.
Losing a team member to a Torkoak is pretty fitting considering the theme.
An almost literal Smoke Monster.
Not getting a Nuzleaf seems like a missed oppritunity given the history of Nuzlocke.
I agree, but Nuzleaf isn't available in Sapphire and I though I needed a water type at the time. It might be doable with Ruby though. The 4th gym would just maybe be a slaughter.
@@invividcolor Oh don't worry man I totally get why you went Sapphire.
It was a great video.
Alpha sapphire has loyal not nuzleaf
Tropius is life. Tropius is bae.
I mean it is a flying long neck dinosaur who produces bananas.
I think I made my point.
Thank you.
No questions needed.
You took the words right out of my mouth
An amazing run today, vivid! Really enjoyed it, the Grass Types in Hoenn are not only abundant but really vibrant! Fantastic!
10:51 you can see that his Sawyer is level 22 but the level cap is 21.
If a Pokémon levels up in the gym fight it’s fine
@@invividcolor Oh ok!
I LOVED this run. Grass types look underwhelming on paper, but they have so much utility and so many ways to power up that they can be insanely broken.
I love grass types so much
@@invividcolor Same my dude! Been a fan since my 8yo self picked Bulbasaur in Pokémon Red
Species clause is supposed to help the trainer normally, so you dont *have* to catch 8 pidgey.
Wow, what a throwback to the great show Lost. Nice run rly enjoyed it
Glad you enjoyed it! I love Lost so much I'm probably about to start it back up.
@@invividcolor i got to season 4 and then it just had so much going on that I couldnt watch it anymore. The first and second season were so good though

I'm a huge fan of how you do these shiny only runs. Lot's of other ytbers kinda jsur describe the events that happen cut and dry while you throw in some fun jokes 😂
I feel like all you need for this run is Septile, Breloom, and Obama-snow.
Also Tapu Bulu is like a new CoD game, you love it or you hate it
Favorite grass type was Breloom but I have to say, Hisuian Lilligant is a top challenger. (fighting/grass types are cool)
My favourite Pokémon of all time is Breloom. I have to agree with you about the grass & fighting type combo. I also adore Tsareena
Hisuian Lilligant looks so dope, so I get it. I also love Virizion, so I agree with this sentiment.
tell me crazy, but this was peak pokemon. this remastered editions looked sooooo good, felt soo nice, and still got the old classic pokemon charme.
i really really loved it
Wally is sick because he lived close to Mt. Chimney, that's why he moved to Verdanturf, to get away from the ash and heal. Him being out in the world was part of his healing process.
26:36 you failed the run you used Lombre after it died
I just used it for thief lol. I could have caught something else that knew thief but didn’t feel like wasting the time
actually he already had failed at 10:55 when he used gloom
I've also started a grass monotype challenge in Omega Ruby because I love Treecko and its evolutions, but it's not the best choice of the starters, so I wanted a good reason to use it (btw I'm currently stuck in the flying type gym wish me luck)
L. No rock slides or rock tombs?
Bulbasaur, with it being my favorite pokemon. It’s so useful, especially in OG gen 1. It’s huggable, and my sleep schedule died months ago, (typing this at 11:47) so Sleep Powder would be great. And just look at that smile!
My all time favorite nuzlocker!!! Thanks for the content:)

Dude, I just found your channel yesterday but I absolutely love it.
Thank you! Glad you found it!
Small detail here but hearing Steven-kun out of NOWHERE made me choke on my food because I was laughing so hard
Good, I'm glad at least one person enjoyed that joke 😅
@@invividcolor you made me laugh plenty of times during the video, dude! I really like watching hardcore nuzlockes so this was a lot of fun :)
“Now this hunt took a good chunk of time.”
Meanwhile encounters sitting at a solid 6
Fun fact cacnea was the first shiny I ever hunted and holds a special place in my heart
Always nice to see you uploaded! Can't wait to see the video, being a shiny hunter myself i'm quite excited.
My favourite grass type is a tie between applin and phanthump!
THERE SHOULD BE ONLY ONE H IN PHANTUMP!
@@Amelia4111 Phanthumph
Easy lost series cast. Wasnt that hard bro . Amazing video ❤️
I think he forgot about Charlie dying because he was using him for surf around 26:00 😅
My fave is Bellossome. It's like a dancing, spinning, flower dervish! Roserade is my second, Cacturne is third.
Aww yeah! Lileep and Cradily are tough opponents against fire type pokemon. Excellent choice
Despite the insults to grass types I love the treecko line sooo much so thank you for this
Haha, I insult it out of love. Grass is a top 3 type for me
As soon as he said Sawyer, I knew he was talking about Lost characters!! Love that show
Favorite Grass-type is the Decidueye fam, but I wanna shout out Tropius. Love that fella!
EDIT: HELL YEAH TROPIUS!!!
Also, his nickname both confirmed the Lost nicknaming theme for me and reminded me why Nuzlockes are called Nuzlockes, lol.
Haha, I didn’t even think about that connection! Should have played Ruby and used Nuzleaf. Sadge
I was watching this while doing my own treeko hunt in oras but on console so no speed up or adjusted odds currently on approximately 4131 resets averaging 40 seconds a reset. No shiny poochyena yet either.
Grass is my favorite type thanks to Sceptile, with dragon being second mostly also thanks to Sceptile. Sucks that grass has so many vulnerabilities
Gotta love the “lost” references 😂 lost is one of my favourite series.
same!
Congrats on winning the run and my favorite grass type is Torterra
the amount of time that went into this makes me appreciate it more
I can’t seem to find the comment about what TV series he names the Pokémon after. It’s Lost. One of the most hyped up series of the early 2000. It’s a must watch.
You Have A Porygon?!
That's So Cool! My 2nd Favorite Pokemon Is Porygon!
Porygon and Sableye are my two favs!
Lost will always be one of my faves too vivid
I got a little lost at the beginning what your naming theme was but when you said Hurley, it became clear
You got a little Lost? 😅
Breloom is always my favorite to watch and it make my day when people know how to use him
It's SO good. Seriously, such a top-tier Pokemon
I’m waiting on you to post again so I can get some better strats
My favorite grass type Pokémon (and some of my favorite Pokémon in general) is rowlet/dartrix/Decidueye
How can you increase the shiny odds in Pokemon alpha sapphire? I wanna do that too
Alternate title: simping over a team aqua admin
She a baddie tho
and steven haha. steven kuuun :D

Been doing a nuzlocke of these games recently and all you actually need for Watson is grovyle to learn power up punch after buying the tm from the mart to sweep (just let it hold a cherri berry and your golden)
You didn't actually need the sleep powder part
Baulbsaur was my first ever Pokémon and it’s been my favorite ever since
My favorite grass Pokémon is Victreebel but from Hoenn it’s definitely Breloom and love this video so much man!! 💚😊
Victreebel will always have a place in my heart because it used to eat James every episode
@@invividcolor yes 😂😂
Loved your video can’t wait for the next one.
Can't see Breloom without remembering Onion.
THE LOST THEME MAKES ME UNBEARABLY HAPPY
Juliet - Psych?
Kate - Castle?
You're in the ballpark of network television.
My name is sawyer so when he called the Oddish Sawyer, I knew he was talking about Sawyer from lost since it is such a uncommon name
Love it.
The Lost Theme was Amazing.
My fav grass type is turtwig or lotad or alolan executor
As soon as I saw Kate, I knew it was it was lost and that was confirmed with Charlie and Juliette
What's it from
@@hak1shxn18 sorry I’m late but it’s the tv show Lost
Some of my favorite grass types are Meowscarada, Lilligant, leavanny, roserade, Leafeon, and Virizion
Winona: pelliper-
*T O U C A N*
I found it amusing Charlie died right at the halfway point gym badge wise when he also dies at the end of Season 3/6 in Lost.
Ooooof. It hurts to live through it again
I like that u named ur Pokémon after lost characters
I like that you got the references
I've just started this video but hearing Klonoa 2's OST in the background is definitely gonna make me stick around
Glad to have you
I'm pretty sure all the names come from the TV show Lost! If so, I'm glad people still think about it, it was such a great show
You would be correct! Love Lost
Shiny lotad is pretty cool. I got a string of shinies in ORAS, and it started with a perfect IV, modest nature, shiny lotad.
Wowee. That's a dope find
I tried this legitimately on my heart gold copy and I only made it to the 4th gym before I got slaughtered it took me 5 months I believe just to get there with the one in 8,192 chance
I JUST GOT A SHINY ABRA WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
LETS GOOOOOOO
horde hunting better be in gen 9 or im getting a little unhinged
Great idea, well played, well scripted and well delivered. I'll be looking out for more. Favourite grass type is slugma ;p
Thank you! Also - WUT?
@@invividcolor slugma nuts
Game freak: once all Pokemon are shiny none of them will be.
the lost references!!!!!! (ironic charlie was the first to go LMAO)
26:21 Lombre died so it can be a thief in the shadows
RIP RIP

No shot this man really said his fav grass hoenn Pokémon is tapu bulu, mans from a whole other generation
Haha, I just asked for favorite, not Gen specific
In a mono type run
I completely agree grass is one of the worst.
It's got so many weaknesses.
But in a normal run or even a regular nuzlocke I say it's q good staple type
Especially pokemon who get early growth sleep powder and leech seed.
Personally I love grass types.
Not my favorite that goes to ground or poison
But easily top 5 typing for me personally.
Also great video

... Yep
Another masterpiece 🐐
You're a masterpiece
Rest in piece Juliet. She was the mvp forsure
little fact about sceptile: its a special attacker
Why sceptile is a special attacker?
Yes
I lost it when I figured out the naming theme.
Great vid, as always :) ! Is the nickname theme Lost by any chance ?
IT IS! Also - thank you
I love both victreebel and Appletun since appletun was the only one of my og swsh team members I didn’t plan and when I was doing a race with my cousin as a kid I got a first encounter shiny belsprout

I love that their all named after LOST lol
