    Thanks to everybody for watching this Letterlocke! It was a unique challenge to Nuzlocke with so many un-evolved Pokemon!
    I'm going to keep working through the Alphabet, so Only "E" Pokemon will be next. If you have recommendations for other content you'd like to see, let me know below this comment!

    Espeon(suggested by @Lauranrdraws)

    The nice thing about this type of challenge is having an actual unique team that is hard for the viewer to predict.
    Definitely like it better than “Emerald mono water type” and “Fire Red mono flying type” which are predictable challenges where everyone ends up using the same pokemon.

  • @klatchabobby
    @klatchabobby 2 роки тому

    Nuzlockes for Pokémon Black and White are definitely some of the hardest. The number of one-hit KOs I've had to deal with are insane. Literally have had five Pokémon killed by wild Pokémon at their level with no super effective moves taken down from full health. Like, a level 16 Darumaka one-hit KOed my level 17 Sandile with the move fire fang. How. It wasn't even a crit. It literally just killed it like it was a normal move. I literally haven't had a Pokémon make it out of its route without dying to other Pokémon in the same route for maybe 3/7 encounters, from full health. The RNG of move damage in this game is absolutely fucked. 90% of my deaths have come from random non-super effective Pokémon 1HKO-ing them for absolutely no reason at all. Half the time they're wild Pokémon doing it.

    When you do N you better do it in gen 5. I've no idea how many gen 5 N pokemon there are but I dont care. We need the battle of the N's

    For E you might wanna modify soul silver to start with elekid
    Also for F I recommended X or Y
    G, DPP would work best and H, sword/shield all seen optimal for your format
