Pokemon Black 2 can be a tough game... but can we beat a Hardcore Nuzlocke of it with a type that's NEVER been done before and which has a ridiculous amount of weaknesses? Black 2 and White 2 are arguably my favorite Pokemon games ever, so let's give it a shot!
We've done some hard Pokemon challenges in the past, but usually they were a solo Pokemon challenge run. 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 2 Hardcore Nuzlocke with only Ice 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 trading/importing Pokémon, Items, etc.

Hey Silph Squad, hope you enjoy this Holiday Special! Just wanted to give a massive thank you to all of you for watching the vids, leaving likes, comments, etc. The support this year has been unfathomable, and you guys have truly helped my dreams come true. Just a heads up that I will be taking an extended holiday break to see my parents (haven't seen them since July!), and I will be returning mid-January with new uploads. It's been quite a crazy grind this year, but you have all made it incredibly worth it and I hope our 26 hardcore nuzlockes will keep you busy until then. I'll be around on Twitter if you want to keep up in the meantime (twitter.com/SilphSpectre ). Happy holidays and happy New Year!
Can you do a nuzlocke in the gen 7 games, you’re really good with nuzlockes and I wanna see you take on the hardest Pokémon games such as Usum
I hope, once you come back, that you want to be the next Star of PokeStarStudios
Jokes on you i already downloaded it.
Last week I suggested a Ice type unova run, and you really did it! I love you man! Happy holidays to you and your family!
I can’t get the loot from da sponsor :(
I love how the reason for why there's never been an Ice type nuzlock isn't because of how hard it probably would be, but because it's just impossible to get an ice type super early. Considering Platinum only Fire type run I think it's safe to say difficulty is really not a factor for these guys and I love it
it's one reason i really like features like online random trading. i like amassing basically all the pokemon then when i want to start a game i can trade over ones i want to use the whole game and go from there. randomise the 5 selected and take 1 before gym 1, 2 before the next and last 2 for 3 third so i can enjoy the team i want for most of the game. i still to this day remember as a kid on Gen 2 trading to myself a Lavitar egg and starting with it, think i took it instead of Togepi's egg as a bit of flavour and levelling during the journey. arriving at the elite four with my own tyranitar i had gone through the whole game with was like having another starter with my Feraligatr, lotta fun ^^.
You should watch flygonhgs fire type nuzlocke in pearl. Only 2 encounters for the whole game
@@treyw-k6473 I did, that's what I was referencing
@@treyw-k6473 Yeah. You can only get Infernape and Rapidash for encounters. If it was Platinum, you would also be able to use Houndoom, Flareon, and Magmar or Magmortar (depending on if you can trade or not). But as it's DP, it's only Infernape and Rapidash (unless you want to cheat a bit and go full Flint).
Meanwhile in pokemon sword i have 6 ice types before 1st badge.
Is anyone else having their mind blown by the editing transition Silph uses at 31:40 to make his evolved Weavile move to the next edit in the same place on the screen as Zinzolin’s Weavile? 🤯
I had to re-watch this scene like 3 times and I was freaking out as well!
I did a double take because I thought he killed his own Weavile somehow. Like "congrats on evolving. Now f*** you". XD
This was such a good edit
Was going to make a comment just for that! I had to rewatch it as well. So cool!
"That's super effective against me!"
Ah. A true ice type trainer.
I mean, there are only four; Fire, Fighting, Rock, and Steel. Meanwhile, Grass and Rock; *cries in even more weaknesses*
I always thought ice should resist ground and flying
@@hoothoot7122 Not nearly as strange as bug RESISTING fighting, and taking neutral damage from poison, the two biggest ways to deal with bugs...
@@TheSphero you right.
@@TheSphero the problem with ice though is that it has only one resistance: ice 🤦♂️. This makes pivoting tough as many ice types have 4x weaknesses or are too frail to live multiple hits.
Using an ice monotype really teaches you how to play hyper offense because you basically have zero defensive capabilities, and that's what makes it enjoyable to use imo
That weaville evolution edit straight into battle was cleannnnn
Hell yeah it was the best part of the video
@Davi Mendes Coimbra 31:39
I remember seeing castelia city for the first time and being so impressed with how they implemented it. The way they messed around with perspective made the whole game feel larger than it was. Gen 5 is honestly one of my personal faves
F*** Castelia. Kid me was too stupid to realise the Gym's entrance faced West instead of South and I spend hours just looking for the dang place.
Is everyone going to ignore the cleanest transition ever at 31:37 with the Weavile?
Literally the entire team during Clay's battle: "You should have gone for the head..."
The reason Emolga went before you even though you used a priority move is because when both Pokémon use priority moves the Pokémon who’s faster gets to use their priority move first
I took it that he knew that and was more surprised by the fact that Emolga used it at all, as npcs typically only use quick attack if all of their other attacks are resisted, or they see the faint with it.
@@FormerRuling fair enough then
Weavile for the win!
This is probably the third winter/holiday themed nuzlocke this week I've watched.
Dragon City was a nostalgia kick too.
I know it’s a bit of a forgotten or overlooked Pokemon as you mentioned, but maybe it’s my Gen 1 nostalgia, and also remembering some episodes from the first season of Pokemon, and also Lorelei’s team, but I’ve always loved Seel and Dewgong and I am always sad to never see them in playthroughs haha
I know it looks super basic but I’ve always loved its simple, sleek design haha
And I always thought it looked cool in a full water type team :)
Anyway, super fun run.
You got me so fricking scared against the ground type gym lol
I was so emotionally involved lmao
Walrein rules. Walrein is bae.
❤️
For me I always remember Seel because of it being the keeper of the Cascade Badge. No other reason really, but that weirdness stuck with me.
Future run suggestion: SoulSilver mono-fairy type run. The fairy type doesn’t exist in that game but there are 8 Pokémon lines that will become fairy in later gens (togepi, jigglypuff, snubull, maril, clefairy, mr. mime, ralts, and mawile). It would be a fun monotype run that’s not actually a monotype run
Man you surprised me! Gen 5 is my favourite gen of all time! Thaks for doing this challange in this gen. Have a nice one, Silph and have nice one, all the viewers!
Been binge watching all of your nuzlockes. Just finished watching the sapphire poison type only so this came out right on time. Thanks Silph 👍
As a Canadian, I can confirm that it's very cold during the winter, though unlike Silph, I love cold weather! My mom and I have been going on walks every night for the past 2 weeks ^^
I would love to see a psychic type run of Pokémon black, there’s no run of it on UA-cam and it honestly might be impossible
The clay fight was literally your Pokémon running on pure anger.
"Losing a Dragon is never fun, so-"
So if we can't have Dragons, no one can! Ice types, attack!!!
I'm actually doing the same challenge but I instead started off with a smoochum and rotom that I caught using the Dream Rader. Once I reach the shopping mall rotom can permanently change to an ice type
How do you get these features to work?
@@Bellylover234 the dream radar is a game available on the 3ds eshop. Pokemon caught in it can be sent to black 2 and white 2
AT LAST AN ICE CHALLENGE, MY FAVORITE TYPE!!! Thank you silph!!
The next time you would be able to do this is the Ultra games and the Galar games.
Funny how when Ice types are available early, the game is more focused on gameplay.
The Ice-type requires unique strategy and a lot of attack power. It's go big or go home! Very fun run~
The Pokemon Black/White 2 opening music in the intro flung me into nostalgia. I love these games so much, I remember staying up way too late as a kid playing it.
I have to compliment your taste on enjoying Walrein! That whole line is perfect!
this is one of the best videos you've made. i was surprised how difficult the BUG and FLYING gyms were for an all ice-team
Yeah Grass/Ice and Dark/Ice aren't good matchups against Burgh, and....
*Sky Armor*
THERE IS NO HYPHEN IN ICE TEAM!
I love how you named the Sneasel Axl like a certain other Hardcore monotype nuzlocker X3
Man, imagine this run in challenge mode. Grinch would've really been put to the test with Karen's Pidove and Roxie's smarter AI. Ice type buff when?
Ah yes, my favorite normal type gym leader, karen
@@DeletedUser-ke3vm (*Cheren) Sorry, I had to correct it for you. You're probably mistaken
@@rockmanzeromodernday941 ,,
Look at the main comment, he did the same mistake.
@@rockmanzeromodernday941 he was joking about OP's comment
@@rockmanzeromodernday941 Read your original comment, but slower
Thanks for a wicked year of videos Silph you made my year amazing.
Oh my god, finally someone realizes my pain of searching for a lapras in Village Bridge. I saw it was catchable, and had to catch it, and it took me about three hours.
Thank you Silph and the notification bell! Perfect typing for the Holidays ☺️ I do enjoy ice types. I loved seeing Weavile in the thumbnail
Shoutout to whoever edited that slick Weavile transition
I’d be intersted in challenges where you only use Pokémon that characters in the anime used. For example Briliant Diamond with only evolution lines Paul used would give you these Pokémon
1. Torterra
2. Staraptor
3. Gastradon
4. Honchcrow
5. Azumarill
6. Drapion
7. Weavile
8. Gligar
9. Froslass
10. Electivire
11. Ursaring
Doesn’t Paul also have a Magmortar?
@@sebastiaanvanheede6396 Magmortar is exclusive to Shining Pearl. I picked Brilliant Diamond as that has Honchcrow and Electivire: overall more Pokémon
@@skibot9974 oké sorry for the inconvenience
Enter the Unown does a series like that, using Ash's team from every series
I saw a video where someone did that and it was too OP since Paul only uses powerful pokemon
Another Option for the ice type run would’ve been getting Smoochum from Pokémon Dream Radar
Hey Silph have you heard of the romhack Pokemon Crystal Clear? It's a redo of Crystal that makes it "open-world", you can start in Kanto or Johto and do the gyms in any order you like. The levels scale as you go through the game. Plus there's a huge variety of starter Pokemon instead of only 3. I think it would be perfect for a hardcore nuzlocke, a really interesting challenge.
I've been binging your content for about a week now and finally hit the subscribe button. I was on the edge of my seat for a lot of this, especially the final battle. Weavile is my favourite ice type so seeing it close to death that many times had my heart hammering. But I love your humour and B2/W2 are one of the best games ever (my personal favourites behind HeartGold) and I'm really glad I'm here to see an upload on time :D
This ended up being an amazing video like always!!!
I also tried this run and it was very different from yours: i used the pokemon dream radar instead since at the time i didnt know how dream world worked. so my starter was a smoochum.
What was also different was i allowing glaceon since it was prob impossible beating burgh since it was weak to bug and i had level caps
J Rose, MDB, and SilphSpectre all new in one weekend? And what a weekend it is!
Geez, this was so damn close! But you did it. 21/5, only Weavile left, and right before the holidays, too! Amazing stuff! A goddamn miracle right here! Possibly an early Christmas miracle? *shrugs*
Anyway, I saw your pinned comment, so I know what you're up to after this. I hope you have a happy holidays with your folk! I'll see you next month! :)
A great run! Also love seeing you travel through Unova again. Gen 5 is such a treat to look at every time
I was just thinking last night how I'd love to see an ice type run, im excited to watch this 😀
Did this challenge on Challenge Mode a couple months ago and Weavile was the only reason I beat the Elite 4
Christmas has come early it seems! Feels pretty weird tho having the Ice type being this rare in any game
Finding out you’re Canadian explains why I enjoy your videos the most out of all nuzlockers
i've been looking for an Ice run for SOOO long. Great to see you made it possible
Interesting to finally see you use ice types! Also Lapras is one of my favorites, so glad it was a valued part of this run :)
41:25
“I forgot to swap taunt with hone claws.”
The council has given you one, singular “Yike”
Notification gang! Silph day is BACK I cant wait for this, I love Gen 5💙
In my own experience the easiest way to beat Nuzlocke themed games, is just plainly overleveling your pokemon at certain point like you can just one shot any opponent in your path.
I still would love to see a Hoenn mono Flying nuzlocke.
Miss you Silph hope you're doing alright since we havent seen an upload in a while!
That Flareon really broke my entire heart hitting off Lava Plume
Hey Silph! Love the content, your humor makes things fun. I’ve been watching you since the start of the TruePower Series. Speaking of which, do you have plans to continue that? I’m just curious since it’s my favorite.
I will never be able to forget Seel/Dewgong simply because when I think of the Mewtwo strikes back movie and all the Pokémon are crying over ash, they ruin the whole moment with Dewgong in the background going “GOOOONNNGGG”
Perfect to chill out this holiday season!
Love your content Silph...I patiently keep track of the time just to see your content pop up
Watched this video to fall asleep, and I got to say you know how to keep suspense in a Pokémon video. Really good video.
My dusty ds lite, trove of old Pokémon games, and whoever this guy is have single handedly pulled me out of a deep depression.
Hope you feel good bro
@@stellarknight04
Silph, your content has been awesome and has inspired me to do my own nuzlockes! Thank you a ton for making such positive and entertaining content:)
Have you considered doing a randomized nuzlocke? I would probably watch that one on repeat xD
Hi, I’ve been loving your Hardcore Nuzlockes as of late. I’ve been binge watching them before I go to sleep and they’ve been super entertaining!
Quick question: have you ever implementing a level cap for other important battles like rival battles or evil team admins (i.e. Maxie, Archie, Ghetsis, Lusamine, etc.)?
Honestly makes the game harder ,wiped to colress once because of that
The luck of this run is insane
Clay’s gym battle was amazing
I really just sit down and watch these 40 minute videos lol, good shit man
19:00 he lived solely because of the decision to add leftovers, good play
I loved the transition between when sneasel evolved in zinzolin
That transition was lit 31:40
"Losing a dragon is never fun, especially not one as cool as Kyurem. But that's why we've got today's sponsor to help us out: Dragon City."
You had me in the first half not gonna lie. If you know, you know.
Silph Sunday >>> Milf Monday
In love with just listening to your nuzlockes while I fall asleep.
These monotype nuzlockes are so much fun
That transition when sneasel evolved tho!!
Seriously! The only games i’ve been able to play with only Ice types are Violet and Shield. Shield was really easy to get my Ice types but for Violet i had to make an Entire Pilgrimage to Norway just to catch some Ice types, i had to breed just for some low enough level Ice types. I hate how rare Ice types are, I just wanna be a chilly boy! Good video, btw. I enjoyed it. Especially because i’m obsessed with Ice.
Great video. Video had me shook sant believe you beat it !
I love your unova challenges. ❤️
I like how Ghetsis has a max power Frustration on his Hydriegon
22:08 "Hard to believe a Flying trainer did that much damage to an Ice Team"
It's pretty easy to believe imo considering that Ice only resists itself. Easily the worst Type in the game Defensively.
That fight with Clay was the epitome of clutch 😂
3:32 That one caught me off guard lmao
I'd like to say I love your skits in your videos. They are amazing.
The virizion bit killed me thats actually gold LMAO
25:10 I remember trying to find lapras for my first b2 play through. Took me more than 4 hours. The first two used perish song so i couldn’t catch it. Decided to use my masterball the 3rd time who was just about to die to perish song. Didnt even stay in my team that long
oh wow i didn't think ice would be possible-
This is gonna b interesting cant wait to see how you finesse ths
Great video! I love ice types and Black 2
I love how if you're lucky, you can see a wailord in the aquarium and if you do, you get a medal for it.
Something to keep in mind. With the mold breaker on Haxorus, the shell armor in the dragon gym would have been ignored. Meaning crits could still happen.
31:35 Nice transition! Very Clean!
Finally getting a day 1 video. I keep watching runs for 3-8 months ago 😂😂
The Ice Type is my favorite type, so this brings me great joy to watch
I've been waiting for this for a long time
Babe wake up, SilphSpectre dropped a new Nuzlocke
Awesome run. I love Snover and Snorunt they're very cute and having them as starter/so early is very cool
Black 2/White 2 are also very cool for a Bug Type run. Though you can only get 1 out of 2 Bug Pokemon until after the third gym there are some very cool Pokemon to train.
Sick translition from the Snibunna Evolution !
Silph! Your video are like the easiest 40 minute UA-cam videos to binge haha!
Yeah, winter is lovely. Just so long as you don’t have to spend any time in it…I can absolutely agree with that perspective.
Another great video, you definitley earned a sub
Am I the only one who thinks this dude's voice is the perfect narrator voice.
Awesome a new monotype run in my favorite gen with one of my fav types, on my bday!
Yooo Happy Birthday brother, hope you enjoy! 🎂
"I have a very good strategy for the first gym..."
*just spams icy wind* :D
the ads for dragon city are always 1000000000x better than the actual game xd
