I see irony in the fact Whoppers missed so many focus blasts in a scraggy, when in the Gen 5 anime Ash's scraggy was literally infamous for knowing focus blast, but never being able to hit it at all
@@heinzdoofenshmirtz8643 it went on the 120 BP
this is a fun coincidence but this is not irony, it’s basically the opposite
@@TheMurrmursonbottle the target being a Scraggy definitely makes it ironic
I love how this was written like a 5th graders English assignment
Focus... what? 'blast?'
What move is that?!
Your not referring to focus miss, by chance?
Simply releasing all your pokemon and recatching them in a nuzlocke before the first gym is something i fully support. Excellent way to avoid the tutorial assuming you cant use your starter
Especially in sword and shield. The best way of doing it really.
@@dragonlogos1 yeah, the cutscene simulator during the first part of the game is tough, not worth going through it again
You guys do know that you can turn off the cut scenes right?
@@paperclip6290 you WHAT
@@jordanhamel6191 look in the settings, I'm pretty sure it's at the bottom of the page, though only some cute scenes can be stopped
Chandelure has to be the best ghost type I've ever seen. The first time I've seen it in black&white I immediately fell in love
true
@@mykeyboardismelting6856 With a pfp like yours I really didn't expecy it
It has to be one of the best alongside gengar
It’s so aesthetically beautiful…hauntingly beautiful, in fact 😋
And it's got such good special attack - such a beast with shadow ball and flamethrower
Love that you used Runerigus as the thumbnail pokemon, definitely my favorite pokemon that came from gen 8 because of their wandering spirit ability it really enables so many cool and unique strats no other pokemon does.
Hello Weedle, yes, it's ability is so cool
Weedle!
Queen.
**stares in triage buzzwole**
Runerigus is cool, but toxtricity tho.
Forget wild area trees, the spookiest thing about this game is the fact that it turns three years old very soon
I'm sorry what
Excuse Me
It’ll be 3 years old the day after Scarlet and Violet release
:(
No and i dont even have it get
I love how FlygonHG always gives his respect to the Pokemon who fall in Nuzlockes. I know they're just pixels, but (speaking for myself at least) you really do bond with your team during playthroughs. It's nice to see fallen teammates being told to "rest well."
I’ll never forget Thor the Dedenne who fell to Tierno’s Crawdaunt bc Parabolic Charge was just weak enough to barely fail to KO or heal himself out of KO range. I literally drew the death and stuck it to my fridge bc it hit me THAT hard. literally a sliver more recovery or damage would have saved my little dude but I thought I needed the health for the Trevor fight bc I didn’t know he healed you and thought I had 1 more fight to slog through
Cringe
@@SlimeBlueMSget your brain checked out, kid
Phantump is my favorite. Their dex entry says that they’re children who get lost in the woods and become spirits, or something to that effect. I like the idea that by catching them, you’re adopting them. You can’t reunite them with their original family, but you can give them a new one. 😢
How is that so heartwarming oh my gosh
never seen someone turn that depressing dex entry into a positive one before wow
17:25 Highly recommend Blaze Black and Volt White from Drayano, the dude who created Renegade Platinum.
-Some evolutions happen earlier(Like Litwick, Pawniard, Larvesta, Deino, Vullaby and Rufflet.)
-Trade evolutions now happen by level or by simply giving an item to a pokémon.
-Basically every pokémon from Gen 1 through 5 is avaiable and the enemies are much tougher.
I think he started Blaze Black once and then shelved the project after too many failed runs that ended early.
@@DWargs yeah I played that, the gym leaders are borderline unfair with items and moves you have no access to at that point. Definitely fun for a casual play through with a great variety of Pokémon go use but I would say that without perfect luck, you cannot complete a HC Nuzlocle
@@britishotter5881 he completed Renegade Platinum, which is Drayano's hardest hack.
Petition to make deino and zweilous evolve at reasonable levels?
@@britishotter5881 he was playing blaze black 2 redux, which is made by alphexcubed and drayano, the part of the game he was struggling on was gym 2 with Roxie, she had a golbat with nasty plot and a broken move set, and with such little encounters it made it completely rng on what encounters you get instead of actual skill. Luckily in the 1.2.1 patch they have fixed it and replaced it with quilfish i believe so it makes the game a lot better imo. He should definitely revisit it in the near future.
"Although any pokemon can technically be a ghost if you hit it hard enough with your car..."🤣😆
Lines like this are why I keep watching. Keep up the great work Flygon.
This fucking killed me lmao. Unexpected
I wanna see him try to do that on a rock or steel type. He'll be the ghost then.
Technically, given Yamask, any human can also be a ghost Pokémon if they are hit by a car.
@@flameshock1013 I mean, if you can get it going fast enough, it would technically end up being both?
Aggron be like, "Muahaha, what is your puny car going to do to me, human?"
Then the car accelerates to 10c, destroys Aggron, the driver, the car, and half the continent in one go.
"Sending Eevee to War. Bye bye, Eevee!"
. . . and that's how you get the ghost type Eeveelution.
You saw why Litwick line is my favorite ghost type. FEAR THE CANDLE!
“Any Pokémon can be a ghost if you hit it hard enough with your car”
That line KILLED me lmfao
Like how the car killed that Pokémon
now you're a ghost type
The moment I saw you encountered Stufful, I knew something was going to go horribly wrong. The Bewear line has a surprising amount of coverage!
I wouldn't call it surprising at all. Both normal & fighting types have quite a lot of coverage moves, so a normal/fighting type I'd just naturally going to have coverage. Normal types get a lot of shit, but they can actually be pretty scary. Some of the biggest run-enders are normal gym leaders. Whitney, Norman, Lenora, Cheren, etc.
@@Fanimati0nThey get a lot of shit because people forget that competitive is basically an entirely different game.
The fact that Flygon is so clearly trying to secretly tell us he’s a Swiftie is so funny to me. That I’m the problem it’s me came out of nowhere lol. My favorite type is ghost and my favorite ghost type is Chandelure for what I hope are obvious reasons. It’s a chandelier that came straight out of a scary movie. I love so many of them though and they’re all amazing. Froslass, Shedinja, and Golurk to name a few. Thank you for these yearly ghost type runs they’re so full of personality and holiday spirit and I love it!
As spooky season is almost over, I'd like to share a handful of my favourite ghost Pokemon. Dragapult. Something about the shape of his head, the fact that he's a caring single-father of two, and that he's the same type as my favourite legendary. Mimikyu. This thing is so pathetic and adorable, I have never met a single person who hates Mimikyu, though I am disappointed GameFreak nerfed its ability. Cofagrigus. I used one in a nuzlocke of Black, and it was one of my longest standing team members. He stalled out Ghetsis' team and won. I transferred him to my SwSh games, so he lives on.
Mimikyu is a legendary?
@@FreddieQuell I think he’s saying dragapult is the same type as his favourite legendary
@@alexfazzdog4129 I'm not a he, but yes, that is what I meant
All of these Pokemon are favourites of mine!!! Dragapult is my sixth favourite Pokemon ever ;u;
idk if I would call Dragapult a "caring single-father of two" considering he yeets his children at his opponents to attack
I recently picked up my unfinished Shield playthrough and was surprised how much fun I had playing through the last two gyms and the endgame. They really make winning the championship feel good, and the music in these games is incredible. Such a wide variety of mons, too, despite dexit! I've come around on the games a bit. Great video, too - I love how you put these together!
I just wish it wasn't so damned oppressively easy. Is it really that hard for Gamefreak to add a hard mode?
@@ASNS117Zero Depends how much work goes into coding the trainers and movesets, which can't be a trivial amount IMO, because you'd basically have to revisit every single battle/gym twice to tune them
Much easier to make it challenging the first time, because Pokémon isn't really THAT hard, even for kids really. I would also honestly prefer they fix trade evos first before trying to make a hard mode or something (which I would definitely be interested in)
As a new Bostonian, I appreciated the Tea Party reference quite a lot, lol. Watching this playthrough also made me realize how much I actually like ghost types now. Probably one of my favorite typings from a Pokemon selection.
Ok the hidden ghost with grooky really scared me, good job.
Love the Taylor swift references and what a great nuzlocke to start my Saturday 💙💙💙
Loved the moment where he went to catch that Pocket Monster on the hill
I just love how you make content for seasons and events. Such a talented content creator
Lots of fans complained about the national dex cut, but I enjoyed playing a game with a regional dex of 400 pokemon, all available through normal gameplay. The encounter variety in Gen VIII was great, and I'm hoping for the same in Scarlet & Violet.
There's no reason the National Dex needed to be cut to allow for a large Regional Dex. Gen 6 and 7 have huge Regional Decks as well as the National.
That's fair, but it's annoying that we cant even bring all of the pokemon from the 3DS over to the Switch without paying every month to keep them in Home. As well as it hurts the people who's favorite pokemon were cut from the game.
And the reason for cutting National dex, better graphics and animations, was a lie.
Still a good game, but National dex didnt need to be cut. You can still fit all of the rest of the pokemon if Gamefreak paid for larger cartridges for their game, and that's at the max where all of the GB of Sword & Shield + DLC were from Pokemon alone (when it obviously isnt).
@@Victini0510 I'm sorry but that's a stupid as fuck argument. If you want the games to actually improve in visual quality you can't keep increasing the amount of pokemon from game to game and keep them all in there. It takes way too much time and money, for a feature most fans don't actually care about. I get why some people are saddened by it, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a good decision. It was going to have to be done eventually, and it's better to rip that bandage off early.
I don’t mind the lack of national dex, but I am still upset that they lied to our faces about why they did it.
Hop eternally seething that he can’t beat you was some real whiplash after how chill Hau was in Sun/Moon
I gasped so loudly when your Drifloon died so early. It is my third favourite Pokemon so I was gutted. 😭 Glad you restarted the run!
I'm writing this comment while i listen to the intro. Honestly, I am so excited for this video because I am stoked to see what kind of twist/theme you are bringing to your storytelling this time around. I can't say I know the amount of work that goes into making these videos at the quality you do Flygon, but just know that it is GREATLY appreciated. This is basically my digital crack
@@FlygonHG You are more than welcome. You put in the work, you more than deserve all the recognition!
Hisuian Zoroark is probably now my favorite ghost type, Ghost/Normal is just too cool. Though I really really like Dhelmise (triple STAB!) as well.
Answer of the day: Aegislash. What an incredible design. Plus, i love steel type.
Dhelmise is by far my favorite ghost type, such a cool design and a really strong pokemon
just a side note, tecnically, doing a ghost monotype on nearly every game can make the fight with the ''evil organization'' members dificult because they all specially in dark types with poison types as a bonus + gen1 hads them use poison types before dark was a thing. some of them do give some small variety to them or at least to their boss, but pretty much you will always face dark types against nearly all evil team fights in the pokemon games
My favorite ghost-type is Dhelmise, but I'm personally quite a fan of all of the ghost/grass Pokémon.
To answer the question near the start of the video, Gourgeist is my favorite ghost. Very excited to see it in action in this run.
Raid battles are so worth doing early on, especially in the isle of armor since, (on top of the reward TRs, exp candies and sellable treasures), you get armorite ore which you can use to have digging pa dig up large amounts of watts (and sometimes he'll get a frenzy and dig up even more!) Lots of watts = plenty of currency for TRs and wishing pieces.
Also ghost types are guaranteed to flee from all battles no matter the level/speed difference, so item hunting in the crown tundra is free.
Only in Gen VI onward though, prior to that they still have a chance to get stuck in battle.
@@FlygonHG Yup! I believe they implemented that feature starting in gen 6? So, a level 1 ghost type is always guaranteed to flee from a level 100 mon, even with Shadow Tag, Arena Trap, Block, etc. It's such a cool alternative to having a pokemon with Run Away
Oh no way? I didn't know that about ghost types! That's amazing, thank you:)
nah bro you know he said grab a loved one just to make us all feel like more lonely
I‘m always smiling hearing him say Nenaytails and Arcanenay
Out of all the ghost types, I like Mimikyu (because he is best boi who deserves all the love), the Honedge line (literal cursed swords, what's not to love?) and Trevenant (I've always been a fan of the Haunted Forest trope).
Happy Halloween, Dr HG! Ghost is one of my favourite types, so happy to see them get some love!
My fave Ghost is probably either Phantump (their cry just sounds like they're trying so hard to be spooky), Pumpkaboo (friend-shaped), or Jellicent (the Pringles man)
"Although any pokemon can technically be a ghost if you hit it hard enough with your car" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love you Flygon I’ve been here since 25k and I’m so proud of you❤️
I loved this! Great storytelling per usual and this run was fun to watch. Good job FlygonHG
You could also have used “c’mon, c’mon don’t leave me this, now i’m HAUNTED”
When some pokemon died but i loved the anti-hero reference
Yesss! A ghost type monolocke! Ghost is my favourite type, with Chandelure being my favourite Pokémon ever. I even named my channel after a Chandelure I owned in Black 2.
My favorite ghost type is Spectrier, I don't know specifically why but Game Freak always seems to make really good horse based designs and that one is no exception. Prior to that though my favorite was Shuppet for the longest time, it's just such a nice clean design.
You can also get a rowlet if you chose thr grass starter , once you get 100 digletts. Which would eventually evolve into the wonderful Decidueye of course :D
Trevenant is my favorite for sure. Something about a dead tree brought back to life by a vengeful spirit is so cool. Also phantump is so adorable.
"Knowledge is the best skill you can have as a Nuzlocker" - truer words were never spoken, lol. Playing my 1st romhack rn (Fire Red Omega) and got boomed on the Champion's last mon because I didn't realize just how busted Jynx is with the buffs in that game. Pain.
Favorite ghost type is either Chandelure or Sableye, depending on how I’m feeling that day/game I’m playing. If Mega Sableye is available he’s easily my favorite…if Megas aren’t available, Chandelure takes the top spot
This run is gonna be scary good
“It’s me hi I’m the problem it’s me” I SEE YOU!!!!!
honestly one of the coolest yt videos pokemons made
My favorite ghost type is definitely Chandelure. Mainly because fire is my favorite type but Chandelure has a really cool cry an amazing special attack stat. I just wish it and Lampent's shinies had blue fire like Litwick
I agree Chandelure is just cool.
Great content as always, SwiftieHG
Love your Halloween videos! The creativity you inject into every run, be it the theme, script, or both, is extremely fun to watch. I hope it's rewarding for you as well. Ghost is my favorite type and Mimikyu is my favorite Ghost Pokemon and Pokemon in general. Yes, marketing worked on me.
polteageist became one of my all time favs after i unintentionally swept leon’s entire team with a single shell smash
Chandelure is my favorite ghost type. I really hope that Flygon is joking when he says that the design is bad.
A really cursed idea i have is "no 100% accurate moves" run (also no abilities/items to compensate)
OK, that is very cursed. I wanna see that.
Question of the day? Gengar has always been pretty slick although I think my favorite is actually Misdreavus.
After Gen 8, I LOVE the Creepy Dreepy line. Dragapult is a MONSTER and I love him!
You know it's a good day when Flygon uploads
Please do an emerald hardcore nuzlocke without using dual typing pokemon!
Ghost types are my favorite pokemon, and misdreavus is my favorite ghost. First time I saw one was very adorable.
Okay I’m not even 2 mins in and you mentioned the trees EVERYONE bashed on like the 1st screenshot we ever got, this is the kind of content I love you for Flygon, this and your knowledge of my Swifty Queen (even tho she made 4 ‘collectible’ albums to get all 20 songs but we don’t talk about that). Just thank you for being this awesome!
My favorite ghost type...is in the Thumbnail!
You can actually get the Dawn stone as soon as you have access to the Wild Area, it's just a bit of a walk. Since all your pokemon are ghosts they would always be able to run away from any wild pokemon that attack you.
I started flailing when I saw this was uploaded because ghost types are my favorite, Sword was my real gateway into Pokemon, and Galar ghost run means Runerigus which is one of my all time favorite Pokemon. It was awesome. Thank you!
I've always loved shedindja. Such an interesting concept for a pokemon, I love the design and the basis being a living cicada shell. Plus the focus on wonder guard.
Nice Boston Tea Party reference with Jujubes. Always cool to get those hometown references :)
Favorite Ghost type is hard. I don't normally use ghost type pokemon but if I needed to pick a favorite I would pick Shedinja. Shedinja is just cool to me and I really like it. I also have a special place in my heart for Runerigus since I used one in a Shield Nuzlocke that made it all the way to the end. She was a great asset to my team and I'm glad that she was able to make it all the way to the battle against the champion. She means the world to me along with the other pokemon on that team. I love Pumpkaboo too. Adorable little pumpkin pokemon that comes in four different sizes, sign me up. Looking for the size of Pumpkaboo is like hunting for a pumpkin in a pumpkin patch. I love it.
A fun way to end off the month! And wow Whopper was amazing: ) Thanks for the vid Flygon
Considering I have been rewarding your videos for the last few days this has been perfectly time.
Oh and drifloon and Drifblim are my favorite ghost types since their is no shying away from the fact that it is a malevolent creature. I like when pokemon gets dark about it.
My favorite ghost types are Chandelure and Hisui Zorua, love them 💗This is such a spooky and fun video, Flygon!
a friend of mine on twitter actually did a ghost type monolocke in shield, he said it was pretty fun, so i might actually try this one for myself too.
for the question of the day, it’s definitely giratina after i found a shiny one in platinum in under 700 resets. definitely the coolest pokémon i own
I’m pumped for this video, ghost is my favorite type and I’ve tried this challenge before and it’s super hard with team yell using dark types. Looking forward to how you get around them
I love all the boston references like the duck boats
Mimikyu has been my favourite ever since using it in Ultra Moon. It was amazing and the shiny is great too. It has definitly earned the position of my 2nd favourite pokemon of all time.
Banette has been my favourite ghost pokemon since I saw it in gen 3 the fact that his mouth is a zipper just screams ominous, however no one can deny that Greavard is hella cute . Cannot wait to see what it's evolution could possibly be.
Loved this run, but can we talk about the subtle addition of the Anti-Hero lyric? I mean, I even saw your tweet and everything but I didn't expected for you to actually do it haha. Definitely my fav Pokemon content creator
Misdreavus is my favorite Ghost! It's so cute and I love the whole idea behind it and always make it a point to try to get one every time!
Chandelure and Aegislash are my ALL TIME favourite pokes!! Seeing them shine together in this run has me STIMMING SO MUCH OML THANK YOU!!! ✨✨✨
"Anything can be a ghost if you hit it hard enough with your car."
Wise words.
Excellent video as always flygon! Though I am a bit disappointed we didn't get to see Dhelmise this time around, I hope we'll get to see one of my all-time favs in a future run!
I really love Sword and Shield nuzlockes, they indeed give you a lot of tools like you said and so many encounters that you can get early, definitely the best games for monotype nuzlockes if you're looking for variety in encounters
Having never played sword or shield I gotta say I freaking love Mr Rhyme. His little tap dance omfg brilliant
I didn’t think I could love this man anymore than I already do and then he goes and references t-swizzle 😢❤ it’s me hi, the person in love with flygon hg, it’s me. 😂
Finally time for my favorite type! I'm planning on doing my own ghost type run shortly after Violet comes out because it seems like it's going to have a fanfreakingtastic selection of Ghost types
I love that you identify how repetitive setup sweeps can be, especially with them being an easy out to dynamax. Looking forward to the mono type finale!
Litwick always and forever will be my favorite ghost Pokémon..... and in this Nuzlocke alone it made its case to the world about its pure and unequivocal superiority. Fear the adorable candle.
🔝👆👆congratulations fan ✨ you've been selected among my shortlisted winner
Golurk, it can fly and it is as glorious as it is baffling.
I was looking forward to some Halloween/Spooky content to enjoy. Top it off it being a ghost type pokemon Nuzlocke. Thank you FlygonHG for the great content.
What a good run! I love how ghost-types consistently get amazing designs
My favorite Ghost-Type happens to be my favorite pokemon: Aegislash. I fell in love with this Spooky Sword (and shield) when I saw it in X and Y with Steel becoming my favorite type
if you asked me before about a month ago, id say mimikyu was my favorite ghost type, but ever since ceruledge was revealed theyve taken over as my absolute favorite pokemon. theyre so sick and scratch an edgy, nostalgic itch in my brain its lovely
I am consistently blown away by how this channel continues to surprise and delight me. Thank you FlygonHG 💜💜💜:D
All my favourite ghost types in the final against Leon, awesome.....rip candy corn you were a real mvp
Probably Doublade. Aegislash was my favorite Gen 6 Pokémon and in my first play through of Gen 8, eviolite Doublade became the star of my team as soon as I got it. Turns out an insanely tanky Pokémon with swords dance and shadow sneak is pretty good.
FlygonHG: And for the greater good of the run, we’re gonna violate the cardinal rule of Pokémon.
Me, nodding: don’t fuckie with shuckie.
Favorite Ghost type? Oof, that's tough. They're all so cool! But if I HAD to pick, I choose Mimikyu. It's just so cute and lovable! The concept is great, a Pokemon that imitates another Pokemon so it can be loved...it's adorable and I will protect all Mimikyus with my life
I unapologetically love Pokémon Sword ❤
Me too! It was actually the first game I successfully Nuzlocked!
i love pumpkaboo a lot, it and phantump are not only my favorite ghost types but probably just some of my favorite pokémon, period!
Ghost mono-run in Shield was actually one of the first mono-type runs I attempted after getting into your videos. The bevvy of dark types in the region like you said completely walled me though and by the time I got near Allister I figured I had no real way of clearing that fight safely, and I just kinda forgot to get back to it after. It's interesting seeing someone a bit more professional than me at these kinds of runs attempt the same challenge
As an oldie regarding Pokemon, my go to coolest Ghost type was and will always be Gengar.
The first flygon video I ever watched was the hallowe’en nuzlocke last year. It’s been a good year!
THERE IS NO APOSTROPHE IN HALLOWEEN! REMOVE IT NOW!
I’m just surprisingly happy with the TSwift reference at the end of Attempt #3.
I liked seeing Gen 8 again! And with seasonally appropriate Ghosts! I'd love to see a Grass Monolocke for this game. Although I'm not sure you'll continue Monolockes after you've completed them all. I'm excited to see where the channel goes from there!
