Or maybe a fighting type run again would be interesting, the last one of those was a year ago. And in terms of interesting games to do it on would be X, Y or one of the newer games like sword, shield, scarlet or violet If no better plans though
Love your vids as always. Can i suggest one nuzloke run here? It would be amazing if you can do a only bug crystal nuzloke run alm the way until red. And as a 2nd part of the run (maybe you could do a new series of this as a post game series) try to do a complete run at the battle tower after beating red with softlock rules (if your team loses you cannot use same 3 pokemon together anymore so you have at least to change 1 in order to try again). So if you beat red you pokemon should do the lvl of the closest lvl posible (probably lvl 70) That would be amazing cos the battle tower cheats (3 horn drill in a row is one of my darkest memories back them when i was a kid playing battle tower with a supper slow pc so i watched that hp bar dissappear in lile 15secs) Best regards!!
Just something I wanted to point out: in the cliff cave you can actually repel manipulate encounters to get a Steelix, you just make sure a Pokémon at level 23 is at the front of your party which I can understand if you couldn’t do it
Ground type is high among my favorite, and heart gold and soul silver speak for themselves as the most incredible games in the franchise. I'm so excited to see this one!
@@mjja4783I agree though. Pokemon following. Beautiful scenery. 2 regions. Many legendaries to catch. Challenging postgame because you can re battle the gymleaders and battle red. But for me its mostly the scenery
Just want to give a shout out to the grinding you do for these vids. Whether it be the game corner, EV training or just getting your pokemon leveled to Red's pokemon, the work you put in is next level. As always, cheers for the content.
WOW dude. Giving props to Giddy, Entity and the Nidos at the end, but straight up NOT acknowledging Ric *completely invalidating* your team's biggest weakness? #JusticeforRic
The Golem line is one of the best early game pokemon you can obtain. Strong against Falkner, Bugsy and Jasmine, also a female geodude with rock smash and defense curl is good against whitney. In Kanto is good agaisnt Brock, Surge and Blaine
Could've easily saved that dugtrio against red if you had switched your quagsire in on his laprass and then could've yawned it beat it then continued the yawnin until victory
I needed a new Silph Spectre episode today. I started watching like a month ago and I've watched every one twice at this point, Monotype nuzlocke content is my comfort thing at the moment I guess? And you have some of the best out there, keep it up
The way you approached the Red battle was weirdly clumsy. Pikachu was set-up fodder for Donphan. His moveset could've been modified to solo sweep Red pretty easily. Could've set up sandstorm with Quagsire, swapped to Donphan with a moveset of substitute, rock polish, earthquake, and a coverage move for Charizard.
27:53 most competitive players have never had a Sub last as long as the one created here, and the only reason it broke is because you were forced to switch
Gliscor is my favorite ground type Pokémon ❤️ wish I had more opportunities to use it through a play through though :( Also it’s shiny is amazing! ♥️♥️♥️
@@onslaught6677 I meant in the scope of a casual playthrough, not competitive. my point is it’s very well documented how good a mon like gyarados is for a casual playthrough or nuzlocke, but i think gliscor is just about as good. at least to me.
Okay I have a question. Are all my games glitched because every time an enemy opponent used roost and I hit it with a move that WAS ONLY SUPEREEFECTIVE against FLYING types, I still get the super effective damage
I just heard that a few days ago when you go in the cave before Safari zone and get a Pokémon at lvl 19 in front of your team with repel you have a chance for a wild Steelix. I love the remakes as I started Pokemon with Crystal in 2001 and for me they're the best Pokémon games, together with Emerald and Crystal
Another cool run. Ground Type is the only type that doesn't have a specialist in Johto, so this was exciting to watch. Cool to see Donphan, Quagsire, and the Nidos together used. Shame we couldn't see Gliscor used, but considering how much of a pain it is to get in most games, it's understandable.
I'm currently standing in front of red in ss on a poison type playthrough. I've always loved poison types(crobat tentacruel nidoking and gengar have always been hard-core favs of mine) but I've never used a drapion and I haven't used a victreebel since I was a child(silver first play through). I have a very deep respect for sniper nights lash cross poison drapion and sunny day solar beam leaf blade chlorophyll vicreebell. Sweepers for sure!
I wouldn't go for allowing pokemon that will gain the necessary type unless it's the first one you catch and there's none for a while. By these same rules, why wouldn't Altaria have been allowed in the normal run?
I can understand if it was due to time pressure for the video, but i just got to mention it. Dont recall which day but one day a week there is no hail on mt silver so you wouldn't have to waste a turn on sandstorm and just OHK the pikachu and have dugtrio at full hp.
At this point, I'm sure the only reason he decided to give the rival Totodile and not Chikorita is because the rival fight in Azalea would've been impossible to beat with the team Silph had at that point, going against a potential Bayleef. He had a Geodude, Wooper, and Sandshrew. I really, really can't see him defeating a Bayleef that has Razor Leaf with those guys. But also, giving him Totodile is a joke, given that his Wooper had water absorb. So Bayleff would've been impossible to beat in Azalea, and Croconaw is a joke with water absorb wooper. Though I agree that it would've been interesting to see him try and strategize and come up with a plan to try and beat the rival's Bayleef. Would've made things more interesting and challenging.
Honestly I don’t even know who would be the mvp of this team. Every Pokémon performed exceptionally well and all of them did what they were supposed to do with some surprising results. If I have to pick one I would have to also pick giddy just because I didn’t expect a dugtrio to be that useful but he did amazing. Finally I would consider this a deathless run because it’s almost impossible to keep a deathless monotype run when facing red. This was one of my favorite runs you’ve done and I’m excited to see some more. Maybe more scarlet and violet ribs? :)
Bro no way, I just did this run myself! The Ground type is the only type without a specialist in HGSS (Giovanni is gone and Green/Blue has no preferred type), so I became the master of grounded, or based, Pokémon. That’s awesome Silph, I wonder what you’ll do differently from me
I was missing a lot those runs I saw you post something about kingler on Twitter, how about a Water team on HGSS with only water pokemons you never used in a hardcore nuzlocke
Pretty nice, Silph! You are one who takes pokemon challenges seriously and consequently, always gives us, you expectations, the best possible challenge! Too much fun, too much emotion... you're definitely, one of the poketubers! 👏👏👏
Deathless until Red...yep, this was one of your best challenge runs yet. Always good to see you upload. 😁 So, just curious, how has life been treating you? Hopefully things are good with you. Haven't heard anything about your 'big project' in quite some time, is that going well?
Great video as always! Have you considered trying out a hardcore nuzlocke with older generation games like RBY or GSC? I imagine a mono bug type nuzlocke in RBY would be very challenging and fun.
I kind of miss when he did solo runs. The Nuzlockes are fun in their own way. But these challenges had a fun kind of personality to them. Again this was a good run. Ground Pokemon are strong.
Could you do a gen 1 playthrough please? Also best part about the pryce battle is him saying "seems as if my luck has run out" when defeated. No wonder you didn't show that part
Deathless until the very end, so that kinda counts as Silph's 3rd deathless run (Mamoswine must've been some sort of a charm for Silph, as one of the Deathless Challenges he done was Platinum with Ice-types)

Bless you, person of tenacity
Your wish was granted. So happy for you and us.
And here i got my foreskin removed... shit really ain't fair huh
Ask and you shall receive. That being said Silph post feet pictures.
NEVER BACK DOWN, NEVER WHAT?
45:50 there's some poetry in the fact that the first gym leader red ever faced gave you the tool you needed to best him.
Ground type is high among my favorite, and heart gold and soul silver speak for themselves as the most incredible games in the franchise. I'm so excited to see this one!

@@mjja4783I agree though. Pokemon following. Beautiful scenery. 2 regions. Many legendaries to catch. Challenging postgame because you can re battle the gymleaders and battle red. But for me its mostly the scenery
That's a pretty widely-held view@@mjja4783
@@mjja4783what game(s) is better than HG/SS?
@@mjja4783It’s actually a pretty common opinion. HG/SS is arguably the best, if not in the top 3 for most Pokemon fans.
Just imagine if sheerforce was available in gen 4, Nidoking here would be a beast!
Donphan has always been one of my favorite ground types from gen 2
The foreshadowing of the Dragonite/Nidoking stare down. Chefs kiss

#justiceforppleater
Love the Gen 2 remakes!!! Way to go!
You can get Onix before Falkner - you must catch Bellsprout and teade it in house near PokeCenter.
IDK if it's eligible encounter for you.
Rip quagsire😢 and it's one of the best mono type nuzlocke on you're channel
The naming convention is Mad Max! This one was a bit harder than the others, but People Eater and Rockatan really gave it away to me.
I haven’t watched any of the Mad Max films, so I wouldn’t know.
Thank you for sharing.
Ditto person above me. I was like wtf is his theme?!
The legend returns when we need him the most
In your mom's defense on those Wacan berries, I don't think you ever actually told her you were using ground types only.
“Grass on the trees” lol, amazing video silph!
Okay but “Grass on the trees???” Is the best quote from silph 😂
Could've easily saved that dugtrio against red if you had switched your quagsire in on his laprass and then could've yawned it beat it then continued the yawnin until victory

Heartgold was, and honestly still is, my all time favorite pokemon game. Great run!

gliscor is one of the most underrated mons of all time imo, especially for a nuzlocke.
Excuse me, underrated? You should watch or play some competitive pokemon
Gliscor is my favorite ground type Pokémon ❤️ wish I had more opportunities to use it through a play through though :(
Also it’s shiny is amazing! ♥️♥️♥️
"underrated"
I have not met a single person who is unaware of how good Gliscor is
@@onslaught6677 I meant in the scope of a casual playthrough, not competitive. my point is it’s very well documented how good a mon like gyarados is for a casual playthrough or nuzlocke, but i think gliscor is just about as good. at least to me.
Isn’t the level cap for Pryce 34 not 35, but I can’t blame, jhoto level curve is wierd
4:09 yea its like you get stone for free
21:25 I understood "Eggmite" and didnt even question it. A Fusion of eggsecute and Magnemite would be pretty weird
Yes!!!!!.... I been waiting for another silph upload, Lord Arceus answered, lol 😂❤
2 tusky bois , the nidopairs, and ofc Ric. Gr8 vid
Okay I have a question. Are all my games glitched because every time an enemy opponent used roost and I hit it with a move that WAS ONLY SUPEREEFECTIVE against FLYING types, I still get the super effective damage
Love the vids always outs a smile on my face to watch then keep up the good work!
Hell yeah, Entity! I absolutely love Donphan and I'm glad it got featured in your video.
Donphan is my favorite pokemon, and I am so excited I got to see it used in a run finally!
Silph, you and flygonhg should do a soullink
I just heard that a few days ago when you go in the cave before Safari zone and get a Pokémon at lvl 19 in front of your team with repel you have a chance for a wild Steelix.

How dare you not showcase Phanpy's adorableness when you talked about ground types great designs 😂
Starting the playthrough with that Oak joke...? I'm sold
A silph Nuzlocke is just what i needed on this kinda crappy day.
20:45 lol as a dad, you have the dad joke stamp of approval.
19:01 actually funny haha I never knew quagsires sprite looked like that
After doing a sandstorm team playthrough of Soulsilver, Sandslash has earned a special place for me. It performed way better than I thought it would.
I'm currently standing in front of red in ss on a poison type playthrough. I've always loved poison types(crobat tentacruel nidoking and gengar have always been hard-core favs of mine) but I've never used a drapion and I haven't used a victreebel since I was a child(silver first play through). I have a very deep respect for sniper nights lash cross poison drapion and sunny day solar beam leaf blade chlorophyll vicreebell. Sweepers for sure!
That "box fury" joke was so ace!
His return was told in the prophecies… Now he’s back to bless us all 🥲🥲 Missed ya Silph, awesome video!! 🤌🏽🤌🏽
I barely use any ground types ever. The missing speed was always a big problem for me. Ghost/Bug/Ice always my go to if possible :D
I think that Venasaur was able to OHKO because Overgrow was active
Last time I was this early, the physical and special stats weren't split!
Idk how to explain it but your voice and your commentary is so comforting, keep going
You could of got a straight steelix in the cliff cave with a certain level pokemon
Ground pokémons desing are really cool
I wouldn't go for allowing pokemon that will gain the necessary type unless it's the first one you catch and there's none for a while. By these same rules, why wouldn't Altaria have been allowed in the normal run?

Would’ve chosen Totodile as starter then Chikorita would’ve been a bigger threat due to resisting ground
Yeah especially with Rival 2 when u have two 2× weakness to razor leaf and just sandshrew in your team 😂
yes, also the challenge was immediately a lot easier with quagsire's water absorb
At this point, I'm sure the only reason he decided to give the rival Totodile and not Chikorita is because the rival fight in Azalea would've been impossible to beat with the team Silph had at that point, going against a potential Bayleef. He had a Geodude, Wooper, and Sandshrew. I really, really can't see him defeating a Bayleef that has Razor Leaf with those guys.

Nothing like getting high and watching Silph on a Sunday 😎🥰
Great video as always! I loved the last part when you showed off your team nice touch!
you should do a 6 Wooloo run and call it the comfiest run
You didn’t get Rocky? Bellsprout learns cut, so you could have caught Bellsprout to trade for Rocky!!
Why you doing Rocky dirty!!
When you forgot the "L" in your rivals name you should have said, "don't worry we will hand him plenty of L's later.".
Would love to see a ground nuzlocke of emerald , i feel theres a nice variety of pokemon there
He's got a good one of Hoenn ground types but it's on sapphire
@@MonyMonyK103 thank's i'll go watch it then

Ah yes... grass on the trees... my favorite band 😂
Babe wake up, new SilphSpectre video
THERES NO WAY ! this man is a psychic type. I’m almost done my mono ground type team play through of heartgold then silph uploads this video! Goated!

I kind of miss when he did solo runs. The Nuzlockes are fun in their own way. But these challenges had a fun kind of personality to them.
Again this was a good run. Ground Pokemon are strong.
Liverpool won and then this drops, what a day!
I'm about eat dinner.
And seeing video coming now be I'm be like:- This meal will be legendary.🗿
Honey, wake up! New Silph video dropped.
Rival should have had chikorita, azalea town fight would have been hard
I gotta say, I never knew you could get pokemon eggs from that guy. Having Slugma is fantastic for any fire/rock playthrough
Could you do a gen 1 playthrough please? Also best part about the pryce battle is him saying "seems as if my luck has run out" when defeated. No wonder you didn't show that part
I’ve been playing Pokémon for 18 years and I never knew that they lost their flying type after they use roost
You're back!!❤🎉😂
Deathless until the very end, so that kinda counts as Silph's 3rd deathless run (Mamoswine must've been some sort of a charm for Silph, as one of the Deathless Challenges he done was Platinum with Ice-types)
The Nido's flexibility are so underrated they are all Stars everytime I use them
Congrats on a nearly deathless run Silph- you’re truly one of the greatest
Does Venasaur have the Overgrow ability? That may be why Mamoswine got ko'd by the giga drain.
Ive never seen a Special Attacking Nidoking before 😯 I thought that was for Nidoqueen
I'm pretty sure you were initially correct at 16:30, Ice Beam, Flamethrower, T-bolt etc changed from 95 to 90 in Gen 6! haha
I’d love to see a run done with a Dinosaur themed team, using Tyrantrum , Aurorus, Archeops, Aerodactyl, Rampardos and Bastiodon. If possible please
Nidoking survives both Poison and Ground playthroughs of this game
Legends say that PPL Eater is still in timeout
I did this one on Pokémon Crystal! It was so much fun, let's see if you use the same strat as me against Claire, good luck!!
What was ur strat?
