@@tumbleweedanimations"pretty easy" you know how many times he had to rely on just not getting critted in that league? Almost a miracle the run didn't end
I was gib-smacked after I read this comment... it was RIGHT there alla long, and I was completely clueless until you said it. Lol the "steal" type hahaha dang that's good
"Lemme kill most of your Pokemon and make you unable to play around the crits during my champion fight." "I swear, I couldn't have done anything against Cyrus."
I was honestly expecting an early reset to get Levitate on Bronzor, but I gotta say, sticking to Heatproof definitely made for a more fun challenge and video to watch. Congrats!
I've done this challenge and honestly Heatproof is more useful than Levitate. Being able to stall Cyrus' Houndoom PPs and surviving an Overheat from Flint's Flareon without risking a crit to set-up Rain Dance and Trick Room(with an enormous amount of HP and spdef investment i have to say) was definitely more worth since Lucario demolished every Earthquake user with Reversal strats
You've been absolutely popping off these last few videos. I've loved all your content, but something about the past couple have just really been firing on all cylinders: the script, editing, jokes - absolute bangers! Really great stuff, and I'm always thrilled to see new content from you :D
your last steellocke involved hoping for a heatproof bronzor and you got levitate, and now that you're able to get a normal levitate bronzong is when you get heatproof
Interesting Hardcore Nuzlocke Challenge: Use a number generator and fill in the amount of pokemon for that region, such as Kanto having 151 pokemon, but exclude legendaries and mythicals. Roll the number generator 6 times and those pokemon and their evolution lines are the only pokemon you can use the entire run (you can use HM slaves). If you get a pokemon that has 2 evolution lines, such as wurmple, you can choose either evolution line. Hardcore Nuzlocke rules applied. Good luck!
As a fellow Danny whose favourite animal is a penguin, this makes me happy. I sure hope he doesn't die... Edit: Tough to see him go down, but what an effort by Danny, a true fighter.
You have _really_ been killing it with the humor and narratives in these recent videos and I already loved your older stuff! Tess, you will always be in my heart.
I know 5:08 was supposed to be a sweet and corny (but legit) joke, but as a female gamer whose struggled to fit in with her male peers it super means a lot to me, thanks Flygon ❤❤
Always glad to see my favorite, Empoleon, in runs like this. Shame he fell in the end but he took Cynthia's Garchomp with him so I'm damn proud of him!
Absolutely loved the Ocean’s 11 naming theme, it’s one of my fav franchises! It was awesome watching this vid and seeing the Steel types shine in the different Operations. Did you have a plan for the names or did you randomly assign the characters to a Pokémon? Also, I think it’s baffling that Empoleon is still the *only* Water/Steel type Pokémon after we’ve officially hit over 1000 for the Pokédex. We need at least two more lines to get the paired typing that aren’t starters to allow us to use it more!
I agree. I can understand if he does it to challenge himself, but if Uncle Jimtendo™️ makes it possible to inevitably obtain your Steel Pokémon at some point in the playthrough, I really wouldn’t have minded if, e.g., Prinplup and Onix be used alongside Wormadam instead of just boxing/not catching because “it’s not technically Steel” yet.
I appreciate the creativity, the effort and the research put into some of your runs, but monotype nuzlockes on 3rd, 4th or 5th generation games are my absolute favourites
Having just finished a mono-Steel Platinum challenge just last week myself, it was fun seeing the differences here (although mine wasn't hardcore). Props for making do with Heatproof, cuz if my Bronzong didn't have Levitate I wouldn't have stood a chance
Well that was an insane elite four. It's a good showcase that sometimes even with such a great typing a monotype nuzocke can still be quite challenging. Anyway once again I will recommend a no stab moves / bluntmons run of Black / White. I'll recommend adding an extra rule that you have to fight all optional trainers before each level cap, which is what I did and I think it makes it more interesting.
i have a rare name, tess isnt shown much. but the one time it gets love, the one time it gets a chance in the spotlight, its on a trash-cloack wormadam. love u flygonhg❤
i haven't watched a flygonhg video in a while and WOW you are so much more upbeat! much more dynamic videos, definitely different than what i'm used to but i still like it!
I like how the naming convention for them all was straight out of the Ocean’s franchise. I could almost hear the song they used in the DVD menu selection screen for Oceans 12. If you would have snuck in “Rito A Los Angeles”, I don’t think anyone would have objected at all.
Your jokes always hit, amazing writing as usual Others nuzlockers try to put some jokes in their video and it feels very much like a lazy afterthought but with your vids, they are just perfectly placed, loved the Cynthia bit with the favours
A bigger change in music and editing !! Details are important and you did a great job by being better more and more in every video you made !! Good job Flygon !!
Anyone remember how not even 2 weeks ago, flygonHG put a meme in his ad about "grandma" being led to bed after mentioning remembering a video not sponsored by squarespace? Pepperidge farm remembers
I love every video you do Flygon. The monolockes and romhacks have been great recently, but I am itching for a themed nuzlocke. I think a Barbie vs. Oppenheimer nuzlocke would be fun! (Pink and/or black Pokémon only)
that was INTENSE. you would think that one of the best types in pokemon would make for an easy challenge but the e4 especially that cynthia fight had so much suspense flygonhg this is why i am subscribed to your channel and i liked this video
I've been binge watching your content since yesterday after I finally took the leap to check out your channel. I have ONE regret, not doing it before! I do wanna try my luck at a nuzlocke but being a wee lass on the challenge, I'll do it on Fire Red but still without items in battle and no leveling past the Gym Leader's ace. So thank you for indirectly teaching me!
My first platinum nuzlocke I wanted to use a steel wormadam, but didn’t really understand how his evolution worked so I got stuck with a ground one. Moral of the story: steel > ground lol
If you're using Rare Candies to level up, I think you should consider taking on each of the end game boss fights using Pokemon whose levels are no higher than the opponent's ace. I.e. changing the level cap system so that the cap is always at the next Elite 4's ace.
that's what he does for every boss fight, as you can clearly see from the "Current Level Cap" in the top right. the reason some of the Pokemon are higher level is because the Elite Four and Champion are played with a single level cap that ends when you begin the Elite Four challenge. so everything starts at the cap, and levels up over the course of the Elite Four fights
@@MonkStarling yeah. nobody does this, but It really feels like it would make the first half of the e4 way more fun. like the first guy always gets screwed because they are like 15 levels below you.
@@MonkStarling I feel like the problem is that he'd get overleveled within the elite four. in the later gens it works a bit better since you can do the elite four in any order, so they all have the same level cap
Flygon HG is one of the few who still train his pokemon in the wild instead of using rare candies. Still, i like your idea, and use it most times i play a nuzlocke
I love Steven as a champion. Right? He's one of my favorite. But Cynthia is designed to instill fear. The anxiety inducing starting music, the absolutely stacked team(who's perfectly iv'd in the remake)
Ah, yes. I was searching for this video again for the sponsor, actually. So thanks for offering one of the few useful ads I've ever received. Getting myself a Christmas present~
But Dr. HG, steel types are incredible. Surely a monolocke would be an absolute walk in the park, right?
Lol
WRONG
Looked like a walk in the park to me. If he'd got a Bronzong with Levitate he would've strolled the entire game and even then it was pretty easy.
@@tumbleweedanimations"pretty easy" you know how many times he had to rely on just not getting critted in that league? Almost a miracle the run didn't end
@@marcalcantara1174I mean, not getting critted is 94% chance right? I like those odds lol
I know it's not intentional, but the idea of Barry getting so pissed off with you that all of his pokemon have a move to hit steel types is hilarious
I know it's not the most popular steel type but I'm happy my boy Bastiodon actually got to do stuff
Same with Wormadam
He just had Bastiodon that carried a big portion of his Eternal X run
Watch the renegade platinum vods
I've always wanted to use a Bastiodon in a playthrough so I'm happy whenever I see it used
While magnezone apparently *is* popular (or at least pretty good?) I do love it so I'm always happy to see it in use
I absolutely love how you made this into a heist movie plot because its a STEEL type monolocke. You truly are the best story teller on youtube.
Oh pffft, that's terrible, I love it
I was gib-smacked after I read this comment... it was RIGHT there alla long, and I was completely clueless until you said it. Lol the "steal" type hahaha dang that's good
everytime a new flygonhg vid drops the day just gets better tbh
Sane
Preach brother
S A M E !
FACTS!!
Trueeeee
Cynthia be like:
"Go deliver this medicine"
"Go talk to my grandmother"
"Go beat Cyrus"
"Lemme kill most of your Pokemon and make you unable to play around the crits during my champion fight."
"I swear, I couldn't have done anything against Cyrus."
I owned the physical copy of the game when it was new and I never noticed that Cynthia made me do things she could have done.
Exactly! So as revenge, we destroy her during the Elite 4 lol
And we adore her nonetheless lol
@@jonathanpayne4772 oh, absolutely 😂
Losing the one heatproof pokemon right before Flynt is one of the cruelest things I've ever seen in a nuzlocke 😭
The story! The editing! The nail-biting moments! This one was a stunner. Thanks for the S Tier video Dr. HG!

Yup.
It's almost like he comes around every Saturday...
He was gone for a week?!
@@spec5081 No. Just an overly dramatic comment.
Here before top coment?
Also, agreed
The spy aesthetic you went for in this run was amazing!
Yo flygon hg out here making the most basic of nuzlocke premises exciting and engaging. Love the evolution in content!

@@killermoviemakers this is why we have trouble fitting in my friend
I love these runs so much. You are my comfort UA-camr at this point. Keep up the amazing vids man!!
Damn, what a close call of a run! Made for a really fun watch
I've been waiting for this run for a LONG time. So excited to see how this goes!
I was on the edge of my seat during the entire Elite 4 arc - just wow! GGs on the steel run!
the way you framed this and the white 2 grass video are so much fun. great video, keep it up!
Always glad to see my favorite, Empoleon, in runs like this. Shame he fell in the end but he took Cynthia's Garchomp with him so I'm damn proud of him!
I cant even begin to explain how much i love your content. Keep it up! ❤
Getting a final crit during the last battle against Milotic while dreading a crit was something to behold and celebrate.
Big fan of the Oceans theme on this one. You crushed it as always with the narrative and story telling! Loved it!
Absolutely loved the Ocean’s 11 naming theme, it’s one of my fav franchises! It was awesome watching this vid and seeing the Steel types shine in the different Operations. Did you have a plan for the names or did you randomly assign the characters to a Pokémon?

I feel like you should be allowed to use a pokemon if it will become that type or was that type briefly. Since rock trainers can use Steelix.
He is able to beat the challenges anyway. Why should he make it more easy
He sets his own rules
So... no one is stopping him
I agree. I can understand if he does it to challenge himself, but if Uncle Jimtendo™️ makes it possible to inevitably obtain your Steel Pokémon at some point in the playthrough, I really wouldn’t have minded if, e.g., Prinplup and Onix be used alongside Wormadam instead of just boxing/not catching because “it’s not technically Steel” yet.
his run, his rules, let him play however is most fun for him.
@@3eve0n yeb
That AD segment eas actually amazing, you do such a good job making ADs enjoyable, FlygonHG, mad respect and appreciation 👌🏻
I appreciate the creativity, the effort and the research put into some of your runs, but monotype nuzlockes on 3rd, 4th or 5th generation games are my absolute favourites
Every progressive FlygonHG video shows his better rise of confidence in his voice and storytelling. You've gone a long way and I love it. ❤
Another master class in both nuzzlock skill and story telling!!!! Outstanding
I see Empoleon in the thumbnail so I already know this is gunna be a banger. JUSTICE FOR PIPLUP (aka my favorite Pokémon)
I saw "Upload 24 Secends ago." And here I'm. Let's go
More flygon to start my day means it’s gonna be a good day
Loved the Ocean's movies reference Flygon. You do great stories during these challenges.
This was an emotional rollercoaster and the greatest heist of all time.
I like how the poster shows the final team for the E4, nice touch.
Finally a new FlygonHG video, I can enjoy my meal now
Love the Shawn of the Dead style plan at the start
I was definitely as on the edge of my seat as you were during those final fights!
5:09 “girls just wanna have fundamental human rights”
Having just finished a mono-Steel Platinum challenge just last week myself, it was fun seeing the differences here (although mine wasn't hardcore). Props for making do with Heatproof, cuz if my Bronzong didn't have Levitate I wouldn't have stood a chance
Absolutely sick end of the run! Great stuff
"They're so much more endearing with a cute animal." *Inputs picture of Poppy*
Always a good day when FlygonHG uploads 🎉
Yeeeppp
By far this is one of my favorite runs you have done.
I love how much more confident you've become with your content

The music and narrative in this video are stellar! I am so thankful for you and your videos. The best cold medicine!
That last fight was just a "phew" moment. Always an enjoyable watch
The editing, the narration, the gameplay! Chef’s kiss 🤌🏻
i haven't watched a flygonhg video in a while and WOW you are so much more upbeat! much more dynamic videos, definitely different than what i'm used to but i still like it!

Love platinum, but I can’t wait for the final eternal X video!

If you would have snuck in “Rito A Los Angeles”, I don’t think anyone would have objected at all.
Damn, dude, you smashed this. You should be proud of how far you've come with Nuzlockes, because this was an amazing run and an equally good video.
I really enjoyed the sponsorship ad, keep at it bro 💯 (go little fan go)
Your jokes always hit, amazing writing as usual
Others nuzlockers try to put some jokes in their video and it feels very much like a lazy afterthought but with your vids, they are just perfectly placed, loved the Cynthia bit with the favours

Still waiting on the Nuzlocke with all of our favorite Pokémon from each nuzlocke
it's just gonna have six spheals
Spheal Team Six to make a comeback when?

Dr. Flygon HG's runs are transforming from wholesome fantasy stories to frightening tales of horror and I'm 100% here for it!
Awesome video. So glad to see Scizor again, since in my own platinum run, he swept Lucian and Cynthia with substitute, swords dance, and bullet punch.
The KING’S HERE TO DOMINATE ONCE AGAIN
Wow that final sequence of fights was just pure. Loved this one.
Every product is 100% better with Poppy in the picture 👍

What a clutch at the end! So good for a dramatic finale, and masterfully edited for the most tension. Now don't mind me as i go rest my heart.
The simple fact of the matter that’s that Tess’s blood is on Rusty’s Heatproof hands.
These videos keep getting better, thanks for putting so much effort in for us

Yesssss!!!!!! Oceans 13 is my favorite movie of all time! Love the naming scheme for Steel!
Was literally watching one of your vids when this uploaded. Great timing lol
Lol 😅
Loving the Ocean's 11 names!
The clutch finale always has my heart thumping!!
Trash cloak wormadame is a surprisingly amazing pokemon. I used one in a steel type run of my own to sweep Cynthia!
Linus with the clutch crit at the end was just pure perfection if you know what the naming theme was.
Loved the cute little animal on the screen.
