CAN I BEAT A POKÉMON BRILLIANT DIAMOND HARDCORE NUZLOCKE WITH ONLY WATER TYPES!? (Pokémon Challenge)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 лис 2021
- Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are here... but can we beat their ULTIMATE CHALLENGE!? Pokemon Diamond and Pearl were some of my favorite games, and now that the remakes have released I'm excited! But might they be an even harder challenge for a hardcore nuzlocke? Let's find out!
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 Brilliant Diamond Hardcore Nuzlocke with only Water 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.

That's right - the remakes are here! Wanted to get this video up on release weekend for you guys to add to the hype, so I hope you enjoy and make sure to Subscribe if you haven't to help us reach our 200k goal!
So what your saying is
She the bidiof all the bad buizul whsnt?
When will the Sinnoh True Power series come out?
I'm not sure if we're allowed to give suggestions for videos, or where they're supposed to go, but have you ever considered doing a steel-type nuzlocke of Ultra Moon? I don't think you've done a steel type run yet and there's lots of secondary typings as well as a steel type before the first trial
Can you bring back the true power series please?
Thanks love your videos !
I do enjoy seeing all my fave poketubers getting swept by Cynthia in the new games. They really made her the monster everyone remembers her as.
it's like gamefreak realized everyone would just sweep the elite4 with the boxart legendary, so they decided the champion would be a hard counter to that.
Kind of nice knowing she's still kicking our but even with a lot of the new stuff
Am I the only one who didn’t struggle with her what’s so ever
@@mikeyjk6813 there are ways to beat her easily, such as DD gyara + mamo + SD chomp, but if you're sick of using gyara and chomp it's a real pain in the ass. I had to stall her chomp out with leech seed torterra, intimidate luxray and my palkia (all lv 62) at the end lol
@@mikeyjk6813 probably not, but it all depends on how old you were when you first played Diamond/Pearl/Plat. Also considering this is just when the game got the Special/Physical stat split, and had the elite4 have perfect IV/EVs, one could easily see most people having a struggle with this boss.
The switch overheating on the fire type E4 is so appropriate. The foe's pokemon used overheat! it fucked up the arena!
And your switch !
Hope you know that his Switch didn't actually overheat and that happened because he's using an emulator which has visual glitches
Hahaha great comment my dude underrated
@@ritwikism ? He used an emu?
@@ritwikism we need confirmation on this ive been going insane trying to figure it out
Should've named the psyduck "yellow"😂
Fr thought the same 😂
yeah, but it was game of thrones name theme
@@23hoursofsleep Lord to the Rings, not Game of Thrones
and flygonhg
@@KyleOgilvie1 correct
Dialga: tell me, where is Gandalf, for I much desire to speak with him.
Silph: An Abomasniw from Morgoth
He’ll be back stronger than ever in the next one
Dialga: What did you say?
Lucky man, seeing you capture Marill in your challenge yet mine ran away after a 3 shake breakout on the first turn has me literally fuming.
I found a shiny Quagsire in the great marsh and it fled
Yeah, but also did some bonehead moves as you failed to adapt to the game. Also, dying to a Sudowoodo.
The reason why Golduck survived is because of affection. In this game, when pokemons have max affection they sometimes survive at 1hp, or heal themselves from status... the only way to prevent this is to give them the bitter herbs
It's friendship, not affection
@@simonalbert7518 The two mechanics were merged after gen 6, so both are pretty much the same thing now
@@simonalbert7518 they are the same and it is even more annoying than non removable exp share is somehow >:(
@@AlphaladZXA Affection is raised by using pokemon Amie/refresh while friendship is used for return/frustration as well as other procs that are different for each
@@simonalbert7518 you completely ignored Ratty man, they are linked to eachother now that's what we're talking about here
I love the fact that the important trainers are actually a challenge in these games. Also, that one double battle with the Gyarados in the rain that tends to catch people unaware. Brutal for any nuzlocker! I love it!
Words cannot explain how much I've missed Sinnoh, it just feels bittersweet being there again
Why bitter?
I know the feeling not looking forward to the Cynthia battle lol
@@Amateracu1991DFFOO cos its a remake that doesn't add much new for $60
Cause its nothing new for full price
Edit: what that guy said^
@@elliotw.888 exept bad player models
Rough, the second failed water type BD run I've seen and you can really tell that the trainers were buffed quite a lot.
Absolutely love a new upload from Silph. Made my entire morning so much better.
16:00 that moment had me laughing so hard
Octilery is honnestly one of my favorite water types I use it any chance i can and it never dissapoints
Edit: I'm so happy to see that Cynthia is still a challenge to everyone still and had most nuzlockers wipe to her, we asked for a hard game and we got it
We didn’t get a hard game tho.
We got an hard final boss and an unbalanced everything else lol
@@thats4thebirds That affection add on has really helped me. I managed to beat her my second time with only my Gardevoir left. She healed her Garchomp once and I did moonblast, then she did it again so I did moonblast again. The third time she didn't heal and she did Poison Jab and luckily due to the affection Gardevoir stayed with one health left and the moonblast the third time did the trick. I definitely did not expect her to be so tough in this remake. My plan worked for the first five pokemon, but that Garchomp is something else.
@@borngaga95 still should have lost imo the friendship boost makes the whole playthrough unbalanced and the para,confusion stuff got nerfed to 25% instead of 50% like usual
Kinda sad to watch where this is going
Berry is an absolut joke too
But it makes sense! Your pokemon should feel attached to you. Yall act like that isn't like the same thing as a move missing. It's a chance to activate.
You should definitely do an Alpha Sapphire run with only grass types! There’s a ton of great different Pokémon and there’s tons of features in the game to make catching Pokémon more exciting!
I would love that plus Treecko is my favorite Pokémon
Ooh, you should play with only dual-type Pokémon and none of the types can match. So if you have a team of 5, you should have 10 unique types between them! That might just be fun and not... hard. I don't know.
Thats how...thats how I play normally xD
@@EinFelsbrocken lol well okay then. I'm trying to think of different ways he can play other than just locking into 1 type.
Like, any Pokémon you want, except in your battles you must choose the worst matched Pokémon for the opponent, so it's just always harder.
@@Polydueces mayby he could do baby pokemon only (evolite banned)
@@EinFelsbrocken me too
@@EinFelsbrocken trust me best way to make sure you have coverage 😭
Caution: this nuzlock is slippery when wet.
I was so confused why I was getting hit so hard by random trainers and gym leaders. I had a special defensive hippopatas and it was one shot by a stab shadow ball haunter. Makes sense if they have actual evs and what not, but come one 160 health with 100 Spdef and this thing still gets one shot.
Same confusion here lol. Random one shots everywhere during my playthrough
Aaron’s Drapion has the Sniper ability, plus the Scope Lens, plus Night Slash has a higher crit ratio - scary indeed with all those crits!
I'm happy to see Sinnoh + a Silph video, but that chibi style is really not my thing. It feels so weird to see a chibi running around, switching to normal, good-looking models for a battle, and then switching back to chibi models, especially if it's multiple short battles on a route or something.
That is definitely fair. I thought the same thing at first but now I love it. It’s supposed to bring back the nostalgia of the original games for those who played them. I can definitely see why so many hate it. It does look like animal crossing more than a Pokémon game.
I usually don’t complain about graphics, but I passed on the games mostly due to how unappealing the visuals are. It looks terrible. The point of remakes are to have everything look better, and that is not what they did. Maybe I’d have gotten BD if it was half the price, but it just isn’t worth what it costs.
It really is an acquired taste; but the world design works quite well with the chibi figures, I think :)
Glad to know you like Octilery too. Such a fun pokemon to use, and a very unique concept
Oh my god. Not only did you do a mono water run but IT'S ALSO IN SINNOH
Props to you man, you're a god
Edit: I was actually ready too watch you lose against Cynthia because I knew what was coming, but I gotta say I thought it would be against Garchomp. I lost to her myself 7 times and I loved it.
This run hits home. My first run at Pokémon was with Empoleon and I was too young to understand to balance my team, had no internet and understood basically no English. That led to my Empoleon basically being overleveled while my highest other pokemon were ones I caught on Victory Road. At the Elite Four I could not figure out how to beat them as I didn't really know all type weaknesses. I ended up giving up, resetting the game and starting over with Turtwig with who I breezed through the game. Now it's tough to see Empoleon still not reach that hall of fame.
I remember I used to just get stuck at Fantina for the longest time, so I just gave up and started a new game every time, starting it with each starter and still not being able to beat it for the longest time. Then one time when I chose Grotle, I let my younger brother play it one night and the next day, I saw he was over at Solaceon Town.
I enjoyed this! Totally didn’t expect the ending, seems like the new move sets and typings are amazingly tough
I'm so glad that we got to see Empoleon with you and Infernape with Antlerboy!
Edit: I can't believe you both did the "Look at the top of his head!" bit. xD
Such a great video to celebrate release 😄
"You'd think after 14 years of this, you'd learn to watch where you're going" You would think after growing up with Barry, you'd learn to judo yeet him.
More Grass monotype runs would be nice, its a challenging type with interesting options. Or, if romhacks are acceptable, Pokemon Unbound. Its honestly not just the best romhack I've played, but one of the best pokemon games in general...
I love the visual update to Gardenia and her gym; She is my favorite gym leader, so for all that I don't like Funko Pop Pokemon universe, the actual in-battle graphic update is so nice.
Dude tortured his Switch just to bring us a new video. That's some dedication right here!
1:23 The fandom: "I'm going to pretend I didn't see that."
I'm so glad this video exists! Thank you for uploading this so soon after the release, you are incredible! Another video to relax to, thank you again. I have yet to play the remakes (I'm waiting until later this week) but this video got me so excited for it. Thank you!
Don’t blame yourself that you lost! I still had fun watching this video, you were doing great! Thank you for an interesting run
So they decided to buff Cynthia with a more competitive team? One of the most infamous champions of all time ? Its like giving garchomp a mega evolution he didn’t need but much more successful this time around
I was honestly surprised you lost the run but those play rough misses were very unlucky!! Also can we take a moment to appreciate that we haven’t had a Pokémon game with this difficulty since Unova if only there was a toggle for the exp share
Cant forget that usum were hard games too beat
@@raisethejollyrodger1110 nah usum are easy
23:34 Man accidentally spoke Iono's Mismagius into existence 💀
Silph your Pokémon videos have the most personality, best pacing, and best storytelling of anyone on UA-cam in my opinion
Amazing Video SilphSpectre! Keep up the good work!
Barry’s mom got me weak af 🤣🤣🤣🤣 she’s done with life…and that goofy hat I was in real tears 😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm doing my own pokemon hardcore nuzlocke in BD using flying type and its so much fun!
Thank goodness Zubat learns absorb early on or I'm not sure if I would have gotten past Roark!
I'm on my way to Veilstone and my team is golbat, gyrados, staravia, murkrow, swablu, & hoothoot
Good luck mate, hope you complete the run.
@@Acs2004 I've got 7 badges and 3 deaths so far. I love my team and the only real challenge after Roark was Byron. Steelix with thunder fang and Bastiodon with thunderbolt 😭 😭 😭 I also found out I can't evolve my gligar
@@enlightened_orca Bro, go to the route below veilstone (214 i guess) , there's a hidden razor fang, then you can get a nifty gliscor.
@@enlightened_orca How's the run going?
@@Atzumou_ Sort of a late reply BUT I did manage to beat Cynthia and get into the Hall of Fame! My final team was Haku the gyarados, Amazon the pelipper, Kahlua the mantine, Oberon the togekiss, Melody the altaria, and Bruce the crobat. I've been super busy with a new job and moving but I think I'll do another run with either rock, fighting, or psychic
I love watching your videos, you playing the remake is even better! So excited!
Out of all the types the only ones that Sliph haven’t used in monotype nuzlocke are fairy, steel and ice.
Hoping that he does at least one of those types soon.
Is there a game where you can get an Ice or to-be Ice type before the first gym? I didn't think there was. I'd certainly enjoy an Ice nuzlocke though, they're pretty... Cool.
@@nssheepster the only games I can think of where it would be possible to access an ice type in the early part of the game is Sword/Shield.
In Sun and Moon you can catch Crabrawler, which later in the game evolve in an ICE type, Crabominable.
Buy there is It, those are the only one.
Here from the future to let you know what you probably already know. That being that all of these types have been done.
@@superlombax1561 thank you for the reminder.
I love your nuzlockes so much! With work a complete run like this would take months and your production on these videos is incredibly entertaining!!! Thank you for continuing to put out such amazing videos :)
The audio/sound clips add so much goodness to these runs, keep up the great work. Thoroughly enjoy your content.
Oh boy here we go! Awesome challenge Silph!
Just.... beautiful, ty Silph
After a 12 hour work day this is the best thing to come home to. Thank you silph 🙏🏼
Ah yes, you fought Flint so hard his room couldn’t handle it and imploded. Kinda reminds me of the opening to black and white 1.
This nuzlocke had me laughing so hard lol!
You were right! I watched like 2 dozens of your videos and have only just subscribed ;) Keep it up, good luck, great success.
I love the lord-of-the-rings theme! Great video as always :)
SINNOH REMAKES HYPE
Loved the LOTR references, especially the Silmarillon ones!
Loved the names for this run. keep on keeping on Silph.
Loved this video! Since you started with water and got piplup I think it’s only fitting that you try grass or fire next! Grass gives you a lot of options to choose from but fire would be a huge challenge with only 3 options, 4 of you’re using Pearl
Been waiting for this one!! Yessssss
Always enjoy these videos! Keep up the amazing commentary!
Dude, that was a FAST turnaround. Well done!
these monotype hardcore nuzlockes for these games are gonna be really challenging for everyone lol
Man I love these nuzlocke videos...I have watched each of them several times❣️
Fun fact:for some reason, in the sinnoh remakes they gave cynthia competitively perfect pokemon
This brought me so much joy to see my fave pokemon game get a revamp. Kept all the things I loved about the original.
What about Pokemon Sword with Only Poison types???? 👀 I recently did it and it was so much fun!
Lol I love the naming theme… especially Thorondor for empoleon 😂
Curious to see how you’d achieve a dark run with how they’ve made Spiriromb harder to get
Remakes are here! Hopefully at some point this means we get to see a Sinnoh true power tournament. Also, awesome job on the run!
I waited to watch this until beating the game at least once. And wow...this game was a ride. The Elite 4 and Cynthia were absolute walls. My first try at a nuzlocke ended in devastation. Even giving that up and simply trying to beat the game without leveling like a maniac was really tough.
Great fun overall though. Both to watch and play. Will probably use these games for any random challenges I do actually give a try for.
I’m going through a breakup right now and for some reason I can’t stop binging your hardcore nuzlocke videos. I think they’re helping me lol. You’re such a talented narrator and I’m happy I found your channel, keep doing what you do man
For anyone curious, it’s pretty easy to beat Roark with just Piplup. It can one shot Cranidos after one Work Up, which I set up on Onix since it does less damage than Geodude.
Friendship/affection really changes the outcome of the game.
Kudos to you! I'm here b/c I lost to Cynthia last night which ruined my run. I switched two pokemon and tried a different strategy and then beat her (I only had 5 going into her match anyway), but not having the W on the Nuzlocke hurts a bit. Can't wait to try again though!
15:24 I noticed that too while I was playing through Brilliant Diamond! 😂
I love this videos i wait for them every weekend keep it up great content
these remakes are so beautiful, i loved every second of it
Amazing work! looks like a lot of changes from the trainers original teams
Oh, there are? Alright. I ask because I never played the original Diamond and Pearl.
Loved the Silmarillion/Lotr names🤩😍
Crazy upload mate the game only came out a couple of days ago! Keep up the consistency man i love it
A shame that you lost this one (so close, too!), but that's fine. This just shows how tough BDSP is, what with the opposition being prepared like competitive. 18/5, man. Better luck next time, I guess.
Anyway, with BDSP released now, hopefully we'll see the return of the True Power series!
Ehhh I don't think the literal champion being hard means the rest of the game is, he's literally limiting himself by only using one type of pokemon in a nuzlock format and it's still pretty much a cake walk
I was looking forward to this :)
Octillary Is So Underrated I Have Always Loved This Pokémon
At 8:17 when Psyduck uses water pulse you can see the gym (not the battle arena) in the background. Cool detail I’ve never noticed before
I think mini Gyarados was probably my favorite moment of these remakes
Damn you made this quick respect
Turns out that plus defense nature for pipplup was clutch as hell it seems
The humor in this is top notch haha
😃 look ma, I'm on the youtubes 🤣
I'm happy you saw the comment and happier that I subbed, great content that I can't get enough of.
I love ur videos keep up the good work Silph!!
Azumarill going down to Spiritomb was one of the biggest chokes I've ever seen.
that's why she's the goat the goooaaaat! props to you for not cheating and rerecording you beating her on another try
The beacons are lit, Gondor calls for aid!
"And Piplupp shall answer!"
3 things i have to say on this video silph
1: Gandalf noooooooooo!!!
2: you sadly lost since you did not have your mascot kingdra on ya mah dude.
3. I have mad respect for you to actully show runs that you loose the last match had me shocked when i saw it. Amazingly played.
Silph, FlygonHG, Antlerboy are 100% worth subscribing to. Their commentary on these challenges are awesome. Keep up the good stuff man!
28:16 Galadriel is in a bit of a pinch. It looks like it might cry...
Wow, that made me feel things out of nowhere.
This'll be fun to watch
I love the edits man 😂
Really enjoy your videos. Do you stream your play throughs?
When you started talking about his hat I lost it 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Make sure to leave a like and subscribe if you enjoyed!!
I was very pleased to see they increased difficulty on the elite 4
When I went into the 4th gym my gastrodon hard walked Wake. Buying ice beam from the department store and gastrodon learning recovery with a swap into brine makes that guy a beast.
What better way to enjoy the new game than a Silph nuzlocke
This is the second Brilliant Diamond Water-type Hardcore Nuzlocke I have seen this weekend... and the other guy failed. Let's see how Silph takes on this one. Yeah, he whited out too.
Also, why didn't you two get the ROTOM?!
Is rotom type swap available before the league?
@@michaeldavid1566 Yes, in Eterna Forest tower iirc.
@@azeemsiddiqui4764 rotom is postgame
Vespiquen’s sprite looks really good in this game.
