i think that platinum is the best game to casually nuzlocke once you get the hang of it, not too easy, not too hard, and all of the ridiculous tools the earlier gens provide you with. black 2 is still my favorite overall, though, i think the boss team compositions never get too over or underwhelming.
Correct me if I'm wrong. Gallade was at 115 of 159hp. If Garchomp sees the kill with all moves it chooses one randomly. So there was a 1 in 4 chance for a flamethrower that could have subsequently burned and killed Weavile even with the sash and that would have killed the run.
i severely doubt a nonstab flamethrower would be used on gallade, who has high special defense. garchomp's special attack is quite bad, even for gen 4 standards when power creep was lower. Lvl 62 252+ SpA Garchomp Flamethrower vs. Lvl 60 52 HP / 0 SpD Gallade on a critical hit: 107-126 (67.2 - 79.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO Possible damage amounts: (107, 108, 109, 110, 112, 113, 114, 115, 117, 118, 119, 120, 122, 123, 124, 126) it would have needed to be max invested to kill on a crit, and i dont think the ai can detect burn damage landing a kill.
You overestimate the damage of Flamethrower or you underestimate Gallade´s special bulk, Flamethrower isn´t even near of killing from that range, it could be only Dragon Rush or Earthquake on the switch
@@pikminman13 Thanks for the explanation. I never used gallade and I thought it was a glass cannon. But yes, because of the strong special defence the switch was always safe. Well played Grumpy.
I imagined Weavile giving the Terminator 2 thumbs up as it falls, as if encouraging you to pull it off, which I think is appropriate. It accomplished what it was meant to do, and now it just had to put its trust in you
@@grumpygengar22 the gallade with that movepool was a dirty move 😝 + I was expecting roserade due to the physical bulk of Bertha's pokemon. In the end, Gallade was better for Milotic + Flint too. I liked the idea of Bronzong as a tanky steel type wall for toxic and screens but after watching the fights, I feel he wasn't as helpful overall. Hoping for a Platinum tier list to see your overall opinion 😁🤞
Are the spikes or points behind Gengar suppose to be its hair? Or is it its back…? I never noticed Gengar had that I thought he was a perfectly round blob.
Amazing series, loved every episode! Your editing skills also improved during these series, which was awesome to see! Can’t wait for the next one, any hints? 👀
@@grumpygengar22never mind, your team is terrible against Cynthia's Spiritomb. Weavile is your best option, but if Spiritomb got an omni-boost, then you may have lost
I was thinking that you could have brought in the Pelipper on Garchomp. It would most likely use Earthquake and if Pelipper knows Ice beam, it might have done the job without having to have Weavile take so much damage. But I might be wrong! Congratulations on a great win! It was a real nail biter. I like that you started adding more effects to build up suspence! The zooming in on Milotic’s healthbar 👌
Congratulations for your run! You inspired me to try the hardcore nuzlocke rules myself, and I really enjoyed doing the challenge even if I lost my Nuzlocke by not knowing Byron's Steelix had Ice Fang, and after losing my tank against Barry
Would've been a shame if you lost the run at the league... ;) It's kinda sad that two of the Elite Four members are just Surf fodder. I really like Flint's Magmortar's ball capsule animation. Really cool how it looks like he's blasting fire from his arm cannon. It's something that you just can't recreate in 3D. 13:50 It's not much, but I like the zoom-in here. A simple, yet effective way to emphesize your point. 15:08 AAH, DANG IT! I was on the edge the entire time the health bar was draining, in hope Infernape will survive, but alas o7 18:20 Rest in peace, Bronzong. You died due to bad planning. o7 I am NOT looking forward to this. 😧 21:15 R.I.P. Rotom. You did your best, buddy. You will be remembered. o7 21:50 😮 22:38 Like our host Gengar has said, o7 Everyone praise Gallade the Avenger! And a minute of silence for our fallen friends... 😔
FlameHarambe was watching your fight with Cyntia from the heavens. 🫡 Can't wait for your next series, and to discover if it's gonna be a Golden Experience or a Silver End for your Gen 4 experience. *Wink Wink*
Congratulations. I really enjoyed watching the series. All the best for your future runs. And the Pelipper won my heart 😂

I didn't even think about the potential for burn. At the very least that could have maybe made ice punch not a guaranteed kill

@@pikminman13 Oh hey, it's pikminman! Providing useful damage calcs as always.

Awesome way to look at it
What a nail biting finale! Loved watching this series, and cant wait to see what you do next with Platinum!
Oh my God, I was pretty stressed at the end there, loved this series!! 🥳
Following since third to last episode of previous run, was so excited you were running platinum. Can’t wait to see what’s next brotha!
What a butt-clencher! Thanks for sharing this endeavor with us, it was truly a pleasure to spectate.
What a journey! Happy that I got 4/6 from the final team. LF for the complete video to re-watch it altogether.
Yeah you were very close!

Fantastic ending to a fun series!
If anyone isn’t subscribed now, you will want to definitely be before 10k!🎉
A bit late to the party but…
Congratz! Fun series. 07 Infernape.
What a series, i learned a lot that i never knew about the game ^v^ excited to see what you tackle next
What will be the next ? 😏
Diamond with only Fire Pokemon.
You'll see in a couple weeks!
@@grumpygengar22 I bet it's something interesting!
fun series.
Are the spikes or points behind Gengar suppose to be its hair? Or is it its back…? I never noticed Gengar had that I thought he was a perfectly round blob.
Yeah I felt like he always had a little tuft
Amazing series, loved every episode! Your editing skills also improved during these series, which was awesome to see! Can’t wait for the next one, any hints? 👀
Platinum with Poison types only! 😊
In some areas, you played too safe and unnecessarily lost Pokémon as a result
I agree, I need some work in that department
@@grumpygengar22never mind, your team is terrible against Cynthia's Spiritomb. Weavile is your best option, but if Spiritomb got an omni-boost, then you may have lost
yayyyyy grumpy you did ittttt 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
GG, Grumpy Gengar
