Your pokemon is dead. No way around that.

I just lost 5/6 mons to a Sigilyph.
Survived with a Trubbish and Sandslash in the PC.
Nothing left to catch until I beat the gym.

Fucking wild kadabras appearing and 1-shotting two of my starters in yellow. They weren't even higher level.

I had enough patience to level grind pretty hard in preparation for this monster. Despite that I lost a beloved ally to this... thing.
>mfw I legit teared up
Nuzlockes are emotionally brutal.

>>27455676
I have a nuzlocke started on gen v too, but I lost the first try of it (basically to Lenora, she wiped out all but one) and I'm scared to continue. It'll all be worth it in the end, I hope...

There are no pics, but random critical hits.
>Tentacruel gets up to +6 Def with Barrier
>Gothitelle is dealing ~10% with Psyshock
>suddenly crit, OHKO
Maybe it was my fault for leaving a Tentacruel against a Gothitelle, but I had no Dark-types and nothing with the SpD to stand against it. I honestly forgot that it got Psyshock, until it did ~40% in the first hit. A Barrier reduced it to ~30%, I healed, Barrier again, etc.

There's a double battle in BW that uses two of them at once, which if you're not going in expecting it is almost a guaranteed death sentence for one of your team.

Dude put a trigger warning on that shit

That fucking triple battle ace trainer in chargestone cave in bw2. I didnt fucking heal beforehand and lost my emboar, scraggy, and my fucking leavanny all in one go, stuck fighting skyla with a seviper, krokorok, and muk

>tfw just lost my alpha sapphire nuzlocke run to May because I forgot you fight her right before Mauvile

rip whimsur, groyvle and poochyena. nothing stood up to that double kick

>>27459032
In my omega ruby nuzlocke i'm doing right now, the only way i got through that was with my double-teaming ninjask, just making her waste flame charge pp. My team was ass for that, mawile, grovyle, ninjask, Whismur, and mightyena

>>27455739
Get rid of the trip code fag.

Gyms 3-5 in Platinum always manage to fuck me over somehow in my nuzlockes. Fantina's Mismagius, Maylene's Lucario, and Crasher Wake's Floatzel.

Hell, I attempted to catch a Gible and ended up with Geodude self-destructing on my starter instead.

X/Y might be overall easy but some trainers can be real bitches if you don't have the right Pokemon to counter them.
I remember some guy with a moxie Scrafty almost wiping my team and a Battle girl in the reflection cave being hard.

>>27460739
lol git gud scrub

>>27460914
Nah, the fact that you have to fight them back to back with no chance to heal means that either you're going to have to switch someone on (and no guarantee you'll have someone to tank hits well in a nuzlocke, especially not to every eevee type at the time) or watch your starter get ground down.

I'll take healing items for 500

>>27461097
Stop playing like an idiot.
Use some items.
Decent coverage.

The odds are stacked in your favour there's no way you should be losing against them. Especially if your nuzlocke isn't a blind one because you know which order the Mon come out.

Didn't ruin my nuzlocke completely, but discouraged me to play for a while.
This little shit right here, this fucker called Sandshrew.
While training my Kirlia in my Egglocke I encountered one holding a Quick Claw, 5%; it activated, 30%; it got Magnitude 10, 5%; it got a crit, 6,25%; my Kirlia died. What are the fucking odds of that happening? Around 0.59%?

Ah ok, you don't actually play nuzlockes, that makes more sense. See, the thing is in a nuzlocke you won't always have good coverage, or someone who can take hits enough that healing items aren't just a turn to turn stalling tactic. Sure if the rng is kind you can get a good team and stomp them, but that just depends who you've caught and who's survived this far. If you've got a lopsided team then fighting them all in a row can be problematic to your lead.

Reflection fucking Cave in XY

fucking wild Wobbuffets

and those fuckers outside with the Kadabra/Machoke double battle

>>27461148
Sure, assuming you've got someone who can take the hits from all five types (okay four that matter) that healing items aren't just going to be a stalling effort. No guarantees of that in a nuzlocke. Two or three hopefully, but unless you've ended up with a really good line up chances are one of them is going to hurt you switching in, and I can't think of a lead who can deal with all of them without requiring that.

This shitmon saved my ass from Diantha and earned its status as bro. First Nuzlocke I've done, never made a bro this way.

>>27460666
I remember challenging myself in my nuzlocke to this battle as I knew that it was way too difficult. I prepared a strategy and all, but rng fucked me over and I lost all 6 pokemon (Fennekin, Bulbasaur, Butterfree, Flabebe, Bidoof, Doduo) I brought with me. I decided to continue with my only remaining pokemon, Litten, and I ended up actually winning the nuzlocke.
(I should mention that I had a self-imposed rule of using only 1 hp healing item + 1 status restoring item per battle)

>>27461285
You mean Litleo right?

>>27461293
Litleo yeah lmoa

Those workup + pickup using Lilipups in Striaton gym.

Went in unprepared in my White nuzlocke and got my ass royally handed to me. I actually laughed at how fucked I got.

>>27461209
>you don't actually play nuzlockes,
Wrong again. I'm just not as bad a player as you.
Its extremely unlikely to play a nuzlocke and not have pokemon compatible TMs of every move type unless you're playing one where the rules forbids them.
NPCs deal pitiful amounts of damage compared to you unless you're using a team pf babies so healing items will net you an adequate amount of turns to either set up or finish off their remaining pokemon.

You're pretty much the epitome of thinking harder and not smarter.
