Christ, Whitney is fucking annoying.

It didn't help that all of my team except Athena was Male, so Attract worked 60% of the time, every time.

Ace was definitely Agni, who had to take out all of them, with his 89 attack STAB Flame Wheel with Guts.

Too bad I couldn't use him for Miltank, as she kept hitting hard with Body Slam, and Rollout. I hope she'd stop, but alas she went for the 4th time in a row, killing a 100% Bootes. Fortune finished her off with Fake Out.
I placed Sekhmet back in the fray and trained her to level 30, her Electric/dark-type might save me against Morty.

It would probably have the same Location Met as the giftmon, so I'd say no.

Mega Mawile is a scary bitch. Match started easy enough, led with Beedrill, got Swagger'd by Klefki. Switched out for Rhydon, EQ took care of keys. Beedrill cleaned house with Poison Jab until Mawile showed up, switched out for Rhydon, he managed to get off an EQ and chipped away, but got knocked into the red. Switched out for Exeggutor, got brought down to 11 HP. Switched out for Starmie, took a hit and went into the yellow. Took a risk and used Thunder Wave, Mawile couldn't attack. Switched in Pangoro and finished the battle with Arm Thrust. What a terrifying gym.

>>27949173

Yeah, I need to update it too. Smoochum just died thanks to a lvl 14 Nosepass with Rock Throw. Good thing I had decided to level up before Brock...

Now I only got a Dustox, a Rattata and a Skitty. If I fast-forwarded my game it would be jsut some grinding, but without fast-forward, it is a grinding nightmare.

i'm bored, what game should i emulate and nuz?

>>27949293

That turned up well.

I had completely forgot that Omega gives Gym leaders six Pokémon. Never really stood a chance against a team of rock-types when my best Pokémon (Dustox with Confusion) also happened to be an easy target to Rock Tomb.

Guess it's back to normal playthrough of HG for me.

Started up a Randomized Platinum Nuzlocke earlier today. Pokemon, moves, and TMs are all randomized, so who knows what kinds of shenanigans I'll get into.

Here's everyone's moves, too:
Juke the Ninjask (starter)
>Crush Claw
>Force Palm
>Hydro Cannon
>Blast Burn

Sea Lion the Luxio (Lake Verity)
>Lock-On
>Cross Chop
>Water Gun
>Dive

Flibble the Machop (Route 202)
>Gust
>Scratch
>Splash
>Hydro Pump

Barry picked Probopass as his starter, and Dawn somehow got Chimchar (Ninjask was supposed to be Turtwig, so the randomizer is working as intended).

How would /nzg/ rate the DS titles in order for most fun/challenging to nuzlocke?
I've heard plat and BW2 challenge mode is good

>>27952516
Platinum/BW2
HGSS/BW
DP

>>27952565
ORAS/XY shit tier I take it?

>>27952584
XY is actually pretty challenging because of the dumb bullshit they throw at you at times, but the Gyms and E4 are a joke if you aren't adding any additional rules.

ORAS extremely easy.

>>27952516
I'd put it at Plat>BW2>BW>HGSS.

Platinum is one of the more challenging games to nuzlocke; gym leaders are probably the here on average.

BW and BW2 can be brutal in the early game; almost every Pokemon before the first gym in BW is Normal type, and that buffed Tackle is nothing to fuck around with. You also have little in the way of type diversity early on (less so in 2, but you won't have a Fighting type move unless you overlevel), so you need to brute force the first gym, which can suck if the leader spams Work Up too many times. It lightens up once your team thickens out.

HGSS's biggest flaw is the poor Pokemon diversity and the level scaling. You're better off with a smaller team if you don't feel like grinding forever and a day, but that can be dangerous in a Nuzlocke. It's still a fun game regardless.

>>27952584
If you want to talk 3DS games, I'd say that they're both low on the difficulty scale. I do love nuzlocking XY though since the Pokemon distribution is aces. But like >>27952613 says, it offers little in the way of challenge outside of particular areas, like the Furfrou trainers or the first half of Reflection Cave.

I'm of the minority on /vp/ that really enjoyed ORAS, but it's certainly easier than some other Pokemon games, what with how many powerful gifts it has. Pokemon distribution also takes a hit compared to XY until after Groudon/Kyogre, but that's to be expected in a remake.

>>27952878
How do I make X more challenging? I have a fresh copy I am yet to play. Was thinking:
>Battle type put to 'set' rather than 'shift'
>No healing items in battle
>Limit of 5 healing items in pack at a time (excludes berries)
>Limit of 5 status restore items in pack at a time
>Maaaaybe no mega evolutions
>Maybe wonder trade starter

Any other ideas?

After startling and getting jumped by three half naked, sunbathing, water trainers Rocky evolved in the middle of battle DESTROYING the two other chicks! (that was pretty fucking cool, Pokemon needs to add in-battle evolutions already)

I am currently thorn between leveling up the Cydaquil and Mareep or going for the 6th bade, what do you guys think?

Why do you have five Totodiles...

Hey guys, I've had an idea for a nuzlocke but I'm not too sure if it's already been made or not

So during a HG/SS run, after beating the elite 4, if you continue you have to start in Kanto with only your starter pokemon and all your other pokemon boxed

Just a little idea I had

>>27953185
How do you evolve Onix? Are you on an emulator?
Also is trade evo a nuzlocke thing?

>>27953259
I'm sure something like that exists.

>>27953259
What if your starter kicked the bucket? Do you just go with the next-best thing to an ace you have?

>>27953240

>>27953274
Liquid Crystal handles Trade evolutions in different ways.
Onix evolved when he reachend Max Happyness and was level 30+

>>27953302
Having your starter killed would be a game over, so you would kinda have to revolve your team around it

>>27953120
No EXP. Share

>>27953341
I'm not sure how I missed that.

Does the starter pokemon count as the first pokemon you see in the starting city, or can I still catch a pokemon in the town?

I say this because I'm doing a nuzlocke for White 2 there is a pond I can fish in Asperita City, which is where I chose my starter. Can I still get a new pokemon there?

>>27953380
You could easily make it "Only Bring 1 Pokemon"

>>27953380
Starter being game over is a personal rule anyway you dont have to follow it

black 2 run roll for starter
1-3 tepig
4-6 osha
7-9 smugleaf

Update!

I caught a Duskull on Route 218 with the Old Rod, and a Stunky on Route 204. I tried the Ravaged Path, but an Electabuzz that kept spamming Frenzy Plant put a stop to the good times. He took out Juke with a surprise Wing Attack, and killed Upchuck with a crit Frenzy Plant. In the end, I couldn't catch it and had to kill it.

Afterwards, I fought Barry (who had Skiploom and Probopass, nothing Limbo couldn't handle) and caught a Goldeen with some anger management issues on Route 203.

Thanks, im gonna try flora sky complete ver.
What is your opinion about that game?

>>27956451
Flora Sky contaminates Honnen with those disgusting gen. 4 and above Pokemon, I have no interest in it whatsoever, gen 3 designs where going slowly to shit for the most part anyways, so Emerald is as a much as I can handle.

I just lost my fucking new bro Scoliopede who I just taught Megahorn to by a fucking solosis using future sight at full health. I missed a mega horn, then got one, the axew came out had literally 1 hp and I got OHKO'ed from fucking future sight.

Then not even a fucking trainer later, they used psyshock on my replacement a Zebstrika at 2/3's health.

Now I'm fucked for the gym

I think I have a new least favorite Pokemon, because their fucking awful to train and just killed 2 Pokemon with a sliver of luck on their side

I need a fucking drink. I babied that thing on Audino's for like 2 hours it feels like from level 20 to 32

>>27956610

They are horrible to face in Nuzlockes.

Honestly, Nuzlockes change they way I play in-game. I carry moves like leer/screech and things like sand attack/smokescreen far more often for situations like that.

>>27956596
Is this BW or BW2?

If it's BW2, you'll definitely want some special coverage to take care of Skarmory, and even if it's not, you should get the Charge Beam TM if you don't already have it and give it to Gothorita. An Electric move, even a weak one, would be very helpful.

>>27956782
It's just BW1. I didn't think she could learn charge beam, that'll be helpful. I could try to learn heal block, is that worth cancelling out roost?

Emergency update, /nzg/, cause I fucked up.

I was trying to find places to grind Jasper, and Talc (my Machop) for my upcoming battle with Norman. I looked for places I hadn't fought before, like Cycling Road where each Trainer had either Magnemite or Voltorb to flll their parties, and they were all like meals for Talc. He grew from Lv15 to Lv20 by the end of it. Then, at the end of the Cycling Road, I realized I hadn't been back to the Trick House, and I went cause there had to be Trainers inside. I completed the second course, went back to check for a third, and lo and behold, there was. However, inside was a Hiker with a Geodude who used SelfDestruct on Talc and killed him. I got pissed, and thought "Well now my only Pokémon to take on Norman is Jasper." The Hiker sends out a Graveler, who also knew SelfDestruct and used it to kill Jasper as well. His last Pokémon was Nosepass, who Lapis Bubblebeam'd.

I've caught every Pokémon I can at this point, and none are strong against, or resist Normal Types. I know Norman's Gym is talked about being one of the hardest. I'm attaching a screenshot of Box1 to show you all what I have that may, or may not help me out.

>>27956871
Norman will fuck your shit up dude.

RIP

>>27956726
Seriously, sand attack/double team are a blessing in some nuzlockes.

What's a good GBA hack I could nuzlocke in that provides a nice challenge but isn't some bullshit that requires hours and hours of just grinding?

>>27956871
Dig is always somewhat helpful I guess

You're pretty boned dude

>>27956800
It'd definitely help out. Removing the ability for Skyla to pop a Hyper Potion would be great if you get in a tight spot.

Oh, and watch out for Swoobat. Acrobatics is very dangerous, so you'll want something that can take a hit. Perhaps your own Swanna with Aqua Ring? I don't know. It also knows Assurance, so I wouldn't lead with Gothorita if I were you.

>>27956871
Norman has little in the way of type coverage as far as I can remember. Only Normal and Dark moves, with a single Focus Punch. Crobat would be very useful as a fast Pokemon with decent bulk, and Gyarados would help immensely with Intimidate support.

What ROM hack should I start a nuzelocke on, any suggestions?

>>27956935
There was a "386 Emerald" if I remeber, with that being the name. Slightly higher level curve, but no bullshit. EX Roxanne has 3 Pokemon Geodude/Onix/Nosepass

Much more balanced

>>27956961
If it's your first cant go wrong with FRLG I guess

>>27956935
You know it, it starts with an L and ends with a L

>>27956871
Magikarp is your best bet. Have him evolve, switch him out after each intimidate. Camerupt I think is somewhat tanky so that would help a bit

You'll probably have a few Pokemon die during that battle, even with Intimidate support

>>27956871

Attached is the current state of my Pokémon Party. It seems like Intimidate is a big thing for going against Norman, so I believe I'm lucky when I can say I've got at least that. Other than that, though, I have no Fighting Type moves, or Pokémon, and nothing that resists Normal Types (Rock Types, or Steel Types). What should I change about the team, and what Lv should they all be around before I take on the Gym?

Starting up a Pokemon Victory Fire Nuzlocke, hope this goes better than my previous ones

>>27957339
Norman is in the upper 20s-lower 30s, so I'd get everyone to 29-30 before going for it. You can always level higher if you're not comfortable when you pass through the gym trainers.

Crobat has good utility with its speed, decent bulk, and Confuse Ray, so I'd personally work on adding it. If you want a second Intimidate user for extra Attack-lowering, Gyarados is a very safe choice.

As tempting as it would be to use Stun Spore with Topaz, DON'T. Facade will fuck you up. I'd put Crobat in its place; it has almost identical resistances and better stats/moves. You could always switch back later.

I don't know what else to do, but it's probably what I'd end up with if this were my game. As for overlapping types, I wouldn't worry about it until after the gym. You can make a more general team for the rest of the game when you're not in trouble anymore.

Beat Brock! I remembered Hypnosis + Sub Vulpix but Swagger Onix totally slipped my mind. The combination of Oddish + Poliwag was too good. Also, I swear he had a Lileep before so thankfully that never showed up.

Team update coming soon!

>>27957339
Perhaps teaching Azumarill Rock Smash might be a smart idea?
Alternatively, I think a good strategy for taking on Norman would be to spam Sand Attack on one of his weaker mons then Howl up to get stronger hits. Unfortunately, Slaking is stupid and has Counter so you should try attacking it on the Truant turns.

Grinding Marshtomp -> Swampert also sounds like a good idea.

iirc they have the same rate as a regular pokéball, but in some games if you use it in your birthday it functions as a masterball.
I used one to catch the Latios in BW/BW2 (can't remember which, was in the Dreamyard).

Guys i'm screwed.
So i'm playing a randomized Platinum, in Eterna Forest, when this double battle starts.
The Dragonair has Dragon Rage and Chester only has 50 total HP.
My current strategy is kill the Murkrow and PP stall Dragonair until it runs out Dragon Rage.
What attack should i use? Do you guys have any other ideas? All my Pokémon have lower HP.

>>27962934
You're gonna have to kill the Dragonair. Dragon Rage is too dangerous at those levels.

>>27962976
Now if you started with Turtwig you're a golden god. Torterra EQ and Luxray Crunch for days.

>>27962975
The problem is Murkrow has Pursuit, so if i try to kill the Dragonair and fail, it'll use Dragon Rage to bring me down to 10 and Murkrow finishes me off.
How buly are Murkrows? Would it survive a STAB Astonish, or a non-STAB Mega Drain? Chester has 31 attack and 37 special attack.
This boy is my starter, i really don't want to lose it.

>>27962995

I finally have some backup in the PC.
I thought the third gym would be easy after Roxanne and Brawly, but Wattson turned out to be more difficult than I expected. Reflect and Light Screen were a pain. If I hadn't switched out Leavanny when I did, his Flaafy's Power Gem and Manectric's Flame Burst might have killed him. Throughout it all, Marshtomp's health was being whittled away. Thankfully we made it out unscathed.

>>27962801
And demolished! I need something to buff out my team eventually though.

>>27963020
Well if that is the only two Pokemon that trainer has then kill the Murkrow, just be wary of crits. Its possible you might still lose Misdreavus though due to speed differences and priority moves.

If you have the potions to stall Dragonair then go for it, but, you might have to sacrifice someone to take Dragonair down. Killing Murkrow and stalling is your best bet though assuming you got the potions to last that long.

>>27963035
Ah I though you meant the second Pokemon you caught was Shinx. I'm sure you'll still get one at some point. Plenty of more routes with it on it.

>>27963020

I would personally use Astonish to try and make it flinch, as Astonish has a power of 30 and 45 with STAB, whereas Mega Drain only has 40.

>>27963078
Yeah, i'm going to do that. Just need to know which route should i take: Mega Drain or Astonish. Chester has higher Sp. Atk, but Astonish has STAB and could flinch if it doesn't manage to kill.

>>27963102

Use Astonish, anon. That's what I would do and I take full responsibility if your Pokeyman dies.

>>27963102
That is a tough call. STAB would probably be the better bet, but you may end up getting some HP back with Mega Drain and it does have slightly higher power.

Someone who knows those deep mechanics may be better to help, but I'd go with Astonish personally. I apologize in advance if it ends poorly.

>>27963099
>>27963078
Forgot to add, Chester is holding a Miracle Seed. Does that bring it over the edge? Or should i just go Astonish and pray?

Are there any rules against grinding/over leveling? My damn turtwig is level 10, and bidoof is level 3 lmoa. He has no health to battle, so I'm switching him out against wild encounters.

Starting Pokemon Emerald Randomized Nuzlocke. Wish me luck

>>27963162
There aren't any unless you have personal rules.

I mean you gotta level that Pokemon in some way and its better than back-tracking 10 miles back to the start.

>>27963162
The rules are whatever you want senpai. Personally, I grind a new team member up to 3 levels below the weakest Pokemon in my party.

>>27963207
I like this rule.

>>27963198
ty

>>27963160

Well, using Bulbapedia, that brings us to:

- Mega Drain: 48 damage.
- Astonish: 45 damage.

And Murkrow should have around the same Defense and Special Defense. Mega Drain would be your best bet to deal more damage, thanks to your Pokémon's Special Attack.

I would go with Mega Drain and pray, as Astonish is not a guaranteed flinch.

Is dragon rage the slayer of nuzlocke runs?

Anyone playing Uranium?

>>27963162

I lost my Fire Red Omega Nuzlocke because I didn't feel like levelling my team (two lvl 14 and one lvl 10) against Brock.

If I had levelled around level 18 for the three Pokémon, I could have won. So overlevel, definitely.

Similar Strength mostly just means similar levels. Dragon Rage is always deadly early on in the game. It doesn't really account for what Pokemon may learn naturally at lower levels.

Frillish synergy-wise, but Kirlia, Cloyster, and Crustle are also solid options.

Lost my Staraptor to the Ace Trainer Double Battle in Iron Island last night. Can be one of the most dangerous battles in a Platinum Nuzlocke run, in my opinion, seeing as speaking from my own personal experience, Riley's Lucario gets knocked out early 9 times out of 10, leaving you to get double teamed by nearly a full team of Pokemon as Sandstorm gradually chips away at your HP.

Place your bets faggots, this is the toughest Gym I've come across so far, barely managed to clear out the fighters without any deaths.

I'm back with my Randomized game. Rules:
>Randomized Power of moves
>Randomized Accuracy of moves
>Randomized type of Pokémon
>Randomized stats of Pokémon
>Pokémon evolve into random Pokémon and change types
>Catch first you see
>If you get an OHKO, you get the next one
>If a Pokemon faints off an OHKO, you can revive it

The reason deaths is off is because the game is hella broken, there is no way to even estimate what's coming at you.

I just barely made it to Pewter City alive...

Here's my team:
Huff the Psychic Hoppip
Ice Ball, 25PP, Power 50, Accuracy 100
Heat Wave, 20PP, Power 55, Accuracy 90
Reflect
Fury Cutter, 20PP, Power 65, Accuracy 95

Sense the Fire/Ice Ralts
Secret Power, 15PP
Milk Drink, 20PP

Itchy the Ground/Water Slakoth
Bubble, 20PP, Power 65, Accuracy 100
Perish Song, 35PP
Wing Attack, 25PP, Power 65, Accuracy 100

Pinki the Psychic Whismur
Leech Life, 15PP, Power 60, Accuracy 95
Confuse Ray, 25PP

Squiggle the Normal Spinarak
Flamethrower, 20PP, Power 75, Accuracy 100
Double Kick, 15PP, Power 40, Accuracy 100

>Double Battle against Shelly and Grunt
Jeez, I almost had a lot of deaths on my hands. That Muk and Hellicent were tough sons of bitches.

Do you fast-forward your games, guys? I feel like Nuzlocke is much more valuable when you train the traditional, tedious way.

It makes losing Pokémon that much more painful, not to mention losing the run, when you trained them for hours instead of minutes.

>>27978166
>still gif

It's pretty stressful, but it's a new feeling. I haven't reached the point where I can start evolving, but I have an example of an evolution line from a previous rando that I quit because it was TOO randomized.

Taillow-->Bulbasaur-->Flaaffy-->Anorith-->Seviper
Poliwag-->Flaaffy
Teddiursa-->Beldum-->Anorith

Lots of branches converge.

>>27978614
How do you get that level of randomization? Do you use a specific program?

>>27978546
Sounds like an extreme waste of time desutbh famalam

>>27978732

I don't think so. It's easy to grind when you kill five Pokémons in under a minute, you rack up the levels fairly quickly and thus the gym leaders pose less much of a challenge.

>>27978855
Only if you overgrind and the only way you over grind is if you aren't paying attention

>>27978855
Or you could show some god damn self control and not overlevel not that hard desu famtachi

>>27978906
>>27978950

Well, I just did a small test.

In Viridian Forest, it took me two minutes to go from a level 11 Mareep to a level 15 Flaaffy. At normal speed, in two minutes I hadn't even got to level 12 yet.

>Not trying to grind the necessary levels between Erika's level 37 Ace and Koga's level 50 ace against at best a trainer with a single level 38 Cacturne

>>27979290
What is you point here? It seems like you're trying to say the turbo function is bad because you fight so many mons so fast you overlevel, but if you just watch what level your mon is at you wont overlevel unless you're retarded

>>27979469

My point is that you level up so fast that you may as well go the extra mile (read: two or three levels) to ensure they won't die an awful death.

Moreover, it makes the game much easier when getting to 15 is accomplished in two minutes, but done the traditional way takes much longer and you usually call it a day at level 13 or 14.

My current Fire Red Omega team. Third Nuzlocke attempt at this game, first time I started over after losing my initial fight, second time I lost against Brock's team of six Pokémon, which included Geodudes that knew Rock Tomb, while I had only three Pokémon (two lvl 14, one lvl 10) and my best one was a Dustox that knew Confusion.

This time I will definitely go better prepared, around level 17 for all my mons. Luckily Elekid knows Karate Chop, but I've yet to see how useful that is. Oh, and I played in Set mode.

What's the best way to grind on pre-Gen VI hacks?

>>27980413
*runs, not hacks

>>27979531
>might as well go the extra mile and over grind
Yeah, but that ruins the dificulty. It's not like you have to battle every single wild mon you see.

Your point still isn't very clear.

>>27980790
He's trying to tell everyone how much better than us he is because he doesn't use the speed boost

>>27980790

>Your point still isn't very clear.

I'll make it easier to understand: by using the speed boost you are not only reducing the bond you have with your Pokémon (because I would hardly care about losing a Flaaffy I levelled up in 2 minutes compared to one that took me 30), but you are also making the game easier.

>>27980930

Nope, read above.

>>27981024
How does going faster and not making it take forever easier? You are still grinding to the same level either way so that doesn't really make sense.

As for not having as much of a bond that also is bull.

Some of my best mons I will always remember cause they were that helpful, sped up or not.

>>27981087

Because the faster the training, the less chances you have of giving up half-way through it.

>As for not having as much of a bond that also is bull.

It isn't. Unless you are some kind of weird person, I guarantee you will feel more attached to a Pokémon the more time you spend with it.

>>27981519
Why would you give up in the first place? That's a ridiculous argument.

And you do realize you are sounding more and more autistic right?

>>27981564

>Why would you give up in the first place? That's a ridiculous argument.

Because you get tired?

Why do you speed up training in the first place?

>And you do realize you are sounding more and more autistic right?

The idea of only catching the first Pokémon you see in any route/cave/place in a game which motto's is "Gotta catch them all!", giving them names, and releasing them upon fainting pretending they died (which is BS, otherwise we would all be murderers in Pokémon), sounds pretty autistic to me.

All I said is that playing without speed boosts make the Nuzlocke objectively more gratifying, because it is hard work to train Pokémon like every single console gamer has ever had to do it: the legitimate way, where if you really wanted to get stronger, you wouldn't do it in 2 minutes.

>>27981623
kek

>>27981659
He's actually right though. I can't believe this board is infested with faggots who fast forward through half the game and complain about which pokemon they get. The point of a nuzlocke is to become bros with your precious few pokemon and instead its just turned into

>omg i caught a bidoof fuck this shit gonna restart not playing with that fucking trash

Defeats the whole purpose of a nuzlocke. You may as well just give yourself 6 pokemon and play with the ones you want instead of bitching.

>>27981872
Nigga, that's because of all the new leakfags. I will use any mon I get to win, that has nothing to do with speeding up or not.

>>27981872

Yeah, that's my point. I don't like having two fucking birds and two electric Pokémon against Brock, but that feeling of dread slowly disappears as I become bros with my mon, and then starts the feel of "I don't want my hard work to go to shit", something that just wouldn't be there if I fast-forwarded my way through training.

Autism

I just personally think that speeding up is fine. When my mons die, I want to be sad because of their potential or what they did for me, not because of how much time I wasted on them. It feels less like losing a friend and more like a wasted investment of time. If that's how you play that's fine, but I don't think people should be attacked over turbogrinding unless they overlevel a bunch like pussies.

I wanted to figure out how evolution works in my randomized run, so I plotted out the Eevee family. I figured I'd share this with you.

Note, Espeon and Vaporeon do not evolve/have priors.

Arrows point towards the final evolution.

>>27982713
Eevee is the base evolution, the tree starts at the bottom-center.

>>27983085
They change types with each evolution too. You get Ivysaur as one type or a dual, then when it hits 18 it changes type, then at 19 it evolves and changes again and so on

I had my first evolution! Psychic Hoppip evolved into Psychic/Electric Alakazam!
