One anon asked in the last thread if anyone had ever had a mon learn Self-Destruct or an equivalent move, for what purpose, and how we lived with ourselves afterwards.

Personally I never bothered to, for one simple reason: you are basically limiting yourself to only three moves for a move that you will only use ONCE (IF you even get to use it at the right moment and the right time).

If I had it on a Pokémon, though, it would obviously be a very last resort move, probably to be used during the Elite Four.

I always forget to remap the moves on my Pokémon, it's such a hassle that I sometimes forget how I'm even able to breath.

I get the appeal of a randomnized game if you are playing normally, but not under the Nuzlocke rules. Especially if you are like me and don't fast forward through training, and end up hitting a wall of impossible trainers to beat.

i'm just starting a bw2 nuzlocke run.

my rules are:
only able to catch the first pokemon you encounter on each route;
faded pokemon cannot be used in battle anymore;
battlestyle follow;
no pokemoncenters;
no legendaries/mythics;

and am thinking about:
no held items;
no recover moves;
no shops;

what do you guys think? the rules i'm not so sure on would be pretty good at stopping me from mindlessly grindming my pokemon until they are overleveled
also i'm not a fan of any of the starters so i will probably box that

they would prevent me from grinding since i cannot use pokecenters, buy no additional potions and can't use recovery moves. but your gym leaders strongest rule sounds way better. i'll be using that.
>>28624037
i'm too autistic for such a soft rule. i mean how do you define grinding? what if you forgot something and have to go back encountering additional pokemon? do you always have to use the very shortest way through the grass? do you skip skippable trainers?

i modified my rules to this. should be good now:

only able to catch the first pokemon you encounter on each route;
faded pokemon cannot be used in battle anymore;
battlestyle follow;
no pokemoncenters;
no legendaries/mythics;
no items in battle;
no held items;
no pokemon higher than the strongest pokemon of the next gyms leader(bw2:13,18,24,30,33,39,48,51,59);

>>28624687
wait, are you able to catch pokemon on areas which aren't even called route? what is the consensus on this?

I'm hopeful for the next leg of the run after finding a Trapinch. What sucks is I'd rather have two other team members over Pikachu and Skitty for my reserves. I don't feel like sending them to their death, so they're always warming the box.
Also, fuck Swagger. I almost lost a second Pokemon against Archie because of horrible luck. I would have if I had a rule against using healing items in battle.

Scarlet and Bruce will be missed. Bruce was a solid fighter and luck was on his side with Poison Fang, and Scarlet had great potential (I even had a Shiny Stone handy for after learning Giga Drain).
My odds against Winona seem decent. Schultz is a powerhouse with Volt Switch and Discharge, and Arthur has Rock Slide. Hopefully nothing bad happens on the way to Fortree.

First time doing a nuzlocke through Black 2 and holy shit, I didn't realize how difficult this was going to be.

Grinding before Elesa and my team is:
Dewott Lv 31
Darumaka Lv 30
Yamask Lv 30

In the box:
Purrloin, Sewaddle, Azurill, Magby, Cottonee, Trubbish, Mincinno, Pansear.

How much more should I grind my team before taking on Elesa? Thinking I should at least evolve Darumaka into Darmanitan.
>>
>>28627666
If you have boxed mons why are you only using a team of 3? One of the best points of a nuzlocke is using mons that would normally don't, Trubbish, minchinno and purrlion don't have any over lapping types with your team

I like to randomize literally everything BESIDES the Pokemon themselves (abilities, moves, BST). That just takes away from the game imo.

Doing a grand tour nuzlocke through each gen, no remakes or hacks. Dupes carry over to keep each game fresh.

Crystal has been punishing so far, 5th attempt, killed two potential captures on routes 46 and 31 because of crits. Currently going through Sprout Tower, since it's dangerous territory for Ealhswith, Alfred is going to end up over-levelled.

random abilities are fun, makes for some interesting pokemon combos. randomizing stats is fine too because it still uses the base number for each pokemon so its not like its making magikarp overpowered and salamence shit

randomizing trainers and seeing brock using a full team of eletric pokemon for example takes away from the game more, imo

i dont randomize movesets or types because it gets too random to keep up though

I randomized straters, wild encounters and gift pokemon. But if you want to make it more challenging you can randomize the trainer pokemon also. It's the first time I play B&W and wanna defeat the real gym leaders team
>>
>>28632520
Yeah I like the surprise. I randomized all encounters, wild, stationary Pokemon, starters, trainer Pokemon. I updated stats and moves to gen 6. I also randomized items, held items, TMs and abilities for shits and giggles. I remember a Red Randomizer Run where I encountered a random Card Key somewhere, good stuff.

Finally I also made impossible evolutions possible. Random moves, types and all that are a bit too much, but is maybe fun for the future. I think this is the perfect balance of craziness and traditionality (if that's a word) for me.

Let's start the game, very curious to see what my starter picks are.

My trainer is called BOAMI. My Forretress is called Hausu, barring some weird shit that could happen, I think he is bound to survive for a looong time. Bulky as fuck.

Forgot how much White held your hand in the beginning of the game, pretty annoying. Bianca and Cheren wanted to do a catching competition, but little did they know that I could only catch one Pokemon max per route. Luckily the encounter was a Marowak, which I caught with one bal.. After fixing the No XP getting piracy protection we are now ready to roll.

My biggest enemy up until now are the gigantic lag spikes.

Anyways, just noticed that my Marowak noticed that he's in a Nuzlocke. His ability is brilliant.

So I did all a nuzlocke of all the mainline gsmes already. I kind of wanna do a nuzlocke of s romhack with a new region. I would prefer no fakemon since that shit takes me out of the mood immediately.

Lopunny is called Trap, because I don't believe that it's male, I think it lied on it's passport. It's got Mold Breaker though.

Random fun facts:

N is a Male Swimmer in this game and his shouldermon is a Pichu, go figure. There are also random Protector's lying around on the second route.

Batty swept out Primeape, Heracross and Brelloom with ease, only taking a thunderpunch.

Sably took out Medicham with a crit Shadow Claw and Mimey killed Machamp after using two barriers and two psychics.

Torky is the mvp though, he took a sword danced Lucario's drain punch and it didn't even take 1/4th of his health. His flamethrower burned Lucario as well. Great addition to the team.

For Crasher I'm thinking about switching Geoy out for Jolteon. What do you guys think?

Randomize as much as possible, while still keeping it fun for yourself. So I'd say, only keep things that are hard-wired in your mind the same, like move properties. If you don't want it to be too random, keep Pokemon types, moves learned etc. the same.

After the devastating losses to Sabrina's Alakazam, I finally finished grinding up some new squad members. The girl squad is broken with the addition of a couple new male teammates, but they're strong as shit.

Leaving the last spot open for an encounter later on, grinding up two mons from sub 20 to 43 was enough. I know the Anons who suggested Meowth twice will probably lop my head off, but I'm trying to achieve the most variety possible, hoping for a fire type in the Cinnabar Mansion.

Playing through a randomized Crystal, here's the current squad:

Falkner was a pushover, had a Cyndaquil and Swinub which Illuminati swept easily. I'm also playing with a 20% increase to trainer levels since gen 2 level curve is atrocious.

Caught a Doduo in Dark Cave which I'm gonna add as my flyer unless I find something better before the gift egg I got from Elm hatches (currently occupying 6th team slot). Things are looking good so far, onwards to Azalea tonight!

Elesa's gym was Flying type, her mons were Swellow, Skiploom, and Gyarados. Swellow could have potentially been annoying with its fast Double Team bs, but I managed to be lucky and not miss vs it. Helm was in the lead, but I had switched to Carne vs Swellow already, so when Gyarados came out I could just outspeed and one-shot, same goes for her Skiploom.

Things went well after Fuschia, easily made it through Cinnabar and Blaine without any casualties, but that's what happens when you have a Blastoise. I totally forgot about Bill accosting you to Sevii around this point in the game, so hopefully there's some good captures on the way. I want something great to fill my sixth slot, and have to start thinking about the league. Unfortunately my encounter in Cinnabar Mansion was a Rattata, so no go there. Doreen may be a decent choice since it can learn STAB Psychic and is bulky, though mine is Adamant. Here's hoping for something good on the Sevii Islands.

Clay's team was Drilbur, Marowak, and Nidoking. Nidoking sounds p dangerous until you realize it doesn't learn a good STAB move until level 43 because of how Stone evolutions work, so it basically had to work off Focus Energy and Chip Away vs Roman, which obviously wasn't enough to take down an Eviolite Palpitoad with Mud Shot and Muddy Water. The other two went down easily too, this could've been a lot worse than it turned out.

Hey anons, so far I'm in the process of my most successful random nuzlocke so far (emerald), just beat Wattson. Breloom has been a house so far and even though nidorino doesn't have many good STAB options he has been solid as well. Kabuto, growlithe, and growth are recent additions that I am training up atm.

Quick question though; can I go back and change anything that I forgot about in the randomizer? I wanted to update moves to their gen 6 stats (taught Breloom bullet seed forgetting it was not physical in Gen III), but forgot to tick that box.

Bad news guys, Meloetta wasn't really a problem, but Regice, damn. I had literally nothing I could do to it, standing there with two glass cannons Zoroark and Lopunny. I kind of had a feeling what was coming, but I was not sure what I wanted to do. And then it happened.

Regice used EXPLOSION!

ALLAHU AKHBAR!!!!!

Meloetta tanked the hit like a pro. I quickly put Hausu the Forretress in who had no problem taking it. Then it happened, Edgerini the Zoroark got hit, and....


It did literally nothing. If you like bad news, this is bad news. Since Edgerini only lost 16 hp. Regice had shit attack and that helped me a lot. But I still felt very unsafe.
>>
>>28640584
Yeah that is pretty bad if, even with Ice's poor attack stat, your zoroark basically lost half of its health. If it was a stronger pokemon, zoroark might not have been so lucky.

Yeah I've been so freaking lucky so far. The other guy who recommended me to play White didn't come that far, but I have a full team now, with a Mankey named Makaak caught on Route 3. Let's see how long my luck will hold on. I do not really have a good type coverage at this point though. The Mankey is Modest with Forewarn as an ability, so she will be the first to be sacrificed if the need is that high. She survived a crit Tackle from a Marshtomp with 3 hp left so she has a lucky charm as well.

I survived it, barely. But only because of Esteban sacrificing his Skiploom and Venipede. I had to use 4 or 5 Pokemon and switch them out accordingly. Lugia was using Weather Ball and Gust and Zekrom was spamming Thunder Fang. Thunder Fang missed twice, which gave me that space to have enough HP to even not die with a critical hit. Got a crit myself with Edgerini's pursuit on Lugia, which probably saved me, since they had super effective moves on 3 of my Pokemon.

My for some reason, eternal luck in this game keeps on going, still with a full team. Curious for our Wellspring Cave encounter now.

So, random question to everyone nuzlocking here

Which pokemon you never used before and just did because of nuzlockes surprised you? Not just by being a total bro but by saving your ass countless times?

Gotta say, always thought Nidoqueen was poor man's Nidoking and passed her up, but damn she's sturdy as hell. And not too shaby thunderbolting and surfing people that she can't bodyslam into oblivion either.

I encountered a lot of these in my Y nuzlocke. Primarily Florges and Hippowdon. I never knew how fucking special and physically tanky they are respectively. With both on my team at one time, I was pretty much unstoppable on switch-ins.

>>28642123
Kecleon for me. I always considered it a gimmicky trashmon, but on my last OR Nuzlocke I had a Color-Change Kec who practically solo'd the E4 on her own with Power-Up Punch and Sucker Punch. She died to Steven's Aggron, but I've definitely got a newfound appreciation for Kecleon.

You wouldn't expect much from a regional rodent but Linoone brings a whole lot to the table. I don't recommend using him after a 5th gym tho, he'll start falling in power afterwards and'll eventually meet an untimely death.

>>28644263
Movesets learned by level up, stat distribution, and typing is all normal. Blake learned Crabhammer through TM cuz I did randomize those & compatibility (where STAB moves are set to often be compatible and other moves less so). I try striking a balance in this run between surprises (so random abilities, encounters, and trainer Pokemon) and playability, since too much randomization tends to make the game nigh unplayable (see: the anon in this thread who encounters random legendaries all the time).

But yeah, Huge Power STAB Crabhammer. Kinda fucking rocks.

Well it ain't pretty, but I made a graphic for my current Alpha Sapphire Nuzlocke.

Doing decent so far, only one death to a crit Incinerate while trying to switch-train one of my weaker mons. That was just a rough battle in general, because my starter was at level cap and I didn't want to risk her going over before the gym.

Huge power Marill get, though, with a +ATK nature, so I'm feeling fine about Flannery.

Whew so a lot happened in a few routes.

I remembered that I could catch another mon north of Viridian on Route 2, right before Viridian Forest. There, I caught a Natu.

My Route 22 encounter was a Totodile, which unfortunately has a low catch rate due to being a starter mon. I was unable to catch even when it was paralyzed and at red health.

My rival rocked with a Celebi, which my Natu put in the finest of work on it, and then he sent out a Chinchou, which my Marill dealt with easily.

Now I enter Viridian Forest and caught a Ninjask, which I named her Oyumi. I didn't really see her being useful at the moment so I boxed her for now. Also, as soon as I caught Shedinja I run into a wild Rayquaza, which I'm kinda glad it wasn't my first encounter.

I'm now going to work my way through the forest and up to Brock.

I haven't updated in a while but my run is still going, albeit slowly because of uni. Triton scarf EQ'd surge's gym (his electrode still outspeeded but got KO'd trying to spam double team on me)

Janine was always a joke, used specs surf Saico-Tek to OHKO the first 3, taking a giga drain from venomoth who outsped, and then switched to Swampert on a thunder wave to scarf EQ and OHKO the remainder of her team.

I'm scared for Sabrina (because fuck psychic) and Erika (because half my team is water).
I miss Drapion but I have high hopes for Snorlax. Booster Gold the Electivire was doing well but he isn't helping much until maybe Viridian city. Glad to have a good reserve ready though.

Do what, a randomized nuzlocke? Or Screen capture?

I really like your layout anon. Are the Gym Leaders randomized? If not I think you'll be fine with Mad Maud and Waller running through Erika

you didn't see that

doing a white 2 nuzlocke, it's different since it's my first one, but it's been a nice experience so far. thinking about doing a randomizer nuzlocke afterward, seems like fun from what i've seen.

furfrou carried me through X with cotton guard and silk scarf boosted return

I got a question about the rules. I'm doing my first nuzlocke, and I want to know if it's okay to box a mon on my team for a better one? Or can you only change party members when one dies?

Made it through the forest, got the Boulder Badge, and killed my encounter on Route 3.

Kinda scared because my Azumarill almost died to Brock's fucking Groudon.

I did get a Totodile though from the fisherman next to Mt. Moon. I'll box it for now.

Tomorrow I'll get my Mt. Moon encounter and proceed to Cerulean City. Have a goodnight everyone!

Hey all, finally got around to building an image for my current emerald nuzlocke. It's been a fun run so far, and I'm feeling pretty damn good about the team atm. We just arrived in Fallarbor Town after training up the newer catches Taco and Rocket. I'm super stoked to have a Growlithe, just hoping I can find a fire stone somewhere. I've never actually used Persian so we'll see how that goes!

Any advice you guys have? Any guys from the box you recommend I use? This is the furthest I've ever been in a nuzlocke so I wanna make this THE run.

What the fuck are you actually doing you moron.
>>
>>28644407
Yeah I think I'm the one you're talking about. The Lugia and Zekrom battle was one of the most challenging in-game battles I had ever encountered though. Good fun.

For the rest I think I have exactly the same settings as you have. Gonna continue in a few minutes I think.

The fun keeps on going, this trainer had two Giratina lvl. 12. I had no clue they packed AncientPower. A crit of that caused my first casualty. The Vullaby I got in the Dreamyard, named Vulturura couldn't tank the hit and fell down in pain. There was no time for us to mourn our loss, since a second Giratina was already on the field.

Golovkin got revenge for our fallen hero and Pursuited the Giratina until he hit it critically. The monsters went down and Fisher Chloe, unsuspecting made a lame pun about him losing (it actually was a guy)

We need to move forward now, Panshit will enter our team as filler until we get our next encounter.
