/nzg/ - nuzlocke general

>>30168239
Each island is diviided by blocks in the Rotom Map
Each block has several named areas of interest

That's how i'm considering them.

The pinwheel clause was ruined by the new patches of grass containing varying Pokemon.

>>30176925
>The pinwheel clause
what's that?

What monotype runs are viable in gen7 so far?

>>30177222
Ghost

>>30177070
The premise of areas being considered as different routes if they have different catch lists, such as the pinwheel forests' exterior and interior.

>>30177488
ah i see

well its not really necessary in SM if you just go by named areas

>>30177222
I did a fairy one in my first playthrough.

>>30177556
Yeah, thus killing the clause because these routes contain different catch lists based on the grass patches.
But really, the clause wasn't needed this gen anyways.

>>30177588
how did you get enough fairies to build a team in the early game?

>>30177671
There are seven fairy types in MeleMele alone counting with Popplio.

What are some good YT Sun/Moon nuzlockes to watch? Bored shitless at work

Welp this is embarassing

This run was full of dumb mistakes (like accidentaly letting Totodile get to lvl10, losing my kakuna for not paying attention, etcetera

Good riddance

last try bumpo

guess vp doesnt care about nuzlockes anymore. resistance is futile

>started a blind Sun nuzlocke
>came here yesterday
>/nzg/ didn't even exist

How could you let that HAPPEN guys.

Anyway just did the water trial. Is it me or does this game have a huge amount of separate routes? Like do you guys count route 1 as a different route from the bit on route 1 where Kukui's lab is located?

>>30180381
i'm trying my best mango, but the threads sink faster than dhelmise

about the routes, do you know the map blocks every island have when you see the map in the rotom dex? some of them are still the same route to the game, but they are separate areas (like route 1 and route 1 ha'oli outskirts) and they have separate subareas named too. that's how i do it

>>30180381
If it shows youre in a different location according to the map, then I count it as a new location.
Also, if your pokemon fainted in the battle royal, did you guys count that?

>>30180433
Yeah that's what I mean. So you do count them as separate routes to catch shit on? I mean I do and I'm sitting on damn huge amount of reserve pokemon right now. Another curious case are the trials where you don't get to catch anything before it's over and technically you encounter your first pokemon there during that time but given that you can't catch it I feel that it shouldn't count because it's no different from that period in some games between getting your starter and getting access to poke balls.

>>30180510
>but given that you can't catch it I feel that it shouldn't count because it's no different from that period in some games between getting your starter and getting access to poke balls.

It's the same situation really
The first catch only is supposed to punish you if you goof up and let the pokemon escape/faint. That doesnt happen when you cant even catch it.

Alrighty, so. I just finished the first trial. I grinded a bit at the Meadow in vain hope I would get a shiny Cutiefly. sadly no. I guess I can wait until the third island to try and catch a Ribombee...

I would have had a full team FAR earlier, but these Multiplying Wild Encounters are quite intense. it's like EVERY battle is a Trainer battle.

Sorry for your loss anon

>>30181643
TY found one

I'm playing Sun, I beat the Totem Gumshoos last night.

I started with Litten, and have Trumbeak, Alola Diglett, Misdreavus, Makuhita, and Alola Meowth. Deathless so far, but I have a Wingull the box. I'm waiting for the game to start fucking me over big time, though.

Getting good first encounters is hard and I've barely encountered any new Pokemon so far. There have been a load of close calls, but I have the exp share on and I'm not going fully blind.

Litten is pretty decent, while Alola Meowth with Technician has been great but won't have long term utility with a hopeful Incineroar in the wings.

I've not used Diglett really yet. I literally can't grind effectively. He has a Brave nature, which isn't great, so if I get a better Ground type soon I might ditch him. Using Alola forms just isn't the same as actually using new Pokemon.

Also I think Pikipek is guaranteed on Route 1's first part, like XY's Pidgey. You can probably skip it if you want, but I didn't.

>>30184036
alolan diglett/dugtrio become a beast later on the game
enough power and one of the few new mons that have speed to back it up

Any active runs rn?

>>30185932
you mean stream?

Came back to a Platinum nuzlocke after a little bit. Tore through Wake and I finally got to Iron Island where I can train with relative ease. I'll probably grind up to 42 or so before going for more story stuff. No deaths so far, but I really don't like grinding and want to get it out of the way. Team is

>Terra - Torterra
>Carolina - Luxray
>Sarah - Gardevoir
>Ellen - Gabite
>Carly - Staraptor
I have a Ponyta in the box, but I'm content with the party I have now. Candice will probably tear me a new one, though.

>>30186135
Speaking of, Team Four Star has been streaming a Moon nuzlocke and I'm really enjoying it but holy fuck their stupidity triggers me. They are hopeless when Grant isn't there.

>>30186221
>I'm really enjoying it but holy fuck their stupidity triggers me.

I'm more triggered about how easy mode they are while still pretending to be tuff boyz

leaving xp share on, abusing refresh to get bonuses, spamming items like no tommorow capturing multiple pokemon in routes because their division is very arbitrary, etcetera

projared is also a retard doing nuzlockes but at least he stick to the rules and dont use items during battle. the only reason TFS beaten Ilima and the teacher was due to spamming potions nonstop

>>30186266
To be fair, if they took XP share off, they'd take forever to get shit done.

>Catching Multiple Pokemon in routes
Have they actually done that or are people getting upset that the Routes are much bigger than before and aren't divided up for traditional nuzlockes?

I don't think they're pretending to be tough, they know damn well that they're getting their asses handed to them. Someone is definitely dying next week if Grant isn't there.

>>30186448
>Have they actually done that
caught slowpoke and magnemite in the same route, after already capturing a pikipek

they already had done the "route 01"~"route 01 haoli outskirts" separation which is normal but then in the school captured another pokemon and in the city they captured yet another

even by stretching the definition of routes to blocks you would have 3 pokemon most by that point

ORAS or XY? Gotta nyzlocke something before SUMo

>>30184385

Or a wild Spinda could Copycat Magnitude 9. Fucking hell.

So it begins.

Oh hey, we have one of these again.

I'm the idiot who keeps trying for a generational Nuzlocke run from Gen III to now VII, I guess. I like the idea, but is a Nuzlocke of Sun on its own also worth doing?

>>30177597
so?

>>30188125
Do the generational one, will make you appreciate Sun even more when you get there.

>>30188125

Only if you're not bothered about using the new Pokemon. Most of them have low encounter rates.

It's been ages since we've had one of these, and I took a bit of a sabbatical because in my last run I got to Juan before his goddamn Kingdra decided to spam Double Team to high heaven and I couldn't stall, so there was that.

This is a bit...far in, hence. Who says negative natures can't be made to work? Gonna try for a Wingull or Carvanha for Winona, I guess.

Does anyone want my Marowak? He just died and I cant bare to wondertrade him like the others.

Doing a fairly standard nuzlocke of Y except:
Pokeballs only, allowed to attempt to catch legendaries in poke balls.
One buy at each shop.
One re-capture attempt before each gym, only on a route where I've failed a capture. I may just limit this to one total.
No Starter.

8 Impish Psyduck "Brelda"

Vivillon killed Dulfbert with a stupid infestation, I couldn't swap him out...
Theresa gained 3 levels for finishing Dulfbert's fight.

These threads make no sense.
It's just the same people posting their frankly boring runs and then some fag comes in with their embarrassing nicknames.
If the thread does, let it stay dead. And instead of these threads places for attention whores to post their updates make it more about discussing challenge runs as a whole. It's redundant right now and I see no reason why they keep being reposted.

>>30192358
>posting about your own runs is attention whoring

Stop being retarded. If you want to discuss challenges, be free to do so. People always do that here. Posting your own run as a log for others to keep up is fun, i enjoy reading other tales of nuzlocking and how they compare to my own. take that stick out of your ass.

>>30191858
They did so the school, but they asked chat if it was ok, and the vast majority said yes. They'll probably be relying on chat since they're doing a blind run.

>>30192645
>relying on the chat

That's the weakest excuse. The chat will give them infinite chances if they get wiped, will let them break any rule if it means not finishing the stream early, and probably will bother them to use every legendary. You don't follow the chat when you do shit like that, at most you ask for names.

>>30191933

My initial purpose of the map was just dividing the map the way the pokedex shows it, which is in 45 areas.
I added the caves because one anon asked me to, and I know that many play their nuzlockes having caves be their own separate thing.

Serebii already divides the region in areas with encounters in general which end up being about 79 areas:

Okay so, since they kinda make sense together, I'm doing a Survival Team Rocket run of Sun.
The only rules are:
1. BANNED from all pokemon centers, the Nurse is not fond of people who abuse pokemon and will not serve you or allow the vendors to serve you.
2.a. Not entirely welcome at the supermarket, but if you change your clothes and go in at night, one of the cashiers will buy your illicit goods from his own pocket. None of them will ever agree to sell to you though.

2. We have an image to uphold. You are only allowed to use certified Team Rocket Approved! pokemon. Your starter will be taken and you will recieve a Zubat and Meowth in return. You can catch more pokemon, but if they are not Team Rocket Approved! pokemon then they will be taken from your PC boxes by Team Rocket for sale.
You will also be required to dress in black, and wear a Team Rocket style cap or close approximation. Thankfully the clothing stores will still accept Team Rocket patronage.

3. Take advantage of everyone and everything!
Many people will be willing to help you for some reason, even though you're obviously a member of Team Rocket. Some people are oblivious, so take advantage!
This applies to pokemon too, Meowth will work hard at picking up items in the hopes of getting attention from you, these can be used to keep your pokemon alive.

Win condition: Send 100 pokemon above level 30 to Team Rocket for sale. Simply release them or box them in "Team Rocket" boxes, whatever you prefer.
Sending a "new" (at time of game release) pokemon counts as 2.
Sending a Legendary pokemon counts as 10.
Team Rocket pokemon do not count (Zubat, Meowth, any other pokemon seen in use by a team rocket member) unless they are above level 40 and holding a nugget.

Lose conditions:
Beating the pokemon league BEFORE finishing your task. This draws too much attention to your activities.
Losing a battle. You would be shamed out of Team Rocket, so rather than return you hide away in a small village.

The true MVP for the fight. I also lost my first catch (Altair the Trumbeak) because I used him against a Shellder. I used Brick Break but only later would I recall Shellder only gets the Ice typing when it evolves. Sheldder tanked the hit and proceeded to Skill link Icicle Spear Altair to death. That was pretty gay of me

That was fucking close. I don't want to lose my only Water type minus a lame Poliwag that I had hoped would be a Dewpider. I'm literally not getting any of the new Bugs at all, it sucks.

While I'm using the Exp Share, I don't feel that underlevelled and I've only lost Diglett so far. Cottonee made the Totem Wishiwashi a joke, anyway. It only summoned another Wishiwashi rather than Alomomola, so I knew to keep that alive.

Team is Torracat, Misdreavus, Makuhita, Wishiwashi, Trumbeak, and Cottonee.

>>30207559

Well, not using Exp Share ALL the time, but a fair bit of it so far.

>>30207559
>While I'm using the Exp Share
Get out

But seriously. Once in a while, maybe its fine, but exp share kills the entire challenge of nuzlockes. No tension of grinding weak mon and risking losing them because you can just let them sit in the back forever. Also all the extra xp you dont deserve.

>>30207655

But I switch grind anyway. And have done dozens of Nuzlockes.

I don't use it all the tim, but honestly I've had runs with Exp Share in XY and ORAS with more deaths than without in those same games. But I'm probably gonna turn it off for now.

I've had more close calls than anything else. That Tauros in the Ranch nearly got me. So did the Teacher's Meowth.

>>30207655
Not that anon but It's stupid though, if you could at least limit the xp share to one pokemon or if the 3ds had a speed up button right now I'd be okay with not using it but do I really want to spend six times as much time on grinding? Yeah I'm currently holding back and turned off the share to level up some weak mons because some in my team are already too high but not using it at all? Eeeeeehhhhh.

>>30207718
>honestly I've had runs with Exp Share in XY with more deaths than without in those same games

Sorry for the honesty but you're probably pretty bad then. XY is a joke, XY with exp share on basically plays itself.

>>30207768

It was only three deaths though. I've also gotten better since then. I have a running trend of having exactly one death, because of a random crit or something. Bad luck.

>>30207762
>but do I really want to spend six times as much time on grinding?

this is pokemon. you don't need to be even leveled to win. use your head, use your smarts, you're the player character and have several advantages over the AI - use them

Alrights anons need some advice for a custom Pokemon Moon Nuzloke

I want it to be really hard, but also be able to get a nice diverse team. I have a hacked 3ds so I will be able to inject pokemon that aren't available in game.

This is what I need advice for:

1. I wanna make a system to determine what pokemon I capture/eject. For example, if my first encounter in a route is a starting bird (pikipek), then i will bring up a list of all starting birds (starly, pidgey etc) and randomly pick one of them to inject into my game, and that pokemon will be the pokemon I get.

The problem with this is what about other types of pokemon? If I'm in a cave, do i roll amongst every pokemon that usually dwells in a cave?

I just want a way to enjoy a nuzlocke but have access to all pokemon (inb4 wait for drayano hack)

At least I picked up a cool Wimpod from Route 8 and a very usable Passimian from Lush Jungle (after 10 Fomantis/Trumbeak encounters) that will be useful against Olivia, so it's not that bad

>I just want a way to enjoy a nuzlocke but have access to all pokemon

randomize it then
if the pokemons out of place bother you then do your idea of separating them by areas

Popplio/Primarina is the only starter that survives to the end of nuzlockes

Prove me wrong.
You can't.

>>30210873
Are you talking about SM only? Because that's bullshit, outside critical hits, every pokémon that dies is the trainer's fault

Outside of SM it's even less true. I made a 2-rund BW Nuzlocke (as in, it only ended when I fought Alder) and it survived

>that roost spamming trainer on the route before lush jungle
Just barely got out of that one, he took out my bug fairy tho

>>30212016
d-do you at least have spares in the box?

>>30210873
I nuzlocked sun and moon without even using my starter.

I swept the whole league with a zbellydrum azumarill. Was really fun.

Zbellydrum heals u to 100% before activating belly drum, the strat goes: use belly drum, when uare <50%, use z bellydrum and it heals u to full, and doesn't activatte belly drum since u are already at 100%, then u sweep with aquajet/playrough

Was so easy

>>30212134
A level 30 bold slowpoke. Time to max out affection.

Anyone gonna wonderlocke? Seems like it'll be fun desu

>>30212746
Wonder Trade was still kind of a mess last I checked, lots of route 1 mons going out still. I'd wait until Jap prime time at least, I got a lot of good breeding leftovers from them in X/Y.

>>30212746
Wonderlocke is fun if you have some sort of leveling rule

For example, if i catch a level 10 magikarp, the pokemon i receive from wonder trade has to be level 5-15. If you do that it's really fun.

>>30212746
good luck with a team of six gumshoos

>>30176386
What is WFG and how do I get those eggs?

>>30213144
First you need to take off your clothes and lie on that sofa right there

>>30212881
can you limit levels while wondertrading? never tried

>>30215721
No, I just trade till I get something in my range

Glad to see nuzgen back in action. I started a Moon nuzlocke right after playing Sun, had to make myself a shitty garbage template since there weren't any others I wanted to use. Just beat Hala and did a bit of exploring before the next island. I'm going to be using XP Share to grind up lower mons, but I won't be out-leveling any of the totem Pokemon or Grand Trials before I get there, to avoid becoming overleveled.

Besides that, not too many interesting other rules. Pinwheel clause is hard to pin down in Sun/Moon, so I'm just going to catch a different Pokemon on routes with clear name changes between transition screens.

Taking it pretty easy for this run, since I'm not too sure how hard Sun/Moon will be, items in battle are allowed.

>>30217125
aint the makuhita a fixed encounter to show the rustling grass mechanic?

>>30217159

Wasn't sure if it was randomized or not since the game just came out. It ended up being the first thing I encountered on Route 2 anyway, so I didn't mind grabbing it.

>>30217212
makuhita, wishiwashi during water trial and the first encounter always being pikipek are set

>>30217125
10/10 template

So after beating moon normal the first time I started a nuzlocke. Deathless till second Ilima fight. Lost my magnemite and Wingull to that gumshoos.... this is going to be a ride

>>30213144
I'm gonna have to second this, I don't know what that is either.

>grinding Crabominable in Mt. Lanakila
>use CC on absol
>absol used Me First

JUST

>>30220823
>having crabominable

even for non-nuzlockes its absolute shit

>first totem Pokemon kills half my team
I didn't think they would end up being this strong

>right afterwards Mankey jobbs to Oricori crit

of to a great start with this run.

So after the debacle that was Ilima's rematch this is the new team that's going up for the second trial. Ledian & Misdreavus are really pulling there worth. But as soon as I get some good mon's Bliffy is gone

So I just lost all my mons except for Grimer on Totem Lurantis. How fucked am I?

>>30223769
You can do it, anon.

>>30223769
Plenty of new routes and places to replenish your team after it. Grimer can tank a lot too so you should be fine

Starting to think i'll never get a Crobat
At least ive beaten Falkner this time. Hooray.

Limiting yourself to the same number of pokemon and levels as the gym leaders is great at making them feel like a threat again. Sorry for years of mockery, Falkner.

>ledian

why

What's the worst pokemon possible for a nuzlocke? That pokemon which is so useless that you'd be better boxing it and forfeiting your catch for that route instead of training it? Like, something Delibird tier, but even worse?

>>30225850
poochyena in emerald

>>30217159
If you tread on the outer area of the grass, it doesn't have to be Makuhita, you can also just avoid that patch of grass altogether.

Nuzlocke is a random shit, if you want a true challenge, just finish the game at low level.

>>30225542

Because dat reflect & light screen. Plus pikipek and paras won't do. I also got a zubat but I'm waiting for something better

>>30223818
>>30223895
Yeah you guys were right, I picked up a Fomantis and an Alolan Diglett already and I haven't even reached the kahuna. Whole fucking lot of grinding ahead of me now though.

>>30226476
at least both will be very useful against olivia

>>30226526
Yeah I know neither of them are very good but you take what you can get

Should I do a nuzlocke on my first playthrough of Sun and Moon or wait for the second playthrough?

So I just caught this. Pixilate Sylveon here I come. It's replacing Bliffy the Ledian

>>30227014
Do it on your second, so you have a comfy run to fall back on.

Beat Totem Wishiwashi a little while back, just had time to update now. Bad Romance managed to solo it, likely out of luck since it did use Growl a few times. I got off a Leech Seed and Mega Drained it to death.

Earlier than that, I lost a couple of party members on the way. I should pretty much expect to lose someone whenever a Z-move happens, I just didn't remember that Hau had one by that point. From here I'll head back to the Totem's Den for a catch, and move on to later routes.

its just a meme

>no affection Nuzlocke for Sun and Moon
>realize this means no cleaning after battles
>beating the game with a team covered in filth

I'm naming my character Dirty Boy and being done with it.

When doing a nuzlocke run, am i allowed to trade my kadabra in order for it to evolve to alakazam?
