Welp, suffered two losses in Aether Paradise.

First Faba's Bruxish crunched Decidueye. Afterwards Lusamine's Milotic hit a critical Hydro Pump on my Light Screened Magneton.

I need two replacements and Wanda decided to be a dick and kill my encounter on Poni Wilds.

What is the dumbest way you've ever lost a nuzlocke?

Because I'm pretty mad right now. I'm doing a red randomizer and I decided to randomize tms, little did I know that also changes what pokemon can learn them. And I guess it applies for hms too, because I caught over 35 pokemon and NONE could learn cut. From metapod, dragonite, to meowth and syther. Nothing

>>32970755
poison

got my two pokemon poisoned in veridian forest and they died steps away from the pokemon center counter. i had a no items clause

Goddamn cheating AI target my shellos all the time in double battle and got two crits in a same turn

RIP vizcalina

>>32970755

Letting Blue's Gyarados get many Dragon Dances in because I was too cautious. So I wiped. I tried again after that, considering the Nuzlocke was already over, and defeated the Gyarados with no problems by being more aggressive. Nuzlocking HGSS just isn't fun.

>>32970755
That's exactly why you should never randomise anything that can potentially break the game.
Also, why are you playing in landscape?

>>32970755
>not catching a mon that could learn cut just to keep going, then release it before it ever gets involved in a battle
In your defense, I don't think severe autism can be considered dumb.

Can someone please post the heirlocke blank? I'm gonna try it on heart gold

>>32970818

that said if you're going to grind a few levels it could pay off to EV grind

My little boy's all grown up.

Nuzlocking Fire Red, I'm at Celadon.
Goddamnit the game is kinda easy to nuzlocke but I'm having the worst luck, five turn losses to confusion in a row killed my Pidgeotto and three crits in a row killed my Dugtrio, plus I've locked myself out of encounters in three routes already due to the dupes clause.
Now I've got a lopsided as fuck team, which bothers me. Not to mention a sausagefest, I don't seem to be able to catch female mons in this run.
Moving on, ought I evolve Eevee into Vaporeon or wait for Espeon? I don't rightly remember what good water mons are ahead of me right now.

Feebas seems to be a replacement for Magikarp in the randomizer, so I think I can go and find another one.

Team before the Elite Four and any possible grinding I might do. Three of them were survivors from previous nuzlockes and has managed to survive their game of origin and all subsequent nuzlockes afterwards.

Because I've been doing each game where I move the surviving members of the final battle to the next game, would you say Ghetsis is the final battle for White or would it be Alder?

Barry Pastoria fight was a breeze. Threat the Gyarados plowed through the Gym and Crasher Wake's Gyarados.

Leafeon took out the Quagsire.

Then Gyarados Intimidated his Floatzel. Being insanely bulky, I hit it with 3 Leers before Threat was crit'ed with a Crunch.

Swapped in Luxor and used Fly. Missed the Fly and got hit with a Crunch that lowered my SpDef. I KNEW it carried some Ice-type move, so I swapped out into Houndoom and ate up the Ice Fang.

Now I was sitting there debating whether or not I should heal the Drifblim and potentially live a Brine from Floatzel, or go straight for the Thunder Fang I just taught Thorn before entering the Gym. I wasn't confident that the Thunder Fang would kill, but was positive a STAB Fly would kill a -3 Defense Floatzel.

Took the risk and heal Luxor, Thorn took the Brine and lived on 5 HP. Switched out to Luxor, took the Brine, used Fly and one shot the Floatzel.

Then caught Quagsire in the Great Marsh. I think I'm gonna grind Index and Marsha before hitting Route 212. Also, I forgot to include the Bibarel in my templates, she's just there as an HM Slave.

It could have gone worse.

i dont know shit about gen 4 onwards. not even level range. got to her 5 levels below lucario. it wasnt pretty. i was ready to throw the towel but then monferno (my last pokemon) survived somehow and killed lucario with a weak ass ember

now i have a goldeen a happiny a hoothoot and monferno and no routes/balls to catch stuff. fun times ahead.

also why the fuck monferno can learn grass knot but cant learn drain punch? what is this nonsense?

>>32970449
That's what I'm thinking, but his movepool looks really bad. What would you use for him?

>>32972618
Same I had a Drifblim and tookout her other two mons but her Lucario jumped up like 3 levels.
Then she preceded to gain Attack Boosts through Metal Claw. Had to switch to Luxio and died to a crit Drain Punch. Fuck me right?

Grass Knot could come in handy, but yeah I'd definitely prefer Drain Punch. Stupid as hell

>>32972576
I could've phrased that better, but what I'm asking is whether or not people bother going after Alder when they do B/W or if they just stop after beating Ghetsis.

Stop

Do not want

I like watching Nuzlockes on youtube, but it is rare to find someone with just the right entertainment value (lose pokemon regularly but still advance all the way to the end)

That said, I can't find any vanilla Nuzlockes. I just want to see somebody play through Red or Blue or Yellow or something with the very basic rules... so they might have a team of two spearows and their starter and two geoududes, that kind of thing

>>32970769
I wish people would play with a no-item clause on Youtube

Everybody always just chugs potions to survive

>>32973338
I wouldn't even mind if they just kept item use to a minimum but god damn if there aren't a lot of them who just spam potions until the enemy runs out of PP for his dangerous move

Any wonderlocke stories? Thinking of doing one with Omega but I already dread the thought of the amount of zigs, worms, and gulls I face.

>>32973338
yeah, its kinda shitty
specially clowns like team four star who like to brand themselves nuzlocke kings BEATING NUZLOCKES EVERY GENERATION!!!!11 but play with a guide open 24/7 and win shit just by chugging hyper potions forever

>>32973364
You'll get way more zigs, worms and gulls playing normally than you'll ever see in a wonderlocke. This "shitty pokemon wonderlocke" is a myth, you always receive overpowered shit 4/5 of the time.

>>32973338
i think griffin mcelroy of polygon does a y nuzlocke without usin any potions in battle?

>>32973370
and don't forget, actually tried to hide a wipe

>>32973315
also im on my way to surge and ive already lost five pokemon. three in ONE BATTLE. you gotta be careful with this shit...

>>32973380
Remember when they CRUSHED Moon by maxing refresh as soon as they got a pokemon, using exp share and overleveling to every battle? Man that was challenging!

>>32973364
people send most of the time they breed rejects, so you end up with 5IV charmander with dragon dance more than with zigs or worms, don't worry and go for it

>>32973405
I wonder what their eventual platinum run will be like given they actually managed to wipe on emerald
well one guaranteed thing is them going into full potion spam mode on the first gym pp draining the cranidos' headbutt

Is Tyrunt a good team member in XY? I looked it up and he doesnt learn any good moves until 10 or so levels.

Team is Frogadier, Tyrunt, Ivysaur, Snorlax, Pidgeotto, and Floette.

>>32973968

>>32973968
>But am I ready to fight Watson?
No. You're a bit on the low side level wise and you likely have only one supereffective move against only one of his pokemon. Also the guy is a fucking paralysis spamming faggot and you don't have any cheri berry equipped.
If you go now you're gonna lose teammates or you're gonna have to alternate hits with healing items every fucking turn.

>>32974003
Blue Moon is weak to electric and only Pecan resists it. But I am going to train Makuhita up to 23 thanks for the advise

>>32974330
Anon no. You don't understand. That IS MOTHERFUCK.
They have Shadow Tag, are fast as fuck, get access to Spore, Perish Song, and Destiny Bond, and the AI is smart enough to swap them out on the final turn so you have to watch as your mon dies to perish song with the loathing that MOTHERFUCK will claim another victim. Did I mention that it is ground/flying and has a fuckload of attack but only learns selfedestruct, earthquake, and explosion for attacking moves?

I have maximum flow (max little bars as well), so it's only a matter of time, but I can't find anything on the mechanics of the purification chamber. Does going into battles help pokemon in the chamber? Is it time-based or step-based?

Just reached Veilstone City, had a few deaths since the 2nd Gym but doing alright.

>>32974909
I've been doing something similar to one anon I saw in these threads a few months back where he imports his surviving team to the next game, deleveling and devolving them as well as removing their moves. The sequence so far from me has been Emerald, FireRed, Platinum, SoulSilver and now White. Also running some extra rules like only using 2 healing items max per battle and levels restriction to offset any imbalance from survivors.

DEAR FUCKING GOD WHY

Lush Jungle Lurantis is the most bloodthirsty motherfucker I've run into in a nuzlocke since Blaze Black 2 Clay's Excadrill. Him and his faggot accomplice Castform. My Trumbeak just couldn't take down more than half its HP with Pluck, got whittled down so tried switching to Gumshoos. One shot crit Solar Blade. Switch the Magnemite, one shot crit solar blade. Switch to Brionne, one shot Solar Blade. Switch back to Trumbeak, manage to get it in the low yellow before she dies too. Mudbray dies instantly as well. My little Thick Club Cubone takes out Lurantis before joining his mother in the grave to a Weather Ball.

Holy shit, what an absolute monster of a Totem Battle. Some of my guys were SO close to evolving. I've lost 8 (EIGHT) team members since Wela National Park. Sun is harder to nuzlocke than I thought.

Luckily I have enough box mons for a new team with four to spare. Though 5 of the 10 are water type. Ugh.

RIP Luna, Don, Mig, Valkyrie, Marley and Mars.

Man, so many people starting up Heirlockes. And here I am, trying to get into a Y Nuzlocke. I'm so torn. Part of me feels like I should be doing my own challenge run idea, while another part of me really wants to try and beat a Y Nuzlocke.

Dare I try a Y Heirlocke?

>>32971285
I watched a Peal speedrun the other day and the runner said that the AI is actually really good in random trainer double battles compared to regular battles. Double battle AI is on par with or better than gym leader AI (gen 3 double battle ai was garbage so I guess it makes senses)

guess that makes sense. AI was really dumb in gen 3 and it caught me off guard here. they smell the blood and go for the kill

>>32975210
>>32975227
It was more noticeable because one of their mons had a type advantage against my other pokemon but still went to hit meditite (and keep it in range for a kill for its partner) anyway. in emerald they would go for the super effective move every time no doubts

OK THANK YOU

can't heem the queen

I'm using a fucking Finneon because i have no other options to use.

The magic of a nuzlocke. I would never, ever use a finneon in a normal playthrough.

We can rebuild.

man blissey is a beast
i'm basically locked with four pokemon forever because of two near wipes and no more pokeballs and she still keeps bailing everyone else from my team with her tankness and healing (including the stupid useless fire monkey)

noctowl is alright too. learned to appreciate it. and i got a fucking lumineon as well.

>>32975252
sounds about right. the AI likes to keep you in damage range loop by gaining up on one pokemon.

>>32975468
>noctowl is alright too. learned to appreciate it
Nuzlockes always make you appreciate bulky pokemon more than you otherwise would.

>>32975126
I would just do the Y Nuzlocke and then do the heirlocke after hearing the other anons experiences

Since my team minus Lv.20 Gumshoos and Lv.24 Cubone all got wiped at Lv.26 (the Lurantis is Lv.24), I'm grinding my new guys to Lv.28. I'm gonna use

Bubba the Naughty Araquanid
Cake the Gentle Raichu
Sevir the Timid Bagon
Charlotte the Quirky Herdier
And, for backup for the Totem, though they won't stay on my team
Mali the Jolly Wishiwashi
Aura the Adamant Gyarados

I have a Wimpod from Route 8 I'll wait until evolving before adding to my team. I have a Boldore I can't evolve, a Finneon and an Eeevee I'm still saving for a rainy day.

I really hope Raichu, Herdier and Bagon can hold their own. With the exception of Araquanid's Bug Bite, I have zero moves strong against grass.

>>32975331
kek

>>32975646
Why not use the Gyarados instead of Herdier? It's neutral damage and doesn't it learn Dragon Rage around 28? I know at least Bite

>Start Firered randomized

Got this guy right away in the first zone. Looks like he might actually be a really good defensive mon.

For reference, almost everything is randomized. Move power's arent, but moves, stats, types, and pokemon are all randomized. Should be really fun.

>>32975468
noctowl swept multiple gym leaders in my voltwhite run

>>32975737
mine is not that great in offense terms but can tank some hits and put people to sleep and that's a-okay in my book

note to self never use uproar again
no one died but it was waay to close

>>32975731
i don't like randomizing move types. makes the game too chaotic to follow because you can't have a clue of anything being used before seeing it being used (and remembering it). but seems good

>>32975767
You could always leave off random move types, I believe there's an option in the randomize that would still allow pokemon to gain moves that match type.

Randomized pokemon games are about the only way I can play nuzlocke games anymore. outside of trying to torture myself with bw2 challange or platinum under crazy hard rules.

>>32975789
i know, i also randomize almost everything (always fun to get a 95 accuracy horn drill with 40 PP) but i leave move types as they are. so when i get hit by flame wheel i don't have to keep wondering if its a water or ice move as well, too many variables to account for already

>>32975798
ahh gotcha gotcha.

yeah, I'll probably regret random move types half way through the game...But i just have to much fun using attacks that I would never use normally because of the random types.

>>32975815
>But i just have to much fun using attacks that I would never use normally because of the random types.
random power/PP/accuracy already does that
got a 120 power astonish once. high flinch chance for basically a hyper beam with no lost turns? sign me in senpai

>>32975723
I'm gonna lead with Herider then use Gyarados as the switch in. That faggot Castform with become Sun mode, so Gyarados can resist both of them. I don't think any one of my mons will take that Lurantis out by themselves.

>>32975872
Also, Herdier has Thunderwave. Definitely not letting that Lurantis get off as many Synthesis and Solar Blades as it pleases.

>>32975831
yeah, see that's kinda what I want to avoid though.

Random power just has to much of a chance of giving broken moves like that which really kills the fun of the game.

>>32975999
random type has the same chance as well, with the difference that the player is the only one being surprised by things all the time

but you do you

>>32976031
Random types would only change stuff like Hyper beam becoming rock type or something like that.

I leave the move's power alone simply to avoid having spammable high power moves without a drawback.

But at least with random type on certain types can get moderately powerful moves if I'm lucky enough. 80-90 bp rock moves that don't come with retarded acc problems. Flying moves not named Fly or Wing attack.

Stuff like that.

>>32976101
you're forgetting that random move types affect everything, not only attacking moves

good luck missing hypnosis because it became electric and a ground goldeen resisted it (when the AI won't have the same doubt about it)

>>32975910
Nevermind, Gyarados just learned Ice Fang. I'm golden.

>>32976150
to be honest I probably wouldn't even use hypnosis ingame for the most part. I have terrible luck when it comes to sleep moves.

But yeah, that's a risk I take. makes the game a bit more fun though. at least for me.

>>32976179
it's not just hypnosis. any non-attacking move is subject to that. screech, leech seed, encore, thunder wave, toxic, you name it. it really limits your strategy when you put all up to luck. but if you find that fun, more power to ya

>>32976206
So basically we just need an option in the randomizer to turn off random types for status moves yes?

Sounds good to me!

>>32976228
Would be nice, yes. wouldn't mind having an rock ice beam if it meant that i wouldn't get a ghost spore that wouldnt work on any normal randomized pokemon as well

I could rely on Thunder instead of TBolt, but that's just asking for trouble.

In order of difficulty, how would you list Sacred Gold, BS Plat Intense and VW2 Challenge Mode?
I'm gonna try doing another run of each in ascending difficulty order.
I'm assuming VW2 CM would be the hardest, but less sure about SG and BSPlat.

Alright, let's give this one last try then. As requested, I'll just do a standard Nuzlocke for now.

Y is kind of my kryptonite. It was the first game I ever Nuzlocked, and I have since failed it completely twice, and given up on it early on countless times, all with this same ruleset. I need to just buckle down and give this thing one more, solid attempt.

No more restarting. Let's do this.

Is thrash ever worth it or is it to risky?
