Rock type Pokemon are powerful, but often slow and share many weaknesses. Can they beat Pokemon Black 2's greatest challenge!?
We've done some hard Pokemon challenges in the past, but usually they were a solo Pokemon challenge run. What if we still did a really difficult challenge... but with a full team using hardcore nuzlocke rules, and with only one type? Today we find out: can I beat a Pokemon Platinum Hardcore Nuzlocke with only Rock types? No items and no overleveling!

Monotype Hardcore Nuzlocke Ruleset:
(1) If a Pokémon faints, it must be permanently boxed or released.
(2) Only the first type-specific Pokémon encountered in each Route/Area can be caught.
(3) No Legendaries/Mythicals, duplicates, or same-evolution-line Pokémon can be caught or used. If a duplicate is encountered, the next unique type-specific Pokémon encounter can be caught.
(4) Additional Pokémon may be caught for the purpose of HM use, but these may not be used in battle at any time during the run.
(5) No Items can be used in battle (Held Items are allowed).
(6) Party Pokémon levels are limited to the highest level Pokémon of the next Gym Leader or Elite 4 Member. So long as your Pokémon are at or below the level cap when the Gym Leader/Elite 4 Member battle starts, they can level up mid-battle.
(7) "Set" Battle Mode must be used at all times.
(8) No connecting with other games for the purposes of importing Pokémon, Items, etc.

What's going on Silph Squad! It's time to attempt a monotype hc nuzlocke that hasn't been attempted before... let's find out why!
We've officially moved into the new house by the way, so it might take a bit of time to get things all set up, but you best believe we'll be on upload overdrive once we're all settled in! Thanks for supporting me & the channel in the meantime as always Will be posting updates & pictures on Twitter so make sure you're following on there: twitter.com/SilphSpectre
You should try gen 4 with only pokemon that became fairy type after gen 6
🪨 types actually beat 🐛 and 🧊. The 🪨 Pokémon who lost 🧊 Pokémon were not pure 🪨 like the Gigalith line.
A fun one could be Pokémon based on where people lived like if you lived in the desert 🏜 and all you had were l 🦂 🐍 and 🌵 stuff like that
Do you think you'll reattempt this challenge again? You know, hoping you don't lose craydily and maybe get better natures?
Is there any reason why you didn't pick the Onix in Relic Passage? Just because you already counted having caught the Rogenrola there?
14:17 The reason Magnemite kept hitting even though you mud-slapped him is because Magnet Bomb never misses, like Aerial Ace.
Good catch
I always forget Magnet Bomb has perfect accuracy lol
good catch !
Holyshit after nearlt 2 decades of playing this game i never knew that
he saved me in my randomizer nuzlocke, double teamed so many times and remembered it doesn’t miss, clutched norman’s gym
If anybody wants to attempt the mega-hardcore version of this run, technically it’s possible to get a rock type right at the start of the game fully legitimately. Using the Pokémon Dream Radar game you can obtain and trade over a Shuckle as soon as you get the Pokédex. I don’t know how viable it would be to use a Shuckle, granted, but I would certainly be fascinated to see!
Difficulty levels:
Novice
Beginner
Intermediate
Advanced
Expert
Ultra
Nightmare
Shuckle
Wish me luck, I'll provide updates (current attempt number: 1)
NOTE: Should I try Shuckle only for the chuckles and fuckles?
EDIT 1: New game started on Pokemon Black 2 and Shuckle was obtained from dream radar (Gender: Female, Nature: Jolly, Ability: Contrary)
EDIT 2: Help me with a list of names as I have no creative imagination thanks.
EDIT 3: I'm starting to think that contrary shuckle is broken. The enemy pokemon keep growling or leering and I just use roll-out as its the only stab/decent move currently while they buff me. Don't fuckle with shuckle.
EDIT 4: Got scared thinking I might break the level cap but got to Cheren at level 13 thank God. Also Shuckle just rolled through his whole team so badge 1 complete. I'm thinking a shuckle only run is completely viable except I don't have defence curl in gen 5 so I can't max damage roll-out. But it's still fairly powerful provided I don't flinch or get paralysed.
EDIT 5: Shuckle died to a grimer in virbank city gym. Poison gas coupled with disabling my roll-out caused Shuckles demise. End of Run 1. Will restart tomorrow.
@@incognitobandito244 good luck
Personally when I did this run I started with Onix over Gigalith, since it's the mon you have the means to guarantee as an encounter through Repels and dust clouds. Onix kinda just hard carried through the first 5 gyms with Curse or Rock Polish (or sometimes both), especially with the Eviolite and Rest for recovery. From that point on I just abused Shell Armor Crustle againsy the remaining gyms and most of the E4.
Can’t stop watching these challenges I absolutely love them. I’ve never done a nuzlocke myself but want to try in the future. Love your vibes man keep them coming!!
I have done nuzlockes. But never finished one.
I always end up quitting or cheating midway through.
Try it out it’s actually a challenging and rewarding experience currently doing a nuzlocke on platinum haven’t finished yet tho
@@perc120 I’m doing a X firetype only and it’s really fun
Just remember, you start nuzlocking, you can’t go back to normal play throughs 😅
36:34 I think it's ok if one of your pokemon levels up mid battle, as a lot of other nuzlockers actually use that to their advantage.
Yes I was surprised that he didn’t go by this rule as well! Thanks for pointing it out so maybe he’ll see it
Thy was coming here to say the same ^^
Even Silph has done this with e.g. Magnemite against Roxanne in Gen 3. So I was a bit surprised.
You know what'd be good for a water type gym? A grass type with storm drain
Too soon
Yeah, if someone needed to get sacked, I feel like lileep was a much more valuable Pokémon than rogenrola
@@FireFog44 The only problem with that is Lileep is weak to Dwebble’s bug moves, and Roggenrola isn’t. I agree with you, only if Dwebble was already gone.
R.I.P. Lilleep
5:00 fun fact, according to manga, he apparently lost on purpose because he honestly agreed with N’s message
So, if he wanted, Adventures Alder could kick N's ass?
@OnegaZer0 I bet he still would’ve lost considering N had Zekrom, but he probably would’ve put up way more of a fight
manga is its own cannon. nothing in it applies to the games, which is a shame cause the manga is my favourite version of pokemon
The disrespect on the GOAT shuckle cost you in the end, sir. Rest, Power Split, Protect and Toxic paired with leftovers is a filthy filthy FILTHY moveset. This little Tortoise boi single handedly won me my bug only hardcore nuzlocke in Pokémon X :D Love Shuckle to bits
You could have got Onyx before the second gym in relic passage and it with eviolite would have crazy physical defense
Here in Italy it's 10 p.m. and now I just can relax and chill with your video, you ROCK man
Silph on a Monday, what a pleasant surprise
Almost right on regarding the early Ultra Ball, although the earliest you can get one is right after you get poke balls in Ruby/Sapphire with Zigazagoon's pickup
Well I guess it’s the earliest guaranteed one with no grinding then.
once again thank you silph for the hard work, this put a smile on my face and black 2 was my first ever pokemon game, ill enjoy this one!
You’ve got some awesome timing. I just finished watching your Platinum run recently and when it finished I was like “wish he had a new Gen 5 run”.
Then I see “13 minutes ago uploaded”.
Excellent! Anyway, scary timing aside. Your videos are always awesome.
Nice, needed a good excuse to re binge your hard-core nuzlockes
"A Nosepass?" *Gasps* "Perry the Probopass!"
Dwebble is one of my favorite pokemon and I never evolve it in my runs. It was nice to see him shine again!
Devastating! A fun run as always, thanks for making awesome videos Silph
These are the best thing about the start of the week. Love these, Silph. Thank you for blessing us!
as a musician i love the naming theme in this run - love the runs as always Silph!
Hey Silph, fantastic and hilarious video as always! I thought it was okay to level past the level cap mid-battle in the Elite Four?
He still had Marshall left after Caitlin and was still under the Lvl. 58 level cap so when Fleet got up to 59 he was technically over leveled for the elite 4 not the champion fight
You inspired me to try out some challenges like these, they're so much fun
Love your videos, keep going, Silph!
What a great way to relax 😊 Looking forward to it!
Well done. I love Rock Types, and it's always a joy to see them used in challenges
Sunday, Monday, Rain or thunder Imma always be here for Silph Nuzlocke Challenges!!! Loving the rock type
I think you can get Ultra Balls before the first trial in one of the Alola games for having caught a certain number of Pokémon.
YES! a new episode! Can’t stop watching your video’s, thanks for it Silph
Just sat down to start doing some editing. This was well timed, and thank you for the upload as always
Nice! Thank you for this videos! They are so much fun!
I hope you can do any run on Alola, it can be fun with you playing them, hahaha.
Silph! So happy to see you upload!
Excellent playthrough. I like the way you utilized Solrock and its suite of setup moves, it proved invaluable to me when I ran through Omega Ruby with Psychic types before. I'm also glad to see Aggron back in the rotation. Rock is a really solid type offensively, but Gen 5 was a really hard time for them and added a lot of support for Fighting and Steel types, and the ability buffs were bothersome to me. Still, you did a great job and I cant wait for the next run!
love your vids silph! keep it up!
Honestly, I would've sacrificed Roggenrola. Lileep into eventual Cradily is much stronger.
Love watching your content Silph! This challenge ROCKED.... (Insert tumbleweed)
Hey, i love your challenges! Maybe should have used iron defense at the Burgh fight to prevent lileep dying?
Amazing run Silph! You won in our hearts 😉
Also, reminder that Rock Smash isn’t an HM in Gen 5 so you don’t need to move deleter to get rid of it
Another thing is that I just did a monotype Bug playthrough of White 2 cuz I’ve been inspired by your awesome videos! I didn’t do a nuzlocke just a play through and man was it still a challenge! Just like you in this video I’ve never used Crustle before on a playthrough and he clutched out victories for me like beating Ghetsis and even Iris at the end! My respect for Crustle is higher than it’s ever been 😁
If anyone was curious this was my team and their Nicknames
Dweedo - Leavanny
Vengeance - Scolipede
Curt Rustle - Crustle
Karrabola - Escavalier
Thundarach - Galvantula
Morpherno - Volcarona
What nature were these Pokemon? Please update 😊
I love the naming scheme, like Jimi for Jimi Hendrix and Fleet for Fleetwood Mac. They all follow famous rock artists
Any run that gives Probopass some love is a good run!
Another great video Silph, once again saying you are the best
Can you do a Psychic hardcore nuzlocke on Pokemon LeafGreen? You have good options for psychic pokemon and wold be cool seeing you using a mr mime
Damn i just knew you were gonna pull through in the final battle! Great video, Iris is tough
Morning made, thanks for this Silph!
Man i love rock types thx silph for making this vid😊
Damn that was epic! Thanks for the video
I swear I love your challenges I watch every ep until a new one comes out
Appreciate you Eric, thanks for the support! 🙏
your welcome
For Burgh's gym, you could've used Acid since Poison is super effective on Grass types. Otherwise, great video as always!
I want you to know that I live for these uploads. I’m usually asleep when you post - but the minute I wake up and check my notifications I’m like “I MUST WATCH THIS IMMEDIATELY”
So, no pressure
I love these videos, I'll never get tired of watching you challenges✨
Silph has like the most awesome sounding voice lol. It sounds so epic to watch these!
If you use Dream World encounters, you can also use Dream Radar encounters, which has Shuckle (which imo should have been your starter since you can get Shuckle immediately after you get your Pokédex). Dream Radar has been essential in many of my nuzlockes, and I'd love to see more of it later.
How do you even access Dream World? The service has been shut down
@@ste---ny4lh idfk, I'm just a Dream Radar advocate
LETS GOOOOO PERFECT DROP FOR A LAZY HOLIDAY. LOVE YOU SILPH
I love that this team has two of my favorite Pokémon in it, Gigalith and Aggron. They’re both so cool
I agree
This dude is pumping out content like it's no tomorrow, appreciate the grind bro
Love your content dude! Really makes my day when I watch your videos!
Always love seeing your notifications for videos. It makes my day! :)
Just a heads up for future challengws, Payback does double damage if the user moves after the target, regardless of if the target attacked
YOO LETS GOOOOO NEW SILPH VID. I'm also one of the early gang!!!
Man this was a good run, definitely one of my favourite'. What a roller-coaster
Just ate dinner after a long day of school (I have one more extracurricular in a few hours) and I love winding down by watching your videos, Silph :)
Great video man, as always love the content!
One thing I would suggest is, if you're doing a challenge where a mon is locked behind the post game I bet the majority of your fans would be more than happy for you to set one of those as your starter. Just a suggestion, keep up the great work 😄
the issue is that these vids are meant to show that its possible with nothing more than what the base game itself gives you. hacking roggenrola early is fine, you'll get one later anyway guaranteed so getting it early makes no difference (you'll notice that he skipped the onix encounter he could have gotten in that area where roggenrola was normally first available, because if he had not used hacks then that cave would have been roggenrolas encounter location). hacking in a pokemon you cant normally get at all defeats the point of the challenge.
@@ahumanbeingfromtheearth1502 While I see your point, I would argue that the distinction between base game availability and post game availability is not a big difference, as long as the devs intended on you being able to use them in the game. I can totally understand not making your starter a mon such as Rhyhorn or Omanyte because they aren't in the game, but Archen, Tirtouga, or Larvitar, were intended to be useable, and may have made the challenge possible.
@@RealBigFudge uh, no? I'm not trying to be rude, but I genuinely cannot understand why you think that doesn't make a big difference
@@ahumanbeingfromtheearth1502 Because, as I said, they were programmed into the games. That is the biggest distinction between which Pokémon should be used in a challenge.
woah never been this early before love the vids man!!
Solid run, and a great video
Have you thought about recording the gym battles, E4 and champion gaemplay with live voice instead of commentary, but having commentary for the remainder of the video? I feel like the video would be more engaging on the battles?
Great vid though! Rock only HC nuzlocke would be my worst nightmare😂
rock is my 2nd favorite type and i loved playing both BW and B2W2 so i hope to enjoy this video
The earliest I have ever been for a Sliph Spectre video.
I was hoping to do this run myself but my DS is damaged.
Something to watch at work. Nice
I’ve been so addicted to watching nuzlockes especially silph and flygon keep up the amazing vids
It'd be great if you played one of these in Challenge mode since the gym leaders all get one additional Pokémon and of a species that they don't already have in their team, and the Elite 4 get the same plus really good held items. They're listed in their Bulbapedia pages. It'd be a great challenge! And also fun because it'd be a bit of a fresh one, since it's a bit different than the regular runs.
Yes, I asked for this some time ago. Thank you so much.
Mad huge fan Silph but Aye yo you should do some more earlier gen too loved the crystal nuzlocke you've done
14:20 magnet bomb can't miss that's why it was so lucky
Good job on the run btw
Man, I totally slept on Crustle. That thing had so many sweeps in this run.
First time I saw Silph defeated! I'm shocked!
Challenge idea: can you beat all the Pokestar Studios movies without losing your sanity? lol
The Jokes were absolutely on point this time xD
Keep it up Champ !
oof. another loss on the counter. this is the 7th one if we count the water-only on Black. better luck next time (would reseting until you made it pass burgh with lileep alive be a reasonable strat? it did seem possible to do it. or maybe even allow yourself to get onyx on relic passage make the run possible?)
regardless great video silph, always having fun with your challenges.
The first battle against Colress, Magnet Bomb never misses
The King! We need weekly’s! We miss you too much
these videos are so fun, binge time
Do a run of B2W2 in Challenge Mode. You choose the type.
Agreed.
Seanus
Been trying to get him to for quite a while now.
the comeback in this one is insane!
So happy you did this ru
If you want to go by badge numbers I'm almost certain it's possible to get ultra balls before the first gym in sword and shield thanks to the DLCs, but by time or distance from the start of the game that one may be the earliest.
Can we just take a minute and appreciate the skill this man has to not only do nuzlock’s in every game but also with a single type weekly!?! Like I am rn doing my first ever nuzlock with all types on soul silver and it is ROUGH ngl!😅💯
You did amazing! I think if you would have let Crustle hold that Hard Stone after Gigaleth fainted, it could have given you the slight edge in the end. Still an amazing job
I havent seen it yet, but youre the best bro
Finally Mr. Silph is back
If remember correctly, magnet bomb doesn't miss (or that was mirror shot), so that would make sense to not miss even with the accuracy drops
Silph I know you can rule it however you want these are your videos after all, but every other hardcore nuzlocker I've watched stops worrying about the levelcap once the elite four gauntlet starts. So like you should be totally fine to keep using the mon you were thought had overlevelled around 36:30
Thats because magnet bomb ignores accuracy checks xD, like aura sphere or shockwave xD
Also great vid like always! 😃
I’ve been rewatching every one of ur videos
My favorite Gen and my favorite type in one video. Definitely deserves a like
Solrock and Lunatone are Pokemon I'd really like to use in a playthrough sometime, maybe even in like Gen 3. They're pretty mediocre overall but in the contexts they're in in the games, they have good utility with being Rock-types not weak to either Ground or Fighting, and are just strong enough to be useful. I used a Lunatone in a ROM hack once and it was pretty decent actually.
We need more content I’ve watched all ur videos like a million times
loved the content :D
This video was on point. Had me laugh a good couple times. And that 90 day fiance bit, yeah uh. My wife likes that show, I may have seen far too much of 90 day fiance, it's not healthy.
Silph has to try this again at some point. I feel like he can beat it on a 2nd run
The jellicent whiped out my whole team in my black 2 nuzlocke run
I remember doing a rock type monotype run in these games, it wasn't nuzlocke though, and my starter was my favorite pokemon line, the Rhyhorn line, it was really fun, final team was, Rhyperior, Aggron, Lunatone, Gigalith, Crustle and Terrakion
Duuuude you got rocked... you got rocked hard.
Puns aside, how about a heart gold/soul silver psychic type only run?
14:18 King, Magnet Bomb bypasses accuracy check, always hits.
