....basically Greek mythology then, a human woman and a hydra produced an angel child, so not that weird
Bruh it's a joke from one of his previous videos
Bro fr died 😂

This man once called Tauros a horse

Justice for Goey 😔
Considering that Flygon has a resistance against electric moves from his dragon type, that's only fitting!

Eggs are considered as the encounter of the area where they hatch, not where they are obtained. So you could have gotten the Wooper and Slugma eggs from Primo and hatched them on some other route.
I don't think so, cuz then it can be easily exploited and make the run quite easy
I mean i suppose technically, but eggs show both who you got them from and where they hatched
@@oliverspencer2411 The "Met At" (which Is what most nuzlockers use for their encounters) says the zone It hatched.
@@accentillia8116 ih HGSS specifically it does say "[Date] [Location] Egg received. [Date] [Location] Egg hatched." I imagine that as long it's not through the daycare, the Egg hatched is the equivalent to the Met At location for a lot of players, but i think run to run can have different contexts for what they'll allow. In HGSS, the gift Togepi egg has Mr. Pokémon as the egg received location, and the gift Wooper, Mareep, and Slugma eggs have Primo as the egg received location. So i don't think anyone should have a problem with both a Primo egg and the gift Togepi egg if theyre hatched on different routes, and in a gift locke like this I think one of each egg would be acceptable, since both Quagsire and Ampharos are pretty good Pokémon, and both of Slugma's abilities will help speed up their hatching process

Always good to see some love for my boy Shuckie! He's carried my Heartgold Nuzlockes before.
Shuckle's awesome
Shuckle is the ultimate tank
Turtle pokemon are op what can i say
Well good for you im still doing my heartgold hardcore nuzlocke sadly i dont have shuckle but i used shuckle in pokemon showdown good for you👍
@@Unknown-yy9os what's your username? Mine is blueshub . Wanna battle?

You could've actually defeated Red though. There's a particular weather condition called Diamond Dust that occurs on some very specific days, and replaces the regular hail on Mt. Silver. This completely negates the Hail damage in that battle.
What
@@Jijadelamadre He is completely right! If im correct it's normally on your birthday! 💙
@@rivermetimber what
@@Jijadelamadre On certain days diamond dust does at times replace hail! It's on your birthday though so-💙
@@rivermetimber It's also on some other days,Don't remember which ones tho.
"Catching pokemon?I Refuse to enslave creatures. I shall only use domesticated creautures"
"Okay team plasma wannabe"
"Or Jif's depending on who you ask." Can't do a hardcore nuzlocke without a bit of peanut butter.
You singlehandedly made that joke okay.
Hardcore Nutlocke
You mean the crappy one?
I have gone from hardly even knowing what Nuzlockes consist of, to then binge watching most of your videos, to then being keenly awaiting the next banger upload.
Your videos are just a joy to watch!
USPS actually used to be really good at delivering eggs! People would buy chicken eggs and could rely on them arriving safe and in time to hatch. The current postmaster general is intentionally slowing mail service which has messed that up, but we used to be able to which was cool
I'd actually be interested in reading more about the PMG... Is there a source for that?
"Welcome to the world, Geff. I hope you're ready for a life of combat and mortal peril."
Always a delight to listen to the narrating. This is why I come back to this channel over and over again.
FlygonHG: Whatever game you're playing, it won't work. You can't defeat me.
Red: ... (I know, but he can.)
*Hail chip damage*
You're so pleasant to watch even if you don't make it the way it was planned or play suboptimally, thanks a lot for your videos, they help me pass time during my depression episodes
Trill spill
Love your dry humor! Watching your runs is a highlight of my Saturdays. Wouldn't you have won against Red if you taught Hitmonchan sunny day?
@@FlygonHG oops, meant rain dance obviously
@@mickhendriks6791 Sure you did, lol
Also could have won if you set the date to one of the many date-determined events (like on March 15th or October 10th), it triggers “Diamond Dust” which is a special event that gets rid of the hail entirely.
There are some days in which the hail atop of mount silver is turned into "diamond dust" (you can take a look at it in bulbapedia). This does not damage your Pokémon, meaning that last fight could have been a W. Its kind of insane.
This sounds easy...but then you remember the gift Pokemon in Johto (yikes)
@@mauriciozanella5496 🤣
@crot ah💋 imagine being a robot
Wym, all you need is Shuckle!
No not at all, my first play through was only gift
Edit; also it didn't know about the primo gift., Also it wasn't a nuzlock so i got to overlevel and i never defeated red
There’s no such thing as bad Pokémon- only bad trainers… or a lack of time lol
The funniest part is that you can hear the tiniest chuckle in his voice when he talks about the species clause.
"Using some berries, I reworked his EV a bit"
Oh. Yeah. With berries. Totally.
Luckily Flygon's uncle works for Nintendo and got him that special DS
Certain berries lower EV values and raise happiness if you use them, so that you can change the EV spread you are using on your Pokémon.
@@iroj4138 definitely berries...
@@LunaroseClaire It’s perfectly possible that he hacked in some berries to lower EVs, he’s done much more tedious things than feeding berries, he could’ve used hacks to change EVs too but he’s never done that before. Either way, it doesn’t really matter.
@@iroj4138 Believe it or not, I'm aware.
The fight against Bruno’s Onix featured some of the most potent sarcasm I have ever seen
Hell yeah, the best part of every Saturday. The runs you come up with are super interesting and different, and I love that you have bounced to just about every generation for these. Excellent work, Doctor.
The naming schemes are always one of my fav parts
And the final fight was so good, can't wait for the next one!
Real tough run. Nice win. I certainly don’t blame you for not doing Kanto in the traditional way. It’s never super fun and doing it with only two mons is downright impossible.
Hope everything goes smoothly for you :)
reminds me of my Gold nuzlocke; Smokey the Ursaring was the sole survivor but he swept the rest of the game thanks to elemental punches, which were TM in gen 2. Granted it operated off special, but with those and Earthquake he could handle just about anything.
10:08 missed opportunity to call it a Golteon 👊😔
Commenting five minutes into the video, the doctor is already using a truly atrocious naming scheme using intentional mispronunciation and taking like five stealth jabs at Johto a minute, I’m just glad that some things really do stay constant in life, it brings me comfort.
hot tip for surge’s cans in this game: after finding the first one, you can save and then reset the game to methodically test the adjacent cans (the first can will stay even after reloading)
Or use walkthrough walls code
resetting each time just takes forever
And as per usual, a big shoutout to Gimtendo for making this challenge more manageable
15:56 had this happen in one of my recent nuzlockes, i felt like an idiot. seeing it can happen to you too makes me feel slightly better, thank you flygonhg
“Now it’s time to talk about Bruno”
Me: “bu- but we don’t talk about Bruno-no-no!”
We don't talk about Bruuuno!
Silencio Bruno!!
_No se habla de Bru~no_
_No_
_No_
_No_
The nickname scheme for this run was pure jenius!
That onix fight was close 🤯
Since you have more of a storytelling approach to your Nuzlockes, have you considered doing a Wedlocke challenge or maybe a Soul Link challenge? I think with your creativity, it would be really fun!
“Now it’s time we talk about Bruno.” I see what you did there, Dr. Flygon
Great run! For future HGSS runs, consider fighting Red on the special days when there's diamond dust instead of hail to make it a bit easier.
Ah I love doing these gift only nuzlocke runs, they're so fun. If anyone tries to attempt a run like this I highly recommend SwSh(with dlc) and FrLg as they give you enough pokemon for at least a full team. If anyone wants a challenge try RSE with gift pokemon only :). Anyways this was a great video hope to see more!
Have you considered doing a hardcore nuzlocke but only with mons markiplier would smash? It would be hilarious lmao
Now this is meta
@@gabrielvanbockstaele1229 TRUE
Oh my god, yes and call it a Markiplier locke
@@FanOfAnimation Lockiplier
Please do this!!!
Calling Bruno a himbo was not the take I was ready for, but the take I needed.
Your nickname themes always kill me. Fantastic stuff! Been loving all of your content ever since I stumbled on it a few weeks ago, thank you for this great stuff. Really love the unique pools of Pokémon you restrict yourself to each run. Thank you for making this stuff!
HGSS Set and Gift Only with two HM Slaves is my favorite type of challenge.
Flygon HG's nuzlocke runs are how I fill my downtime
This is a run I started in Platinum but never finished due to other games being released, so I'm super excited to watch this!
I love these games so much, the aesthetics, the soundtrack... the gen 4 styles (these games + Platinum) are just so full of charisma ❤ amazing vid Flygon!
Oh, I'd love to see more of these! I find runs using only gift/no-catch Pokémon extremely fun to watch, so I'm glad you did a hardcore Nuzlocke with this theme!
LOVE the gift Pokémon run, it was my first “unique ruleset” Pokémon run I ever did, though I didn’t do it as a nuzlocke because that wasn’t really a thing back then. So much fun to see it done in this format
I've been watching a lot of youtube due to chronic pain keeping me from using my hands much, and I'm so glad I found your channel! Your content is super fun to watch. Thanks for keeping me entertained :)
Your humor is phenomenal and makes these very fun to watch all the way through lol
Hi Flygon! Big fan here :D
I would love to see you do a run with pokemons based only on a specific animal! We have a lot of 'bear' pokemons for example.
Keep up the good work!
That's a cool idea! Or maybe like "farm animals" or "pokemon that could be found in your area if they were real." For example I live in NC so i might have a team of Carnivine, Miltank/Taurus, Blaziken, Bibarel, so-on and so-on. I love ideas like that!
my favorite thing about flygonHG videos is he never mentions the nickname themes, just lets you figure it out yourself
I'm so happy to have found your channel, the hype I feel when I see a new upload is next to none
For once the starter gets to be on the team and not instantly banished
That ad on the beggining of the video was perfection. Before the start, right to the point and over in less than 5 seconds. You, sir, are a true proffesional and I wish more people monetized that way. Seriously underrated ad delivery, and that shit matters
:D
Your naming themes are always so on point. You’re a genius.
Amazing jifts run Flygon! That you for acknowledging the correct spelling and pronunciation of jift.
wow, the fight against Bruno was pretty intimidating! the last shot was so lucky, would have been horrible if the run would have to end at that stage!
Not sure how new it is, but I love the new intro card animation!
Going through hell with my chronic illness at the moment, your videos are such an entertaining past time when I'm completely out of commission. Thanks so much my guy ❤️
I love ur channel so much thanks for all the great videos!!
I think a challenge you can do would be what I call the monogen challenge in that you are only allowed to use pokemon introduced in that specific generation. You could probably do this in Johto to make it extremely challenging
Your videos are always a special piece of my Saturday, usually watch them while eating.
The scrips are soo good :)
I've been working on a simple video where I do a catchless run of each of the first three games and discuss how I see the game design changing using that as a lense, to dip my toe into pokemon videos/videos in general, so seeing this is pretty cool.
Was gonna watch your new vid before bed for relaxing purposes, but I ended up laughing so hard about the names that it completely got me over my sleep again. Thanks Dr. Flygon PS. My faves were Ganet and Gohn
Should've played on that one day in the year when there's no hail in the Red battle
Comedic irony is how you beat your rival with shuckie, the Pokémon he chose NOT to steal from the dude
I always wanted someone to do that thank you
I just started the video but i am sure I'll enjoy it
please do more challanges with such creative rules
I know you probably won't see this FlygonHG. But thanks to you, SilphSpectre, and Papasea that I have 99% recovered from my anxiety and depression. Kudos to you so much 👍
just wanna point out, when you were fighting Koga, against his muk after it runs out of Gunk shot, coulda hard switch to dragonair and just use dragon rush, since it does double damage to and will always hit minimized pokemon :)
I was wondering because I never heard of that mechanic, so I looked it up. It was added in the 6th Gen. ^^'
@@firebirdstar96 ah, good catch
Thanks for another fun video, helps me to calm down and relax after a long day. Keep up the good work!
Love seeing a HG locke go to Red!! Good work getting as close as you did!
Seeing you upload on your main channel as I watch your VODS is a great feeling!
How can someone have the patience to do this. This is awesome
"dont fuckie with shuckie" is gonna be my mantra for as long as i live
Found you through your map randomizer with smallant. Stayed for your nice voice and content.
Much love and keep up the good work!
That "Gift/Jift" line earned a sub lmao
Love your videos Flygon :)
I loved that ending as well. It was a good choice on your part to give Red a try and just ignore the level caps for Kanto! Entertaining as always, Fly!
Thanks for the videos! Love them all. Keep them up. Love the script and narrative ❤🥰
there's a delightful irony about you describing Primo's passwords as a "bot generated youtube comment" and seeing all the comparably nonsensical actual bot-generated youtube comments.
Id love to see you do a challenge run of the Pokemon used by Twitch plays Pokemon and see how their mons stack up against another set of game rules like a hardcore nuzlocke, it could be an amazing run
Gimothy was easily the late game MVP. Hitmonchan really glowed up after the physical attack/special attack split.
Not sure if others have mentioned it or not, but for fights against Red I'd say changing the date to the special ones (I don't remember them off hand, but they can be looked up pretty easily) to trigger the "Diamond Dust" weather rather than hail is fine since you're still having to battle Red anyways, just no stupid permanent hail
Hi Flygon, great job as usual! If you ever want to do a gifts only challenge again, I suggest Diamond and Pearl. You can only get 4 gift pokemon in those games, so it would be a bit tricky, but it would definitely be interesting to watch!
You know, on certain days, the hail on Mount Silver is turned into sparkling snow, which doesn't count as a hail effect in battle. It may be a little cheaty, but it could get you the win.
no one cares
ok
I am so happy that you upload! You make my homework grind so much better. Thank you FlygonHG!!! :)
Hey sweet, Feraligatr is my favorite pokemon and I never see it get used. Let's see if Totodile survives.
An early morning ✨gift✨ from Dr. FHG
HGSS is definitely the best gen for gift pokemon, looking forward to seeing the cool team you'll make by the end
Woah! I didn’t know Thunder hit Pokémon that used fly. You teach me something everyday FlygonHG.
I wish the actual games took this long to run through, love this style of commentary!
I would love to see more Pokemon x/y nuzlockes, they’re so much fun to watch
Eevee: *exists*
Pokemon collectors: "I could milk you"
Oh, I'm so glad I saw this early! Looking forward to this one Dr Flygon~ Love your content!
Catchy name for this sort of run: the Blanchelock. Because you've always depended on the kindness of strangers.
Gotta love how the "species clause" bit comes up even though it's completely irrelevant to the challenge!
NEW VIDEO JUST IN TIME FOR MY DAY OFF
As soon as I saw Totodile's nickname I knew it was gonna be a good ride.
I remember my first playthrough of Heartgold, I had used Togepi in my team. I had like beat Morty's Gengar with it while it was Level 5, and I don't think it ever fainted either. However, since I was more interested in hyper-offensive teams at the time, I did the same with Togetic, giving it Fly and I think Rock Smash if it can learn it, which yeah, in hindsight, not the smartest move.
Well, this was another awesome video!
Awesome!
I love your videos mate. Keep em up
I remember doing this challenge. it was really fun
This is sick idea bruh also I used Kenya when I originally played SS and after I beat Red I finally gave it back as like a level 60 fearow😂
