CAN I BEAT A POKÉMON HEARTGOLD HARDCORE NUZLOCKE WITH ONLY BUG TYPES!? (Pokémon Challenge)

- It's time for another Pokemon challenge! HeartGold with only Bug types sounded like a really fun idea since it's the weakest type by base stats, so here's my attempt. HeartGold is an amazing game and an even better remake, so let's do this!
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 HeartGold Hardcore Nuzlocke with only Bug types?

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 trading/importing Pokémon, Items, etc.

Love your channel! Keep up the great work dude :D
Silph, these hardcore nuzlocke videos are absolutely awesome, and I adore the gen 3, 4, and 5 games. Haven’t enjoyed watching CZcams this much since the true power tournament!
What about the Kanto side out of curiosity?
The moral of the story: Don't fuckle with Shuckle.
Funny
If you fuckle with the shuckle you will be fuckled by the shuckle
You made my day, thank you for existing
The struggle is real

@@artkuzon2706 Sad life you must have
Him: it took 120 headbutts to get herecross
Me: that poor ratata! It probably has almost no brain or head left!
Underrated
I usually headbut a particular tree and multiple nozlockes heracross has been my first find.
i really didn't think of that, the rattata is dead so we should just count it as a death
Me staring at the Heracross I just got after 7 headbutts next to Bugsy's gym
MY GRANDMOTHER.
16:52 The man gives you a Shuckle because he is afraid your rival will come back to kidnap it. Your rival actually steals his Sneasel from that man.
Source?
•_•
Wait whaat
Yo ive been alive for ever and never knew tht thank u
How'd he get a Sneasel in Johto?
39:25
YES, _the dragon slayer strikes back_
AATTVV
AATTVV's legacy continues!
ur everywhere in the video,s i watched
Before starting to watch this video, just wanted to remind everyone that Bugsy swept everyone on the Johto True Power Tournament
I've only done 1 nuzlocke, Bugsy stopped me from becoming a nuzlocke master :'v
This is THEE comment!
Never forget
We will never forget.
Good for them! *kisses Bugsy*
Watching a venomoth take out 3 dragonite in a row was extremely satisfying to watch
"Speaking of my grandmother, spinerak evoles"
What do those two things have to do with each other!?
Ariados is a spider. Spiders weave webs. Grandmas sew. Yeah
Yeah. And grinding on route 38?!
I think he was linking it to the ghost type gym and not the evolution
because he said it would be very helpful for the ghost type gym leader
@@elliotw.888 Honestly no one asked
Yanmega was the Pokémon design that caused me to re-evaluate bug types and now they’re one of my favorites.
Poison and Bug are my favorite types
Personally I would say that it was either escavalier or scolipede are bug Pokemon that did that for me.
Heracross will forever have a place on my team. Ever since I found one in Emerald, it's been a go-to.
@@jonnylawless6797 Scyther for me. I think it's so cute.
My top 3 are bug, poison, and then dark. Dragon is probably 4th but thats because I just love dragons in general. My favorite bug is Scoilipede, Poison is a tie between seviper and arbok (because I love snakes so much) and dark is Murkrow. For dragon, I love the dieno line, especially dieno because the cute and Hydrigon because of the power and design, its just really annoying to get because it evolves at lvl 64
Venomoth: *Kills Lance's Dragonites*
Me: *TPP flashbacks*
ATV was the first thing I thought of haha!
SilphSpectre: "On Route 29 we have our first act of kindness; Lyra gives us some Poke-balls!"
Prof. Elm who gave him a starter, Prof. Oak who gave him a Pokedex, the old man who gave him a tour of town and free running shoes, his mom who volunteered to be a free bank service and a bunch of others that I'm probably forgetting: "Why are we still here- just to suffer?"
When all of those helpful NPCs form the Pokémon equivalent of the Diamond Dogs:
You had a perfectly good opportunity to call this the Buzzlocke
Is no one gonna talk about how Butterfree managed to survive all the way through this nuzlocke? The mad lad was there from the start
"Complete"
Red: Am I a joke to you
seems like you're the only other person that thought why didn't he go on to challenge Red???
This looks like an absolute nightmare, I'm concerned about your sanity sometimes with these runs

Wait... Floofy is the same underleveled Venomoth that beat Lance's Dragonite in Pokemon Twitch?
ATV's little brother
@@megabladechronicles962 Yes... I know he has a family!
I thought the same
Atvs son
It's destiny
Fast Balls work better on mons with base 100 speed or higher. Yanma’s is around 95 unfortunately
Wait dont quick balls do that and fast balls are better when you do it on the first turn?
@@ActualTrash8 you got them reversed
@@alenrodriguez8211 oh
all i got are heavy balls fam.
For one of your next hardcore nuzlockes, try Ice types only. Most generations will make this one very difficult and probably very interesting. I'd say gen 4 has some interesting options for dual ice types.
YES, ice types only would be a CHALLENGE
But aren't most Ice types locked to almost the final stages of the game? The first ones that came to mind were the Ice Path in Johto and the Shoal Cave in Hoenn
@@yukarimi3224 yeah i suppose i can't think of a good way to obtain any ice types early game
If there were to be an Ice-type challenge, it would have to be in Black or White (because of Vanillish), X or Y (because of Amaura and Lapras) or Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon (because of Smoochum and Lapras and Seel and Crabombinable). I would say Sword and Shield because you can get a large variety of Ice-type Pokémon , but getting your Ice types from there will involve Dynamax Adventures and a few Wild Areas and all those Pokémon are at high levels. I guess you could try for a Snover or a Vanillite in the non-DLC Wild Areas, but even then that’s two Pokémon until just before the sixth gym.
That being said, since the universal randomizer works on X and Y and also Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, you can give yourself an Ice-type as a starter.
@@moose4134 yea, i think you'd actually need to pick a starter and hack it in.
Kingdra as it crits silph "trust no one, not even yourself"
The trainers in Jasmine's gym were also in the lighthouse. You already fought them, which is why only Jasmine remains.
13:30
“Speaking of my grandmother, Spinarak evolved” is one of the weirdest connecting sentences I’ve ever heard
unpopular opinion: bug types have some amazing designs.
edit: my favorites are scolipede, illumise, phermosa, scizor AND LEAVANNY. leavanny is like my 6th favorite pokémon.
This isn't a unpopular opinion really
Yeah they do
Scizor top 5 favorite pokemon for me
Gen one bug catchers are proud
@@nero7862 same
“We have some limitations” (no Ledian)
I wouldn’t call that a limitation 😂
@@jalvarez8941 dies in one hit in the late game and never has time to set up
Holy smokes! I'm so looking forward to this! A full bug team sounds interesting. I'm loving your challenges :D
Man seeing Floofy do that brought me back to TPP and AATTVV taking out Lance's Dragonite.
Your heracross has the based nature.
Karate chopped miltank while charmed.
Best nature.
"Mother didn't raise no simp" - Heracross probably
Well that heracross has a sigma mindset lol
Yanmegas move pull is shallow,so its honestly underwhelming,since if he had a better move pull,he couldve been a reliable fast,sp atk sweeper since each turn it increases speed with speed boost.
Venomoth beating Lance’s Dragonite brings back memories of Twitch Plays Pokémon.
I'm surprised you chose Cyndaquil I thought you'd choose chikorita so silver would have cyndaquil to make the challenge even insane
i mean its easy to say when you are not doing it
The bug only rules made this more than hard enough bro lol
I think Butterfree can take on Quilava, but no one can hurt Typhlosion until he gets Shuckle
just in case anyone was wondering, heracross is always lvl 3-5 in hgss so if you find a tree that has spearow or aipom that are lvl 6-8, heracross won't be found there. I think silph also said they can only be found on rt 33 but that's not true, I found mine in azalea town and I believe there's one more place as well... anyway, these videos are always so enjoyable and I hope you all have a lovely day :)
What a coincidence, I just started one of these on my own the other day, and im at the second city right now!
@@haaazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Yea butterfree is lowkey carrying me atm, spinarak and paras are trash compared to it, Compound eyes sleep powder is really good at this point of the game
Best of luck Zack! Keep me posted on your progress & team
@@haaazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Damn that sucks, I think sleep powder butterfree will do fine against the gym, since im pretty sure it 4x resists uturn from scyther
@@SilphSpectre Preciate it! I’ll see what you do in this video when i watch it in about 30 minutes after church service is over, and i’ll see how you beat bugsy
@@haaazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Unless quick attack crits me, i should be able to sleep powder and 2 hit K.O with gust from butterfree, but you never know 🤷♂️. i’ll let you know how it goes
The fire and flying type gym- UNLIMITED POWER
The physic type gym- im too weak!
Amazing run! Bug types are my fav and the Spinarak line is tied with the Joltik line as my fav Pokémon, so seeing Jeffrey put in work was a big dopamine rush! Truly, you make the Buggernaut proud.
I mean, Venomoth has a reputation these days for being the Dragon Slayer
I've been enjoying your nuzlocke content as I have been running through a HGSS hardcore nuzlocke as my first ever nuzlocke, it's been quite the challenge. Having your videos has gotten me through a ton of grind sessions. Keep it up brother!
Damn, that was both amazing as pretty brutal occasionally! I wasn't expecting Butterfree to do so amazingly though, nice run man! Always excited for your runs! ^^
Seems like you're really enjoying these HC Nuzlockes Silph, its nice to see such frequent uploads!
Ahh another amazing video as always. Seriously this and the True Power Tournament have given me a new love and respect for the bug type.
venomoth, the dragon slayer has once again destroyed lance's dragonite
I've literally been waiting for a new video to come out. Thanks for all the great content.
I’ve been doing the masuda method recently and I often watch these videos while I’m doing that as they’re engaging and fun, so I just wanna say thanks :)
Ah yes “oh speaking of my grandmother spinarak evolved”
Silph on Sundays always a joy
You killed Lances charazard with a Shuckle, wow 👏🏽👏🏽
this is my first time being relatively early for a video, this is awesome!
just wanted to say i love your content, im a new subscriber but ive been binge watching your videos while i work on art- you're narrating is so well written and i enjoy watching these challenges!. u inspired me to pick up a nuzlocke again with my friend and ive been having so much fun :D
hope youre having a good one! Thanks for the great content
Comments are Infinitely good for the CZcams algorithm.
P.S. - this challenge seems very tough.
Congratulations on 80k subscribers
I’m absolutely loving this series so far. Keep it up!
Great video Silph, my favorite game with one of my favorite types. I did think that Lance's outrage might have caught you at the end but well played. Looking forward to the next one.
Nice to see a hardcore nuzlocke. Comments are still good for the youtube algorithm
What an amazing run, the bug types really surprised me
5:32 never thought I would hear someone having a hard time against a Beedrill, I get why but I still never thought I would hear that
Recently found your channel and have watched all your challenges this past week love these
One of my favorite channels for sure
Thanks Quincee!! That's a huge compliment and your support means a lot :D
Dude went into Lance without detect, that was a big mistake lol
I'm sorry but the juxtaposition of losing foretress and shuckles uselessness and sprite at @26:00 had me dying! great video!
Lance's Dragonites: I fear no Pokemon. But that thing...
Floofy:
Lance's Dragonites: It scares me.
Jeffrey: I'm somewhat of a clown myself.
I love your commentary during these types of videos. Keep it up!
I love these videos so much man! You are my favourite poketuber by far!
Unpopular opinion: Bug types have some of the best designs and has a lot of good pokemon
As everyone else has been saying I love your vids too
I love your username and profile pic lol :D
Great video Man! i love this challenge, i wanted to try it too, i did a poison tipe nuzlocke and got the usual OP venomoth that we all love. About this i wanted to tell you that after you reach 4th gym, even without the badge, you can get to lake rage, there you can catch venonath at a low level with pretty good moves. at the same point you can also get girafarig, if you do a solo psychic type it could be useful to know.
Thoroughly entertained throughout the whole vid. Great job!
Silph have you always used hardcore nuzlocke rules in your runs or did Jan "Pokemon Challenges" inspire your ruleset? Just curious, love your vids keep up the good work.
Just a note Pokemon Challenges did not invent the "Hardcore nuzlocke" all he did was give it the name.
@@amparolopez6236 Thanks I'm aware. Maybe you disagree but I definitely think he's the one popularizing them more now than ever. I don't think it's a coincidence that he and hardcore nuzlockes are blowing up in tandem right now and the last few months.
Well, here’s a first.
A Johto challenge that doesn’t go all the way to Red.
Really puts into perspective how awful the level curve in this game is.
Between these and the true power series you're one of the best pokemon channels hands down. keep it up
Nice run man! Pity you lost Yanmega earlier... I really wanted to see how it would have performed!
But man that ending with Venomoth... erm Floofy beating the last 2 Dragonites was damn good!
Could you maybe do one with fire types, my favourite type of them all?
Woop! Automatic watch, as always. Any plans to play through a Drayano hack, like Renegade Platinum? A hardcore nuzlocke might be hard for one of them, so maybe a regular nuzlocke?
Hey Josh! Thanks for the support my friend. Rom hacks are definitely in the future; there are some intriguing things we can do with them for sure :)
Flutter the Butterfree was my favorite to watch during your playthrough, however that Floofy caught be by surprise!!!!
I just subbed yesterday keep up the good work
Would really love to see these kinds of nuzzlock on rom hack games like renegade platinum and Storm silver
Don’t have to force jokes my guy, your runs are interesting as is.
a butterfree getting a fly damage boost from a big beak while making a gust of wind, love it
What a great video! I love love these challenges.
Where's red
Because he’s afraid of getting a dot dot dot.
Yanma be like: *Fast as fu** *boi*
That run was INTENSE, thinking on doing a bug monotype run myself
Actually, your video is the first nuzlocke played on HGSS I've seen on YT, nice played dude!
"without that crit we had a good chance of going through deathless"
Meanwhile, poor Forretres is already pretty dead and forgotten.
Poor Walnut
FORRETRESS IS SUPPOSED TO END WITH 2 S'S!
first I LOVE UR VIDS
Sliph: 1 found heracross by headbutting
120 times...
Me: found hercross by headbutt 4 times
Every time I played HGSS I can get a Heracross headbutting directly behind Kurts house within 10 headbutts
My man your nuzlockes are a banger. Hopefully you will reach 100K subs soon
Bug types are incidentally my favorite. Ninjask is my fav (tied with Crobat) and I love Forretress and Heracross, Scizor, etc. They just look so cool!!
Bug Pokémon are super underrated . Bug is one of the best types in the whole game . Everyone just sleeps on them
What an insane run, I loved this so much
Definitely one of my favorite videos of yours. Love me some bug types
New to the channel. Really liking the hardcore challenges. Keep up the work
Great video didn't think I'd watch it all but i love bug types and HGSS so It caught my attention all the way through.
Silph! I fucking love you man no homo. You always make me laugh and I’m so addicted I can’t stop watching your videos. I’ve literally watched every single one and I’m so lucky that you upload frequently. Keep up the awesome work man! Can’t get enough!!
Working my way through the series! Enjoying it really well
This is my fav nuzlock, and after watching it like 3 times NOW I get the "speaking of my grandmother" reference, jeez going against a ghost type gym cold as ice
Finally got around to watching this and let me say it’s really been a crazy play through!! Also big congrats on the 90K subs at this rate you’ll hit 100K before the end of the year
25:20
Noooo!!! I love forretress so I am so sad. R.I.P walnut
Dude, this was posted on my birthday! Awesome!!
It's like Shuckle is willing all of these deaths to make sure it makes it on the team.
I was waiting for this to show up in my sub feed!
Love ure Channel saw it a few days ago and i love u and ur Content keep going ✌️
40:27 heracros and ariados having a litle fun back there on the hall of fame
HERACROSS IS SUPPOSED TO END WITH 2 S'S!
