- It's time for another Pokemon challenge! Bug types are known as being one of the weakest in the series... but what if we found the game with the lowest number of encounters? Let's see if Bug types can prove their worth!

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 LeafGreen 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.

First
@Anna I didnt know that 😨
Challenge runner
Entertaining video and good job on the run!
How about trying LeafGreen with only Ground Types? Should be even harder(might allow day care).
I feel for you when lady luck came to see you at the end.
Should have just named the bulbasaur "bugbasaur", to preserve the integrity of the run.
Bulbugsaur.

Thats so sad im sorry to hear that
*You laughed at butterfree.......Now it quiver dances in your blood*
I really needed this after a brutal study session
Always the best, Silph
Good luck
You got this!
That Blaine strategy was pure fire
💪🔥
Bro beating a pokemon game with the most abandoned pokemon type is crazy . I could hardly imagine it. But great strategy and great video😉😉
I actually have been thinking of some ways to give the Bug Type some more power. I was thinking giving them a type advantage over Ground types and make Bug Type moves super effective against Ground. And removing some of the resistances to bugs. Ghost? Fairy? Poison? These don't make much sense to resist Bug. We could also give Bug Type a resistance to water. But I'm not sure.
Yeah man I mean bugs have got much better since gen 3 but they're still pretty weak overall
I love bug type.
Gen 5’s bugs were pretty strong, so I think black and white along with black 2 and white 2 might be the best games to do a bug nuzlocke.
@@mr.tadpole1697 no
Those speed EVs on Butterfree totally saved this run cause Beedrill would have gotten completely squished, well played 😊
Love how this bug type(my favorite) run seemed easier than the others, despite bug type being weaker than most other types.
i also did a fire red bug only challenge recently with hardcore nuzlocke rules and parasect was actually really good in my run as it came in clutch with a few quick claw spores and it was amazing against misty as well cant wait to see how good it is in your run
Did you win your run?? :o
Ok, nobody cares
@@Notconceitedjustbetterthanyou So nice of you to say... -3-'

I always knew ab compound eyes Butterfree, but never knew Pinsir was so OP with such a big move set. That was impressive. Could have easily been a zero death run with different luck.
It's hilarious how insanely huge Pinsir's moveset got by the remakes cuz in gen 1, it was complete fucking trash. Where it only got toxic, rest and normal/fighting moves, not even earthquake or dig or something.
Lots of inventive strats in this run, which I really respect. The Blaine strat in particular was genius, and I loved seeing it come to fruition.
Went to go do the dishes and forgot to pause the video during a battle-
“Shit! I left the Silph on!”
Silphspectre: *Writing a video title*
Capslock: I am turned on

Correction
Caps lock: I AM TURNED ON

I don’t remember the last time I got so hooked on a CZcams Channel. I’ve seen every video in a span of like 3 days. Thanks for all this content!
Silph: " Tombstony WTF."
The reason (I think) the Machamp used 4x resisted cross chop in the Bruno fight is because trainers in gen 3 always have a small chance to use moves with a high crit rate, like cross chop, regardless of the type effectiveness
Silph and Flygon are my two favourite pokemon content creators :)
Mine is antler boy live and andrew collete show
Same
They’re both so good at narrating and extremely detailed with nuzlockes.
The only hardcore nuzlockers i watch is flygonhg silphspectre pokemon challenges andrew collete show and antlerboylive
@@ayushrana6574 antlerboy is the best 🤭
Prediction: He wins. SilphSpectre never loses.
I thought it was a Rick roll lol
He lost his pokemon sapphire poison type hardcore nuzlocke
Didn’t he do a dark types in Emerald and lose? Or am I thinking of FlygonHG?
@@jacobwhelan45 Flygon HG did gen 5.
@@joel2628 yes
Silph's Venomoth must have hit Sleep Powder without missing so often in this run, he mistook it's ability as Compoundeyes, when in reality, Venomoth's ability is Shield Dust
Silph taking me back to Kanto! Love it
Why are you spamming this link
You are a brave soul for doing a Kanto mono Bug type challenge, cuz Gen 1 has by far the weakest selection of them.
You even chose the one without Scyther, the actual best of the Bug types in Kanto in Gen 3.
@@iantaakalla8180 pinsir better
YES here we go. I love challenge runs involving bugs especially in kanto where your options are so insanely limited. This’ll be good!
Love these vids Silph. This one was waaay longer than I thought it would be with the bug team
The strategy of using Rain Dance against Blaine was beyond words... You deserve a subscription just for coming up with that!
i’ve watched all of your hardcore nuzlockes in 3 days i need more 😭i love these!!
I just recently found your channel and subscribed after watching the first video! I have watched every single nuzlocke you have done and have been so eager to see you post a new one! Great commentary great jokes great content! So happy for this one and bug types are my absolute favorite!
Speaking of this, i attempted a bug hardcore nuzlocke of emerald, and after a total of 30 resets after the first gym(i didnt even count the amount of attempts it took to beat roxanne each time), i decided it might be impossible, would love to see someone else try it tho
a poketuber called zwiggo managed to do this challenge with a single death
Man, after yesterday's heartbreaking Pearl stream it's nice to see a happy ending (aside from a few close calls). Keep up the great work!
it went so well i didn’t even realize u had beaten the last gym until u said “it’s time for the elite four”.. kudos man!
that rain dance just for blaine really death saver there haha. overalll really smooth until final gratz
That was Incredible seeing such a powerful bug type team. I especially loved Beedrill almost sweeping Lorelei and Venomoth with almost everyone else. Never saw that in a million years!
Three things: I'd love to know what the heck that Sitrus Berry noise was for. And "Look to the left of this sign!" means your character's left. And finally: Love the dry delivery of "Lapras simp." Wasn't expecting that.
These videos are amazing man!! I love the challenges but the humor keeps me coming back, good stuff
Yay! A new hardcore nuzlocke video! These are so good! Keep the great work up silph! Love it
Always look forward to your videos! This is my favourite series
I actually used a Paras/Parasect in FireRed. I remember catching one because I hadn't caught a new team member in a while. For most of the run she wasn't the best, but I remember being so glad at having her for Bruno. Having her for Solar Beaming his two Onix was so sweet.
I used it leaf green. I remember spending a while just trying to catch one without killing it and wanting it to be level 14.
parasect is one of my favorite pokemon. wish it would get something to make it better but i always got one in firered no matter what
Love these vids! Keeps these old games alive and hits the nostalgia in all the right spots. Keep doing you!
Dude you're the best. I cant wait for ur vids and stuff man
Silph, there are tons of nuzlockers, but you deliver the goods everytime above and beyond. Well done sir, well done.
As always great video, great comedy and great strategy appreciate all you do for us man 🙏🏻
First video of yours I've seen and really first nuzlocke video too. Really enjoyed it. Is trading against the rules of the challenge? Seems like a big disadvantage not to bring in Scyther in order to make a full team since there is so few bug types. Still great job and awesome strategizing. Subbed.
It's amazing to see the growth of so many poketubers due to these kind of nuzlockes so keep up the work dude also any plans for early streams?
It's always nice seeing Pinsir carrying a nuzlocke.
Bugs and ice are the ones of mine that just die ohko even when not super effective.
So good for you being able to do what would be impossible for me.
Your voice overs are hilarious - happy to boost the infamous algorithm and let you know
I’ve done this exact nuzlock run before. It was my first one I did with only a specific type. Super hard but fun. Can’t wait to see how you did with this, especially with Blaine. He was super annoying for me
Been on a binge of these videos.
Got to say, I think Pinsir over Scyther cause you chose LeafGreen saved your ass since Pinsir has way better bulk, coverage, and isn't 4x weak to Rock. Pinsir (at least before its Mega) is seen as just a poor man's Heracross, but you did him some justice here, and its especially surprising since he gets no STAB in this game IIRC.
Over the years of playing these games, I have really developed love for all the creepy crawly mons throughout the generations. They always find ways to surpise as I tend to carry my mandatory early bug with me all the way to the end of the games. Just something that my young self started that I am glad I never grew out of.
Always nice to have these to watch after work
And fortunately, there were no deaths until the final battle either (though there were several close calls), the only battle where playing a little more recklessly is viable and can pay off.
Silph I love your big type hardcore nuzlockes! They are amazing
I remember at least one Bug Catcher NPC from Pokemon Stadium that had a Bulbasaur on his team, I guess of the three starters it is the most fitting because it fits right at home in the woods where Bug Catchers often hang out.
I’ve always loved bug types glad your run proved their supreme greatness!!!
Been patiently waiting your next challenge. Thumbs up man.
Been waiting for this one from you!
Awesome strategizing as always. I would expect nothing less from the pioneer of the true power of Pokemon!
Love these Hardcore Nuzlockes! Keep up the great work!
I had the problem of losing to anything above level 2 when I was doing my pseudo legendary challenge. My Dratini only had wrap and leer until level 8 where it got thunder wave. I had to get up to level 15 before I had any chance against Brock.
Commenting so you can beat that algorithm. Great video as always
That Blaine strategy was crazy, I was wondering how he'd be even remotely possible but wow
The sign that's talking about looking to the left of that post is referencing the hidden item in the empty spot in the fence to the right of the sign.
I got sick last night and had a rough night of sleep, when I saw this video, I immediately felt better. I accidentally fell asleep on the first watch because I was finally able to… but hey, they video kept going so that’s good for the algorithm, right? Thanks for all that you do man. Keep it up!
Let's go! The return of 'All Terrain Venomoth', destroying Agatha this time.
Silph with the Jake Macaulay reference. Badass move, man. Love the video. Lol!
Seriously between this, the hardcore heart gold nuzlocke, Bugsy winning the Jhoto true power tournament, and Jeff the legendary spiniark; Silph makes the bug type look damn near unstoppable.
Okay, you got me with that Paras called Hilton. Solid pun.
Pinsir MVP for this run! Pity it was almost a deathless one too!
Still great run as always!
Silph’s videos are always amazing!
Thanks so much man, you keep up the great work as well! 🙌
@@SilphSpectre Thanks Silph! I sure will. Only as long as you keep posting such motivating content for the rest of us to look up to;)😁
Your nuzlockes are SO GOOD MAN! Much love
Im always listening to your nuzzlocke challenge every night it makes me fall sleep. .
Dont take it the wrongway but your voice really sound relaxing. .
And when i fall asleep it means no skips on ads. .
Wow Silph, very fun this challenge! I have to say, from gen 3 on Pokemon natures is one of the great features of the versions! It really makes it way more fun!
Venonat has compoundeyes which once it evolves doesn’t carry over to venomoth. It gets shield dust as it’s ability.
Hahaha, 11/3, my man! This was shocking to see! Deathless until the champ, and even then, a couple misplays cost you a couple members. Pretty surprising, to be honest. Good work.
Love love love your editing. It's so good.
These videos are my go-to for a relaxation sesh!
Your videos inspired me to do my first Hardcore Nuzlocke ever, and it was my most amazing experience with a Pokemon game ever! Thank you so much
So close to not losing a pokemon either! Really enjoyes your videos since starting to watch you. Keep up the great work. I'm currently trying to nuzlocke sword with bug types and it is difficult
You mad funny bro on that part when you use parasite against Raichu. Keep up the success on your channel.
14:26 love this bit.
Just heard about your channel. Got addicted and couldnt stop watching your nuzlockes. Please keep it up!
pinsir was done so dirty in the early generations, good stats but no stab moves :( fun run man
Heck yeah time for my favorite type! Excited for this, I’ll predict a win!
That was amazing despite the very limited Bug Type options you managed to get a almost deathless run.
I absolutely love your videos! I look forward to watching them every week.
The crazy part is I was almost expectin a deathless run but nope had my hopes crushed again
Waking up to new nuzlockes to watch is one of the BEST ways to wake up 😊
Always enjoy watching your uploads silph even have my wife watching your challenge videos now lol
Man this was really exciting specially the last battle
Nice :-) bug types are my favorite so it’s great to see them used!
Gotta love when sunday roles around!!!
Good run! Think you could have gone deathless if used bulk up on Pinsir vs. Pidgeot against Blue. Oh well
Finally! Love these videos every week
Paras Hilton... I laughed way too hard there
I think you and Scott's thoughts would make a great video together. You're both funny and make pokemon challenges interesting to watch
also, paras and parasect are unexpectedly useful if you are doing mono bug or mono grass, since they get great coverage moves. especially with grass, where paras/parasect's teammates may not gain access to types like dark and flying.
Excellent Video! I always enjoy watching your nuzlockes. Take care!
Well done on that run! Not even any KOs. I found a shiny Paras and used her on my main team in Let’s Go, and she was awesome. I’ll always look kindly on Paras now. 😀
33:27 using rock slide on this and the next turn was a bit risky, if bulk up was used it would have guarenteed that aerial ace would not kill (without crit) and you would be able to deal enough damage the turn after to kill. Good job though, very fun and exciting run overall.
That was a really impressive run, Silph. :)
