Pokemon HeartGold can be a tough game... but can we beat a Hardcore Nuzlocke of it with a type that's NEVER been done before and which has a ridiculous amount of weaknesses? These are my favorite remakes ever, so let's find out!
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 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 trading/importing Pokémon, Items, etc.

Here we go - it's time to rock out in HeartGold! Random thought, but I can't believe Legends Arceus comes out next month... what types of videos do you think we'll be able to make for it?
Huge shout out to the team at Khimyra by the way, who have supported the channel bigtime and allowed me to get more videos to you guys! Which of their graphic tees is your fave? 👀 www.khimyra.com/
Would love a Let’s play for the new game
For Legends Arceus it'd be cool to have a nuzlocke that also ends when the trainer faints, as the player can take damage
Have you considered doing another Poison type run? Considering how the last one ended they deserve some redemption, maybe Platinum would be good given the list of good options like Roserade, Crobat, Drapion, Haunter, Dustox, Toxicroak and Tentacruel. It’s also quite a challenging game with challenging bosses including a Steel gym, Ground and Psychic Elite Fours
Hmmmmmmm let’s see maybe you can do a run using only the new Pokémon that were introduced..you got some great offers
A Hisuian nuzlocke would be sick
Whitney getting Metronome 4x 120 power Seed Flare is such a Whitney thing
"you're a little smaller than expected, but i guess you'll do"
this hits way too close to home
It's about the motion of the ocean brother
It’s not the size it’s how you use it
Big things cum in small boxes king 👑
It's not about size but how you use it.
@@KoopaXross what you gonna do, turn it into a balloon animal?
26:15 "Looking ahead to the Kingdra we have to face, I am _petrified_ ."
I see what you did there. That was a pretty _solid_ pun. I'd even say it _rocked_ .
I don’t get it
@@bragcamera928 "Petrified" means "transformed into rock" in a literal sense, since it comes from "petra", which is Latin for "rock". :)
I don’t think he even knew what he did there 😂
Always love when silph uploads. Rock is a good example of a double edged sword, very powerful offensive but weak to pretty much all common types. Can't wait to see what's next!
And it’s sting against the best type in the game
*bug*
Ice is the king of double edged swords tbh. Literally the definition of glass canon
@@utsavnayakxii-c8731 I don’t thing ice is even worth is because it only works as a fast typing but a lot of ice types are slow and bulky
@@luiginumbers6268 Yeah. But ice types have some poster boys like Weavile (the best answer to Cynthia's Garchomp)
@@utsavnayakxii-c8731 yeah that’s a good example
But being weak to common types like fighting fire and especially steel (another dragon counter) doesn’t help it at all
I love all these nicknames. I guess that's what I get for being a fan of classic rock.
For reference:
Benetar: Pat Benatar
Jett: Joan Jett
Geddy: Geddy Lee from Rush
Adler: Steven Adler from Guns n Roses
Patti: Patti Smith, I'm pretty sure?
Cobain: Kurt Cobain from Nirvana
Hammett: Kirk Hammett from Metallica
Joplin: Janis Joplin
Jimi: Jimi Hendrix
Bonham: John Bonham from Led Zeppelin
yeah i think it's Patti Smith too, only other one i can think of is Patti LaBelle and she's disco. these nicknames both made me smile and made me realise how old i am xD great choices Silph
I caught on when I finally comprehended he named one of them Benatar
Adler could’ve been referencing Chris Adler of Lamb of God.
@@skeetermania3202 true. I didn't know where he was, the last band I remember him being in was Megadeth. I just thought Steven Adler was more well-known
Interestingly enough, you can actually get a Geodude on Route 46 right above Route 29. I don't know of any other Rock-type encounters there, but eh.
That's the only one
Yeah, that’s where I got one in my HeartGold Nuzlocke, is right above the first route.
See I was second guessing myself for a minute before commenting the same. Glad I'm not the only guy who knows this game abit too well 👌
Yeah, I was going to suggest that he should've gotten it there instead so he could get Shuckle sooner, but it turns out that Shuckle are only available in Dark Cave after getting Rock Smash in GSC (where Rock Smash isn't available until after you've watered Sudowoodo), not in HGSS.
it's also that way in original silver
People seem to forget that Red's team isnt really that good, it's just the sheer level difference he usually has against you to why he is so difficult.
Yeah, hell if you've got a good team then you can beat him relatively easily even in the mid to low level 60s.
Yeah the person who catches every legendary before fighting red...
there's also the fact half of red's team knows blizzard to take advantage of mt silver's perma-hail, but using a diff weather move makes it so blizzard may miss, rendering half his team somewhat useless(if they ever go for blizzard)
I defeated him with a level 70 Typhlosion and a level 70 Lanturn
Really.. It's just so easy for me
i defeated him with a max sp attack and max speed choice specs eruption typlosion with sun
The Clefairy pulling off Metronome into Seed Flare and annihilating Jett made me laugh so hard. Amazing. xD
I really want to see an Ice type, i think that would be a real challenge. I don't know which game would have the most encounters
Sword & shield for sure
True id love to see one i guess alot of nuzlockers dont go for it since you encounter ice types pretty late in most games
aside from swsh, BW2 undoubtedly
Nice! Johto is just the best! But the metronome luck was just not fair.
How about a ground type run in Kanto? Let's go or leaf green, but I actually, I'd love to see a yellow run :)
Gen I is simply too poorly programmed and luck based to be eligible for Hardcore Nuzlockes with limited encounters
@@skotiaH2O lets go then
Ground type would be too easy as you can sweep with nidoking
@@rogue3724 well, usually it's done by using x items, which are not allowed in nuzlocks :)
Never knew you could get Larvitar before Mt.Silver!
I love when you do Nuzlockes in HeartGold and SoulSilver :D I'm excited for this one! Thank goodness for that notification bell!
Amen to dat
Btw I'm a rocker at heart and I loved the names, recognized all of them, also great strategy against Claire!!
I am a fellow metal head and and also personally LOVED the names
notice how Cobain is the strongest mon on his team
@@themagmatrap1147 Based Silph
The first great challenge for Red was Brocks Rock types, I can't help but feel that the next great trainer over coming HIM with a team of Rock types is somewhat poetic
Actually, you’re confusing Origins’s Red with Canonical Red. Canonically, Red started with Bulbasaur.
@@RedDragonForce2 If your talking about the adventures manga, then yes. But I'd also like to point out that Red didn't use Bulbasuar in his match against Brock, only Pikachu, because Saur and Poli were worn-out from fighting the gym trainers. So, yes, still a challenge.
I know this may seem a bit deep but I think its about time I say it,, thank you for making my life better. I cant explain how much these make my weeks better
You’re not alone!
Nothing like a relaxing Silph video
Same here.
These always reminded me of being younger and watching Pokémon youtubers
Same
0:56 We all know that Shuckle is the coolest among the Rock Type Pokemons
Good old Shuckle. Yeah, Shuckle.
Tyranitar in the thumbnail gives me instant high school flashbacks.
Everyone in my class had a different three stage evolution as we went through school, mine was the Larvitar line.
Named after Kurt Cobain, no less. Fitting, Smells Like Teen Spirit.
Wow a run with only rock types? I guess it's safe to assume that you had a hard time
You ain’t slick sir LOL!
Love seeing metronome clefairy destroy pokemon in nuzlocks
I enjoy all of Silph's content, but Rock-types are my favourite type since way back in Gen 2 when I had a Golem and Tyranitar on the same team. Good times.
I just love how a lot of pokemon player’s favorite type is mostly depended upon what they used back in their childhood, like my favorite type is ground because i had a swampert and a rhyhorn that would decimate like everything
My favourite type is Rock, as well. Not because I used two Rock-Types in Gen 2 but in Gen 5, with Black being my very first Pokemon game ever. You might be a bit older than me😅
@@theminorgentOof, that smarts. Which 2 Rock-types if you don't mind me asking?
Gotta say that your jokes and humor are something i need in my life, Thank you silph.
I have binge watched every single one of these monotype runs (except the bdsp ones bc i’m playing it rn lol) in a couple days. I love monotype runs in general and I love the depth and speed at which you go through your whole journey. Perfect vids to listen to on the side and then watch again to actually watch to. Playing SP rn listening. I love it!
Corsola low key put in work. I totally didn't expect it to learn shadow ball.
I love how every pokemon other than one that died immediately had their worst possible natures. And, well, Larvitar could have been worse I suppose.
That one time Corsola is actually useful in a playthrough.
Always good to see a run in a classic region with my favorite mons. Great choice, Silph! Though I'm surprised you didn't go for the Geodude on the early access Route 46 or make the trade for Onix in Violet City. Genius move using the Safari Zone though, I'll have to remember that in the future. Thanks for all your hard work, I love watching your runs. I hope the next one is a Dark-type team so I can see Houndoom in play!
The rollout on Claire 😂
Loved the naming theme! Especially Geddy. I feel like Rush is so underrated nowadays
More 6th Gen runs pls!! Maybe XY or ORAS with all the mons that could mega evolve (but no mega evolution ofc).
Also would live to see you try a rom hack (Blaze Black or Renegade platinum) or a randomized nuzlocke
Tyranitar despite having a horrible defensive typing is a pure monster who has been dominating the OU tier for a long time. Especially when the metagame have shift dramatically after Gen 5, and watching Pokemon once staple in OU falling down from grace, I believe T-Tar was one of the few mons who managed to be on OU since then.
It took me 30 minutes to figure out that all your pokemon are named after Rock legends. Well done, Silph
"Hypnosis with Dream Eater would have been a nightmare, literally"
Heh well actually if they are eating your Dreams then there would be no dreams, and an absence of dreams cannot be a nightmare.
Love it when you upload! I haven’t watched the last couple because I haven’t finished BDSP yet and didn’t want spoilers, but as soon as I finish it I get to go back and watch those!
This is the first new upload since I subscribed and I'm so excited! I've been having a blast with all these Monotype Hardcore Nuzlockes!
Speaking of, I wanted to suggest a Bug-only run of B2W2! Gen 5 had a bunch of neat Bug-types, such as Scolipede, Galvantula and Volcarona, to name a few.
I wouldn't mind a Bug-only run of BW either, but the reason I suggest the sequels is because in the original BW, you can't actually find any wild Bug-type encounters until after you gain the second Badge. Meanwhile, in B2W2 you can catch a Sewaddle on the western half of Route 20 before you get your first badge.
The only downside I could see with doing the sequels instead of the originals is that Durant is locked behind the post-game. But considering you can only find it in Victory Road in the originals, it only really affects the League portion of your challenge. Plus, you should still get two additional encounters in its place in the form of either Combee or Heracross(B2)/Pinsir(W2) at Route 12 and Shuckle in Seaside Cave. Not to mention that while you can only get a Larvesta Egg after the 6th badge in the originals (and you can't evolve it because it does so past the League's level cap), you can actually catch a LV 35 Volcarona halfway through your journey in B2W2.
And if you want an additional challenge, you can play W2 as it'll force you to battle White Kyurem (which should have at least 1 Fire-type attack) as part of the story. Also B2W2 have Challenge Modes that will up the levels of the Trainers Pokémon and increase the AI's capabilities or something like that.
Absolutely love your nuzlocks i literally refuse to watch any one else's nuzlocks just yours bud!!! Keep them coming! Im subscribed!
This is the first video i watched on your channel and i watched the entire 40 min. Normaly i don't go through the whole ordeal and skip parts but you are very entertaining. 👊
I remember having Silver as a kid and going thru the game maxing out my Rhydon; then finding out about T-Tar thinking he was a direct upgrade and falling in love with him
Dude, this type of challenge is so much more fun that the mono poke runs! The level cap is so cool!
Love the theme of your “Rock” nicknames! 😂🔥
I love how this guy consistently uses the word “decimate”.
I know people say Lance is a cheater for somehow having Dragonites that are below their normal evolution level, but in these games magikarp was being made to evolve prematurely through use of the sound/music, maybe it somehow affected his Dragonairs
Seismic Toss does damage equal to the user's level, same as Night Shade. It has nothing to do with the target's base HP stat.
But because Shuckle's HP stat is garbage, his HP at level 28 here is only 51, so a seismic toss from machop at level 25 almost does half damage; whereas, a Blissey's HP at level 28 is probably like 150, so the seismic toss from machop at level 25 only does a sixth damage. That's why Shuckle's HP stat matters
I'm pretty sure he knows how seismic toss works ffs
He probably just misspoke.
Rock is my favourite type to use in monotype, so these particular challenges are by far the most entertaining for me. Great job with this one silph.
Catching a Larvitar on the first encounter is crazy. It took me a good chunk of time to catch one.
The way you beat the dragon gym was legendary. Good stuff!
12:26 I know how that feels. One time her clefairy destroyed my Geodude in a nuzlocke with Leaf Storm lol
I LOVE waking up to an inspirational Silph video! Because of you, I enjoy various Pokemon Gamemodes! Of course, Nuzlockes are my favourite! Love ya Silph ❤
I love your catchphrases after something good or bad happens it's so funny
I was watching at least one of your Nuzlocke video every night.
And when I saw that you uploaded a new one, I was really happy.
You're content is amazing, and the jokes are hilarious.
Hey! I remember on one of your recent HGSS runs I commented about the berries and fossils from rock smash…glad you used that this time!! 🙌🏻
Seeing the name you give Slugma made me happy. I even squealed a little lol
I absolutely love your Nickname schemes, Rockstars in this video and Halo in the Psychics only run.
Keep up the great videos :)
I like your dedication to the rock typing and refusing to use slugma until it evolves into a rock type
I've come to love Magcargo lately, so it was nice to see it be so useful in this run
You could have gotten a Geodude slightly earlier for the sake of authenticity of the run. In all fairness, it's still essentially what you say it is. I wouldn't consider like 3 trainer battles to be invalidating the run. But yeah, if you go through the gate to the north on the first route outside of Newbark there's Geodudes in the grass there. They should be the same level as the ones in that cave.
I LOVED using Rhydon in HGSS. Avalanche makes Lance a lot easier
All the classic rock singer names this man has some great taste in music
Silph honestly the best hardcore nuzlocker on yt content wise, relaxing dude, have a good one if you read this
Love your videos! You have become my favorite CZcamsr as of late:)
Have you ever considered doing a randomized nuzlocke? I’m finishing one up now and it’s been a ton of fun!
I love your videos. Keep it up. You knowledge of heart gold/soul silver is impressive. Didn’t know you get get a slugma of larvitar at those points in the game
I am so glad this came out on my recommended. This is great.
i was watching the last video, refreshed, and now ready to watch this one!
My boys in Rush don't get enough mentions usually.
Good choice.
Hey Mr. Silph! We missed you last week!!! Great to see a new video and a HG/SS non the less, I loved this games
I think I got most of the references, and yeah, they're from "rock" bands, I get it:
Benatar - Pat Benatar
Geddy - Geddy Lee (Bass player and singer of Rush)
Jett - Joan Jett (Former guitar player of the Runaways and solo career)
Adler - either Steven Adler of GnR or Chris Adler of Lamb Of God (both drummers)
Hammett - Kirk Hammett (Guitar player of Metallica)
Patti - Patti Smith (I'd to search this one, so I'm not confident on this one, I barely know her career)
Cobain - Kurt Cobain (Guitar player and singer of Nirvana)
Joplin - Janis Joplin
Jimi and Bonham - I figured that I'll pair them up and go for Led Zeppelin (Jimmy Page/guitar player and John Bonham/drummer)
Or since you name it as "Jimi", it can also be a reference to Jimi Hendrix.
Hopefully I got most of them.
Funny enough, Lance's team all has the flying type. So his dragon master title could be a cover for the fact that he's a flying type trainer.
Man you are the best whenever I thought you will lose the run you come with a marvelous technique to defeat the challenge
These challenges made me start nuzlockes, still bad at them but learning so much from them so thank you
you can't have pupitar evolved for the champ even if you wanted. Johto levels are crazy
Silph on Sunday is the best way to end (or start) the week
4 minutes in and I already know it's going to be a ROCK band theme! 😀
Love the rocker theme with the rock type.
damn sudowoodo and corolla putting in work. love those guys usually in team in most runs. would love to see a normal run, should be fun.
CORSOLA, NOT COROLLA!
I could swear that seismic toss does damage based on level, not HP.
It does.
12:07 Ah, reminds me of the time when Whitney's Clefairy got off friggin Fire Blast on my Paras, marking the first death of my Soulsilver Nuzlocke. And if that wasn't dumb enough, one of those Beauties with a Clefable before Ecruteak City would later get off a Blizzard with a crit too to take out my Geodude. And that's literally the first time that's happened to me in all my time of me playing Heartgold/Soulsilver.
Loved this Nuzlocke.. Super dope concept, I think I'm going to mono-type my next play through!
It’s crazy how much I learned from this video, I had no clue earthquake does double if they do dig. And same thing with defense curl/rollout!!
Great vid brother keep it up.
Ps you can obtain larvitar without completing the baoba quest, just head north from the gate to the mountain area
I’ve been waiting what feels like an eternity silph😩. Love the challenges keep it up
Love the channel and the content! But i i dont think ive ever seen a gen III Stell type Nuzlocke anywhere!
Instead of having a lower level cap for Jasmine, you should just fight Pryce first. Its not like you cant just Fly around, you get the Fly TM and ability from beating Chuck and youre given Kenya for a free flier.
MVP Rhydon
This was prob one of the toughest challenges, gotta love the rock types
I love all your Challenge runs sliph
Legit didn't know you could get Larvitar before Mt. Silver. The more you know
"gengar misses hypnosis" I CALL HAKSSSS hahaha awesome video buddy
Legendary strat with the Kingrda. Well done!
Thx for the interesting videos, i always watch them in the evening when i lay in bed.
Negative part: i fall fast a sleep and dont watched it complete.
Positive part: i fall fast a sleep but i sleep well.
The hardest fight I had in my run of this was against Morty; Took me 4 resets. What I ended up doing was sending out Onix for Sandstorm for the 2x spDef right before it dies, go into Geodude and hit a rock polish, a defense curl, and then rollout. Had to avoid curse and paralysis from the gastly on geodude, but once it worked it worked.
I'm genuinely surprised you managed to get it done with the Corsola primarily, great job.
As a metal head and rock lover, the names are great. Especially the nod to the drummer of Guns N Roses. If you had named him Colleti that would have been a real hard one.
I love your Pokémon challenges!😀
Lmao someone copied ur comment
You the man silph doing the math I couldn't love your videos is only good thing on Sunday
absolutely looooove the naming scheme in this one lmao
12:11 I can relate, i was playing sword and this clefable knocks out my cloyster with a fusion flare 😭
I really don’t think it’s possible for Silph to make a bad video lol great vid Silph as always
Magnet pole service
Megnazone be like
Phone recommended
Rottom:YEAHHH
Fun fact about that Fast Ball thing, even if you include legendaries, they only add 6 Pokémon (Lugia, Entei, Raikou, Zapdos, Mewtwo, and Lati@s) meaning the post-game total is 20. That does make it more than the total number of Moon Ball Pokemon capturable (6, or 2 before the post-game)
Ah I’m very glad our man is now traveling across the world all with the love for rock types
Currently doing a hardcore nuzlocke on BD where I am only using Pokemon who weigh less than 30 lbs. It's really tough, and means some pokemon can't evolve. I recommend it to you, Silph! Doesn't have to be 30. Choose something more or less heavy!
Once you named your geodude Benatar I knew I was gonna love this video’s team
You can actually get a Geodude even earlier! There's a route on top of the first route, it's the one connected to the city with the dragon gym!
