    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.

  • @pokeben0525
    @pokeben0525 Před rokem +243

    So the calculation for the odds of hitting Horn Drill against that Luxio would be
    33% accuracy of Horn Drill because you were 3 levels higher, multiplied by the 1/3 modifier from +6 evasion, multiplied by an additional 3/5 multiplier for accuracy in fog which comes out to a massive 0.066% chance of hitting Horn Drill. In short, it was extremely lucky that Horn Drill managed to hit.

      If I'm not mistaken, OHKO moves always have 30% accuracy (+ level difference), and aren't effected by accuracy or evasion changes. Could be wrong, I know this is the case in later gens, though.

    I know that it takes a lot of time and a lot of work to make these Nuzlocke videos but I just thought of an idea for a Nuzlocke.
    What if instead of using only one type of team to run through the game, you formed a team consisting only of the next gyms typing? Example if the first gym is a rock gym you'd have to use a team of only rock Pokemon. Then if the next gym was a water gym you'd have to form a team of only water type Pokemon. You'd have to change the rules to one encounter per type per route per team in order to get enough encounters to form each team and you'd only be able to catch those new Pokemon types for said team after beating the previus gym. Ultimately this means you'd have to do a lot more leveling each time you formed a new type team but it would be an interesting challenge. Also when you get to the Elite 4/Champion you put all of the type teams you used up to this point onto a wheel and spin it and whichever team wins the spin is the team you have to use which also means you'd have to level each team up towards the level cap before doing so so you don't end up with an underpowered team. It's a lot of work but I think it would make for an interesting Nuzlocke and a nice change of pace.

    25:17 Horn Drill's accuracy is 30%. Max evasion makes it 3 times more unlikely to hit, so its 10%, now Fog reduces acurracy by 3/5, so it becomes 6%, and finally we add the level difference between Rhyhorn and Luxio to the final result (this is a OHKO move thing, it actually affects the chances of hitting), making it a 9% chance of hitting Horn Drill through max evasion and Fog

    At 25:07 the chance to hit that Horn Drill was 33%. 30% at base and an extra 3% for being 3 levels higher than the Luxio. Starting in gen 3, OHKO moves ignore accuracy changes, and always have their 30% chance to hit + the bonus chance for being higher level. So, they could be at +6 evasion with fog and you could be at -6 accuracy and you'd still have that 33% chance to hit
