Pokemon Black and White, some of the best AND Hardest Pokemon games of all time.... but can we beat one of its hardest challenges!? It's time to attempt a hardcore nuzlocke of Pokemon White with only Fighting types!
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 White Hardcore Nuzlocke with only Fighting 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.

Ghetsis: *Wipes out rest of team.*
Pierre: I'm not impressed by your performance.
Principal Skinner: *PATHETIC*
Literally the best comment that can be made for this video
You are cultured
Beginner's tip: Scrafty is really, REALLY good against 3 of the elite 4.
In BW2 Scrafty can Moxie punch its way through most of, if not all of Iris' team too. Scrafty is a beast.
Scrafty is so good. Especially if it has Moxie.
Scrafty Excadrill carry my first time playing.
Focus Blast goes brrr
Indeed.
Scraggy/Scrafty was a beast in BW 1and 2, but sadly the Fairy Type crushes him hard.
But his high bulk, typing, abilities, and large coverage lets him do a lot of work.
Yea man, I was confused on why scrafyy was so op but I remember this was before the insanely overpowered fairy types existed
I'm running mono dark in radical red, Scrafty is still very much OP, with dragon dance and drain punch. Easy to set up because of his bulk, he can sweep many of the later trainers. Fairy type has low def, and it only resists 1 stage, with boosts from dragon dances and moxies, they can be one shotted as wel.
Scrafty is still really good in later generations even with Fairy Types existing and very stupidly not being able to learn Gunk Shot.
@Gumball_and_Sonicfan2008 well he can learn Poison Jab and Iron Head, but unless he has setup like 2+ DD, he not gonna outspeed most fairy types
@@Buddy26420 yeah, but still why can’t it learn Gunk Shot but Delibird can?
9:57 you can only do this rock event thing if you have a fighting type on your team. So good choice in type for this run
Mienshao arbitrarily became one of my favorite Pokémon recently, so this was an interesting run to see.
Will you believe me if I told you that the same happened with me just recently as well
Mienshao with max speed and attack, with fake out, acrobatics, u-turn and one fighting move (HJ kick, but drain punch is safer), is absolutely a BEAST. If you include regenerator in there, there's a free switch with recovering. Gen5 fighting pokemon are the best
24:35 Payback doesn't work like Revenge. Payback doubles its power if the opponent MOVES before the user, it doesn't have to hit before necessarily
Ghetsis battle in nutshell
Sliph: Pierre, what kind defence is this?
Pierre: I am the Defense
Yep
That‘s me
That’s literally my name😂👍
A great defence is a great offense.
Pierre,
Seeing a Mienshao surviving to the end gave me the motivation to keep my nuzlocke legacy alive.
Nothing beats Silph when he’s describing a move. “And then we hit them with a charcoal-boosted, 4 times effective, stab flamethrower, with Sunny Day for the instant KO”.
I really like seeing Gen 5 videos. Still my favorite game of all time since it’s release. Keep up the good work!
I love gen 5 also cause it was my first game, I know it like the back of my hand
@@georgewells8585 I still could name every gen 5 pokemon off the top of my head
Ditto
@@nikolaslopez187 no that’s gen 1
@@Jaxonhandle I meant same. I now realize my poor word choice lol
I'm so excited to see Conkeldurr being used!! I used one on my very first ever playthrough of black, and she's remained in my heart ever since- shoutout to my girl Helga
I actually found out myself as well in a run of Black 2 that the pickup ability (gen V onwards) in battle if the user is not holding an item and the opponent uses a held consumable item it will pick it up. Actually caused me to lose a run lol
Edited : changed to held consumable item my bad
How, in a guts situation where the status was healed by a status ailment?
@@jefferysmith6740 I should rephrase that sorry by consumable I mean held consumable berry, power herb etc not potions
I think he was asking how it made you lose?

I actually found a shiny Sawk in the rustling grass on route 10 when grinding Audinos. I had to do a double take because its shiny is so similar to its regular colors.
From this video I've learned that Scraggy is actually crazy strong.
Hes always been good and strong just that hes slow and quad to fairy.
Before fairies were a thing, the only pokemon that resists its stab combination is heracross and it gets ohko'd by ice punch, thanks to its great bulk it can survive strong neutral hits and set up dragon dances to kill whatever's in front of it with drain punch and heal back to full, it also has shed skin to heal off annoying status conditions that might prevent it from sweeping or moxie to make his attacks a lot more devastating
Tldr: scrafty's a freaking beast
I also thought it was weak but when I saw it massacre Cynthia's team in BW postgame of my Play through I was inexplicably impressed by it.
WAS*
@@absi49 still is. Just has a way easier counter method now
I NEVER see anyone do Hardcore White runs! I’m so happy someone did one finally! Everyone goes for Black or BW2
Not many do HC on BW; rather due to its limitted pokemon roster
16:26 the most wholesome silph laugh ever
8:57
In bulbapedia, there are two columns. One is the unrepeatable method to get something and the other is the repeatable method (held items)
You have confused between both of them. You could have had it earlier....
Yeah, getting a sawk in White version is a pain in the but because everywhere you can find one, it's always a 5% encounter.
It’s also one of the few instances where you can get “version exclusive” Pokemon in each game
just a tip for the future, outside pinwheel forrest you could've secured throh/sawk through the shaking grass
Gen 5 honestly has some of my favorite fighting types, this seems like a really fun run
Gen 5 was a love letter to the fighting and bug type
I trained a Mienshao on my first playthrough of White version way back in the day, and I've been obsessed with it ever since. It is a pain to get to evolve, but once you get it, the Drain Punch + Acrobatics combo is amazing!
@11:34
If Watchog went for Retaliate instead of Crunch, which is what the AI usually does, you would have lost another run right there.
You’ve had some crazy luck on these Nuzlockes at times!!
Pierre is the last Mon standing... checks out. After all, we all know GSP is the GOAT.
Ah yes, good o'l Conkeldurr, the Valentine we all needed but didn't deserve
I feel like most gen 5 content I see is B2W2 focused (mainly Black2 for what that means) so I enjoy seeing BW content as I prefer those over their sequels.
Only problem I have with BW2 content is that people don't play Challenge Mode. Otherwise, Gen 5 best gen.
Is there much of a difference? Just started BW2.
@@georgethakur Hard mode gives better AI to major fights, gives them extra pokemon/moves, and later fights have a full set of held items. All trainers have around 1-3 higher level pokes as well. If you are doing a challenge run, it is night and day with the difficulty.
@@fishyweeb4820 Do you mean in BW2? I didn't see any option for that, gotta look again. Thanks.
8:51 You misread that table completely. The first column says “finite methods” while the second column says “repeatable methods.” What that effectively means is that the item can appear on the Wild Pokémon listed independent of location in the game.
Strange how you never seemed to make that mistake in any previous run.
Are you missing the point he was talking about using thief?
@@ashra8281 No, my comment was taking that into account.
what, are you suggesting it was on purpose??😭he made mistake
Scrafty is one of my fav mons, and it definitely can put in work. Nice to know you appreciate it!
A true fighting type run! The last battle was LITERALLY each mon sacrificing themselves to give their teammate the best chance to win! Love this run!!
You would've been fine against Archeops if you didn't crit there, I believe you would've done enough damage to proc Defeatist and survived his retaliation.
Barring his own crit, of course.
> Talking about Scraggy
"It has low speed so Intimidate is probably better than Moxie but not bad"
> *Dragon Dance Scrafty has joined the battle*
For future reference in this gen Burn and Poison do the same amount of damage so you can get your Pokémon Poisoned for Guts as well off wild mons. Poisoning attacks are typically more common and have higher chances to activate so just something to think about it.
It's a good thing N's old friends are mostly weak to fighting or that last fight with him would have been the end
holy shit, I binged this series and is my favorite thing to watch while eating, please dont stop the uploads.
Fighting type is probably my least used tyoe so this was very interesting to watch!
The pick up ability does use any consumable items used while the Pokémon in battle another useless tip is if you have seeded Pokémon you can swap to a grass type and it will remove the seeds
I think the leech seed is removed regardless as long as you switch out your sapped Mon
It's just that Grass types are immune to leech seed in general
I'm pretty sure you can actually thief Expert Belt from Sawk and Throh in the main game, as I did exactly that in my Pokemon Black Hardcore Nuzlocke. The post game area is just where you can find it in an item
" *Führerscheinprüfung* " is basically split in 3 words, Führer ( similar to *Leader* ), Schein ( *Certification* ) and Prüfung ( *Exam* )
Personally i would write it " Führerschein Prüfung " cuz it seems the most accurate since the first 2 words are commonly together while the last one isnt nessesarily.
on the other hand i dont understand english sometimes ... why is " leftovers" fine when it could be left overs? same for Aeroblast, Boomburst, Earthquake etc.
tbh i don't think those are really comparable examples, they're still relatively short words in terms of what they sound like
Amazing run Silph, good to see the fighting type getting some love. Keep up the good work.
I don’t know about everyone else, but I adore the fact that there’s a guy just standing in the desert and when you talk to him, he’s just like “Here, kid. I’m busy.” And just hands the protag a handful of sand. 😂
I am curious, how many hours do your nuzlockes take to complete, typically?
Yeah I think in his runs he resets battles where he loses pokemon.
@@Flex_Texx he has said that he actually restarts from the beginning, but he 100% uses fast forward and stuff, this would be awful without it.
Awww yeah, Mienshao for the save! This just redeemed you for your last BW challenge. 25/5. Great work.
I’d love to see you play ultra sun and moon or regular sun and moon. That final battle was clutch! Pierre was MVP
12:08 God I love the limited 3D they used for this game, it’s so charming!
What's with this new copypasta everyone keeps throwing around?
@@stellarknight04 Have you ever heard of Friendlocke?
@@kai_3788 yes i saw that alot of chatters keep saying the same thing on every Saltydkan video lol
So i guess you're a man of culture.
9:20 You could try just going with a repel to shaking grass to get the other fighting type, which would make sure you could have both Throh and Sawk as well as Timburr :)
Silph these videos are soo consistent and the quality is always amazing! Keep up the great work
Silph I can’t begin to express how much I enjoy your nuzlockes. Everything from your soothing voice, the lighthearted humor and clever strategizing really makes for great content. Actually, I would have to say you’re my favorite! Happy early Valentine’s!
Wow! I can't believe Watchog didn't use Retaliate after Herdier fainted. I always got/saw people got hit with Retaliate every single time.
15:40 intimidate is the hidden ability
Loved this run. Watched it all the way through and all I can say is I’m pleased lol My favorite fighting type of all time saved the day.
21:15 you being comically disturbed by the weird people in these games makes me die laughing every time xD
Bro keep up the good work please, these nuzlockes are some of my favorite things to watch
Hell yeah, let's watch Silph pull out another victory! These are always a thril
More like HAIL YEAH
21:12 I guess we finally found Adaman's descendant, guys.
Don't you disrespect Musharna like that, it created the illusion that drove off the grunts! >:(
37:53 head smash was correct there also great run I absolutely love black 1 and white 1 runs since you are only using gen 5 mons
I'd love to see more of them
Damn the uploads are on fire but I don’t have problem with that thanks for the great content Silph!
Honestly I hope your channel grows your videos are really entertaining and well put together
If you named Timburr after Overeem for the old Demolition Man gimmick from the Pride FC days, then my dude that is legit genius.
I do love the Challenge Rock Easter egg. You can go back each day and use your mon’s to chip some items off it. Wish more world building stuff like this happened across these games.
5:26 Pickup has the ability to pickup any one-time use items that the opponent used during that turn, granted they have no item themselves. So when you're oran berry activated the lillipup was able to get an oran berry in the same turn. I didn't even know about this until recently because it's such a rare interaction.
I think you just sold me on manscape yo. Have had my routines over the years, but for the first time over all the times I’ve seen the add for it, you have me wanting to try it out. Cheers yo
Yei!! Can't get enough Silph Nuzlocke challenges
@Weni Xerja 👇💘 Go away, bot.
10k veiws in 1 hour keep up the work! I love your videos they seem so energetic and fun!!!
You did that bro. It was tough but you came out on top. Keep up the success on your channel
Two tips: Outside Pinwhell forest, the best option is try to find a Sawk/Throh in the shaking grass instead Timburr. Then caught a Timburr in the Cold Storage. Then caught a Sawk/Throh on Route 18. This way, we will have 4 pokémon before Clay and a complete team before Iris/Drayden.
Always a pleasure to see a new one of these
I’d like to see a Heartgold Ground type Nuzlocke. I recently attempted (and failed) one and it was challenging to say the least, but I had fun strategizing the limited encounters.
Perfect timing for a gen 5 challenge to come out when i’m currently restarting my white playthrough right now
Silph, you are the man brother. I love all your videos. I kinda would like to see you try a romhack one of the more difficult ones... just a thought!!! Love you bro ❤
Love your runs, would love to see you do nuzlock runs through each version with the three starters and random the other 3 types
luv ur vids silph it makes my day
I just wanted to say your commentary is hilarious dude 🤣 I can watch your videos all day
gen 5 is my favourite gen so i would love to see more vids in this gen, also maybe you could try a colourlocke soon where you only use certain coloured pokemon according to serebii or pokemon db
These games are indeed fantastic. Thank you for the challenge video=)
Keep it silph, love your nuzlockes!!
Ahhh Silph you crack me up xD
You have the best commentary on CZcams
Scrafty is one of my favorite pokemon even used him competitively with a moxie set up and did fairly well
I see what you did with the fighting type and the names bro ✊ awesome as always!
Hey Silph and anyone else who reads this. Isn’t it funny in the desert in this game, you can get the Black Glasses item in a Pokéball that’s sitting in the sand BUT get the Soft Sand item from the guy wearing black glasses?
SILPH!!! Wonderful as always!
Thank you for these videos!
I hope your taking care of yourself and staying safe!
P.s. any news on sinnoh true power? I’m going crazy without it. It was my favorite content, and found your channel because of it.
But regardless. Take care of yourself. 😄
Nothing like nearly a quarter of this fighting type Nuzlocke vid being dominated by a mono fire type
Silph- I don’t know I beat this gym with just a tepig
Me-My dude you beat cilan with an oshawatt you can do this
Hey I’ve been watching you channel a lot lately and the amount of work and effort you put in is awesome keep up the good work
I really enjoyed this video, thanks again!
seeing my fav mon duke it out to the very end fills me with joy
13:22 Ghetsis holding back tears I know it.
I love how so many people don't know that pick up has a use in battle! Their are some really cool starts using pickup, especially in doubles
The first time I saw castelia city, my 11 yr old self was blown away at the scope of the buildings, like it made you feel like you were in a big city, it was so cool
Is it just me or does Silph sound like a super advanced version of the text to speech male voice trying to be human
Fun thing to note about rollout is that you don’t have to use defense curl right before it, you can defense curl and use another ability and then rollout. It only keeps track if you have actually used defense curl at some point while being out in the field.
Lived the mma references in this video havent finished watching but knowing alistair overeem he might get knocked out lmao
“An Oshawott with Water Gun, of all things.”
My man that is how Pokémon works
I love these mono type run videos! Keep up the good work, maybe try and a mono-fairy run in X and Y
Finally someone who thinks black and white are cool games! They are by far my favourites the story is cool too!
You misread the bulbapedia table, you can get a single black belt in the postgame area in addition to being able to thief them off of any sawk
emolga in my opinion is probably the scariest single stage pokemon ever
gen 5 lockes r my fav to watch !! sick vid
Samurott, scrafty, krokorock, lucario, electross and haxorus was my team for my first playthrough and did not let me down.
B2W2 is the best game IMO and the encounters you can get are amazing. Found a dragonite and bagon in the hidden grottos with their hidden abilities
the PWT and black city/white tree made the after game really fun.
Silph hitting it out the park again
