    Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, some of the Pokemon games I've spent the most time playing in the entire series... will that play duration come in handy with a poison only challenge!? 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 Diamond Hardcore Nuzlocke with only Poison 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.

    Silph just gotta say you revived my love for Pokémon I used to have as a kid, it feels so good to be able to have a bunch of games to play again. Old games that have great memories attached to them but just with those extra challenges added to make the game worthwhile now as an adult!

  • @Vesdus
    @Vesdus Před 2 lety +4

    Barry must believe you've only had a Crobat for nearly the entire duration of the game.
    He's been training his team up just to take down your one Crobat,
    and if he ever got close to K.O.ing it, he would find out that you actually have an entire team of 6 powerful Pokemon.

    @aceofgamez303 Před 2 lety +3

    This video is amazing. I can't tell how how much I liked it. The poison type is very cool, and as a Nuzlocker myself, I think that Crobat, Skuntank, and Drapion are insane carries, Crobat helping with Skuntank's and Drapion's weakness, and Drapion and Skuntank being immune to Psychic. Roserade is really solid, and I think that it deserves more love. It is a really solid special attacker. Also, if you would like to try a harder challenge, try playing HeartGold or SoulSilver using only normal types. It should put up a great challenge! :D

  • @LeafeonLive
    @LeafeonLive Před 2 lety +2

    36:12 The reason your Tentacruel got outsped was because the Nature was likely Hasty or another speed-based Nature. Heck, even the Global Link event Garchomp distributed back then was randomized in terms of its natures, so maybe next time, plan around that possibility. Because a Garchomp with Hasty would put the Speed at 176, which is over Tentacruel's 171

A feat that was definitely helped by the inclusion of a competitive-lite post game content with challenging opponents that provided 100s of extra hours of content yet somehow has never reappeared in any meaningful form in any Pokemon game since. And no I don't count battle tower and Battle Maison because those are basically half assed pieces of content in comparison to the range of content provided by the Battpe Frontier
