The Normal type isn't supereffective against ANYTHING else... but are Normal Pokemon better than they were in Gen 4!? Pokemon Ruby is one of my favorite games in the franchise, and there are a lot of underrated Normal type options in Gen 3... but might it be a bit more challenging than expected in a hardcore nuzlocke? 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 RubyHardcore Nuzlocke with only Normal 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.

A huge thanks to the folks at Raid whose support has allowed me to get more videos to you guys. Make sure to check out their game if you've been enjoying the frequent uploads clik.cc/DNBIj Are you guys getting hyped for BDSP btw?! I've heard there are some tough challenges in it... 👀
Always loved zangoose toxic boost is such a fun underused ability facade choice band and toxuc boost is just funny
Yup! But it all comes down to my grades for the Christmad period- so I may or may not get BDSP it sounds rlly cool tho!✨
Just a heads up: in Gen 3, all Fighting moves are Physical
Edit: Im not excited for it, more excited for Legends
love the dbz names silph
Is true power gonna come back with the release of BDSP?
Playing ruby as a normal type trainer... Just as Norman intended it.
Making old Pop proud!
Just as Normtended
The apple didn't fall far from the tree.
@Ryn Harkian Roxanne... Rocks...
Brawly... Brawl...
Wattson... Watts...
Flannery... Flanne (Flame)...
Norman... Normal...
You get the idea
@Ryn Harkian I know you know, I was also kidding... As for Brock and Morty, they aren't in Hoenn, I was purely using Hoenn names 😋
"Wouldn't expect a Kecleon to do so much damage"
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon players: Shop flashbacks
Oh no...
“I’m sure he won’t miss 1 gummie…”
No, no please, it was just a Seeed
I wonder if I can make it to the exit in tim- no no no noooooooo
@@jacobwhelan45 THIEF! THIEF ! THIEF!
14:23 i love the fact that Loudred (and Exploud) can learn Flamethrower like they are "spitting fire"
27:25 "In a brilliant burst of light, a great warrior meets his end. The prince of all Zangoose. His name was... Vegeta."
Here's a fun fact that I've always been shocked by: Zangoose can't learn Cut.
Mind boggling wth
It can’t?! Wtf
That is shocking
Neither can Scyther... (Same with fly, despite having wings)
I see, he can scratch, slash, and crush, but can't cut.
Astonish was physical this gen would've helped against Roxanne
Low damage, but no resistance and flinch chance, that was the right move indeed.
yeah that’s all i could think about during that part lol
Actually, ghost type is physical in this gen, so that wouldnt help very much
@@flaviocj1789 Ghost was physical Zangoose highest stat and Ghost wasn't resisted by Rock or ground it did neutral damage
Just made a comment saying the same. Was so frustrating after watching him max his attack
Me: A gen 3 normal run? Heck yeah! Delcatty's my favorite but it never gets used.
Silph: AND IT NEVER WILL!
Dude, the Modest Guts Taillow hurt me emotionally.
Silph theory crafting how to beat Steven: "I looked forward in time. I saw 14,000,605 futures."
The audience: "In how many did you win?"
Silph: "One."
Then he gave Steven the mega ring.
All Fighting type moves are physical in this gen. So that Nature is even better :)
Why didn’t your zigzagoon knew headbutt? It’s better in every way possible against tackle, could have made the first and third arena easier !
You mean gym?
im not sure exactly what he is talking about but he is right headbutt is stronger and has a chance to flitch
@@eeveestars3668 did you mean Flinch?
@@Jack-O-Dumbass yes
None in the threat understands the concept of context clues
"Wouldn't have thought a Kecleon could do so much damage" - I see you never played Mystery Dungeon
Can't wait to see the turnout! Silphs Nuzlockes are the most exciting ones I've seen, Saludos desde México Silph! 👋🏻
Ayy thanks so much Lui, glad you're enjoying them! And hello from up north in the frigid Canada haha!
@@SilphSpectre ah I love CZcamsrs like you who actually love their fans and don’t just see them as a damn number, your amazing and I had a question if you willing to listen, which is would you do regular hardcore Nuzlocke’s in harder rom hacks, like a hardcore Nuzlocke of Pokémon Insurgence
@@SilphSpectre ahh yes. I forget the requirement to be a good Poketuber is to be Canadian it seems!
Okay I'm not done the video yet but I had to comment because the kermit part had me DYING
Your dry way of telling jokes hits my funny bone just right Silph. Love it man.
Loved the naming theme. I’ve been getting into Dragon Ball recently due to DBFZ, a fighting game.
RIP Vegeta the Zangoose, you will be missed.
silph: norman ur weak
norman: part of me is u
"Look at the spot on its head" I cant stop rewatching it
You know, for a minute I was confused what Hikui did between all those folks from Dragon Ball. Until I remembered that the Hikui Bird was a thing in OG Dragon Ball. GG, well played, mate. Awesome video as always.
I was the same way bro I'm a die hard db fan and I was like da heck is a hikui I had to look it up at first and then I remembered it bc it was filler and I've literally I think seen that episode maybe once in my life lol
I've effectively erased every bit of filler from my mind so I genuinely have no idea who or what Hikui is 😂😂😂
@@MonkeBrain07 I mean I'll admit that DB had some of the best filler of any anime, the baseball episode and Gohan's birthday are iconic lol DB does great slice of life
@@TheGreatAngel Yeah, but they sometimes don't make any sense when compared to canon. Like the Demon Realm arc after Red Ribbon or Garlic Jr. They're mostly great, but I'll just read the manga if I want to experience DB again. Toriyama's panel work is honestly the best in the manga industry and I highly suggest you try give it a read.
@@MonkeBrain07 Oh I know filler is never meant to be considered "Canon" at all but they definitely do know how to do it a lot of the time and yes I know the manga lol if you've ever watched geekdom101 let's just say... I'm not at his level but I'm comparable lol
Sroomish: haha you may make beaten me but my effect spore will get the last laugh
Swellow: You fool you activated my trap card
gotta love the dragon ball theme for nicknames. Botamo was a perfect name for that spinda xD
I was wondering why you didn't use the bulma's astonish to hit roxanne's geodude, since it's not ineffective and in gen 3 the ghost type attacks were physical, it would take advantage from the +6 attack
I just finished rewatching your rock type nuzlocke challenge for sapphire. Perfect timing.
silph is such a legend, i love the hardcore nuzlocke community man its so good
Absolutely loved ruby when it first came out, got my first level 100 in that game Blaziken. Looking forward to this nostalgia trip Silph. Always a great watch on a Sunday and happy belated birthday
Thanks so much Hugh! Gen 3 is definitely a fun throwback and thanks for the birthday wishes! It was a great (although busy) day!
Did you put him in the daycare and then go to a sand dune with the acro bike, leaving the up button taped down overnight?
My first level 100 was also ruby! It was my starter swampert. It was impish, and I suspect it had terrible IVs as well but I didn’t know any better back then. With ice beam, surf, earthquake and protect, I was able to level it to 100 by spamming the elite four over and over lol. Also the only game I ever completed the Pokédex, and I ran the internal battery dry. So much nostalgia, I’m 29 years old and have never enjoyed a Pokémon game as much as my Ruby play through ❤️
@@Skylerrelyks93 wow. This is genius…never thought of that
the little extra stories what makes these really pop. I just started and I can tell this is gonna be gold after the moment with the petalburg gym on tv. Game on Silph.
I hope this is going to be an "How good was Zangoose actually?"
I'd say Steven is a dual type trainer.
Skarmory: Steel/Flying
Claydol: Ground/Psychic
Armaldo: Rock/Bug
Cradily: Rock/Grass
Aggron: Steel/Rock
Metagross: Steel/Psychic
Half his team is technically rock type.
He's a theme trainer. He has an ore theme as a geologist.
@@orcinusrex or a Sandstorm trainer.
Despite none of his ‘mons using Sandstorm…..
@@misters6749skarmory doesn’t really come across as sandstorm. Metal so geologist makes sense kinda
Take a shot every time Silph says “that was an easy gym, but I’m NOT complaining”
so 8 maximum shots? not a good drinking game
@@fashie4968 god now I have to delete this 8 month old comment lol
@@atvfellonmewheniwas7454 lol sorry XD maybe i just drink too much so it could be a good drinking game to light drinkers :)
I just wanna say, you're my favorite nuzlocke youtuber, your commentary is just so crisp and good. I love your videos so much, keep up the great work
All he does are cringe so called jokes.
I Never thought it would be possible to beat Steven with 0 deaths in a hardcore nuzlocke. Daumn Silph good job!
I gotta say, I just recently started watching your content, but I love it! I love how even though you play the same games, you always bring some new funny twist to the stories that keeps it fresh. Keep up the great work!
Very nice! Real clever with the naming convention: Dragon Ball for the win! 18/4, my man! Keep up the good work!
I’ve been here for ages and seeing sponsorships makes me happy! The true power tournament series is my favourite content on CZcams to date. Hope to see new tournaments soon!
Ahh, yes. A normal type run in Ruby. You showed Norman how to be an actual normal type trainer! lol
Another great video, Silph! 10/10 as always! (:
Thanks for all the good work you do, man! ♥
I can tell you had so much fun making this video! Amazing series. I’d love to see an ice/fairy run but appreciate they’re often available later in the game- although maybe fairy in X/Y?
You upload roughly around 12am Monday from where I live. Happy to watch a nuzlocke from you right after finishing schoolwork and getting ready for bed. Great vid, Silph :))
I really loved the naming theme I mean.. Dragonball? The nostalgia hit almost as hard as a belly drum linoone great nuzlocke!
Thanks for putting the chapters in the description, I really appreciate it
“You’re just like your father.”
“You mean the murderer.” 😂😂
Also loving the Dragon Ball Names.
Silph ... YOU ARE FRICKING PERFECT. The amount of comedy and not to mention the voice over is just soo good couldn't help but laugh like 30 times this stuff is perfect 18 out of 10
I've been loving all the jokes, bits, and one liners in the last few nuzlockes! Keep on taking that comedic freedom bro 👍👍
Dude finally. so happy to see another video of yours. keep it up. be proud of yourself. youo are doing so good!!!
Always enjoy these. Makes my Monday much better. Was surprised not to see the Linoone Substitute/Belly Drum strat though. That seems to a go to for these runs.
I woke up to this and my day has been made. Istg Silph has such good narrative/communication skills it feels like im right next to him irl
Hello SilphSpectre I recently found your channel through your True Power series, and I just wanted to thank you because I never knew that you could exchange numbers with the Kanto Gym leaders in the Gen 2 remakes.
You have given me a new reason to dig up my copy of Soul Silver and challenge myself again, so thank you.
with that trendy saying its a shame skillshare didnt sponsor this one
Yo, it's my birthday, and I've been binging these runs! Great to watch a new one!
man I thought you'd never do another normal challenge after what Pearl did to you LOL
I’m so hype for this one! Once again this notification making my day 🙏🏾
Zigzagoon = Videl.
DBZ theme, CONFIRMED.
God I love that you drop before football on Sundays, pumped for the run!
I watch your nuzlockes only for those golden edits. Absolutely love the editing, keep at it!
Always with the uploads at the perfect times! Glad i subscribed! Keep it up silph!
A Fire/Leaf Normal only would be cool to see.
Ayyeee your humor is improving lol. None of that out of date troll face memes. Keep it up man!
I've been playing Pokemon since I was barely ten years old, but I've never heard of these challenges before. I find nothing more relaxing than just listening to you play through these challenges with a cup of tea and playing my own Pokemon games. Thank you for these videos.
That's amazing! So glad to hear you're enjoying them; they're definitely an fun way to play through the games we've all loved for so long. Thanks for the love and hope you continue to enjoy them! :D
@@SilphSpectre thank you so much for the reply!! You're actually inspiring me to have a go at a Nuzlocke challenge myself, though I'm a little tentative because I'm utterly sure I'll fail haha. But, thank you for the kind response, especially because I understand you must be so busy with life and the channel.
Finally someone will put Delcatty in the spotlight it deserves-
oh come on
I love these vids. They show any pokemon has potential if trained right.
I'm so happy you made a DragonBall themed team. Name wise at least. This was awesome
I’m addicted to these videos. Thanks again Silph!
I love your nicknames, particularly the boxing references you give your starters
Welcome back, it's always a joy to see you posted a video!
I was patiently waiting for you to upload your Sunday Nuzlocke. Like I said, one of my favorite things about Sunday (:
This is the best part of my week😂. Huge fan of the Pokémon series and a huge fan of the comedy in these videos 👌🏻
Me: Cant wait to see how Sliph does a Normal HC nuzlocke in Gen 3
*Sees Raid: Shadows Legends*
Me: Aight, Imma head out
I love the Dragon ball names Hikui is a throwback
Dude, you were on fire with this run!! It was a blast, an absolute delight!!
..Spinda though, look at that dude XD
I’m so grateful for these videos being uploaded so consistently & I never cease to be impressed.
These videos are basically the only thing that keeps me going.
Amazing run and nice to see Kecleon getting some usage!
Canelo and videl as nicknames didn't know you were a boxing fan Silph!
DB naming scheme is so fun c: videl was one of my fave characters.
I love your videos and can’t wait for the next one! Also am excited for the turn out
11:31 😂😭 your too good man
Great video bro. Can’t wait to see the next challenge you do. Can you do a only water type on HeartGold or SoulSilver? Keep up the success on your channel.
I love these videos they're always so creative.
I always look forward to a new video from you on my day off man.
Silph: "Nosepass used 3 Defence Curls" (Min. ~10)
Nosepass: Dude wtf, have u seen my limbs?
Silph is going to use Dragon Ball theme in this nuzlocke awesome.
Love these videos! Any chance of a specific colour Pokémon Nuzlocke? Seen quite a few of those recently. Opens up some different options
I really enjoyed the jokes and edits in this one!
Amazing run Silph great work.
Great vid! Always enjoy a Silph video. Thank you for not crit hung on swellow. It makes normal type runs trivial lol
I tend to have these in the background when I’m EV training, but the news story about Norman at the beginning got a real laugh out of me
I love the videos Silph. But you should try a difficulty rom hack like blaze black/volt white 2. I recently finished a nuzlocke in it and while it was really difficult and took me a few tries, i personally found it super fun to theory craft around each obstacle. What’s nice, is that everything is documented if you prefer not to play blind
Thank you so much for helping me figure out if you can get flamethrower for watson. I wanted to research this to make a guide for nuzlockes as emerald is espicially hard. During that magneton battle if you chose treeko it's almost near impossible to defeat it depening on your encounter. Great job man!!!
I usually just watch for the story but this episode had some pretty funny parts 😂
All he do are cring jokes. Do you yhink they are funny?
Yesss, my first Pokémon game! I really hope Zamgoose carries this run, it really deserves more attention as a cool physical sweeper
EDIT: NOOO, TATE & LIZA!! WHY???!!!
RIP Zangoose
@@dragonboy4800 RIP indeed
‘Most fighting moves are physical’
ALL of them are in this game. No physical/special split, plus the only special fighting moves were introduced after gen 3
If only the rules allowed for you to acquire the Skitty in Fortree.
Always love your videos, I did come here to see Slaking though lol
I wonder if Silph counts poison deaths outside of battle as nuzlocke deaths
Dude great video as always
But I wonder if you will continue the true power series with gen 4
Great editing this video!
11:18 missed opportunity for a Skillshare ad transition.
love the Dragon Ball naming theme :D
Above normal production as always Silph. Great vid.
Love these videos. I always look forward to them.
