Is there any reason why you didn't pick the Onix in Relic Passage? Just because you already counted having caught the Rogenrola there?

14:17 The reason Magnemite kept hitting even though you mud-slapped him is because Magnet Bomb never misses, like Aerial Ace.

If anybody wants to attempt the mega-hardcore version of this run, technically it’s possible to get a rock type right at the start of the game fully legitimately. Using the Pokémon Dream Radar game you can obtain and trade over a Shuckle as soon as you get the Pokédex. I don’t know how viable it would be to use a Shuckle, granted, but I would certainly be fascinated to see!

Wish me luck, I'll provide updates (current attempt number: 1) NOTE: Should I try Shuckle only for the chuckles and fuckles? EDIT 1: New game started on Pokemon Black 2 and Shuckle was obtained from dream radar (Gender: Female, Nature: Jolly, Ability: Contrary) EDIT 2: Help me with a list of names as I have no creative imagination thanks. EDIT 3: I'm starting to think that contrary shuckle is broken. The enemy pokemon keep growling or leering and I just use roll-out as its the only stab/decent move currently while they buff me. Don't fuckle with shuckle. EDIT 4: Got scared thinking I might break the level cap but got to Cheren at level 13 thank God. Also Shuckle just rolled through his whole team so badge 1 complete. I'm thinking a shuckle only run is completely viable except I don't have defence curl in gen 5 so I can't max damage roll-out. But it's still fairly powerful provided I don't flinch or get paralysed. EDIT 5: Shuckle died to a grimer in virbank city gym. Poison gas coupled with disabling my roll-out caused Shuckles demise. End of Run 1. Will restart tomorrow.

Personally when I did this run I started with Onix over Gigalith, since it's the mon you have the means to guarantee as an encounter through Repels and dust clouds. Onix kinda just hard carried through the first 5 gyms with Curse or Rock Polish (or sometimes both), especially with the Eviolite and Rest for recovery. From that point on I just abused Shell Armor Crustle againsy the remaining gyms and most of the E4.

Can’t stop watching these challenges I absolutely love them. I’ve never done a nuzlocke myself but want to try in the future. Love your vibes man keep them coming!!

once again thank you silph for the hard work, this put a smile on my face and black 2 was my first ever pokemon game, ill enjoy this one!

Nice, needed a good excuse to re binge your hard-core nuzlockes

Dwebble is one of my favorite pokemon and I never evolve it in my runs. It was nice to see him shine again!

I think you can get Ultra Balls before the first trial in one of the Alola games for having caught a certain number of Pokémon.

as a musician i love the naming theme in this run - love the runs as always Silph!

Honestly, I would've sacrificed Roggenrola. Lileep into eventual Cradily is much stronger.

You’ve got some awesome timing. I just finished watching your Platinum run recently and when it finished I was like “wish he had a new Gen 5 run”. Then I see “13 minutes ago uploaded”. Excellent! Anyway, scary timing aside. Your videos are always awesome.

I love the naming scheme, like Jimi for Jimi Hendrix and Fleet for Fleetwood Mac. They all follow famous rock artists

Any run that gives Probopass some love is a good run!

Sunday, Monday, Rain or thunder Imma always be here for Silph Nuzlocke Challenges!!! Loving the rock type

Love watching your content Silph! This challenge ROCKED.... (Insert tumbleweed)

Well done. I love Rock Types, and it's always a joy to see them used in challenges

For Burgh's gym, you could've used Acid since Poison is super effective on Grass types. Otherwise, great video as always!

What a great way to relax 😊 Looking forward to it!

Challenge idea: can you beat all the Pokestar Studios movies without losing your sanity? lol

These are the best thing about the start of the week. Love these, Silph. Thank you for blessing us!

Excellent playthrough. I like the way you utilized Solrock and its suite of setup moves, it proved invaluable to me when I ran through Omega Ruby with Psychic types before. I'm also glad to see Aggron back in the rotation. Rock is a really solid type offensively, but Gen 5 was a really hard time for them and added a lot of support for Fighting and Steel types, and the ability buffs were bothersome to me. Still, you did a great job and I cant wait for the next run!

YES! a new episode! Can’t stop watching your video’s, thanks for it Silph

Morning made, thanks for this Silph!

Just ate dinner after a long day of school (I have one more extracurricular in a few hours) and I love winding down by watching your videos, Silph :)

Man i love rock types thx silph for making this vid😊

Damn i just knew you were gonna pull through in the final battle! Great video, Iris is tough

Just a heads up for future challengws, Payback does double damage if the user moves after the target, regardless of if the target attacked

Nice! Thank you for this videos! They are so much fun! I hope you can do any run on Alola, it can be fun with you playing them, hahaha.

Damn that was epic! Thanks for the video

First time I saw Silph defeated! I'm shocked!

If you use Dream World encounters, you can also use Dream Radar encounters, which has Shuckle (which imo should have been your starter since you can get Shuckle immediately after you get your Pokédex). Dream Radar has been essential in many of my nuzlockes, and I'd love to see more of it later.

If you want to go by badge numbers I'm almost certain it's possible to get ultra balls before the first gym in sword and shield thanks to the DLCs, but by time or distance from the start of the game that one may be the earliest.

Another great video Silph, once again saying you are the best Can you do a Psychic hardcore nuzlocke on Pokemon LeafGreen? You have good options for psychic pokemon and wold be cool seeing you using a mr mime

Have you thought about recording the gym battles, E4 and champion gaemplay with live voice instead of commentary, but having commentary for the remainder of the video? I feel like the video would be more engaging on the battles? Great vid though! Rock only HC nuzlocke would be my worst nightmare😂

It'd be great if you played one of these in Challenge mode since the gym leaders all get one additional Pokémon and of a species that they don't already have in their team, and the Elite 4 get the same plus really good held items. They're listed in their Bulbapedia pages. It'd be a great challenge! And also fun because it'd be a bit of a fresh one, since it's a bit different than the regular runs.

Can we just take a minute and appreciate the skill this man has to not only do nuzlock’s in every game but also with a single type weekly!?! Like I am rn doing my first ever nuzlock with all types on soul silver and it is ROUGH ngl!😅💯

Amazing run Silph! You won in our hearts 😉 Also, reminder that Rock Smash isn’t an HM in Gen 5 so you don’t need to move deleter to get rid of it Another thing is that I just did a monotype Bug playthrough of White 2 cuz I’ve been inspired by your awesome videos! I didn’t do a nuzlocke just a play through and man was it still a challenge! Just like you in this video I’ve never used Crustle before on a playthrough and he clutched out victories for me like beating Ghetsis and even Iris at the end! My respect for Crustle is higher than it’s ever been 😁 If anyone was curious this was my team and their Nicknames Dweedo - Leavanny Vengeance - Scolipede Curt Rustle - Crustle Karrabola - Escavalier Thundarach - Galvantula Morpherno - Volcarona

LETS GOOOOO PERFECT DROP FOR A LAZY HOLIDAY. LOVE YOU SILPH

Solrock and Lunatone are Pokemon I'd really like to use in a playthrough sometime, maybe even in like Gen 3. They're pretty mediocre overall but in the contexts they're in in the games, they have good utility with being Rock-types not weak to either Ground or Fighting, and are just strong enough to be useful. I used a Lunatone in a ROM hack once and it was pretty decent actually.

I’ve been rewatching every one of ur videos

rock is my 2nd favorite type and i loved playing both BW and B2W2 so i hope to enjoy this video

I have never seen a freeze come in clutch like that

If remember correctly, magnet bomb doesn't miss (or that was mirror shot), so that would make sense to not miss even with the accuracy drops

This dude is pumping out content like it's no tomorrow, appreciate the grind bro

what's funny is if it was osha watt it would actually be a great nature haha. awesome video though.

Missed an opportunity to name the solrock Martin

Finally Mr. Silph is back

The jellicent whiped out my whole team in my black 2 nuzlocke run

14:20 magnet bomb can't miss that's why it was so lucky Good job on the run btw

Silph I know you can rule it however you want these are your videos after all, but every other hardcore nuzlocker I've watched stops worrying about the levelcap once the elite four gauntlet starts. So like you should be totally fine to keep using the mon you were thought had overlevelled around 36:30

the comeback in this one is insane!

Something to watch at work. Nice

The Jokes were absolutely on point this time xD Keep it up Champ !

Great video man, as always love the content! One thing I would suggest is, if you're doing a challenge where a mon is locked behind the post game I bet the majority of your fans would be more than happy for you to set one of those as your starter. Just a suggestion, keep up the great work 😄

the issue is that these vids are meant to show that its possible with nothing more than what the base game itself gives you. hacking roggenrola early is fine, you'll get one later anyway guaranteed so getting it early makes no difference (you'll notice that he skipped the onix encounter he could have gotten in that area where roggenrola was normally first available, because if he had not used hacks then that cave would have been roggenrolas encounter location). hacking in a pokemon you cant normally get at all defeats the point of the challenge.

I could be wrong but the earliest you can get an ultra ball would be in Sword in the wild area right? Since you have to go through there to Motostoke before even the first gym for the weird “opening” where they introduce all the gym leaders. It’s crazy you can even get the leftovers so early on in the wild area too I’m preeetty sure !!

Fun fact, I actually got an Ultra Ball from my pickup Lillipup in Black before the first gym. That could possibly be the earliest, unless you meant gifts/pokeball pickups.
