Rough, the second failed water type BD run I've seen and you can really tell that the trainers were buffed quite a lot.

Ooh, you should play with only dual-type Pokémon and none of the types can match. So if you have a team of 5, you should have 10 unique types between them! That might just be fun and not... hard. I don't know.

But it makes sense! Your pokemon should feel attached to you. Yall act like that isn't like the same thing as a move missing. It's a chance to activate.

Absolutely love a new upload from Silph. Made my entire morning so much better.

This run hits home. My first run at Pokémon was with Empoleon and I was too young to understand to balance my team, had no internet and understood basically no English. That led to my Empoleon basically being overleveled while my highest other pokemon were ones I caught on Victory Road. At the Elite Four I could not figure out how to beat them as I didn't really know all type weaknesses. I ended up giving up, resetting the game and starting over with Turtwig with who I breezed through the game. Now it's tough to see Empoleon still not reach that hall of fame.

I remember I used to just get stuck at Fantina for the longest time, so I just gave up and started a new game every time, starting it with each starter and still not being able to beat it for the longest time. Then one time when I chose Grotle, I let my younger brother play it one night and the next day, I saw he was over at Solaceon Town.

I was so confused why I was getting hit so hard by random trainers and gym leaders. I had a special defensive hippopatas and it was one shot by a stab shadow ball haunter. Makes sense if they have actual evs and what not, but come one 160 health with 100 Spdef and this thing still gets one shot.

Aaron’s Drapion has the Sniper ability, plus the Scope Lens, plus Night Slash has a higher crit ratio - scary indeed with all those crits!

I enjoyed this! Totally didn’t expect the ending, seems like the new move sets and typings are amazingly tough

Glad to know you like Octilery too. Such a fun pokemon to use, and a very unique concept

I'm so glad this video exists! Thank you for uploading this so soon after the release, you are incredible! Another video to relax to, thank you again. I have yet to play the remakes (I'm waiting until later this week) but this video got me so excited for it. Thank you!

"You'd think after 14 years of this, you'd learn to watch where you're going" You would think after growing up with Barry, you'd learn to judo yeet him. More Grass monotype runs would be nice, its a challenging type with interesting options. Or, if romhacks are acceptable, Pokemon Unbound. Its honestly not just the best romhack I've played, but one of the best pokemon games in general... I love the visual update to Gardenia and her gym; She is my favorite gym leader, so for all that I don't like Funko Pop Pokemon universe, the actual in-battle graphic update is so nice.

Don’t blame yourself that you lost! I still had fun watching this video, you were doing great! Thank you for an interesting run

I was honestly surprised you lost the run but those play rough misses were very unlucky!! Also can we take a moment to appreciate that we haven’t had a Pokémon game with this difficulty since Unova if only there was a toggle for the exp share

Kudos to you! I'm here b/c I lost to Cynthia last night which ruined my run. I switched two pokemon and tried a different strategy and then beat her (I only had 5 going into her match anyway), but not having the W on the Nuzlocke hurts a bit. Can't wait to try again though!

I waited to watch this until beating the game at least once. And wow...this game was a ride. The Elite 4 and Cynthia were absolute walls. My first try at a nuzlocke ended in devastation. Even giving that up and simply trying to beat the game without leveling like a maniac was really tough. Great fun overall though. Both to watch and play. Will probably use these games for any random challenges I do actually give a try for.

3 things i have to say on this video silph 1: Gandalf noooooooooo!!! 2: you sadly lost since you did not have your mascot kingdra on ya mah dude. 3. I have mad respect for you to actully show runs that you loose the last match had me shocked when i saw it. Amazingly played.

Man, this is really brutal. I have watched like 5 BDSP nuzlocke video including yours, & only one barely managed to win the Pokemon League, & that too out of sheer luck like the affection mechanic. Seriously, this league is probably even tougher than that Ultra Necrozma fight. It's probably even harder than Radical Red. At least in RR, you're given tons of options to optimize & create a well rounded team with perfect EV spread and IVs. In BDSP, you're given zero tools/help that is needed to create a well rounded competitive team. I don't think you get any of those Power Items before the Elite Four, & the same goes for the Destiny Bond item. So you're really out of luck in trying to create a perfect team until you have beaten the game. I have to wonder how hard it is for the average player to beat the Elite 4 for the first time. I just watched Joey (pokeaimD)'s run of BDSP and he had to spam Full Restore & Max Potion until Cynthia's Garchomp ran out of Earthquake/Dragon Claw PP. No way you can nuzlocke BDSP without extreme preparation and a perfectly competitive team of your own.

I REALLY underestimated Cynthia and the Elite 4. Went in today with my highest level mon being a level 63 Empoleon, others all slightly below 60. With the recent games only being fun when underleveled, I figured it was a good idea. :’) Ended up setting up with Empoleon as Spiritomb can’t really touch it after one X SpD. That Milotic especially is brutal, no move I had did more than 25%, it constantly burned me and recovered health. I do really want to create a competitive rain team around that Milotic, I think that’d be amazing
