@@tolkienblack I was pretty sure this was the case, since there were very few pokemon by gen 2 that didn't evolve outside of legendaries. Then I ran the numbers. Doing a bit of math, Elm is still wrong. Even excluding legendary pokemon from the equation, about 10.4% of the pokedex consists of nonevolving Pokemon. Meaning the amount of pokemon that DO evolve is actually something like 89.6% at the time of Generation 2. EDIT: Whoa I was way wrong and actually forgot pokemon that don't evolve. Revised numbers are 13.3% of mons don't evolve meaning 86.7% of nonlegendary pokemon are a part of an evolutionary line.

These videos are so gripping to watch yet so equally pleasant to go to sleep to, I can’t explain it haha. It’s my ASMR

Super appreciate the use of the Energy Powder! Love that he didn't take advantage of that friendship mechanic. #truehardcorenuzlocker

Bronzong carried me so hard in this game. Levitate, leftovers, hypnosis, calm mind, psychic and heavy slam. OMG I'm so impressed by this *beastly* bell

I'd really like to see an Ice-type run, but those kinds of Pokemon are usually found fairly late and a run really isn't viable. Maybe it would be possible to use the Dream Radar thing like you did in the Dragon-type run of Black 2?

6:45 according to Bulbapedia the current statistic is 84.19% if you include Legendaries and Mythicals. If you exclude them then it’s 90.87%

Most impressive thing about this run was the time. I can’t believe you did a successful monotype hardcore Nuzlocke of this game in under 25 hours. My friend and I are doing non-Nuzlocke monotype runs (level cap, no items), and my normal type team took 36 hours to become champion. You’re the GOAT

Really enjoyed it, per usual! Obvi can do hardcore nuzlockes how it’s enjoyable to you, just after getting wormadam, I feel like having kept prinplup in the back woulda actually made it a steel type nuzlocke, especially since prinplup came in really handy for Jupiter, Larry, Wake, and Maylene. Keep up the awesome work though~

Aw yeah, this was awesome! 19/5, and deathless til the champ. This was real fun to watch!

YES FINALLY!!! SOME GAMEPLAY FOR SHINING PEARL!!!!

Wonder how many more videos can you still make on Nuzlocks? There is a finite amount of games and types. Plus, some types didn't exist before in some games and there is a lack of some Pokémon types to actually do a run. My fave videos is the one where to take a single bad Pokémon though, but these are great too :)

Do you think it would be interesting to switch the type-restriction to a shape-restriction? Love your videos!

Glad you finally acknowledged that pseudolegendaries have the same stat total as mythicals and a few minor legendaries. I always found it a bit odd when you passed up the base 580 legendaries but were fine with pseudolegendaries. I guess with pseudos, you can make the case that you need to level them up and often can't obtain them until after the eighth Gym for level caps, but it starts to strain credulity in, say, a Steel-type B2W2 run where there are wild Metang already at the level to evolve to Metagross and that's fine but Cobalion isn't .

this was such a cool run!
