Scraggy/Scrafty was a beast in BW 1and 2, but sadly the Fairy Type crushes him hard. But his high bulk, typing, abilities, and large coverage lets him do a lot of work.

I'm running mono dark in radical red, Scrafty is still very much OP, with dragon dance and drain punch. Easy to set up because of his bulk, he can sweep many of the later trainers. Fairy type has low def, and it only resists 1 stage, with boosts from dragon dances and moxies, they can be one shotted as wel.

9:57 you can only do this rock event thing if you have a fighting type on your team. So good choice in type for this run

24:35 Payback doesn't work like Revenge. Payback doubles its power if the opponent MOVES before the user, it doesn't have to hit before necessarily

Mienshao arbitrarily became one of my favorite Pokémon recently, so this was an interesting run to see.

Mienshao with max speed and attack, with fake out, acrobatics, u-turn and one fighting move (HJ kick, but drain punch is safer), is absolutely a BEAST. If you include regenerator in there, there's a free switch with recovering. Gen5 fighting pokemon are the best

Seeing a Mienshao surviving to the end gave me the motivation to keep my nuzlocke legacy alive.

I actually found a shiny Sawk in the rustling grass on route 10 when grinding Audinos. I had to do a double take because its shiny is so similar to its regular colors.

Before fairies were a thing, the only pokemon that resists its stab combination is heracross and it gets ohko'd by ice punch, thanks to its great bulk it can survive strong neutral hits and set up dragon dances to kill whatever's in front of it with drain punch and heal back to full, it also has shed skin to heal off annoying status conditions that might prevent it from sweeping or moxie to make his attacks a lot more devastating Tldr: scrafty's a freaking beast

8:57 In bulbapedia, there are two columns. One is the unrepeatable method to get something and the other is the repeatable method (held items) You have confused between both of them. You could have had it earlier....

Ah yes, good o'l Conkeldurr, the Valentine we all needed but didn't deserve

@11:34 If Watchog went for Retaliate instead of Crunch, which is what the AI usually does, you would have lost another run right there. You’ve had some crazy luck on these Nuzlockes at times!!

I trained a Mienshao on my first playthrough of White version way back in the day, and I've been obsessed with it ever since. It is a pain to get to evolve, but once you get it, the Drain Punch + Acrobatics combo is amazing!

Pierre is the last Mon standing... checks out. After all, we all know GSP is the GOAT.

8:51 You misread that table completely. The first column says “finite methods” while the second column says “repeatable methods.” What that effectively means is that the item can appear on the Wild Pokémon listed independent of location in the game. Strange how you never seemed to make that mistake in any previous run.

A true fighting type run! The last battle was LITERALLY each mon sacrificing themselves to give their teammate the best chance to win! Love this run!!

It's a good thing N's old friends are mostly weak to fighting or that last fight with him would have been the end

Scrafty is one of my fav mons, and it definitely can put in work. Nice to know you appreciate it!

I'm pretty sure you can actually thief Expert Belt from Sawk and Throh in the main game, as I did exactly that in my Pokemon Black Hardcore Nuzlocke. The post game area is just where you can find it in an item

9:20 You could try just going with a repel to shaking grass to get the other fighting type, which would make sure you could have both Throh and Sawk as well as Timburr :)

For future reference in this gen Burn and Poison do the same amount of damage so you can get your Pokémon Poisoned for Guts as well off wild mons. Poisoning attacks are typically more common and have higher chances to activate so just something to think about it.

I don’t know about everyone else, but I adore the fact that there’s a guy just standing in the desert and when you talk to him, he’s just like “Here, kid. I’m busy.” And just hands the protag a handful of sand. 😂

Silph these videos are soo consistent and the quality is always amazing! Keep up the great work

Wow! I can't believe Watchog didn't use Retaliate after Herdier fainted. I always got/saw people got hit with Retaliate every single time.

Awww yeah, Mienshao for the save! This just redeemed you for your last BW challenge. 25/5. Great work.

If you named Timburr after Overeem for the old Demolition Man gimmick from the Pride FC days, then my dude that is legit genius.

I do love the Challenge Rock Easter egg. You can go back each day and use your mon’s to chip some items off it. Wish more world building stuff like this happened across these games.

15:40 intimidate is the hidden ability

37:53 head smash was correct there also great run I absolutely love black 1 and white 1 runs since you are only using gen 5 mons I'd love to see more of them

Silph I can’t begin to express how much I enjoy your nuzlockes. Everything from your soothing voice, the lighthearted humor and clever strategizing really makes for great content. Actually, I would have to say you’re my favorite! Happy early Valentine’s!

gen 5 is my favourite gen so i would love to see more vids in this gen, also maybe you could try a colourlocke soon where you only use certain coloured pokemon according to serebii or pokemon db

5:26 Pickup has the ability to pickup any one-time use items that the opponent used during that turn, granted they have no item themselves. So when you're oran berry activated the lillipup was able to get an oran berry in the same turn. I didn't even know about this until recently because it's such a rare interaction.

Always a pleasure to see a new one of these

Lived the mma references in this video havent finished watching but knowing alistair overeem he might get knocked out lmao

Two tips: Outside Pinwhell forest, the best option is try to find a Sawk/Throh in the shaking grass instead Timburr. Then caught a Timburr in the Cold Storage. Then caught a Sawk/Throh on Route 18. This way, we will have 4 pokémon before Clay and a complete team before Iris/Drayden.
