Yep. I believe Shuckle has a total of 505 while both Scizor and Scyther have 500 each. Shuckle used up the majority of it's stat points into defense and special defense though.

Kyurem black had terravolt, which nullifies sturdy, so that quick claw was extremely lucky lol. Love your content

@@connaeris8230 yup that's what I exactly thought, Crustle's high Defense (plus having a Defense boosting Nature) means that even with the Teravolt negating Sturdy, he'll still survive. But, the Quick Claw definitely mattered because Crustle gets to keep Sturdy intact.

Just as a tip for anyone who wants to do this run in the future, you can get the psychic tm using surf right after undella town and the fire blast tm from the pokemon center in lacunosa town, so you can at least get volcarona some good moves before Drayden since it's level up learnset is pretty dookie

Oh, I really appreciate the fact that you did a run with this fun, but frequently overlooked type. Hoping to see more content soon 😉

19:07 Funnily enough, Kyurem-B's Ability is Terravolt, which acts the same way as Mold Breaker. That means Ant Bully would have been at risk of being KO'd if you were really unlucky. Thankfully the crit saved the day, although I don't know if the crit mattered lol

Clay's badge is supposed to be a cross section of the ground, it shows the different layers of the ground like soil and bedrock with a gem below that because he's the Mining King

That Crustle Stealth Rock strategy against Iris is great, I used it too in my HC nuzlocke. Given that Crustle is a guaranteed encounter, you just have to hope it has Sturdy. I'm a bit bummed Heracross didn't have Guts, but oh well. Great video as always!

Really wish B-Rock would finally release the full extended version of this banger

Bug is one my top favorite types, and in Gen 5, bug lovers ate good! Scoliopede and Galvantula and great.

Id love to see a Pokemon BDSP with only Poison types if you haven't done one already. I can see it being a major challenge, given the fact that there's a lot of big battles that resist Poison type moves, or are super effective against Poison. Plus, there's a gym leader immune to it.

I know it isnt in this game but I love golisopod. Definitely one of the best powerful bug types out there.

This was the first monotype nuzlocke I ever attempted and it was AMAZING. My favourites were Volcarona and Leavanny

I keep telling people that trade evolutions are lame and you should totally be able to cheat to get them evolved without that silly restriction. but hey, it's your rules. good run, some close calls and overall real good performance until the unfortunate deaths at the end.

This is definitely the strongest bug type team I’ve seen on a nuzlocke. Forget about gen1 bugs, these critters are 🔥

Omg, bug type is my favourite type and for this reason watching this video was the most relaxing thing ever. I really like this type of video, good luck for your work

The perfect video for a Sunday Evening. I just love your Nulockes their just so entertaining to watch.

Fun fact Shuckels is a type of a moving allege... I think

Thank you for keeping up the monotype runs. Rom hacks and shiny runs seem to be more popular with content creators now so I’m very grateful you’re still pumping out these great monotype vids.

I really like Heracross. It’s just so cool, and I used one in Emerald and it absolutely kicked butt!

Always love seeing new videos pop up! Thanks for making them, they are amazing and inspire me to do my own nuzlockes. Definitely Kleavor or Yanmega. You should try a HeartGold or SoulSilver water only one!!

felt like i’ve been waiting FOREVER for another vid!!! amazing content, humour, and talent:)

Best part of the week is Miss Unova and her G.O.A.T nuzlocke content

Thank you! I wanted to see a black 2/white 2 bug run for so long xD

Best nuzlocke youtuber. But now I want to see you do some more challenging ones like renegade platinum. Like other rom hacks with more pokemons and challenges

My favorite bug type interestingly enough is Volcarona. Timid with Heavy Duty Boots is insane. Btw did you keep silver wind for potential boosts? Cause the tutor in driftveil teaches Signal Beam

My favorite type and one of my favorite nuzlockers. This is gonna be a great video!

Um.... isn't piers a rockstar?

This was a very fun nuzlocke to watch lmao. Anyways u can give volcarona fire blast before u get flamethrower and u can even teach it signal beam through a move tutot

2:38 nope, there is also a Pierce, whose music star status was used in pokemon SW/SH story

My favorite bug type has to be galvantula. I just think spiders are very neat! In video games, in real life they are the bane of my existence. Scolipede and Golisopod and a close second.

Love Yanmega with Speed Boost and Volcarona 🙌🔥

It's still amazing to be able to go all the way to Iris without losing any pokemon considering the typing--but Gen 5 does have some pretty good bug types like Crustle and Volcarona. My favorite bugs are also in here too! It's Volcarona and Galvantula. Bug types definitely need more love. Good run!

I love bug types in general. My favorite pokemon of all time is a bug type, which is venonat. Grubbin, Joltik, Surskit, etc. All very cute pokemon

Im just started again to play pokemon ever since highschool.. and bug type line in gen 5 just started to diversify the overall bug types.. leavanny and escavalier are my fave bug types since i started to play gen 5 nuzlocked.. ur videos are the reason that i started playing pokemon again..

Mine has to be Araquanid, but Scizor and Scolipede are up there. Great video as always!

My favorite Bug types are Scizor and Pinsir! Great video!

awesome video! sucks Volcarona fell to Haxorus.. at least she helped cancel the apocalypse. also my favorite bug type is Galvantula :)

Thank you for another great vid! I'm a huge Scolipede and Golisopod fan

Loved this challenge!!! You did so well! I think a cool challenge would be UsUm with only Ice types. The encounters early game are a little limited, but I think that would add to the challenge!

We got a deep dive into the bands of the pokemon world AND bugs? Best vid. 👌 Best vid.

That No Joy EP sure is 🔥🔥🔥

RE Shuckle according to ye olde Bulbapedia: Shuckle seems to be based on an endolith, an organism that lives inside porous rocks or animal shells. Given its category, the Mold Pokémon, Shuckle may be based on a fungus or mold variety of endolith. Its category could also allude to fungi such as cedar-apple rust, which bears a strong resemblance to Shuckle, or fungi-like slime molds. Given its Bug typing, Shuckle may also draw inspiration from scale insects-small, shelled parasites that produce a sweet fluid called honeydew that attracts other insects. In particular, it may be based on the barnacle scale, with characteristics of actual barnacles. This species is part of the Coccidae family, also known as "tortoise scales", which may explain Shuckle's resemblance to a turtle or a tortoise. It could also be seen as a reference to the food fermentation process, with its Rock type alluding to the pottery used to store and ferment aliments in some cultures, and its Pokémon category referring to some fungi used in cultured foods. Shuckle may also have been based on certain varieties of mollusk, as it shares some characteristics with them, including the shell, the muscular but limp-seeming feet, the use of acids to receive food or to break down obstacles, the liking for fermented foods, and living close to the water. Its worm-like aspect may also take inspiration from a nematode.

Took me way too long to realize that Scolipede's nickname was a reference to " The Human Centipede".

Hey, Antlerboy. Great video as always and to answer your question, my favorite bug type is Ariados, because I'm a huge Spider-Man and Japanese Yo-kai fan boy, while my least favorite is Ledian, mainly because I forgot that it exists.

7:45 the AI is using pursuit because it thinks you’ll switch out, this is because both Emolga and Zebstrika have super effective moves. Emolga has arial ace and zebstrika has wild charge. I may be wrong, but that’s what I think.

You could do something like a Colourlocke, in which you can only use Pokémon of one colour (I think Pokémon has a set colour for each mon). This might be quite hard since there are surely some game-colour-combinations that are pretty challenging!

Scolipede choice scarf and speed boost : be fast Also have a great day man I'm surprised you did it on challenge mode must have been hard

I have an interesting suggestion Fairy type run for either ORAS or BDSP. In each case you’d only have about 4 or 5 encounters (depending on how you rule Grand Underground) but I think it’d be very cool to rerun a region in a new/super unintended way!

Oh my gosh I love the Poke Songs you made lol hahaha

Psychic from Volcarona was stronger there, it had a chance to take out Archeops after Stealth Rock depending on investment as opposed to Flamethrower which never had a shot. But you still played magnificently and I'm so happy to see a Nuzlocke with a type that never gets the love it deserves

favorite bug type? scolipede and volcarona, no challenge really glad you did a bug challenge in black 2, as gen 5 is my absolute favorite gen and i love bug pokemon ♥ great run

I really Love Antlerboy's Mono type Nuzlocked also being Miss Unova

Fantastic video. Incredible entertainment and fantastic expression of skill. I have only one complaint: Female combee evolves at 21 not 24 like you said :)

Yooo my boy back with another banger

welcome back!!! we missed u

10:50 This is the basis for the Quake Badge (Clay's badge), according to Bulbapedia: It is shaped like a vertical piece of earth, the top half of which has cracked and slid out of place, resembling the result of an earthquake, or as two tectonic plates interacting.

Honestly I think bug types are underrated yes there not that strong but there are some many cool and cute ones my personal favorite is ribombee because I find it funny that a big that looks like a fairy could take down a mighty dragon well now that I think of it that's my second my favorite number one bug is Durant not the best steel bug but I love the steel type and has one of my favorite shiny

Dude you hit those notes!!! Nice singing!

your vids always make my day better

And he's a singer, does this man have have a weakness. I'd love to see a run in a rom hack where the ai is actually smart like Emerald Kaizo.

Your videos are great sometimes you uploading a new video makes my day

This is one of your most exciting runs!

This man nuzlocked some of yhe hardest games to do so with the weakest type deathless up until the champion, kudos to him

Great run!! My favorite bug type has gotta be Scolipede! I recently did a poison only BDSP run. It was a lot of fun! You should try to my friend!

Gotta love how in most generations most big types are terrible, and in unova they decided to make not only , that every new bug type is amazing (one way or another), also they gave us the first mythical bug type

i just love that bug type is considered the weakest but has absolute units in Volcarona, Scolipede, Heracross, and Golisopod. and thats just four that are stupidly strong without considering status moves

Great content bro you are my inspiration to play Nuzlockes

My fav nuz tuber playing again!

2:33 You can’t forget Piers like that.

My boy be singing!!! My favorite bug is Surskit. He just goes "ah!"

Best gen for bug types, love gen 5 ❤️

The singing was chef’s kiss

I always enjoy watching people use the bug type in nuzlockes. They're super under appreciated because of their reputation as the weakest type Gotta say, my favorite bug type Pokémon is Durant. Durant has saved my bacon many a time in nuzlockes, and in battles against my friends

considering that piers is a gym leader he's probably famous, so i say we include piers in the famous pokemon musicians list

Favorite bug type has to go to Vikavolt! Idk why but I love it’s design
