Trade Evolutions may be strong but they are still balanced. If you are allowed to theoretically use a Dragonite, Garchomp or Tyranitar you should be allowed to use Alakazam, Gengar or Dusknoir. In some Games you could talk about a ban if they are guaranteed encounters, but as a whole you should be allowed to use the full spectrum of non-legendary Pokemons especially in Monotype-Challenges.

Honestly? Instead of a blanket Legendary ban, I usually implement a BST-based ban with some flexibility. Pokémon with a BST of 600 or below are always allowed with the exception of mystery gift Pokémon, the QR code Magearna from Sun and Moon, etc. Regigigas and Slaking are also allowed because of their garbage abilities. This also has the side-effect of banning most Megas, though I do additionally ban Mega Gengar in XY and Mega Alakazam and Mega Medicham in ORAS. This means that Abomasnow is the only legal Mega in XY and only Beedrill, Pidgeot, Slowbro, Pinsir, Heracross, Mawile, Sableye, Altaria, Banette, and Absol are legal Megas in ORAS.

my method of evolving trade evo's is "after 3rd evo" meaning 3 or more of my pokemon need to level up to their 2nd stage evolution before I trade evolve. It makes me care more for the "weaker" pokemon since they become required for me to gain access to the evolution. I also tend to try and build a team that it can slot into rather than trying to build around it. There have been times that I've skipped out on golem because graveler aestetically fit into the team better. Has lead to me enjoying each step of the evolution tree a lot more than just seeing them as a stepping stone to a "strong pokemon" Had a time where I had starter evolved, regional bird evolved, and richu, got alakazam for the team and was HYPED. Lost Richu to a battle, had to box alakazam until I could get another evolution. It made me feel like the butterfree I got then, was like a hero to my team, coming to comfort my starter and pidgeot, and give alakazam the strength to continue on. when alakazam sacrificed itself at the champion to give butterfree the safe swap in for status set up, I imagined him being like "inspire the next generation, help them grow, be their guide, I'll be watching you" Such an emotional champion match, which to me I felt was a HUGE benefit to the playthrough.

The intro hahaha, you never cease to amaze me with your creativity flygonhg, your videos are so captivating, almost like a firework show so I drop everything just to watch them as soon as i get the notification. :)

This was probably my favorite video you’ve made so far. The balance between silliness and hardcore Pokémon analytics is just perfect. I really like seeing your style evolve, and especially your comedic writing becoming more fitting (and funny) while somehow being less “in the way” than it was before. Keep up the AMAZING work!

I'd say trade evolution are fine in hard-core nuzlocks, but if you wanted to make it more interesting, only evolve them at level 36 onward since that's the same level as a fully evolve starter.

I ADORE seeing the trade evos! They're strong and rarely used due to how difficult it is to get em. And this run was great. Seeing so many new interesting pokemon being used in this inverse world was great. I'd love to see this continuing with more games like a series!

Trade evolutions are good! For regular trade evolutions (plus Shelmet+Karrablast), evolve them whenever. For trade evolutions with an item, wait until you get the item in game before evolving it. I think that's the fairest way to do it.

i like seeing trade evolutions, it’s nice to see different pokémon being used and i’m willing to bet that being able to use different pokémon makes these videos more fun to make

I really love the emphasis on storylines & ur pokemon that u put into these videos, it’s very rare to see nuzlockers actually mourn the pokemon they lose, & as a viewer, that’s one of the most interesting parts for me! Keep it up!

That intro was great and completely worth it

That intro looked and felt like it was directed by Michael Bay. Truly a cinematic masterpiece!

I like seeing the trade evolutions for pretty much the same reason you mentioned. There are a great number of good and interesting pokemon that you wouldn't normally get to use. It just provides for a little more variants in the nuzlockes personally

Great vid as always! Regarding trade evolutions, I think it’s definitely more fun to have them available because it leads to more team diversity and shows off a pokemon you wouldn’t normally see in a play through. However, I think having some kind of delay prior to evolving them helps keep things fair. Like if you evolve a Kadabra into Alakazam at level 16, that really trivializes the early game having such a phenomenal attacker to sweep through everything with. Waiting until you get a certain number of gym badges, or a certain level would solve that potential issue. Just my 2 cents

That intro is based af

Okay, so having a BST 500 mon like Gengar or Alakzam at around Level 16 which is usually the second gym is fine? Bear in mind that your starters BST is 405-420 depending on the Gen's. Having ~100 more BST means your ether hitting Way harder, or tanking hits to where even 2 or 3 crits in a row might not actually do anything to your team? Why do you think certain trade items are ether late game, or their associated mons are accessible in later routes?

@Nuclearstomp

I didn't explain very well I guess. I meant even if you have the correct evolution item, add a restriction anyway just in case, like needing a certain badge #. I forgot a lot of Gen 1 mons evolve just by trading. I'm always under the assumption that you generally aren't evolving your trade mon midgame unless you're playing a rom hack.

I'm all for using trade evolutions! I never get to use them myself so it's nice to see them in action.

I love Gengar and Alakazam which are some of the few trade evolutions I was ever able to talk my siblings into helping me out with and I feel Golem and Machamp are really cool and under used as well so I’m all for seeing trade evolutions! I think the rule of evolving them at or around level 36 is smart and well balanced too. The inversion runs are really interesting and fun, it’s cool to see the type chart flipped as it breathes a bit more challenge into the game to remind yourself of the new matchups.

Man these videos are splendid. Absolutely love them

just wanted to say youve really got into the swing of it with the humor in these videos. the predicting the future bit made me laugh so hard, keep it up :)👍 also, i say you can use trade evos, theyre super fun to watch people use in nuzlockes

This is easily my favorite Flygonhg content yet. Keep up the great videos dude

Great video, one of my favorites. They keep getting better and better.

I like seeing trade evolutions personally, me and some friends do what we call "Pheonix Evolutions" which is not allowing trade evolutions to evolve until they would die, and giving them a second chance at life. It lowers the difficulty a bit which is fine for casual nuzlockers.

Love the videos mati! One thing I’d like to see in future challenges is matching the level cap to each individual e4 member. I mean we’re using rare candies anyway, might as well use them between matches so that the first member isn’t always so trivial. Also I like seeing the trade evos as long as they’re evolved at an appropriate level (i.e. not immediately after evolving into their second stage)

great video as usual, dude!! always so entertaining and creative. i don’t know how you do it every single time but i love it :)

regarding the trade evo question, i'm all for variety! the more pokémon we get to see in your videos the better ^^

I didn't know or forgot that Ghost resist Steel types in Gen 4. I was so confused why Shadow Ball was super effective on Steelix and Bastiodon.

i’m sorry, did flygonhg just call ponyta a horse??? that’s clearly a cow

I always look forward to your videos because of how creative you make them! All the little touches and effort that you put into your videos really makes you shine! Keep on, FlygonHG! Also trade evolutions are cool

The Pokémon Reaper Rant was simply beautiful. I almost shed a real tear 😂😂😭

If you're using rare candies anyways, why not change the level cap as you progress through the Elite Four? So you'd face Aaron with a level cap of his strongest, then Bertha with a level cap of her strongest, etc. I suggest this because I noticed you often mention the first few members are pushovers

For me personally, I only like seeing trade evolutions if there aren’t too many encounters available. In videos like these with so many options already, there doesn’t seem a need for it as it is then taking a slot away from a Pokémon you would find naturally. But in runs where there’s less than, say, 10 encounters I don’t tend to mind. But at the end of the day it’s fine whatever you choose to do :)

Ice types normally: crying bc they get stomped Ice types in inverse battles: YOU ARE BETWEEN ME AND THE WALL, AND I AM THE WALL

Glad you're having more fun with intros and bits! They're always such a funny part of the vids.

I’m really torn on the issue of trade evos! On one hand they are really cool and I like seeing them in Nuzlocks (I personally use them in mine). However, I also really appreciate and “respect” when they aren’t used, because they are very good. Sometimes even OP arguably. Though kind of messy and not ideal, I really like Uncle JimTendo’s versions where they replace trade evos with other evo methods. Making it so you can’t just auto evo them after they get to second stage and have to survive until they can reach final form. Though I could see where that’s hard to explain in a video. Love your vids, keep it up!

wow its already saturday~

I know in one of your stand you mentioned that a few of your videos hasn’t done as well as you hoped. This video was a lot more upbeat it feels like. Keep up with the great content and continuous creativity! Also, yes to trade evolutions.

I think for trade evolutions it's not about them being trade evoultions the problem some people have is that they are very strong and can trivialise certain parts of games as you can get them quite early on. I'd say treat them like you do pokemon such as Gyrados, Snorelax, ect. Use them occasionally, when you need to for a challenge or if you are simpily feeling like using them. Provided you aren't spaming them or using them consistently as cheap tricks I think we will all enjoy watching still.

Great intro. I know the nicknames are just the species names backwards, but they kinda sound like Soulsborne boss names to me, lol. Also, cue me screenshotting that letter and desperately changing the colors and lighting and contrast to get as much of the Nosey lore as possible. Edit: I'm cool with allowing trade evolutions! If you're worried they might be too powerful, you could maybe enforce a level requirement for them. Like, maybe you're not allowed to trade evolve them until they're at least level 40 or so? Something like that.
