Pokemon Emerald is one of my favorite games of all time... but can we beat its hardest challenge with the weakest type?! It's time to attempt a hardcore nuzlocke of Pokemon Emerald with only Bug types!
We've done some hard Pokemon challenges in the past, but usually they were a solo Pokemon challenge run. What if we still did a really difficult challenge... but with a full team using hardcore nuzlocke rules, and with only one type? Today we find out: can I beat a Pokemon Emerald Hardcore Nuzlocke with only bug types? No items and no overleveling!

Monotype Hardcore Nuzlocke Ruleset:
(1) If a Pokémon faints, it must be permanently boxed or released.
(2) Only the first type-specific Pokémon encountered in each Route/Area can be caught.
(3) No Legendaries/Mythicals, duplicates, or same-evolution-line Pokémon can be caught or used. If a duplicate is encountered, the next unique type-specific Pokémon encounter can be caught.
(4) Additional Pokémon may be caught for the purpose of HM use, but these may not be used in battle at any time during the run.
(5) No Items can be used in battle (Held Items are allowed).
(6) Party Pokémon levels are limited to the highest level Pokémon of the next Gym Leader or Elite 4 Member. So long as your Pokémon are at or below the level cap when the Gym Leader/Elite 4 Member battle starts, they can level up mid-battle.
(7) "Set" Battle Mode must be used at all times.
(8) No connecting with other games for the purposes of trading/importing Pokémon, Items, etc.

I'd imagine the reason why the Aqua Grunt takes a step back is because he is cowering away from you more than anything else. Since this is the same grunt from before in PetalBurg Woods, it's pretty safe to say he'd rather not lose to bugs a second time.

@Zenrei03 2 года назад

Yeah I was thinking that they were doing the whole fake bravado thing but in actuality they step back because they're actually scared.

@kohinoorbanerjee4009 2 года назад

Armaldo is actually one of my favourite bug type designs, but I was kinda disappointed to find that it is slow af. Still, pretty bulky, pretty strong attack, hope it will be useful.

@nablamakabama488 2 года назад

I love it too. It’s my favourite fossil. It’s design is amazing, with the weird anomalocaris head and upper body from its pre-evolution, the red eyes and 2 additional eyes on the sides of his head, the horseshoe crab thorax, the winglike structures attached to it and the more T-Rex like lower body, the giant claws and the spikes on its tail. It’s such an interesting combination of weird components. Also the rock type makes it very useful against a lot you wouldn’t expect a bug to survive (like fire and flying).

@DeuxisWasTaken 2 года назад

31:52 yeah, that's the main problem with Shedinja. There's a bunch of attacks that based on type alone shouldn't be able to damage it, but still do. Future Sight and Hail being the top annoyances in a Hoenn playthrough.

@ponyboy9765 2 года назад

This nuzlocke really showcased your ability to strategize battles. The bug type really relies on status conditions and strategy more than brute strength.

I’ve only been watching you for a short amount of time (since about October of 2021) but you got me through having a devastating COVID-19/pneumonia experience alongside losing my father the same month. I discovered nuzlockes through your channel while I was sick and these videos were the only thing that caught my interest during my illnesses. Every video is spectacular and I eagerly await each and every upload. Thank you for your dedication, Silph.

@pieoverlord 2 года назад

Honestly, knowing how the coding for the GBA games were, the reason that Grunt steps back was probably as simple as choosing the wrong tile when placing the sprite for the first event (where he yells at you), having previously placed the NPC with the battle one pace back. Rather than deleting the NPC from the first event, they just slapped on him stepping back into his appropriate tile and called it a cowardly character moment.

@Allfath3r 2 года назад

Appreciate the perspective but you’re overthinking it. The reason he steps back is because he’s meant to be a grunt you’ve already previously battled, so he’s become afraid of you. It’s just a little joke on the part of the developers.

@denvitar3128 2 года назад

I'd love to see a pokemon black hardcore nuzlocke with only ground types, because of the level caps, it would probably be the hardest nuzlocke because you can only use drilbur until castelia city, and even once you catch sandile, the next gym has both grass and bug attacks, so without and rock, ice, flying, fire or poison attacks, the gym would be painful

I did a bug run in Alpha Sapphire (not nuzlocke though, I’m crap at those just a run) and yeah Armaldo really becomes your best friend, it’s sooooo goood. It’s literally amazing , I’d never given it much thought before but yeah these videos inspired me to start doing monotype runs and Armaldo has shot up my ranking as one of my favourite bug types

@SilphSpectre 2 года назад

Can be very helpful against both Fire and Flying types which are otherwise big trouble for Bug types, so I wholeheartedly agree! Plus it's been a favorite of mine since I first used it in my Ruby playthrough way back in the day :D

@davidahia8311 2 года назад

Silph, you really played well through all of this, and deserve major kudos. I also just realized that the entire elite four seems balanced around beating Shedinja: Ice, Dark, and Ghost all go through wonderguard, and Drake has a good number of flying moves. Steven, as a Steel and Rock trainer, also seems well equipped to deal with Shedinja. I can't think that was a coincidence, but even still, you found a way to really leverage all your mons. I loved whenever Ninjask baton passed to Shedinja: so cute! They were once the same person! And they're still working together as one!

@zeckemyro7031 Год назад

If it helps in future playthroughs: delaying Nincada's evolution for lvl 25 and teaching Ninjask Swords Dance after evolution will also give it to Shedinja. That only works in gens 3 and 4, though. Also, rock and ground don't resist Bug. Only Xatu's Flying-Type does on Tate & Liza's team.

@maguirebentz797 2 года назад

Little error I wanted to address, Tate and Liza actually have 3 Pokémon week to bug type moves, rock and ground don’t resist bug so Xatu is the only mon that’s neutral to bug. Love your videos silph! Sorry if I’m too nitpicky but 1) comments help the algorithm, 2) it’ll prevent you and others from making sub optimal choices in future.

Fun Fact: In this particular context, Archie actually called his grunts, "simps" as a way to call them idiots because when you really think about it, the word, "simp" is actually the shortened version of the word, "simpleton," which also means, "idiot."

I like Shedinja, and it makes sense. A ghost spirit haunts the shell left behind by the newly evolved Ninjask, which is honestly just another pokedex horror story waiting to happen. I half expect a new entry to confess that shedinja are created by the displaced spirits of children victimized by the drowzee and driffloon lines.

@fortello7219 2 года назад

Have you considered a weather team based nuzlocke? A little niche but the idea is you have to take pokemon based around a weather type. This means the type(s) usually associated but also Pokemon that have abilities or other useful synergies. Like a sand team having Cacnea because of it's ability. The main drawback is that you also have to use the weather effect in every gym/important battle when possible.
