How I Beat My First Hardcore Pokémon Nuzlocke 

For those confused about the final scene, this takes place before my Legends Arceus nuzlocke. There's your hint 👀

Dialga: What are you doing here? Jaiden: He went for the memes and failed. Dailga: Carry on

"You thought I would listen to chat?" Moxie is an absolute madlad xD

Jan is going to be so proud for all the prep! At least. . . Until he loses his mind over the garchomp fight xD

9:44 "That's a lot of money" he says after streaming a three-part "If my pokemon dies, I give away a copy of Scarlet or Violet". Moxie you are something else

Moxie: Shows Gastrodon fighting Garchomp. Also Moxie: Tries to convince us Gastrodon will die right before Garchomp coming out.

I have to say, the friendship mechanic does succeed in making good stories, even if it is kinda broken

The moonblast to metronome made my heart sink the ending was amazing tho

I'm amazed how a single Metal Coat made Moxie pay 460$ just so he could get a Sizcor xD

I can hear Jaiden now. "I told you Gastrodon was the best Pokemon"

He actually made BDSP challenging… *BEFORE CYNTHIA*

Moxie: *Has Jaiden use choice specs metronome* Also Moxie: "Jaiden, what are you doing!?"

Honestly, I would never have the guts to make risky choices like locking into metronome because of the moves it could give you (like tackle). Somehow, you still made a comeback. Love the content, and congrats on beating your first hardcore nuzlocke.

Wow, Moxie, the quality of your videos just keeps getting better. LOVE the pacing and the lilttle sprite animation bits to explain stuff in this one. Super nice video, cant wait to see you play Scarlet and Violet :) if you're planning to stream, I'll be sure to watch you while I explore Paldea as well. Keep up the good work ♥

Having moxie troll the chat and the chat troll back is both wholesome and hilarious. I will always stay up until 3 in the morning when he streams.

I love how moxie basically just trolls chat like 24/7

Everyone sleeps on Gitafarig, but it was thebmain reason I was excited for BDSP. And also why I'm ecstatic about Farigiraf. Rupert the Girafarig fought hard against Cynthia, and has earned his evolution.

The triple crit Machop sums up most of my Nuzlocke attempts

That friendship mechanic is insane my torterra dodged Cynthia's Garchomp so many times. I loved it so much that Torterra became my favorite.

Moxie: I need to beat this before scarlet and violet come out Also moxie: LET'S THROW THE FINAL FIGHT AGAINST THE LAST POKEMON BY USING CHOICE SPECS METRONOME!!

Dialga: No resetting your way out of this one, Jaiden Jaiden: But I'm not that- Dialga: I'm aware. But even gods allowed to be petty sometimes. Farewell. *Proceeds to banish Jaiden to the past.*

Moxie, your battle style cracks me up every time. The metronome meme was hilarious and completely on point with your gaming aesthetic 😂😂 never change!!

Loved catching these streams, and getting to be there for the end. A legendary journey!

I love that PChal is the boogieman of the nuzlocke community

I love how well Moxie is tied to Gen 4

Thank you for showing pink Shellos/Gastrodon some love. Everybody seems loves the blue one..

I just finished your type swap nuzlock this morning XD I didn’t know there was a BDSP nuzlock too! Why haven’t I been notified of your streams? Hyped for SV nuzlock next!!

As always an amazing nuzlocke to watch, even if the deaths Hurt like hell sometimes

Hell yeah, our boy steppin' up to the big league. My lunch break tomorrow just got insanely better 😁

That's hilarious. My first playthrough of this game ended with my Roserade dodging Earthquake due to friendship and finishing with Dazzling Gleam, too.

Honestly such a risky play at the end but if it worked it would've gone down in nuzlock history that was a good run Moxie

I love your nuzlockes!!! I was on the edge of my seat on that end game!! Love the artwork too! Can't wait to see how you'd play scarlet and violet!

I LOVED the music choices for big moments. Well played!

Your commentary throughout the Nuzlocke makes me laugh, Moxie. I'm also proud for all the prep you did in getting this dub. CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR FIRST HARD Nuzlocke WIN!! 👏👏👏👏👏

Man this was SOMETHING to be apart of live, I'm so excited for the SV nuzlocke & the video from the HG nuzlocke.

The difficulty curve in bdsp is so crazy

Congratulations on the successful Nuzlocke! Like last time, Cynthia was insane. The music choice and video editing were great as well (not the biggest fan of the frequent use of the dramatic sting at the end tbh, but it's completely fine tbh). Ending was also pretty cool, really provided closure and whatnot.

I love how epic and dramatic you made your videos. Can't wait for Scarlet and Violet ❤️

Love watching your nuzlockes! Please keep up the amazing content!

Loved the ending of the video! Great cliff hanger! Everything with Dialga was great foreshadowing! Loved it!

I think this is your best video yet, Moxie! 10/10 entertainment, start to finish! Congrats on winning even after almost snatching defeat from the jaws of victory!

I am more and more amazed by your storytelling skills with each video you upload! I couldn't take my eyes off the screen for a second, truly impecable ❤

the bulbasaur doodle @ 2:25 is so cute!

I enjoy each new video more than the last. Your editing and storytelling skills are incredible. Keep up the good work and the funny and entertaining videos!! ♥

Man, that was pretty intense with some big brain strats. You still threw with that Metronome tho bruh. It was a great watch though. Can't wait to see you play Scarlet and Violet.

That ending was insane. If metronome worked I would have flipped out

Love your videos, I wish you would upload more often but I understand the work that you put in, well worth it. Looking forward to the new game.

15:44 You did it because it would be funny, dangerous, but most of all, perfect for content... or u did it because your just too good at the game, i belive both options P.S: no, i'm not saying that moxie did this just because of the content, if you did not notice until now, this comment is a joke, thanks for reading this

I'd never thought I would see a play dumber than Onix v Jynx but yet here we are, Choice Specs Metronome instead of Choice Specs Moonblast v Garchomp. I'm... speechless

This was phenomenal dude!!! Loved every bit of it

Your videos are always so freaking delightful. Definitely turned the end of my day around 💜 And I finally caught your most recent Nuzlocke streams! I stayed up until 5am to watch, but it was so much fun. Keep making quality content Moxie, it always makes my day ☺️

that was a fuckin ROLLERCOSTER OF EMOTIONS at the end omg

The ending is Jaiden getting time travelled by Dialja to the Arceus Nuzlocke and Kill God. The Moxie Cinematic Universe is Upon us!

Congratulations on beating your first hardcore nuzlocke. You did an amazing job on this video, can't wait to see your next one.

The moxie lore is so amazing! Can’t wait to see where it goes in the Paldea region! 🙌🏻

OMG, that bulbasaur around the 2 minute mark is the happiest bulbasaur that ever happied. I love the sped up doki doki song

the "you thought a gastrodon would die to that?" was one of the most badass scenes i've ever seen

I started watching you when you did the giveaway streams and you're starting to become one of my favorites.

That was an incredible video. Good job recovering from that near throw.

Thx for the upload before scarlet and violet. Can’t wait for your soul silver/heart gold speedy nuzlocke.

The DBS UI music at the end, was perfect!!! Beautiful video Mox 😊 I'd love to see the complete run tbh (though sometimes I don't like your videos cause it's too much hype, scream, passion but this one was perfectly balanced 😁❤️❤️)

Bruh, when you pulled out that metronome, you had me banging my head against the desk. Nevery change, Moxie. Never change. Love the content and the art.

Legit insane editing skills! Sick video!!

Ngl, I thought the Art of Dialga and Clefairy was forshadowing that Metronome would choose Roar of Time xD Especially with all that build up xD

Super entertaining - please do many more nuzlockes

The Puffcake run! Let's gooooo!!! Also the art at the end...✨❤️

your story telling has improved massively its really insane dude, keep it up

great ending scene I almost started crying keep up the good content!👍👍👍

I just love your edit. It’s so fantastically dramatic! 😂😂😂😂

I am so excited for Scarlet and Violet, and Moxie is badass “U thought I would listen to chat?”😂😂😂

Keep up the great work with the nuzlockes moxie was great time watching them

Love the videos, where I get most information from. Also DANG THE HAIR

Moxie, these are so much fun to watch! 🤣 GG man!

How to take down Garchomp : Send out a Gardivor which knows trick room with a focus sash. Set up trick room. Send out Gastrodom which knows ice beam and take down Garchomp

23:25 and ADs pop up!!! The suspension killed me 😭😂😂

Congratulations on your win! can't believe you opted out of Moonblast, for Metronome! Glad to see it wasn't a run killer- can't have a $400 + dollar Scizor for nothing- but damn ya could of gotten a clean win. Tho i mean it did make it interesting to watch tho. Overall you played this Nuzlock extremely well!

Phenonmenal art and reactions as always. Congratulations Hardcore Champion

One thing I've recently started trying in my prep is setting up my pokemon to abuse their abilities outside of Guts, which I'd already done a ton. For instance, for the Silver fight in Victory Road on my HGSS hardcore nuzlocke, I got my Typhlosion down to 25% through Substitute use, or Blaze range. Gave it the Power Herb for a reason I will talk about when I summarize the battle. Started with Forretress and used 3 Spikes for a certain pokemon in the back. Then sacked the Primo egg Slugma, switched into Typhlosion, and started spamming Blaze boosted Flamethrower. Soon, his Feraligatr came in. After calcs, I knew I needed all 3 Spikes layers to kill Feraligatr with the Power Herb Solar Beam from Typhlosion, allowing me to sweep without losing any major team members

Yes!! Im so excited! I enjoy your videos so much! 🥰🎉

The streams from this run was so hilarious. I was laughing for hours 🤣

I laughed at how you predicted & shutdown Steelix & Mismagius in the gyms... good job

JC is a chad, ty for the membership! It won’t go to waste I’ll make sure to give my support to this channel as well

Moxie Moxie Moxie. Love your content and cannot wait for more. I do hope to see you do more Hardcore Nuzlockes.

Really love your content man just the best

I'm so in love with how you drew Jaiden the Clefable XD

The metronome tackle absolutely killed me

The drawing d at the ends are sooo fricking cooool!!!

I remembered I was down to my Torterra with Protect, Wood Hammer, Synthesis, and zero PP Earthquake. Was a nightmare since I used all of my revives earlier in the battle. Could not get a crit with Wood Hammer to save my life.

In the cynthia fight against garchomp with clefable u could have Switch into scizor in a poison jab than into gyarados in a earthquake and into clefable in a dragon claw to kill with a moonblast

We literally had a war in chat over Metronome omfg that chaos was fking amazing. Long live Moxieverse I'm so ready

Moxie looked victory in the eye and said I like my odds and chose the gamble for the content respect of the highest order to you good sir

I remember when I did my first ever nuzlocke I was willing to try to finish. I got all the way to the elite four, and none of it was luck from the friendship mechanic. Most of the elite four except Burny who almost killed my Bubbles the Gastrodon. When it finally came to Cynthia though I finally lost a Pokémon, and it was my Bronzong named Coin who got mirror coated. When it finally died most of Cynthia’s team was easy. At the end there was one single time friendship mechanic may have helped but it was missing a minus 1 attack dragon claw so it wouldn’t matter. Cynthia still scary as heck though.

Loved this vid moxie keep up the good work.

Moxie is so entertaining! I love the art too!

I can't wait to see how PChal reacts to you saying "He isn't going to react to this" lololol

This will once be known as legendary! And the best video on RU-vid!

Coincidentally half of his strats in Cynthia's fight were same as PChal's strats: Specs Clefable to one-shot Spiritomb. Leech Seed Roserade against Milotic ( though this is not 100% foolproof, still pretty close. Like, an 8% chance this might not work ) Lowering Garchomp's Speed, damaging it a bit and ...... LET'S JUST TROLL AROUND, SHOULD WE?

6:50 at least you have an garenteed Gible now, while I got none cause of that Bronzor

This is dramatic humourous and just perfect!
