This is when I lack confidence while doing a nuzlocke challenge, but somehow, I pulled through, having lost only 1 Pokemon. My Final Pokemon Team when I fought Ghetsis: (I won, but with a Pokemon sacrifice. Poor Darmani...) Kirby (Samurott) (Still alive) (Kirby is a star Pokemon against Hydreigon for the first time, the second starter Pokemon surviving until the end.) Zapster (Zebstrika) (Still alive) (fighting Carracosta without activating Sturdy) Lomax (Whimsicott) (Still alive) (A kindhearted Pokemon that survived) Lueroi (Excadrill) (Still alive) (skillfully dodging a Focus Blast) Sunbloom (Simisear) (Still alive) (Landing Fire Blast 2 times in a row) Darmani (Darmanitan) (died in battle) (Bouffalant used Head Charge to knock out poor Darmani, but knocked itself out in the process) Kirby the Samurott have a close near death moment where Kirby lived on 1 HP remaining with the Hydreigon nearly scaring Sunny. And Kirby hit Megahorn, knocking out Hydreigon. I brought in Darmani, thinking an Expert Belt Superpower will leave Bouffalant on a small amount of health and knocks Darmani out with Head Charge, and also knocking itself out in the process. This saddens me quite a lot because Darmanitan is my favorite Pokemon, and now I don't have a strong Fire-Type Pokemon anymore. Seismitoad came out next, and I brought in Lomax, Giga draining it. Eelektross came out, I keep Lomax in to set up Leech Seed. I didn't know that Eelektross know Flamethrower, I swap into Sunbloom to bait Flamethrower coming. Eelektross used Wild Charge, but considering that Sunbloom has a bold nature, he was able to survive, and knock out Eelektross. Ghetsis sent out his final Pokemon, Bisharp. Sunbloom hit Fire Blast, and I won the Pokemon Black nuzlocke challenge. That was an emotional rollercoaster. I was able to do the nuzlocke challenge with fear, and I won with the least amount of confidence.

I remember going through lot of struggle, losing every pokemon I loved, yet surviving the nuzlocke at last and beating the game in my first ever nuzlocke, and then follow it up with absolutely easy nuzlocke playthrough with no pokemon losses only to be swept by the first elite four. Really shows the Turtle vs Rabbit story in its extreme.

You sound like an English teacher bro, it's a pokemon battle

The game reminded Alpha how bad his luck is lol

@@timothyolmstead5880 TRUE!!!!

The Mudkip was allowed to faint

The Mudkip was allowed to win (the groudon was not)

The mudkip was drugged af

He won this actually. He lied in the vid for a better story

@@a_person5668 wait fr? You got proof? I'm curious

And then it all collapsed when the opponent _also_ had a Groudon. Just perfect.

@@gengarzilla1685 I mean it's still "SHUT UP I HAVE GROUDON" just the other way around

That would be the coward's way

@@Alpharad lol

@@Alpharad I follow

@@Alpharad Yeah that would be cowardice. We must hit the desk whenever.

@@Alpharad We all know your not afraid to decimate your desk on screen

"How I survived a randomizer nuzlocke" Well that was a fucking lie lmao

I do think Jacob’s biggest weakness in this game is his cockiness. I feel like that’s what keeps him being a relatively average competitive/items player, every time he does alright he acts like he’s invincible. He’s like the real life Pit: mid tier with an Icarus complex

Fun fact: Sunny beat the Elite Four without losing a single Pokemon. Then won to N without losing any Pokemon, but then... Ghetsis claimed her dearly beloved Darmani. Sunny: I think it will leave it at 1 health left... Yep, knew it. Bouffalant: Uses Head Charge, and knocks itself out Sunny: Darmani, no! Oh no... Ghetsis is going to use Eelektross... Come out and fight, Lomax! Lomax: (sets up leech seed to sap away at Eelektross's health) Sunny: It knew Flamethrower?! Oh dear, come out and fight, Sunbloom! Sunbloom: Resisted Flamethrower. Now to defeat Eelektross. Done. Sunny: His last Pokemon! Bisharp! I was pretty much banking on Darmani for this fight, but Sunbloom will be able to knock it out. Sunbloom: Fire Blast! Bisharp: Darn it. Sunny: Sunbloom, you're amazing. You're my special elemental monkey.

Invincible? Isn’t that a little optimistic?

@@hekirb3382 Fr it should be "How I THREW a randomizer nuzlocke"

Legit one of the only gen 3 groudon counters lmao.

@@Wapfgaming Honestly I don't think Flygon is even a counter, at least not in this playthrough. Flygon admittedly has a great defensive typing, being immune to ground and resisting both rock and fire. But what can Flygon actually do to Groudon? Earthquake? Dragon Breath? Neither of those would do much damage. I'm like 90% sure Groudon beats Flygon just by using Bulk Up and Slash. The only way I think Flygon actually handles Groudon is with some combination of Protect/Substitute/Toxic, and there's no way Alpharad would actually have this in a casual playthrough.

@@CrackLionIX Flygon can learn solar beam and dragon breath is a special attack that would have ignored bulk up. Even if it just for chip damage that's what they needed in a desperate attempt to Beat it

@@dominickperez2952 Dragon breath is simply too weak. A 60BP move (90 with STAB) from a mere base 80 SpAtk isn't enough to beat Groudon one-on-one. Solar beam would be 33% better but I think that runs into the same issue as I mentioned before - Flygon doesn't learn Solarbeam naturally and I can't imagine Alpharad teaching it the TM. To be clear I agree that Flygon would've been useful. Perhaps Flygon could've outsped and finished off Groudon with two dragon breaths, surviving one Slash in between. But my original point is true. Flygon is not a counter by any means.

It's odd how you've all been talking about Dragon Breath without mentioning its 30% paralysis chance. Given some RNG, that pesky status condition may well swing the match for Flygon. By the way, Ground types are not immune to paralysis. They're just specifically immune to Thunder Wave.

Little did he know, the one stronger than a Groudon... Is a Groudon that goes to the gym. Well, ain't that foreshadowing

Jacob’s Groudon skipped leg day

This ending is so comically perfect that I'm honestly stumped it was actually randomized.

Well, he should have used his heart scale to get Bulk Up again!

It wouldn't have mattered since crits ignore stat changes.

How ironic, that he chose not to teach his own Groudon Bulk Up, and then what ended his career was a Groudon that used Bulk Up.

The circumstances are too perfect not to comment it: I do think Jacob’s biggest weakness in this game is his cockiness. I feel like that’s what keeps him being a relatively average competitive/items player, every time he does alright he acts like he’s invincible. He’s like the real life Pit: mid tier with an Icarus complex

I mean the narration IS scripted. But Juan’s Groudon having Bulk Up was absolutely poetic oml

Wow... He is a legend of Foreshadow.

@@spynix0718 lmao I saw that comment

where did he reveal that 🙏 I gotta know

@@vist5800 in his video reacting to Pokémonchallenges reacting to his videos. And, if you look at 17:58, you can actually see his elite four team. His shellgon died in that gym fight, but at that timestamp he has a salamance.

And let's not forget that the opposing Groudon had Bulk Up. The move Jacob passed on that could have allowed him to power up.

He also failed a trapinch that would evolve into a flygon, who is also immune to ground moves

@@championglitchy6821 While doing my Pokemon Black 2 nuzlocke (I wasn't recording) Nights, my Purrloin died from Audino, DoubleSlap hit like 5 times. Oh man, without Liepard with the ability Limber, today is not my lucky day. I felt a sense of sorrow that every Pokemon that has been with me dying... with a storyline. Every Pokemon that has died... Rest in Peace, all of you... You guys will be remembered.

And don't forget the Lugia he would''ve had if he didn't randomize the master ball into a heart scale

wouldn't matter too much with both slash would one shot Murkrow and Charizard

It's like rewatching your favourite movie after seeing that behind-the-scenes featurette.

"At least I never told a lie." - Alpharad at the end of the video

Where He Tolstoi that?

Until they use their powerful moves and it kills you before you can buff

Unless you grind for 3 hours.

Yeah, this is definitely an alpharad video. Insane luck, multiple missed opportunities that don't matter cause luck, and an ending that makes you think of those terminalmontage screams.

Even when Alpharad gets bad luck, it’s the perfect luck. This man never misses.

We even got the hubris foreshadow with the maxie battle with the Ditto copied Groudon. It felt like a warning of a possible end via a well fought victory unearned, truly a beautiful death.

@@Mike-uy5ml So you're saying the Ditto was the Cassandra?

@@zed9256 Techincally a mew but yup its the Cassandra truth the rng to give

He said that line and I was immediately like “oh no”.

@@JadeHeartOfFire Meme approved

He also said that every battle would end with groudon

And thus, the monkey's paw curled

The most painful nuzlocke ending of all time: Juan sent out Groudon! GAME OVER.

He didn't even throw it, but he gave us a better show

and they say wrestling is fake

Thats alpharad for ya

"Every battle in this video WILL end with groudon"

At this point that's Chekhov's fucking STAB Earthquake

Jesus.

I had a feeling it would end something like this when he did the bulk up bit, but it was more poetic than I could even imagine.

he won the first try on this nuzlocke. he came back to lose to groudon for content. just shows how poetic the scene really was.

Don’t forget about crobat lol, he had a LOT of Pokémon who could have survived it

In that case, would the events of the previous Nuzlocke be its full-strength Final Smash?

@@Sigma_San Yes.

And it ended with Groudon, how quaint.

He said this because of Juan’s groudon, not the other way around

@@heitorzincleiton5071 Nobody said he wasn't meaning it that way.

And a groudon with bulk up to add salt to the cut

"You would have to Jomedome the entire team before losing ever started to feel like an option." The video is filled with fantastic foreshadowing.

As the Sith lord Darth Sidious once said "Ironic"

even that bulk up groudon shouldn't have been trouble for him...had he not skipped his own bulk up prior to this and thus lost the arms race to come.

His *own* Bulk Up Groudon was the instawin lol. It would have handled Wallace’s easily. Unfortunately he was still in the “only attack moves good” mindset that you have as an 8-year-old playing the game for the first time.

@@Zorua3 TBF, Groudon was able to easily delete everything before that point with just attacking moves. Sometimes buffing up is overkill.

@@Zorua3 It's not awful when you have to deal with a wide variety of types like in a randomizer, but Slash really shouldn't have gone onto the main sweeper.

He made three grave mistakes. He passed on Bulk Up. He let his Crobat die. And he let Charizard die. He couldn't buff his ace, and he lost the only good switch ins from his team.

With the right narrative it can look like it was randomized

Welllllllll about that

It wasn't. In another video (The one where he reacts to PokemonChallenges reacting to him) he said the real run had Delibird, but it was too anticlimactic, so he made up a new ending with Groudon instead.

@@xtrem5428 Yup I've seen that lol. It's funny knowing that I was actually right.

@@TheAdvertisement Hey

Lady Luck taught him a valuable lesson today. That lesson; was Slugma Nuts

Not a randomizer but I used Hariyama for the first time recently and I've gotten so attached I can't give it up for any other mon.

@@paxxisticks Slugma balls

@@WizardAmbrose Don't say no to setup moves. This will save me in the long run.

I like to imagine instead of the opponent having his own Groudon, it was Alpharad's OWN Groudon turning on Alpha and destroying his own team, realizing the power he has.

@@Rubywing4 na thats pretty dumb if you want to tho think of it that in that world all the pokemon are freed clones therfore explaining why there are so many legendaries and pokemon randomized

@@yashgidh12 I just said I liked to imagine it was his own Groudon that betrayed him, no need to call it dumb. :

Success so clearly in view or is it merely a trick of the light

In the words of Pat Boiven: " I disagree. It is a quick and efficient killer."

Slowly, gently, this is how a life is taken.

Now Alpharad must play Darkest Dungeon. Then, on the long road, he will find his redemption.

Well Jome is Groudon

Feels bad man

You poor thing

This happened to me too in Sun and Moon, this was when I was in high school, and I shiny hunted 44 hours for it and it struggled to death cause I couldn’t catch it.

Thankfully I managed to catch the actual shiny, and it was just against a normal beldum that it struggled to death. But my god, actually catching that thing was harder than catching any legendary pokemon.

I once decided to shiny hunt Beldum in the Johto Safari Zone. I got it, somehow, I'm not sure how that happened.

Sure, but a Bulked Up Groundon is still OHKO'ing those two with Slash if it can OHKO a Groundon with EQ. But I super agree that he deserved to lose this, and it was satisfying to see

Also had rock slide I believe
