Pokémon Scarlet Hardcore Nuzlocke - Bug Types Only! (No items, No overleveling) 

"Bug types evolve early" Larvesta: 👁👄👁

“Time to DELELELWHOOP-SOME ASS” is my new favorite quote for all of 2024 and will be hard to beat

"Quatro Three" is the perfect name for Forretress and I am shocked that I never noticed how well that works

Bugs have improved drastically over the years but damn does Spidops suck. Lokix is pretty dope though

Spidops is one of the cruelest jokes in the franchise. HP: 60 Atk: 79 Def: 92 Sp. Atk: 52 Sp. Def: 86 Speed: 35 Total: 404 They gave this Gen 9 Pokémon the stats spread of a Gen 2 Pokémon.

Not the kricketune cry 😂

I think what sucks about the Lokix loss the most is that it has Throat Chop, a move that it not only learns at level 36, exactly the level cap of Larry, but it also eliminates the usage of sound attacks. Since Torch Song is a sound attack and that's the only Fire-Type move that Nemona's Skeledirge ever learns at this point and beyond, all of those sacrifices you made to that crocodile would have been prevented very easily.

12:24 if your Lokix was level 36, it would have learned Throat Chop, effectively shutting down Skelerdirge and saving you many mons in the process lol

I'm 'buzzing' with excitement to watch this video.

Finally a run that uses vespiqueen and they survived their first battle, a first on many nuzlocks

LET'S GO! I was in fact just rewatching your Pokémon Y Poison Monotype, and was appreciating the beauty that is Scolipede. Not in this game, yes, but STILL A BUG! Loving this run, Antler!

Even if only for novelty, Spidops could've made a reasonable Bug/Normal candidate. Nine generations in and still we haven't filled out every type combo XD A great run though. Always appreciate bug types, they're such charming chaps

Yanmega is one of the most underrated pokemon ever.

11:58 When Axl Forgot That Volcarona Exists

I don’t know how they manage to make Scizor look more and more incredible, but they do

I liked the little "Ahh" when he caught Surskit. Great video man!!

Well, you technically DID end the fight with Nemona in the most humiliating way possible. Poor, poor Quatrothree

fyi there's a couple of possible Indigo Disk encounters - it's possible to find a Dewpider as low as level 50 in the Savannah or Coastal Biome, and Joltik as low as level 50 in the Polar or Canyon Biome. Probably not particularly useful, but maybe helpful for someone who's incurred heavy losses by that point and needs to fill out the team. Venonat also seems to have been entirely forgotten here, and that's in the base game lol. Kitakami has Spinarak, Volbeat, and Illumise for sack fodder, I guess. Well, Ariados might have SOME utility.

Kricketune with the all-le-le-le-eee - oop last second

The editing in this video was top knotch! Keep it up guy

if lokix didnt get knocked out he would've been perfect for geeta, literally solos her

"Because he's a little bi-"🤣🤣

Is Blueberry Academy post-game only? I know you have to finish the Teal Mask for it but having Araquanid could have been worth

Bug will forever be my favorite typing so I got excited when I saw you post this run. Especially with the cool new bugs we got this generation. Spidops, Lokix and Rabsca are awesome and fun to use imo

Bug runs are my favorite! Thanks for this. 🙂

Hey Axl, heads up - if you want to avoid the friendship mechanics the let you dodge moves and live on 1 HP… you can lower your Pokémon’s friendship by using herbs to heal instead of potions throughout the playthrough

It bugs me how underrated you are

Immediately liked for the kricketune subscribe. Top tier.

these uploads make my day frfr

Bug and dark types are unironically my favorite types. I feel like they always have at least a couple bangers in each generation. If not for power then at least for looks.

The damn outro LOL, Good stuff antler!

You know what bugs me?! The fact that this video is so goated!

Still waiting for the day when the Champ of a new region is a bug trainer

Fun fact Rabsca is scarab but spelled differently.

"there's isn't a single bug encounter in the game that takes neutral damage against fire" Larvesta and Dewpider: 👁️👄👁️

As per usual, my favorite bug type Scizor is the mvp its always ment to be. Gamefreak was cooking when they gave Scyther that evolution.

My favourite antlery guy is back!

I´ve tried this myself, the DLC helps a ton if you use early heracross at level 13 plus vicavolt for bomberdier. Also did the blueberry academiy leage with kleavor araquarid and scizor (since I can´t trade) for new gen nuzlockes the bug type roaster is the best.

Liked the little Sokka reference at the end there

It took me 15 minutes to understand Forretress nickname and honestly Quatrothree is underrated

Been out of the loop for a while and just came back to your channel today to check up and see how youve been and was surprised with an upload 🖤 hope youre doing well in 2024

thanks for this video. this was very fun

Hi, Antlerboy! You seemed especially frustrated with the affection/friendship mechanics in this episode, but luckily there's a way around them: They only happen as a result of picnics. If you never bring a Pokemon into a picnic, they will never trigger the dodging, bonus critting, hanging on so you don't cry, etc mechanics. Hope that was helpful!

31:44 was that a Sokka reference “I’m just a guy with a boomerang I didn’t ask for all this flying and magic”

Even if bug type are the weakest defensively its good offensively against some strong types like dark and psychic

our lord and god has uploaded!

love these vids

As someone named Atticus, Scarlett videos always confuse tf out of me for a sec

Happy 300K!!!!

The kricketune noises are what I'm here for 😂

Always a good time when you get home and *ding* Antlerboylive has uploaded

Once again, another run where Scizor shows how unnecessary it getting a Mega evolution was, its already just so strong. Nice to see some Yanmega appreciation, its always a solid member of my Kaiju teams as Megaguiras and a horribly underrated Pokemon.

The ending got me, so very true!

The one time we hear antler cuss without audio cuts. 16:52

“Quattrothree” is an amazing nickname 😂

You gotta feel for Scizor watching the three bugs before him fall

You should try to do the two DLC of Scarlet and Violet while in hardcore nuzlocke, it would be REALLY HARD, but fun

Omg an antlerboi video ... Today is a good day ❤

IF I wasn't already subscribed, the Kricketune joke would have absolutely gotten me.

I would love to see a bug type nuzlocke run in legends arceus

The internet shall remember your buffoonery in this video 🤣🤣🤣

Throat Chop 🪓 the Skeiedirge 💀💀💀

This is peak, I love how Vikavolt while on 3hp tanked another hit cuz of friendship

I hope you do a steel run! Love steel types! I think you can even get a metagross. Be cool to get a shiny one and win the game :D

just feed your Pokemon bitter medicine to make sure the friendship mechanic doesn't activate

Bug type Pokémon are the coolest

I feel like having a stat sheet after a run would be such a cool idea. Maybe not for every Pokémon but if one Pokémon absolutely dominates a Nuzlocke you could show KO’s, most used move, close calls, etc. idk how it would work but a thought regardless

I think the reason there is no bug type starter is because it will mess up the type triangle because all starters have to be supsr effective agaims eachother and when the starters was dual type the second type also has to be super effective meaning that unless i am wrong one starter will always be weaker then both as the 2 other starters will be super effective but i probobly wrong

It's a shame a fair few of my favorite bugs aren't in the game even with the DLC: Dwebble/Crustle, Venipede/Whirlipede/Scolipede, Shuckle, Anorith/Armaldo, Sizzlipede/Centiskorch, and Durant.

I am so glad he used scizor it is my favorite pokemon

Would be nice if revival blessing actually revived a Pokémon in nuzlockes

The whole time I was yelling that you could get a dewpider in the indigo disc 😂

Nice video

I did a monotype bug run, and Skeledirge was no problem at all because lokix gets throat chop at level 36 and disables skeledirge's only fire move, and its only threatening move in general. If Lokix was just at level cap for that skeledirge fight, it would have survived

Oh wow in my first playthrough of scarlet I used a volcarona nicknames Sol too 😂😂

EVERYONE SHUT TF UP; ANTLERBOY UPLOADED

i had the klawf use rock tomb on me literally yesterday lol

30:07 oh no haha you had throat chop on Heracross with a Scarf you could have shut down that Skeledirge then and there (Throat Chop prevents Skeledirge from using Torch Song because its a sound-based move and its only Fire Type Move afaik) 😂

I saw this in a video by keegan j when he did a bug only play. Throat chop Lokix. If you had a speed natured or speed EV focused Lokix with throat chop (That learns at Lv 36 or via TM 221 with X2 scraggy sweat and X3 Zorua fur) you would be able to Nullify Skeledirge's torch song and save your bug run.

Love masquerain so underrated especially with intimidate when baton pass was legal in competitive I would use it to baton pass quiver dance to nidoking such a broken strategy lol

I don't always click 'Like' before the video even starts, but when I do, it's probably an Antlerboy Nuzlocke!

Yeah, you are talking my language steel types are amazing !! 💯💪

Even though this video came out 14 hours ago, I still got a notification just now and said to my Boyfriend that the new Atler boy video has dropped and the one thing he said was great to watch in the other room. I’m tired.

Yknow I know it’s not super feasible from a streaming perspective, but I’d love to see a NuzLocke that covers through either Rainbow Rocket in USUM or Indigo Disk in ScVi

The Bug gods

If Antler posts , then you know for sure it will be a very good day

Currently doing a steel type run in Violet Next major battle Team Star Fighting base

You could have used Throat Chop in the last Nemona fight to disable Torch Song. That way there could have been less casualties

I love the dededeblop

FINALLY ANTLERBOY VIDEO DROPPED!!!!

I did a run of this it was pretty hard especially since I wasn’t able to evolve my scyther

I'm surprised he didn't stack spikes for Skeliderge.

i just didi this myself and i did it only had my volcorona left at the end

kricketune was the goat o this run🗿

Scizor is my favorite big type and will forever be my favorite bug type

THE KRICKETUNE CRY BIT HAHAHAHAHA

I’ll keep it 💯 I am violently drunk but God I adore antler’s videos

Love the Sub reminder

Damn, im actually shocked to learn that Vikavolt only has a base speed of 43. I really thought it was a fast guy

I actually used Rabsca on my playthrough team so I'm quite fond of the lil guy plus Revival Blessing is dope af (shame you can't use it here). Still weird to me that both it and Pawmot get the move meanwhile Brambleghast gets shafted by having no signature move and heck it's signature ability Wind Rider was even given to Shiftry 😕 12:31 Why didn't you use Throat Chop? Skeledirge wouldn't have even been able to use Torch Song if you did and 2 might have been enough to take it out. Rip Nightmare and Rabsca 16:52 That was impressive 😂 Cool run!
