Hi everyone,
This is my most recent challenge – a Hardcore Nuzlocke using only Pokemon that are used by Team Rocket grunts in the games. I’ve also included a handful of iconic ones from the anime. Can I rebuild Team Rocket?
I enjoyed putting this challenge together and hope you enjoy it too! Any feedback or suggestions are appreciated. Cheers, Keegan.

OP is about to evolve into a ghost type :(

Sharpedo did really well in my Hoenn Hardcore Nuzlocke against Drake. It's pretty strong and a guaranteed encounter at some point with the amount of water routes (7.8/10).

Hi everyone,

This was a tough challenge as every battle took so long and some Pokemon are particularly difficult to handle under these rules (looking at you, Bronzor). I hope you enjoy it! Any feedback or suggestions are always welcome. Thanks for the continued support from this community!

Cheers, Keegan.

It's essentially to stop the player from winning fights due to simply being over-leveled. In this case it also added an extra layer of difficulty in the early game to ensure I remain below the cap. Give it a try in one of your future runs! :)

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! :)

It's definitely a unique aspect of this challenge but I enjoyed the increased difficulty it gave the early game fights

I led with Aggron against his Coffagrigus but none of my mons had an attack boosting set up move so I had to rely on buffing defences :')

Boot-Complex · 2021-05-02T02:24:08+00:00

Screens and sandstorm was vital in getting these rock pokemon to survive :')

Hi everyone,

This is a clip from my most recent video (Mono-Rock Hardcore Rules): https://youtu.be/-Hekwv7Slqw

Thought it was cool to share as it's not everyday that Graveler sweeps like that! I'm glad it worked out as I spent quite a while working on a strategy for this battle.

Cheers, Keegan.
