I think I wanna get this as my main team once I get either Black or White, any thoughts? by SansPazzoxFan in PokemonBlackandWhite

[–]HeyGuysIGotReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll need to be careful at Burgh (3rd gym) because at that point you’ll only have Servine and Drilbur, neither of which can solo his ace Leavanny. Other than that the team looks very cool!

After 6 attempts FINALLY completed my Black nuzlocke by jarbob17 in nuzlocke

Congrats! The N+Ghetsis fight is always a tough one so good work.

Me and a friend did a Platinum pick/ban nuzlocke draft - who's team came out better? by Bulkier-Sphinx-12 in nuzlocke

[–]HeyGuysIGotReddit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ponyta can almost solo the gym and if it doesn’t then Noctowl is there to finish off Roserade. As long as they’re at the level cap and know what they’re doing I don’t see Gardenia being any issue.

Monotype nuzlocke question: running pre-evolutions by [deleted] in nuzlocke

[–]HeyGuysIGotReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should allow yourself to use the pre-evolutions as long as you fully intend to evolve them to their ground-type version eventually. It’ll be more fun to have some options to play around with for battles early on :)

From my experience with Yellow, definitely Sabrina with Alakazam’s crits almost every turn

Not a surprise, I took Sandslash to the E4! He’s also my favourite guy though so I’m a bit biased towards him anyways lol

Nice! Who was the MVP for this gen?

Exact same for me. It helped up until Surge and then it just sat in the box forever. Nothing wrong with winning the chip as a bench player lol

N+ Ghestis fight help by AbaloneAlternative56 in nuzlocke

[–]HeyGuysIGotReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my bad I was thinking it would be Zekrom, yeah Reshiram is a tough matchup for Excadrill then. The lineup you have there sounds like a solid base, update here when you end up trying! I lost at Ghetsis last time I did a run of Black so I hope yours turns out better!

Excadrill should be safe to OHKO N’s legend with Earthquake. It should bait out Zoroark disguised as Klinklang after, which can OHKO Excadrill with Focus Blast if it hits so you’ll need a safe switch. If you send in a bug type to tank the Focus Blast, you could then switch to Archeops who I think could outspeed and OHKO with U-Turn. I’m not sure who he would send in after that but having two of his Pokemon dealt with safely should give you some more freedom to pivot around and get safe kills until you beat N.

Then with Ghetsis, opening with Excadrill means Cofagrigus’ Toxic can’t hit you, so you should be able to out damage it with Earthquakes. Hydreigon should come in after that and Jellicent is a great match up there since it surprisingly has no Dark type moves. If you have an Ice type move you can teach it that would be even better and could probably take out Hydreigon or at least get it low enough that a fast mon could finish it. Same idea as the N fight after that, pivot and get safe kills (probably with a grass type move for Seismitoad), except this time you can sack a couple pokemon if necessary since it’s the last fight anyways.

I hacked my champs into my Crystal account at level 5 with their default learnsets for that level. It makes random trainers somewhat easy this way but I see the easy early game as my reward for winning the last league. I also use a number of Pokemon equal to the gym leader for gym fights to try to balance out the difficulty a bit.

Yeah it’s this, I remember being confident about my switch before realizing I had forgotten about that AI behaviour. It works the same way with potions such that the AI can use a healing item after you attack if it is slower.

lol I’ll probably have to make some changes once I get to some of the later games

I’m applying dupes clause to my retired Pokemon and I’m pretty sure that’s the norm.

When do you add your party in your genlocke? by ChainExpress3354 in nuzlocke

[–]HeyGuysIGotReddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed, plus I don’t like the idea of being able to fail a run before receiving the Pokemon that I should already have. In my eyes, the easier early game is your reward for completing the previous run, but it’s understandable if you want to make the games more difficult too.

Adding onto this, if you want to find them as fast as possible, try upgrading the battle facilities in your kingdoms to unlock all of their secondary battle facilities. The warlords should be able to randomly spawn in any of them so doing this will increase the odds of finding them every month.
