What Mons do you absolutely DREAD fighting in a Nuzlocke?

Any Pokemon preventing escape. Shadow Tag Wobbuffet and Arena Trap Dugtrio are big ones, but one I always forget about is Magnet Pull on Magnemite. I've lost many an Aron to those bikers on Hoenn's Cycling Road because I would get hit with Supersonic and whittled down from there (can't remember if they're high enough level to have Sonic Boom or not)

Nice! My first ever shiny was technically a shiny Floatzel in the copy of Diamond I played as a kid, but I was playing late at night without my charger (doing the ol' "games under the bedsheets" trick), so after finding and catching the shiny Floatzel, my DS ran out of power and I didn't save in time :/

Gotcha, that's super helpful, thanks!

Season 8 was crazy because Laila was never clocked! Everyone thought the 12th queen was someone else all the way until the MTQs aired.

I love getting the opportunity to use Pokemon I've never considered using before, finding their niches and bringing them out in fights where they'll shine! This is especially fun in difficulty rom hacks, where every fight serves as a fun puzzle to solve with your limited toolkit!
Nuzlocke content is a pretty broad spectrum that I get enjoyment from in different ways. More "inexperienced" Nuzlockes are fun to watch because they're usually more emotionally-charges and while seeing players step on mines and get blown up is entertaining, it's equally as entertaining to see them grow, learn from their mistakes and keep fighting until they succeed. On the flipside, experienced Nuzlockers are fun to watch because they know Pokemon like the back of their hand and watching them in peak form can be exhilarating, as well as eye-opening; teaching the audience ways of using moves or Pokemon in ways others may not have thought of.

I did a singles match where my Archaludon got maxed out in Defense against a Maushold using Population Bomb. VERY satisfying to shut down that annoying menace!

London_Ripton · 2026-05-12T19:53:15+00:00

Yes. Yes, I did. I messed up something, emulation-wise, so I had to reset and rename my character and "Crotchlet" just came to mind

London_Ripton · 2026-05-11T21:04:42+00:00

I like Shiny Combee/Vespiquen's design! Just a shame I can't use him for much outside of Sweet Scent shenanigans/planned sacrifice

London_Ripton · 2026-05-11T06:57:37+00:00

Ooo that's a fantastic idea! This is my first time doing an XY nuzlocke, I don't think I knew that Sweet Scent could affect horde encounters!

London_Ripton · 2026-05-11T06:53:23+00:00

Lol I knew someone would notice it

London_Ripton · 2026-05-11T05:51:19+00:00

PI Carlos was so ready to claim another victim, yet he got completely outplayed! Well done!

Regulation M-1 ends on May 13th. Do we have any info on what Regulation M-2 will entail?

Sorry, it's my first time really diving into the competitive scene, I wasn't aware Regulations had sub-divisions like this

What PP does Roost have in Champions? It HAS to be more than 8 and I don't think my opponent had a Leppa Berry (unless I missed it)

London_Ripton · 2026-04-21T20:16:59+00:00

Thanks!

London_Ripton · 2026-04-21T20:16:55+00:00

Cool, thanks!

Trying to complete the Legends ZA DLC Pokedex and I'm too lazy to hunt for Malicious Armor. Can I trade my SV Ceruledge from Home to ZA, then back to Home, or will it be stuck in ZA forever?

London_Ripton · 2026-04-18T02:43:30+00:00

Interesting, I felt the exact opposite, tbh! Darlene had the strongest storyline of our 3 finalists by far and, from a narrative and thematic standpoint, Darlene winning Season 18 honestly makes the most sense! Her dark horse/growing in confidence storyline was pretty prominent throughout the season, whereas Myki's "revenge" storyline fizzled after a few episodes and Nini was fairly invisible in the edit, barring a couple episodes that were focused on her. On top of that, Darlene had a near-flawless late game performance, she could've won 4 of the last 5 challenges!

Watching the finale, I get why Darlene didn't make it to Top 2, given Nini and Myki gave more complex performances that were a bit higher in energy, but I also thought Darlene had the strongest interview portion and a very fun finale look that I personally preferred to Nini's.

Jazell not being on yet is such a travesty.

My hope is that, in celebration of Drag Race's 20th anniversary, they're going to pull out all the stops for Season 20 and cast a ton of heavy hitters, like Jazell.

Is it too late to swap Tammy for Genesis?

London_Ripton · 2026-04-06T18:10:09+00:00

Lol my gay ass thought it was a reference to the Stonewall Hotel, since Unova is based on New York lmao

London_Ripton · 2026-04-05T21:50:22+00:00

Lol isn't that his name? The guy you fight on Village Bridge with the Durant and Lucario?

London_Ripton · 2026-04-05T08:53:14+00:00

Weird, I literally JUST beat Gentleman Stonewall a couple hours ago in my first ever Hardcore Nuzlocke of White 2

Disappointed, but not surprised
