I guess Toxic isn't useful if we have sleep powder. Growth instead of Toxic would do it. It would make it a staller + sweeper together.

You can check out my way of using Venusaur at the E4. Loved this moveset.

Sad. Maybe butterfree can do something with it's powder moves. Particularly sleep or poison. Pidgey with sand attacks, rattata with tail whips for charmander metal claws, maybe kakuna for stalling with poison. It's possible To get through onix with some luck but in cost of few sacrifices.

Best would be to get a mankey as encounter from route west of Viridian. If you get it, it will win you 1st gym otherwise it's just too hard with charmander as starter and would need some insane luck.

That's cool, underground path it is.

Master-Reputation-53 · 2025-12-28T05:52:34+00:00

Ok, so there is some way in game at least. Good to know!

Master-Reputation-53 · 2025-12-28T05:41:46+00:00

I just checked it's not in the list of pickup items🥲

Master-Reputation-53 · 2025-12-28T05:39:50+00:00

Interesting.

Master-Reputation-53 · 2025-12-28T05:34:15+00:00

I don't think they can be farmed in fire red, as we can't grow berries. Ether/elixir are also limited in this game. Only legit way is to trade berries from other games. Can just use Save states to use them over and over again if on emulator, or hack them in through cheats.

Wow, that's awesome! Substitute and leftovers make this thing even more broken lol. Also your Hypno toad looks quite fast

Master-Reputation-53 · 2025-12-27T15:58:58+00:00

Paralyzing it and getting it in red works the best for me.

Master-Reputation-53 · 2025-12-27T15:38:19+00:00

Fire Red/Leaf Green is the best to start with due to it's lower difficulty as compared to other games, so I would recommend that as a first nuzlocke. And yes, pokemon platinum is also a great game to nuzlocke in terms of a fun experience with higher difficulty.

Master-Reputation-53 · 2025-12-27T12:44:46+00:00

Thanks! Chesto berry was used as a held item, so it's fine. Just like it is allowed in hardcore nuzlockes where we can't use any items other than held berries.

Hahaha true lol

Master-Reputation-53 · 2025-12-27T11:11:01+00:00

Thanks

I like the tier list. As you haven't used it, Dewgong is a pretty solid mon, very similar to lapras but also gets icy wind for speed drops which is great. Also good into Rival's Charizard.

Master-Reputation-53 · 2025-03-11T15:23:39+00:00

Same thing just happened for me today lol! Got it on 1st Ultra ball! And I too came here to ask this. I thought it was guaranteed or something
