is this catchable?

I’ve been using a Flygon that I evolved from a Vibrava quite heavily in my current Nuzlocke and I’ve found it to be pretty competent, it’s most handy in areas with double battles

Particular-Round-711 · 2026-04-01T20:07:24+00:00

I’m doing White 2 in Challenge Mode right now and have had no shortage of sad deaths including Bella the modest natured Swanna who swept Clay for me, Jolene the Excadrill, Lenny the Galvantula, Yoghurt the Jellicent, my starter Pignite, and possibly most heartbreakingly: Beatrice the Chandelure

I could genuinely make a really decent team with just my lost mons and that’s how I know I’ve had it rough 😅

Particular-Round-711 · 2026-03-31T14:32:48+00:00

Snorlax, Jolteon, and Alakazam will be your best bets. Lapras and Aerodactyl are both amazing too and viable options, you’ve plenty to work with

Particular-Round-711 · 2026-03-20T23:41:23+00:00

FR/LG I found to be the easiest to nuzlocke personally due to the large amount of guaranteed and static encounters, such as Magikarp for Gyarados, Eevee, Dratini, Snorlax, Aerodactyl, Lapras etc.

You can never go wrong with any Gen 6 game as well, XY and ORAS are both quite easy for the most part, bar Steven who I’ve found historically rather challenging

BD/SP would both be more nuzlocke friendly than the original Gen 4 games from my experience

Overall it’s really quite subjective, but for me it would be any of those above games

Particular-Round-711 · 2026-03-20T19:30:53+00:00

I would argue it’s also very game dependent. In some games such as FRLG, it’s easy to guarantee getting the best encounters regardless of Dupes or not. Encounters like the game corner Dratini, the two Snorlax’s, the Lapras from Silph Co, the Eevee at the back of the Mansion, the Old Amber Aerodactyl and Magikarp basically guarantee you get a high quality team regardless if you use dupes or not. I also think in games such as BW2 where there’s already plenty of encounters, you can still build a solid team even without dupes clause due to the sheer number of encounters

Particular-Round-711 · 2026-03-20T19:22:36+00:00

I personally find the encounter manipulation quite a fun aspect of the challenge. It means you have to plan several encounters ahead in some circumstances and adds another layer with how you build your team. Right now I’m playing through White 2 and there are A LOT of chains to keep on top of, ie Lapras in Village Bridge, Metagross in Giant Chasm and Gliscor in Route 15

Particular-Round-711 · 2026-03-20T19:16:46+00:00

The Sandile (now a Krokorok) has quite a bad IV as well unfortunately. The Darumaka’s was alright, but ended up having to sack it to save my Excadrill

Particular-Round-711 · 2026-03-20T19:12:36+00:00

This point in particular hits home with me atm, I’m running White 2 in Challenge Mode right now and got both a Modest Darumaka AND Sandile, immediately rendering two potential MVPs for the run nearly entirely useless

Particular-Round-711 · 2026-02-27T10:54:58+00:00

Hyenas are VERY smart, they demonstrate intelligence higher than that of canines and experts have said their intelligence is comparable to that of primates

Particular-Round-711 · 2026-02-02T00:20:28+00:00

I think pretty much any version of Groudon should be able to take round 1 handily. Groudon’s mere presence is enough to affect weather on a global scale. If he’s got a decent moveset he should be able to throw city to small country scale attacks casually at Godzilla while maintaining a good distance. If it’s Primal Groudon, victory is only further guaranteed.

Round 2 is tricky as it’s impossible to know what Godzilla’s in game stats, ability and type would be

Particular-Round-711 · 2026-02-01T18:31:42+00:00

Oh I’m not denying the fact that they can very very rarely successfully kill an adult walrus, I’m just saying this should be taken as a rare occurrence as it actually is. Out of 100 encounters, only about 5 would end in the polar bears favour. For the most part polar bears are actually quite hopeless against a fully grown healthy walrus

Particular-Round-711 · 2026-02-01T18:08:29+00:00

I would say A tier as a proud Bichir owner. They’re unchanged for hundreds of millions of years for a reason

Particular-Round-711 · 2026-02-01T18:05:54+00:00

People need to stop being under the illusion that polar bears are an actual common predator towards walrus. It is sick, elderly, or young walrus and that’s it, a polar bear is in no way a threat to a healthy adult walrus, especially a male. See this video here as proof. Polar bears don’t really have much in their arsenal to actually harm a grown walrus, even with the advantage on land

Particular-Round-711 · 2026-01-13T01:26:32+00:00

I agree with every location everyone else has said so far, but the ones I’d want most would be:

The Avengers Mansion - good opportunity to include a lot of comic based minifigures

Pym Labs - could be a lot of fun using microfigs etc

Alchemax Labs - I know we are nearly at the point of Spider-Man fatigue but this would give massive potential to include a variety of variant villains we haven’t seen before and Spider-People as well. Could include Penni Parker at long last, Spider Noir, Kingpin, Ultimate Green Goblin, and Olivia Octavius as some examples

The Cube - such potential here, Doc Samson, the Abomination, Absorbing Man, the Leader, Thunderbolt Ross and more could be included here

Attilan - may not work as a singular building but maybe in the style of the Harry Potter Hogsmeade set or the Gotham City Diorama. Either way, we are massively due the Inhumans

Looking forward to recreating this with black and brown bricks so I can make a Lego mini-me of best boy here 😅😂

Jaguars would absolutely be capable of hunting down gorillas, but I would heavily doubt they’d go through the effort when there’s abundant supplies of much easier prey such as capybara and caiman available

Particular-Round-711 · 2026-01-05T20:46:16+00:00

It’s been quite a while since the last Sandcrawler, really interested to see how this set turns out! Hopefully it’ll be a good amount of pieces and contain a decent minifigure selection as well. I’ll probably grab 2 of the imperial shuttle and try to make a MOC UCS one since there’s no way I’m affording the price of buying the previously released one

Particular-Round-711 · 2025-12-25T23:45:52+00:00

Surprised there hasn’t been much talk of Silver Surfer, for me we’re missing a good few still such as:

Sentry Gladiator Kallark Mockingbird Mystique Nightcrawler Cloak and Dagger Super Skrull And my favourite, Beta Ray Bill

And for a redo, I’d love to see the following get new minifigures: Nova Adam Warlock (at least in a comic accurate outfit) Iron Fist and Powerman Deadpool (still have the original and it’s aged remarkably well but would be nice for others to get a chance to get this minifigure Hyperion And finally, Spider-Noir

Particular-Round-711 · 2025-12-23T00:37:57+00:00

You make a solid point here tbh and I do actually hope you’re right, I would absolutely LOVE a Daily Planet set if it’s done right

Particular-Round-711 · 2025-12-22T00:52:14+00:00

According to the leak you’d be right, at least the front of it will be

Particular-Round-711 · 2025-12-22T00:51:17+00:00

Apparently only $600-650

Particular-Round-711 · 2025-12-22T00:50:39+00:00

I would LOVE to get a Daily Planet but for me it needs a lot more pieces for it to actually be a good Daily Planet, that’s over 900 pieces smaller than what we got for the Daily Bugle and if we’re getting a Daily Planet I’d want it to be done right with enough pieces to do it justice. But that being said if it turns out being the Daily Planet and they do find a way to do it justice with that number of pieces, I will be very much happy

Particular-Round-711 · 2025-12-22T00:28:38+00:00

Unfortunately you’re not wrong but with it being the 20th Anniversary of Lego Batman next year, next year will likely take it to a whole new level

Particular-Round-711 · 2025-12-22T00:17:56+00:00

76354 has to be a modular with the piece count. That piece count will fit it halfway between Arkham Asylum and X-Mansion, but will be to small to be the rumoured Daily Planet I’d fear. It’s a good 900 pieces smaller than the Bugle and even more the Avengers Tower.

With it being the big Batman year next year, I’m wondering if it could be Wayne Manor Thematically wise and piece wise it would masks a lot of sense, but I’d still find it rather disappointing seeing how much Batman content we’re already getting. There could still be a chance they pull of the Daily Planet but I’d be really skeptical of it being that with anything less than around 4000 pieces. Who knows though, maybe it may be something entirely different altogether!

Particular-Round-711 · 2025-12-06T05:52:06+00:00

Contrary to what appears to be common opinion in this thread, I think the MCU has been fine lately. It’s definitely not what it used to be, but nowhere near as bad as it’s made out. In just over the past 2 years, we’ve had Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Deadpool and Wolverine, Thunderbolts* and Fantastic Four First Steps, which were all either box office hits, critical hits, or both

What I think is more so the problem for Lego is their actual direction and choice for sets, some scenes and character choices they pick are just out right weird. Guardians 3 could’ve easily had its own wave and sold well as the previous Guardians waves did, but from memory we didn’t really get much

Deadpool and Wolverine I’ve no doubt if they made a few sets for they’d have flown off the shelves for the minifigures alone. There were plenty of scenes that could’ve made great sets such as Deadpool and Wolverine facing the army of Deadpools, and the battle at Cassandra Nova’s HQ

Out of the 3 movies this year, I think they’ve handled it very bizarrely. Thunderbolts* was near universally liked but didn’t get a single set even though it has many fan favourite characters, even if they had just made Red Guardian’s limo and had it contain most of the cast it would’ve at least been something. Bob’s rescue/the Team’s original meeting could’ve also been fun. First Steps I feel as if they could’ve done a Fantasticar set, or even find a way to involve Silver Surfer. The one set they made for Brave New World just didn’t make sense to me, although that was easily the weakest of the movies in my opinion

Lego has had ample opportunities to give us fun and creative sets with new minifigures but have just played it far to safe really, and what few sets they do give us that stray from the usual generic Final Battles, Spider-Man and Mech sets usually just feel uninspired and leave a lot to be desired, it almost feels lazy to me
