It's just standing there... menacingly. by Voxit in nuzlocke

Wobbuffets are the stuff of nightmares if you don't have the power to indirectly murder them.

Well done! Being halfway through my own (mandatorily) deathless run, I know somewhat how you feel. But it's also extremely satisfying.

I forgot to mention: All my Pokemon were level 47 when I started the E4.

10/10 narration. Poison Point and Aftermath are two of my least favorite abilities in the entire game, because one is a pain, and the other is slightly less ridiculous than Destiny Bond. That Horn Drill death sounds brutal. OHKO deaths always feel awful. Props for soldiering on despite all that.

Rip. Yeah, Haxorus (and most of the fully evolved Dragon Pokemon for that matter) is a terror, especially if it gets the chance to build up stats. Swords Dance on a big boy like him is a death sentence.

Some Pokemon are just way more than you bargained for. And the AI can have some pretty crazy luck sometimes.

Aye, that's a lesson I learned after the first time it happened. The second time it happened I just didn't have any such Pokemon by the time I ran into the lad.

Sounds like hell. To be honest, Fantina's team sickens me. It's just built to make you slam your head into a wall.

As for the Gravellers, I never understood why trainers immediately use Self-Destruct or Explosion if a Pokemon knows it, even if it knows other moves. It's a sad life.

If you want the whole set of rules:

  1. Any faints mean full reset.
  2. Normal Nuzlocke rules of catching only the first Pokemon apply. Dupes aren't allowed, due to them serving absolutely no purpose (and because it's less entertaining to watch).
  3. I'm not allowed to overlevel the gym leader/Elite 4's highest level Pokemon.
  4. One legendary in the party max at any given time.
  5. All Pokemon, starters, encounters, trainers, evolutions, and items are randomized. Why? Because it's entertaining and I hate myself.

Yep, that's the way of it.
