Xander's Pokemon Challenges
Pokemon Soulsilver Nuzlocke My Badges: 4 Notes: I was able to take down Morty with Fearow - Pursuit, am curretly deciding which gym leader I'm going to take on next. My Team: Arbok Lv. 26 Fearow Lv. 26 Gloom Lv. 25 Goldeen Lv. 24 Krabby Lv. 22 Sudowoodo Lv. 21 |
Let's aim for a powerful episode today, folks. We still got encounters to snag and gyms to destroy along with tons of Messiah's goons to send packing.
Episode 8 - The Eradication of Messiah's Goons Spoiler:
|
I've only ever done one other Nuzlocke before now, and failed miserably. Round 2, START!
Username: Game: Alpha Sapphire Single/Ultimate?: Single Other Rules: Shiny Clause and Dupes Clause. I'm also going to leave the Exp. Share on only for grinding. Don't want to go TOO crazy with difficulty just yet... I probably won't post about it, but my challenge, personally, will end after I've completed the post game, killed all legendaries that are part of the storyline (so not the Hoopa rift ones), and defeated the E4 a second time. Tomorrow I'm pre-ordering Sun from Gamestop and I'm gonna grab Soul Silver along with it as I've never played a Johto game before, so maybe I'll try the Ultimate challenge after, as long as this challenge goes okay... heh... I'll post my progress tomorrow! |
So I'm kinda salty right now because a Calm Mind Misdreavus just swept my entire team and killed my Fuligin Nuzlocke. But there's only one way to take out my frustration, and that's by destroying people in my good old Black Nuzlocke.
Episode 9 - The Squad Falls Apart Spoiler:

So before we begin the finale, let me just say one thing. Up to this point, I've done the entirety of this locke through nothing but muscle memory. I did not look up any gym leaders teams or what mons I could catch on a route. I'm extremely afraid of the Elite Four, so I broke my personal rule and looked up what I'm up against.
Along with that, because I clearly don't have the time to grind three team members 20+ levels for the six remaining battles, so I used experience codes to help make grinding go by faster. Pretty sure that isn't against the rules since it's not like I hacked in any items or gave all my mons perfect IVs. Anyway, with that aside, let us begin the Elite Four. Finale - Tatsuya's Truths and Messiah's Ideals Spoiler:
And now with that complete, I shall return to the Shadow Realm for now. Soon, we will return to Unova for our Eternal Punishment. Until then, though...back to the Shadow Realm. |
So, I just completed a Yellow Nuzlocke and realized that I forgot to even sign up... So...
Username: XxHarryxX Game: Yellow Single (for now, I'm working on one for Pearl as well and might just expand to ultimate later) Other rules: No dupes (if they're alive), event Pokemon not allowed (no Charmander, Squirtle, Eevee, etc.) I didn't keep the most precise detail as to how every part of the game went, but... I can at least appraise you of my final team and the ones who perished throughout the journey! Final Team: Poliwrath: Fished up at Lv. 10 in Cerulean City as a Poliwag, final Lv. 52, Surf/Amnesia/Ice Beam/Submission Victreebel: Caught at Lv. 12 on Route 25 as a Bellsprout, final lv. 51, Razor Leaf/Body Slam/Wrap/Poisonpowder Dugtrio: Caught at Lv. 15 in Diglett's Cave as a Diglett, final lv. 53, Earthquake/Rock Slide/Slash/Cut Dodrio: Caught at Lv. 22 on Route 16 as a Doduo, final Lv. 57, Drill Peck/Fly/Tri Attack/Agility Observations - Dodrio is one that I'd never really used before, but its high attack and speed make it pretty good, particularly in Gen 1 since it can outrun Alakazams and OHKO them with Drill Peck. Victreebel has a pretty terrible movepool... Poliwrath is pretty easy to level up due to its speed and the power of Surf on the Rock/Ground types - I was leveling it up at ~Lv 30 in Victory Road. Dugtrio - see Dodrio. Rest in Peace: Pikachu: Passed away at Lv. 8 while training in Viridian Forest against a Caterpie - got a critical hit. Sad day and kind of embarrassing, but at least I didn't need to deal with Pikachu much later in the game - it is really not that good from my previous experiences. Oddish: Passed away at Lv. 15 while fighting the Youngster with his Slowpoke on Route 25 - Confusion got a critical hit. Oddish would've been solid and I was looking forward to Petal Dance, but it was just not to be. Victreebel proved to be an OK substitute, but not a great one. Mankey: Passed away at Lv. 24 on Route 9 while fighting Meowth. Mankey was actually proving pretty useful as a fighting type... Machop: Passed away at Lv. 19 while training in the wild in Rock Tunnel. Oops. Butterfree: Passed away at Lv. 32 due to a critical hit from a super-effective Sludge from Koffing on Route 16. Forgot about Bug being weak to Poison in this game... Oops. Nidoking: Passed away at Lv. 40 due to a critical hit from Drowzee in Silph Co. Thrash was proving quite powerful, it's too bad the common themes of supereffective critical hits affected me drastically... Magneton: Passed away at Lv. 32 due to a critical hit while training in the wild. Magneton was basically in the daycare for a while, got leveled up once, and then died. Pretty terrible movepool, so wasn't a huge loss, though it did make Lance's Gyarados an adventure... Seadra: Passed away at Lv. 47 when Giovanni scored a critical hit with his Nidoqueen's Thunder. Dangit. Just wasn't powerful enough... Seadra was proving to be pretty good, too! Though no Kingdra in yellow... Nidoking: (Yep, another one! Nidorino on Route 23) Passed away at Lv. 50 against Lance's Gyarados. He couldn't OHKO with Thunderbolt (though he did paralyze) and fell victim to a CH Hydro Pump... Cleared the way for Dodrio to finish off Gyarados and for Poliwrath to step in the rest of the way. Couple other observations that will hopefully carry over to future Nuzlockes: - I got a bit reckless (probably partially due to the 4x speed I had from playing on Pokemon Stadium 2) and could've probably prevented a death or two along the way. - I saved TM's until the Elite Four, basically. Prevented me from using up Thunderbolt and Ice Beam on mons who died. - I had 8 rare candies and used them right before the final battle - I do think that it helped Dodrio outspeed Alakazam! As mentioned above, I'm working on another one... Username: XxHarryxX Game: Pearl Single (for now, might just expand to ultimate later) Other rules: No dupes (if they're alive) Looking forward to it! |
Username: LRachelR5
Game: White Single/ ultimate: Single Other rules: Dupes clause active for all evolution lines of caught pokemon dead or alive. And gift pokemon like the elemental monkeys count as a separate encounter so I can still get a encounter on that route. |
Username: Magical Horseman
Game: Fire Red Single/ultimate: Single Other rules: Nickname all pokemon, Separated areas, NPC trades and gifts don't count as area encounter. This is my first Nuzlocke challenge so I went a little easier on myself. About to face Brock and my team is as follows: Charles/Charmander lvl 15 Ace/Pidgey lvl 12 Princess/Kakuna lvl 8 Jessie/pidgey lvl 4 |
I've been playing through my Emerald game, and finding that I enjoy Hoenn a lot more when there's a threat of death hanging over my Pokemon.
Currently, I'm at Jagged Pass, where I just caught a Spoink. And lost a member of my team, Fluckite the Mightyena. I wasn't paying much attention to his battle. I was hoping to take him as far as he could go, which I guess was up to a battle against a random Magnemite. The team's slowly falling behind the stat curve, but they're sturdy little Pokemon. Hopefully they can handle what's coming next. The team: Spoiler:

I would say this is against the rules, as it's not within the limits of the game. However, I guess I hadn't made this clear, so I can let this one slide and allow it. (It is now clarified in the OP) But for any future nuzlockes, it'd be good to avoid doing this. |

It's been pretty slow progress on my challenge for Pearl, but I do have an update!
- Started the game out and picked Turtwig as the starter. Blew through all the pre-game stuff and whatnot. - Caught a Starly on Route 201 and a Shinx on Route 202 for my team; Bidoof on 204 as a slave and a Zubat in the Ravaged Path for the box. Also fished up a Magikarp on Route 218 for the box. - Beat my rival on Route 203 without any real problems; grabbed a Geodude in the Oreburgh Gate for the team and a Kricketot on 203 for the box. - Went through the whole Oreburgh City/Gym without too many issues. - Grabbed a Machop on Route 207 and swapped it for an Abra in Oreburgh City. Didn't really intend to use either, but having Abra will save me down the road. - Ventured up to Floaroma Town and over to the Valley Windworks. Criticalled the Shellos I encountered there... - Beat Mars, using some clever switching to Intimidate (Staravia only) the Purugly down to where it wasn't a killing machine. Current Team: Shinx, Staravia, Geodude, Grotle, Bidoof (HM Slave) Box: Abra, Zubat, Geodude, Kricketot |
