    What are some of your favorite Pokémon you've ever used in a Nuzlocke or Wedlocke challenge? Or a Wonderlocke, or any variation of it? Whether you had them for a while or if they died eventually? I'll start this thread by naming a few.

    One big one for me was my Crobat, Medusa, in Soul Silver, the very first game I completed a Nuzlocke in. For one, while my rival's Quilava in the Burned Tower had just tore apart my Geodude and barely scraped it past my Bayleef, I brought her out while she was still a Zubat. She had a little over half health and I forgot Reflect was up. He used Flame Wheel and I LIVED WITH 4 HP. After she (my Zubat) became a Crobat, she held me up very well, even if she didn't get that many OHKOs. And she dealt the final blow on Red's last Pokémon, his Venusaur, to end the challenge. She did amazing throughout. Ever since, I swore to myself that I would never call Zubat a bad Pokémon ever again. Ever.

    Then there was my Azumarill from my White 2 Challenge Mode Nuzlocke a year ago, that had item restrictions and Set mode. It started with as a Marill, her Charming her way through Cheren and tearing through him with Defense Curl/Rollout. She was quite resilient and hit extremely hard (not only having a Brave nature, but also a 31 Attack IV). I really liked her usability, she did so good for a Pokémon that slow, and she lived to the end. Of all the Pokémon I used there, I developed the strongest bond with her, by far.

    What made these two so memorable to me is that they were ones I didn't think would be that great. Crobat because she was at first a Level 2 Zubat from Dark Cave and I thought, "oh, it's a Zubat, no way will this do me any good." And Azumarill because...well, actually, I did get sort of the idea to use Charm against Cheren with her, so I didn't have total doubts on her. There are probably more I can list off, but none I can immediately name off the top of my head.

    How about you guys? Any awesomesauce Pokémon from Nuzlockes you've had that were just total bros or something? Discuss.
     
    Haven't personally done much Nuzlocke runs, because, well, I'm just not that into playing Pokémon games more than once as much as I used to be. xD; They're definitely fun, but don't really wind up enjoying them due to that reason. Anyway, last time I did an Emerald Nuzlocke, I had Ludicolo on my team. Was very special to me, as it would be able to set up Rain Dance pretty quickly and let other team members take advantage, giving them an easier time battling. Unfortunately, it fainted while going up against Juan, so I had to get rid of it permanently. :(
     
    I have 2. Both off the same Randomized Nuzlocke.

    Fluffeh was a Furret I caught on one of the early routes (can't remember which one though) and she stayed through the whole playthrough. She survived with 1 hp against a trainers onix...and then dealt the final blow with surf. And people usually say that early normal types are weak. Since then, I have fell in love with using Furret on my teams whenever I can get one, and I always make sure they are female and I name them Fluffeh :3

    Second was Scarlet the Latias. Caught outside of Mauville city in a great ball (at half health too). And she wrecked so many pokemon with Psychic and Dragon pulse. She was an absolute killer c: What made her even more special is that my girlfriend named her. Fluffeh and Scarlet will always be my 2 most memorable Nuzlocke team members c:
     
    In my very first Nuzlocke, I caught a Shroomish in Sapphire. Named him Joey without much thought, and continued on. Now, as he grew, this Shroomish, and later Breloom, became more prominent on my team. As lesser, weaker Pokemon fell in battle, Joey stood tall, and eventually became the powerhouse of my team. He wrecked in the Elite Four, and barely broke a sweat too; I never worried about his death at all. Even though the run was on an emulator, I've made sure not to lose the save file, he's too important of a Pokemon to me. c:
     
    I had Skorponok, the Skorupi in my Randomized Heart Gold. That little guy almost died at least twelve times, but pulled through with critical hits or clutch switches until finally, right before the E4, it evolved into the powerhouse Drapion. He became my lead with Toxic Spikes,and pulled me through the entire E4.

    I also had Dandy, the Jumpluff. Dandy was just a level 3 Hoppip, and was the first pokemon that I had caught in my randomlocke HG playthrough. It only had bullet seed for an attacking move, but it lasted until Lance, who finally got a critical hit and ended the life of my beautiful Jumpluff.
     
    With Randomizer and catching first 6 pokemon I had pretty awesome team! Alakazam, Lapras, Nidoking, Farfetch'd, Arbok and Zapdos. It was Fire Red and my team was simply amazing! :)
    But maybe the best Pokemon which helped me through the game in a Nuzlocke challenge was Poliwrath. He was a little Poliwag and he became stronger and stronger and thanks to him I managed to become a Pokemon Champion once more! :)
     
    I've only done one nuzlocke, but on my Pokemon X wonderlocke run I had a Steelix that was by far the mvp of my team. She could dish out damage and shrug off hits like the giant metal snake that she was. She was reliable up until her death. I was one trainer away from the Elite 4 and they sent out an Alakazam (the bane of my existence). I sent out my Pangoro (who, like my Steelix, was with me from the very beginning). I figured one crunch ought to send the magician packing his spoons up. Sadly he packed dazzling gleam and Pangoro fell. In a blind rage Steelix came out to defend her fallen comrade. Sadly she too was killed by the evil Alakazam, who sent a focus blast straight for her head. I sat in stunned silence for a minute after that. Steelix will always be one of my favorite pokemon after that.
