Hi. I'm playing this game as a nuzlocke and I'm posting my team and deaths after I beat each gym leader. I now beat Juan, and here's my team:
KipperⅡthe Swampert - Level 54
Lil. Yami the Sableye - Level 53
Apollo the Blaziken - Level 54
Zuko the Charizard - Level 54
Rory the Sandslash - Level 53
Jerry the Raichu - Level 53
Juan wasn't really that hard. Raichu took care of mostly everything, except the half-ground types, that Swampert took care of. Kingdra was a little annoying, with Double Team and Yawn, but I collected berries as I went, so I would keep waking my Pokemon up. Eventually Kipper won with 2 Earthquakes.
Next up, the Elite Four. And yes, there's been a death. It's added at the end of the RIP section.
RIP:
Ray the Shinx - Level 9 | He died to a Seedot's Bide, on the beach next to Petalburg City.
Joey the Pichu - Level 16 | Died to a Focus Energy and then a fighting move, I can't remember which one, against a gym trainer. He got oneshoted.
Roxanne the Nosepass - Level 18 | Died to that damn Makhuhita and his Knock Off
Kipper the Marshtomp - Level 18 | After Nosepass died, I sent him in, although he had relatively low health as well because he took hits before, and I had no more potions. I thought I could outspeed, and while I DID outspeed, he got 1 HP left and killed him. This sucks, cause the Mudkip line is one of my favs. I also had one named Kipper in Omega Ruby.
Ceecee the Combee - Level 19 | Not much to say here. Another victim of Knock Off. Although I was interested in using a Vespiqueen for the first time.
Leslie the Lombre - Level 18 | Another victim to Knock Off. Like damn, I didn't know Knock Off was this good, to knock out my whole party. Now if only I had put Exim in the party since I caught it, this would have all been avoided. But I already had a grass type and didn't want to get too many Pokemon early on.
Karl the Beedrill - Level 23 | Wattson's Manectric is just too damn strong.
Exim the Exeggcute - Level 23 | Wattson's Manectric again.
Dawn the Prinplup - Level 23 | Had to give him up to heal Linoone, which was my realistically best chance.
Simba the Electrike - Level 23 | Had to give him up too.
Zags the Linoone - Level 25 | My only chance at winning fell too against the Manectric.
Terra the Grotle - Level 23 | He might be resisting electricity, but with almost nothing to deal significant damage to the Manectric, he died too.
Then what happends.... I go to my PC, and all I have is 5 water types, and I'm going up against an Electric Gym Leader. So I had to level everyone up to Level 32 to stand a chance, and even so:
Pearl the Clamperl - Level 32 | She might have died, but she helped me a lot with the Emolga. Clamp and Whirpool had a lasting effect, even after her invitable defeat.
Phoebe the Feebas - Level 32 | Poor Feebas never stood a chance. I thought maybe I could deal at least one bit of damage with Tackle, but it was one shotted before it could do anything.
Diana the Seadra - Level 32 | She sadly died too, but I wouldn't have won without her. Her Octazooka took care of the middle Pokemons (the second and third), but she died to the Manetric. But then because the AI decided to Howl, I managed to get some Octazookas on him from the Octillery and won.
No new deaths in between Wattson and Flanery, luckily.
Togy the Maractus - Level 35 | Norman's Buffalount was really difficult to deal with. Blaziken ended up killing it, but I had to be carefull cause its moves caused a lot of damage. I went into Togy thinking I could maybe put him to sleep, but turns he out he has a ability that prevents that.
Mante the Octillery - Level 35 | Manteee! One of the only two survivors of the Wattson massacre, and he's dead too. He couldn't stand a chance to that Bouffalount either.
Peggy the Grumpig - Level 35 | She had only just evolved :( I had to give her up to heal Blaziken, cause he was my only chance due to the fighting type, but it had low health and I had to.
Ironmetal the Magnezone - Level 40 | I know it's a really stupid name, but I grew fond of it over time. I was totally expecting him to 1KO everything, and he did until Altaria came in with freaking Earthquake. This sucks a lot because I was really excited to use a Magnezone for the first time.
Norman the Slaking - Level 42 | Died in Mt. Pyre to a Wobuffet, but surprisingly not to Destiny Bond. I tried to one shot it, and failed, and he used Counter on me. I got one shotted after all.
Bakura the Spiritomb - Level 43 | And I had only just received it :( He died to Maxie's Darmanitan's Flare Blitz, a one shot. I went in underleved for that battle though. I didn't think he'd be this high leveled. He was also named after Bakura, so I wish he'd stayed longer.
Samnuel the Serperior - Level 49 | I bought him in for the Lunatone. I killed it, but took half of Samnuel's HP as damage before I did it. Then he sends in Solrock and kills him :(
Linn the Linoone - Level 54 |Died to a self-destructing Claydol that I was trying to catch in Sky Pillar.
