[BugTypeAficionado]

Welcome to episode 2...aka, the finale.

Progress

Spoiler:

Everything started off good enough. I headed off to Rusturf Cave to retrieve Peeko and the Devon Goods, no problem there. Rusturf Cave, while it is a new area, has a 100% encounter rate of Whismurs in Gen 3. And since I'm using the Dupe Clause, I couldn't catch anything in here. Off to Slateport, then.

Granite Cave granted us a level 10 Makuhita, who looked promising enough. Unfortunately, right before we got to Steven, a wild Aron critical hit Makuhita with a Headbutt, killing him. Possibly even more shortlived than Crumple. Besides that, and the plethora of wild encounters, Granite Cave didn't give us too much trouble...but it was merely the calm before the storm. The storm that is Brawly's Gym.

A trainer's Machop killed Skipper with a critical Karate Chop, and in a lapse of sanity, I send out Soundcloud to avenge him. The Machop had 1 hp left, and would literally die from anything, but it unfortunately OHKO'd Soundcloud with another Karate Chop, leaving me two party members short in the span of two turns.

Although discouraged, I at least had Bean Dip and Mushlike, and they were pretty good Pokemon, so after I did some grinding, and Bean Dip evolved, I brought to them to Brawly, and...disaster struck. My first problem was underestimating the power of Brawly's Pokemon. The trainers in his gym had Pokemon at Level 14, and I figured his Pokemon wouldn't be that much higher, maybe Level 15. But I must've had another lapse in sanity and forgot how big of a level jump Roxanne's Pokemon had in comparison to the trainers in there, so my Pokemon are at a 3 level disadvantage. Not a deal breaker, though.

I set up with Stun Spore and Leech Seed on Brawly's Machop. The only good damaging move Mushlike has is Absorb, and as when Machop isn't paralyzed, he's setting up with Focus Energy and Leers, I get a bit afraid that he'll one shot Mushlike before I can whittle him down enough. So I switch to Bean Dip, and exactly as I feared, Lombre is critical hit oneshot by Machop. I send out Mushlike to avenge his brethren, and...he gets one shot too. Possibly both the most anticlimactic and underwhelming Nuzlocke run ever. At least I know now to not screw around next run.

LeafGreen Nuzlocke - Complete

First thing I should say is I got absolutely carried through the E4. If it wasn't for Dragonite, Slowbro and Gengar there is no way I would have completed the challenge. I was going to consider picking up the Eevee in Celadon but then realised I could buy a Dratini instead. I had to hoard quite a bit of money but I was finally able to go back and get one and I'm happy I did. I had three high-level Pokemon and the rest were underlevelled so had to grind wild Pokemon battles with Gastly and Dratini. I was pretty sure I was going to stick with 5 of the Pokemon in my party shortly after; Charizard, Pidgeot, Dragonair, Haunter and Beedrill, but Beedrill became a bit unreliable and my 6th member kept being killed off. It wasn't until late game where I picked up Slowbro and then eventually Marowak from Victory Road that I had solidified my team. At this point, I was aware of my rival's Pokemon and the E4 teams so I just made sure I was capable of beating them and had plenty of Full Restores stocked up. I spent about 2 hours getting some of my stronger Pokemon up to scratch. But once I began the E4 battles the reliance on Slowbro, Gengar and Dragonite was unbelievable. Many times I jammed some battles by having Slowbro tank moves, do a fair amount of damage and just heal then repeat. Dragonite definitely became a huge part in the last couple E4 battles but Gengar was deadly throughout. The Hypnosis, Dream Eater, Nightmare and Shadow Ball combo was deadly and I had made sure to feed it a lot of Carbos to get a Hypnosis in straight away when I could. Lost Pidgeot and Marowak during early E4 battles but they weren't much use at their level anyway.

I'll post an update later tonight! :)

UPDATE #1
-Chose Charamander and named him RED!
-Cleared Viridian Forest and defeated my Rival, Gary, with RED Level 12!
-Found Potion x4, Pokeball X1, Antidote x2
-Beat the first Trainer in Petwer City Gym.
-Took out the Geodude easily as it Defense Curled twice and Red burned it twice forcing Brock to Full heal it instead of attack. Went blow for blow with Onix down to 13 Hp until Onix decided to screech and missed. RED took the opportunity and killed the Onix with a crit!
-Obtained the Boulder Badge!
-Decided to catch a Pikachu only have one Pokeball...wish me luck!
-Well...I couldn't hit the Pikachu so I just threw the ball at it and it broke out...not good. Hopefully I get another Pokeball soon.

UPDATE #2
-Made it through mount moon with Red and found a good amount of items.
-Found great ball! Outside Mount Moon hidden in the dirt!
-Gary met me at the bridge in Cerulean City and demanded a battle. I had to use two potions to make it through the battle but Red survived on 14 hp. That pikachu would've been very helpful...and I'm going to regret losing those potions.
-Had some close calls on the nugget bridge. Pidgey and their sand attacks nearly ended my run as I refused to use another item, but we survived. RED is level 22 now and he needs some help. I've been told a grass Pokémon can be found on this route. Hopefully the great ball does its job.
-Luckily for me the levels of wild Pokémon are high here so Red was able to do a little damage. Caught an Oddish and named it Decay!
-Training up Decay I had to swap RED in to save Decay from an early death. RED survived on 2 HP! I've got to be more careful. Items are important, but I can't let RED or Decay die protecting them.
-Got Decay to Level 20, but had to use items...
I now have Potions x3, Antidote x2, Ether X1 for healing
-Cerulean City Gym next up...Red Level 24, Decay Level 20

UPDATE #3
-Not paying attention I didn't notice the Drowzee I was battling had confused my Charamander. After hitting itself in confusion Hypno got a critical hit, killing RED, and then poor Decay stood no chance.
-Locke ended early. I'll try again soon.
