Infosheet (Catchlist, Team, Honored Dead list): Click here

Badges: 6

Nothing really to report, everything is going fairly smoothly and my team is obscenely solid. No new deaths and only one true close call, with a trainer's Goomy catching Thumper off guard with a Muddy Water. Can't complain!

Ive randomly been doing nuzlockes on hack games, so Ill start posting updates like this one if I get a bit into the game

Pidgeotto Lvl 30

This has been a very difficult challenge, do to the wacky level curves, ie: trainers on a route are lvl 20-22 and then the gym has lvl 30s, the 3rd gym was electric and somehow my Tentacruel made it through alive

Meh. It's time I did an actual locke. Let's see how awful this goes.

Username: Decidueye
Version: Sun
Single/Ultimate?: Single
Optional Rules:
Nickname Clause - You must nickname all of your Pokemon.
Dupes Clause - Duplicate encounters are to be re-rolled. My version has always been even dead ones trigger this, because I don't want to deal with the memory of the loss . Also counting evolution lines here, so no getting a Graveler every single cave after my Geodude died.
Gift Clause - Gift Pokémon are allowed. No mystery gifts though. EXCEPTION - Only 1 fossil.
Shiny Clause - I'm not skipping a Shiny because it's my third encounter. It's a freaking SHINY.
Static Clause - Static encounters are allowed. Not that it matters here, the only relevant encounters are post-game anyway (given Solgaleo is banned)
"Trial Clause" - Only the first encounter I can actually catch counts. This allows an encounter in the areas that give trials, as Pokéballs are banned until the trial is complete.
Trainer ID Clause - If the last number of my ID is 1-3, I pick the first starter. 4-6 picks middle starter, 7-9 picks last starter. 0 gets to choose.
The "You Should Know This S***" Clause - No Bulbapedia or Serebii access relating to this playthrough.
Challenge begins when I receive Pokéballs, and ends when the credits roll.

That should be enough rules for now. I won't even do my normal ignore-the-z-move-ban-because-I-don't-like-it thing. Anyway, I'll roll through the credits of my just finished challenge and reset the thing and then start it up.

So I finally got started on the Y Nuzlocke. Because most of it was earlygame starting stuff, I'll keep this one brief.

Episode 1 - What's a Good Encounter?

So last time, I used Fennekin as my starter. We're going big here, folks, so I chose Froakie. Route 2 got me Red Falcon the Fletchling, and Santalune Forest got me Leaf Ninja the Pansage, who got boxed. Same case with Aqua Rabbit the Azurill, who I got on the route after the forest. Killed my encounter east of Santalune City and absolutely swept Viola. Route 4 came around and I got a useless male Combee, who got boxed the moment I went to Lumiose City. With that out of the way, I got my second free starter, Littlefoot the Bulbasaur. Route 5 had promise, but I ended up getting a horde of Gulpin as my encounter, so you know how that went. Bad encounters all around.

Team Ruby

Espio (Frogadier) Lv. 16 @ Nothing
Nature: Careful
Ability: Torrent
Moves: Pound, Lick, Water Pulse, Quick Attack

Red Falcon (Fletchling) Lv. 16 @ Nothing
Nature: Hardy
Ability: Big Pecks
Moves: Tackle, Growl, Peck, Quick Attack

Littlefoot (Bulbasaur) Lv. 11 @ Nothing
Nature: Mild
Ability: Overgrow
Moves: Tackle, Growl, Leech Seed, Vine Whip

Good news, too. I'll finally be starting on that White 2 Nuzlocke soon.

I finished it. Yay.

NUZLOCKE SUN: COMPLETE!!!
DEATHS: 22

I'm not in the mood to list captures, so I'll just talk about some of my favorite mons from this run.

Spoiler:

I'm listing these in such a way as to leave the MVP at the bottom.

Emergency
Female | Careful | Emergency Exit
Met: Poni Breaker Coast @ Lv40
Died: Elite Four Hala @ Lv49 (9 levels)
Emergency was the fifth of my "big six" - The 6 team members that made up my charge through Vast Poni Canyon and made up my team entering the Elite Four. I call them that mostly because this was the team that had zero deaths for the entire Poni Island arc, including Lusamine. Emergency, despite a type clash with a teammate, proved to be incredibly helpful defensively, although Emergency Exit screwed me over more times than it helped. Unfortunately, an Outrage Crit from Primape did her in.

Daybreak
Male | Bashful | Keen Eye
Met: Ten Carat Hill @ Lv12
Died: Totem Mimikyu @ Lv32 (20 Levels)
Daybreak was a godsend, and I'm glad I Repelled through the cave part of Clawmark Hill to get him. Came in clutch at so many moments, and his Speed was much needed for my otherwise quite slow team at that point. Totem Mimikyu likely would have been a whiteout if not for him as well.

Royal
Male | Mild | Overgrow
Met: Exeggutor Island @ Lv43
Died: Kukukukukui @ Lv53 (10 Levels)
Yes, I know, it's not in the Alola dex. Island Scan exists. Every other encounter on the Island at that point would have triggered Species (I owned a Pelly and the static Exeggutor). The 6th member of the Big 6 and the final real addition to my team, Royal didn't get used as much as the main 4, but when he did he came up big. Most notably, he literally SOLOED Olivia. Which was good for a team with 2 Bugs and a Fire/Flying.

Shade
Female | Serious | Levitate Cursed Body
Met: Thrifty Megamart @ Lv30
Died: Elite Four Kahili @ Lv53 (23 Levels)
Shade came in at a very dark time for my team. Totem Mimikyu had just killed off three Pokémon, including two on this list. However, she managed to fill those very big shoes quite well. I initially loathed the loss of Levitate on Gengar, but Cursed Body came up huge on multiple occasions, saving her (or someone else of my choosing) from death at least 5 or 6 times. And, as you could have guessed from the death location, Shade was an integral member of the Big Six.

Bipolar
Ungendered | Gentile | Sturdy
Met: Trainer's School @ Lv7
Died: Totem Mimikyu @ Lv33 (26 Levels)
Judging by level, Bipolar had the 3rd longest tenure on the team, and the longest by a good bit of anyone not in the Big 6. That said, it was easily my ace from my starter's death in the first trial to its own in the sixth. The Steel type is just so good. Paralysis spamming was insanely helpful too.

The three Pokémon below were the three that survived the Elite Four gauntlet.

Dusk
Male | Rash | Super Luck
Met: Tapu Village @ Lv29
Died: SURVIVED @ Lv54 (25 Levels)
So fun fact: QR Rental Teams are fun to abuse. In this case, I spammed a team in Battle Royals to unlock the Idol Style (which I never used), but ALSO to get Dusk a Scope Lens. And DAMN did it pay off. In gen 6-7, +3 crit is 100%. This meant that with a Skope Lenz and Super Luck, Psycho Cut, Night Slash, and Shadow Claw all were 100% critting. That's fair. Like, really fair. His Defences did leave a lot to be desired however.

Fletch
Female | Serious | Flame Body
Met: Wela Volcano Park @ Lv19
Died: SURVIVED @ Lv55 (36 Levels)
This doesn't change my opinion on Talonflame. Ok maybe a little.
Fletch just did whatever was needed all the time. Flame Body was amazing, and for a number of particularly bad matchups in the E4 (especially birds) was basically my win condition. Spam Potions until they proc Flame Body, then start attacking. I'm not sure what else to say here.

And the MVP award goes to...

Mtn Dewpider
Male | Mild | Water Bubble
Met: Brooklet Hill @ Lv14
Died: SURVIVED @ Lv54 (40 Levels)
I F****** love Araquanid. Sure Mtn's offensive stats were subpar for an evolved Pokémon. However, you need to remember a few things. First, he was fully evolved before anyone else on my team, giving him early use of said stats. Second, I always underestimated his tankiness, especially on the Special side. For a long time, Mtn's SpDef was the highest single stat on my team, though Fletch's Speed did overtake it in the end. He also had the second highest Defense on the Big Six, after his Water/Bug sister Emergency. But third and most importantly, WATER BUBBLE IS A BUSTED ABILITY. 160 Base Power Scalds from nearly as soon as I got him. Araquanid is now one of my favorite Pokémon easily. All this said, it only felt right when he was able to be the one to land the final blow on Kukui. Also he had the hands down best nickname this run.

Overall, this was a really fun locke. My only regret was not allowing myself Z-Moves, simply because the game felt almost empty without them.

 

[TheCrystalFlaaffy]

Got all the Naljo and Rijon badges! Now to find the last 4 badges of the game! :]

By the way I figured out when I'm going to consider this challenge complete. I'll consider myself victorious when and if I beat the mystery league which is this post-game thing you can only do once you get all the badges I think.

Edit: Two more episodes uploaded! Travelled to Johto and did a bunch of stuff there, got two more badges and met up with Prof. Gary Oak and what not. Just two more badges to go! :D

Pokemon X Nuzlocke - Third and FINAL Update

Infosheet (Final Team, full Honored Dead list, Catchlist): Click here

RUN COMPLETE (Hall of Fame)

This was almost definitely the easiest Nuzlocke I've done up to this point. My team got solid quite early and stayed that way throughout

When I first lost my Heliolisk in Lysandre Labs, I swapped out my Steelix and brought in Klefki as well as a Piloswine/Mamoswine, but right before the E4 when I was doing my final moveset sweep, I decided that Thumper was a better fit than Epsilon, so I made the switch back.

I'd say Arm Harm was probably the star of the whole run (just as Hariyama has been for a surprising number of my runs, he's just tooooo good)

Newly Honored Dead:

Hilltop the Heliolisk, Lv. 15-52: Lysandre's Lv. 49 Gyarados barely lived a Parabolic Charge and got his payback with an Earthquake

Fikkle the Klefki, Lv. 35-73: On what literally could have been the final turn of the run, Mirror Shot missed Diantha's Mega Gardevoir and Fikkle died to a Thunderbolt as a result
