a casual tries: Psychic Type Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Hardcore Nuzlocke

hello as some of you may know i really wanted to do a pokemon emerald fire only harker nuzlocke but i don't feel like i'm ready enough to do that so i decided to do a warm-up beforehand [Music] so welcome to the psychic only nuzlocke of alpha sapphire let's get the rules out of the way number one any pokemon that faints must be perma-boxed number two i can only catch the first wall pokemon encountered in each area number three no items during battles number four no over leveling number five i have to set the battle mode to set and just for this game i won't be able to use any mega evolutions as for the starter i'll have the choice to pick whichever slider i want because that will soon be replaced by a rods just before petalburg and on the screen now is all my possible encounters for this game there's not too many of them but it's still enough to make this challenge still fun before we continue with the video apparently 93.2 that are watching right now are not subscribed i'll be putting out more nuzlockes and hopefully other challenge runs in the future so be sure to hit that subscribe button and the bell for notifications now that that's out of the way here we go with the actual video as we get through the intro and setup we found ourselves locked in a moving truck just arriving in little rude town once we stepped off the truck we found ourselves insulted by our own mother afterwards we met the neighbor picked a mudkip save the professor battled his daughter and finally met our first ralts one of the reasons why i chose alpha sapphire for this run is so that i could utilize the super training function of the game since i quite often find myself short on time to ev train ralts for special attack evs would mean finding wild ralts and killing 252 of them and unfortunately that would take a bit too long also i happen to really like this game so after completing the super training we leveled gardo and her subsequent successors to the level cap of 14 and began the massacre [Music] at attempt number seven the ralts known as enemy successfully set up two double team on the geodude taking out the boulder pokemon while only getting hit with one rock tomb then it was time for the run killer the nose pass end me at first with the confusion which did a good chunk of damage she managed to avoid the rock tomb the nose best tried to hit the next confusion took her foes health down to orange and the nosepass missed yet another rock to meaning that this was the run as i was cursing out the god forsaken blue rock thing and me took it out with a final confusion afterwards i just sat for a bit thinking that if i mess up and wipe in this run i'll have to do this fight all over again in any case we set off to save pico meet steven's dad and set off to doofer it with mr briney we would then finally head of the granite cave and search for another team member after about 10 minutes of encounters and abra finally showed up thankfully the first pokeball managed to catch it and psycho joins a team psycho was super trained and we grinded for a bit unfortunately i was unable to evolve it into a kadabra in time for the brawley fight because enemy was already at the level cap of 16. however brawley didn't prove to be much of a fight at all his matchup was taken out in one hit by a confusion as well as his makuhita second gym done with a lot less trouble than the first one [Music] with the level cap extended i was able to train psycho until she was able to evolve she evolved into kadabra upon entering the mural room in granite cave we were introduced to steven and the glue that holds us all together the plot we then ran more errands in slateport battle team aqua and met an idol for a game mechanic that we'll never use [Music] then it was time for the infamous may battle at route 110 i lied with psycho who was able to take down mei shroomish with two confusions she would do the same for the slugma i'll be getting hit by an ember once her marshtop was then sent out and i opted for another confusion it did decent damage but the marshtop smudge shot hit a critical and sent psycho's health to the red i then switched to enemy who tanked a mudshot in the switching somehow i forgot that enemy had magical leaf and used confusion instead the marshtop hit the mudslap first taking enemies health to orange after that i remember magical leave existed and closed the fight pretty easily in marvel there was the wally fight next but psycho had a pretty easy time defeating his roles and going by the chapter's title i think most of you know what's coming it was time for watson i led with psycho equipped with a cherry berry psycho opened with a psy beam and managed to take the magnemite south down to orange the magna might successfully hit a thunder wave paralyzing psycho not for long though as psychos swiftly healed herself with a cherry berry once i beam later the magnamine was down and out watson sent out his voltorb next but it was taken out with one sidebeam then came his magneton psycho managed to take down about a third of the magnathon south with psy beam but was left confused after that super sonic i went for a confusion to avoid watson healing his magneton but psycho hit herself in her confusion she was also hit by a volt switch leaving her health in the red at this point there was no other way i decided to sack psycho and went for a sai beam if she can't hit the side beam the run would probably end here thankfully psycho pulled off the attack and fired off one last thai beam before kicking the bucket and she managed to confuse the magneton which hurt itself in its confusion i considered switching here but ultimately decided to just hammer on with cyberuse saiku managed to take down the magnaton south to the red with two sai beams but the magneton finally pulled through its confusion and killed saiko with a volt switch wrestle psycho your services will be remembered enbe was called out with hopes of finishing this fight she got hit with a super sonic but thankfully she fought through it and pulled off confusion we barely got through the watson fight losing psycho in the process psycho went to heaven where she would rest for the rest of her life we made our way north to full arbor and learned that professor cosmo is in trouble but before we could help the professor we got ourselves a lunatone which was named munitone as monotone finishes up this fight fyi i did super train multitone as well i also went through the first stage of pokemon army only to get the stage where we get extra exp however this turned out quite poorly as it genuinely helped me in the long run the pokemon gained he actually too fast and i had less chances to battle with him in any case after taking the cable car up mount chimney we went through the grunts and prepared ourselves for the first battle with archie enemy led the battle against archie's mighty anna and was able to hit a draining kiss after being confused by a swagger archie's sharpie came out next and enemies draining kiss was able to take it out in one go as well last was his golbat who hit first with an air cutter it didn't deal too much damage and enemies confusion damaged the golbat pretty nicely i didn't want to take any chances so i switched to monotone and took out the bat with a rock slide in the next turn in conclusion of the battle archie was getting ready to unleash his full power but he was interrupted by more important events he left us with a meteorite and we were able to move on with our lives at the jagged pass we met our next encounter spoink we successfully caught him and named him porco shortly after in lava ridge we snatched a wine out egg from the old lady near the hot springs let's talk about porco this point for a bit i've never used poink and never had i really the interest to use one so i sent him out in this battle with flannery with the intention of him being a cannon fodder but this battle really surprised me porco was fast and had good special attack stats he pretty much carried this fight being able to force his way to victory with side beams he took out the slug mantor cool with no real struggle and even hit a critical hit on a new male for the one shot with this we got the heat batch and the go goggles meaning we could head to the desert for our next encounter we caught a ball toy and gave it cleo as its name after a nice stroll with mae back to pettelberg clayo underwent some super training not long after enemy finally evolved into her final female form a gardevoir and after working out our calf muscles in a long bike ride around rusboro the egg finally hatched into a why not she was named counteroo she was made to play with balls in the super training much like her comrades next i experienced the most painful grinding session for countero but she was finally able to evolve into webafet she's got the little lipstick too pretty also cleo learned vegeta's ultimate self-sacrifice move time to face our father in battle he sent out his slacking first and i sent out enemy one of the things that i didn't take into account going into this battle was enemies ability trace enemy trace locking's truant meaning enemy will have to loaf around after every other turn i chose sidekick as the first move and it did decent enough damage but not enough to one shot this locking the slacking used a yawn and in the next turn our father immediately healed enemy went to sleep but a well-prepared chest stillberry woke it right back up a second sidekick took it back down to the red but again not enough to kill it during enemies truant turn the slug can use an encore which is not the worst of moves to get right after enemy ended the slacking with sidekick for the vigoroth i switched to counterow who was immediately hit with retaliate it didn't do too much and counteroo just spent the rest of the match using counters two attacking moves later the vigoroth tasted his own medicine and kicked the bucket the last locking thing came out so i switched back to enemy who traced slack instrument again creating a weird situation where only one pokemon can't attack at one time enemy got hit by a chip away which did a lot of damage but thankfully she lived she ended the battle right after with a psychic we beat our father and we were insulted once more i didn't have any pokemon to use surf on so i caught disposable zigzagoon right next to marvel soon after porco achieved his final form a grumpig we met steven and had to save a lattias from team aqua and were gifted a lot to us she wouldn't be used so she was named can't use right outside fortree porko ended things pretty quickly with aqua edmund shelley can't use the cast form but i took the mystic water and time for another may fight she sent out her shroomish first and i led enemy the shroomish was taken out with one sidekick when the slugma came out i took the time to set up a call mine since the slugman doesn't really pose a threat to end me the slug might use ancient power but it barely did anything one sidekick later the slug one was down for the marsh top i actually misclicked i wanted to go for magical leaf but hit confusion instead thankfully the marsh top went for a protect so i didn't look too stupid next journey was dead to a proper magical leaf moving on on the bridge east of fortree we ran away from a keklian in battle and steven gifted us a bunch of stuff that we can't use i hate to be that guy but what the hell is winona doing anyway while winona does her contemporary dance piece we started the battle she sent out her swallow first so enemy leads to dance again the swallow was faster damaging enemy with an aerial ace i opted for a charge beam and it's surprisingly one shot at the swallow raising enemy special attack stat in the process winona sent out her skarmory next but it was outspent by enemy and was taken down with one charge beam as well her feared altaria was next and it was taken out in one shot as well with a draining kiss the plipper charge beam honestly the fairy type edition for god of war takes away quite a lot of challenge in this game if i were to do this in emerald this would have been a lot harder anyway cleo evolved the clay doll shortly after the gym over at lilly cove we had the last rival battle of the run mae sent out her swallow first and i let end me yet again i used to call mine while her swallowers stacked two double teams enemy would then miss three psychics while tanking aerial aces i was getting really worried but enemy was finally able to hit a sidekick which took out the bird in one hit the reason i used carmine was for the swampert which came out next with the newly taught grass knot enemy took out the mudfish pokemon in one go maze macargo was up next and i decided to just keep enemy in the battle and spam draining kiss enemy was able to regain her health and she took down the macargo in the process when the breloom came out it was just a matter of one sidekick may couldn't take the loss so she retired from battling and went back home to lil route the next encounter was up on mount pyre a meditide he was caught rather easily and was named champo we went to the safari zone next and we were able to catch zatu which was named zato then we had to cycle more you guessed it plot we got the red orb from mount pire saw the submarine being stolen from slateport harbor and cleaned up team aqua hideout oh and while all of this was going on champo evolved into a magicjam quite eager for our last encounter i quickly made my way to mossdeep and obtained the super rod at this point i was quite tired but i thought i'd just catch the next possible encounter first then go to sleep but i was dead wrong it took me about three hours to find staryu and it was absolutely infuriating i saw about 300 whale mers before finally fishing a staryu out the sun went down in real life and in the game while i was looking for this god forsaken staryu anyway we caught it and named it starro to evolve staru i needed a waterstone so i obtain one from the super training extra levels after learning psychic at level 42 i applied the waterstone and starro evolved into a stormy for the next gym tate and liza in this game are a disappointment really they went from this badass pair with a challenging lineup to this feeble gym with only a lunatone and a solrock my personal feelings aside i sent out star wars and porko for this battle porco used shadowball on the soul rock and starro used surf it was over in one turn since staro landed a critical on the lunatone you twins used to be so good this was really sad after the gym the whole region experienced more plot and steven gave us the dive hm and some scuba gear to make things a bit easier for myself i went to pseudopolis first to get fly registered and got the brick brake tm i also went to pacific lockdown to register it for fly but it turned out i never needed to come back here i made a short trip to c-mobile and looted the storage for all the money and more importantly the icebeam tm this was my backup move for drake in case things go wrong at the seafloor cavern we caught up to archie who had apparently beaten maxie in a pokemon battle to stop archie from advancing the plot we had to challenge him to pokemon battle one last time enemy led the battle once more facing off with archie's madiena honestly the higher leveled enemy was the easier the battles got enemy decimated archie's madiana with a dazzling gleam leaving no chance for the pupper archie's muck was next but it was also taken down very swiftly with a side kick the crowbat came after but it wasted his turn with a mean look one sidekick later it was dead finally archie sharpie was out and it immediately mega evolved the first we've seen in this run it used a crunch which took down enemies health to orange i'm not gonna lie this almost had me screaming but again even with a mega evolution it went down to one dazzling gleam it must have been all that defense evie i trained for in the beginning for roxanne archie being the stubborn guy that he is went and awakened kyogre anyway the kyogre blew bubbles under the surface and went away somewhere after activating his ability since we already registered sutopoulos getting there was pretty easy we made our way to the cave of origin where we ran into steven and this stud of a specimen wallace look at that sly smile of his we slowly made our way to the cave and mae caught up with us at the bridge where she insulted us first thing after she met us we went down the cave met kyogre again and wrote its back it stared us down as it activated its primal reversion and challenged us to a mighty showdown one for the ages of course it got masterballed welcome to my box myoger hoen region got all twinkly and everyone was relieved in the midst of it all we watched shelley confess his love to archie where she got absolutely friend-zoned mae told us to take it easy for a while but there is absolutely no time to waste as my hard-disk space is running out when i was recording we headed back to mauville where we helped watson push a button on a supercomputer and receive the thunderbolt tm we were also insulted by an elevator after that we flew back to pseudopolis and made quick work of wallace's ice puzzle we challenged the sparkly guy to a battle for the final gym badge and he keeps leering at me i feel violated that's even more violating wallace let love this so i sent out enemy first again enemy was confused due to a sweet kiss but still managed to stack one calm mine after that enemy was hit by a water pulse and managed to hit herself in her confusion two turns in a row this was turning out to be an absolute nightmare so i went for a thunderbolt and she hit herself again i took one final risk and tried for a thunderbolt again if this doesn't hit i'm switching her out enemy was hit by a water pulse again and was finally able to hit a thunderbolt the stupid love disc went down in one hit surprisingly walla sent out his melodic next no matter the boosted thunderbolt took it down in one hit the wish cache was next and one grass knot was all it took wallace sent out a ceiling x so i switched to champo who took no damage on the switching champo used brick brake to knock out the big seal last was wallace's sea king and i stayed with champo and opted for a ball cup champa was hit by a waterfall which scored a critical hit i didn't want to take any chances so i switched champo out for starro realizing i haven't taught star wars thunderbolt my only option was just psychic thankfully two sidekicks later the sea king was finally out we got the final gym badge finally qualifying for the pokemon league after this we went for a quick trip to professor burch's lab upgrading our pookadex to the national decks i had the option to catch two more encounters for the team but decided it wasn't really worth it i felt this team was strong enough to finish the game our final obstacle before the pokemon league was good old wally he waited for us at this flowery patch in victory road where he challenged us one more time to prove his worth to himself i left with enemy again and i opted for the cheesy way out i stacked two combines as his altaria chips away with aerial aces in the next turn enemy finally went for the dazzling gleam after tanking another aerial ace hit ending the dragon bird's life next was wally's magneton which was hit by psychic it held on having sturdy as his ability wally hits back with a discharge taking enemies health to orange the next turn it was an easy finish for enemy wally's two next pokemon his rosalia and del caddy was easily taken care of by the powered up psychics last was escalate who went for a mega evolution i took a big gamble here as i kept enemy on and went for another dazzling gleam if that delay it had been faster i think i would have had a very hard time finishing this run wally tried his best but his best just wasn't good enough he gave us a mega stone as i held back the urge to throw it back at him so here we are at evergrande city ready to kick things up in the pokemon league and here's my team for the elite four we've got zato the zatu champ for the medi-chan cleo the clay doll star of the starmie porco the ground pig and finally enemy the gardevoir we entered the league gates and found ourselves facing sydney the dark type elite four one thing that wasn't in the original hoenn games is the fairy typing and i've got one of those in my party sydney is a dark type trainer and i've got a fairy type sweeper so [Music] with enemy only getting hit by a fake out from sydney's shift tree we moved on to the next elite four after healing up next up was phoebe the ghost type elite four i'll let with porco because for some reason i still kind of trick myself into thinking that psychic types are super effective against ghost types nevertheless porko took out the dusk clubs who killed himself with a curse after getting hit with psychic when phoebe sent out her sable eye i switched to you guessed it enemy who was faked out in the switching next turn and me one shot at the sable eye with dazzling gleam the banette was up next and enemy used a call mine while the banette used fight in the next turn one sidekick down to ghost type for the next banette enemies stack another coal mine while the banette misses his toxic one psychic later it was dead the big boy dustnoir came out for formalities only as it died to one psychic as well glacia was next and this time i properly chose my first pokemon pork will let the battle again setting a call mine first as the glowly use the light screen next porco tank and ice chart as he stacks another coal mine since porco's only received minimal damage i stacked down the coal mine for good measure finally i went for a power gem which failed to kill it in one go the glolly hit back with a crunch but porco's colbert berry decreased the damage exponentially after this porco hit another power gem which took it out completely as the light screen wore off glacia sent out her frost last next which died to a power gem her other frost last came out for revenge but it also died to a power gem the big big boy wall rain came out but also died to a power gem the last glaily was sent out and was able to survive with protect alas it also died to a power jam this grunt pick is actually quite good now that i've gotten the chance to use it next up was the strongest elite 4 the dragon trainer drake drake sent out as altaria first as i lead enemy yet again enemy sets up a coal mine while the altaria sets up a cotton guard in the next turn dazzling gleam ended the altaria very quickly somehow enemy was faster than drake's flygon and ended the battle in one shot as well and the same thing happened with the subsequent flygon drake sent out his kingdra and it also couldn't take the fabulousness of enemy last was drake salamance who was able to hit a crunch first to no avail it received a dose of dazzling gleam which ended its aerial superiority the fairy tap introduction really messed up the difficulty in this game but we'll take our victory and move on here we are at the end of the road ready to face the man we met in some caves somewhere at some point in time because of his dad after a bit of talking the match finally started i let starro as steven let skarmory starro shot out a thunderbolt which took down skarmory's hulk to red starro tanked an aerial ace and steven opted to heal his skarmory right after the heal star was able to finish things off with two thunderbolts steven sent out his armaldo next which died instantly to a serve his cradley was next and i stupidly chose ice beam hoping it would one shot it it didn't and i stared in horror as it went for a giga drain thankfully starro was able to fight through the pain i immediately switched to champo who tanked sludge bomb on the switching i opted for a brick break next which was able to kill the cradley steven sent out his aggron and champo's brick brake hit but it lived on with sturdy the agron hit back with iron tail which left champo with just a sliver of health steven went for a heal and champo immediately rushed in with brick break taking the hp down to 1 again next turn the aggron finally went down steven sent out his clay doll next and i was at a loss here champo definitely wouldn't be able to take down the clay doll and i need the fresh turn so i told shampoo to contribute his last move of the game a high jump kick of course champo didn't want to do that properly and killed himself first of all buddy i guess you did all right star went back out and one shot of the clay doll with a serf and finally steven sends out his ace metagross here i was again pondering of whether to switch taro out or not hence why i was looking at the summary of my other pokemon ultimately i decided to sack staro but i pressed switch by complete accident of all the time for this to happen it happened at the champion fight at the most problematic pokemon so porco was sent out by accident and metagross's giga impact left work over to hp of course i could have made a switch here but i'm dumb so i went for a sidekick i had no idea why down goes porco my unexpected ace rest well buddy i sent out staronex and hopes to whittle some damage but it died pretty quickly to a bullet punch finally i settled with cleo who i equipped with soft sand just for this moment i chose earth power as the metagross hit with a giga impact and thankfully clay was able to hold on and live cleo hit the first earth power to red and killed the damn metagross while it was recharging the champion battle is over and we have successfully taken over the seat of the champion may and professor burch caught on as we celebrate the end of the run as i watched the credits i was once again reminded of why i love the pokemon series so much when i first played it as a kid it thoroughly visualizes the feeling of leaving home in search of an adventure meeting new people and forming connections overcoming adversity and at the end of it all we'll return home where we finally can meet our loved ones and tell our stories and perhaps pass on our legacy to our next kin and watch them grow up as they embark on their own journeys the credit scene ends as maniac and may both meet up again once more where they both started their adventures as the game fades to black and ends wait what the does this mean if i fail this battle the run is over as i scrambled back to my controller i switched taro out since star was supposed to be dead i switched for enemy which was hit by swellow's u-turn on the switch-in enemy promptly disposes of mace brylon with a side kick and her swallow came back out enemy was hit by a steel wing which didn't do too much despite being super effective the swellow was taken out by a thunderbolt k mays raichu i switched for cleo the metagross killer the raichu set up a light screen but it didn't really work against cleo's earth power as it went down in one shot and so did the macargo mae sent out her swamper last and i switched to zato her swamper mega evolved and hit sato with the muddy water which did a nice chunk zata was able to hit two sidekicks before being ended by swampert's rock slide me go to heaven zato i sent out enemy one last time and she ended the fight with a sidekick so maniac's adventure ends for real this time as he was insulted one last time as we walked with mei and pondered on the game's live philosophy once more we were greeted by the end screen you
