Can You Beat Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu with a Real Nuzlocke? [Full Game]

What's going on boys and girls what's up world Austin John plays here and today we're gonna answer one very simple question can you do a traditional Nuzlocke and Pokemon let's go Pikachu and let's go Eevee if you don't know what a traditional Nuzlocke is it's a set of rules that the Internet has come up with that do you need to enforce upon yourself in order to have a more difficult time playing a Pokemon game why I don't know cuz Pokemon is easy and you need a challenge I guess some of the highlights of the rules are you can only catch one pokemon per route you have to rename that Pokemon you need to keep it on your team and if it faints in battle its considered dead and you either need to put it in the PC forever or you need to release it now granted that's not for the most hardcore Nuzlocke that's just the most generic rules for another since let's go came out a lot of people have modified the Nuzlocke rules to be like oh well you catch these Pokemon on every round and then you get to train up and everything because one of the super important parts of a Nuzlocke is grinding grinding is super important because he's supposed to stay on a route and battle low-level wild Pokemon to get your pokemons level up with no chance of it fainting that way you can go to the next area and not die pretty much however in Pokemon let's go Pikachu and let's go Eevee there is no grinding you cannot grind in the game because that means you have to catch more Pokemon so the only way for you to get experiences your occasional catching of a Pokemon and the scarce trainer battles that you have throughout the entire world which there's a finite amount of those so if you don't use those trainer battles properly you're going to be wasting levels and experience on Pokemon that you shouldn't be also a super important mechanic of let's go is the a V's the adventure values or the what we're previously called effort values essentially giving your Pokemon lots of candy that you get from catching a whole bunch of wild Pokemon but again can't catch a whole bunch of wild Pokemon since he only supposed to catch one pokemon on a route so I decided that I was going to play through the entire game of Pokemon let's go Pikachu and let's go Eevee doing a traditional Nuzlocke now the only part here that would really be up for debate is the first Pokemon you encounter on every route already decided to very strategically pick the Pokemon that I would encounter on every route sometimes it did a workout sometimes one popped up in front of me and I encounter that one sometimes I got to make my way through a very strategic way of getting a specific Pokemon I did this for a very specific reason there's one gym here in the game that requires you to have a certain amount of Pokemon caught and there are other areas that require you to have caught a certain amount of species of different types of Pokemon which if you're playing the game normally is not an issue whatsoever like you need to catch 60 put 60 Pokemon to get the gift squirtle by the time you get to it you could do that in the first half hour of the game maybe hour yeah I had to go through the game and catch specific Pokemon in order to have the proper spread of Pokemon with only catching one pokemon in every route and if it faints in battle it's considered dead here is mine does lock I start my game with my starter Pikachu which if you don't know he has absolutely perfect stats full six max IVs and different from any other game as soon as I get my starter and leave Oaks lab I get pokeballs so the official Nuzlocke begins immediately on route 1 I have the option of Rattata Pidgey and oddish and since I need a grass type for Brock I went for oddish plus we could get the other two at a later point in time it's also worth mentioning that while I'm catching the wild Pokemon it supported to throw as close to an excellent throw in the first turn as that gets me the most experience as soon as I entered Viridian City I grabbed the secret potion by the bush head to the small patch of grass on route 22 here I catch a Nidoran male mostly because it knows Peck double-kick and a poison move and it could reach its final evolution by the time moment moon now I also have to catch pokemon with as many evolutions as possible to try to fill up my pokedex I'm also naming the pokemon on the route that I called them on except for my starter you could say his name I get Oaks parcel returned to the lab and have my first battle against my rival Eevee is it really a threat since that can only tackle and growl and growling doesn't lower the power of my Thunder shock on route 1 I get my first encounter with Ronnie my first trainer of many and I'm using my oddish I don't know exactly the experience spread for Pokemon in my party verse in battle but I think everyone gets the same or very similar experience Plus once I get Bulbasaur have already in forest autosh is gonna be a Pokemon for used fulfilling my pokedex since we get a third form with the stone making my way to route 2 I could get the same options as Pokemon to route 1 but with bugs added in hindsight I should have went for the Caterpie to get 3 pokedex entries by level 10 but I thought it'd be important for a flying-type to deal with grass and bug types also not remembering that one of the reasons I got knitter and mail is because it has Peck hindsight is twenty-twenty you know but now I'm Viridian Forest I decided that I wanted Bulbasaur and I've known for it to spawn right at the very end so the entire forest is gonna be battles and item collection I know it can spawn everywhere else I'm just a little superstitious I head to the left to grab the five pokeballs and out of nowhere I trip on a metapod that's spawned right in front of me which sucks because now I can't get a Bulbasaur or even a Caterpie for the decks entries but at least I get some good experience for catching an evolved Pokemon the rest of the force is just fine taking out low-level bugs and meta pods and trainer battles at this point I'm about 34 minutes into the game and without grinding and catching all the Pokemon it's going very quickly but now I'm at pewter City ready to fight Brock and I realize that's it I can't level up anymore I can't catch anything and my team is severely underleveled good thing I did catch was a grass-type because if I didn't catch a grass-type by now well my Nuzlocke would be over because I require a grass-type to enter this gym and I'm lucky because my little tiny oddish knows absorb it's the only super effective move on my entire team to face Brock I enter the gym and save right before because I don't know if I'd have to Blore the idea of having a support player come in it's never really been handled it in does lock I didn't want to but I go into my first battle with oddish against a single Geodude of my support player as Pikachu using growl but my oddish was actually faster than Geodude and one-hit ko team which had me feeling very confident and my support player did absolutely nothing so you can ignore the fact that I had won I decided to remove the support player and never ever ever let him return the second trainer had another Geodude now I remember a stand true here but hey I'll take another one AKO no problem his battles also got pikachu enough experience to learn double kicks so i have a backup for when /if oddish dies on me time for brock and now i was fearing this trainer because i have a level 7 oddish and then i realized that his Geodude only has tackle no other moves so use this opportunity to use growth to get +6 and special attack I take it out of one shot and get ready for his Onix if you didn't know his Onix in this game knows headbutt which is the TM that you get instead of bide but I know that his Onix is gonna be faster than me and then if he gets a flinch I could be done for Onix comes out and it does Rock throw I don't know why he didn't use headbutt it's a better move I don't resist it it makes literally no sense but I'm not gonna look a gift horse in the mouth I'd get my first badge heal up watch a slowpoke for $2,500 and head onto route to my first trainer here is an oddish and I realized now that I know headbutt a my oddish is the far superior Aatish so no problem I do fear the coach trainer here his Bulbasaur with leech seed I send out my Pikachu is he's far stronger than any of my other Pokemon and I use my strongest move headbutt I get a flinch then a second one that's luck third turn Elaine's elite seed I swapped for an inner and head and I head-butted to death I made quick work of the trainer's here on this route as I decided to go for a Rattata it involves a level 20 so it's easy dex entry the coach here has a Meowth with payday and a pretty sure Pikachu can take it down with double kicks also decide to not buy the Magikarp at the Pokemon Center as getting 15 levels on a slow-growth Pokemon is a luxury that I really can't afford plus I'm not too sure how buying Pokemon works in a Nuzlocke or if we're just considered of this a gift Pokemon so I decided to avoid gift Pokemon in this game altogether a mountain loon I have plans to catch a 1% clefable at the bottom floor with a low active I know that this is a super far-fetched thing to do and at this time I only knew about one moonstone of the game and it being a hidden item as soon as I entered a Geodude spawns right in front of me and I was about to walk into it but Team Rocket was there the cutscene despawn the go2 to walk me forward so I still have my encounter active from here on out I walk slightly stagger to not trip over any rock pokemons oddish nose acid which is gonna be a little useful for any Clefairy that I'm gonna be battling in here he's kind of turning out to be the MVP of this team and I just know that he's gonna be useless against Misty's Pokemon as her Pokemon no psychic moves but that's what Pikachu is for now in the basement this is the area that clefable can spawn one percent without allure or lore I'm gonna say lurk cuz I've said that my entire life I stayed close to the stairs and when you pop alert it's a feeding frenzy at Pokemon and those Zubat move really fast after three minutes of going up and down the stairs I finally get a cliff able to spawn I took my time on the throw got it excellent and 550 for sweet experience points for my team which gets everyone one to two levels now that I have the encounter that I want for the area I'm gonna backtrack get the items I need the rest of mount moon is easy Team Rocket doesn't pose much of a threat the area outside of mount moon is still root for so no new encounter for us and my oddish found an item so my plant found a plant in a plan damn the first partner Pokemon move tutors in civilians Pokemon Center so our thundershock gets upgraded and it's time for nugget bridge I wanna get Pikachu's experience up before misty so I use a rare candy that I got in Mount Moon to evolve knitter and then a moonstone for an early game neato King that brings my pokedex to 10 caught nice under route 24 and 25 and there's the gift pokémon Charmander both routes have a side out cannot event and not in a Pidgey however the Charmander trainer wants us to catch 50 Pokemon in to get it however I've only caught seven Pokemon so no no Pokemon for me and I seriously doubt that we're going to catch 50 Pokemon with Nuzlocke rules in fact by my count it's only gonna be thirty two catches between all the routes and locations so it looks like we're never ever going to get this Charmander and the Pokemon on this route aren't really that great and I don't have a lure in order to get this squirtle that can rare spawn here so I guess we're just gonna go for a vent in at and a side arc for the Pokedex fill unfortunately my villa net throw was really bad so I didn't get a lot of experience for that and the trainers on route 25 did not yield me a lot of experience either good news is the only trainer who gave me some trouble was the seismic toss coach but still no deaths so far all the stuff to do is go after Misty's gym yeah was it actually worried about that I love how big achoo inspects this house he thinks he's a detective you're not Ryan Reynolds no you want no you aren't on route 5 are strategically avoiding a swarm of piggies and I caught a growlithe my rival got a little handsy with me and on Route six I got drunk by a growlithe again so I guess I now have to growlithe between these two routes five and six I decided that my plan of attack was too popular head into diglettz cave catch a dig late and then head back out to the route here on the right and catch a drowsy that made my Pidgey evolve nice then when I got to route 11 there was a large Chauncey I knew without altra balls would be a gamble but I went for it after five great balls I finally caught it and everyone on my team got to full levels I then battled every trainer on the route and got about a third of the XP that I got from catching that one chance eat and that put me out of dilemma sin my dilemma is like a poplars on the routes and go for the rare spawn Chauncey for experience or I get another low leveled not of all Pokemon to fill up my decks as the Chauncey can spawn almost everywhere there's a chance that I can let a chain continue for even more experience if I balance that properly with the amount of Pokemon that can evolve I think I can do this but at the time I started to not worry and I still have the SSA into battle I take on Meena and her mr. mom does work i men just get by without any of my pokemon dying but now on to the first worthy gym leader of this game Serge I just got expressed so everywhere all the surges Pokemon no Thunderbolt and his Magnemite has sonic boom and his Raju who knows double kick so I started with Pikachu and I used light screen then I use dig I thought I have to swap in Idol King to take a thunderbolt but his Pokemon were fairly easy to defeat even being under levelled oh great one through diglettz tunnel got flash fast traveled with my rivals route 9 and started heading toward rock tunnel for route 9 there's nothing too great that I can catch maybe a sparrow to evolve from my pokedex but I think I'd be better off trying for another chance II as for route 10 it's a similar encounter table but there's also crabby and then the worst luck my joy Kahn didn't respond to me running away from a charging NIT arena so it looks like that's my catch for this route but my Rattata evolved and I used to moonstone so that brings my pokedex to 20 obtained and 14 caught nice just as I reach route 10 miler wore off so I caught a Crabby in Rock Tunnel I know there's the chance here of finding a rare spawn Charmander and I kind of want one Charmander is my favorite I have a tattoo of a Charmander especially since my other options are Zubat Machop Kangaskhan and a bunch of ground-type pokémon kangas common would it be bad but I would like a Charmander one single repel got me to the area next to the ladder where I've had Charmander spawn from me before and after using the ladder to escape pokemon charging at me a Charmander finally showed up it's probably the same chance throughout the entire cave but I'm at least a little stitches if not superstitious but I have a Charmander I made my way to lavender town battled my rival who evolved as Eevee cubone hit me in the fields it was super effective now there's a 1% chance of finding a Kadabra Unruh date but using a learner and waiting outside of the fence I have a great chance of not encountering anything else I also get to watch all the poppers like around its it's the best feeling ever I went for a Cadabra for the evolved Pokemon experience as well as the better move set than catching an abra and evolving it it won't have a psychic move but I'll get the TAM for that soon enough route 7 has the same table as eight except with the chance of a porygon appearing and every time I leave the guards house it spawns up to four Pokemon instantly for me I saw several Kadabra a few arcanine and then finally a porygon he's he is super fast by the way Pikachu learn floaty fault talk to Brock out a tea gave it to the guards went to saffron city got the TM for psychic taught it to Cadabra and pouring on evolved Cadabra - Alakazam called a leap stone for a gloom talk to the perv outside Erika's gym defeated every trainer in there since every Pokemon is weak - psychic and now sanfur Erica I knew that Tangela Woodley would sleep powder so he did a substitute with Alakazam a calm mind and then I won shouted her entire team with psychic pod - Rocket headquarters I wish that when you've got a rocket outfit and you got to wear it someone would have different dialogue but no also this is one of the coolest things being able to control Pikachu running around I just wish it was a longer area this was implemented in like a hacked Pokemon ROM a while ago wasn't it going up against Archer my team was four levels lower at best and for Giovanni I was six levels under I started with Alakazam and I used to next defense assuming you would go for fake out and then Persian one shot I mean cousin landed a crit so rip Alakazam I decided vile pollutant with sleep powder and a couple gross would do well and thanks to no more Christmas / I was right Giovanni fled and let me deal with mourning the death of Alakazam comment f down below to pay respects he's now going to play in that beautiful psychic field in the sky now and the professor gives me one candy for him thanks Hulk well back to pokemon tower to go to hang out with dead pokemon but good news we finally getting an encounter here and we have a choice between ghastly or Haunter or the occasional cubone and lucky for me Meyler prom stopped me from tripping over a immediately spawn too ghastly on my way to a Haunter which is nice o cubone it feels I'm sorry Team Rocket did this to your mother as long as these convoluted rules made by the Internet allow me to proceed I'll get revenge for you at least my rival is gonna take cubone and make him a part of his team it's right around here that I forgot clefable was a fairy type Pokemon and not normal well that's that's two down for my team now that we have the poké flute the world kind of opens up for us and we get encounters on Route 12 13 14 15 16 17 and 18 on route 12 I woke up Snorlax defeated him caught him for 1285 experience points God Aslan gleamed from the move deleter I like how they did this interaction here on route 13 and got a huge crabby forgetting that I already called one I flew back to sell it on city and Snorlax is technically on route 16 so that's my encounter for that route I battled caught him got 1200 experience through at 17 I caught an Eevee level 39 and I'm gonna need him for blings gym to be a Vaporeon route 18 brings me to fuchsia City and a patch of grass but I'm gonna skip it for right now because it's optional grass and we're gonna learn surf first and during this cutscene I'm pretty sure Toro says brah now let's head to kogas gym - oh we need 50 species of pokémon okay we we we thought about this before we kind of knew that this was coming up I didn't realize it'd be so soon so let's plan this out out of the Pokemon that I've already caught I could still evolve Charmeleon Pidgeotto diglettz I dug venom at growlithe with the firestone crabby Haunter via trade AV with a water stone and that will bring me up to 39 I still get to go to route 14 and 15 for encounters which my best bet would be the 5% Taurus and the 1% Scyther for experience and pokedex Phil and that brings me to 41 the power plants Grimer would make 43 after it evolves route 19 20 and 21 star you Magikarp antenna cool and there are evolutions that brings me to 49 magmar from the pokémon mansion would make 50 zubats eel or slow hook from the seafoam Island would bring me to 52 and we might be able to get in the grass on route 23 for execute or a poliwag in the water we're not even counting Pokemon that you could transfer from going to go park we skipped route 18 so we do have a little bit of leeway room not too much though and this is also not counting any gift Pokemon the laparis the starters the Magikarp that you could buy I'm going to see if we can do it without any of those gifts or the shiny claws so we have a game plan however we have very limited resources and since I can't catch wild Pokemon to train up my team I have to use the rest of my trainer strategically for us to evolve the Pokemon that requires stones or trading I'm also going to transfer any low-level fully evolved Pokemon since I'll need their candy and I can't level them up very easily we got ourselves our Kanaan Vaporeon and Gengar next I'm gonna catch pokemon that I only need one level to evolve with Pokemon that only need one level to evolve in my party I got a level 39 2 Duo on route 18 re-entering the power plant over and over for a huge Grimer i level 43 i went south of Pallet Town to route 21 and caught a star you I went to cinnabar incarnate magmar for 2333 experience points and then evolved crabby into kingler I went to route 20 for a Magikarp seafoam island for his slowpoke route 15 for Arturo's for 1300 experience a huge Scyther on route 14 for a 1300 experience which evolved a duo I have all started with a Waterstone I had south of fuchsia city for the teeth and caught a tentacle that brings my pokedex to 45 I battled the swimmer and the fisherman on the water routes and evolved slowpoke Diglett Magikarp and now I'm at 48 technical and psyduck need a few levels and since I have this super-powerful water team right now I figured I'd do the pokémon mansion in battle Blaine's gym that didn't go so well slowpoke and Gyarados both died and that gym was rough that's when I I took a break from this project for a little bit cuz full one when you have a Gyarados and it's one of your favourite pokemon and then it dies in a Nuzlocke you're a little discouraged from continuing when it did some traveling for Thanksgiving and I brought my switch with me I obviously couldn't do any recording cuz I was playing in handheld mode so I didn't do anything special to the story I didn't catch any Pokemon I just went around and battled every single trainer that I could have missed every single one that I possibly could have I also looked for the coaches on the routes and made sure to beat them as they give you much better experience I also took my grammar and trade here for Anna lowland Grimer since I didn't think that that'd be a problem with the Nuzlocke rules I couldn't find anything about it and now it's time to finish up Team Rocket and the last three gems first stop self coat blue was a pushover with my now over level team I never thought I'd say that then on to the fourth floor face Archer oh we got to see cubone have you been but and he's dead javonni wasn't hard anymore good also when I was clearing out the items I got handed a Lapras and I didn't have an option to not take it so that was my 52nd Pokemon for the Pokedex but I hit fifty without this Pokemon I just want to show you that I'm kind of worried about the Sabrina fight but I feel like muck is gonna stick it out well I gave it brick break to get rid of mr. mines reflect and that worked out really well yeah actually that was great bucks a Lowell inform is like one of the best alone forms it went from being the weakest to this gym to dominating it onto Koga we waited for him there we go that was one of the biggest hurdles for us to overcome fifty species now I know that this is a flag in the game so people be inclined to connect their Pokemon go account and transfer over there Pokemon for us it was just a giant hurdle that's the reason that I didn't go for the first Pokemon that spawned in every area as we had to be a little bit more strategic on who we caught because we did need to have 50 species of pokémon after defeating the one trainer needed I got to Koga and I know he leads his team with a high level weezing and if I know one thing about high-level wheezing z' they like to explode so I'm leading with Pikachu who has dig he toxics me and Pikachu gets rid of it because he loves me and he's the best Pikachu ever and weezing falls for the explosion while I'm underground perfect also something else about this game I I know that toxic can hit you while you're underground digging that doesn't seem right muck wasn't too hard venomoth is a bug types of hitting of a floaty fall golbat thunderbolt bad collected done next up Viridian City talked to Oak get the mega stones that I can't use because they don't have fully evolved starters and on to Giovanni it supported that I one-hit ko a lot of Pokemon in this gym because a lot of them have one-hit ko moves like Fisher and horn drill also about how my team is we to ground the good part is that if a Pokemon has earthquake and fissure and a most likely earthquake against vileplume since it's part poison and it's neutral damage instead of resisting it and it will probably pick that instead of going over fissure at least I hope on to the final gym leader and in Giovanni's Dugtrio did just under half health to star me and its second might be higher might be lower I risked it it was slightly higher star Me's dead I brought out vileplume and just like the strategy against Brock we're gonna use a lot of growths and then mega drain nettle King use horn drill and that exact moment my heart sunk a little bit but luckily it missed and then he went for earthquake and then I wasn't worried about the rest of his team it's pretty poetic how I wasn't sure if hottish could beat Brock's whole team with only a few fights under its belt but here we are the last gym and vileplume held it down as sad that Starman wasn't able to live to see this victory so that's it done after to the 8th gym defeated that goes to show you that yes you could totally Nuzlocke this game it does require some short ejek planning you can't just go into any route and encounter any Pokemon because you do need to have the 50 species at some point so you kind of need to handpick the Pokemon that you're gonna encounter if you want to know if you can unlock it there you go all that's left is my journey of indigo plateau the Elite Four Victory Road and I'm gonna do it because I want to leave you with a cliffhanger like that right my rival wants one last fight a knife to deal with it's a job with sand attack and roost it's a giant pain then he swaps in marowak predicting a thunderbolt and I did not expect that so kudos to him apparently my rival can do uh predicting swaps nice to know his file boom did work on Pikachu so I brought in mine and went for a growth plus for a used mega dream for a little health my rival predicted that and swapped in Pidgeot and I felt like it would just spam roost and it did and I just needed to paralyze to stick because I'm that slow and then ahead but for the kill needless to say my rival wasn't that difficult and even though I wasn't under leveled I did feel like my rival candy trained a little bit because this Pokemon were definitely more powerful than mine and his vileplume was much faster than mine oh and this made Pidgeotto evolve for route 23 encounter i didn't know what i wanted i had no idea my team didn't really need anything but i saw a chance he had decided a little experience wouldn't hurt anybody time for victory road where it's going to be a lot of ace trainers and recovery items for my weak team so I also popped a repeal because I have no idea what I want to catch yet I really just wanted to focus on defeating all the ace trainers and getting the TMS here but right before facing the Polka maniac before the exit I had a ride on spawn and I've decided to want to be a bad addition in case something happened to Neto King assuming that I was careful but you know things happen I was able to make it through without losing a single member of my team which feels really good it has been motivated for the Elite Four I healed up bought a lot of potions full restores etc optimize my team's moves with TMS and I led in with Pikachu because that's fitting dugong only took two hits to kill which was nice but I gave my Pikachu Iron Tail and one shot at jinx which was surprising and also nice iron tail missed on cloyster so I healed and hydro pump was avoided so I landed an iron tail for an underwhelming amount but then finished it off with Thunderbolt Lapras took a thunderbolt got paralyzed after two more it was down last is Slowbro and I decided to bring in muck in for that muck tank to surfed and after two crunches that was the win under Bruno who I'm not fearing too much no one on my team can learn psychic and almost all of his Pokemon have coverage to flying so I gave vileplume dazzling gleam and decided that that was my best bet this matchup brings me back Onix for his vileplume Onix you stealth rock and I landed a Sleep Powder the earthquake only does about 30 health so I had plenty of time to get +6 but I stopped after +5 for fear of a crit i one shot at Onix regained most of my HP back out came hitmonchan who I know had elemental punches he went down in one dazzling gleam and since my vileplume is stupid slow I recovered before attacking and I got a one shop on the champ with mega drain that restored all my health and pretty much the same story for poliwrath and hitmonlee and that's half of the Elite Four down I remember to acquire any healing or TMS before facing Agatha which was nice and with the removal of abilities almost all of our team goes down to an earthquake since no one can levitate anymore I led with stealth rock knowing at a paralyzed me with glare that's fine I'm not as fast as it anyways and it's gonna prevent Gengar from burning me and neato King got rid of paralyzed because he loves me okay great our back is down and I got burned by Gengar predicted that because of the burn it doesn't one-shot him I use a full restore and the exact same thing happens again except with Gengar dying this time golbat loses a quarter of its health from the stealth rocks I use a full restore get hit by an air slash and it does a little bit more than I would like because of the crunch defense drops I get flinched from air slash twice and I have to heal again and then I get flinched then I have to heal again the cyclone continues a few more times and I eventually take it down wheezing goes down to two earthquakes and Gengar goes down to one nice Lance's team is pretty well balanced and his Dragon Knight is very powerful although as an entire team has a weakness to rock but most of his team has super effective moves against me I decided to leave with vileplume against Sidra Sitra lands a hyper beam crit which is a really discouraging way to start a fight against Lance so he land to make a dream after one growth for the ko he follows up with Aerodactyl who goes in for rockslide flinches and after tanking a hyper beam he goes down to two mega drains and the same goes for Gyarados he then said about Charizard who I'm fearing a flying attack from him so I go for a sleep powder it doesn't matter cuz he hits me and I get flinched so I didn't get the sleep powder off I swapped in natto King a rockslide fails to take it down so I have to heal and then he hits me with a hyper beam and then he gets knocked out his last Pokemon Dragon Knight his outrage does more than half to neat okay so I have to heal until he gets confused because rockslide does barely a quarter so I make the risky move and go for pajota because I want to heal vileplume Dragon Knight hurts itself a confusion but then snaps out and one shots per job kind of saw that coming it was a sacrifice that I had to make unfortunately I find myself in the same game of outrage and confusion and then waiting for the cycle to break either he misses he hits himself he runs had a PP I run out of items or he gets a crit one of these five things is gonna break the cycle and after about 15 turns that cycle doesn't break he hasn't hurt himself in confusion yet which is weird and then finally vileplume dodges the attack leaving me wide open for a final dazzling gleam and after a long an item consuming paddle we beat Lance with only one casualty and now it's time for the final battle against my rival the Internet I know he'll lead with mega Pidgeot and I've Pikachu for that because you dodged heat wave but then he predicted the Thunderbolt and the Internet swapped in to marowak I did a splishy-splashy hoping it would do a lot spoilers that did not do a lot he made with boomerang and kayoed Pikachu this is not how I wanted to start this battle my starter has died please don't die has died it's defeating morally I throw out vileplume and he threw out his vile plume sorry swapped in the muck I used brick break to get rid of its reflect so it a prioritize setting reflect up again it did that a few times and then hit me with solar beam and then that broke the cycle and then it went back into doing reflect and I finally Kato de with brick break he sent out rapidash I counted up with Nieto King and it seemed like a great time to set up cell rocks recover and land an earthquake he sent out Slowbro and I know that as surf and psychic both of which would be super effective on me and I need to go for the swap if it goes for surf I want to bring a Vaporeon and if it goes for psychic I want to bring in muck I risk it our gopher Vaporeon predicted right it went for Sur Vaporeon took it well let's set up a light scream making my shadow ball not to as much as I'd like I go in for the Blizzard at the off chance of freezing and it worked I froze it afraid it was I was literally about to die it froze most amazing feeling this gave me a free swap in the muck I then land in a crunch take to surf and then they used a full restore that's fine I have the upper hand crunches doing about half IRA full restore my own and finish him off jewel giong comes out and I swap it to Neto king to take the thunder nice predict I don't know how much pin missile would do so I heal up and it does quick attack for 12 HP sir earthquake it is outcomes marowak I swap in vileplume I take the boomerang well land in the mega train and his last Pokemon is his mega Pidgeot the stealth rocks brings it down to the red I swap in neato King to take the predicted heat wave but it does a full restore rockslide only does about 1/3 of its health and air slash did a lot muck is my only Pokemon left that could take an air slash better so he sack neato King but then he lives on one health because he loves me I feel so loved that brings pajota to a third I use a full restore on neato King because he deserved it because he's the best boy and bahjat predicts and goes through the quick attack and the next turn leaving a completely open for a rockslide that is game and ladies and gentleman right there I've successfully defeated the Internet in this Austin John plays Nuzlocke which is amazing it's amazing I I was really discouraged going in because just not being able to train up any of my Pokemon ever being able to require to go to every single route and strategize what trainers I want to take out and everything else I'm not gonna lie I had the move list of all the Elite Four up so that I knew what moves that they could use against me but that's that's what I needed in order to do this otherwise I would have died I would have died so fast because I'm not underleveled and one of the main parts of a Nuzlocke is being able to over level your team to grind up that way you could prepare for the unexpected but in this case you don't have that luxury so yes ladies and gentlemen you totally do a Nuzlocke you just need to be smart about it you need to strategize and need to plan things out which unlike most nuzlockes we just kind of run in there blind and just do stuff you can't do that here you can so guys if you found this video
