I Held A Tournament To Find The Worlds Best Nuzlocker

wait wait wait wait hold up burrito can still win no he's jolly thunder barely misses on the kill oh sh [Music] what's up youtube i'm pokemon challenges i'm probably the best nuzlocker in the world and today my community is having a tournament for five hundred dollars they'll be competing with emerald kaizo late game nuzlocke teams so we constructed a custom pokemon showdown format in which you can build teams that represent the teams that you would have in a late game scenario in an emerald kaiser nazlak pre-elite four and people be constructing teams and competing and seeing who the best emerald kaizo nuzlocker is it's gonna be fantastic and very excited to see the meta develop as the tournament goes on super excited these are constructed teams out of pokemon that you can catch in emerald kaizo and you can only have one pokemon per route and then you construct a team out of that you can use the same held items that you would use in emerald kaizo it's the same move pools that the pokemon have so everything's changed like that you can only use a certain amount of tms like the ones that you would find through super excited to see how this tournament goes uh shout out to all

pokemon challenges the link is in the description below the like button uh or in the comments thank you so much to display for sponsoring this video i really appreciate it hope you guys enjoy hey is my audio coming through yeah i can hear you what's up uh not much should i introduce myself absolutely go ahead okay uh my name is manip i've been playing competitive formats for a few years i was on the balancing council for emerald kaizo i wanted to give some thoughts on the format absolutely generally the biggest threat in the format is by consensus aerodactyl with the addition of air slash into its move pool it has a real move to hit ground types it's not broken because there is like plenty of uh check for it it's just something that can clean if you don't play around it well other top threats are like metagross 100 accuracy 100 power fifty percent attack rays meteor mash is pretty good yeah for all the people who went for the fossil delay of course yeah yeah yeah of course taliman gets air slashed which it normally doesn't get and that gives it a big boost because it lets it power through some of his especially defensive things it normally wouldn't be able to look it takes i think like one flinch to be snorlax on the switch initially um we were actually considering banning snorlax for like a week but um it's still really good but it turns out that norlax is actually not as ridiculous as we thought it gives like probably the like three biggest threats in the metagame uh not free entry but relatively free entry those three being t tar metagross and aerodactyl yeah and they kinda it's like uh it's not broken keeping broken in check but it's like the the top threats keep other in check so it's like kind of like a delicate dance between the best things in the format got it is there any mods that would normally be available in the ek playthrough that are that got banned i don't think we banned any anything that was normally available in ek we thought we were going to bend like eight things like before it started but like after some play testing and like and uh team building we realized nothing's really that broken yeah i gotta actually dip out for a bit but i'll pop back in later if that's alright awesome yeah cool all right peace every match is the best of three got it we got some matches let's go let's jump right into soul zero versus rado oh i already missed like half the match that's okay we got a paralyzed metagross on seoul's side starmie t tarzone we got slowbro houndoom snorlax on raido's side the ttar intimidate coming in the brick break though don't know about that switch from souls another air slash brings them down [Music] metagross on a hydro pump souls did not forget to teach hydrodue's men's flamethrower is not going to take on metagross as it explodes on four percent and takes out souls of salmons and raiders now up 4v5 pretty good position i'm going to cross this back in but it's paralyzed earthquake is just going to take it out souls is losing pokemon after pokemon here what's his last one it's going to be the aerodactyl on souls's side as well see the arrow versus arrow speed timer rock slide goes first from rado's side but souls arrow is too healthy but it seems like rado's defenses just standing a little bit too tall this defensive slo-ro team here hound doom in the back souls doesn't seem to have the tools to break through it we do see lacks in the back for souls but 16 hp slowbro is gonna do it radio's gonna go up 1-0 go to game two also reminder that this is a double elimination tournament losers go to losers bracket are not out of the tournament is there a rule about only one use of a tm if there's only one tm of that in the game yes oh wow we see the starmie lead into the hound doom immediately with the surf on the houndoom to kill it radio says i tried so hard to predict something good luck and raido starts out the match one pokemon down pretty much everything in this form is plus speed yeah okay that makes sense [Music] surf crit on the metagross put souls up to pokemon soul's apologizing apparently that was a crit hyrule oh the tatar crunch actually takes down slow bro here and i feel like radio is really on the ropes down to three months the souls is six hey i was at a barbecue yesterday at a friend's garden i had some the dragon claw actually takes out souls men's here he wins the speed time i had some amazing lamb chops that i made on the grill it was so good find someone to spend time with me instagram yesterday i mean i was hanging out with friends i was mainly looking for people who were like at fun places but we're just hanging out outside raido's arrow switches to the rock slide here dies immediately snorlax coming in mata gross comes out now oh get some meteor mash crit plus attack boosts [Music] souls explodes and souls ties it up one and one oh radio switching to a dust collapse team i was wondering when this pokemon show up desk ops is very buffed in emerald kaizo interesting shadow ball from rado here maybe expecting a starmie switch men's comes into the earth power oh with the pursuit actually running the pursuit ttar as rado's ttar comes in now god teacher's backspreading gen 3 is so sick hello hey what's up uh not much just got back which game are we watching uh rado versus souls game three okay radio's busting out the dust collapse team souls is running pursuit on his ttar uh he probably just doesn't have a stronger move to hit the metagross i assume so yeah all right radio snorlax just went down a meteor mesh okay okay i was saying that uh radio has to watch out for a potential explosion here because uh yeah yeah because if his slow bro gets boomed he's in a really bad state against aerodactyl oh yeah which swampert is very very common it's incredible in this format rado again not uh focus punching on the ttar switch in here you could he could just be uh toxic no focus punch possibly interesting thing is that uh souls uh settlements used hydro pumps so this could have that or brick break let me see yeah i feel like guitar probably dies to hydroponic it doesn't get the same special defense boost here yeah i think this might be over for rada unless souls misses a pump yeah oh he's got surf an interesting thing that is getting mentioned in the chat here is quick claw that we might see some game turn because of that oh true i am uh did bulk nation sign up for the tournament um i know he runs he runs a lot of quick claws all right so souls moves on all right i think that completes the first round of the bracket let's check in on our boy burrito oh he's got a sceptile too oh sh can we see the first swamp tournament on sammy's team but burrito has by far the most games if dude played 170 games holy flinch yeah that that's uh why he thinks he's switching into t there he gets a free one here though because uh oh no sandy because snorlax is always gonna slack off there so you can go for air slash for free burrito plays it really aggressively so that's something to keep in mind when watching him play yeah you could tell by that hydro pump on the snorlax ooh big mist there actually yeah pretty cool i get swampert into tyranitar hp grass range as well as a couple other things men's coming in have we already seen we've seen pursuit and focus point of pursuit on the sceptile super interesting yeah yeah he's got the hp eyes he's got hpi yeah it's definitely for starving that's actually really smart yeah like metagross and aerodactyl get earth power so usually they don't use up the dm but if you just don't have an earthquake used they're pretty good for it this sceptile is just claiming lives now all right yeah it looks like it looks like the sceptile meta is on its way uh uh sandy could double the swampert here to predict a switch or he just the burrito just stacks the meds that's fair there's not really many gunk shot users though to be honest it looks like sandy's probably out here forward actually lives the hidden power but it's not gonna matter yeah maybe a few slack berry right chad burrito not even revealing his last mon there for a tournament like this is it kind of optimal is it kind of meta to kind of scout what teams your opponents are using adjust your teams i wouldn't over commit because like if someone if you like counter team some like aerodactyl team and then they switch to like houndoom doug trio you can absolutely get farmed yeah i'm gonna look into um percuta oroki right now it looks like both of them are running starmie snorlax as of now metagross is a pretty big threat you think we're going to see a signal beam here possibly it's just meteor mash attack rays here yep there it is it's 20 percent right oh if that was actually yeah i guess that's uh that's the earthquake advantage there yeah so i guess that reveals that orky has earthquake on some other pokemon no uh yeah probably some people just drop it all together though [Applause] yeah quick claw i see uh wait doesn't quickly have an animation in no non generation because think about it when you're actually playing emerald kaizo and you're like there's no you're right you're right actually it goes into the arrow he body slammed really uh definitely yeah i mean that makes sense i think he's just resigned to losing his snorlax at this point i guess so i yeah looks like uh ricky's win condition is just aerodactyl flinches huh oh is he going for the speed tie yeah he's going forward because an interesting interesting thing is that a hundred oriki's arrow lives a rock slide whereas piccardo's doesn't at some point yeah so it makes sense he's going for the tie here this happens pretty often oh whiter whiter white herb that's actually massive yeah that makes like such a huge difference here actually and he goes for that oh snorlax double switch though very nice sidekick lives a body slam [Music] it's like sitting at sixty percent that's about as good as he was gonna get teeter now yeah can this is uh this is a really big turn uh whoever gets the prediction right here probably wins i assume you not displaying the battle chat on screen is intentional right uh yeah i think i just like displaying like the entire i think it's just like the battle screen is like pretty anesthetic and most people don't need it yeah he has to i think he has to get a flinch to win or crit is trying to desperately avoid that goes into another white urbia an interesting uh no no that's a bad play i was gonna rockslide kills this so you can't make any plays here no you you he goes that he needs speed typing flinch right yeah you have to win the speed time flinch is the [Music] win condition here or yeah okay loses the speed time yeah that's it dragonite really showing off its niche over salamance here i feel like that bulk and access to extreme speed was enormous here i think uh ricky probably would have lost if he had a salamence yeah for sure right yeah because he would have been slower than star meaning dead so he wouldn't be able to push any pressure there yeah dragonite pick winning or key the game here and i think the match i think that was game three i'm not 100 sure that's uh picardo who's the who is the number one ladder player who just got knocked out of winners knocked out i think we have a top eight winner semis number two mz boy versus burrito the sceptile lead on the starmie burrito proudly carrying the gecko oh the pursuit god damn oh m z boy also running the red ice is this the sceptile counter curious since you're playing it is hades music dmca safe if it wasn't then everyone who was playing the game hades would be dmcad for tristram z boy instantly switches into a fire blast from lax and gets annihilated oh no oh burrito wins the speed time booms unlucky you know m z boy booms snorlax goes down starmie still up for him z boy but burrito's got the sceptile he ain't worried he's not worth a second [Music] all right all right immense very interesting switch chooses to go for the sack here's the sceptile what can mz boy do now [Music] okay very interesting leaf blend or rather very interesting tar switch for the sack in order to get settlements in and z-boy not running the arrow we're gonna go for the t-tar on the men's makes sense makes sense rockslide on this army sack the ttar win it from there yep there's the arrow this morning's just warming up this game well you better be done warming up because you can't drop another game the double star me leave this time interesting interesting interesting [Music] oh they're oh boy oh no earthquake tyranitar crit mz boy throwing out the idk mental destroyed burrito pulling out the dragonite on a very obvious ttar rock slide here not real sure what that's all about we're just kind of falling behind after that earthquake where i'm not gonna lie whoo the critic i'm pretty sure that crit did not matter um okay arrow on the earthquake oh burrito okay ebert wins the speed tie and flinches he needs to win one more needs to win one more actually gets it oh could mz boy be back in it ramsey boys teams just falling apart there's a dragonite here extreme speed speed ties mod check burrito wins it huge okay the flinches dragon have been sacked here the metagross switch on the heels actually so huge he booms on the arrow an mz boy finds himself in a starmie versus snorlax situation which seems like mz's actually pulled through after that horrendous start of this game that is crazy unbelievable burrito can still technically win this looks like he's kind of on his way there nope quick claw mz boys in it 1-1 double stormy lead boys here we go one switches to metagross the other switches to snorlax burrito reading mz boy here the fire blast crit there's the metagross switch on the next earth power oh burrito wins the speedtime booms though gets himself out of that spot just like that they're back to even dragonite threatening here stormy is gonna be the switch extreme speeds though that is 45 okay goes the arrow next very interesting rock sled flinch oh burrito mz boys just in burrito's head white herb proc speed tie dragonite switch on the superpower very interesting play very cool play by burrito i liked a lot oh burrito lost in the sauce goes for the greedy ice beam is there no surf on this what oh no burrito says thought you had mints in the back choke oh no is mz boy actually gonna take this from burrito there's no way [Music] a little bit of a flinch diff [Music] not bad not starting to the brick break here strong is just going to recover spam what can a boy do here but switch to snorlax so the difference here is a tee tar that's weak versus the dragonite and the ttar falls on the easiest brick break you've ever seen in your life just like that burritos up a full pokemon extreme speed is 7pp though recover is 32. black switch on the slack off good play good play actually goes for the body slam and dies and z boy takes it two to one burrito drops to losers in a shocking turn of events we have two winners finalists m z boy and impeccable big win by burrito what game was that uh game two burrito just went up two and up yeah this looks like uh this looks like mz has to get obnoxiously lucky to win this one not gonna get obnoxiously lucky though i know arrow lives that what i mean he died to e-speed though yeah i don't know why he switched out there i think he dies to a brick break right and he also doesn't kill oh wow yeah one one let's get like a quick claw fire blast t tar right not gonna happen m z boy going to grands impeccable is playing winner of the winner of the next souls yeah oh he loses the tie does he get flinched yes oh souls goes up and he loses the second tie yeah god damn arrow moment typically it's a trade-off between recover hidden power grass and psychic either you run two coverage moves and drop recover or you drop one of psychic and hidden power grass since it wasn't the lead it wasn't psychic 1-1 all right and yeah that's a wrap i don't think souls can win anymore [Music] so is that a fourth we have a top three of burrito impeccable and smortney easy1v20 and i'm very very excited to see burrito versus impeccable yeah and slobo dies to crunch that's a wrap rita goes up one now yeah that's the most interesting thing about this game is that if this wasn't crunch tyranitar burrito probably got washed by that slow bro yeah wait wait wait wait hold up burrito can still win no he's jolly thunder barely misses on the kill oh sh burritos in grand finals off of that burrito is in grams grand finals chat we made it just to be clear here a burrito has to win two best of threes if he wants to be champion smortney only has to win one he can air slash here though i can see it comes fighting yeah oh stormy's gotta dodge a flinch yup no after complaining about getting unlucky with arrow all tournament burrito gets a flinch in grand finals yeah even it up 1-1 well he goes up 1-0 right yeah yeah one oh my bad all right arrow all right arrow here we go okay regis i take it all back it does oh it definitely does something oh hmm wait this he just loses unless he crits the dragonite now why didn't he ice beam if he can lose the he can lose to crit now because he didn't ice beam wait i lied he won game one my mistake burrito has one more game back against the wall though tournament point for mz boy if burrito wins this he gets to reset the bracket has to win two more good matchup for burrito this time yeah yep because we all know burritos like zen mode he's got like he's like sitting cross-legged in a room with candles while playing this tournament probably switch okay let's see if burrito remembered fire punch this time defense drop here wait actually boom kills because of the defense drop yeah true true oh fortress is down with no spikes set up that's big burrito seems to always be playing with spikes on this side so yeah big difference that's probably the advantage that he needs better girls on another fire blast that's the burrito special booms again and it booms the snorlax i forgot what was burrito using for red rice with those two dead earlier is it gonna just use starmie oh it gets crit by thunderbolt oh that's kind of huge mz boy types of regis bad in chat nice i guess it is pretty good when uh they blow up one regex answer and you blow up the other one right yep this looks like rock slides on this army switch does uh does tito live a surf it surely does right no i think it does yeah yeah it's like the same exact range as like the metagross meteor mash i feel like yeah i swear every game between these two like is this unfolds the exact same way yeah yeah it's ice beam d-knight so i don't know what he's doing with men's i guess he's just air slash flanging yup that's the wing condition this is fine [Music] he throws out the pump on it and he lifts the rock slide enormous oh burrito wants to air slash so bad here i know he does but he pumps he pumps yeah yeah can't he fathers his teeth pretty decent fodder point there getting the intimidate down he kind of he's gonna earthquake here come on come on oh if hp fighting fighting i think he hasn't right i think he i think he has it yeah yeah yeah he throws out the the mens and then just rock slide wins oh wait no wait doesn't this live i don't i think this dies right it did oh he gets the fridge no oh he got the show dude no shot both the games he wins in his first set of grands infinite luck arrow moment yeah burrito did get robbed by this guy in the normal bracket didn't he yeah bracket reset back to zero zero it's all even now hp fire sept dude the entire tournament has been set up just for this one trap i will swallow my left nut on stream if hp fires this right now oh god [Music] oh he got the quick quality fire listen okay honestly if i'm mz boy i just explode here enough of this useless regis no good switch oh that's hp fired as well yeah wow yeah they realize fortress is something that can that can come to these battles this this set i guess burrito earth powers the metagross switch this is a range to kill if he goes for it it's a it's not a great range is it no uh it's definitely favors oh he just boom okay okay are we gonna get an ice cream trade i think ice beam trade is way better for a burrito though oh the shell bell domenip the ai big time oh mz boy oddly does not elect to go for the tie there as burrito goes into titar on a swampert that's a change okay mz boy kind of unlucky to change the sceptile then huh yeah you know sludge bomb here oh oh he ice beam the switch i feel like that switch is okay oh they both switched yeah yeah he just wins the tie in ice beams and freezes no shot burrito oh br infinite luck dude oh my god luck coming back on you says mz boy oh he thaws immediately not that bad not that bad i don't think you fodder the dean i hear extreme speed is so valuable oh okay cool all right this is an overgrown now that's pretty notable yeah i think you focus punch though i would stay in with swampert here oh he pursued dudes why he's chipping that for aerodactyl that's why because i think it's in range of uh rock slide into air slash now that's a really good pursuit actually yeah that was a phenomenal play he it's also lumbery so and yeah he's boom yeah he has to at that point doesn't sceptile win actually actually uh i think you go t here as burrito yeah okay yeah then like overgrow sceptile just has it all right burrito takes game one of the reset tournament points suddenly for burrito men's lead from burrito dude burrito is really getting like the protagonist oh my god he flamethrower the metagross switch burrito is absolutely insane yeah huge and air slash is the starmie switch burritos in his head mz boy is just absolutely in shambles right now the infinite mentality is the metagross switch he's got him download it oh burrito reveals though a slow bro he clicks toxic on the snorlax which has shown thick fat in past matches yeah so slow bro probably walls this look at that recycle lumbery to play around the hacks that's what i'm talking about dude i'm pretty sure burrito just hired zavion to follow mz boy for an entire week and write a document on how he how he makes decisions and uh the slowbro is just stonewalling the starmie right now scale armor is really showing what's good yeah this is makeshift refresh i guess mz boy is just flailing into the slowbro now he seems to have lost all hope of winning at this stage as burrito predicts another switch doubles into salomon how much does he have him downloaded the pressure does not get let up into slow bro mz's trying to come back himself though he doubles into ttar okay okay okay pursuit but burrito reads right through that and slacks off yeah it seems like these tatars either run pursuit or crunch they don't seem to run both of them [Music] wow quick claw brick break on the snorlax i mean he needs it again right yeah i mean if he gets another one this is a game oh he doesn't get it i feel like you can just play this so defensively now it actually sucks the tutor off okay yeah that's fine because uh i'm just sack you don't need to for anything at this point and yeah arrow gets a kill with the rock slide oh wait yeah sorry i forgot about earthquakes the ttar switch all right it doesn't stop he does get pursuited there but too little too late for mz boy there's such a late point to send out your metagross i feel like metagross is usually the first pokemon to die and not the last one wouldn't be sent out you know i feel like honestly like metagross is probably the thing that can overwhelm its counters the best though you know yeah like when have you ever seen something consistently counter metagross for like an entire match yeah yeah can't seem to find the way past this libra here gg my guy you did come through both players played fantastically let's be real the way that mz boy yeah fought his way up here all the way to winners winners finals i'm not dropping a match and then burrito finding his way back after being thrown out by him burrito really is the anime protagonist of this tournament yeah he really is okay last arrow oh it's not over yet boys there's a way with with an arrow there's a way [Music] when you're slashed there's okay okay one down dude honestly burrito through this by not keeping it slow bro murphy yep okay it's fine he's still healthy all right gets taken out there's no way oh he goes into metagross he has to get flinched like four times yeah not gonna oh no that's the end burrito is september 2021 showdown pokemon challenges champion emerald kaiser late game god z
