Pokémon SoulSilver Hardcore Nuzlocke - STEEL Type Pokémon Only! (No items, No overleveling)

i've been wanting to play through jodo again with a type you don't see too much in those games so today i'm trying my hand on a pokemon soul silver hardcore nuzlocke using only steel types and i know what you're thinking there's only five steel types available to you in johto and the first one's found after the third gem well you see i've found a way around that issue and i'll show you in just a sec but the rules i'll be following in this challenge are of course first off the standard nuzlocke rules where fainted pokemon must be permanently boxed and we only get the first steel type or pokemon that evolves into one in any area then we've got the hardcore rules where battle mode must be played on set at all times no items can be used in battle except for held items and we can't over level the next gym leader's highest level pokemon so let's see if i can beat one of my favorite games with one of my favorite types naturally i start my adventure by naming myself axel and it's then time to pick my very first pokemon and i pick chikorita so that my rival gets cyndaquil after that of course we have to name our rival my name is jeff and this is the part where we can actually start getting steel types and i know there aren't any on route 29 or 30 but we can get some if we catch a pokemon and are able to use the pokewalker that's right this little accessory that you got with the game that you boy rocked every day to school back in the day and on the pokewalker there's an event route called winner's path that you can access as soon as you catch a pokemon if you have it and yeah this event was available in 2010 but i do actually have it on my actual soul silver cartridge and since we're finding them on the pokewalker i'm considering both of them static encounters and come on beldum and bronzer when am i ever gonna get to use that in soul silver again so here they are first off we've got palladium the beldom with a hearty nature and the awesome event moves of zen headbutt ironhead and iron defense then we've got beryllium the com bronzor with heat proof and the event move trick room and i gotta say it does look pretty awesome to walk around with beldum in this game youngster joey say your prayers and not soon after youngster joey's fault we have to face off against faulkner and as you know the first three gym leaders we're just gonna have to use beryllium and palladium and listen faulkner's never that difficult pidgey just goes down to one iron head and his pidgeotto likes to be annoying and use roost but even it goes down after just a couple iron heads i mean steel does resist normal and flying so nobody was scared of that one anyway after the gym we meet this girl who tells us she names her pokemon after the foods she enjoys eating nice to meet you chicken fajita we can also talk to this guy who gives us the move for rock smash which we can now use to smash these rocks in the ruins of alf to gather ourselves as many shards as possible after that we can go back towards the pokemon center and trade all our shards with this guy for a ton of berries and that's certainly going to make things a lot easier against the upcoming gym leaders the next of which is bugsy now bug types are neutral against us since we're psychic type as well and after i raise my defense luckily scyther doesn't get the u-turn crit after focus energy and i can go ahead and raise my defense once again with iron defense as metapod comes out and it's just a clean two hit ko with iron head then cyther comes back and i'm feeling pretty safe so i go for a pretty decent damage iron head as i get crit by a quick attack now fortunately i returned the favor right away with a crit iron head so at least we don't have to deal with scyther anymore and kakuna can't even hit us with poison sting so it's pretty much a joke but listen it's not actually bugsy that i'm afraid of in azalea town see we have to go up against jeff once again and he has cool lava at this point so naturally i'm shaking in my boots and ghastly really not a big problem we can take it out with a super effective zen headbutt but then he sends in the big bad quillava so i have to switch out into heatproof beryllium and look smokescreen was annoying me to know and you guys know how much i hate evasion based strategies but eventually i hit a hypnosis and we can use trickroom and switch out into palladium however quillava wakes up right away and hits me super hard with ember so i have to switch back into beryllium i then start missing my hypnosis but after a while i actually hit and i can start using confusion to whittle down kulava and seriously this took absolutely forever but between confused ray and confusion i actually managed to take it down and i don't think i would be able to win this battle if i didn't have heat proof on my bronzor and even the zubat that shouldn't be that difficult to deal with was just kind of annoying with super sonic but eventually it went down too and we can move on to ilex forest where we find the headbutt guy and now that we've got headbutt we can actually run into our next encounter which is pineco but unfortunately we can't use it until level 31 when it evolves into fortress i named the panko mercury and it happens to have a gentle nature which is absolutely awful anyway it's time for one of the most infamous fights in all of johto vs whitney and my strategy here is to lead up with beryllium to maybe put miltank to sleep but that means we first have to deal with clefairy fortunately though clefairy can't really touch us since we're a steel type and i'm free to take it out with four extra sensories but we actually get a crit on the third so it only takes three then we're up against the stump flinching mill tank and i do flinch once but the next turn i managed to set up a trick room to try and put this thing to sleep with hypnosis now of course when i actually do put it to sleep it does have a lumbari and the twisted dimensions return to normal so i have to put up trick room again and put it to sleep which we managed to do i then decided that my best course of action is to actually confuse it before we switch out into palladium and palladium does about a fourth with iron head but i decided to set up a couple iron defenses so that miltank literally can't touch me and that's when it starts the battle of stomps versus iron heads and i am an oranberry but whitney has two super potions so it takes forever but eventually we take it down and get the third badge after some crying of course i've been waiting for this moment behold my friendship with my pokemon uh what pokemon dog regardless i know what pokemon i'm looking for and it's a scyther in the bug catching contest that i name iridium well now judge the pokemon you've caught we've chosen the winners are you ready for this placing third pokeman william who caught a writhing better net placing second axel who caught a wriggling scyther now wait a minute i get second place again the winner of the contest is but get your don who caught a whopping scyther now you listen here bug catcher dawn this isn't over anyway my wriggling scyther has a naughty nature and the technician ability which is super awesome then while we're fighting a psychic trainer outside the national park belgium gets to level 20 and evolves into metang but that's not the only change to the team since we get to route 38 and we can find ourselves a magnemite which i catch and name pharam it's got a bashful nature which is neutral and we certainly take those and next i go and buy the thunder tm just to power it up a little bit hey hey stop dancing such a serious stance show me something like a hula dance uh dog i don't think she's that kind of dancer but next we have to go up against jeff once again and he starts out with his ghastly so i go into beryllium so i can set up a trick room and take it out with a single extra sensory jeff's next pokemon is quite lava and since we have the trick room we do out speed which means that we can put it to sleep with a hypnosis which we actually managed to hit and a few extra centuries later we actually take out quillava without any trouble i then switch in palladium against zubat so we have it out against magnet pull magnemite and we can take it out with a few iron heads i honestly thought that battle would be way more difficult but next up we got morty who also starts out with ghastly so i set up my trick room again this means that i can out speed the next turn and take it out with an extra sensory but more importantly as soon as morty sends in gengar we're gonna be able to out speed and go for hypnosis which i also fortunately hit this gives me the chance to safely switch into palladium and gengar goes for a hypnosis of its own but i have the chest operator to wake myself up and because of trick room we're faster so we can take it out with a single zen headbutt which is exactly the same thing we do to both of the haunters after they go for curse easy boys after getting our fourth badge we pass through olivine city and start making our way to cienwood on the way we fight a whole bunch of swimmers and pharah manages to get to level 30 and evolves into magneton and after helping poor amphi in the lighthouse we can actually get to the cliff cave where we can find our next encounter a stelix i name it osmium and it has a naive nature which doesn't matter that much but next up we have to take on the 5th gym leader chuck and his fighting types so i lead with beryllium we don't get flinched by rockslide and i managed to hit a really powerful extra sensory we then take massive damage from focus punch as i set up a trick room and out speed the next turn for a ko then we got polywrath and this is why i needed the trick room to be able to out speed with hypnosis and switch out into magneton so that we can safely drop a thunder on this thing and claim our fifth badge fighting types could have been scary but we've got the dream team and we're gonna upgrade it even more by picking up the choice specs at the lake of rage after that we can take out gyarados in one single hit and now we need to help out lance with his rocket mission which i regret since lance just hyper beams this guy right away uh lance are you sure that we're the good guys anyway while fighting team rocket mercury leveled up to 31 which means it evolves into fortress and we can actually start using it and after that we have to fight our 6th gym fight against what i consider the 7th gym leader pride so i lead with spec's magneton and take out seal with a single thundershock and then i have to switch out into palladium as he sends in piloswine luckily i don't get accuracy dropped by mud bomb and my citrus berry keeps me healthy so i go for an iron head and actually get the flinch and the next one takes it out finally we got dugong so i switch out palladium into magnatown once again and a specs thunder is all we need to beat price not exactly the most difficult gym fight then before our next gym battle beryllium levels up to 33 and evolves into bronzong and it's finally time to take on jasmine and her steel types now a lot of people might think that stelix is a steel and rock type but it's actually a steel and ground type so these thunderbolting magnamites have no chance we rock polish up to double our speed take out the first magnemite and then it's time to face jasmine's own steelix but we're faster since we doubled our speed and we just have to spam dig until we take this thing out and i mean yeah jasmine did decide to be annoying and use a hyper potion on steelix but eventually we take it out with another three digs and then all we have to face is the final magnavite and we just dig it as well honestly i just spam dig this fight and we won sometimes the simplest strategy is the best one why would anyone want to take over the radio tower uh listen everyone if everyone in johto can just uh subscribe but thank you anyway while we're rescuing the radio tower we have to take on jeff once again in his quillava but this time beryllium's evolved and we really have the tools to deal with this thing in fact after putting it to sleep we can just straight up take it out with two extra sensories and this just goes to show how powerful heat proof is i definitely didn't need to use an aqua berry there i just wanted to be more safe than sorry the rest of jeff's team is pretty much a joke so we take him out easily moving on we get to blackthorne city where we find our next encounter a skarmory i name it argentum and it has a lonely nature which is plus attack minus defense so kind of good kind of bad and while grinding ferum gets to level 40 and actually evolves into magnazone because of the universal pokemon randomizer allowing for evolutions and at this point it's time for us to take on the final gym battle in the johto region against the dragon type user claire this time i decided to lead off with mercury just to set up some spikes to make it a bit easier to take out the dragonairs and the kingdra later on i do have enough help to limp three dragon rages so i get all my layers up before i switch out into pharam so that i can take out gyarados with a single hit discharge would definitely ko gyarados either way but i did give pherom the choice specs just for later on when we have to face kindra but for now we have to go up against dragon air and after my lumbery heals the first thunder wave off i do get paralyzed and manage to confuse the dragonair and take it out with an onslaught of extra sensories which means it's kinder time and i do get smokescreen but i managed to hit hypnosis through it so that we can switch out into pharam now after all the spikes damage there is a roll that actually ko's kendra here but after going for discharge i don't end up getting it but citrus berry kinda saves me here since she doesn't go for a full restore so lastly we have to go up against another dragonair and since we're locked into discharge we have to switch out back into beryllium and do the same thing we did before and just take it out with extra sensories we then have to take the elder's quiz which claire can't seem to pass which means she's answered that violence and cheating are important for raising pokemon no wonder she's petty enough to not give us the badge we then make a quick pit stop over at the kimono girl dance studio to see who deserves the title of miss johto it's one of the few titles i haven't claimed yet and first off is umbreon which is pretty annoying but we can handle it quite well with mercury even though we get confused three bug bites do the job kimono girl number two has an espeon which is way less defensive than umbreon so it only takes two bug bites this time next up is flareon which is obviously the most dangerous for our steel types but we can switch into beryllium with heat proof to tank fireblast fairly well the first fire blast ends up burning me though so i take a whole ton of damage after i put it to sleep and i go for extra sensory to try to whittle it down but it goes for fire blast which we live on just 6 hp and we retaliate with an extra sensor which takes it out which means we don't go down to burn next up is jolteon so i switch into osmium to dodge the thunderbolt and we can just go for dig and luckily we hit through all those double teams then we got the final pokemon vaporeon so i switch into specs magnazone and just destroy it with a discharge to claim the title for myself the sisters then asked me to film their tik-tok dance which is where i personally draw the line so i go as far away as i can towards kanto and pick up the tm for earthquake before i challenge jeff for the final time you see i plan to humiliate jeff so bad that he never wants to challenge me again and how am i gonna do that well you see i got both curse and rock polish on my stelix so as soon as i had enough boosts it's bye bye time sneezel goes first to an earthquake then it's typhlosion's turn to go down to an earthquake obviously i can't hit haunter with an earthquake so it goes down to irontail and the rest just kind of follow suit jeff it's been nice knowing you see you never after defeating another ginger villain which nintendo really seems to like lance are you sure you're not a villain we play a bunch of voltorb flip an infuriating game that's kinda luck based to get some tms and speaking of tms we can go behind the lighthouse in olivine city and pick up the tm for charge beam and so with all that preparation it's finally time to take on the elite four the first of which is will and his psychic types will starts out with zatu so i go into ferris and he fails at me first as i set up a substitute so i can go for charge beam and charge up my special attack my first charge beam doesn't quite get the ko and will use the full restore but that just gives me another chance to get a special attack boost which i do and his next pokemon is the abomination that is jinx so i go for a super effective magnet bomb which doesn't quite get the ko so the next turn i start going for charge beams to boost my special attack even more and it turns out that one charge beam is enough to take out jinx and i start to set up even more with the move against exeggutor at this point i have too many boosts for executor to be able to withstand any more hits and all the rest of will's pokemon are weak to electric he's got slowbro and another zatu so i'm at a very good spot here behind my sub to just take home the win and if you didn't notice already i actually went into the elite four with everyone at level 44 instead of the cap at 47 just to give myself a little bit of an extra challenge since steel types are pretty strong so next up is our boy koga who graduated from being a gym leader to an elite four member good job my dude but we're gonna have to set up on you and totally destroy you with some rock polish curse action aeria dose is really weak but it does end up getting us pretty low with giga drain before we destroy it with an earthquake and venomoth unfortunately suffers the same fate then we got fortress which actually ends up living an earthquake but it sets up toxic spikes which don't matter at all and a second one gets a high roll and we end up taking it out anyway after that we got crobat which i thought i set up enough rock polishes to out speed but we don't luckily it goes for double team though and we can just hit it with an iron tail and not miss for the ko then finally we got muk which is slow as slop which just goes down to a super effective earthquake and we gotta challenge a boy bruno now i guess bruno is going to be argentine's time to shine since we have sword stance from the game corner and this thing really can't touch us so we can set up to plus six and start hitting things with flies so hitmontop goes down and next up is hitmonlee which does hit us with a swagger which is super dangerous since we're at plus six but we actually managed to break through twice and take it out with a fly i then stupidly decide to risk it as hitmonchan goes for a fire punch but we actually snap out of confusion so hitmonchan is history as well goodbye hitmons onix is an easy kill with steel wing and machamp can actually hit us because of nogard while we're in the air but it doesn't end up taking us out so goodbye matt champ and that's it for bruno and so has come the time for us to face off against karen the final elite four member and her dark types that starts out with umbreon so i decided to set up a little bit with steelix and as i set up she sets up a bunch of double teams which is super annoying but she predicts my earthquake and switches into levitate gengar which i clearly miss but she pulls a focus miss and i can take her out with an iron tail next up is hound doom so i'm threatened out into beryllium with heat proof and it goes for nasty plot but i actually managed to hit my hypnosis so i switch into steelix and it's over if pound doom isn't asleep twice but luckily it is and i can take it out with an earthquake that could have been the run right there vileplume comes out so i switch into skarmory and get paralyzed and fully paralyzed annoyingly before i can set up a sword stance and just take it out with a fly after that i mean not that i was ever scared of a vile plume to be honest since they have all steel types but then karen miss plays and goes for whirlwind so i'm faster with my paralyzed skarmory and i can just take it out in one fly finally all she has left is her umbreon which confuses me and i hurt myself in confusion so i decide to switch argenta mount and i switch into osmium which was my original strategy for umbreon and i go for a few curses before i try to hurt it with earthquake but it has so many double teams that it takes a few turns but eventually even umbreon goes down i mean it does try to confuse me but i carried lumbery just for that reason and i managed to take it out with a final earthquake and now all we have to do is beat the champion but before fighting lance i have a couple of rare candies in my bag so i give the first one to matang so it evolves into metagross which is a huge power boost and i give the second one to magnazone just for that extra power and even though steel types resist dragons this is actually a really tricky fight to prepare for i was not sure if we were gonna get through this but beryllium starts by not flinching and actually hitting a hypnosis then we set up trick room switch into ferrum and go for a charge beam which doesn't quite take it out but we need a special attack boost to take out charizard with a discharge and so since we got the boost on the first charge beam i decided to go for discharge for the 100 accuracy and this means that we can actually take out charizard in one hit as well and out speed because of the trick room then we got the first dragonite the fire blast one and it goes for safeguard as i go for discharge for some damage and since we haven't taken any damage yet and i do have aqua berry i do tank a fire blast and go for a second discharge but now that we've burned our aqua berry i have to switch out into beryllium which also has agaberry so i don't take that much damage from the first fire blast and then it goes for outrage for some reason which doesn't do that much and i can set up my trick room then since i know dragonite's locked into outrage we can safely switch into palladium who resists and take out the dragonite with an iron head then we got the thunder dragonite which does paralyze us we can get some good damage with a couple of iron heads but thunder actually gets me down to such low health that i need to switch out and as i go into osmium i expected lance to go for a thunder but he goes for a full restore instead which isn't that great but the only two moves this thing can use against me are dragon rage and hyper beam and i resist both so i decided to set up a bit with curse i then hit dragonite down to about 25 health and i miss three iron tails in a row i mean i know it's not that accurate but come on and the fourth one actually ends up taking it out then we got the third and final dragonite which misses a blizzard as we switch into fortress and we actually dodge the thunder wave with our lumbery the first time and we can get off a couple of rock tunes to have this thing speed after that i do try to go for a third which we actually miss instead of getting paralyzed for but since dragonite has to recharge i decide to switch out and i go into pharam who can launch a couple of discharges and we actually don't flinch from the dragon rush so that's enough to take out the third dragonite and all we have to contend with is aerodactyl and the thing is aerodactyl doesn't have earthquake in this game so i can pretty much go into osmium freely set up a curse and then just go for an iron tail to take this thing out so that's it for lance and i'm honestly impressed that i could get through all of johto without a single death but i guess that's steel types for you so in this same video i've decided that i'm gonna try to take on kanto and red as well but first we gotta just give a salute to all the steel types that got us this far thank you guys let's move on to kidzo so that's exactly what we do we board the ss aqua and right away a seasick dude barfs on my shoes oh come on those were brand new we're also forced by the captain to play hide and seek with this girl like come on treat a champion with a bit more respect we do however receive the metal coat for scyther and arrive in vermilion city i then try to go to cerulean gym when ugh hey where are you going i mean probably the worst place to hide in public is in between two people who'd rather be alone and speaking of people who don't want to be alone in fact she wants to be in a lot of her own company we gotta fight janine next and she's got poison types which is gonna be super easy since we're immune with all of our steel types we do shake up confusion with the lumbery but it takes a second zen headbutt that gets a high roll to take out crowbad in one hit wheezing also ends up living a zen headbutt so we take it out with a bullet punch the next turn but after that we can pretty much just clean up with zen headbutts all across the board this fight was never gonna be difficult the most difficulty this fight caused is the fact that the level cap is at level 50 which meant that i had to go in a little bit under leveled against the elite four anyway after the fight iridium got to level 29 with the experience share so i gave it a rare candy while it was holding the metal coat to evolve into scissor but since we saved the power plant we can play the poke flute on the poke gear and wake up the snorlax which is only really important since we can use thief with sizor and steal its leftovers so next up we have to face off against the military man himself lieutenant serge and since we have a ground type and osmium well you guys can kind of expect where this one's going i basically just set up a ton of curses against raichu i do end up getting paralyzed from static since i misclicked and went for crunch instead of earthquake but it doesn't really matter in the end since everything else is weak to earthquake and they can't really touch me with anything whatsoever and i mean yeah he does try to be annoying by using double team on both of his electrodes kind of like with raichu but it just prolongs the inevitable also just as a side note have we ever been told what lieutenant serge's first name is like steve surge thaddeus surge let me know anyway pretty much back to back with lieutenant serge we have to go up against brock and his rock types which is another type where we have a great matchup so i go for a few sword stances before firing off an onslaught of bullet punches and it is a massacre and i gotta say it's so awesome to be able to use scizor it's only possible through the universal pokemon randomizer but it is such an awesome pokemon that i'm glad i get the chance we then go back to cerulean city where we ruin misty's date and ruining dates kinda seems to be the theme in cerulean however she forgives us and graciously agrees to fight us in a gym battle and we've got the perfect thing for her after not getting confused by water pulse we destroy golduck with a specs discharge and obviously we can't hit the quagsire that comes out afterwards so we have to switch out so i go into argentine who sets up a few sword stances as quagsire raises its special defense with amnesia which doesn't matter and i can just take it out with a fly her next pokemon is lapras and it's actually tanky enough to survive a stab plus four fly from skarmory so after she goes for a full restore i hit her for some damage with night slash and go for another fly to take out lapras and finally she only has her starmie left so i tank a non-stabbed neutral ice beam fairly well and hit it with a night slash for super effective damage and that's it for misty anywho all this champion business is pretty stressful so i go to the stealth company since i hear they're giving out free pokeballs but when i get there the elevator's out of order so i make some small talk with a guard instead so uh mr silfperson what's your favorite james bond movie oh it's definitely gotta be spectre huh i'm more of a casino royale fan myself anyway while we're in saffron city we might as well take on our next challenge sabrina and her psychic types and i lead off with iridium once again and go for it agility the next turn i go for a sword stance as espeon goes for combined and at this point i'm set up to one hit ko and outspeed all of sabrina's pokemon but i mean look steel types were introduced to nerf psychic types so this makes sense this gym is great it's full of strong trainers yeah nobody's forgotten your original line you creep filthy old man aside though it's time for us to take on erica and her grass types and she starts out with jump left so i lead off with skarmory and even though i get leech seeded it can't really touch me so i go ahead and set up a couple of swords dances once again and go for a fly as it goes for u-turns so i hit the incoming blossom and take it out then jump left makes its return but it goes for u-turn once again so i hit my fly on victory bell this time and obviously take it out after it goes down erika sends out jump luff once again but this time it doesn't go for u-turn it sets up the sun as we go for fly and it tries to u-turn us but then we take it out finally and erica's last pokemon is her signature tangela but it just goes for an ancient power doesn't even get the boost and gets absolutely bopped by a fly erika you never stood a chance after the fight we have to get to cinnabar island but i run into this old man who asked me if he ever taught me to catch a pokemon oh i certainly remember and your explanation was missing no details and when we get to pallet town i make sure to get cameron to take a picture of the whole squad while it's still intact outside the famous house and it turns out that cinnabar is nothing but rubble and ash so we have to fight blaine in his new gym in the seafoam islands and i mean just look at this man's head shine what a beacon of hope anyway blaine leaves with macargo so i out speed with quad effective earthquake from osmium and take it out and the rest of the gym is kinda scary i switch into beryllium as magmar misses an overheat then it sets up the sun and i actually managed to hit a hypnosis and after that i go for a confused ray just to up my chances a little bit if this thing wakes up because overheat in the sun is a scary thing to think about i then set up my trick room to out speed and i go for a psychic but magmar actually stays asleep and a second psychic takes it out so all we have to worry about now is rapidash and i miss my hypnosis as it hits me with a crit overheat luckily my aquaberry reduces the damage and the next turn i miss my hypnosis again but rapidash misses an overheat rapidash uses bounce so i miss hypnosis and when it lands i miss another one it then gets me down to 15 hp with an overheat but i actually managed to hit my next hypnosis and put it to sleep so i can switch out and it only takes one earthquake for osmium to take this thing out and win us the badge but that was way too close for comfort and honestly i deserve to miss a few hypnosis after how lucky i've been in the rest of the run so now we're getting ready for blue's gym and i run into a fire blast at tauros which luckily doesn't do that much since its special attack isn't too high but wow you get surprised sometimes but it's finally time for our last gym battle of this challenge against blue from pallet town now i know that blue starts out with exeggutor so i lead with iridium who can outspeed with a quad effect of x's or to take it out blue then goes into arcanine which is quite effective against us so we have to switch out into heat proof beryllium and even though we have heat proof we honestly don't tank a flare blitz well at all and after leftovers we can live a second one on 4 hp and put it to sleep with hypnosis honestly that was once again way too close for comfort but just like with rapidash we can switch out into osmium and take out arcanine with a single earthquake then we gotta go up against machamp so i switch into my skarmory but he hits a dynamic punch which gets me confused and to blow half health so i swap out into metagross now metagross isn't exactly in the best position since zen headbutt isn't 100 accurate but we do manage to hit it and take out the match up in one hit up next is rydon and it might seem a bit weird to stay in since it has earthquake but we do have a shock of berry to reduce the damage and we can just take it out with a couple of iron heads but after that we get our attack dropped by gyarados so we swap out into pharam who actually has the choice scarf so even though gyarados goes for a dragon dance we can out speed and kill it with a discharge and this actually puts us in the perfect position for blue's last pokemon pidgeot which we can't take out with a single discharge but citrus berry heals it up to the point where he doesn't heal and we can take it out with a second so that's it for the gym challenge and i'm pretty surprised that we got through this without any death so far let's see if we can keep that streak going against the final fight against red and the pokemon that i'm most scared of on red's team is obviously charizard so i taught the stealth rock tm we just picked up to osmium so that we can use it the first turn and just take out pikachu with earthquake the second so it's actually perfect that red leads out with pikachu because that gives me the free chance to set up the rocks without any danger of getting hit by a powerful thunderbolt next is blastoise and the only thing i have to take a focus blast okay is bronzong and i can try to put it to sleep with hypnosis unfortunately though i miss my hypnosis and i get hit by a second focus blast and the next turn i miss and focus miss misses as well but after another focus miss i put it to sleep so i can safely swap out into pharam now i know that i can take one non-crit focus blast from blastoise with magnazone but luckily it does its thing misses and i can take out blastoise with a choice specs discharge but then we got the big baddie charizard who takes half of its health to stealth rock damage before we switch out to osmium to tank a flare blitz and unfortunately there's not much i can do osmium has to go down to a flare blitz so we get the first death of the run osmium you will be remembered as a hero always but now that charizard is in such low health i expect red to use a full restore so we can do a cheeky move and send in ferum and go for a specs discharge to take it out free sometimes the ai makes the worst possible move for itself but next up is venusaur so we have to switch out and even though we get put to sleep there's really nothing that this venusaur can do to touch us the worst thing it can do is probably frenzy plant and that really won't hurt us at all and on top of that it even has to recharge the next turn so i can sit here all day but eventually i do wake up and i can take out venusaur with a single zen headbutt from palladium now second to last we got snorlax and this thing is really bulky so i devised a strategy involving iridium now steel types can't get poisoned by toxic orbs so i gave it to iridium and i can use the move fling to fling it onto snorlax since i can't get the move toxic i then decide to go for a sword stance to set up my attack a little bit as it gets whittled down by toxic and after that it's at enough of a range where i can take it out with a single bullet punch i'm not exactly sure if i needed to use that fling strategy but i thought it was kind of fun and next up we gotta face red's final pokemon lapras and i decided to see if plus two bullet punch is enough to take out lapras after stealth rock but i just barely don't take it out and iridium gets taken down by a brine iridium you're a true hero all the way through luckily though we got the rest of our team in the back and we can send in specs magna zone and take out the lapras with a single discharge even after the full restore and that makes us the true champion of kanto and johto gotta say this steel run was so much fun to make i love heart golden soul silver and you guys definitely need to let me know what do you think about using these event and pokewalker pokemon in heartgold and soulsilver it makes a lot more runs possible if you do this so if you want to see more runs like this in the future definitely let me know otherwise you can give me suggestions of any
