Pokémon White 2 Hardcore Nuzlocke - Flying Types Only! (No items, No overleveling)

the flying type has historically been a secondary typing to confirm that a pokemon you know flies but in gen 5 we got the first ever mono flying type and we've gotten a couple more since then and in that time the flying type has built more of its own identity so can i beat a hardcore nuzlocke of what i consider one of the hardest pokemon games while entirely airborne well to get started i need to get myself off the ground and the first flying type i can catch in black and white 2 is pidov i name it harry you're a pigeon harry and harry's gonna have to be the chosen one because he's the only pokemon i can get before challenging the first two gyms which brings up the problem of me deciding to play this game on challenge mode a gamer that gives gym leaders more pokemon and higher levels the problem with padov is that it doesn't really do anything special except for the fact that mine has the super luck ability this combined with the fact that at level 15 pidove gets air cutter a high critical hit ratio move could be pretty useful which raises the obvious question dude what about the fact that the level cap is 14. this is certainly a problem and the only way to play around this is to abuse the hardcore nuzlocke rules you see the level cap keeps you from leveling past the gym leader's highest level pokemon before entering the fight but it says nothing about leveling up during that fight this means that we can almost level up harry to level 15 before entering this fight and after taking out patrat and getting to level 15 we finally get air cutter this does come at the pretty steep cost of just about half of our health but at least we're better equipped to deal with lullapop speaking of which we hit it with an air cutter doing just under half as it sets up with workup and it's scary as that is the next turn my air cutter does get the critical hit taking it out leaving just sharon's own pedal however this time even a non-critical hit air cutter does way more than half health as it sets up a workup hitting me with a quick attack which activates my ornberry and i can then proceed to just take it out with another air cutter this fight could have definitely led to a few lost attempts if we didn't get that critical hit against lillipup but i'll definitely take my first badge and since there aren't any pokemon we can catch in between sharon and roxy we might as well just move on to the fight and much like charon roxy's challenge mud buff is being buffed up to three team members i'm also faced with the reality that her signature move venoshock being a special move and harry having a minus special defense nature is probably going to lead to a wipe here but i at least came in with some semblance of a strategy going for a workup as a venner shock hits me down to about half i then start going for roos as roxy rains down the venashocks i figured she would keep doing this since it's doing pretty good damage but for some reason she does go for an assurance which means i get another free workup in from here on out though she just continues to use venashock as i use roost and the important thing to note here is that both vanishock and roost have 10 pp now while a critical hit from this coughing could end the run right here and now theoretically i could completely stall it out of venashocks using up all of my roosts and while this strategy will leave me unable to do any type of healing against roxy's remaining pokemon at least we might be able to get past this coughing and sure enough with a bit of luck we managed to have coffin run out of venashox without getting hit by that one in 16 chance to get crit i decided to set up once more with work up to plus three as the coffin goes for a smog getting a poison which we heal off with our petroberry not wanting to get poisoned again i annihilate the coughing with an air cutter as roxy sends in her grimer i then go for quick attack since grimer has great special defense and i don't want air cutter disabled but it just goes for a venashock meaning it's time for attempt to wait hold on a minute did we just survive on 4 hp well it turns out that grimer's measly special attack stat of 40 isn't enough to take out pidov even though harry has a minus special defense nature and was below half health not exactly what i expected but i will certainly take it hey miss univer great work is always here take this before i can go to castellia city where i can get my second encounter i need to backtrack a bit to deal with some team plasma shenanigans during which harry reaches level 21 and evolves into tranquil and as soon as i get to the city of opportunities i immediately head to the sewers perhaps not the most appealing tourist destination for most but for a flying type trainer it's the perfect place to find a zubat i go ahead and name it malfoy and much like harry it's got a naive nature maybe they've got more in common than they think because the level cap is at 26 i can immediately evolve malfoy into a golbat and head over to the relic passage where we can get our next encounter a woobat i named her bellatrix and was honestly kind of excited that it gets combined fairly early but then i realize it has the unaware ability so my dreams were crushed i want pokemon to be in the new office but i can't say such a thing in front of my girlfriend you either have massive trust issues in your relationship or your girlfriend doesn't like pokemon and i don't know which is the bigger problem my pokemon where did it go wherever it is you better hope it had nothing to do with that guy's girlfriend since you can get a pokemon massage in castelia city i make sure to get malfoy to max friendship and evolve it into a crowbar now listen flying types have some pretty bad matchups in this game like electric types and steel types but one of the better match-ups we've got is versus berg and his bug types however it can't be a complete sweep since he starts out with a rock type dwevel so i go ahead and lead with bellatrix i instantly go for an attract and even though it's amazing that anyone could love bellatrix this dwell doesn't seem to want to hit her the second turn it does break through love and just goes for a rock polish just out speed the next turn and be immobilized as i go for another air cutter taking it down into the red as it heals up with a citrus berry but it's not quite enough since another air cutter is enough to take it out as berg then sends in his keroblast an air cutter takes it down into the red so expecting a hyper potion i go ahead and swap out into malfoy who the following turn can just take it out with a single wing attack this is exactly where having a crowbat this early in the game comes in handy since we can just out speed lee vanie and take it out with a quad effective wing attack and even though shellmet manages to survive one hit another one swiftly grants us the third badge continuing our journey towards nimbasa city we make our way to route 4 where on mondays in white 2 we can actually find braviary and this freedom loving bird doesn't just have amazing stats but it normally evolves at level 54 which means this is one of the only chances we might get to use it ever in a playthrough i name it buckbeak and with a hearty nature it's a very welcome addition to the team since our next upcoming fight is gonna be a tricky one and to prepare for the fight with my arch-nemesis i head on over to the desert resort where we can pick up a sigilif i name it trelawny and head over to route 5. sunshine daisies butter mellow turn that stupid flying squirrel yellow a molga is actually one of my favorite pokemon ever so i'm very happy to add ron to the team and with our final preparations getting everybody up to the level cap harry in fact evolves into unpheasant and so the time has finally come to take on the previous miss universe and my lifelong arch nemesis elisa this time in an incredibly unfavorable matchup for me if she ever had a chance to reclaim that title this is it there's nothing on my team that's a particularly good lead whatsoever so i just lead with trelawney who gets hit by a vault switch as she swaps out into flaffy which means i get to set up my light screen at least this is going to be absolutely crucial since for a few turns we can actually tank some hits i go ahead and swap into buck beak as i get hit by a thunder wave which i managed to heal off with a cherry berry i then just about miss out on the ko with a return as i get paralyzed anyway elisa then heals up with a hyper potion but this time my return is at least enough to take out the flaffy elisa then sends back in her amulga which means i'm probably getting volt switched here but because of my light screen it doesn't do any damage at all as she swaps out into joltek which i can just promptly take out with a return imoga comes back in and since our light screen is expired voltswitch does way more damage as she swaps out into zebstrika on the switch i do manage to land a return which does massive damage as she then just heals up a bit with a citrus berry not wanting to get destroyed by a volt switch here i just decided to switch out but she goes for pursuit for some odd reason as i send in trelawney the ai then goes for stomp i guess to try and flinch me as i get a bit of hp back with an oranberry and i can once again set up my light screen i can't exactly switch here since some strike has got pursuit but it ends up getting a critical hit anyway leaving me at 16 hp as i can take it out with a psi beam this kinda pins me in a terrible position since amolga's got pursuit i can't switch out and it's gonna out speed with a volt switch anyway so trelawney is unfortunately gonna have to get sacked i might even have been able to survive that if the substrika didn't get a crit but so it goes in nuzlocks there's nothing i can go into here that's entirely safe but at least i've got the light screen up and a few turns to try and maybe get some bite flinches with malfoy however my light screen runs out immediately after the second bite which means that the next volt switch does massive damage taking me down into the red not wanting to lose malfoy which is a sentence i never thought i would say i go ahead and swap out into ron who tanks the volt switch fairly well and can then just out speed the amolga the next turn and take it out with a shock wave to be honest i was expecting this fight to go way worse and i'm just happy to get out of it with only one casualty well now you're an even more wonderful trainer than i expected your sweet fighting style swept me off my feet whoa whoa whoa there elisa get in line you know my first pick is olivia or maybe steven stupid steven with a stupid phallic pokemon huh wonder what happens if i push this button oops making my way towards driftvale city i can pick up my next encounter a ducklit a plus speed nature certainly isn't something to complain about and i name it cho since her patronus is actually a swan and honestly swan is probably the perfect encounter to get just before a ground type gym and with the expert belt equipped it's time to take on clay and this cowboy oil tycoon can normally be one of the most difficult gym leaders in all of pokemon and in fact we've gotta be incredibly careful around this exit drill since that rock slide could do some massive damage after taking out croco rock with a single bubble beam i go for a feather dance on onyx since i will leave it on sturdy if i go for a bubble beam and i really don't want to get hit by a full power explosion i then go for a second feather dance as the onyx just goes for another rock polish now that the onyx out speeds it is gonna get a flinch with a rock slide which is doing pretty pitiful damage not because it's at -4 mostly because onyx is just a terrible pokemon after getting it down to sturdy with a bubble beam i expect clay to go for a hyper potion so i take the turn to just heal up with a roost i'm then struck by another puny rock slide as i get it down to sturdy once again with a bubble beam lay then does exactly what i expected him to do and goes boom with his onyx which at this point doesn't do that much damage since it's a minus four attack next up is sand slash and here i make a pretty fatal mistake as i mis-click and click on roost and the sand slash gets a crit rock slide fortunately though the next turn i just go for another roost as the sand slash goes for a hone clause and we can just take it out with one bubble beam but the real threat on clay's team is excadrill so i immediately go for a feather dance to get it to -2 attack but even still the incoming rock slide does massive damage so i have to go for roost the next turn and with a stroke of luck cho actually dodges the rock slide meaning that we can get in another free feather dance and being at -4 this next rock slide really doesn't do that much damage so we can just go for a roost healing up to full at this point i'm in a great situation to start attacking so i go for a bubble beam and it leaves the exit drill in the red activating its citrus berry healing it up but since it doesn't get a crit on its rock slide i can just go for another bubble beam taking out the excadrill claiming the fifth gym badge now that the level cap is increased we can finally get bellatrix up to level 37 evolving her into a swoo bat i am the nugget man and i'm the nugget boy wow the nugget pros really became a family business between black and white and the sequel now get about it after that fine reunion it's time to take on skyla and her flying types and this fight starts out with a swoobat mirror match i know i dissed wubat earlier in the run but skyles swoobat can kinda be a problem for us here after doing a pretty hefty chunk with acrobatics bellatrix does manage to set up a light screen which means i can swap out into buckbeak who's gonna take the full amount of damage from acrobatics since it's a physical move however i'd rather take that than a full power psychic and after getting hit by another one buckbeak clean one hit ko's the swoop out with a return next up is swanna and this is the real reason we needed that light screen because of the boosted special defense we can tank two surfs which means we can just one shot it with a quad effective volt switch swan is incredibly fast and it could have devastated the team so i'm glad i found a strategy that could deal with it before it dealt with me i send in cho through volt switch as my light screen expires and i hit the sigilift with a surf for some pretty massive damage as it retaliates with a psychic lowering my special defense but that's not too big a deal since another surf is enough to take it out finally we have to deal with skarmory and cho would have been a great option but since she's at such low hp i decided to swap out into malfoy as the skarmory agilities i then go for confused raid to hope for some confusion damage because i'm really not going to be able to do too much with wing attack and bite from malfoy but my plan backfires pretty hilariously as it just breaks through and hits me with a crit steel wing since i'm now dead to another crit and crobat is probably my most useful team member i swap out into harry as it just breaks through confusion again the steel wing hits me below half activating my oranberry and air slash does about a fourth the skarmy then snaps out of confusion hitting me with a crit steel wing down to 1 hp after which a citrus berry pretty much undoes all the damage i did that turn with air slash wanting to spare the pigeon who lived i decided to send in bellatrix's death fodder but let's be honest nobody liked bellatrix anyway at this point i don't have a lot of options i don't have anything that can deal great damage to skarmory so i just send in buckbeak and use the fly leftovers combo to try and gain back as much health as possible as i do about a fourth with each fly figuring that i can take one more steel wing as long as it doesn't grip me i stay in get taken down into the red as i go for a final flight get a bit of healing with the leftovers and finally hit a critical hit of my own taking out the skarmory i wouldn't say that i'm proud of losing a pokemon to skyla but since it was bellatrix i can make an exception i was born here and i'll die here why is lance and his dragonite in town i didn't see him it's kind of ironic that we lost a pokemon to skyler's skarmory since we can now pick up our own skarmri at reversal mountain i name it minerva and i gotta say it's a pretty exciting addition to the team as you can see i am an ultra rich billionaire excuse me what i wonder what's in this house what could go wrong the road between skyland drayden's gym is quite long and on the way we can pick up a swablu on route 14 which i named hermione then after mercilessly beating dudley i make my way towards lacunosa town where on the way i pick up a drift blimp i go ahead and name it margery for obvious reasons then on route 11 right outside opalucid city i pick myself up a gligar and name it after he who must not be named and with that it's high time to take on drayden and his dragon types and while our team is looking more stacked than ever this is definitely the gym with the highest chance to just set up and sweep through our entire team the first turn i immediately burned drutagon with a willow whip so the crunch doesn't do too much damage then expecting another crunch i swap out of margaery into minerva the steel type to resist the crunch and between minerva's rocky helmet and the bonus damage from burn i'm actually doing quite a lot of chip damage each turn to the strutagon and since it's doing pretty negligible damage each turn i decided to just set up three layers of spikes for the hacks wrist since all the other pokemon dodged the spikes but it's the haxaris with the potential to set up with dragon dance that's the real issue eventually though the dragon just takes itself out on the rocky helmet and drayden sends in alteria fearing a fire blast here i swap out into cho but the ulterior just goes for a cotton guard i hit it with an icy wind which doesn't have that high a base power but it does hit it for quad effective damage but it isn't quite enough to take it out as it just goes for another cotton guard drayden then heals up with a hyper potion but the next turn i just get a critical hit icy wind dealing with the ulteria flygon is next and i immediately go for a feather dance to lower its potential damage output as it hits me with a rock slide fairly hard i then do what i should have just done in the first place outspeeding it and taking it out with a single icy wind drayden then sends in his final pokemon hacks risk getting hurt by the spikes as i use another feather dance to lower its attack and drayden being drayden of course goes for a dragon tail swapping out cho into harry but what he doesn't know is that harry also has featherdance lowering haxrus down to -4 attack in an attempt to gain back the attack he's lost drayton then goes for a dragon dance as i decide to swap out into minerva with another dragon dance the hackstress is now still at -2 attack and even though it out speeds and gets to -1 i can hit it with a steel wing which does more than half of its remaining health with a critical hit the next turn dragon decides to get back to neutral attack with another dragon dance as i hit it down into the red with a steel wing finally draden decides to get greedy and boost his attack stat up to plus one as i can just finish him off with a final steal wing now this does mean we've taken care of draden and quite swimmingly at that but we still have to deal with team plasma usually these frozen pirates aren't that big a deal but for my flying types it's not as chill i didn't stand a chance i can't believe hacksaw has blasted me all the way over here man what is it with dragon masters and attacking people with their pokemon however speaking of people who honestly probably should be attacked by pokemon we next have to go up against zinzelin who focuses on ice types he's got a couple of cryogonals and a weavile so i decide to lead with skarmory which is our only pokemon that doesn't take super effective damage i tank an ice beam above half and then take out the cryogonal with a steel wing so i'm thinking this is gonna go well in fact the next triagonal just goes for a light screen so i'm thinking i'm golden when i miss a steel wing cryogal then hits me with a confused ray and unlike skyla skarmory which never got hit in confusion at all minerva's not quite as lucky since minerva's probably my best team member at the moment i don't want to hit myself in confusion and get hit by an ice beam to get taken down so i swap out into cho who takes over half from an ice beam i sort of expected it to do a little bit less but basically anything i switch in here is gonna get taken out so i have to make the unfortunate decision to swap in harry sorry you had to be the one chosen this time harry you're a blizzard harry the truth is padav was pretty good for the early game but at this point it's outclassed by pretty much every other member of our team it's a shame we have to lose our starter but at least we can swap in buckbeak and revenge kill this cryogonal with a superpower weavile is zinzalin's final pokemon but since we got a defense drop from the superpower i decide to swap out of buckbeak into minerva tanking the ice shard in fact since ice shard is weavil's only ice type move and we have pretty good defense and it's not super effective minerva being at low health isn't really that big an issue and we can take out the weevil with a couple of steel wings oh zinzalin you've robbed the world of such a sweet pigeon now that our team's been fractured i decide to grab swablu out of the box and evolve it into alteria and with that it's time to take on the final gem leader marlin and his water types he starts out with waylord which despite being huge is actually less dense than air i immediately go for a bolt switch with ron hoping to do lethal damage but it leaves the waylord at just a sliver of hp as i swap out into cho icebeam does about 40 after which i expect marlin to go for a hyper potion so i swap back out into ron at this point since i know that discharge is more powerful than volt switch i can just click it the next turn taking out the waylord in one shot for some reason marlin then thinks it's a good idea to swap in mantine which gets absolutely decimated by a volt switch even though it's got pretty decent special defense expecting carracosta to be marlin's next pokemon of choice i send in cho to be able to out speed and use feather dance this ends up working out very well since it misses a rock slide which means i can get another free feather dance as the caracosta just goes for a shell smash because of the lower defenses i decide to go for an air slash and it actually just misses the rock slide this means i can freely click surf the next turn taking out the caracosta next is jealousand who freely gets in a shadow ball as i just miss an air slash which i guess i deserve after both of those rock slide misses i send in buckbeak to tank the incoming energy ball and then go for a flies i dodge a skull but i end up missing the fly and getting hit by the next skull considering it didn't do too much damage though i decided to do the same dance again and fly actually does way above half but it heals up with a citrus berry i get hit by another skull but realizing that it's never gonna go for shadow ball against my normal pokemon i send in margaery to tank another skull then after getting some leftovers recovery all i have to do is press shadow ball since i out speed and win the fight and now that we've collected all eight gym badges you might think we could just go to the elite four and hit a home run but we've got a lot of team plasma nonsense to deal with and while i didn't get unlucky with skarmory against zinzelin this time we have the hardest fights in the game ahead of us and the first of the crazy team plasma fights coming up is versus kolres this guy's got a stacked team of steel types almost all of which having strong electric type moves for this exact reason i lead with the dark lord going for bulldoze taking the magneton down into the red as it hits me with a flash cannon i gave gligar the eevee light before the fight which means it's tanking these hits way better than it otherwise would and as kolras uses a full restore i go for another couple of bulldozes taking out the magneton second out is magna zone so similarly i go for bulldoze once again taking it down to its sturdy as it hits me with a flash cannon it takes me down to just 40 hp but another bulldoze is enough to take it out next up is cling clang which could potentially pose a bit of an issue so i go ahead and swap out into margaery as it goes for a shift gear i decide to stay in for one turn tanking a thunderbolt just so that i can potentially fire off a willowist burning this thing to not have to deal with its physical moves then what i do is i just swap out into minerva whenever it wants to attack glygart then when it wants to use thunderbolt against minerva i swap back into gligar and so on until it takes enough damage from burn but then at one point when it goes to attack glygar it decides to use giga impact hitting skarmory activating rocky helmet and together with the burn it's enough to just clean take it out this means that we still have to deal with metang and behem figuring that i'm most likely gonna need skarmy for begin i decide to swap out into margaery as the metang just boosts its speed with agility it then of course speeds and hits me with a meteor mash as i do manage to land the willow wisp getting the burn i then swap back in minerva as metang misses a meteor mash it then hits its meteor mash but i miss my steel wing in fact this run just loves hacks so the next turn i get flinched by a rock slide another meteor mash takes me down to just 66 hp as i go for another steel wing finally taking out the metang next is behem so i go for a steel wing since i know it can't take me out unless it gets a crit and i really need skarmory for the getz's fight but of course it gets the crit losing scormori in this way is actually massively detrimental in fact it drastically decreases our chances of being able to get through getsis at all however before we get to challenge gets this we have to take on white kirum and the trouble with this fight is that you have to fight gets this after this back to back so i had to devise a plan to get rid of this kirim as swiftly as possible and expert belt superpower from buckbeak was just enough to do that even though i got a critical hit here it didn't actually matter and with that it's time to take on the big bad getsys and i gotta say i had lots of fun planning for this fight but one thing you can never be sure of in nuzlocks is that things go according to plan however speaking of plans i go ahead and fly up high with buckbeak as i dodge a toxic hit a fly for just below half damage as i then gain the mummy ability and get poisoned now expecting the cuff agrigus to go for protect i decided to swap out into margaery which i do get to do for free since marge is faster than a cafe regis being a literal sarcophagus i can just take it out with a single shadow ball next up is electros and instead of just swapping out immediately i go for a stockpile boosting my defenses so that i can take this thunderbolt a lot better then expecting another one i go for the baton pass swapping out into the dark lord this means i both get a free switch and i have my defenses boosted which means that i can freely start to set up swords dances here as it goes for flamethrower the only thing that could really go wrong here is that the flamethrower gets the 10 chance to burn after getting to plus four though i get impatient and use an acrobatics which does a little bit less than half another acrobatics leaves it in the red which of course means that gets this is gonna use a full restore which gives me one free acrobatics and then since i'm faster i get to attack again taking it into the red as i get hit by another flamethrower one more acrobatics is then enough to take care of the electros as gatsas sends in his seismatod not wanting to be absolutely annihilated by a muddy water i decide to go for a u-turn which does a surprising amount of damage at plus4 as i swap into cho who tanks the muddy water well i can take it out with a surf but unfortunately that muddy water did lower my accuracy and it's exactly that that boils my plans as i miss a feather dance versus high dry gun and listen cho would have probably been a necessary sacrifice in this fight but going out like this without doing what it was supposed to do is devastating i then go ahead and send in marge but at this point pretty much all hope is lost i will say though that sending in marge was a huge misplay since i could have sent in crobat or a mulga which would have at least outspent and done something at this point my only hope is buckbeak surviving a lifewar boosted rock slide from high drygon but it misses oh my goodness this means the buckbeat gets to retaliate with an expert belt boosted superpower taking out the high dragon in one go but the fight isn't over yet we still have two more pokemon to deal with the first of which being toxic croak i get hit by a sucker punch as i then go for a fly and this time i don't end up missing a fly taking out the toxic croak which means we only have drapey on left and not wanting to be taken out i swap out into malfoy the night slash doesn't do a massive amount of damage so figuring we can take another one i go for an acrobatics which does over half as it then just goes for a night slash but i forget that sniper means that critical hits do more damage so while buckbeak managed to save the run by dodging that rock slide we did still end up losing our crowbat to a crit and skarmory to a crit and so even though we've lost what's probably the two most important team members on our squad we owe it to them to keep moving forward what are you gonna do well since our team is looking pretty sparse my first move is to go to the giant chasm and find myself a peliper which i named hagrid since i only have five team members i decide to try my luck in lost lorne forest as well but i find a male combi golden snitch more like son of a because i didn't get a female combi i decided to go on what ends up being a 40 minute hunt to find the final encounter i'm allowed to get in the game which happens to be mantine but before we fight the pokemon league we can go back to route 11 where we caught glygar and actually use waterfall to find a razor fang which means we can evolve it into gliscor and with that we've assembled some kind of viable team which means it's time to take on the final challenge the elite four gauntlet first up is chantal who probably received the biggest buff out of any elite four member in challenge mode all elite four members have items on every single pokemon and her scarf chandelor is definitely a sweep stopper she leads with cafe riga so i decide to send in buckbeak and immediately hit it with a shadow claw this does give me the mummy ability instead of defiant but she goes for psychic instead of willowisp for some reason so the next turn i can just take out coffrogrigas with another shadowclaw this baits in driftblim and expecting a thunderbolt here i send in he who must not be named and the worst conceivable thing driftblim could do to me here is probably go for shadowball so i decide to set up a swords dance to boost my attack it unfortunately gets the special defense drop but that doesn't really matter since i just want to take the driftblim out here which is going to bait out the chandelure not wanting to be outsped by the scarf and smoked by a fire blast i decided to swap out into neville the mantine to tank it the drawback for chantal of having that choice scarf is that she now can't swap out of fire blast which gives me a free opportunity to take her down into the red with a surf which means she's gonna go for a full restore but another serf is enough to take out the chandelor next up is banette and expecting it to go for a shadow claw i get a free swap out into buckbeak who of course is immune to it shadowclaw then does just shy of a ko as the banette misses a willowist meaning that we can go for another shadow claw taking it out finally we've got golurk and i don't know what to say about buckbeak he can't seem to land a ko taking the golurk down into the red as i have to eat a brick break but the next turn we can of course land the ko beating chantal the second elite four member i decide to face is caitlyn and her buffed up team is not that much worse than her original but she does have a zoom lens on her mousharno which means that she's going to be more likely to land those hypnoses and after i boost my attack with the sword stance that is exactly what she does putting me to sleep caitlyn then goes for dream eater and considering it does less than half damage i decide to stay in and see if i can fish for a first turn wake up i do actually end up getting it which means i can set up another free sword stance as she tries to go for another dream eater which of course fails now combine the fact that glyscor is a plus four which means it can one hit ko every single pokemon on caitlyn's team with the fact that it out speeds all of our pokemon and we've got a clean sweep on our hands it goes without saying if you got a team full of psychic types you don't mess with a guy they call the dark lord thirdly i decide to face marshall the fighting type elite poor trainer and considering i've specialized in flying types this run well you can kind of see where this is going i immediately decided to set up a sword stance against throw but you'll notice it's got rock tomb which is kind of a problem since that's gonna mean i can't out speed all this pokemon after setting up to plus six with sword stands after brainstorming and researching a bit while planning for the elite four i realized that i can pick up the tm for rock polish which means that we're going to be able to just boost our speed back and after a couple of rock polishes we've got above neutral speed which means we're also gonna out speed every single one of marshall's pokemon and considering that we've got plus six stab super effective acrobatics without holding an item this is the exact type of scenario that history textbooks would have called a bloodbath the only pokemon that really caused any trouble on marshall's team is sock because of its sturdy but since clyce core has epic defenses a rock slide doesn't really matter and we can just use another acrobatics sealing the win this means we have one more elite four member to face some would call him the dark lord of the pokemon world i would mostly just call him a creep it's grimsley he leads off with lie part as i send in glycor and this is the exact reason why gligar was the most important pokemon to spare while we were fighting getsis the truth is i was pretty confident that if we could get through chantal glyscor could just sweep through the rest of the elite four crocodile does hit us with the intimidate here but since we're still at plus one it doesn't matter and can we just talk about the fact that crocodile's face looks like a palkia as much as i love crocodile that's just one of those things you can't unsee regardless bisharp is grinsley's final pokemon and we take it out with a couple of x scissors which means we only have one final challenge left since we managed to get through the elite four without losing a pokemon we're going into the champion fight with a full team of six and we're gonna need it she leads off with her own high dragon but this time we've come better prepared with a buckbeak that outspeeds on a fighting gem superpower we can get this thing off the screen lickety-split this is gonna bait out agron and not wanting to switch any of my flying types into a head smash i decide to just go for a quad effective super power and even at minus one it gets it down into the red as i then dodge the head smash figuring iris is gonna go for one of our three full restores i decide to swap out into neville and since her agron has rockhead instead of sturdy we can just take it out with a single serve she then swaps into lapras which has thunder so i figure that's what it's going to go for so i swap out a neville into glyce score but it goes for sing and misses then expecting a blizzard i swap back in the neville which it misses as well so i go for a toxic here as i get hit by a thunder sacking neville but because mantine has epic special defense it actually survives another thunder is obvious here so i go back into the dark lord as i then swap out into hagrid to tank the blizzard which it doesn't take particularly well but that's alright since we're just trying to rack up some toxic damage here so i go back out into gleiscor as it goes for another thunder and at this point i figure we're probably fine to just go for a flying gem acrobatics taking out the lapras next up is life orb shear force drutagon so i hit it with an ice fang which does over half and outrage doesn't quite do half to me as i can take it out with another one iris's ace pokemon is focus sash haxorous and i cannot risk this thing setting up multiple dragon dances against me so i go for an ice fang as it sets up its first unfortunately this means hacksaws will out speed the next turn ending the reign of the death eaters since hacksaws is now locked into outrage i go ahead and swap in braviary who's at full health and it actually managed to survive in the red as i can pull off a brave bird taking it out i even survived the recoil damage on 3 hp as iris sends in her final pokemon archaeops a superpower manages to get it below half getting it into defeatist range as it takes out buckbeak which i guess means that this is the alternate timeline where both harry and buckbeak die but in the end hermione can come in outspeed the archeops and take it out with an ice gem boosted icebeam it certainly was a rough ride at times but that's how i beat a pokemon white 2 hardcore nuzlocke using only flying types guys let me know who you think was the mvp of this run and while you're down there let me know what your favorite harry potter book is personally i think it's gotta be the prisoner of azkaban but for now guys it's time to press the stop recording button whoops that was the wrong button here we go
