Pokémon X/Y Hardcore Nuzlocke - FIRE Type Pokémon Only! (No Items, No Overleveling)

how's it going everybody chaotic meatball here and welcome back to the channel so today i'm going to be completing my second ever hardcore nuzlocke in pokemon x and y using only fire type pokemon now i gotta preface this unlike the black 2 white 2 water type only challenge i did manage to lose this one shockingly enough twice to grant and wants to see bold but i'm not going to waste your time or make you sit through some failed attempts i want to show you the successful attempt and the strategies that worked the ones that were ballsy and the ones that lost me some pokemon but before we get into it i'd like to remind you guys to subscribe to the channel we're starting to close in on 100 000 subscribers and i really would love to hit that by the end of the year also i'd highly suggest going to follow me on twitter link in the description i've been making daily update posts about my pokemon soul silver pokewalker professor oaks challenge that i think you guys might find interesting but i'll be posting the first video of that series on tuesday so that those who don't have a twitter account don't have to worry about missing anything lastly but certainly most importantly this and every video i make are available at least one day early for patrons if you head over to my patreon page and pledge five dollars a month you can get access to all of my videos at least a day early an exclusive discord server role and a few other neat things as well link in the description i'm actually nearly halfway to hitting my goal so that i do a shiny only professor oak's challenge in pokemon let's go pikachu and eevee so make sure to head over there if you want to see me do one of the hardest challenges in a pokemon game anyway let's get into it so i name myself cha and of course when i go to pick my player nickname and starter i decide to make the group of them call me maxie due to the first letter of cha being c and haha yugioh joke moving on the only starter that i can choose here is fennekin eventually evolving into a fire psychic type and that should give me quite good coverage throughout the game so i'm excited to have this as a part of the team i also decided to go with the nickname theme of can i beat this pokemon in a fight and usually it's no because it's a bunch of fire types that are gonna burn me alive i just thought it'd be funny anyway my first rival battle goes extremely well against shauna as she has chespin and a few embers are able to put her down heading back home i tell my mother i'm going out for a bit and head out to route 2. there's actually an encounter i can get here and that's fletchling this will evolve into the super powerful fire flying talon flame and since this is gen 6 it's not nerfed just yet so hopefully i'll be able to show the power of this glass canon throughout the run a nicknamed it slashed because likelihood is i'd get slashed to death before the fire kicked in fun times santalune forest also has an encounter for me to grab that being pansier and this took a few minutes but i caught it and nicknamed it absolutely because this pokemon sucks and even through fire i'd want to beat the piss out of it the battles in the forest are also pretty easy since the majority of them have pokemon that are either weak to or neutral to fire type moves so getting out onto route 3 is a breeze there's nothing for me here but after entering santalune city i'm able to head east into route 22 in order to get a new encounter sadly i have to get through a trainer first and i don't think i'm exactly ready to do that just yet since only fennekin is currently leveled up to take them on so i used the gym trainers to switch train fledgling and pansier sadly though on the last trainer i accidentally leveled fennekin over the level cap meaning i won't be allowed to use it until i beat viola fortunately this isn't much of a problem after grinding both pants here and fletchling on route 3 for a bit i made sure not to do too much as to not be able to switch train my route 22 encounter but after beating that trainer i decided screw it i probably don't need any more than two pokemon for this fight will i get punished let's find out viola is a wee bit annoying at first seeing as she leads with cersket a water type pokemon but that's quickly taken out of commission by fletchling who doesn't yet have the weakness to water thanks to being normal flying for the first stage but it does have peck taking it out in two shots next out is vivilan and despite being fully evolved and able to set up harden and infestation i was able to hit it with three packs leading to a potion before the fourth and fifth luckily this put vivillon at low enough hp to wear quick attack with ko so i went for it ko'ing with only three hp remaining and getting my first badge guess i only needed one pokemon but as much as i say that x and y are extremely easy games nuzlockes are actually pretty difficult in this one so now that i've taken out viola i now have access to fennekin once again but i also have that pokemon over on route 22 to get that being lit leo four fire type pokemon so early on in the game is quite handy but there's only about 10 throughout the entire game so i'll have to be extremely careful as to not lose too many pokemon with that i'm able to take out the optional trainers on route 22 before heading towards route 4 grabbing the exp share in the process now this is a nice item for training but this adds a step of having to remember to turn it off before things start accidentally going over the level cap fortunately i didn't forget about it at all during this run since i had a large note on my screen saying not to forget about it otherwise i probably would have because i'm a dingus that problem doesn't really exist in this section though as the next level cap is 25 thanks to the extremely large gap between gyms one and two but that gap gets rapidly shortened between the rest of the gyms the trainers on route 4 didn't put up too much of a fight giving me a few levels a few moves and an evolution into fletchander before heading into lumio city now this place is certainly interesting as professor sycamore gives me a choice of kanto starter after beating him of course my only choice is charmander and this is particularly why i decided to play pokemon y version for this challenge i believe that this challenge would have been far too easy if i chose x because mega charizard x gains the partial dragon typing making it neutral to water and ice type attacks and giving me a super easy out to see bold in the pokemon league however i didn't want to ban mega evolution in its entirety so i decided on a middle ground play y version in order to get mega charizard y who is still fire flying but also has drought meaning i can do some cool sun shenanigans with my all fire type team charmander is also the last encounter i'm going to be getting for a few badges so i'm going to need to keep my eyes sharp for trainers that can be avoided if they have too tough a pokemon moving on to route 5 none of the trainers really gave me any hassle however i did decide to evolve panseer into simasir with a firestone that i had gotten from the stone emporium in lumio city which will make life a little bit easier since now i have a fully evolved pokemon now that i'm in camp for your town the pokeflute quest really isn't that difficult none of the trainers gave me much of a hassle and i made sure to diversify my leveling as much as possible as to keep on track and not let anything get too close to the level cap see the next gym leader is grant and he's got rock types those being the tu kalos fossil pokemon in amara and tyront these two are extremely powerful and i need to make sure that my pokemon can stand up to them and that i have nothing that is inhibited from battling thanks to the level cap and accidentally going over since i'm basically guaranteed to lose something here like i did in my previous three attempts while completing the quest though charmander evolved in charmeleon which should help a decent bit in terms of power the parfum palace also houses the amulet coin which should give me plenty of money for healing items repels and collecting tms throughout the entire playthrough as there's a few that will definitely help me out in the long run after getting the pokeflute and battling snorlax i'm able to make my way into western route 7. taking out a decent number of trainers before having a multi-battle against trevor and tierno tierno has a core fish which is a little threatening but serena is able to help me double target it chaoing it before it could even become a problem cleaning up the battle from there now for the connecting cave and there's something that's super nice in here that being the tm for aerial ace downside i can't get it until i have access to strength outside of battle so i'll have to wait for a bit oh well after emerging on upper route 8 i am able to take out the trainers without too much of a fight eventually getting into ambretown sadly i have to do the side quest towards route 9 and in the glittering cave to go further so i take out team flare for the first time getting my choice of fossil while the choice doesn't matter since neither of these are a fire type there is an in-game trade i'm thinking that does indeed evolve into a fire type so i revived tyront for it and put it into the box in case that time comes i tried seeing if that time was now by going into the ambrett hotel but the person who randomly comes in is not here today so i'll have to wait actually i guess i may as well spoil it for you since we have a little bit of a lull in the run i was planning on using tyront for an in-game trade for an eevee so that it could evolve it into flareon this reason being is that i can get an additional counter on route 10 since normally it has both evie and houndour but by eliminating the potential of eevee through dupes claws i could theoretically just capture houndour and have those 10 encounters instead of 9 that i would get if i only found eevee sadly this doesn't end up working out here oh well but at least i'm now in selage city gaining access to the bicycle the hm for strength just not outside of battle yet and the second gym but i'm gonna be ignoring all of those for now since it's route 10 time i defeated all the trainers up through geocenge town before going for the second gym basically i wanted to try to see if there was a way to get to grant without encountering a single trainer there is a way but of course i'm an idiot who ran into a hiker with a single rock n roller that almost destroyed half my team if it weren't for simisear's handy yawn which has been very repeatedly useful of getting me out of rough situations throughout this run after that near fatal mistake i healed up and decided to go get my route tenant counter and i was hoping that i would just get houndour first and be able to avoid getting eevee as it's a very rare encounter compared to houndour's average status in yellow flowers but of course me being lucky in pokemon games exclusively backfires here giving me eevee well i guess hound hour wouldn't have been that useful but dark type moves definitely would have come up against a gym leader like olympia either way i went ahead and edged up my pokemon extremely close to level 26 so as to not go over the level cap and went into the gym battle i was pretty stressed out since i didn't want to lose yet another attempt to grant but man did this battle make me come close grant leads with amora so i go for simicer immediately using yawn and taking a rock tomb for over half fortunately i had grabbed a citrus berry earlier in the run which i gave the sims here for this exact reason letting me hit and incinerate before taking a thunder wave making amora go to sleep and giving me a clean swap over to charmeleon i hit it with a combo of ember and dragon rage taking it out without any losses and leading into tyront this one's even more of a threat so i went for smokescreen twice before getting nailed with a rock tomb nearly ko'ing charmeleon but i made sure a berry juice was my held item here just in case that it could take another attack it can't so i swapped into breaks in here getting a miss on rock tomb before going for scyvee getting the confusion off on the first hit as he misses again with wrong tomb so i go for a second and since tyrunts in the red it accidentally chaos itself with confusion damage winning me the fight you do not realize how tense i was during that entire battle and let me tell you that confusion luck was definitely a nice save as two smoke screens was likely not going to be enough to save my whole team otherwise but i've got the second badge that's all that matters now route 10 is filled with team flare grunts hence why i cleared out every trainer before this would happen letting me move on to geocenge town and encounter karina she has two lucarios which aren't too hard to deal with thanks to having in an entourage of fire types but man i really do wish she would just give me the gym badge here since this battle is a whole lot easier than her gym battle rat 11 doesn't have anything annoying but reflection cave sure does there's a relatively strong few pokemon in here such as a battlegirl with a throw in hot lucha and an ace trainer with an absol in pincer but fortunately with a previous failed attempt under my belt that i got to this point i managed to remember how to sneak around and hear getting to shallower city without too much difficulty i figured i should train my pokemon to level 31 seeing as all the trainers inside of the shallow gym are required as well as a rival battle in the tower of mastery so i decided to do so east on route 12 depositing pokemon as they hit level 31 so that the exp share would continue working and that i wouldn't have to waste extra time this strategy went perfectly getting them all to level 31 before getting into the tower of mastery for a rival battle serena leads with a meow stick so i go for breaks in to get a resistance on her but now in hindsight i forgot that only dell fox is part psychic oh well she goes for fake out flinching me with very light damage as she sets up light screen next turn meaning ember is doing next to nothing here but next turn i get a critical as psi beam does about a third of breaking's hp so i go for light sorry next turn as she uses disarming voice for a grand total of 5 damage this gives me a good opening to also go for lucky chant to prevent criticals and disarming voice does 2 damage this turn this gives me a really good turn to swap over into simus here as that turned light screen also goes out meaning that incinerate can clean up but i miss the range as she gets off another light disarming voice unfortunately that does reduce the clock on my light screen as frogadier comes out but i'm able to use yawn right away as it goes for quick attack barely doing any damage so i just follow up with the return afterwards taking a water pulse for about half damage before it went to sleep giving me the perfect time to hit it with a second return taking it out and leading to absol i went for yawn on it as well taking a massive bite that takes simisear down to 18 hp so i think swapping the flareon for bulk is the smartest thing to do here but of course he gets a critical and does a ton of damage but not enough to ko so flareon's able to get in a massive return for a near ko and since i've got quick attack that's all flareon needs to close this battle winning without any losses pretty nice that i've gotten this far without any losses as none of the previous three attempts have managed to get this far without at least one with serena taken down though karina returns to her gym and it's time to take her down as well i just realized though i can go ahead and use strength outside of battle now meaning i can go get aerial ace a perfect out to karina's pokemon so i teach it to charmeleon as to not just rely on fletchinder and breaks in which lets me clear out all four trainers edging my pokemon to right before level 33 before taking iran she leads with mien fu immediately going for the fake out for 12 damage before i could go for yawn getting off a power-up punch in the process i decided to swap for fletch endure to resist the second one making miyan fu fall asleep to yawn as they started setting up sword stance i managed to get two off before going for aerial lace one shotting and leading to machoke this also goes down in one area lace leaving just hallucia who i'm able to complete the hat trick with one shotting after she out speeds and uses honeyclaws wasting her only available turn good stuff i can always appreciate a good fast clean sweep now it's time for the mega evolution ceremony which hilariously enough if karina crits my own lucario that i'm forced into using during this battle meaning i just instantly lose well i guess this pokemon's dead before i even own it before leaving though i grabbed the tm for low sweep depositing lucario and moving on my merry way towards kumarine city there's a gift lapras on route 12 which i made sure to grab so that i could exclusively use it for surfing avoiding every trainer i could since kumerine's gym leader is a grass-type leader and i definitely don't need extra levels for him but i might need some for the rival battle that's right before his gym i also made sure to grab some incenses while i was here so that i could have some generically good held items as well as a cherry berry on the stand next to it that might be helpful if stun spore comes into play but we'll see after taking the tram to the other side of the city i'm also able to get the metronome a held item that increases the power of moves on repeated uses sort of like how fury cutter works so this will definitely be useful in fights where i just have to click the same move over and over again but now it's time for the rival battle serena once again leads with meowstek so i go for breaks in again going for light screen as she goes for fake out so we set up each light screen on the same turn as she goes for cybing next turn but i go for lucky chance since i'm gonna be setting up i went for simisear and nailed it with a thief and yawn before swapping back for breaks in to set up both light screen and lucky chant again swapping for flareon so that i'd be able to chao with bite but i do take a light cya beam for my troubles but hey that's alright lots of swapping here but now it's time for frogadier it leads off with water pulse on my last turn of light screen and of course it confuses screwing me over royally since it did around half of the screen reduced damage so i swapped for simicer taking a quick attack which means i have plenty enough hp to use return and for some reason though he just goes for another quick attack letting me hit a second to take it out and lead to absol well that was a bit weird but much appreciated since this absolutely hard enough to take down hard enough in fact that after using yawn it uses bite and gets a crit leaving simesir with six hp that was extremely close but i'm able to swap for charmeleon taking a quick attack and firing off a flame burst after it falls asleep taking it out with a second and winning the battle alright almost four badges in and no deaths we are rolling swimmingly with that though i took out the gym trainers and went into the fight with ramos and i'm not gonna sugarcoat this this was the easiest battle in the run so far i let off with fletchender and went for a single sword stance took a massive acrobatics but it didn't matter as fletchender managed to use fly on all three of his pokemon taking out jumpluff gogoat and weepinbell winning me the battle and evolving fletchender into talonflame now we've got some real firepower pun entirely intended [Music] so yeah i guess i forgot to mention that i had simisear deposited during that entire gym since it accidentally went over the level cap not that it really mattered since i still easily swept through the entirety of it but we don't have much wiggle room between now and clemont as the level cap only increases from 34 to 37. to be fair the only area between now and the lumios city gym leader is the badlands down in route 13 which actually houses our first new encounter in quite a while that being slugma for rock smash this took quite a bit of time to find but hey at least i got it instead of flubbing it like i did in my last attempt so oddly enough the kalos power plant is a little bit threatening because of team flare mostly because of the admin in the back eliana has a mighty anna that is level 38 whereas the level cap for this part of the game is 37 but she only has one pokemon didn't expect an admin to have a higher level than the next gym leader i guess that's cool but i managed to evolve charmeleon into charizard as well as breaks in into del fox and litlio into pyroar before that fight using mega charizard to take it down without the worry of being under leveled of course that means i have another pokemon weak to the next gym leader but i should be decently okay i mean seriously look at the move sets of these pokemon five badges in and they still don't have complete movesets i'm having war flashbacks over a molga but aside from that this team doesn't look like it'll give me that much trouble well aside from this magneton having post gen 5 sturdy making my way into the gym i fought the minimum amount of trainers required since electric types are a bit irritating thanks to both talonflame and charizard being weak to them but i managed to get through them relatively easily putting my confidence up and urged to move on with the game at a high point since i didn't even edge my team up to just before level 38 going into the fight with clemont immediately he leads with a mulga so i went for here using yawn expecting the volt switch but in case it didn't i made sure to replace return before going in with protect so that in case the ai was smart enough to use volt switch on the turn after yawn i could force it to go to sleep both turns though it used aerially so i just use rock tomb for over half lowering its speed and chaoing with a second leading to magmaton i went for incinerate but sadly it got a crit with thunderbolt koiing my simisear and putting me down a pokemon well good thing i just got slugman i guess i went into dell fox burning through his hyper potions as he kept surviving on sturdy eventually taking out with mystical fire and leaving just heliulisk two scishox is plenty enough to take it down winning me the fight but i'm kind of sad that my only pokemon that could put stuff to sleep is gone now simisear came in clutch despite being my least favorite pokemon ever designed before heading onward though i was dragged over into the lysander cafe but i got a king's rock in return so i guess that's good moving on to route 14 and holy moly can we stop the constant rival battles it's starting to get kind of ridiculous at how often these are coming up she still has three pokemons so i still don't see the need of fighting her for a third time with the same team she leads with the same meow stick so i go for dell fox finally having the resistance as she goes for light screen so i go for one of my own as i use mystical fire twice lowering her special attack twice before going for psyshock then using two more mystical fires to take it out leading to absol i had a feeling that this would be next so i swamped for talent flame seeing a sword stance so i went for fly missing the ko and taking an absolutely massive bite that puts talonflame to 9 hp but it burns absol having its attack and putting it essentially back to neutral so i swap into flareon expecting the burn to ko it but it doesn't so i just go for quick attack to finish it off leaving just greninja this thing only has water shuriken and quick attack so i was pretty confident at this hp surviving a two-hit water shuriken to fire off a return for around half but now i get to see who can survive too i swapped del fox in on a quick attack going for mystical fire next turn but for some reason again he goes for quick attack leaving me with just enough hp to survive a three-hit water shuriken chaoing with mystical fire and winning me the battle well i suppose these are starting to get closer and closer now that absol has sword stance and greninja as a fully evolved pokemon but jeez give me a break fortunately route 14 is the only area i have to go through to get to leverage city the home of the sixth gym leader she uses fairy type pokemon so i'm already at a decent advantage thanks to my fire types resisting those attacks so i just took out the trainers on route 14 and did the leverage city gym as well as a ton of wild pokemon in route 14 getting to the cusp of level 43 before taking on valerie she leads with mawwhile so of course it goes down with a single flamethrower from dell fox leading to her a sylveon i went for light screen as she went for swift going for flamethrower next turn and burning as she went for charm which does absolutely nothing to del fox as a second flamethrower plus the burn ko is sylveon and leaves just mr mine it tries setting up the light screen after the first flamethrower but it did so much that the second ko'd it through the screen winning me the fairy badge in extremely quick fashion well that was a bit anticlimactic let's see if the multi-battle against team flare celosia and briony in the pokeball factory changes anything up they lead with lipard and monectric and the latter could be a problem for me since i led with charizard so imega evolved but i figured it should be fine to take out lyperd first sure enough it was both went down extremely fast and i won without even needing charizard to be at full hp i guess they didn't change anything after all but now that i'm finished up with the pokeball factory i'm able to head out onto route 15 and while it doesn't have any new encounters we are coming up on a new one right between the connection of route 15 and route 16 is the lost hotel and there's litwick here however this isn't the only encounter i can get here since it's a tuesday while i'm playing i decided to go after the best pokemon to check my water type weakness heat rotom yes that's right a fire electric type that can zap water types into next week while chandelure is a very alluring pokemon and is very good i think the electric typing is just going to be way too good for seabolt and being this far into the run again i don't want to lose it again and i think that this will be my key to success since on my third attempt i used chandelure and lost a siebeled so this is probably going to be the way that i take him out i forgot to record the actual capture but at least i didn't forget any important battles and that is the most important thing i'm dealing with here i also made sure to pick up ten calciums and three carboses from the pokemon center in leverage city so that i could have a decent head start on good evs for rotom since we've got a relatively large stretch of trainers coming up then to mill town has me sent off on a small side quest towards the frost cavern where i need to rescue and a boma snow from team flare there's a few close calls with some of the trainers in here but since these ice puzzles are pretty easily cheesed with diagonal movement i'm able to get to the back challenging mabel to a quick fight where i mop the floor with her hound doom thanks to my flareon with the flash fire ability sending the team packing and letting me move on to route 17. it's sort of like route 9 where i have to ride a pokemon to get through it meaning there's not very many trainers so the path to anastar city is a pretty quick one there's a very important tm i need to get here and that's the tm for flamethrower in the pokemon center between the hours of 11am and 5 59pm i can get this from the hex maniac and while there are some other good tms here like double team and substitute i don't think i'll be needing those especially since the first one just cheeses the rest of the run sadly though there's yet another dang rival battle in front of the anastar city gym but at least she has a new pokemon on her team she leads with meowstic so i once again lead with dell fox against her taking the fake out and going for light screen next turn unfortunately though she has shadow ball now meaning this strategy doesn't exactly work well anymore i swapped for pyroar predicting a second one being rewarded and getting off two crunches to ko through an extremely light disarming voice leading to greninja i'm at full hp so i figured i'd go for strength which paid off seeing as missing with water shuriken means i could just do the same next turn tanking a two hit water shuriken with two thirds hp remaining apparently not finishing off greninja but i just went for flamethrower going first and finishing it off leaving her with absol and flareon she goes for the former so i go for flamethrower once again doing over half and burning at the same time as she sets up sword stance effectively making her waste a turn to get her attack stat back to normal making her have to go for quick attack or else she would just lose absol and get no damage off whatsoever this just leaves flareon and since my team is all fire types lava plume isn't threatening at all i'm able to just use one crunch and one strength before getting a little too close for comfort in terms of hp so i just swapped for my own flareon taking hers out with quick attack to seal the deal not bad this just leaves the anastar city gym leader so i went ahead and took out all of her gym trainers as well as any trainers i may have missed between the 6th and 7th gyms and unfortunately once again since i'm bad at math and decided to take on a sky trainer charizard accidentally went up to level in 49 meaning he's out of the running until i beat olympia that's fine i just edged up the rest of my party to write before level 49 and actually now that i think about it i completely forgot to mention the fact that slugma is dead too it accidentally got ko'd when i tried training it in place of simisear after it went down after the fifth gem so in case you were thinking that i should just add it to the team that's why anyway olympia time she leads with sigilyph so i went for dell fox since she doesn't have any shadow ball or anything to screw over my strategy i just went for light screen then went for mystical fire once to lower its special attack then swap for talonflame using sword stance twice before using roost and a third storage stance as well as another roost to stall out the time on her dual screens chaoing with flame charge since i want that extra speed just in case second out is slow king pretty good coverage against me but fly is able to one shot leading to the reflect wearing off and leading just her meowstic she uses fake out of course but gets punished because of flame body burning meowstic as they go in for the chao with fly winning the battle and the seventh gym badge without any losses in the battle alright i'm feeling pretty confident but what lies ahead is a pretty difficult part of the game so i'm gonna have to be careful and expect to lose maybe one or two pokemon so now that we're done with that lysander calls us up and decides to tell me that he's gonna attempt to take over the world i don't know why i guess he's bored this means we've got a number of boss fights to take care of so let's get them done in rapid fire style lysander's immediately at the beginning of his labs and yeah no i'm not gonna fight him until i'm a high enough level for this i immediately turned around before trying to fight him in order to grind up to level 52 since his gyarados has both aqua tail and earthquake two things that can rip through my team if i'm not careful the level cap is level 59 for this section so i'm not too worried i could stand to go up one more level but i'd rather not cut it too close being at level 52 and having drought with mega charizard y should be good enough for this he leads off with mienfoo and of course i lead with charizard i may evolve and go for flamethrowers since i don't need super effective damage to take this out kaoing and leading to gyarados i went for flamethrower instead of fly here since my special attack is a bit better than physical especially after intimidate and i'm lucky enough to where he misses with aqua tail so i do it again he lands the second aqua tail doing a little under half as i chao with the third flame thrower leaving just murkrow and pyro he goes for the former so i just blasted with flamethrower then leaving just pyroar i'm at about half health still so i go for fly doing around a third of his hp but he damages me to the point where i can't survive another attack so i swap flareon into a hypervoice taking around 50 damage before taking a second and landing a return for the victory alright well that's reassuring the leveling did indeed pay off here the team flare admins are all bosses in here you know the ones aliana celosia briony and mabel but none of them have more than two pokemon and are all very simple to take down so they're nothing more than light fodder for our second boss battle zorosic he also has two pokemon but since this is first appearance i figured i'd let him keep some of his dignity and show this fight he leads with crobat so i immediately start off with rotom but he outspeeds and lands a light cross poison before i fire back with thunderbolt chaoing and leading to malamar this thing's pretty powerful and i don't think rotom can stand up to it but i attempt to go for substitute first but it breaks through with payback so i swap into flareon taking a payback for less than a third of my hp so i go for return doing a little over half but this now also doubles payback's power thankfully it still doesn't do enough to koflarion leaving flareon to ko the next turn with return winning the fight a little too close for comfort for only two pokemon but now that this battle's over i take the blue pill which makes me go to and into the team flare secret headquarters where lysander wants to fight me again to delay me from stopping the ultimate weapon okay well at least he's not too much harder here though his mienfu and murkrow have evolved so at least that's a thing speaking of which he leads with said myan xiao so i start with charizard yet again mega evolving and going for fly koi in one shot next turn and leading into gyarados once again i'm level 54 now so it should basically go the same way so i go for flamethrower doing a wee bit under half as aqua tail gets a range that unfortunately does over half to charizard so i swap for row tops it can barely hang on from an aqua tail but it doesn't matter as it misses and iko next term with thunderbolt leading to pyroar i want to make sure to save rotom for haunch trope so i swap out for flareon tanking a hypervoice and firing back a return after taking a second one we do the same thing next turn the third hypervoice hits while flareon survives on 30 hp before finishing it off with return leaving just honchro this thing really doesn't scare me much so i swap into rotom taking a night slash for 39 damage before out speeding next turn and landing thunderbolt for the one shot and the win alright three bosses down one to go serena joins me down the hallway for a few multi-battles which sometimes get a little too close for comfort but once i got into the basement it was pretty easy pickings from here the nameless admins are jokes and the encounter with the veltol is pretty easily reduced down to a single master ball being thrown at it so i could throw it into the pc immediately this in turn makes lysander very angry so he becomes doctor octopus from spider-man 2. so that makes me want to say pizza time but instead it's battle time since i can't change my lead pokemon i made sure to put talonflame up front before the evoltol fight and went in he for the third time leads with mienchao so i go for swords dance doing it twice as he uses high jump kick and acrobatics then i in turn fire off three flies to ko mienchao pyroar and hancrow leaving just gyarados he mega evolves but i still out speed nailing fly just shy for the kl which means talonflame's going down here to aqua tail it could have missed but this was pretty calculated i can just go straight into flareon and use quick attack to finish off gyarados winning me the fight it's a shame that i wasn't able to keep talonflame throughout the entire run as i'm sure it would have been useful in the league but for as good of a pokemon as it is i already have an amazing fire flying type in mega charizard y and my sweeper has been able to shift over to del fox so i'm not super hurt over this with the story event all done and over with it's about time we go get that last badge luckily it'll be a breeze since it's an ice type leader and i'm ready to melt him into a water type leader by the end of it one that i won't have to fight because lord knows if there was a water type leader in this game before i got rotom i would lose so i made my way through route 18 making the same mistake i always do in x and y by thinking do i have to go into terminus cave to get to the bottom to progress without seeing the staircase i almost lose my entire team to a worker with a few gravelers in the golem and make it into keraway town without at least a panic attack this was not fun but what was actually fun was the battle against professor sycamore he challenges me to a battle right here with the fully evolved kanto starters and he's not too hard but not too easy either he leads with venusaur so i go for charizard mega evolving and using flamethrower to take it out quickly leading to blastoise i just use flamethrower for a little over half and for some reason he decides to go for skull bash so that just gives me free reign to ko with a second flamethrower without taking any damage leading to his own charizard unfortunately the mirror match here is not very fair as two flamethrowers of my own is plenty enough to do him in and his flamethrower is so pitiful that my charizard doesn't even budge better luck next time sycamore maybe save the mega stones that you gave away to us children for yourself before leaving the town though i can actually get the charcoal from the house south of the bridge here by answering a few questions about my initial starter choice correctly and having an item that boosts the power of fire type moves in a fire type challenge is always appreciated there's nothing much to say about route 19 until i get to the bridge and man this place is a run killer if you're not careful there are three back-to-back rival battles here against shauna tierno and trevor and they're all packing some pretty tough pokemon so let's see if i can get the job done without losing any of my own shauna leads with del caddy so i go for del fox setting up calm mind and using it three times and taking a faint attack and two charms for some reason chaoing with psychic and leading to gudra this also goes down to psychic meaning that chestnut's about to get roasted with flamethrower which it does eventually after using spiky shield for protecting itself for a turn one down two to go next up is tierno and he has an actual solid team now he leads with talonflame as i go for del fox and since i'm not able to change my lead pokemon or heal between fights i just went for calm mind to set up again using two of them and taking two acrobatics in the process this brings del fox down to 19 hp so i gotta get out of here since talonflame is faster i swapped into rotom taking in acrobatics for a minuscule amount of damage before firing off a thunderbolt next turn taking it out and leading to crawdon i was hoping he'd do that as thunderbolts easily able to roast him through scaling and leaving just his roserade i'm also just gonna say now look at that beautiful move set for roserade boy howdy that's a pretty diverse pool of moves there did you decide on that yourself yeah i hope it burns in hell last battle here and it's against trevor and fortunately he's an idiot and likes a fair fight so he heals my pokemon before the battle he leads with raichu and this is perfect fodder for me to set up calm mind again i do so with two of them before firing off psychic eventually i did end up getting paralyzed from nuzzle but now that aerodactyl's out i need to swap since there's no way dolfox is being able to do anything else in this fight ancient power is pretty difficult to deal with but aside from that it's not too too bad so i went into flareon going for lava plume for about a fourth of this hp before getting confused with super sonic taking a skydrop next turn as i go for lava plume once more i'm still confused and at pretty low health so i swamp for pyroar which of course gets hit with skydrop for a minuscule amount of damage but next turn i'm able to get off a flamethrower but it's not able to k out letting him confuse me once again with super sonic nice accuracy there buddy ancient power does a ton of damage next turn forcing me to spot for rotom since it's the last thing on my team not four times weak to rock and sure enough it takes an ancient power extremely well dodging a super sonic next turn to finish it off with thunderbolt leaving just floor jazz the thing can't really do anything to rotom so i just stayed in firing off substitute on the turn i expected misty terrain then just started using thunderbolt eventually chaoing with four of them winning me the fight the substitute actually did end up helping me there since it held up through two attacks rather than one and was really helpful in making sure i had enough hp to stay alive through the rest of the moon blasts i'm given hm05 waterfall in return for beating all three of them which means we gotta go to get that gym badge that lets me use it outside of battle wolfrack's gym is easy enough to take care of thanks to all of the ice types and after edging all of my pokemon just shy of level 60 it's time to take him down actually i guess there is something i should mention before this fight i realized that heat rotom has been unable to learn overheat and that's because of the fact that it has to do the form change in order to learn it i honestly thought that this was locked behind post game since if i hadn't known it wasn't i would have not spent three hours in the lost hotel attempting to soft reset for one and just grabbed the regular one so i changed its form and then went back into the microwave so that it could finally have overheat it's unfortunate that the only fire type attack that rotom can get is actively detrimental to the rest of rotom's game plan but hey it's good in a pinch i suppose anyway it's wolf rick time and he leads with a boma snow and i lead with charizard which means i'm not even gonna let you guys have any suspense here i make evolved and ko'd obama snow triagonal and avalog all with flamethrower winning me the match in quick fashion this isn't the fight you want you want the league battles so let's get there quicker but first we've got one more rival battle to take care of against serena and this time she is not holding anything back too bad i'm not either in fact i went so far as to go back to route 12 to grab the leftovers before this fight because i've got a nasty plan for her i've also replaced light screen with protect on dell fox and i'm sure you're starting to see where this is going she leads with meowstic so of course it goes for fake out leftovers heals all that damage as i set up calm mind after calm mind getting five of them up before going for flamethrower one shotting and leading to greninja it attacks with dark pulse a terrible choice since my plus 5 special defense is defending against it barely doing anything as i chao with flamethrower leading to absol del fox out speeds nails flamethrower kos leads to flareon so i go for protect here instead to get some more hp back before firing off psychic for the ko leaving just alteria to also go down to psychic yeah i wasn't kidding about that fight being nasty the fact that meowstick has nothing in terms of physical moves outside of fake out made that completely detrimental to her team too bad even the late game trainers don't have good enough ai to switch when they see massive setups happening in front of their face after that all that's left is a few trainers and the pokemon league now i do need to talk about some preparations i made first of all i made sure to go back to route 18 as torquel is available there as my last remaining encounter this gives me a full team of six to work with for the league and having a tank is definitely going to be useful if things start getting dicey secondly after grinding i made sure to get 6 reset bags from super training using them on all of my pokemon then evie training them from the ground up since there's no way i'm losing this run again at this point i also updated their move sets and here is what they're looking like now i've got dell fox with the leftovers with the same moveset as before protect calm mind psychic and flamethrower the stall tactics with protect and leftovers as well as the setup potential is just too good to change and i expect this to be my main strategy on everyone except seabold secondly my sibled insurance roads on with the zap plate which i did end up giving it after i recorded the footage for this team recap don't worry it's on substitute thunder wave discharge and overheat i went discharge over thunderbolt for the increased chance of paralysis and after doing damage calculations on seabolt's pokemon it does do enough damage to ko all four of them so there's no reason have thunderbolt though i still have the tm for it if necessary third up is the tank torquel with amnesia fire blast lava plume and iron defense i expect this to come up against someone like wickstrom or malva just wall up as the attacks do next to nothing and just continue to use lava plume or fire blast but this is in case del fox doesn't end up working out essentially that's what the rest of this team is for in case del fox accidentally goes down pyroar's on dark pulse flamethrower round and attract unfortunately a track isn't really helpful when three out of the five members of the league are using a ton of female pokemon with the exception of diantha since it's using both of the fossil pokemon and their males and the rest are just good special moves of different types fifth is charizard holding the charizard y with flamethrower air solar beam and roost figured i'd delete fly off of it with the move deleter and use the dead carcass a talonflame to go back to the pokemon league just for the ideal moveset solar beam is also broken against siebold if something goes wrong with rotom but i did try this strategy before and it fell before starmie and screwed up my entire team on my third attempt of this run so i'm hoping i don't have to resort to this and finally flareon with the charcoal with return flare blitz quick attack and firefang it's a physical attacker sadly doesn't get enough good physical fire moves but this will do the job leave a comment down below if you think i can finish this run off let's go for it malva starts with pyroar so i go for dell fox going for calm mine strats but pyro has noble roar which lowers the attack and special attack of delphox it stays on this but eventually shifts into wild charge for enough turns to where calm mind finally managed to stick eventually getting me plus 3 special attack before going for psychic koi'ing and leading to torkol it's a tank but psychic is still able to ko through that leaving just chandelure and talonflame she goes for the former but that ghost type won't be helping her here as it goes down to a single psychic as does talonflame but it does manage to outspeed and nail a critical brave bird fortunately i made sure that calculation was taken into account with del fox surviving and cleaning up the battle from there one down four to go save hold a second on my list and starts with clawwitzer so i go for rotom and since i did the calcs for these i know rotom outspeeds and chaos all four of his pokemon with one discharge each taking out klawitzer gyarados barbarical and starmie that was quick and i'm sure wickstrom will go the same way because he's a steel type user he leads with klefki which is annoying because it has torment but thankfully i have enough uses of protect to shift between that in calm mind setting up five of them and taking it out with flamethrower leading to probopass now normally this would be a problem but every one of probopass's moves are special so i went for psychic taking it into the red as he heals with a full restore then getting off flamethrower next turn getting the burn to take it down through sturdy and lead into scizor but since i'm still under torment i went for protect then back into flamethrower to ko leaving just asia slash now i'm also predicting a king's shield here so i go for protect since i'm also still under torment ko and next term with flamethrower despite it still being the shield form alright that was a great quick fight now let's see if i can pull it off with drasna if i'm going into the champion with six pokemon i'm not afraid to start sacking if things go awry so we're getting extremely close here i just need to make sure to get through drazna first she leads with dragulge which unfortunately for her as all special moves and since it sees the super effective surf i can keep it off of trying to poison or paralyze delphox with sludge bomb or thunderbolt respectively letting me set up five calm minds before koining trigarge with psychic alteria with psychic neuvern with psychic and drudken also with psychic yeah i'm starting to think i'm probably safe from here on out last up is the champion let's see if i can finish off the run with a full team as an added challenge diantha leads with hal lucha which is a bit fearful to me at least as it has sword stance but for some reason it immediately jumps into using x scissor so i just set up two call mines before it starts going for poison jab this is a bit worrying so i only use two more using protect to get a bit more hp back and one shot with flamethrower next turn second on the dock it is room and thankfully i can evade its quad resistance to fire with psychic one shotting and leading to gorgeized it's a one shot with flamethrower shocking am i right half her team left and she chooses gudra fourth going down to psychic with auroras coming out fifth and going down to flamethrower last out is gardavor and despite her mega evolution flamethrower is able to ko her without an attack even connecting winning me the fight and the run now i would say that this run is over but technically we still have the az fight before the credits rolls which is supposed to be an easy fight after the champion but hilariously enough i lost del fox to him on accident due to me being an idiot and clicking protect when he went for the first turn of phantom force kinda sad to see this mvp of the run fall to such a dumb mistake but i'm able to clean up the rest of the fight with mega charizard now it's over finally this run that's been one month in the making is over and i couldn't be happier it was definitely hard grant gave me way more grief than it should have and my errate mistake in the third run against seabold with charizard and basically my entire team falling afterwards wasn't exactly good either since i didn't reset my eevees or do calculations for it since i'm genuinely someone who doesn't really want to have to do that but hey i guess this run taught me to make sure to do my calculations before losing a run to the elite 4.
