Pokemon White Hardcore Nuzlocke With ONLY Normal Types How I Intended it...

pokemon white hardcore nuzlocke with only normal tight pokemon can we do it let's find out to quickly go over the rules for this pokemon challenge video for the regular nuzlocke rules we can only catch the first pokemon we see in each area or in this case the first normal type pokemon we see in each area and if a pokemon faints it can't be used in battle again for the hardcore add-ons we can't heal in battle we have to adhere to a level cap of whatever the next gym leader's highest level pokemon is and we must play on set battle style this monotype hardcore challenge seems a bit easier than the previous one we did on pokemon black 2 with only poison types but harder than some of the color based hardcore challenges we did both of which will be linked in a playlist in the description if you want to go check out my other hardcore nuzlockes this run was also streamed live on my twitch so you should follow me over there if you want to see these live which is also linked below to showcase some of the pokemon we can use in this run there's lillipup patrat bouffalon sawzbuck and braviary which is a white version exclusive just to name a few there's actually a quite a decent selection of pokemon here more than enough for a full team and some reserves we also ran a poll on our youtube community tab to figure out what we should replace our starter with and v2 1 which will give us a bit of an advantage since you can't normally obtain b doof in this game and beetu frilly isn't that bad now let's start up pokemon white and hammer away at it with only normal tight pokemon starting off i pick the girl character for a change and name our character pokey pick the b doof as our starter of course and lay waste to our two rivals pokemon being a snivy and atepig i then named beeduv god since that's what chat wanted and we continue this nickname trend of gods and mythical creatures and all that by naming our lilipub okami and then using god for the first end fight on the following round we find a pat-rat which we caught in chat wanted me to just name rat zodiac since we didn't know what the name of the rat on the chinese zodiac was and we wanted to go with a zodiac theme possibly at this point but once in starvation 10 we have another rival battle against charon the level cap is level 14 and jiren's pokemon are only level 8 so this goes by very smoothly and then we have to go and fight silence since technically our b doof replaced oshawa i was a bit scared for his motley crew of pokemon going for a workup and i didn't really have much of a plan going into this fight other than going for some leers here and there with okami since it has a higher attack set than b duff we're able to take out his lead lillipup by only taking 10 damage and then he sends out his a's pokemon pan sage i decide to go for lear first here and then tackle as he works up twice and unfortunately tackle does just under half damage i go for lear again thinking the next tackle should definitely knock it out and bypass his potion but instead he goes for vine whip and knocks out lillipup i really didn't think this would kill i probably should have had my damage up for this but i didn't even do any damage galax at this point yet and losing one of the best pokemon we can obtain this early on really stinks but we can at least send out god which hits pansage to 1 hp then gets knocked down to only 3 hp itself before able to knock it out giving us our very first gym badge on the next route beedu he falls into a barrel and i didn't really realize it evolved this early on and we also catch ap dub that i named phoenix then we can go back into the dream yard for on audino i caught it and named it anubis this brings our crew of pokemon to four now which really isn't too bad and now we have to prepare for lenora's normal type gym where the level cap is level 20. before we can fight lenora we have a quick fight against n in front of the gym which isn't too bad since his team is pretty low leveled and for lenora i give our team some chesto berries to counter her watch hot hypnosis attack and lead with baberyl again to get off some workup with simple we get plus 2 attack which is pretty insane but her lead herder has intimidated to cancel out one workup we're able to hammer away at the hurtier though and knock it out with only 11 hp remaining much less than i would have liked for her watch hog since it's faster than us i don't want to risk anything so i go into autonote to skillfully dodge a hypnosis and since i have the chesterberry i am safe to take another hypnosis i then go for growls and attract to slow it down then dispatch her with a few secret powers to collect our second gym badge not much happens between now and castelia city and once we make it into gestalia city we have to prep for berg and his bug type team so having a tranquil on our team seems great except for his part rock type pokemon dweeble with rock throw i figure our best plan is to leave with barrel again on his whirlp to go for some workups and then hopefully he goes into his dwell right after we knock it out so we can water gun it for the ko then go into tranquil on his final pokemon being levanny to hit it for 400 damage he goes right into levanny after we knock out worlopy though and then he goes for ray's relief and gets a critical hit to knock out the barrel and after counting it out that crit definitely mattered meaning god is dead i resort to tranquil to take out the levanny and then watch hog for his dwell watchog is surprisingly tanky and has superfang to help it get down to 25 health after two hits and then crunch to finish it off we did lose our best pokemon in the barrel here but considering it's a pokemon we technically shouldn't have been able to have i don't really feel so bad about it audino has proven to be pretty good as well and watchag has been getting a lot better too i then accidentally stumble upon a bianca fight that i did not prepare for at all i had washa in the lead for her hurt year to chip away at it a little bit and then i go into audino to finish it off her muna comes in and yawns but luckily audino still has the chesto berry to counter it then comes in pig knight a part fighting type pokemon i really don't want to lose our audino here and we can't attract it so i just go for a few growls i feel safe enough after a couple of growls to switch into tranquil to take a hit and here she keeps going for flame charge but she gets a critical hit and knocks us from 65 hp all the way down to 20 hp this was a pretty massive crit since the following flame charge only does 9 damage and it will take another flame charge after that even and when pignite gets to a point where i think it'll die to a quick attack since it's in the red it lives with only one hp and knocks out our tranquil this is another annoying loss but we can at least get a bravery relatively soon to sort of replace it adina was unable to finish off her pig night though since it was at really low hp narrowly allowing us to escape this pretty close fight for this charon fight we only have two pokemon in watchog and audino left on our team charon doesn't have a pig knight which helps us out a little bit but he does have 4 pokemon and we will be battling with the sandstorm up causing us to take more damage each turn i figured that leading with watchhog and going for a superfang or 2 followed by a crunch should deal with most of his team members but i miss the super fang on the first turn on the following turn i go for another super fang and you guessed it i missed again causing us to take way more damage than we should have in order to knock out his lead pit of i then switch into audino and try to abuse its regenerator ability to heal some damage when we switch in and out but missing our first two moves really set us back in this fight eventually i get to a point where i feel like i have to switch to watch hog and let it die since it only has 3 hp left and audino is more valuable to our team right now but when i try to switch his life goes for pursuit instead knocking out the auto note somehow predicting i would switch then shortly after that we have to send out our only other pokemon being watchog with three hp and it dies leading us into attempt number two this time i just picked the boy character and named ourselves c and get to the first gym battle in a very similar manner to our first attempt the big difference here is our b doof doesn't have the simple ability this time and i know the power of going for leers against some of these gym fights in the first gym fight i leave with lillipop that we named cerberus this time around to take out the gym leader's lillipup without taking any damage then on pan sage i go for lyric workups then tackle to do just under half damage i don't want to risk going for a tackle having him live with like one or two hp and then going for a potion so i go for another layer to ensure the next tackle would ko the pan sage goes for vine whip and i take just under half damage we're slower so we have to take another hit meaning if the previous vine whip was a really low roll and the next mine whip is a super high roll there is a chance we could die fortunately we do live the second vine whip and knock out the pan sage to get our first gym badge this is a great improvement over our first attempt since we lost lillapump to the first gym leader that time we then go and catch an autonomo and lillipup and b-doof end up evolving hertier has the intimidated ability now which makes these team plasma fights and rival fights much easier at cutting their pokemon's attack by a bit and although the end fight in front of lenora's gym scares me a little bit since he has a timber we're still able to escape victorious we'll have to prepare for lenora's normal type gym and with hertier on our side i think this should go pretty well i then did a geography test before fighting lenora since chat said i wouldn't be able to get more than 30 states correct on a us map and i ended up getting 49 out of 50 because i mixed up kansas and nebraska so take that chat in lenora's gym pack rat ends up evolving against one of the junior trainers into watchdog and my strategy for the lenora fight is to lead it with the barrel go for work up and try to sweep her normal type team i accidentally led with her dear though after like 10 minutes of theorizing which still isn't too bad since we get the intimidate off on her her ear we're able to knock out her hurtier than i go into the barrel on her watch hog and get knocked out by retaliate i really didn't think that would kill us but at least we have our autonote to fall back on with a track to stall it out we then have to go through the pinwheel force where i caught a pid dub along the way and named it hermes and then i get ready to fight berg i figure that piddov will be great here especially for the junior trainers but it turns out that one of the junior trainers has a dwell out speeds and gets a critical hit to knock out piddov i'm not sure if the crit really mattered or not but without our flying type pokemon we have to rethink our strategy when we fight berg in the battle against berg i lead with watchugg of course and managed to get all the way to his levanny before i switch into autuno i then hammer away with secret powers and make it through berg unscathed we now have the opportunity to catch him in chino and i name it mini which will be good when we get the shiny stone to evolve it once we reach drip fail city looking ahead for elise's electric type gym though and this one can be a pain with her volt switching emolgas with the static ability in the battle against her we of course rely on watchog here again and managed to knock out the first mulga but we only have 20 hp remaining for her second tamulga and her ace pokemon zeb striker she has pursuit on this amolga which can kill us if we switch and if we stay in we die to a volt switch so we have to take a bit of a risk here i decided to switch to arduino thankfully don't get pursuited as she volt switches into her zeb striker i click return for what looks like it'll be a three hit ko although it might put her in potion range i secret power to get around the potion then get hit with a spark critical hit to knock out audino this was our biggest defensive anchor on the team and probably the best defensive pokemon we can catch in this entire run so losing it like this is pretty horrendous so i go into hurtier to revenge crit the zeb striker and put imoga in range to be 2 shotted i click return as she volt switches and yeah another critical hit in this battle that takes out hurtier that's two losses in this one battle alone just from critical hits and surprisingly minnie comes in to give us the win to clean up her last pokemon if we didn't get critted twice in this battle we probably wouldn't have lost any pokemon here and two pokemon remaining so far so things aren't really looking great since our next catch pretty soon is deerling but we can't evolve it until after we beat clay to rise the level cap i then didn't play for nearly a week since we didn't know i streamed these playthroughs live on twitch and i couldn't stream for a couple of days and when i returned i realized how difficult these next few segments would be for our two pokemon we first have another rival charon fight which really scared me at first but watchog with workup is just too strong and takes him out when we make it into driftvale city i catch a deerling as soon as i can name it rudolph then get the shiny stone so we can evolve chinchino into minchino or minchino to chinchina i always mix them up once it learns wake up slap at level 31 which coincidentally is also the level cap for clay's gym i then spend some time planning and realize our best way to get through clay is to use our chinchino teach it grass not for his palpitude have a workup so we can have at least a 68 chance to once trot his ex good drill at plus one attack with wake up slap and then wake up slap on his lead croco rock and of course the ace excadrill according to cerebes paige though for this gym fight it says that croc rock would have intimidate but it didn't which is great for us as it effectively saves us one turn since we now only have to go for one workup instead of two like i previously thought we one shot the crocodrop go for workup on the palpate as it gets a critical hit bulldoze on us to also lower our speed then grass not at the following turn to knock it out xgirl comes in and goes for a slash leaving us with just 11 hp and didn't get a critical hit for once we have a 68 chance to knock out an ex good drill at plus one assuming the ex goodreal has max hp and defense ivs and gym leader pokemon typically don't have max ivs from what i understand so his chance of living is incredibly low we are able to one-shot it though giving us our fifth gym badge and raising the level cap to level 34. i'm then ambushed by a bianca fight here and maybe i should have gave return back to menchino to help our damage output a little bit but i didn't however we are somehow able to take out bianca's lead herd year after the intimidate her panpour and her heart fighting type pig night pretty easily as pig knight didn't go for any fighting moves the pokemon that really gave us trouble was musharna of all things i had to switch to watchhog since mini got pretty low here and because watchuk has crunch it can type trumpet our first crunch does just over half and looks like it'll be a 2 at ko as we get crit by a side beam but still live there have been way too many crits for my liking lately and to top it all off she somehow lives a second crunch with one hp then knocks out watchog we must have gotten a super low roll here or something but at least our dealing with the eevee light item in hand has fained attack to knock it out putting us back to only having two pokemon again i don't think this game wants to have more than two pokemon at any given point for very long we now have to go through charge stone cave have an end fight that i totally didn't start without eithering my wake up slaps by accident so i reset for that then make it to mistralton city in this town we have to fight skyla and her flying type pokemon gym i think that mini should be good for this gym but first we have to ring some stupid bell by a nearby tower which has these trainers that if you press the b button on certain floor they move around i had no idea that was a thing and why it only exists here but there are still some unavoidable trainers and i end up going one level over the cap with minnie even though i avoided as many trainers as possible hopefully nobody's too mad at me being one level above but before we fight skyla i learned that there is a move tutor in this town to teach minnie the move rock blast which combined with the expert belt and the technician ability completely destroys skyla's whole team even if we were only level 35. this gym battle goes by way better than even clay's gym and although we only have two pokemon on our team i'm feeling pretty confident because of how strong minnie is and although i haven't showed it too much in this video salzburg has been great against a bunch of random trainers it's just not great right now because we just faced a flying type gym and then we have an ice type gym right after then all of the sudden all that confidence completely vanishes when i run into a trainer with a throw in the twist mountain that has the move revenge to cause us to wipe fighting type pokemon are not fun on to attempt number three i guess and i'll just brush past most of the details in this attempt until we reach twist mountain again things go by pretty well this time i forgot the nicknames of our pokemon though on this attempt so we have a few new ones you'll probably see on screen soon enough and we managed to get the first badge with our leer strategy and lose our pit dove to end in front of lenora's gym like five minutes after we caught it again at least we get through lenora unscathed and can go through the pinwheel forest next and into castelia city where we fight berg and although i was a bit scared and spent a lot of time planning i go through the same strategy did the first time where we went for super fangs and crunch with watch hog but also gave herder the eevee light to allow to tank hits a bit more when i had to switch it into the levanny three badges so far one death on this attempt not too bad next up we have those two rival fights north of castelia city against bianca and her pig knight and then charon i'm pretty scared because they have caused us a lot of trouble in the past i still get the retaliate tm since it's the strongest normal type move we have access to and use the work up strategy again i knew workup was good in this attempt but we really see its power as it allows us to get through bianca and then charon without very much of an issue at all this then brings us back to nimbasa's city and ready to fight elise's electric type gym i have a similar strategy of using watch hog with the petra berry to hell for any potential paralysis then go for workups and hammer away with return since we can conveniently buy the return tm in this town now which is the strongest move we can possibly get watch watchog isn't going to be able to solo run this gym though but it does knock out one emolga and do a lot of damage tourism strike and other imolga before i switch into herdier to come in to clean up into driftvale city we pick up a dealing again which i named sven and also get the shiny stone to evolve minchino into chinchino or maybe it's chinchino into minchino i keep mixing them up because they're such similar names either way we can now plan for clay and our plan is to use minnie the chinchino again with grass knots and wake up slap to take care of his team which is kind of funny because i remember on the last attempt i was so scared for clay and spent so much time prepping for him just to beat him really easily on this attempt then right before the next bianca fight as we leave the town our herdy evolves into stoutland and lays waste to bianca in two shakes of a lamb's tail now we have to prepare for skyla again and we're right around where we wiped in the last attempt mini proves her dominance by spamming rock blast again to easily take out skyla and although we have some close calls against sharon in the fight before the charge stone cave over here we have a full team of six now and can switch around pokemon much easier to just effectively out stamina charin i then avoid that one wild trainer in the wayward cave that caused us to lose in the last one with that throw and make it into icarus city the farthest we've made it yet here we mess up with these kids playing around you gotta mess up with these kids when you get to this town and use mini again with wake up slap for bryson's ice tight foes minnie is able to two shot his entire team with wake up slap and after some damage calcs it looks like the best option although we get hit by a crit from beretik we still live it but i have to switch out in order to take on his last pokemon in cryogonal i go into stateland and take it out with a return giving us our 7th gym badge now there's then some other small story stuff to do that isn't really much of a problem for us and then we have another bianca fight of course can't go more than 10 minutes in this game without a rival fight she has an mbor this time but it's raining and she has no fighting type moves so i leave with statland on her stoutland and since we're a bit higher level and we out speed we take it out on emboar i go to our trusty but barrel and try to knock it out with serfs but takedown does nearly half damage to us she doesn't have any fighting type moves so i just stay and go for surf again and thanks to the rain boosting it we knock out emboar the next couple of pokemon on our team go down a bit easy with even sven the sawzbuck coming in at times since i've barely used this thing but then her musharna gives us a lot of trouble which i didn't anticipate it does way more damage to us than i thought and tanks hits much better and on top of that keeps spamming defense curls i then make a huge misplay with audino thinking it had regenerator but it didn't trying to heal it up by switching and i also completely neglect the idea that we could have just gone for special moves here because her defense was so high and this causes us to lose audino unfortunately bavaro does come in to revenge ko for audino and although we only have 5 pokemon on our team right now we can finally get another encounter coming up which ends up being a rough lit that i named k kona we could have also caught a buffalo here since they share the same route but after we get the 8th gym badge we can at least find buffalon now we have to take on iris the 8th gym leader and her dragon type team we have access to the blizzard team for bavaro as well as iceman on stalin now to help out though as a drutagon from one of the first junior trainers goes for revenge to knock out our barrel after our blizzard misses the ko and then later on another junior trainer does way more damage with their fracture going for dragon hole than i anticipated and i was kind of forced to let something die and it had to be oswald the watchhawk i'm really disappointed by this because watchdog was really good especially in the middle part of the game it was kind of a fan favorite in the twitch chat so losing two pokemon to the junior trainers is really not ideal maybe if we still had autumn knows bulk with the blizzard behind it this would have gone by a lot better but when we do finally make it to iris and her team of three mono dragon type pokemon i just leave with cerberus again and rely on either return or ice fang we unfortunately can't work up too safely against her since of course all three of her pokemon have dragon tail to phase us out i take on the fracture as it just goes for dragon dances and then go for a bit over half damage on drudagon before getting dragon tailed into chinchino to knock out the drutagon next comes in her ace pokemon haxorus and it has dragon dance to make things even scarier she goes for slash though gets a critical hit on chinchino and knocks us out it has about two-thirds hp remaining and assuming my accounts were correct we only had a 50 chance of dying to a slash critical hit which makes things even sadder for me but i can go to stalin to get the intimidate lower her attack and then knock it into the red after one return she then goes for a dragon dance again though allowing us to take her out on the following turn before the elite four though we have one last rival fight against cheren his team is pretty good all around but we basically just have two and a half pokemon since this rufflet won't evolve until right before the elite four island with statland in this fight of course on his unpheasant and take it out without taking any damage on superior he outspeeds us and goes for a coil and tanks her return with over half health thanks to the defense boost superior then goes for leaf blade gets a critical hit and knocks us all the way down to 19 hp the return we went for on that turn gets him real low though here i know i'll die if i stay in so i think about what to switch in i go to saw's buck to take a leaf blade although it did more than i thought and then i take another one with just 33 hp remaining and missed the ko somehow although superior was super low and somehow tanked a faint attack i am forced to go to roughly it here to take a hit and luckily we resist grass to make it a bit easier and then knock out the superior on the semi-poor though we have to do something a bit risky if i stay in i'm definitely dying with rufflet and he still has a lie perd in the back we have to worry about since it's pretty fast so what i need to do is switch into our low hp sawzbuck take a skull which is its strongest attacking can go for hopefully don't get burned or critted and then horn leech to one shot the semi-poor and heal enough hp from it to then take on the lymphard i switch into live a skald don't get burned and should out speed due to our level advantage although i don't know for sure because semi-poor is naturally faster i click horn leech and by the graces of arceus we out speed one shot and heal a ton of health liper then comes in and is no match for sven the sawzbuck making me feel like i cheated death escaping that one without losing any pokemon up next we then have our final encounter a buffalon there was some confusion while streaming this as we thought i couldn't get both rufflet and buffalon since they do share a same route earlier on when we caught rufflet but it does turn out you can find a bouffalon in this badge area so i caught it and name it stitch because it is pokedex number 626 i then go through the victory road and spend a lot of time prepping for the elite four we only have four pokemon but since the level cap is 54 now ruffle it can finally evolve into brave yard which is a huge help i know that marshall's fighting type team will be a huge problem still so we'll need to rely on using brave era for him as much as we can since we have access to crunch and shadow claw though i figure that chantel's ghost type team will be easiest especially since we're immune to ghost so i decide to battle her first we need extra belt on stalin though to guarantee two shots on everything with crunch though and have to hope we either flinch get a crit one shot or have her lead cofedrigus not go for willow wisp or go for willow wisp and miss so that way we can get a pretty easy sweep on this battle she of course lands the willowist though as crunch does just over half and i decide to try to stay in to see if we can get lucky and knock out coat rodriguez since the only other moves it can really go for are grass knot and psychic which we can tank she of course lives with like 1 hp gets a special defense drop off the side kick and then heals if we sting in we definitely die so i go to graveyard try to shadow claw her and hope she misses a willow wisp again or doesn't go for willowist but nope she goes for it and plans it of course it looks like we might kill with shadowclaw again though through the burn but nope one hp left again she then heals as i try to go to sazbuck to kill with a faint attack but it does way less damage than i thought someone in chat then pointed out how horn leads should just do more damage because of stabs so i go for it and knock out the copyrights without being burned the problem is her next pokemon is chandelor and it lands a fire blast to knock out sawsbuck and gets a crit to just rub it in more i don't think it mattered but it still made me a bit saltier i go to braviari and dive to another fire blast then go to statlin to try to get as much damage as possible and do a decent bit but nope she lands another fire blast and kills us all that's left now is our bouffant which we just recently caught which would knock out chandelor with bulldoze but no she lands another fire blast and on top of that gets a critical hit which i'm pretty sure mattered and knocks us out ending our normal only run at the elite four in the unova region this run was harder than i thought mainly because of the elite four and marshall but i do think this run is possible if you get lucky enough and plan better than i did normal types in general are pretty strong and diverse and there's a lot you can do with them but at the same time they can be pretty easily exploited as most of them are just physical attackers and of course they're all weak to fighting now it's been about two months since i started streaming this run live on twitch and as i'm typing this brilliant diamond and shining pearl are very close to coming out so we'll have to end our pokemon white hardcore nuzlocke with only normal type pokemon right here we did get pretty far and i learned a lot in this run though as each attempt we did get noticeably better i still can't believe how we lost in that first attempt and twitch chat being with us did help a lot i do still plan on streaming some more hardcore nuzlockes on twitch though and then compiling them into a video like this one when they're done and if you want to watch these runs live make sure you follow me on twitch link below or if you want to see the stream highlights make sure you follow my extra channel which is also linked in the description with all of that out of the way i wanted to thank you all so much for watching hope you have a good rest of
