Steel types are remarkably powerful physically, but their special stats and speed are quite terrible on average. With that said, what if we got access to the full spectrum of Steel encounters in Pokemon Black 2, could they beat the game's hardest challenge - a hardcore nuzlocke with only Steel types?

We've done some hard Pokemon challenges in the past, but usually they were a solo Pokemon challenge run. What if we still did a really difficult challenge... but with a full team using hardcore nuzlocke rules, and with only one type? Today we find out: can I beat a Pokemon Black 2 Hardcore Nuzlocke with only Steel types? No items and no overleveling!

Monotype Hardcore Nuzlocke Ruleset:
(1) If a Pokémon faints, it must be permanently boxed or released.
(2) Only the first type-specific Pokémon encountered in each Route/Area can be caught.
(3) No Legendaries/Mythicals, duplicates, or same-evolution-line Pokémon can be caught or used. If a duplicate is encountered, the next unique type-specific Pokémon encounter can be caught.
(4) Additional Pokémon may be caught for the purpose of HM use, but these may not be used in battle at any time during the run.
(5) No Items can be used in battle (Held Items are allowed).
(6) Party Pokémon levels are limited to the highest level Pokémon of the next Gym Leader or Elite 4 Member. So long as your Pokémon are at or below the level cap when the Gym Leader/Elite 4 Member battle starts, they can level up mid-battle.
(7) "Set" Battle Mode must be used at all times.
(8) No connecting with other games for the purposes of importing Pokémon, Items, etc.

Do a run of B2W2 in CHALLENGE MODE. You choose the type.

@saffronsolos7699 7 ай бұрын

FlygonHG used to do those and discovered they’re actually easier than regular mode because the stats are the same as non challenge mode lower level mon but the level caps are higher for runners. It would sadly be less of a challenge for our dude

Yep, plus your opponents would have better move sets, so overall playing in challenge mode but keeping regular mode level caps for yourself would make it harder, like Rydeman mentioned.

I gotta admire Silph's bravery for that Clay fight. He willingly chose to risk the entire run just so he can have more encounters later on than sacrifice a few encounters for a much easier fight. If it were me, I would've taken the easy way out and gotten my next encounter right away.

@TheBT 7 ай бұрын

Sewaddle having a higher defence stat than Snorlax makes sense. Snorlax doesn’t really have much to defend itself, it can just absorb a lot of damage (thus high HP). Defence is more about ease of hitting, such as armour or just being small.

Lucario *alone* trivializes B2W2 😝 I used one in my playthrough of White 2 and it was a MUCH easier time than White had been for me.

@Firet111 7 ай бұрын

I just did a Steel-type run myself last week in the rom hack of Volt White 2 (not a nuzlocke run, just no using items in battles). Pretty tough in some areas of the game. Things to take away from the hack is that if a trainer has a flying type, it most likely to know Heat Wave & setup entry hazards 'cause of sturdy/focus sash users. I did enjoy the type changes to certain 'mons (Probopass is now rock/electric), ability changes (Klink line having Levitate), and stat/evolution changes (Riolu evolves by knowing aura sphere instead of friendship). They also added in Gen 6-8 moves (ex.: Wave Crash, Highhorse Power, Moonblast). Probably play again with a different type when I'm up for it again.

@Ghostface1998 7 ай бұрын

Every single time that I’ve played BW2 I always make sure to get a magnemite. Such a great Pokémon to use for this game practically a necessity.

Really looking forward to that, your teaser trailer left me with a good amount of anticipation. 😁

@incognitoinhell8742 7 ай бұрын

Hey Silph, I dunno if you take requests, but a fun challenge could be Bug Types in Scarlet/Violet - There's a surprising amount of diversity with Pokémon, especially with the Teal Mask, and the game's honestly really hostile to Bug Types, given each badge in the base game covers all the types. Great video as always 😄

Kudos on making Clay's fight harder just for extra encounters. When I tried this monolocke, I just used the Escavalier you can get from Route 6 and built my plan around it. For whatever reason, Clay's Excadrill doesn't know what to do with it because he just kept going for ineffective Metal Claws and Slashes every time.
