Normal types are super fun to work with, but there are A LOT of them in Pokemon Heartgold and SoulSilver... what if we made a hardcore nuzlocke even more challenging by only using Pokemon we've NEVER used before!?
Can Normal types beat Pokemon Heartgold and SoulSilver's hardest challenge?!

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 SoulSilver Hardcore Nuzlocke with only Normal 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.

What a cool run! really like the 'only new pokemon' rule for a run with that many encounters

@emilysmith2965 Жыл бұрын

I like to use a modified version of that rule for my Nuzlockes: Hall of Fame clause. Any successful Hall of Fame team (even those who died at the E4 or Champion battle) can only be used again in the region where they won. Unless future versions are Shiny. This doesn’t affect Starters much (except once I used a Wonder Traded Torchic in Pokémon Y so that guy’s native to Kalos now… lol). Pokémon that appear in many regions start having this cat-and-mouse game about them… do you really want them on your Hall of Fame team if it means they can’t be used again? And on the other side of that, regional exclusives have more value than they usually would. Sure, put a Furfrou on your Champion team. That will not affect other games. Just keeps things interesting.

PLEASE can we see a rock nuzlocke of sun, moon, ultra sun, or ultra moon? 95% sure it’s possible, you just have to either give yourself Tauros Charge early or use your starter for the first island. If you do give yourself early access to Tauros Charge, you get three encounters. EDIT: you can also get a Carbink on Poke Pelago if you give Pelago to yourself early.
