Poison types generally have well-rounded stats, but don't excel in any particular area and have a lot of weaknesses both offensively and defensively. What if we got access to the full spectrum of Poison encounters in Pokémon HeartGold... could they beat the game'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 HeartGold Hardcore Nuzlocke with only Poison 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.

@visionofsolace8961 In Gen 2 (GSC), they weren't trying to make Johto Pokémon. In the Gen 2 games and most promotional material, the new Pokémon are described as newly discovered Pokémon. They were indicating that the original 251 were found natively in both regions, and the newest 100 were just discovered between Red's and Gold's journeys. (Example: in GSC, Houndour is only found in Kanto. Houndour is a Kanto Pokémon) Then, when they made Gen 3, they originally planned for only new Pokémon. Not a single old Pokémon would have been available (this changed during development, but not until after a number of Pokémon were designed. Such as the entire Wurmple family)

Dunno if you've already done it, Silph, but if you haven't you should consider doing some variety of tierlist for Pokemon.

24:32 The AI in Pokemon knows every stat about their own and about your current Pokemon on the field. It sees Ben with only 34 HP and calculates the damage each of Polywraths attacks. And if the AI sees a kill with more than one move it'll just roll the dice and picks one fatal move at random. In your case it went for Surf. So the AI will sometimes use uneffective moves against you, if they calculate a killing blow. This is super important for Nuzlockes :)
