Ground types are very powerful physically, but their special stats and speed are quite terrible. With that said, what if we got access to the full spectrum of Ground encounters in Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver... could they beat the game's hardest challenge - a hardcore nuzlocke with only Ground 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 HeartGold Hardcore Nuzlocke with only Ground 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.

Hardcore nuzlocke but you can only use the rarest pokemon from each route.

Or maybe a fighting type run again would be interesting, the last one of those was a year ago. And in terms of interesting games to do it on would be X, Y or one of the newer games like sword, shield, scarlet or violet If no better plans though

Love your vids as always. Can i suggest one nuzloke run here? It would be amazing if you can do a only bug crystal nuzloke run alm the way until red. And as a 2nd part of the run (maybe you could do a new series of this as a post game series) try to do a complete run at the battle tower after beating red with softlock rules (if your team loses you cannot use same 3 pokemon together anymore so you have at least to change 1 in order to try again). So if you beat red you pokemon should do the lvl of the closest lvl posible (probably lvl 70) That would be amazing cos the battle tower cheats (3 horn drill in a row is one of my darkest memories back them when i was a kid playing battle tower with a supper slow pc so i watched that hp bar dissappear in lile 15secs) Best regards!!

@wouwtunes1564 9 ай бұрын

yes, also the challenge was immediately a lot easier with quagsire's water absorb

@evawhite1144 3 ай бұрын

At this point, I'm sure the only reason he decided to give the rival Totodile and not Chikorita is because the rival fight in Azalea would've been impossible to beat with the team Silph had at that point, going against a potential Bayleef. He had a Geodude, Wooper, and Sandshrew. I really, really can't see him defeating a Bayleef that has Razor Leaf with those guys. But also, giving him Totodile is a joke, given that his Wooper had water absorb. So Bayleff would've been impossible to beat in Azalea, and Croconaw is a joke with water absorb wooper. Though I agree that it would've been interesting to see him try and strategize and come up with a plan to try and beat the rival's Bayleef. Would've made things more interesting and challenging.
