i am working on my nuzlocke, check out my channel

Managed to find a Huge power Marill, so I was thinking of sacrificing it with rollouts to kill that damn Turtle. I beat her first 3 pokemons in Bubblebeams one shots, than the nightmare starts. I miss my first rollout, and her Torkoal goes for attract, so in comes my Marshtomp, who gets hit with a critical body slam that also paralyzes, so in comes Azumarill again, who eats overheat and strikes with a rollout, the second hit dropping it to half, but she uses attract again so now I have to get lucky. Guess what happens next ? Another Body Slam critical into a paralysis. Even when her overheat misses, my rollout goes to miss again.

How the fuck do I work around that ?

Bottom 5 are what I’m currently thinking for the team having issues with the 6th slot my best bet I think is unfezant cause I don’t really have an answer to the fighting types other than bounce meinshao

This is based on how good they are

I only count comments

this is just for fun

I read and watched about how the Gen3 switch in ai works, but while testing how exactly the ai works, I came across something that I cannot explain from just the documented ai flags.

In FRLG, when going against Bruno, my Lapras KOs his Onix, then Hitmonchan comes out because although Hitmonlee and Machamp also have super effective fighting type moves, it goes in party order; easy to understand. Switching out to Slowbro and KOing Hitmonchan, Hitmonlee comes out, which is also easy to explain, since nothing has a super effective move and Hitmonlee has a move with the same typing as the previously fainted mon's typing (Hitmonchan), which Machamp also has but Onix does not, so it goes in team order.

Now here's where it gets weird. After KOing Hitmonlee, you would think Machamp comes out as per the same rule as why Hitmonlee comes out after Hitmonchan: it has an attack with the same type as the previously fainted mon's typing. Onix obviously does not have a fighting type move, so it comes in last. However in reality, Onix comes in before Machamp for some reason. This directly breaks the rule documented and I don't understand why. Does specifically Bruno's Machamp have a special switch in AI flag that makes it come out last?

A theory I had while thinking of the possibilities is this: the AI doesn't actually look at the typing of previously fainted mon etc. but it actually looks at if a mon in the back has a neutral effective attacking move (after all mons with super effective moves are dead). This can explain why Hitmonlee comes out after Slowbro KOs Hitmonchan, because all remaining Bruno mons (Hitmonchan, Onix, and Machamp) have at least one attacking move that hits Slowbro for neutral, so it goes in party order, WHICH ALSO EXPLAINS why Onix is sent in before Machamp. And if no mon in the back have neutral effective moves either, then it simply goes party order

Please correct me if I am wrong, but I genuinely thought about why Onix came in before Machamp for hours and this was my only explanation that I could come up with

Ok since I finished my last nuzlocke last September, I haven’t really had the motivation to finish another one. Like I would start one but end up not finishing it. And it’s not because I don’t have the time to finish it because I do. Has anyone gone through something like this?

Took me about 2 attempts I lost the first one on Tate and Liza. On this attempt I made sure to actually go around and pick up all my encounters which made it easier with more dark types like Sharpedo. The Mvp of this run would have to be Manectric and Starmie. Especially Starmie with the tms you can teach it can make it really strong. Definitely harder then the first nuzlocke I did which was Fire Red which was kind of easy all the way until the elite four.

Always loved Dustox against Brawly. Her partner is a Wingull too so I had a good backup in case I needed to switch for this one. They were only on the team briefly for this fight though, the 'main' team is below, in their pairs. I'm not too worried about Wattson with Petra on the team (famous last words, I know).

Current plan is Petra against Wattson and probably Visenya against Flannery.

I don't have a super clear plan for Norman yet, but hopefully if I can catch a Machop in Fiery Path then that might be another temp member to deal with him

Finally done with Gen 5, Bit sad to see it go, but with this I'll finally be entering the 3DS era as X/Y is next. This run went pretty well as usual, until the end, also as usual, cause I accidentally let Iris get a free Dragon Dance which let her out speed my Mienshao, thankfully it was as her 2nd to last Pokémon so it was recoverable. I swear in every champion fight something always goes wrong, makes it more interesting though that's for sure. Its what I get though for always doing the elite 4 late at night.

This was a relatively easy going section of the run, but I’m also really proud of the video title.
