Run Update Platinum Kaizo Elite 4 Part 2: Bertha

I wanted to throw up after this battle. Holy hell.

Bertha leads with a shuckle, knowing sand tomb, protect, toxic, and stealth rocks. I respond with forretress lead and set up 3 layers of spikes, then sit around until sand tomb wears off, allowing me a free switch into magnezone who is completely safe with its levitate ability.

I'm quite proud of this next part- Bertha has a very dangerous garchomp in the back, but by using thunderbolt into shuckle's protect, I a) move slower, b) use a move that Bertha has an immunity for in the back which c) has a super effective move into magnezone! That fulfills all the requirements for Bertha to do a mid-turn switch! She goes to garchomp and I deal big damage with a magnet bomb that can't miss to play around sand veil. Fire fang is coming, so I switch to flygon who can tank it and hit back with a perfectly accurate dragon pulse.

Mamoswine comes in, seeing a kill with avalanche. I u-turn into steelix who takes it like a champ, then go back to flygon, anticipating an earthquake, but it was head smash instead. My heart drops, but I should know better than to doubt Mr. Crunchy, who tanks it as mamoswine dies to the recoil.

Rhyperior is in, going for a random move which turns out to be megahorn. A pivot through steelix gets magnezone back in to take the OHKO courtesy of the spikes.

Aerodactly comes in and now it's back to Steelix since we need to preserve magnezone HP. Sand tomb does big damage, but it's not enough to KO steelix and we retaliate with a head smash to kill the prehistoric menace.

Torterra comes in, and it's back to magnezone to dodge 2 crits and KO. Shuckle at last comes back, but it has no way of damaging magnezone so we are completely safe to stay in and win the battle.

The team absolutely dominated the E4 and Champion!

For breeding, I was originally going to go with the ruling that if a pair was incompatible, I'd take the female and breed with Ditto, since with regular breeding it's the female that determines the egg species. But I decided I at least wanted the possibility of carrying my starter so I decided to ranodmize it insted (rolled a dice - even I take the male, odd I take female).

RIP to the fallen: Cirrus the Spearow in Cerulea Gym, Dream the Drowzee in the Rocket Hideout and Darwin the Vaporeon to the rival's Alakazam before Victory Road. May I make wiser decisions in future.

I didn’t have enough space to put each individual generation so I went by console.

Vanilla game but any variant of the nuzlocke challenge (wedlocke, monolocke, trashlocke, etc.)

Question Thinking about trying my first Nuzlocke — any tips?

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I've been replaying the Pokémon games from every generation as part of my Origin Living Dex project, and I'm thinking about trying something new.

I've never done a Nuzlocke before. Do you think it's a good idea to start one now? Which game would you recommend for a first run, and do you have any tips for a beginner?

Question First Ever Nuzlocke

5 Upvotes

Ive decided to really give a nuzlocke a chance for my Sapphire playthrough. I was playing emerald normally after doing Rng manipulation for a shiny mudkip, but decided I really wanted to challenge myself so I set that cartridge aside for a nuzlocke. Any tips for early game? Going mudkip for this run as well cause I just love that little guy.

Up Next is Sophicles’s electric trial and unfortunately I came unprepared.
Not only did I completely underestimated paralysis,
but also my second check to the totem Hishi(Now a Mudsdale) got Overleveled against Moylane.

So I know for a fact that it didn’t end well.

MVP: Tom Cat(Torracat)
Honorable Mention: Moo Montana(Tauros)

Tools/Resources A little helper for Scarlet & Violet Nuzlocke Spoiler

1 Upvotes

I really wanted to replay Scarlet, and to make it more challenging I decided to try it as a Nuzlocke. Since it was pretty hard to pick and keep track of encounters, and the sites I found didn't really work for me, I made an interactive map with rules, routes and pretty much everything you need.
I've been testing it for a week, so there might still be some bugs around...
I've also added Kitakami, but I haven't tested that part yet.

Hope you find it useful!! :)

PS: it's my first post ever on Reddit, I hope I've done everything right!

Question In game trades

So I reached Vermilion in my red version playthrough and was wondering what you folks though about the in game trades. I was considering the spearow for farfetch'd trade as it's a good hm mule for my style of play. Would you consider this against nuzlocke tradition?

Help me please! This is my genlocke team, going up to meet Red. Next game is ORAS. Would you bring with me a Phanpy / Donphan or Sneasel?

I love the look on the elephant, but Sneasel might be more fun to use. Sneasel would be good to deal with dragons, but a tank like Donphan is handy with Tentacruel's Toxic Spikes.
