HARDCORE NUZLOCKE RULES (POKEMON HARD MODE)
-----------------------------------------------------
1. Only Pokemon with a Grass-typing can be used in battle.
2. I can only try to catch the first Grass-type that I encounter in each area.
3. If a Pokemon faints it cannot be used for the remainder of the run.
4. If my whole team faints then the attempt is over.
5. No items in battle (held items are okay).
6. Set mode enabled.
7. I cannot over-level beyond the highest level of the next gym. The level cap is shown in the overlay.
8. No duplicate species can be caught. Encounters for species that I have caught previously are re-rolled.
9. Any shiny Grass-type can be caught regardless of whether it is the first encounter of an area.
10: WILD AREA: Limit of one initial encounter on my first visit and one additional encounter for each gym badge.

    Shoutout to Rotom, who was... emotional support
  • @BruggleStar
    Ferroseed being named DoNotTouch: Hop: I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that
  • @ZunkleFunkle
    Man, the "I tried" in the title genuinely added some suspense, I was worried Leon would've wiped your whole team.
  • @396dog8
    This really shows how useful duel types are in Type specific Nuzlockes. Rillaboom did not do very much for a big part of the game as it is just a mono type.
  • @hodgepodge8438
    11:40 so a fun fact, Eviolite ferroseed actually has higher defenses than its evolution. By a significant amount too!
  • @DadesWings
    I tried this in sword where Ludovico wasn't available, that didnt go well....
  • @arlecasinto1036
    Its a great scene to see that he won with only grass types. Though ferrothorn was the mvp, ludicolo is definitely a close second. No one forget all the pokemon that he just didnt use like rotom, they were good for emotional support :)
  • @threeicedcreams
    May I suggest keeping battle animations on for videos? It just makes watching battles a bit more entertaining and visually interesting

    You used Ferrothorn's maximum potential! Well played.
  • For the first wild area encounter, oddish would've been a much more valuable teammate than snover. After reaching turffied, you can get a leaf stone and get an early vileplume, which is super strong. It can learn moonblast, really helpful with dark, fighting and dragon types.

    Keegan: it's the best starter Me: " nods in agreement."
  • @Meziim
    Grass type are my favorite type in every pokemon game ive had my starter was grass type
  • @nb8205
    "And then everyone clapped" I lost my shit when you said this hahah. Such a well-written script for a well-played Nuzlocke lol, keep up the amazing videos.
  • @joeywomer
    As much flack as these games get. I still enjoy them.
  • @JediSteve-J3-
    You know, I almost did a grass only driftlocke..I chose grookey and nearly died to a level 5 rookidee. Also a driftlocke is a nuzlocke but I have to deal with joycon drift. Still doing it At the start it was mostly just horizontal, but after the first couple fights it would randomly go up a bit. It was the beginning of the end.

    I'm so glad to see a challenge later than gen 5. I'm new to your channel but I hope you'll continue that with some gen 6 & 7 challenges.
  • im usually not into these kinda videos, but this guys calm voice and way of explaining things kept me interested through the entire thing
  • @auramaster2068
    The grass type selection in swsh is surprisingly good, especially in shield with lotad. I sweeped almost every fight except Leon and kabu
