Tried some fully randomized black 2 nuzlockes, never got close to getting past the first gym. Too hard.

In post 496, sirdanilot wrote:^ There are some rules of thumb for this. Firstly, spam potions. You don't want to run ANY risk of your pokemon dying, if it's a valuable one. So if it is within 2x the KO range, potion it, because a critical hit WILL kill it (crits are 2x as powerful as normal attacks). Also, grind. Now it's lame to grind you pokemon excessively (not to mention sadistic for yourself), but you don't want to be underleveled at all.

My main problem right now is that Govert the Ghastly can't hit the flying gym pokes as its only attack is Lick. But I suppose Gert the Geodude can take care of that :D


I don't know if you know what I mean when I said fully randomized, but when typing and movesets and stat distribution is fully randomed, holy shit is it hard to predict anything based on anything. Both of my 'decent' runs ended by running into a trainer with a Pokemon that was fully resistant to my move set.

The games need to actually innovate in some meaningful way, they've felt old since D/P to me.

Original gen is terrible for nuzlockes in my experience, much worse than emerald. So many moves in that game just completely Reck you. Like Wrap or ever being frozen.

Also the miltank in silver/gold is also brutal.

how has the sun nuzlocke been? I've considered picking up a copy to do the same.
