Pokémon Official Pokemon Nuzlocke/Wonderlocke Discussion Thread

[kittenrobotarmy]

I'm currently doing a Nuzlocke on X, I previously completed a Wonderlocke and it was hella awesome.

Lemme go grab my 3DS and check out my team..

-5 minutes later-

I have a full party, I'm on my way to Geosenge after beating Grant.

Seltzier (Eevee) - level 19
Kazikya (Ivysaur) - level 25
Sacre (Pidgeotto) - level 25
IndominusRex (Tyrunt) - level 22
Rhinita (Espurr) - level 22
Labelle (Braxien) - level 25

I'm training up Seltzier and yes, I did watch Jurassic World yesterday so IndominusRex is a reminder of it.

I appreciate the reference.

But your team's looking great so far! I'm just going to remind you to be careful with Grant; his Aumaura's Refrigerate caught me off guard the first time I fought him. I can expect him to be a bit of a Nuzlocke killer if you aren't wary.

That teams pretty boring :I When I play nuzlockes I tend to not use gift pokemon and release them in an opportunity to catch a wild one instead (So for example I'd use the starter up until the point where I can catch a pokemon, catch one and then release the starter - same w/ gift pokemon)

starters always tend to be a bit more powerful than usual pokemon, since it's supposed to be your first/main pokemon.

 

[Midoriya]

Well I got to the seventh gym and got obliterated by Olympia, so the wonderlocke challenge is over for me. I'm burned out once again from nuzlocke and wonderlocke challenges, so I'm going to play something else for awhile

 

[Earth Wolf-Howl]

Ah. Sorry to hear that. :/

I decided that, seeing as I wasn't motivated to grind in Black, I'd start a second Nuzlocke on White 2 to work myself up to it. Of course, though, due to my rather unfortunate team members so far, I'm going to have to do it anyway...

Right now I have:

Joust (Oshawott), level 13
Duster (Azurill), level 11
Pippin (Sunkern), level 2.

If you're ever trying to grind in one of those games and need something really helpful Audinos are great to kill for exp btw.

Yup, I'm aware- thanks! But I'm at the point where I run into Emolgas, so I opted to train in the Desert Resort for now.

Yeah, Emolgas are so annoying >.>

 

[Earth Wolf-Howl]

Agreed. Especially considering a lot of my team is slow, they're liable to burden me with so many status effects before I actually find an Audino.

This is true, unfortunately.

 

[Jarrad]

I remember when I played through pokemon blaze black 2 (it's a hacked version of the game w/ increased difficulty and stuff like random gym leaders to challenge throughout the region)

It's a shame we have to have a friend give us that entralink thing if we ever want to play through a harder version of the game (which probably isn't even that hard)

 

[Earth Wolf-Howl]

This is true, unfortunately.

Oh, well... Desert Resort's good enough for the Pokemon with a type advantage there.

May I bump this?

I bought Pokemon X a few years ago, and I didn't play it because Y took my eye more than X. I didn't want it to collect dust so I thought of using it for a nuzlocke run.

I'm currently at Cyllage City, I still haven't found a Pokemon at route 10 yet (Hoping for a Hawlucha)

Anyway, here's my current team:

Lady Flower (Floette) - level 19
Ninja Kermit (Frogadier) - level 22
Da Very Best (Charmeleon) - level 21
Sir Thomas (Oddish) - level 20
Notice Me! (Pokemon X pokedex entry: "It senses coming disasters and appears before people only to warn them of impending danger." In other words... NOTICE ME SENPAI! (Absol) - level 17
You're Fat (Its evolution is like a sun, and ASDF 7) (Helioptile) - level 16

I'm currently training Notice Me! at route 5 and not sure where to train You're fat, but probably somewhere that has water type pokemon.
The only thing I should worry about is Grant, because I know i'll get rock rekt.

I suppose you could easily pick up the Old Rod and fish in Cyllage City to train your Helioptile, but I'm guessing Luvdisc doesn't dole out much EXP, does it?

Anyhow, I started a SoulSilver Nuzlocke. At the moment, my team is:

Riki (Quilava), level 14
Megalya (Pidgey), level 13
Lucas (Geodude), level 13
Vippik (Bellsprout), level 12
Crunky (Mareep), level 13
Fiora (Gastly), level 4

I'm just before Faulkner, and considering that Lucas and Crunky are both level 13, I'm considering taking him on.

Well, from what level i'm at now, It could work. But I have to watch out for Take Down.

 

[Earth Wolf-Howl]

Anyhow, I've gotten a little further on my SoulSilver Nuzlocke. I defeated Bugsy this afternoon thanks to Lucas the Geodude, who's proving to be a reliable asset so far. However, because I have a full team of six (eight?) at the moment, I think I'm starting to get a little overwhelmed by grinding. I'm mostly focusing on my three main players for Whitney- Lucas the Geodude, Muscle the Machop and Zen the female Nidoran.

My team is:

Riki (Quilava), level 17
Megalya (Pidgey), level 17
Vippik (Bellsprout), level 18
Crunky (Flaafy), level 17
Morpheus (Slowpoke), level 16
Zen (FNidoran), level 15

Reserve:

Lucas (Geodude), level 21
Muscle (Machop), level 16

 

[Midoriya]

I just today started a Nuzlocke challenge on Pokemon Heartgold version. And just now I beat Falkner, the first gym leader. Here's my team so far:

PkMn Trainer Nuzlock

Gym Badges: 1

Pokedex: 2

Level 14 Totodile (Croc) [Female] [Water Type]

Ability: Torrent (Powers up Water-type moves in a pinch)

Serious nature: Good endurance

Scratch/Bite/Water Gun/Rage

Level 14 Geodude (Rocky) [Female] [Rock/Ground Types]

Ability: Rock Head (Protects the Pokemon from recoil damage)

Sassy nature: Often lost in thought

Tackle/Rock Throw/Mud Sport/Rock Polish

Pokemon Egg


Looks like I'm doing good so far

 

[Earth Wolf-Howl]

You're doing well so far, I think!

Anyhow, I got to Ecruteak City. No-one's died so far, though Lucas, Zen, Abaasy the Stantler and my Pidgeotto (now named Sharla) all came pretty close to death against Whitney's Miltank, Sudowoodo, a wild Rattata's crit Hyper Fang and a wild Raticate's Hyper Fang respectively.

Here's my team right now:


Diggory- Female- level 25
Modest- Quick to flee
Keen Eye (Insomia would be better for what I'm using her for, but I'm not complaining. I can always grow Chesto Berries)
Uproar/Confusion/Reflect/Peck


Muscle- Female- level 25
Lonely- Proud of its power
Guts
Strength/Focus Energy/Revenge/Foresight


Lucas- Male- level 25
Bashful- Often dozes off
Rock Head
Headbutt/Magnitude/Rock Throw/Rock Blast


Riki- Male- level 22
Timid- Capable of taking hits
Blaze
Quick Attack/Flame Wheel/SmokeScreen/Ember


Cooper- Male- level 14
Calm- Likes to relax
Levitate
Poison Gas/Tackle/Smog/SmokeScreen


Abaasy- Female- level 19
Relaxed- Thoroughly cunning
Intimidate
Sand-Attack/Astonish/Hypnosis/Stomp

I have a LOT of boxed Pokemon, so I'll put them in a spoiler:

Spoiler: Pokemon who aren't part of the current team

Boxed
Jojjo (Weedle), level 3
Asher (Zubat), level 3
Goose (Meowth), level 16
Chewy (Rattata), level 6
Tank (Hoppip), level 6
Egg
Kira (Spearow), level 3
Midnight (Oddish), level 5
Crunky (Flaaffy), level 18
Cooper (Koffing), level 14
Vippik (Bellsprout), level 19
Morpheus (Slowpoke), level 17
Harbinger (Scyther), level 13
Discord (NidoranM), level 12
Fiora (Gastly), level 4
Jukka (Eevee), level 5
Sharla (Pidgeotto), level 19
Zen (Nidorina), level 21
FL047.exe (Magnemite), level 16

EDIT: I switched around my team a little. Call it an odd choice to box Sharla for Diggory, but I'm relying on Diggory's Ghost immunity/Confusion and Abaasy's Hypnosis to get me through Morty's battle.
