Facts. Falkner unironically ended Nuzlocke runs a few times for me due to that fact.

You just gave me an idea for a Pokemon nickname.

Fair points, but Squirtle should have Water Gun by that point (L13), which would reliably OHKO Geodude and Onix. Bulbasaur should be capable of it too with Vine Whip; it depends on your levels relative to Brock's, and both vastly outperform Charmander against Brock. My word, you're right about...

:gs/jumpluff: The Hoppip line was surprisingly incredibly fun - and useful - in my Crystal Hardcore Flying Nuzlocke. Fast sleep and Leech Seed are not to be trifled with, and Headbutt actually does sufficient damage to most enemies; Jumpluff isn't sweeping teams, but they sure make it a lot...

Great question. IMO, Heracross is probably one of the best examples. They had practically zero good (or even average) STAB moves before Kanto, yet reliable access to Brick Break pre-Whitney and Close Combat pre-E4 (most likely pre-Clair) goes a long way in beefing them up; natural Aerial Ace and...

Snorlax is after the Pokemon League, so kinda out of bounds for the tier list. That said, chalk another W up for Machamp there, lol.

The Slowpoke discussion sounds quite interesting. Guess I need to try one. Not convinced Slowbro or Slowking belongs in D. C seems fine, but I guess I'll actually have to use them.

Quick question: what happens if a Pokemon has only been tested once or twice by the closure of the thread?

Chapter 1: The Winds of a New Beginning Blow Encounters so far: New Bark: Totodile Route 29: N/A Route 30: Pidgey Route 31: Hoppip, Bellsprout (for trade only) Route 46: Rattata Dark Cave: Zubat (fainted) Violet: Onix (traded Bellsprout) Route 36: Growlithe (Roared away) Route 32: Ekans Union...

Unlike Eeveeto, my Nuzblocke bans Pokemon I already won a previous Hardcore Nuzlocke with (as opposed to OU-tier mons in competitive). The challenge ends at Red and the rules are as follows: 1) First Come, First Capture: Can only catch/buy/obtain the first Pokemon I find or encounter in each...

Karen's Houndoom is probably the single scariest boss before Kanto proper, at least in GSC. Woman killed my Pokemon multiple times in Nuzlockes. Most of her team is annoying and has all sorts of hax or nasty stuff like Pursuit to toss at you, but that doggy is a straight up menace. Fast, strong...

Now THAT was a bad run. Kimono Girl nearly killed my Eevee (Aurum) with Espeon-induced confusion :( Exeggutor (Gastly and Haunter) + Sandslash (Gengar and Haunter) double teamed Morty for an easy win, no Mint Berry needed Eevee (Aurum) died to Eusine’s Mean Look Haunter :( Chuck a joke...

Using Starmie to Toxic + Recover stall that OP Espeon that Red's got.

Day one of my Yellowlocke! So far so good; no deaths yet. So, here are some highlights: Toughest battle yet: In Goldenrod Gym, the Meowth trainer was terrifyingly strong, walking off two Returns from Jaune, my Beedrill, and nearly killing with Slash. I believe they brought another Pokemon to...

Meh. I actually started the Chesslocke, but failed it multiple times (pre-Falkner) and lost interest the one time I got through. Too many complicated rules to keep track of. Not evolving your Starter is easy, but memorizing what your non-King Pokemon can do based on role is much harder...

Furret. Kind of a rough start given their abysmal stats and moves at first as Sentret, but eventually turned out to be one of the best Pokemon I ever used in Pokemon Crystal. Helped beat Falkner and the Azalea Rival, literally crushed Whitney with a bit of aid from Bellsprout, soloed Morty, and...

Sometimes I wish Audino was a dinosaur. The rest of the time, I think she's one of the most underappreciated Pokemon ever, and probably cutest...

Audino is uber cute. Probably the cutest Pokemon ever, and I love its BW sprite and ''national anthem'' to pieces.

Good points, mostly, but Sentret actually had a relatively solid endgame IMO (at least with Curlout for Lance and Surf for Onix), on top of appearing quite a bit earlier than Girafarig and helping trample multiple scary bosses like Whitney (Curlout helps again), Bugsy, and Azalea Rival. I might...

Lanturn by Kezrek. Day 5 - and I WON the challenge! I defeated Red with a team in the early L60s, Yet with victory came many, many losses. Last time, I only lost Sgt. Byrd; this time, I lost Draco, Patrick, Piranha, Daisy (yep), and a Lanturn I newly added to my team (named Sparx), between...
