We've done some hard Pokemon challenges in the past, but usually they were a solo Pokemon challenge run. What if we still did a really difficult challenge... but with a full team using hardcore nuzlocke rules, and with only one type? Today we find out: can I beat a Pokemon White Hardcore Nuzlocke with only Bug types? No items and no overleveling!

Monotype Hardcore Nuzlocke Ruleset:
(1) If a Pokémon faints, it must be permanently boxed or released.
(2) Only the first type-specific Pokémon encountered in each Route/Area can be caught.
(3) No Legendaries/Mythicals, duplicates, or same-evolution-line Pokémon can be caught or used. If a duplicate is encountered, the next unique type-specific Pokémon encounter can be caught.
(4) Additional Pokémon may be caught for the purpose of HM use, but these may not be used in battle at any time during the run.
(5) No Items can be used in battle (Held Items are allowed).
(6) Party Pokémon levels are limited to the highest level Pokémon of the next Gym Leader or Elite 4 Member. So long as your Pokémon are at or below the level cap when the Gym Leader/Elite 4 Member battle starts, they can level up mid-battle.
(7) "Set" Battle Mode must be used at all times.
(8) No connecting with other games for the purposes of importing Pokémon, Items, etc.

    I mean this technically counts as a 'spooky month' run, right? :_SilphLaugh: ...but the scariest thing of all is not following on Twitter yet 😱 twitter.com/SilphSpectre

    Bug type as a whole got a nice little buff in gen5 imo, was nice to see them finally get some love
  • Man, gen 5 really said, "So what if we didn't make the bug type garbage?"
  • @officialjaved
    The bug types in this generation are really good. I’m glad they made them powerful instead of the usual early encounter wimpy bug types that evolve into the final type quickly.
  • Ok I have to stick up for Minccino and Cinccino, I love those little guys. Yeah they're basic but they're cute and skill link is fun to mess with
  • I still can’t believe Accelgor isn’t part Ghost type. It makes sense if you’ve ever read Escavalier’s Pokédex entry and the ghost typing would make it much better imo
  • Gen 5 was literally the best era of bug types Scolipede is amazing
  • @tikko1023
    I love the smell of new Nuzlocke runs in the morning ☕️
  • Fun fact, that silent woman Silph called Red is actually a zoruark in disguise, the only way to break it is to get celebi and bring her there while she’s in your party
  • @envystar687
    Scolipede is literally my favorite Pokémon! I’m so glad it’s finally getting some love ❤
  • @hoothoot7122
    I love all gen 5 bug types. Galvantula is my favorite overall Pokémon too, funny how it lives to the end
  • I’ve always loved scolipede! He may not be the best mon but he’s probably my favorite gen 5 mon
  • Silph I’m literally doing a bug nuzlocke on black 2, I love it. The encounters are amazing, some very strong bugs like leavanny, heracross, crustle and even volcorona 😁
  • Spectre, I love watching your Nuzlocke's. I've been in the hospital for six weeks now due to a broken femur, but watching your content always puts a smile on my face, even through the pain. So keep up the great work man, and I can't wait for next Sunday!
  • @skiblizzyy
    Silph could you please do a final segment where you decide which Pokémon was the MVP of the run? I think it would be really cool to hear your opinions and who you thought really carried the team the most, most of all i love your videos! they’ve gotten me to start nuzlocking myself, and truly making play throughs amazing for me again 🙏🏻

    Stealth rock against all the volt switches of the 4 gym would be broken, especially since two mons are flying type and lose a quarter of their health on a switch in
