Current Events > Follow me on my Pokemon Black universal randomized nuzlocke!

(+) Yeah! (+)

Literally my first legit attempt at a nuzlocke, not counting when I was doing one on Platinum and got pissed and quit.

My three starter choices were:
Swinub, Horsea, and Tynamo.

I picked Tynamo because I randomized the HMs/TMs and I'm afraid I wouldn't get Ancient Power. I also know it'd be tough to use a Pokemon with so many weaknesses.

My Tynamo is called "Spurmese" cause I like cats, there are Burmese cats, and he looks like a sperm.

He's Naive and started with tackle, thunder wave, spark, and charge beam.

Route 1 I just caught my first Pokemon! I set the catch rate to easy so I didn't have to dick around too much with certain Pokemon being harder to catch for the nuzlocke.

I got a Shellgon that I named Scrote. He's naughty by nature, and has rage, bite, leer, and headbutt.

Tynamo is a rough starter. It literally doesn't learn anything until it evolves.

Neat-O, I'm intrigued to see where your adventure goes.

I put randomized starting movesets based on typing -- so he started with a few moves. I know Horsea may have been a better choice if I literally had nothing randomized other than the encounters, though.
He also has an ability that makes skills that hit multiple times stronger? Literally don't even think that's going to matter for Eelektross? Aren't most of the multi-hit moves like, normal or bug type?

Also my Shellgon got Water Veil. lol

I remember when I did a randomized run of one of the gen 5 games (I think it was White 2) and on the first or second route I caught a Regigigas whose ability had conveniently been randomized away to something non-shit. That was rather fun.

Eelektross is great but man the wait for it is going to suck, Tynamo doesn't evolve until a level that is painfully high when it's your starter.

True about the high evolution level. I'd say that a naughty Shellgon was a great first catch, though lol
I just didn't want to risk not getting Ancient Power for Mammoswine, and I just don't like Horsea

The other random encounter on Route 1 was a Vanilluxe and I just got my dick rocked
I made him flinch a few times with bite, then he used icicle spear and took my Shellgon down to 1 HP -- so I swapped in my Tynamo and got rocked by uproar taking damn near half my HP per hit. I barely scraped by without either dying.

And it doesn't evolve until level 39. Without the randomized moveset, Tynamo is close to unusable.

Just fought a Scyther that was CONSIDERABLY easier.

Route 2 Pokemon:

Rash Nincada with Clear Body that I named Toenail. I've never used a Nincada - but this Clear Body ability is pretty great ngl and leech life is putting in a little work.

Woof. I wasn't paying attention and accidentally triggered the fight with my rival without healing up.
First opponent was Smeargle, though lol. After a failed sketch it just struggled. I used that opportunity to heal up Nincada with some leech lifes, then swapped in Shellgon to use Rage and build up some rage for whatever came after. It was a Horsea and luckily two bites took it out.

Wow - so in the Dreamyard I was given a Modest Sigilyph with Air Lock that I named Skyrr (cause like Siggi's yogurt. get it?)

I know I could've gotten a random from the grass, but Sigilyph is a good-un

No.

Route 3 encounter:

Lax Chandelure with Battle Armor I named Lamp. NICE

Wellspring Cave encounter:

Lax Pidgey with Unburden. It's also carrying an Old Gateau?
