Annnnnnnnnnnnd I pretty much made sure I could get any encounter ahah
This is what I did, I went to Cherrygrove City to catch a Magikarp in the water. View attachment 597800
So then, I went to Route 27 to catch:
Route 27: Chinchou (Hoku) PROTECT THIS ELECTRIC FISH FOR THE A LIFE OF ME
So my next plan to was to get Slowpoke in Tohji Falls, but because a Raticate didn’t let me leave, I automatically killed it, not realising it before too late, and now I can’t get Slowpoke at all, which is really sad because I really wanted to try Slowking out for the Nuzlocke. Crumbs.

Route 26: Sandslash (Andrew)

Sadly killed Onix in Victory Road, the one pokemon I wanted DX man i really wanted to try out steelix too X

Anyways, I have a full list of my pokemon and their moves/stats etc. Gawd I have no many pokemon, I haven't done any primo eggs as that's not so sure if I need it.

omg that was a pain to type out.
Honestly, there are a few I won't be using.
But for instance, I really wanna try and use Chinchou, or Dratini and Gliscor! I kinda wanna keep Quagsire in the party because there's like ONE pokemon in the whole elite that has explosion. And I would very much like to avoid that. I also wanna try out Horsea.
But I am gonna try and research things before I choose~

Woah, that's an impressive lineup! I'd definitely go for either Dratini or Dewgong on your team. I have a feeling it'll be really helpful in the champion battle. Crobat is another option that could be helpful, considering its speed and type advantages against some of the E4 Pokemon. Whatever you do decide to end up using, I'm sure it'll be an amazing combination!

Update on my Pokemon Violet Wonderlocke/Surpriselocke!

A LOT happened since last time. I ended up challenging the Dark team crew and won. Then I took a detour to Kitakami in the DLC and met the based boi Kieran once again. Did some battles there and then came back. Took on the Levincia City gym after my shiny Gastly evolved into a Haunter and then a Gengar. Defeated Iono. Then I took on the Lurking Steel Titan and won easily thanks to my newly evolved Pelipper. Took on the Fire team crew during this time as well and won easily thanks to my shiny Quaxwell and Pelipper. Last, but certainly not least, my Flaaffy evolved into an Ampharos and I defeated gym leader Kofu easily thanks to that and the move Volt Switch (plus Terastallization). During all of this I got some neat trades as well. Acquired an Eevee, Hisuian Zorua, Charmander, AND a level 35 Snover with Adamant nature and Ground Tera. I have those four boxed for now though as I really can't bring myself to switch out anyone in my party.

My shiny Shuppet is the only mon left on team that isn't fully evolved, but it's close at only a couple levels away. When I next play I'll most likely take on the Poison team crew. Until then!

Update on my Pokemon Violet Wonderlocke/Surpriselocke!

A lot happened since last time. I took on the Poison team crew and won. Then I made my way to the Medali City gym. On the way there, my shiny Gengar, Asta, and my Pelipper both died to a Pokemon that was too high level for my team (kind of forgot there's some trainers there that really shouldn't be), but thankfully my shiny Quaquaval, Dreamy, took it out finally and minimized the deaths. I took on the Medali City gym and won easily thanks to Dreamy, and then made my way to the Montenevera City gym. During this time one of my new trade Pokemon, a shiny Chimchar named wreythe.shop, evolved into a Monferno and then Infernape. Joker, my shiny Shuppet, evolved into a Banette. And last, but certainly not least, my Snover evolved into an Abomasnow. I taught them Tera Blast so that Abomasnow can make use of its Ground Tera type. Took on the gym and defeated Ryme pretty easily.

It's unfortunate that Asta and Pelipper both got sent to the netherworld, but not the worst thing that could have happened. When I next play I'll be taking on the Quaking Earth Titan, followed by the Alfornada City gym. Until then!

FINAL update on my Pokemon Violet Wonderlocke/Surpriselocke challenge!

I ended up defeating the Quaking Earth Titan and Tulip from Alfornada City gym. Joker the shiny Banette almost fainted because I forgot her Espathra has Shadow Ball, but thankfully he tanked it and survived. Then I went on to defeat the Glaseado City gym as well. With the level cap not being restricted with all 8 badges, I was able to obtain a shiny level 100 Ceruledge from surprise trade (although I'm pretty sure it's hacked). Decided to use it since I was going by the gym badges anyway for level restrictions on my challenge.

I then took on and got the last three badges from the False Dragon Titan, the Team Star Fairy Crew, and the Team Star Fighting Crew. Then I took on the Pokemon League and did everything else required to enter Area Zero. I actually ended up SWEEPING both Nemona and Arven's teams using only my shiny Quaquaval named Dreamy, due in large part to having its HA Moxie and spamming Aqua Step. Then I went into Area Zero and cleared all the battles, and then completed the story. Turo wasn't that bad, although my Abomasnow could have fainted had his Iron Jugulis's Flamethrower left it with a burn, but it didn't. By defeating Turo I completed the challenge, meaning I have now completed a Pokemon Nuzlocke/Wonderlocke/Surpriselocke in every generation of Pokemon.

I still have to resume and finish my Pokemon Insurgence Soul Link Randomizer Nuzlocke with my friend, but after that I probably won't be doing any more challenges for awhile. Until then!

while not a nuzlocke, one of my favorite teams I've ever used was my mono-electric team in Platinum. I beat the game, and I remember how hyped I was. My team was Biz the Pachirisu, Tenno the Jolteon, Ordis the Magnezone, Limbo the Rotom, Eudico the Luxray, and Thursby the Electivire. I remember facing Cynthia. Her last Pokemon, Roserade, was on low health. My last Pokemon, Thursby, was on low health. Roserade was faster but Thursby had the quick claw. All I needed was one more ice punch... and Quick Claw popped, winning me the game.
I love doing mono-type team runs, but that Platinum team is my favorite. They all did incredible. Biz the Pachi was for sure the weakest link, but all of them are special to me.

Pokemon Insurgence Soul Link Randomizer Nuzlocke, FINAL UPDATE: WHAT'S WITH ALL THESE MEGA DIANCIES?!?

A LOT happened since I last updated this challenge, but I got the last gym badge, took on the main villain of the game, and then went past the Nexa Border to take on the Pokemon League. It's really funny because the E4 battles and Champion Reukra got progressively easier the further I advanced. And for some reason BOTH TWO of the Elite Four members and the Champion, Reukra, were randomized to send out Mega Diancie. Thankfully my Registeel was more than up to the task of defeating them, however.

With my friend and I completing the E4 and defeating Champion Reukra with no casualties, we hereby WON the challenge!!!

This is probably the last time in a good while I'll be doing a Pokemon Challenge, but I had a ton of fun with it along the way. Thanks for reading, and see ya next time!
