Video Overview & Insights

Can I beat a Pokemon Hardcore Nuzlocke challenge in Sword and Shield using only Steel types?

With all the amazing ones to pick from, I still have to go with Empoleon. Elegant and regal as ever!

I NEED HELP!!
I've been trying to do a sword nuzlock but when i lose a pokemon in the late game i struggle a lot to find a new replacement and grind it up to match the other team members, is there anything else that gives a lot of exp besides raids?

33:40 Oh, a full commitment to the bit is what Antler was thinking of. He knows the game and he’s gonna play it. He knows the puns and so do I.

Limp Bizkit being used as a name (on one of my favorite Pokemon no less) triggers me in ways I didn't know was possible.

@SelBoi

My favorite steel type has to be alolan sandslash

@feelbetter9681

Full rickroll from Rose fight coz he never gives up

@maggieyang5196

I really wanna see you a nuzlocke with baby pokemon

@Skizzzit

You should do hardcore hardcore nuzlockes, where you aren’t allowed to heal at all, including out of battle. Mandatory heals from Hop and stuff are allowed

@Makaloo978

Ngl after trying digimon story time stranger, pokemon feels like a dollar store game now. That digimon game is so elite

@theyusane668

Uh not tryna sound like a nerd or anything but you could have got a dusk stone in Stow-On-Side

@Bigdude1030

Dusk stone is also behind the poke centre in stow on side

@calebturpin334

Is it just me, or have I seen two different thumbnails ? 😂 one with lucario and one with aigeslash

@theonlyjesse.d

There's a lot of good Steel types, but if I had to pick a favorite it'd be Bastiodon. I love the design yes, but my favourite aspect of it is the cry. It's so frickin' cool.

@jinn8465

0:00 you forgot flying

@TuberYang-l9f

One eyed symbolism go !

@samcass7621

26:16 I just saw your steelix’s name 🤘favorite song?

@YTUBE508

Now that you beat Sword and Shield as a nuzlocke with every single type, you should try and do more monotype nuzlockes for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon again.
It's been a couple of years since your last USUM monolocke (I think it was the one where you used only Fighting types). It'd be cool to see you do more of them!
By the way, the way you rickrolled us near the end of the video was just absolutely diabolical. Oh my god.

@clothieredward

22:26 that’s the LAST time I watch one of your videos while running on a treadmill I almost passed out trying to breathe while laughing to hard 🤣🤣🤣

@layachaz7318

I used to enjoy nuzlockes but like, the games are so easy its not that interesring.

@regalgiant1597

@marshallwAI

Beo just casually sacked off his starter

@NotTheWerewolf

Tbh, in the long run scizor is discount durant, not the opposite

@nunocarvalho6671

i literally watched every episode and still waiting for more

@michatarasinski8574

Did you know that the Dusk stone was in Stow-on-Side behind the poke center so you could have evolved doblade much earlier than here 18:00

@Boshwick-k6y

Not picking up Ferroseed is kinda a L ngl
