Let's not beat around the bush - Bug types are known as one of the worst types in Pokemon History... but in Pokemon X and Y there's a good variety and some really unique ones to find as potential party members. Can we make the best of what we've got and use them to beat Pokemon Y's hardest challenge?!

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 Y 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.

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 🙏🏻 (you wanted me to remind you 😂😂)
-
I love it when silph describes the entire attack like "S.T.A.B super effective, black belt boosted, 120 power close combat!"
-
Still can't get over the waiter giving you the protect tm right after shauna says that, seems a little TOO intentional😭😭
-
What I loved most about X and Y is that they didn't create too many new mons, so they just brought in pretty much every other one, making almost any replay to be completely unique. Like you can get three dragon types before the second gym, how cool
-
6:55 I personally make an addendum to my runs that if I get a Pokemon that only evolves as a certain gender (Combee, Salazzle, etc), I can reroll it until I get one that's able to evolve. Getting an encounter that's only good 1/8 of the time just isn't fun
-
Silph in the Malva fight: Phew, no crit! George with Shell Armor: Am I a joke to you
-
You could've got a Durant on the route you mentioned the shuckle on and then tried for shuckle or ariados in both Terminus Cave and Victory Road; essentially guaranteeing an extra encounter.
-
Yes!!!! Sundays with Silph's Nuzlockes are the best!! makes working on Sunday a walk in the park 😊
-
Fun fact, there was a tournament with all of the gym leaders, rivals, main antagonists, and champions. There was something over 1000 trainers in it and Viola made it towards the top 8 and Roxanne got second to Cynthia who beat Steven Stone to 3rd. So yeah, it’s surprising but bug types have started to really start to get good.
-
Bro the random bits of comedy are so gold, it’s the little things that make watching these runs enjoyable lmao
-
Benji the Beedrill with the absolute movie-worthy victory! Been waiting this whole damn run for his time to shine after having been the first Pokemon you evolved and taking a backseat to everyone else, then clutches out wins on the final two trainers for the successful run. What a legend!
-
I really appreciate that you show the Pokemon's nature. It's important in Nuzlockes. Great content, Silph.
-
Man George and Vicrtoria were absolutely required for this run to have been possible. Crustle and Heracross for the win!
-
Is no one going to mention how unbelievable that transition from the cornhub intro to the gym was
-
Always love seeing a Crustle put in work!
-
I did a Buglocke of Y a few months ago Ya got no idea how happy this vid made me 🤩
-
Calling Skorupi 'Asshole' was such a nice touch. Hahaha. Love your content, Silph! This is such a wonderful run!
-
9:44 when I think of milotic, I think of Wallace a lot more than Cynthia
-
i actually tried this nuzlocke before using bug types, but sadly i failed completing it. good work on the video silph. 👍👍👍👍
