Ground types are very powerful physically, but their special stats and speed are quite terrible. With that said, what if we got access to the full spectrum of Ground encounters in Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver... could they beat the game's hardest challenge - a hardcore nuzlocke with only Ground types?

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 HeartGold Hardcore Nuzlocke with only Ground 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.

Appreciate all the support guys! Just in case you didn't see it, we also did our first nuzlocke in a fangame last week; check the channel if you're interested in watching! :_SilphKin

    45:50 there's some poetry in the fact that the first gym leader red ever faced gave you the tool you needed to best him.
  • @nate_freeman18
    Just something I wanted to point out: in the cliff cave you can actually repel manipulate encounters to get a Steelix, you just make sure a Pokémon at level 23 is at the front of your party which I can understand if you couldn’t do it
  • @MadameTeqi
    Ground type is high among my favorite, and heart gold and soul silver speak for themselves as the most incredible games in the franchise. I'm so excited to see this one!
  • @melzbellz7768
    Donphan has always been one of my favorite ground types from gen 2
  • @LAZERAK47V2
    WOW dude. Giving props to Giddy, Entity and the Nidos at the end, but straight up NOT acknowledging Ric completely invalidating your team's biggest weakness? #JusticeforRic
  • @seldomsane5278
    Just want to give a shout out to the grinding you do for these vids. Whether it be the game corner, EV training or just getting your pokemon leveled to Red's pokemon, the work you put in is next level. As always, cheers for the content.
  • @marsella527
    Starting the playthrough with that Oak joke...? I'm sold
  • gliscor is one of the most underrated mons of all time imo, especially for a nuzlocke.
  • @mikeb4828
    Yes!!!!!.... I been waiting for another silph upload, Lord Arceus answered, lol 😂❤
  • @Vesdus
    The naming convention is Mad Max! This one was a bit harder than the others, but People Eater and Rockatan really gave it away to me.
  • @MoreSystemSilver
    Isn’t the level cap for Pryce 34 not 35, but I can’t blame, jhoto level curve is wierd
  • @ers5255
    You can get Onix before Falkner - you must catch Bellsprout and teade it in house near PokeCenter. IDK if it's eligible encounter for you.
  • The Golem line is one of the best early game pokemon you can obtain. Strong against Falkner, Bugsy and Jasmine, also a female geodude with rock smash and defense curl is good against whitney. In Kanto is good agaisnt Brock, Surge and Blaine
  • @choppertheman302
