Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are here... but can we beat their ULTIMATE CHALLENGE!? Pokemon Diamond and Pearl were some of my favorite games, and now that the remakes have released I'm excited! But might they be an even harder challenge for a hardcore nuzlocke? Let's find out!

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 Brilliant Diamond Hardcore Nuzlocke with only Water 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 trading/importing Pokémon, Items, etc.

    That's right - the remakes are here! Wanted to get this video up on release weekend for you guys to add to the hype, so I hope you enjoy and make sure to Subscribe if you haven't to help us reach our 200k goal! :_SilphKing::_SilphHype:
  • I do enjoy seeing all my fave poketubers getting swept by Cynthia in the new games. They really made her the monster everyone remembers her as.
  • @alexgenel4932
    The switch overheating on the fire type E4 is so appropriate. The foe's pokemon used overheat! it fucked up the arena!
  • @matthewhaynes509
    Dialga: tell me, where is Gandalf, for I much desire to speak with him. Silph: An Abomasniw from Morgoth
  • @flamenny9936
    Words cannot explain how much I've missed Sinnoh, it just feels bittersweet being there again
  • Lucky man, seeing you capture Marill in your challenge yet mine ran away after a 3 shake breakout on the first turn has me literally fuming.
  • @aria_rossi3201
    The reason why Golduck survived is because of affection. In this game, when pokemons have max affection they sometimes survive at 1hp, or heal themselves from status... the only way to prevent this is to give them the bitter herbs
  • @cterjesen
    I love the fact that the important trainers are actually a challenge in these games. Also, that one double battle with the Gyarados in the rain that tends to catch people unaware. Brutal for any nuzlocker! I love it!
  • @Polydueces
    Ooh, you should play with only dual-type Pokémon and none of the types can match. So if you have a team of 5, you should have 10 unique types between them! That might just be fun and not... hard. I don't know.
  • @RedMadMichael
    Rough, the second failed water type BD run I've seen and you can really tell that the trainers were buffed quite a lot.
  • @mariusweber4990
    I'm happy to see Sinnoh + a Silph video, but that chibi style is really not my thing. It feels so weird to see a chibi running around, switching to normal, good-looking models for a battle, and then switching back to chibi models, especially if it's multiple short battles on a route or something.
  • Octilery is honnestly one of my favorite water types I use it any chance i can and it never dissapoints Edit: I'm so happy to see that Cynthia is still a challenge to everyone still and had most nuzlockers wipe to her, we asked for a hard game and we got it
  • I was so confused why I was getting hit so hard by random trainers and gym leaders. I had a special defensive hippopatas and it was one shot by a stab shadow ball haunter. Makes sense if they have actual evs and what not, but come one 160 health with 100 Spdef and this thing still gets one shot.
  • You should definitely do an Alpha Sapphire run with only grass types! There’s a ton of great different Pokémon and there’s tons of features in the game to make catching Pokémon more exciting!
  • @Thecodered75
    Absolutely love a new upload from Silph. Made my entire morning so much better.
  • @Samuel313991
    Oh my god. Not only did you do a mono water run but IT'S ALSO IN SINNOH Props to you man, you're a god Edit: I was actually ready too watch you lose against Cynthia because I knew what was coming, but I gotta say I thought it would be against Garchomp. I lost to her myself 7 times and I loved it.

    This run hits home. My first run at Pokémon was with Empoleon and I was too young to understand to balance my team, had no internet and understood basically no English. That led to my Empoleon basically being overleveled while my highest other pokemon were ones I caught on Victory Road. At the Elite Four I could not figure out how to beat them as I didn't really know all type weaknesses. I ended up giving up, resetting the game and starting over with Turtwig with who I breezed through the game. Now it's tough to see Empoleon still not reach that hall of fame.
