My first Nuzlocke victim... :(
2 years ago
General
*** Direct from the keyboard of Jeeves the Bunny, providing literary lewdness for the furry fandom to enjoy. ^^ ***
So I have commenced my first ever Nuzlocke, using Pokemon Scarlet.
I made it to the first gym, and challenged it without doing any extra grinding/levelling as I was worried about being overlevelled. Turns out the gym leader mons were basically levelled the exact same as my team, so... it was already gonna be a challenge.
Budgie, my Hopip, took out the first two mons on his own using Aerial Ace which I'd only just recently taught him. Then they sent out their Terastal pokemon, Teddiursa, and I thought... ooh, well, Hopip being part flying will cancel out the supereffective bug moves.
Except I forgot that when you terastal your own pokemon, they become monotype despite retaining any STAB bonuses from multityping. So, Budgie gets hit by a super effective critical hit Fury Cutter, and... RIP Budgie, gone too soon. ;-;
Thankfully my starter, Della Duck, was able to use a wing attack to finish off the Teddiursa and claim vengeance. But this first wound has made me all the more determined not to let other members of my team fall!! I will not make that rookie typing error again, and will be more careful to ensure my pokemon are levelled appropriately well (not overlevelled, but not necessarily 'just' matching them for future gyms.
Gonna go seek out a couple more pokemon now before heading for gym 2. My team only had 5 when I got to gym 1, so now I'm back down to four. Definitely wanna have a solid 6 before I face anyone else tough. :o
