CAN I BEAT A POKÉMON PLATINUM HARDCORE NUZLOCKE WITH ONLY GHOST TYPES!? (Pokémon Challenge)

It's time for another Pokemon challenge! Platinum with only Ghost types is a super exciting hardcore nuzlocke for me as it's one of the few games in which Ghost types are remotely viable in terms of encounters. Let's see what we can do!

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 Platinum Hardcore Nuzlocke with only Ghost types?

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.

A deathless ghost run would've been wonderfully ironic.

[TheoTungsten]

"This may be the first run without deaths!"

Cynthia: X to doubt.

I fricking love this guy, he not only gives us this great content, but jumps it up right upto Mt. Silver and gives us literal guidebooks. Unmatchable quality. 1million may soon be on its way!

“Guys, the mom is just a bunch of pixels, that’s weird”
*20 minutes later*
“Guys I’m in love with Cynthias mom”

[HarveyMeadowlark]

Silph SPECTRE and ghosts together makes a lot of sense. Maybe your mascot should be a ghostly kingdra. Pretend it’s a regional form from where u live lol

[mr.sheeppeehs]

Normal type move: * exists *
This guy: foolish miscalculation

[ChaoticMeatballTV]

Dang, just starting off the video and the idea of those guidebooks was really slick! Would love to see if you could collect some data from other Poketubers about different types, maybe even make a physical print run for one of these once you have all types covered for a certain game. Great stuff man!

[Skillissue]

The guidebook idea Is so cool and I really appreciate how much you can tell he actually cares about his viewer.
You're awesome man!

[GirtaniaGaming]

I actually chuckled so hard at the 069 zoom on ghastly. im weak.

[brendancosgrave]

Amazing run Silph, mono ghost seemed like great fun and might look into a mono ghost competitive team to try out for singles and doubles.

[rajkanishu]

Not gonna lie, seeing my favorite Pokémon ever clutching the final battle after the rest of the team fainted brought a tear to my eye

[BaconNuke]

"I think we can finally do a deathless nuzlocke for once"
*enters Cynthia's room*

[willfredosauce]

This run should theoretically be much easier in bdsp considering the steel nerfs hurting byron and fairy types like cynthias togekiss losing to sludge bomb haunter

[EOwens-uqzd]

This is my favorite Nuzlocke so far! Love the ghost type and all it's weird strategies. Great job!

[Wildcat]

I'm genuinely wondering why, in the Cynthia battle, when you hit Lucario into obvious heal range you didn't take the opportunity to rest spiritomb? With Stone edge doing how little it was and the chance of missing why you didn't try rest-locking it until pressure stalled out stone edge? I'm not a pro-nuzlocker so I'd really appreciate the insight into the decision.

[oshawott]

Ghost is my favorite type, and that last battle was down to the wire! Keep up the good work.

[RastaRiek]

This was the MOST intense Nuzlock I’ve ever seen. That battle against Cynthia was having me on EDGE!!!

[doubletroublegaming]

“He gets up a sunny day which is bad because his whole team is fire type” yah, no shit 😂

[mattmc]

god your content is so good man one of my favourite pokemon youtubers currently i cant get enough of these hardcore nuzlockes they are so addicting.
