I Tried a Pokémon SoulSilver Hardcore Nuzlocke With ONLY Ice Types! [JOHTO]

Ice types are very hard to come by in the main series games, usually only being available in the later stages of one's playthrough. With that said, what if we got access to the full spectrum of Ice encounters in the Johto portion of Pokemon SoulSilver... could they beat the game's hardest challenge - a hardcore nuzlocke with only Ice 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 SoulSilver Hardcore Nuzlocke with only Ice 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.

With winter fast approaching, I figured what better way to get into the holiday spirit than taking on one of my favorite games with only Ice Types! What's YOUR favorite Ice Type Pokémon?

[itsmekeys]

Love it dude, getting an editor was probably your best business investment so far. keep them coming.

[Dadidl]

You gradually going from calling Cindy this "hideous thing" to ending with her being a "feminine icon" to you is character growth I loved to see haha

[danielbrown]

LOVE LOVE LOVE the new editing style, with all of the sound effects added and everything!
absolute level up in your content silph, and I couldn't be happier about it :)
also Ice types are AWESOME

[muantea]

Silph coming in clutch! I was searching for some new nuzlockes to watch 😆 let's goooo

[Aster_Iris]

16:22 Can't believe Silph just outed himself as a Ralts pretending to be a human behind the screen. Wholesome you were able to have your mom make a cameo though.

I recently discovered your channel and have been devouring all the old challenges, so seeing a new one posted today was great! Perfectly seasonal, thank you!

[RedDragonForce]

You can just directly give money to your mom and THEN battle one trainer to get the next item in the list.

[alexisestebanriveracuevas]

man! i love the new video format! keep it going silph! only one thing...i miss the "if i had one", that always crack me up.

[nythrius]

"We're in crit range"
Except your Cloyster has shell armor. . .

[rubadub]

Love the music selections.
Also holy moly you are ridiculously lucky in this run!

[Psyche_Of_Tay]

Hmm..Silph, I've honestly lost count for the number of times your Pokemon have survived on red against Falkner whenever you do a HGSS nuzlocke. Also, gotta hand it to you for using a single Pokemon, and Smoochum of all, with the level cap intact, to get through FOUR gyms. Like. Wow. Absolutely mind-blowing.

[ivanbluecool]

Wish all these event Pokemon were not temporary and a free download after the fact. Make these games all replayability active

[anonymerdude]

No way. No you didnt just finished Gen4 Johto with Ice Types. You are Nuts

[greysalt]

Yes, please, we need more!
Great video as always! What a performance from that Jynx.. Actually hard to believe this was possible considering the rouuuugghhhh start!

[QuinnCoulombe]

Wow, from start to finish, who knew Cindy would be such a monster 😳

[kazekamiha]

I have to wonder if Repel manipulation would have avoided the Delibird.

[fruitpunchsamuraidavid]

Favorite Ice Type is definitely Mamoswine, one I'm all about ground types and 2 my first ever full odds shiny was Pilloswine in Platinum on the route where you climb to Lake Acuity

[fittedd]

I’ve never been here so early… any Arbok fans in the house?? 🐍

[DrFoggyPants]

Editing got a pretty good upgrade. Feels a lot more alive which is great.

Btw, couldn't you just have repel tricked so you were guaranteed to get Swinub? From what I can tell it can appear as 1 lvl lower than Delibird on any floor
