Can I Beat NEW *PERFECT CRYSTAL* On My FIRST TRY? (Crystal Legacy Hardcore Nuzlocke)

What's honestly amazing about this hack is that the AI appears to be far smarter but was actually left untouched! We're just seeing how competent gen 2's AI really is now that it's been given well designed teams and movesets to work with.

A tip for anyone looking to get that Larvitar encounter in a Nuzlocke: There are only 4 encounters in Dark Cave and Larvitar has a 4% spawn rate. However, one of the other three has a 1% spawn rate, and the other two are Geodude and Zubat. Both Geodude and Zubat are pretty common, I had a Geodude before even getting to Dark Cave and I Repeled my way through the first floor of Union Cave because the second floor has a 50% chance at Zubat. I got the Zubat encounter and this means I only have two potential encounters in Dark Cave, of which the more common by a significant margin is Larvitar. It also means I'm guaranteed a Slowpoke in the Well so that's cool too. But basically, you can use dupes clause to your advantage to get a Larvitar at the beginning of the run.

That Scyther luck has me on the floor with all those fury cutters

Its such a treat having Ruxin and TheSmithPlays collide in the pokemon sphere. Two of my personal favorite Youtube creators

Funny Story about the Rival and Larvitar: In the Pokémon manga, the rival actually has a Pupitar for a time that was obtained via Lance and then after it evolved it was returned to Lance because he couldn’t control it. Of all Pokémon the Creator gave him, they chose the most fitting Pokémon.

13:56 The reason that Hypnosis missed is that status and debuff moves from the opponent have an innate 25% chance to fail no matter what. As such, Hypnosis will always have a 25% chance to fail, no matter what, MR just buffs it from a 45% chance to hit to a 75% chance

Fun fact for any Call of Duty fans! The guy who made the Rom Hack is in fact THAT smith plays who had 3 million subscribers for his old Zombies channel. He does pokemon and minecraft now

Having pretty much grown up with Crystal as the first Pokemon game that I played competently, seeing this new version was quite possibly the best thing to ever happen. Glad to see you did so well at it and enjoyed it as well.

“Elite four WILL want to fight you.” “Ok. I’ll be coming back then.”

The egg u get from the daycare has a higher shiny chance. Smith left the shiny rate the same as the original.

Great content Rux! KEEP going! This was a great vid and the nuzlocke was gun i feel like trying it myself.

Another banger! Can’t wait for sinnoh or of course VR missions 😉 Keep crushing Rux🙌

Was literally looking for a nuzlocke of this game yesterday, great vid

Killing it man love to see this 🙌

Great video! Keep em coming! ❤

Just found your channel and I love it! Some of my favorite type of Pokémon content, definitely got a new sub

Hey Ruxin! Just wanted to shout out and show some appreciation. Been watching your Yugiman content for awhile now and always look forward to the next videos! Thanks a ton for doing what you do and looking forward to watching this channels content as well~

Mind Reader failed to make Hypnosis hit because of a weird quirk. In Gen 2, the AI's status moves have a 25% chance to miss, not including the chance to miss from the move itself. So Mind Reader only erased the miss chance from Hypnosis itself, not the 25% chance AI modification.

I think you missed counting the Kingler death on Brock's Aerodactyl. Loved the run and commentary though! Great video :)

The GOAT with the quick turnaround from Twitch to YouTube. Is there anything he can't do?
