Sapphire, My First Nuzlocke: Twitter feed catch-up

Now to get everyone on the same page with my Nuzlock by reposting what I've posted on my Twitter feed here.

3rd Town of game:

After much hesitation I decided to finally to try a Nuzlock run. It's been going real smooth so far with 3 party members & no deaths.  Granted there have been close calls but I've been very careful with my Pokemon's health so far in case of the "stupid crit." situation.  I'm also trying a healing rule I made up, I only get free heals at the Pkm Center first time I go into a new town & when I catch a new Pkm.  ...after that I have to toss a Potion in order to use one. I'm not counting home as a Pkm Center so I will admit I was abusing that. :P

Team:
Tin Timber the Treeco
Madmchomp the Poocheyna
Zip'd the Wurmple

Deaths: 0

Right outside Petaburg Woods:

**** Swellow and it's Focus Energy and having Peck. RIP MadmChop, I tried my best to keep you alive, but your sacrifice was not in vain. :( 

The worst part about MadmChomp's death is I knew Poocheyna was frail and hard to keep alive from the beginning and I was doing great having her win battles without pushing her too hard. I was on the edge of my seat a lot but she never fell in danger of dieing...

then that trainer just had to use a high level Tallow on me. With half my team, including my starter being weak to peck, it would of been a miracle if everyone made it out alive. I was swapping between a lot of Pokemon just to keep everyone alive. It basically came down to the point of either risk having Zip'd died to it's peck or send out MadmComp to tank the hit while I healed my starter... however the jerk decided to do quick attack instead and I think it was a critical too.

Though without MadmChomp's sacrifice, either Zip'd or my starter wouldn't of made it through the battle, and for this MadmComp shall be honored. Was hoping I could get her into being a Mighteyna but alas faith wouldn't allow it. RIP once more MadmChomp.

On the brightside, Mr.Pickup did picked up a nugget so that should take care of me in relation to my healing rules for a very long time.

In case you're wondering, my team so far is.
Tin Timber the Treecko Lv.10
Zip'd the Cascoon Lv.7
Mr.Pickup the Zigazagoon Lv.7

Deaths: 1

And I made it outside Petalburg Woods, though I'm not going to being leaving Route 1 anytime soon, especially if I'm going to be grinding while watching a stream I would need total concentration for any Pokemon stronger than that. Even now I got to be careful my Pokemon don't get lower than Green health in the process.

Well I'm done watching the stream. In the process I caught a Shromish from Petaburg Woods and basically got everyone expect Tin Timber to Lv.9 , Tin Timber is already at Lv.10.

I think after this, I'm gonna going to try and go through Petaburg Woods and then call it a night. Mr. Pickup picked up a couple Super Potions during the grinding so I think I'll be good with the healing items for at least a little while.

Team:
Tin Timber Lv.10
Zip'd Lv. 9
Mr. Pickup Lv. 9
Funghiness the Shroomish Lv. 9

Deaths: 1
Actually got the idea for Funghiness while I was hanging out in the stream chat. :P
