Hi. I'm nuzlocking this and posting my team and dead pokemon after each gym. I have now beat Flannery, and this is my team:
Mante the Octillery - Level 34
KipperⅡ the Marshtomp - Level 30 (As a note, I do play dupes, but only if said pokemon is in my party or in the alive box. Since my previous Marshtomp is dead, I'm allowed to get another one)
Togy the Maractus - Level 31
Zuko the Charmeleon - Level 31
Apollo the Combusken - Level 30
Peggy the Spoink - Level 31
Flannery was a piece of cake. Not just compared to Brawly and Wattson, but in general. Well I guess I DO have two water types.
Also as you may notice, ever since I've noticed that people are giving me free starters, I started running around talking to those I don't remember from the original Emerald. Which explains Charmeleon, Marshtomp and Combusken.
Oh, one more thing. Donald the Ducklett didn't die. He's just in the PC(the alive box).
RIP:
Ray the Shinx - Level 9 | He died to a Seedot's Bide, on the beach next to Petalburg City.
Joey the Pichu - Level 16 | Died to a Focus Energy and then a fighting move, I can't remember which one, against a gym trainer. He got oneshoted.
Roxanne the Nosepass - Level 18 | Died to that damn Makhuhita and his Knock Off
Kipper the Marshtomp - Level 18 | After Nosepass died, I sent him in, although he had relatively low health as well because he took hits before, and I had no more potions. I thought I could outspeed, and while I DID outspeed, he got 1 HP left and killed him. This sucks, cause the Mudkip line is one of my favs. I also had one named Kipper in Omega Ruby.
Ceecee the Combee - Level 19 | Not much to say here. Another victim of Knock Off. Although I was interested in using a Vespiqueen for the first time.
Leslie the Lombre - Level 18 | Another victim to Knock Off. Like damn, I didn't know Knock Off was this good, to knock out my whole party. Now if only I had put Exim in the party since I caught it, this would have all been avoided. But I already had a grass type and didn't want to get too many Pokemon early on.
Karl the Beedrill - Level 23 | Wattson's Manectric is just too damn strong.
Exim the Exeggcute - Level 23 | Wattson's Manectric again.
Dawn the Prinplup - Level 23 | Had to give him up to heal Linoone, which was my realistically best chance.
Simba the Electrike - Level 23 | Had to give him up too.
Zags the Linoone - Level 25 | My only chance at winning fell too against the Manectric.
Terra the Grotle - Level 23 | He might be resisting electricity, but with almost nothing to deal significant damage to the Manectric, he died too.
Then what happends.... I go to my PC, and all I have is 5 water types, and I'm going up against an Electric Gym Leader. So I had to level everyone up to Level 32 to stand a chance, and even so:
Pearl the Clamperl - Level 32 | She might have died, but she helped me a lot with the Emolga. Clamp and Whirpool had a lasting effect, even after her invitable defeat.
Phoebe the Feebas - Level 32 | Poor Feebas never stood a chance. I thought maybe I could deal at least one bit of damage with Tackle, but it was one shotted before it could do anything.
Diana the Seadra - Level 32 | She sadly died too, but I wouldn't have won without her. Her Octazooka took care of the middle Pokemons (the second and third), but she died to the Manetric. But then because the AI decided to Howl, I managed to get some Octazookas on him from the Octillery and won.
No new deaths in between Wattson and Flanery, luckily.
EDIT UPDATE:
Hi. I'm playing this as a nuzlocke and posting a team and death update after each gym. I have just now beaten Norman. Here's the team that survived:
Apollo the Blaziken - Level 37 | The real MVP. I would have been dead otherwise.
KipperⅡ the Marshtomp - Level 35
Zuko the Charmeleon - Level 35
And that's about it. Yeah, there have been deaths that I'll go into details in the RIP section.
But I still have Pokemon in the PC, so it's fine. Also there are two Hoopa portals I saw lying around that required Strenght, which I now have.

Togy the Maractus - Level 35 | Norman's Buffalount was really difficult to deal with. Blaziken ended up killing it, but I had to be carefull cause its moves caused a lot of damage. I went into Togy thinking I could maybe put him to sleep, but turns he out he has a ability that prevents that.
Mante the Octillery - Level 35 | Manteee! One of the only two survivors of the Wattson massacre, and he's dead too. He couldn't stand a chance to that Bouffalount either.
Peggy the Grumpig - Level 35 | She had only just evolved :( I had to give her up to heal Blaziken, cause he was my only chance due to the fighting type, but it had low health and I had to.
