* In his Japanese White 2 version (which he used to write the walkthrough), he uploaded the Elite Four and Champion on Challenge Mode. There were two [=CMoAs=] in the Champion battle: first, Iris' Hydreigon OHKO's his Crobat while confused, with a critical hit Dragon Pulse. After knocking it out, his Serperior sets up Reflect, only for her Aggron to speed up with Autotomize, and break through it with a critical hit, knocking it out. He then revives it, and after doing a little less than half its health with Giga Drain, he then scores a critical hit with Leaf Blade and knocks it out just before his Reflect wears off. The second one is when his Metagross gets an attack boost with Meteor Mash against her Lapras, then sweeps her team with it (surviving her last one with 18 or so HP).

* As if fighting [[BonusBoss Red]] under the normal Wedlocke restrictions was hard enough, Marriland imposes an ''additional'' one for the fight: he can only use as many healing items as Red does. [[spoiler: Not only does he win despite this, he ends up using one Full Restore ''less'' than Red, beating him with only 3 item uses for the entire fight.]]

-->Cauliflower (Dewgong): As a Seel, tanks Ho-Oh with Water Sport and Thick Fat, allowing it to take Sacred Fire and Fire Blast like nothing. It even survives a critical hit ExtraSensory with 9 HP, and knocks out Ho-Oh in three hits of Waterfall (the last one while burned, to boot).

* Heck, the fact that he's gone through the first five badges so far with ''only one death'' (that was due to [[LuckBasedMission Horn Drill]], so it wasn't even his fault) is a [=CMoA=] itself! Keep in mind that in this Nuzlocke, he's doing this without the use of items, the battle style on Set (which means he can't switch out a Pokemon before the opponent does) AND with the limitation that his Pokemon's levels [[{{Cap}} cannot go beyond the next Gym Leader's highest level. That and he refuses to look up the foes or moves of any of his opponents.]]

[[AC:[[VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon Pokémon Sun Nuzlocke Revenge Stream]]]]
* After his original Sun Nuzlocke series in 2016/17 ended in a brutal failure against the Elite Four, he started this series up on stream, with significantly harder rules[[note]]one healing item per Pokémon per battle, not being able to use any damaging Z-Moves, and no Dupes Clause, even, leaving him stuck with multiples of Pokémon like Yungoos and Wingull[[/note]]. And managed to survive in the end, doing significantly better with only four deaths for quite a bit of the game, with the first fight against Guzma giving him his last death until the final Gladion fight. He ended with six deaths, the last being against Kukui's Primarina, thanks to the right strategizing and getting things he needed to happen at the right moments.

* Getting Lasagna, a pokémon with THREE perfect [=IVs=], off of a random wild encounter. Without breeding for RNG manipulation, the odds of a pokémon getting three perfect [=IVs=] are 1 in 32768. To add to the awesomeness, the Nuzlocke rules limit the number of captures to one per area, and he was lucky enough to get this as his FIRST ENCOUNTER.

** Finally, to top it all off, against Lance, Spinach hits ''twice in a row'' with Blizzard against the Dragonites without Hail, OHKO'ing them both. It gets a little awkward against the Aerodactyl when he misses with Blizzard and drops to 0 PP and then is forced to use Struggle thanks to holding Choice Specs, but his entire team still escapes all alive.

* Sephazon had a moment of awesome as well with Batman.[[note]]Batman the Golbat, who was caught last moment in the stream, took out a level 53 Venusaur at full health, with a +3 SpA boost from Growth, while only at level 26.[[/note]] The battle video can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6x9jEn-tAA

* He accidently ends up fighting Cilan underleveled, and still manages to win with ''no deaths'' in spite of Lilipup spamming Work Up. Even better, he used his starter and Lilipup pair for the fight, which means he didn't use his elemental monkey at all! [[spoiler: [[HopeSpot Sadly his moment of triumph was to be short lived...]]]]

* In Episode 25, [[spoiler: Though Quail ends up dying to a trainer's Excadrill, he founght ''extremely'' hard. With most of its attacks being resised or doing little damage, Quail managed to bring Excadrill's health low enough for his partner Wren to finish it off, by activating Quick Claw three times and surviving two Hone Claws-boosted Rock Slides, once with only ''2 HP'' left. If he hadn't held on that long, his partner would have certainly died too.]]

* During the battle against Marlon, Polka repeatedly dissapoints by only hitting twice with Bullet Seed and Rock Blast, and she nearly dies when a rain-boosted Scald does a huge amount of damage and burns. With Bergamask on low HP and burned too, Marriland is forced to rely on her for Jelicent.

She proceeds to hit four times... ''two of which are Critical Hits!'' This wins the battle and saves the pair.]]

** What makes this even more awesome is that what he had left were two lone females, Starburst the Gyarados and Pop Rocks the Golem. Starburst gets a special mention for not only '''''living two separate electric attacks''''' in the Elite Four battles (despite have a 4x weakness to it), but for soloing '''''Dransa and Diantha'''''!

[[AC:[[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Pokémon Yellow Sleeplocke]]]]
* Marriland ends the series in an amazingly unexpected way: despite [[spoiler: losing to Mewtwo]], he decides to have the four main Pokemon of his Sleeplocke team ''battle against the main four from his original Yellow Adventure''. With the Twitch chat "controlling" the Sleeplocke team by voting on which moves to use. Yes, Marriland challenges all his fans to a battle. The battle itself was pretty awesome too, being extremely tense and close right up to the end, even featuring [[spoiler: a 1/256 miss!]] The fact that Marriland managed to coordinate all this while extremely sleep-deprived is awesome in and of itself.

[[AC:[[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver Pokémon Crystal Sleeplocke]]]]

JUST HEAL THEM!!!" when he releases his deceased, suggesting those people read the rules of the Wedlocke.]]

Then he proceeded to do basically the same thing five months later, except with Minun (see above).
