Halfcadence's Ultimate Muzzlocke Challenge
(First thing's first: I didn't come up with this on my own. The concept is lifted from some of the optional rules from the first Communitylocke, organized by Reddit user Mattersofdarkness)

Welcome to what I'm calling a Muzzlocke (or Muzzle-locke, if you prefer. I think it's really clever) Also, subsequently, welcome to my slow descent into madness.......
Alright, so, core Nuzlocke rules apply here. The new part is that in gyms and during the E4, neither offensive nor defensive type advantage is to be used. This results in deeper strategy, hyper-specialized teams, and a f**kton of grinding. I might die.
I will have a infosheet for each run that I organize through Google Docs that will track progess. I will also post videos when I can of gym leaders and the like, in lieu of proper written updates.
Official Ruleset:
(core rules lifted from the Nuzlocke thread)
-Any Pokémon that faints is considered dead, and must be death-boxed
-Only the first encounter on each route can be caught
-Gift Pokemon aren't special, route roules still apply
-Trading is banned [in-game trades and trade evolutions are fine]
-Battle Style on SET
-No Legendaries
-Species Clause
-Pinwheel Clause (new area namecard = new route/catch)
-Shiny Clause
-No O-Powers
-No Pokemon Amie / Refresh
-No Mega Evolutions / Z-Crystals
-No super-effective moves may be used on gym trainers, gym leaders, trial captains, totem Pokemon, kahunas, Elite Four members, or champions.
-No Pokemon that resist/are immune to the thematic type of the gym/E4 member/etc may be used. Resisting secondary types or coverage moves is permitted
-Levels are capped at that of the next gym leader's/kahuna's/champion's ace.
For now I'm gonna do this for the first 5 gens. I'll see how I feel after that. I'm starting with LeafGreen.
