    • Nuzlocke Challenge

    Hey I'm starting kinda new to PokeCommunity. I've had my account for the last four years but haven't really posted or made a thread. I was hoping to get some suggestions for Nuzlocke Variant Challenge on my Pokemon Platinum. I would love to know what rules you use for a Nuzlocke Run.

    Click to expand...

    For normal rules, there's really only three of them.

    1. Any Pokémon that faints is considered dead, and must be released (or boxed).
    2. Only the first encounter on each route can be caught, no second chances.
    3. Trading is completely banned, but trading for the purpose of evolution is perfectly fine.

    You can add in optional things to make things harder on yourself if you want to, but that's up to you. As for locke variants, you could do a monotype locke where you only use mons of one type, a Wedlocke run, in which yu could always check the Wedlocke Challenge thread for details on that one. Then there's m personal favorite, the randomizer nuzlocke. Sure, you'll have to be using an emulator for this one, so if you're using the physical copy, then you'll have to skip out on that one.

    There's also the Eliminationlocke, where you pick six mons and can only use those six, so it kinda cancels out one of the traditional locke rules in which you can only catch the first encounter. Anyway, there are probably more locke varients out there, but the ones I mentioned are the more common ones.

    And just so I'm staying on topic, I'm working on my next update.

    Version: SoulSilver
    Single/Ultimate?: Single

    Rules of Engagement:
    - Nickname all Pokemon Caught.
    - black/white out is a GG.
    - Dupe Clause is in effect
    - Shiny pokemons are exempted from the area-capture clause

    Let' begin! BTW, I decided to play the normal soul silver game after trying to nuzlocke Drayano's Storm Silver. I got wiped thrice on three different playthroughs. The first with Faulkner's Fartfetch'd of destruction (I had no type coverage for his birds), the second time with my rival Tomato in Azalea with a freaking Hidden Power Earthquake Bayleef and the last time on Bugsy's gym with his Heracross that countered my poor Manda the Arbok. I considered trying again but after looking at nuzlocke's of Storm Silver I decided it's a game that cannot be beat while playing nuzlocke so I'm back with the original game. Sorry, I'm a wimp.

    • That Lucky Egg is sounding nicer by the day. For now, I endured the Audino grinding, got a new team member ready, and now it's time to destroy Elesa.

    • I am about to a Nuzlocke Run on my Pokemon Yellow but instead of catching one Pokemon per route I can only use Pokemon you get as gifts. So the only Pokemon I can use will be the Pikachu, the Charmander, Bulbasaur and Squirtle lines, Aerodactyl, Eevee, Lapras, Hitmonchan or Hitmonlee and Omanyte or Kabuto. Hopefully i can make it past Pewter Gym without losing. Will have to grind to get Pikachu to level 20 before i can attempt Pewter Gym

    • Just beat Brock with my Pikachu on my Giftlocke run on Pokemon Yellow.
    My Pikachu was Level 17. It knows Thundershock, Quick Attack, Tail Whip and Double Team. When I battled Brock I maxed out Pikachu's evasion with Double Team then lowered the defense of Brock's Pokemon with Tail Whip then attacked with Quick Attack
