Other very popular non-Nuzlocke challenge is Time Warp, where your types to choose from are limited based on time periods like Egyptian Era, Ancient Rome, The Post- Apocalyptic Future and more. Another one is called Trainer Personality Examination, where you'll be assigned 3 Pokémon and few missions based on a survey. Then there are many challenges based on some TV shows like Alfheim Online or Steven Universe. There are also few challenges created when some Pokémon game were announced like Let's GO or Galar Football Championship. Those take some aspect of new games and put them in older titles. I hope you'll find challenge best suited for you and have fun. |

I'm actually almost finished with the Time Era challenge (Pirate Golden Age in OR). The reason I didn't sign up since I don't like to keep a log of everything I do. Same thing with the Trainer Personality Exam. Alfheim Online and Steven Universe challenges seem interesting, and I like how ALO challenge has a small format for updates instead of making you write a whole chapter for each badge. Let's GO seems like it restricts your team too much. Galar Football seems really cool. I'll probably sign up soon. Thanks! |
Here's a Challenge,
Beat Gen 1 with a single Mewtwo, but it can only use Psywave (A move that can be powerful, but is mostly unreliable) |

Fair Point. I'm more curious of how chaotically frustrating the run would be. It'd be fun to see Pikaspray or Mah-Dry-Bread do it, but I wouldn't wanna try lol

I don't know if anyone is willing to commit to reviving something like this, but this Egg Salad was by far my favorite challenge: https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=255975
tldr: one person or the previous person creates 6 eggs for someone, and there is a condition to each of the 6 team members. |

So I just completed a Nuzlocke on White today, and that had me wondering, with certain games having the hyper foes everyone knows are tough, like Cynthia’s Garchomp and Ghetsis’ Hydreigon (in BW, of course). They’re very strong and have seen quite a few adventures denied completion at those hands. So, for those who HAVE completed Nuzlockes or Wedlockes in these games, I’m curious - how did you defeat them?
In the White Nuzlocke in question, I had Umbridge, my Reuniclus, burn his Cofagrigus’ Full Restore after a critical hit Psychic got him to 1 HP, and weaken him again before I brought in Rocket, my Haxorus, who got in a Dragon Dance with ease as I gave it a Pecha Berry to say screw you to his Toxic, then picked him off. Hydreigon came next and was promptly destroyed. I was on Set mode with three healing items per battle. In my Platinum Nuzlocke I’m also doing, I have eight Pokémon in rotation, but none of them have a particular advantage for Garchomp. Maybe I’ll end up pulling something out by then. I haven’t had a death since Jupiter which is pretty amazing really. |
i haven't done a standard challenge in so long, i can hardly remember the strategies i put forward in fighting those mega-trainers. i haven't been playing pokemon as regularly as i did in years prior, but i have started to implement some levels of challenge into my standard gameplay, like no items in battle.
also this year i've been watching youtubers like johnstone and mah-dry-bread take on challenges. and i'm like man that's so wild. i've been doing pokemon challenges just on my own since i was a kid, i coulda made some videos??? ahaha. i have some old videos of me doing the favorites challenge in black that are probably still on youtube but listed privately. and hardly even challenges bc i know my ass was using items. but still, it's neat to see challenges other than the nuzlocke get some play, like professor oak's challenge, solo runs, traded pokemon only, etc. i really enjoy that. and watching other people do it. makes me want to get back to the grind but you know, free time ain't so easy to come by anymore. |
I have a challenge idea but I am too lazy to run a thread so I am posting it here.
Minimum levels challenge. The aim of this challenge is to beat the main game with a team of pokemon as low Level as possible.No items in battle, no Cheating (except for trade evolutions) and no using pokemon unobtainable in the game (by trading). I might make a travel journal when I do this challenge. The aim of this challenge is to use Ev training,good movesets and stats,technical machines,cheesy strats and natures of pokemon to your advantage and beat games at a very low level.Have fun with this challenge!! :) |
First of all, I wanna say this is not an original idea
With that out of the way, I'm surprised to see this not been suggested before (I checked through just to make sure) but, this idea is a Pokemon Draft Challenge. If any of you are familiar with Fire Emblem drafts, a Pokemon Draft is essentially the same thing but with a different game. This is a group challenge in a sense, ideally you'd want at least 4 players (no more than 6, maybe 8 for games with a larger Pokedex like X/Y) who are COMMITTED to finishing the run. The aim is to be strategic about your Pokemon choices to either benefit yourself or to mess with your opponents (for example, in a game like Black/White 1, you could draft all the Water-types to mess up the other players due to the limited number of them). As the "cream of the crop" Pokemon start to get drafted, you will have to make new strategies and integrate the lesser-viable options into your teams. The drafting process almost always follows the snake draft format, which is traditionally used in like fantasy sports leagues. How a snake draft goes is like... You have 5 People, let's name them Person A - E,
The drafting process should be done in a private group chat (whether through Discord or the forums) to avoid flooding. Ideally, you would all coordinate timezones and draft at the same time but, life's not perfect and you could give each player a 24 hour notice to draft a Pokemon or else they'll just get a random Pokemon (for that round only). The main thread could pose as a sign up thread for groups (can also have free agents sign up where they are interested but don't have a group yet) and a place where people can log their runs if they want to. General rules of a draft are usually...
Anyways, thanks for coming to my TED Talk \(ㆁヮㆁ✿) (not really suggesting it, just wanna see how much traction/discussion it'll get) |
People have probably done this before, but this is the Mono-Ability Challenge! The rules would be simple-you can only use Pokémon that can legally have a certain ability of your choice! (Or, you could randomize it!) Bulbapedia has a multitude of ability pages. If you want to make it slightly harder, you could also have to breed/catch multiple of the same Pokemon until it has the ability you want. The goal, of course, is to finish the game.

above post reminds me of the mono-species challenge...i did it in pearl with all bibarels. it was actually really fun and i don't tolerate bibarel hate lol.
so hey y'all consider pokedex completion in old games a challenge bc i'm gonna tackle emerald soon lol granted i have a huge head start in that emerald is my dumping grounds for when i complete gen 3 games so i have a decade's worth of pokemon from RSE/FRLG/Colo/XD just chillin out together there. but i know there are going to be a lot of gaps so it will still prove fun to take on. i don't know what i'm going to do about deoxys, mew, and celebi though. guess i'll die. shrug |
Plz suggest a challenge other than nuzelocke or any variant

Something you could try may also be... completing a run without ever battling wild Pokémon for levels! I remember doing that but it's been a while since the last time I tried 🙃 btw: I see this is your only post, so here's a friendly reminder to introduce yourself in Meet & Greet <3 |

Hey guys
I've never done a soul link before and wanted to find someone to do one with (perhaps BW2 or HG). I'm not the most experienced nuzlocker but I know what I'm doing, just want someone who's down for a laugh and a good time. We can screen share on discord and laugh (or cry) at our failures. I'm 22 from England add me if you're interested :) Discord = Temporal#9192 |

Curious if this sounds like a good idea:
The Tri-Starter Challenge -You must complete one game three different times. -You must use one starter per run -No using the same starter in different runs -You cannot use any pokemon more than once between runs. IE If you use raticate in one run, you cannot use it in another. My Preferred Rules: -Set Battle Type -No using items in battle besides pokeballs |

|

I'm doing quite a fun challenge right now. I am prohibiting myself from using any pokemon, any moves or any items (in battle) unless they are introduced in that generation. Starting in gen 2. With a level limit to stop overlevelling
This means I used 3 Unown to beat Falkner, Hidden Power was my only available gen 2 move. After Falkner my Cyndaquil could learn Mud-Slap! Also needed that same Unown with HP Fire to beat Bugsy... And to beat Morty I had to breed an Eevee, evolve it to Umbreon before level 16 to get Pursuit. So now I'm grinding that. My Return Granbull wrecks stuff, Quilava's best move is Rollout (until I get Flame Wheel) and Umbreon has Nightmare/Attract just to get rid of another 2 earlier gen moves This is harder than it seemed at first xD |
