『 THE POTTERLOCKE 』


Welcome young wizard and witch, to the 『 THE POTTERLOCKE 』 challenge!
A nuzlocke variant based on the the wizarding world of HP, where you get to sort
your captured Pokemon into houses according to their natures and each house has
different rulesets, boons and banes. Will you accept the challenge?


latest

『 i. nuzlocke rules 』

  • You may only catch the first Pokemon you encounter in a route.
  • DUPES and SHINY clauses are on.
  • You must nickname all your captured Pokemon.
  • GIFT clause is off.
  • Once a Pokemon faints, it is considered dead and must be released or permaboxed.


『 ii. house assortment & house specific rules 』

  • Once a Pokemon is sorted into a House, it can only fight alongside others from the same House! Pokemon from one House cannot be switched out for Pokemon in different Houses.
  • Each new Pokemon caught is sorted depending on its nature into one of the following Houses:

latest

  • Pokemon that are: Brave, Bold, Impish, Rash, Hasty, Relaxed are sorted into here
  • They are chivalrous, they may switch in to help other houses once per gym badge.
  • They are cocky, they must play as if they are on Set mode, and in a trainer battle cannot switch out before allowing their opponent at least one chance to attack them.


latest

  • Pokemon that are: Hardy, Docile, Naive, Modest, Gentle, Jolly, Bashful are sorted into here
  • They are unafraid of toil, only Hufflepuff Pokemon are allowed to use HM's. HM slaves are allowed ONLY if an HM is required to proceed and no Hufflepuff can learn it
  • They are fair, they cannot use status moves in-battle.


latest

  • Pokemon that are: Calm, Quirky, Sassy, Quiet, Mild, Timid are sorted into here
  • They are creative, only Ravenclaw Pokemon are allowed to use TM's.
  • They are elite, they cannot use attack moves when they are Not Very Effective.


latest

  • Pokemon that are: Lonely, Adamant, Naughty, Lax, Serious, Careful are sorted into here
  • They are ambitious, only Slytherin Pokemon allowed to use held items.
  • They love toadying, their levels must not be higher than next gym leader's lowest-level Pokemon.

『 iii. eras of magic 』

  • Dursley Era (before 1st Badge)
    No magic allowed! Don't use any Special moves and no sorting yet, so Pokemon can all fight on one team.​
  • Philosopher's Stone (after 1st Badge)
    Sorting begins! From here on out, Pokemon can no longer switch out for those in different houses.​
  • Chamber of Secrets (after 2nd Badge)
    A basilisk is running around petrifying students! Any Pokemon afflicted with the SLEEP condition in battle must be boxed at the end of the battle, and cannot be taken out until the 3rd gym badge is obtained.​
  • Prisoner of Azkaban (after 3rd Badge)
    Sirius Black is on the loose and all Hogsmeade trips are banned! The PokeMart cannot be used until the next gym badge is obtained.​
  • Goblet of Fire (after 4th Badge)
    Pick a Triwizard Champion from Hogwarts. This Pokemon must lead in every trainer battle, including the Gym Leader's. If this Pokemon dies, pick another Champion.​
  • Order of the Phoenix (after 5th Badge)
    Time to recruit members for Dumbledore's Army! Take some Pokemon out from the box and train them. The team for the 6th gym battle must have at least 3 Pokemon that the 5th gym's team didn't! Umbridge's embargo is in effect, NO items can be used during this segment. That includes TM's and evolution stones! (The sole exception is using balls to catch new Pokemon.) Pokemon centers can still be used. Slytherin Pokemon, as members of the Inquisitorial Squad, are exempt from this rule.​
  • Half-Blood Prince (after 6th Badge)
    If one of your Pokemon dies, you must pick another Pokemon in your party and must be boxed at the end of the battle, and cannot be taken out until the 7rd gym badge is obtained. No Slytherins can be in the party until the next gym badge is obtained.​
  • Deathly Hallows Part 1 (after 7th Badge)
    You're camping in the woods and isolated! After getting the 7th badge, you may use the PC box once to choose your team of Pokemon. Thereafter, you cannot use the box for this entire segment. (The exception is boxing/releasing dead Pokemon.)​
  • Deathly Hallows Part 2 (after 8th Badge)
    The four Houses must unite! (yes, even Slytherin.) Pokemon can now switch out for those in other Houses. If possible, face the Elite Four with at least one Pokemon of each House in your party.​

I'm just wondering, with the gift clause would this mean that I could use the elemental monkeys in Black and White?

Username: LRachelR5
Game: White
Gift Clause is the ability to use Pokemon that are given by NPC's aside from your starter, since it is off, you cannot use the monkeys. Good luck on your challenge! :D

Wow this is sick. I'm currently doing a randomized Platinum Nuzlocke, but I think I'm gonna do a Pokemon Ruby Potterlocke once I finish Platinum. When it happens, I'll post here again! (should be soon, within a week)

This sounds epic! But do 'ya know what'll make it even more epic? Merging it with a Randomizer Nuzlocke!

Username: CatmanDaTrainer
Game: Pokemon Black

Man, I can't wait!

Oh, and can you explain to me this "no switching outside of your house" thing?

Basically say your Patrat was a bold nature and your Tepig was a brave nature then you could switch between them in battle because they are both Gryffindor natures, however say you also had a Lillipup on your team which was gentle nature, then you couldn't switch it with either Patrat or Tepig because gentle is a nature that is sorted into Hufflepuff house.

UPDATE POKEMON X- PHILOSOPHER'S STONE
