I see, so only one person beat it legitimately in a nuzlocke ? Sounds super tough, haha, but i guess that could be interesting to try out, since there's not many games i play at the moment, outside of swsh. (well until christmas at least)
I already tried once (with the randomizer in normal mode because why not) and actually lost at falkner lmao. I lost my starter, a snover, against a Metagross because "wouldn't it be funny if i caught it in the first pokeball haha ecksdee", lost a rillaboom against a Sandaconda's skull bash (it raises attack and defense now), and only eternal floette remained, who got killed by Falkner's corvisquire because haha roost go brrr.
Also it seems like the randomizer mode sets a random pokemon to replace an original one (seemed like all the weedles got replaced by sunfloras), did i get that right ?
