I will not trade from another game to get extra/different Pokemon Split Area Clause: I will attempt to catch and use a Pokemon from each distinct area even if each area is technically the same (e.g. Gifts Clause: I will accept gift Pokemon, but I cannot capture another Pokemon in the same area I received the gift Pokemon Shiny Clause: I will attempt to capture and use any shiny Pokemon I come across I own Patrat, so I can skip over a wild Watchog) and attempt to capture the next Pokemon I encounter I am only allowed to catch the first Pokemon I see in an areaĭupes Clause: I will skip over any Pokemon that I already own or an evolutionary relative of a Pokemon I own (e.g. I will perma-box any Pokemon that faints in the 'Graveyard' I'm keeping the rules fairly simple since it's my first Nuzlocke attempt. I find myself praying to RNGsus constantly to keep crits away from my team. I will say, every battle is a lot more intense now. I did have a couple scares, including Serenity falling down to 2 HP on Route 3 while grinding, and Rocksy tanking a critical hit Shock Wave from a wild Blitzle thanks to Sturdy. She's the newest member of the party, but I'm hoping she'll be able to stick around to help deal with pesky Fighting and Grass types. She does have a terrible nature, but I think she'll still be a great asset.įinally, I captured Serenity on Route 3. I'm very glad I ran into her, as I think she'll be much more useful on this run than a Woobat. In the Dreamyard, I was given Bubbles, who was instrumental in defeating Chili at the Striation gym and handling Cheren's Tepig.Īfter defeating Team Plasma and rescuing a young girl's Pokemon, I took a stroll around Wellspring Cave where I captured Rocksy. I've never really used a Patrat much before, but he seems to be holding his own so far.

Then, on Route 2, Scout was added into the fold. He also has the Pickup ability, and has found some interesting things for me, such as an Ultra Ball and a Super Potion! After a bit of grinding, he was able to easily take down N's Purrloin in Accumula town. IIRC, most of the boss battles in this game take a huge stinking crap on grass types, so we'll see how it goes.

Snivy's number came up, so I'll be attempting this run with my little grass snake Ivy. I started my journey in Nuvema Town, and rolled a die to determine my starter. I decided to pop my Nuzlocke cherry on my current play-through of Black Version.
