>tfw you forgot Hapu's Mudsdale had Counter

WONDERLOCKE UPDATE:
Pokémon Sun starts off so well. As slow the build up is, and the constant stopping and starting, I really do think it had amazing potential as a game.
Cleared out the first trial with no casualties. Alolan Rattata isn't all that bad, just wish Hustle wasn't such a dog awful ability.
I'm really enjoying the two starters as well. I started with Popplio in my original run, and I was a bit disappointed to be honest.
Current squad
A Vulpix lv 16
A Rattata lv 16
Herdier lv 17
Litten lv 16
Rowlett lv 15

Traded my Melemele Meadows encounter (Cutiefly) and got a magikarp in return. Straight into the box with that guy.

Evolved the Starters. I still hate Dartrix's design.
Traded the seaward cave zubat for a mareanie!! Straight on the team that thing will go! I am actually really happy about it. I didn't use it on my first run, so I hope it's worth it

What level should I grind my team to so as not to have Blue sweep my entire team with Alakazam?

>>33376137
57 is fine. Kanto E4 has terrible movesets, you don't need to get too high leveled.

Doing a Black 2 Randomizer Nuzlocke, who should my starter be? Farfetch'd, Palpitoad or Loudred?

>>33376146
Loudred

>>33376146
no way, Farfetch'd is really buffed if you're playing Drayno's hack, which would be my option

What is everyone's favorite limitation to add onto a run other than the normal stuff? What are some weirder restrictions you have seen used? I'm trying to come up with some new stuff for my next play through of Soul Silver.

>>33376165
Alright, I chose Loudred. I wonder if she'll end up learning any punching moves considering she has Iron Fist.
>>33376214
Nope, not doing Drayano's hack.

>>33376220
no evolutions allowed.

am thinking of playing this next with Blaze Black 2. Like, you can capture mons that are evolved in the wild, but you can't evolve them yourself.

>>33376220
I like capping the amount of Pokémon I use in gym battles. If I have a full team of 6 but gym only has 2 Pokémon, I'll box 4 Pokémon and use only 2.

>>33376261
I like this idea as a restriction, but the thing about capping the amount of pokes used, and also gym level caps, is that it ruins the fun of finding out how many pokes a gym leader uses and what level it is. If you have to search for this info, it ruins the fun of the surprise, no?

maybe a more interesting cap would be to limit the amount of pokes you carry with you at all times. Like a 3 poke run.

Or you can only catch a poke if you have space in your party, not allowed to use the box. (the box system never makes sense anyway, what magical/digital thing allows you to transfer a caught poke directly to your box?

Plotting an Heirlocke variant. Might try this on Omega Ruby if I beat my current White 2 Nuzlocke.

Chess Heirlocke:
>Catch only the first Pokémon you encounter on each route
>Any Pokémon that faints is dead and must be released
>All Capturing, and the rules associated with Capturing, ceases while you have a full team of 6
>Never deposit a Pokémon in the PC. Your whole team must remain with you at all times
>only exception is if you need to catch and use an HM Slave
>Your starter is your King
>If your King dies, you lose the Nuzlocke
>Every time you catch a Pokémon, assign it to be either your Queen, Knight, Bishop, Rook, or Pawn
>You can only have one of each at a time
>If your Queen dies, you cannot catch a replacement, and lose that party slot permanently
>If your Knight, Rook, or Bishop dies, the next encounter you get takes their place. If their replacement dies, you lose that party slot permanently
>same with Pawn, but you don't lose your Pawn slot permanently until 8 have died

So basically, if you lose your starter, you lose. If you lose your assigned Queen, your party drops down to 5 maximum party members. You only get a total of 2 Bishops, Knights, and Rooks, and 8 Pawns. You will, then, own a maximum of 16 Pokémon, and even then only if you're down to the wire. You can always intentionally fail encounters and wait until later to fully build your team, maybe catching Pawns early on just to help with specific upcoming fights.

>>33376327
I use it when I'm not blind playing a game. I know the Johto gyms teams off the top of my head, so its an added challenge, especially during randomised playthroughs too

>>33376328
this is interesting, tho it is really restricting to have your starter as a King ( I always though the starters are somewhat arbitrary and not the best poke to find out about in a nuzlocke since they are so used in most games and everyone knows how to use them).

Have some more ideas for a Chess Heirlocke:

1. Maybe what makes more sense is if you assign the player as King? with 15 poke to capture. If you wipe out, then its obviously over.

2. Maybe the best way to do it is to randomly assign each catch a role, so you never know what will be a King, Queen, Pawn, etc...

3. Also, to add more flavor, it could be interesting to assign more roles to each catch depending on if they are Pawn, Rook, Knight, Bishop.

For example, a Queen can be taught any TMs, or moves it can learn. Pawns can only learn HM's. Bishops can have healing items used on them in battle. Rooks can use Attack items in battle. Knights are allowed to flee from battle. Etc..

I just thought of these on the spot, but better restrictions depending on the role can be used to make it more meaningful to assign a role to each poke.

>>33376480
The only problem with making the player the "King" is that it brings the total number of pieces down to 5. I was aiming to line up the 6 types of chess pieces with the 6 party slots.Still, I think your third point could be fun, especially if we ignore your second. Say, I lose my Knight and my Bishop in a fight, and have to choose who to replace them with. I go to a route, find a Skarmory, and have to decide whether it would make a better Knight, or Bishop.

Let's see. Maybe:

King can Mega Evolve, or in a generation VII version use Z-Moves, and has no other item restrictions
Queen has no restrictions besides the inability to use Mega Stones and Z-Crystals
Bishops allow the use of Healing Items while they're on the field
Knights allow the use of X-Items and other non-Healing Items while they're on the field
Rooks can be brought up to 3 Hearts in Pokémon Amie/Refresh
Pawns cannot hold items or be taught TMs, but can be taught HMs

some ideas from yours, a couple of mine thrown in. What do you think?

About to take on Cheren. Just lost my only Pokemon I caught (Hanz the Basculin) due to the second gym trainer having a Rayquaza with Seed Flare. This probably wont end well.

>>33376802
did you shuffle everything from stats to types to moves? Or just Pokémon and their moves?

>>33376837
I randomized everything except stats, types, and move power, accuracy & type.

>>33376739
>not adjusting rules to avoid having team of legenaries

Since the wild Pokemon are randomized should I be allowed to catch Pokemon outside of Virbank Complex and inside? The way I randomized it both places have completely different sets of wild Pokemon.

>>33377012
That depends completely on you. "Pinwheel Clause," as it's called, is pretty evenly split on whether or not people apply it.

Here's my question to you: If you play Sun and Moon, does Route 1 have a single encounter, or three? If you play Black and White, does Pinwheel Forest have two encounters, or one? B2W2, is Reversal Mountain a single encounter, or two? Pick how you'd like to do things, just be consistent with it.

I see the spirit of Join Avenue is alive and well.

I lost that run to Kukui's Snorlax. It was his last Pokemon left. I was playing without using healing items in battle.

So you were playing the game correctly, I see.

best rom hacks/ fan games for nuzlockes?

I know insurgence has a built in mode but haven't tried yet.

is there like a system to the Mauville game corner? It seems the best way to play is just mashing A and wait forever.

I tried to do the start a new team on sun when you get to a new island but it fucking sucks until you get more than 2 on the new island as you have to go onto the previous one to grind for ages because or sos bullshit

This is Pokemon Red++

Its a Red hack with GS sprites later gen Kanto Evolutions and some Johto pokemon. The hard version of the hack is HARD. Reduced money, Better trainer AI. Stronger pokemon.

For instance Gary has 4 pokemon when you fight him the 2nd time. Brock has all the fossil pokemon FULLY EVOLVED and at level 13-15.

Wallace was pretty scary. His Gyarados kept using bounce, almost OHKO-ing Starli and @-Shotting Venusaur. I've ran out of T-bolts with Starli and Power Gem wasn't doing as much as I wanted.

SO I switched to Kiyoo while it was in the air, lived a Bounce and killed it with Stone Edge.

This was a nice locke. I would recommend it if anyone hasn't played Theta Emerald EX.

Oh boy did things happen to my team. So i lost Swablu and Numel to a Breloom on route 119, who downd both of them with counter for some reason. Afterwards i lost Manectric to Winona's Altaria who apparently knows earthquake ? ? Then i replaced him with a Magnemite, and caught a doduo and a duskull to fill in the rest of the party. Well, duskull and doduo both died to a machoke on mt. pyre, so i ended up switching duskull with azumarill and duduo with my old Beautfly, who died, and was then replaced with a wingull i just caught. After i caught Sharkface i let her take azumarill's place. And now I'm just grinding towards Tate and Liza - I'm thinking that Sharkface and McDonald can take them on without trouble if i get them in their late 30's.

Man, you guys are right

>>33376589
>making the King more powerful than the Queen
Queen should be the one to Mega Evolve etc. King should be prohibited from evolving.

If you add switching restrictions you could give the pieces more flavor. For instance, play as though mode:Set, but allow the King and Rook to swap as though mode:Switch once per battle. Voila, Castling.

You could add other restrictions based on the mobility of the piece (Queens can be switched in whenever, Pawns only after a few turns have passed, etc.).

Also maybe Pawns could promote to another piece when they finish evolving (no evolving, no promoting).

>>33385067
>You could add other restrictions based on the mobility of the piece (Queens can be switched in whenever, Pawns only after a few turns have passed, etc.).
Or maybe the opposite actually: start with Pawns, then Knights/Bishops, then Rooks/Queen. That way it sort of follows the pattern of a normal Chess game, the stronger pieces only coming out after the weaker ones.

So. I went to the Power Plant before the gym and caught Bunbun the Elekid. But as I was trying to leave, Musharoo the Shroomish became Paralyzed and couldn't run from the wild Pokemon there and died.

Then as I was grinding Elekid, it too died. Which was 100% my fault. And then I picked up a Ditto in a hotel. Better than nothing.

So I think Marshtomp will be leading the attack on this gym since it is immune to Electric-types.

JESUS some chick named Chelle came out of the Gym before I could enter, and battled me with a Chikorita and Pikachu. THANKFULLY Meta Transformed and whittled the Chikorita down so I could swap out to Rhen and kill it.

Tate and Liza went without any trouble at all - i got solrock down in 2 hits with Sharkface and McDonalds blasting Surf, and lunatone missed its hypnosis, so everything went down in 2 hits. Now I'm just grinding to get everyone to lv 40, and then i think there's a forced encounter with Groudon in mossdeep city. I'm not sure what I'll do - groudon probably has some rock moves, so that leaves McDonalds out, and Sharkface has horrible defenses. One of my million Wailmers were actually lv 44 that knows Water Sprout. I'm probably just going to use him for this specific purpose. For the water gym, I think Obbyatripl can take most of it on his own.

Slow dead-board update

Goddamn sweep, I was getting so excited to train it, only for its sweet chinchilla life to be cut short.

So I just finished my HeartGold game, and I KIIINNNDA wanna restart it again but Nuzlocke with the following rules: Starter can't die and Shiny's are always caught. Should I just trade over all my guys to my SoulSilver and restart my game to do this?

How is the S/M nuzlocke like?
I only played Sun once when it came out and I still have a copy of Moon that I never started, is nuzlocke fun?

>>33388363
Shinies are fair game but your starter doesn't get a free pass. Otherwise, you're completely missing the point of a nuzlocke.

>>33388436
Hmmm alright then. Should I do HG or AS?

>>33388454
HG is very hard

>>33388470
I know, my friend and I are currently Nuzlocking SS on our twitch once a week. Maybe I should do AS then for some variety?

I've never done a nuzlocke before and I've heard platinum is the hardest. Should I finally open my factory sealed copy?

>>33388502

>I'm doing a prism nuzlocke run and one of my pokemon died while doing the laurel forest thing does that mean my run is over?
never played prism but why would that be the case? you could only use a single pokemon for whatever reason and it gave you a game over screen?

some people use the "blackout = game over" rule but if you're using stricter rules with your game it makes no sense to ignore your other pokemon as well

good luck

First ever Nuzlocke completed. Went into the AS Elite 4 with 6, left with 2. Completely underestimated Mega-Metagross and had to watch as it took down some of my oldest bros one by one, only made it cos Golem tanked a Meteor Mash and replied with a killing Earthquake.

Survived:
>Swampert
>Golem

Died (in the E4):
>Grumpig
>Tropius
>Hariyama (Hero of the E4)
>Altaria

Died during the playthrough:
>Zigzagoon (5 mins after I caught it)
>Numel (died while grinding)
>Beautifly (died to Ice Fang in the Southern Island double battle)
>Gardevoir (died to Winona's Skarmory)
>Swellow (died to a fucking Masquerain crit on that route after Fortree)

Do I do Pearl or Platinum next? How much harder is Platinum compared to D/P?

>>33390485
>Golem
How?

>>33390513

Allowed myself to use a trade evolution at the cost of 3 new route captures and only once I had all 8 gym badges

>>33390531
personally I find nuzlockes better if you can evolve trade evolutions regularly

the idea after all is to use pokemon you otherwise wouldn't and generally speaking trade evo's tend to be fairly underused (during a playthrough)

>>33391357
I concur. As long as all other tools for said trade evolution are handy within the Nuzlocked game, that is, such as an Upgrade, a King's Rock, owning both a Karrablast and Shelmet within the Nuzlocke rule set.

>>33390485

What should I expect? I keep reading it's the hardest non-hack to nuzlocke.

A standard rule I give myself is to ditch my starter as soon as I catch my first encounter.

>>33394126
You should probably not ditch your starter in Pl, especially if you pick the fire one. If for no other reason than the fact that outside of the starter, there's about 3 other fire types you can feasibly catch in the whole region.

>>33394126
all 3 starters are very viable. i usually pick fire because fave plat starter. but grass and water are also pretty good

I wouldn't call them "for fags," per se, but they're definitely babby's first Nuzlockes. Awesome breeding rejects, starters, things at exceptionally high levels. I've found that the only fun part of a Wonderlocke is the Wonder Trading itself. Once I realized this, I stopped Wonderlocking and went and WT'd away a few boxes of breeding rejects that I had.

Team Plasma conquered. White Kyurem was a pain, but Ghetsis was forgivingly easy. With the whole team now between 56 and 58, I have to make my way through Route 23 and Victory Road without getting anyone above 61. Any Pokémon that hit 62 along the way will be forced into early retirement, and be unable to join me in the Pokémon League.

The final chance to rethink my team is fast approaching, too. But, honestly, even though some of my teammates may not be completely pulling their weight, I don't think I can bring myself to switch anyone out. These are my dudes. I've had most of them since very early on, and the newer additions have been invaluable in recent matches. I'm not sure quite yet, though.

Regardless, this Nuzlocke ends either tonight, or tomorrow night. Onward to Victory!

What is a good game(preferably emulatable) that I can attempt a Monolocke on? Haven't tried a Nuzlocke either.

For those anons thinking about a Chess Heirlockle, I did a trial run on Red++ with these rules:


1. Upon catch, assign a Chess Role to the poke (I used random number generator, using numbers 1-16 to assign a Role)
2. Capturing and rules ceases after having a full team of 6
3. Cannot use PC to deposit poke ( I did use PC to store dead pokes in last box)
4. King poke, whenever it is caught, must always be in your party
5. If your King dies, the run is over
6. Queen has no replacement. Rook, Bishop, Knight have 1 replacement (2 of each total). Pawns have a total of 8.

Chess Roles and rules associated with each Role:

King: Cannot evolve. Must always be in party once caught. Can be taught any TMs, HMs. Can use all items in battle. Can run away from battles.
Queen: Can evolve. Can be taught any TMs, HMs. Can use any item in battle. Can run away.
Rook: Can evolve. Can be taught any TMs, HMs. Cannot use items in battle. Cannot run away.
Bishop: Can evolve. Can use healing items in battle. Cannot be taught TMs. Cannot run away.
Knight: Can evolve. Can use battle items in battle. Cannot be taught TMs. Can run away from battles.
Pawns. Cannot evolve. Cannot use any items in battle. Cannot run away. Cannot be taught TMs. Can be taught HMs. Can evolve 1 stage after "promotion" by winning a boss/gym fight.


This is how my run started:
>A bunch of Pawns. It was hard to stop the pokes from evolving and I had to soft reset the quite a bit to avoid that.
>Defeat Brock with Pawns Charmander, Rattata and Kakuna (accidentally evolved from a Weedle)
>Beat Mt. Moon
>Catch a Rook, the first of my major pieces outside Mt. Moon, a Mankey
>Gary KOs Pawn Graveler and Rook Mankey
>Clear Nugget Bridge
>Catch Pawn Oddish, perfect for water gym
>Go to south to Rout 5 first for more training before gym
>CATCH KING PIDGEY
>Then King Pidgey dies to Doudou :,(

So I'm continuing my continuous nuzlocke run that started from Emerald and now to Black 2. This Altaria has survived everything so far and I feel like I should rename her to something more fitting before I remove her levels and moves for Black 2. Any ideas?

>>33401379
The biggest challenge with the Chess Heirlocke is that is may be too restricting.

1) Not being able to use the PC for storage does not make too much sense. Using the PC allows for you to have all Chess pieces available and ready for combat. As long as King is still in the party then I think this can work. Restricting the party to only 6 at a time really calls for the death of many pieces, which can be saved for later.

2) Find it hard to come up with proper restrictions for each Chess Role. And restrictions will change depending on each game too, so there are no real universal restrictions, tho I tried my best to apply broad ones

3) Hard to keep pokes from accidentally evolving when they're not supposed to especially when playing on turbo speed and grinding.

4) Could potentially see game-ending scenarios where a King cannot learn a HM needed to progress.

It was still fun to try to play, if some one else wants to give it s shot try it out and post your rules.

First off, it arrived at Level 79, but is Level 56. wtf

Secondly, name it Humilis, for two reasons.
>It comes from cumulus humilis, a type of cloud.
>You can make a shit pun out of it. Altaria's Dex entries says it likes to hum, and Humilis has, well, hum in it.

That's what I name all of my Altarias anyway. I'm sure somebody else has a better nickname for it.

Yeah, that's just what the Altaria was at by the end of my Heartgold run before stripping their moves, levels and evolution going into White. Don't really bother with anything else as to keep them mostly intact.

OKAY LETS FIX IT ONE MORE TIME

>>33402134
That's going to be tough.
Scala and Yankee are probably too defensively weak to live anything since they are slow. And his mons have someting to check each of your party members.

Maybe try:
Brooklyn+Venom+(maybe Yankee) VS Druddigon
Ferronite+Stingular+Venom+Brooklyn VS Haxorus
Maybe Will-o-Wisp/Glare+Everyone VS Flygon

Honestly Flygon will give you the most trouble. Ferronite can only Mirror Shot it, and Flygon is faster than your entire team. I wouldn't try to battle with Yankee or Scala.

I hate to say it but maybe you will have to make him use up his Earthquake PP. Have Venom in, then switch out to Brooklyn hoping he'll Earthquake. Then switch to Ferronite on the Rock Slide. But that seems to risky.
I would try to paralyze/burn/poison the Flygon. Brooklyn will have to bank on the 90% Rock Slide accuracy.

Welp let's see if I can figure out a way to stop Skyla from shitting on me

It's times like these that I realize how crazy it is that, with my decent shiny luck, I've never found a Gen V Shiny Audino. I can't even think of a Pokémon I've encountered more of in the wild.

Well guys, it's been a hell of a ride, but my White 2 Challenge Mode Nuzlocke is finally over.

Chauntal, Grimsley, and Caitlin were all easily swept by Battle Axe. A Dragon Dancing Haxorus is no joke. With Light Screen support from Chakram, and Intimidate support from Fang, setting up was no problem. Then came Marshall, who threw it all away by countering half of the Dancing with Bulldoze, and pulling off a Critical High-Jump Kick. Battle Axe was down, but Chakram picked up the slack, and it was off to fight Iris with 5 teammates in tow.

With a Light Screen and Ice Beam combo, Hydreigon was no threat for Chakram. Cleaver did his part weakening the coming Lapras, but by terrible luck in getting Paralyzed by Thunder on the switch-in, then frozen by Blizzard the next turn, it was clear that his victory was not meant to be. Ending with a solid Leaf Blade, Lapras was brought down to red before killing our little bug. Two Rock Slides later, though, and PowerDrill had avenged him. Aggron was out next, who fell to a single Earthquake. Druddigon took some shenanigans, but was ultimately downed by the group efforts of Fang and PowerDrill while it was locked into Outrage. Now it was time for Haxorous. Opening with Outrage, the weakened PowerDrill stood no chance, and the mantle was passed to Fang. With intimidate her ally, she managed to get Haxorous down below half before succumbing at last. But at this point, the battle was won. Chakram finished Haxorous off with an Ice Beam, and Archeops fell to a single Surf. The Nuzlocke has been won.

Syringe did fuck all and got carried to championship.

'bout time too. The grind was worth it. I have a spare slot so that means I also got a Shedinja out of this evolution. With some tactical play this Nuzlocke could be smooth.

Thanks man. And yeah, my Syringe was just a bit of a mess. Modest, but still much higher Attack; too much so to justify even considering Air Slash over Acrobatics. Then I found out that Sludge Bomb isn't available until endgame. Honestly, the only reason I kept him around beyond Fly was because I love Crobat, and really wanted one in my Nuzlocke Champions box in my Bank, and the fact that I'd just feel bad ditching him right at the end.

Yours had the unfortunate case of being born a Pidove.

FINAL UPDATE! At least the final team info update - i'll make another team painting if i get past the E4. Everyone has been grinded up to lv 50 over the past 3 days, which i am even considering might not be high enough. I'm kinda worried about the champions team - Some of his pokes have too much coverage for my liking. Finally taught SOLO Psychic though, so it should be able to do a lot of damage, especially since it's immune to a sneaky earthquake. Might do a last bit of grinding before i enter, so updates might first come tomorrow.

Beat the Tunod E4! It was pretty challenging, but I will say that there were A LOT of critical hits on both sides. I swear Blaziken got off at least 15 critical hits.

Unfortunately, two Pokemon died due to critical hits as well. Make matters worse, the two are both my favorite Gen 3 mons. It completely sucks that they died.

Now I am gonna see what Professor Oak has in store (hopefully a trip to Johto)

How hard are gen 1 nuzlockes? I did most of a white nuzlocke but ditched it like halfway through.

I would say dupe encounters are a bit of a problem as is grinding. But if you count the mew style encounters, it could be fun.

Thanks, but nope, i'm gonna do it again. I'm pretty content on doing this mission of mine 100% chronologically. But I'm only going to make the next update when I'm finished with the game so i don't have to waste more time making updates for runs that may end up like this one.

the thing about the regular updates is that they take like an hour to do each time, and i don't think anyone will be interested to see the same run being posted for the 4th time.
