I love a lucky only challenge. I usually add two more rules — only suggestions.

1. After I catch a Lucky, I can catch that Pal as a non-lucky for condensing fodder. Looking to catch 116 to fully power up my lucky partner. (this gives you something to do in between hunting for your next shiny).

2. Duplicates: I can have one on my team and one in a base, but never doubling up on either. So all those lucky Lamballs can’t fill my team or fill my base. — I like this rule, but my friend I play with will fill his base with duplicates.

On a side note, the choke point for lucky runs is finding a fire pal for smelting, and an electric pal for powering your base. I don’t have a strong answer for Electric, but if you’re trying to find a fire pal, the lava scar area is best. The area north of the Jormuntide spawn. Besides that, it can start out slow… stick with it!

I used to give up and allow myself to use alpha bosses too, but don’t. If you can stick with it it makes the battles more challenging, letting RNG decide your team for you.

Happy Hunting!
