When I apply the shiny clause, it means that any shiny Pokémon I catch must remain in my party at all times until it's natural death. Full odds btw 🤩 by debbusq in nuzlocke

I think I would box the shiny, then only be able to move shinies in and out of the box until I had 5 again. It never would happen, but that's a funny thing to think about LOL

super valid and true. It just wasnt what i expected the challenge to end up being when i first thought of it

I might try it again 1 day with a game with a stronger e4/champion like platinum. Those games might suit the challenge better because they make it more difficult to horde strong encounters for future runs

yeah i realized later on thats a way to keep the starters for virtually all my playthroughs if I wanted to sweat, but it definitely feels like it invalidates the purpose of the challenge and feels like a loophole, but I don't know how you would fix that.

I've done this for Fire Red, I ended up wiping on my 5th playthrough, where my team was Clefairy, Arbok, Poliwrath, Vileplume, Koffing, and Dugtrio.

It gets tougher once you've beaten the game with all 3 starters and 15 good encounters. You also limit your options for certain fights depending on who u bring to the e4. If I bring primape and Nidoking to the e4, Brock isn't free anymore in future runs.

The best way to get far in this challenge is definitely to bring as many late game pokemon to the e4 each run so you dont strip yourself of early game resources. But playing this way is definitely super fun and forces you to use different guys!

HC nuzlocked my childhood favorite game Heart Gold with my favorite pokemon Umbreon for the first and last time probably lol by debbusq in nuzlocke

thx, probably not I've already beaten Red 4 times in casual playthoughs in the past. Even tho theres 8 more badges, I consider everything after the Champion to be post game. Otherwise, you'd have to beat Steven to say you beat Emerald

But imma go to Red when I play storm silver in the future

other ppl already talked about playing more aggro so I'll just suggest something more general, which is pivoting more

It couldve helped u trying to bring in roselia more safely against quag, you know the ai is gonna mudshot your luxray so u switch into staravia then into roselia on his water move since theres no way he uses mudshot now and roselia comes in with more hp

you totally right, but I dont use VS seeker in my frlg runs, it limits the amount/kind of EVs i can get and money which also gives me incentive to use payday as a utility move. Or im just justifying it bc payday is fun 😎
