Surely The Next Back to Back Battle Won't Surprise Us.. Recap Ep: • How I Survived The Hardest Double Battle G... Nuzlocke Rules 1. Fainting Rule: If a Pokémon faints, it must be released or permanently stored in the PC and cannot be used again. 2. Catch Rule: You may only catch the first Pokémon encountered in each area. If you fail to capture it, you cannot catch another Pokémon in that area. 3. Dupes/Species Clause: If the first Pokémon encountered is a duplicate or same species, you may skip it and try to catch the next Pokémon in that area. 4. Nicknaming Rule: All caught Pokémon must be nicknamed to strengthen the bond with them. 5. Shiny Clause: You may capture a Shiny Pokémon regardless of the area catch rule. Hardcore Rules 5. Items Rule: No Items can be used in battle. This rule does not affect held items or Pokeballs. 6. Battles will be on "Set" Mode. No Switching in-between turns after your opponent's Pokemon faints. 7. No Over leveling Rule: Pokémon should not be over leveled compared to the highest-level Pokémon in boss fights. Pokemon XG Rules: This game will be mostly Shadow Pokemon as encounters which presents us with a unique issue, as there are not a lot of areas to get encounters. I decided to just use every encounter I can catch, as catching encounters will also be difficult during difficult double battles. So any Shadow Pokemon is fair to catch and use, it's not like a normal game.
