If the first encounter in the area is a double battle, the player is free to choose which of the two wild Pokémon they would like to catch but may only catch one of them. If the first wild Pokémon encountered faints or flees, there are no second chances. The player may only catch the first wild Pokémon encountered in each area, and none else. The Hardcore Nuzlocke Challenge has five rules that must be followed:Īny Pokémon that faints is considered dead, and must be released or put in the Pokémon Storage System permanently. The rules are not an in-game function, but are self-imposed on the part of the player, and thus subject to variation. Many challengers feel that the rules also serve the purpose of encouraging the use of Pokémon the player would not normally choose, and promoting closer bonds with the player's Pokémon. I have one of the highest win-to-loss ratios on the forums tournaments we do on Pokémon Showdown and have played the game on-and-off for over a decade. The Hardcore Nuzlocke Challenge is an advanced set of rules intended to create a higher level of difficulty while playing the Pokémon games. Nuzlocke challenges have become a lot more popular in the last twelve months with the surge of streamers whose content revolves around Pokémon. I have been watching a lot of Pokémon content as of late.
