Summary
Playing a Nuzlocke inPokemongames is strangely captivating.
But what if you want even more challengeor just some fun twists?
Ready to level up your Nuzlocke game?
Lets dive into some of the coolest, craziest rules you’re able to try!
9Tougher Gym Fights
Sometimes, overleveling your Pokemon can make gym battles too easy.
To challenge yourself, set the level cap to the highest or lowest level of thegym leader’s Pokemon.
Any Pokemon above this level can’t be used.
Your limit could be 12 or 14, and you must fight him with only two Pokemon.
This makes gym battles much more challenging!
After all, sending a level 25 Wartortle against Brock wouldnt be fair!
you might set the rule based on badges.
After the eighth badge, all your Pokemon can evolve.
Unhappy about which starter Pokemon were selected for Legends: Z-A?
Then release the evolved form, effectively devolving your Pokemon.
you could also include Move Tutors in the rule.
By forbidding your Pokemon from learning TMs until you face the Elite Four, youll make battles way tougher.
Alternatively, like the Evolution Ban, set TM limits based on badges.
Or, you could limit yourself to teaching a maximum of three TMs after each badge.
Get ready for a real challenge!
If you havent randomized your game, you’re free to add a random Pokemon rule!
Then, release the caught Pokemon and add the one that corresponds to the rolled number.
For example, if the roll is 180, you have to add Flaffy to your team.
This way, you might find yourself using Pokemon youd never consider otherwise!
Imagine if they werent freeyoud probably feel pretty anxious every time you walked in!
Well, its time to make things a little more challenging.

4Monotype Rule
How about combining Monotype with Nuzlocke?
You’ll feel just like a gym leader!
Then this rule is perfect for you!
For this to work, you should probably have a certain number of Pokemon in your PC.
Keep things fresh and challenging!
If one faints, both are considered “dead” and can no longer be used.
They hiss, they slither, and they’re surprisingly strong!
Today we’re ranking the strongest snake Pokemon ever seen.
If you’re flying solo, dont worryyou can still try this on your own!
After catching a Pokemon, the next one you catch will be linked to the previous one.
If either faints, both are out of the game!
It’s a heart-pounding, soul-crushing challenge!
1Trainer Card Number-Based Starter Selection
With this fun rule, you could’t just pickyour starter Pokemonfreely!
Instead, you’ll choose based on the last digit of your Trainer Card number.
If the last digit is zero, it’s a wild cardyou get to choose your starter freely!
This rule becomes even more fun when you randomize the starters.
However, getting Pokemon like Magikarp or Cascoon as your starter can be quite a disappointment.
