Attempting an "Impossible" Pokémon Nuzlocke

It honestly is possible, you just need to really focus on how each area is and figure out what is a route and what is the same area. Though doing the pokedex is a reasonable thing to do if you know what you are doing for a nuzlocke.

I kind of love and appreciate the fact that both Jaiden and Alpharad have the habit of giving Gastrodon/ shellos the most adorable nicknames possible (Updoot and Sqwoop respectively).

[@dimetrodon2250]

Usually I consider the shiny clause to mean you can catch it and then immediately either box it or transfer it to a different game/HOME. Basically if you encounter a shiny, the entire run is put on pause until the shiny is captured (any deaths during the siny encounter are also non-canon). I also consider any battle in which you do not collect exp (battle tower, raids, world tournament, online battles for whatever reason) to also be non-canon. In the event that a team member falls in a battle, and then you are immediately dragged into another battle with an auto-healed team, The second battle is considered non-canon (the rival battle after the leauge in ORAS, and one of the Nemona fights in S/V right after a gym). This rule does not apply to the "escort segments" in the gen 4 games where the ally autoheals you infinitely. In those games, the party deaths dont matter, however, you are required to speedrun the area, and then go back through from the start again on your own.

[@derpyderp1991]

Jaiden animations would be so happy to hear alpharad say that he grew attached to gastrodon

[@Doominato]

I think it would be cool if ya did a 4 person scarlet and violet nuzlocke. Bring some familiar names to the table I would personally enjoy that! Make it a race!

[@azurebalmung4520]

I think the lure/shiny situations are legit. In the Safari Game, you lure pokemon using Bait before catching them, and those count. And even if it's a Shiny that you can forcibly spawn, a Shiny is still a Shiny.

Remember when I fought volo at spear pillar: surprisingly, the famed giratina was actually really easy. Like it flat out missed every attack it tried hitting my luxray with and got flinched by crunch before it could try another. I have no idea if it was because of all the grit dust I gave my luxray from whenever I just ran around, or cause I got extremely lucky, but either way that was really Funny.
