Pokemon Shield Nuzlocke part 1

Got Grendel and started my run
Nuzlocke Rules
Catching Pokémon
The Nuzlocke begins as soon as I receive my starter
I get one catch attempt per route/zone(faint or run doesn't count)
North wild areas counts as one zone
South wild areas counts as one zone
I get 1 encounter when I first enter the wild area
"High Level" impossible to catch Pokémon do not count
First exclamation mark encounter
First fishing spot encounter
First Shake a tree encounter
Duplicate clause. If I encounter a Pokémon I have already caught, then I get to mulligan.
I can mulligan indefinitely as long as I don't violate the rules above.
Shiny clause. If I encounter a shiny I can catch it and use it as any of my other Pokémon even if I have encountered a Pokémon there or not.
I am allowed to scout out zones before catching a Pokémon or choosing my method of encounter.
If I can get through a zone without encountering any Pokémon, I can come back later.
If I accidentally encounter an overworld Pokémon I will run because I’m only catching exclamation mark encounters, fishing spot encounters or shake a tree encounters (unless it is shiny)
If I accidentally encounter an “exclamation mark encounter” at any point (and it is my first encounter for that route) this becomes my encounter for that route.
If a Pokémon faints it dies. It must be put in Valhalla never to be used again.
I must nickname all Pokémon, Give them love, become attached, and when they die pray that Odin takes them.
White/blackout is game over, it doesn’t matter if I have more Pokémon in my boxes
As long as I win the battle with at least one Pokémon I can withdraw more Pokémon from my bank and keep going.
PokeSlots
The number of Pokémon I can have in my party is determined by the number of badges I have
0 badges = 2 slots
1-2 badges = 3 slots
3 badges = 4 slots
4 badges = 5 slots
5+ badges = 6 slots
I can swap out my Pokémon at any time using your Pokémon bank link
