[@apple8104]

Monolocke not nuzlocke

[@QueenMuser]

Just to tell you: I've made dozens of attempts to this already and especially in version 1.2.7 where items are completely randomized, I put the extra rule of shopping limitations because it could happen that you get 5 relic statues from the pokemart clerk in Telnor Town instead of the usual 5 pokeballs. And Relic Statues sell at 200k pokeyens each at the mart, which could result in kinda being gamebreakingly easy. This said, aDrive: my personal record in this kind of run is being beaten by a sky cultist in Helios City, so before even being able to get my 3rd badge. And watch out encountering dragon types in early game

The thing is. I can only actess the moss rock and the ice rock later in the game and I had no elemental stones at that time so I only have a Normal-type Eevee. And it was not easy for the Fighting-type gym. My first evo is Vaporeaon for Surf and I struggled to find the Eevees on route 10. THE ONLY route to find Eevee. So that's why I said it's hard. But when I get the moss rock and ice rock, it got a hit easier but there is SO MUCH GRINDING, plus I hve to worry about the Megas, the rivals, the elite 4, and the chapion who has a mega that almost sweaped my whole team!

everstones is such a hindrance, not being able to use held items (esp ones that boost evs) would screw you over, especially w typically very weak mons.

Do a Badge Quest, but only using bug type Pokémon. Also if you don’t know what a badge quest is, before every gym you have to catch a shiny, for him, a bug type shiny.

[@EnD3Rf0x]

I once came up with a challenge for Sword and Sheild called the Piers Challenge. You have to beat the base game while only using Dark Type Pokemon and never dynamaxing your pokemon. Since dynamaxing isnt required at any point in the game, it seems possible. I have yet to try this challenge for myself, but it definitely seems possible.
