Rejuvenation Challenge Guide (Monotypes and Nuzlockes)

[Fumble]

Here is the Rejuvenation Challenge Guide, where I shall help you do a challenge run of Pokemon Rejuvenation! We shall discuss Monotypes and Nuzlockes, but I also will put links to help you for other common challenges you may want to try! Thanks to Jan for pinning this! If I leave out any information or add incorrect one, be sure to tell! FINISHED as of Version 5.3.2/5.5!

I shall lock this thread due to Chubb being confuzzled at locations. But really, I can't update this every version.

Monotype Guide:

Using my superior knowledge and the Rejuvenation Location Guide, here's the Monotype Guide! I guess I'll end it with Angie.

The Guide follows BIGJRA's Reborn Monotype Pokemon Availability Guide's Rules:

Each spoiler is a new badge-stretch of the game. Each section includes the baby form of the pokemon (unless it is available only in the wild fully evolved) and does not mention Pokemon available in previous areas, unless they are available via limited event (i.e. (Jackpot) Starter, Mystery Egg).
New Rules!:
Shadow Pokemon will be bolded. Pokemon that evolve into a Pokemon that is of the Monotype run's type will be italicized. Pokemon that evolve into a Pokemon that is not of the Monotype run's type will be underlined. Pokemon that were available between a choice (like choosing a Starter) will have an asterisk (*).

Fairy: Ralts

THOUGHTS: Normal, Grass, Poison, Bug, and Flying are the most diverse! However, if you want to do Ice, Rock, Dragon, Ghost, or Fairy, you probably want to hack a starter in.

Ice:

THOUGHTS: I don't know, but this doesn't seem right... Shouldn't there be more Pokemon? Not much to say about this one...

Marianette to Narcissa (Badges 3-4):

Fairy: Azurill, Togepi, Cottonee

THOUGHTS: You have a 1/18 chance of getting any one of these Pokemon. Hopefully you get one of your Monotype (unless you're doing Ghost or Poison)... Keep in mind that all of these WILL be available elsewhere at some point in Rejuvenation, and some already are available.

Narcissa to Valerie (Badges 4-5):

Normal: Meowth, Farfetch'd, Girafarig, Slakoth, Buneary, Furfrou

THOUGHTS: A few new Electric, Normal, Psychic, Grass, and Water types! At least we're starting to increase in number of new Pokemon; the two badge-stretches above were very lacking.

Electric:
Ice: Spheal
Psychic: Inkay

You can only keep the first Pokemon of an area that you find or are given.
You must nickname all of your Pokemon.
If a Pokemon is fainted in battle, it must be released or boxed and never used again.
Main Optional Rules:
Dupes/Species Clause: If you encounter a Pokemon you've already registered in the Pokedex as your first Pokemon found, you may find another one.
Losing Clause: If the player has a Pokemon in his/her/xyr PC and he/she/xe blacks/whites out, the game is not over. (in Normal/Hard, it is.)
Set Clause: Keep the battle style on Set rather than Shift.
Items Clause: Player is banned from held items or using items in battle.
Flee Clause: No fleeing from wild Pokemon battles.

[BIGJRA]

I wonder where you got this guide idea from

Edit: I didn't see "Follows BIGJRA's Reborn Monotype Rules"

Edited May 16, 2015 by BIGJRA

[Shing]

Ey nice, i'll use this once when i'll do a monotype.

[Fumble]

I just wanted to let people know that the Guide is officially finished! Now I just need to find errors, which is where you guys can come into play! Tell me any suggestions you'd like to make, too!

Shadow Pokemon portion is finished!

[sacri4iced]

i found a dwebble inside a rock while using rock smash on route 2, didnt see it on the list!

[Fumble]

Thanks! I was kinda using the Location Guide for most of it, but I'll add it!

[biboo195]

If i do a monotype Psychic run, can i still use my starter until i get Coin Case ?

I suppose. Unless you would like somebody to hack you in a starter or two. (I can't do it myself, but others can.)

How about a Bidoof/Bibarel ? For HM slave purpose of course.

You're technically allowed to use an HM slave as long as they don't battle, ever.

Cool, thanks.

[MetrololAce]

I'm glad you made a thread for this, as I was heavily considering doing a Mono-grass playthrough with some flavor.

I was wondering what difficulty you guys are doing yours on, or what you'd consider acceptable.

I haven't actually tried "casual" so idk if its just not a challenge no matter what you do.

I figured the Normal (reborn) mode was what I'd go on, as I doubt I'd be able to complete it on Intense without proper match ups, especially if we eventually get gyms that are countertype to the one I pick.

[Fumble]

For a Challenge, Normal mode seems like the best option. That's what I usually put my mode as when I'm doing a Monotype or something.

Chubb, I found a Mightyena in the "deep sewers" from Keta-Marianette.

[Fumble]

I suppose I could put evolved forms into this Guide. Although, I'll be updating it when version 6 comes out, since it's coming out soon~

[Fumble]

So, um, y'know how I said I was going to update this?

Well, since v6 changed a lot of Pokemon locations, this thread is a mess.

I'm kinda tired right now, so, um, just tell me what I'm missing. I haven't even started on the new section from Angie to Amber yet... Oh, and the Nuzlocke Locations list also needs changing.

send help pls
