Reborn E18 Nuzlocke

[SailorVee]

I must really hate myself to be doing this, but I want to give it a try. I've been following this game for a while now but I wanted to wait to play it till it was mostly complete. Now that pretty much all Pokemon except legendaries have been made available in one way or another, I'm finally going to attempt to (semi) Nuzlocke this extremely difficult game.

 

I say semi Nuzlocke because I won't be super strict with the rules. This includes:

 

> Fights which are meant to be lost will not have Nuzlocke rules applied to them. Any Pokemon who faints in these battles can still be used. 

 

> Gift Pokemon are endless. Any static encounter/gift Pokemon can be used no matter what. The only time the 'first encounter only rule' applies is in grassy areas, caves, etc.

 

> Because I will need to train up new teammates quite frequently, I will be using the Grand Hall trainers to gain levels quickly. These trainers can be quite strong especially early on so any deaths that occur here will not count. I will however, count any deaths that occur when I'm just grinding up in the grass.

 

I'm also not playing blind because that would be suicide.

 

____________________________

 

Since I assume most of you here have played the game or are playing the game, I won't really be going into detail about the plot itself. The updates will mostly consist of important fights and how I handled them. At the end of each part, I'll also put an updated list of all of my alive and dead Pokemon.

 

Since this post is more so meant to explain the rules I'll be using, I won't get very far into the game yet. When the part of choosing your starter came up, I decided to give myself somewhat of a handicap to make up for the looser rules by randomizer which Pokemon (Number one would be Bulbasaur and number 21 would be Popplio) I rolled a 4 which gives me everyone's favorite Grass starter, Chikorita. (Sarcasm included)

 

All joking aside, the Chikorita line is one of my favorite starters of all time so I'm not too upset about this. Grass typing resists the first gym and it's a bulky Pokemon who has potential to become a great support mon with status inflicting moves. I can work with this.

 

 

Little Foot (M) - Lv. 5 - Leaf Guard - Impish nature (+Def -Sp. Atk)

 

IVs: 13/2/31/4/25/14

 

Tackle / Growl

 

Capable of taking hits.

 

Thoughts: Pretty much a mixed tank, especially with those IVs. I don't expect much out of Little Foot when it comes to dishing out damage, but that's okay because I can get a great special attacking Grass type in Budew before the first gym anyway. While he probably won't be on my team throughout the whole Nuzlocke, I think his bulk will definitely come in handy during some fights.

 

Current Team: 

 

Boxed: None

 

Death: None
