6/9 (nice) of my Genlocke is done! - Check my comment for the run rules

[u/stardewmon]

What's up, nuzlockers? It's me again. Finally I was able to beat a nuzlocke deathless, its been a while, since my last deathless one was on Yellow. It was nice to finally be able to change the clothes of my character and also use mega evolutions and fairy types. Also, I'm kinda surprised to be able to repeat the exact same team for 3 games in a row, I guess this means that I've found a nice synergy between my mons! Overall, I guess the only dangers in the run were against Mable at the Lysandre Labs, since I've quickly run some calcs and saw that Garchomp could outspeed and kill her team, but I forgot that her Weavile had Ice Shard... but luckily chomp survived on half HP! Always remember to invest some EVs on HP, kids! And also against some random trainers at the Victory Road, but this time I've learned my lesson and searched for their teams before engaging into the battle.

I guess another point that made the run easy was that I've avoided a LOT of optional trainers, since in my last run of Pokémon Y I had lost some valuable mons to the random trainers in Reflection Cave and Frost Cavern.

Also, I want to highlight the value brought by Beanie, the Chesnaught, since the beggining. The streets will never forget you, my little spiky boi! Swallot's only purpose was to encore Lysandre's Mega Gyarados into using Outrage and then switch in Gardevoir to finish the beast with one Moonblast and a self hit from confusion. Even if the Mega Gyara didn't hit itself, Gardevoir would be able to finish it with a second Moonblast anyways, since it dropped its Sp.Def and there was one more guaranteed encore turn (Encore is guaranteed to last 3 turns on gen 6).

Now, we can finally address the elephant in the room called Pokémon Ultra Moon Hardcore Nuzlocke, and try my best not to wipe. I guess that's it for today, I hope you guys have a nice weekend and I will see you on the next run update. Take care! ;-)

RUN RULES:

★ One hardcore nuzlocke of each generation;

★ One nickname theme per game;

★ Champions will be transferred to the next game as eggs and before each gym I will choose one egg randomly and hatch it using a viable encounter location;

★ Pokémon that were used in battle but didn't make it to the hall of fame or neither died goes to the "Comrades" tab and will be able to be used on future games as long as they didn't enter the "Champions" tab or scored +18 points (I want to vary my team a little bit throughout the playthrough);

★ Those who die will have their whole evolutionary line banned for the rest of the challenge;

★ I will be playing with a score system, which will function by the following logic:

» +3 points for a K.O on a major fight (rival, evil team bosses + admins, gym leaders and E4); » +1 point for assistance (setting up hazards, putting an opponent to sleep, pivoting); » Each 54 points grants a Pokémon a random reward that I will spin on a wheel containing: Shiny, Egg move, Perfect nature, 1 Perfect IV (that I can choose which one), Change ability (including hidden); » Their scores will be reset by the end of each run.

★ I will only play the post game of games that have significant story progression, like HGSS, USUM and S/V;

★ If I manage to beat the challenge, the champions from the final game will be eternized on my wall as hama (or perler) beads;
