Rules

  • You may only catch the first Pokemon in each new route/area. Dupes clause is up to you.
  • When a Pokemon faints, it may not be used anymore, except in cases of HMs you cannot use otherwise.
  • You may use any house rules you usually use for Nuzlockes, as long as they don't contradict the rules below.
  • When you capture a Pokemon, randomize a number from one to 19. This is now your Pokemons' job, based on the list below.
  • After a major fight, flip a coin. If heads, your Pokemon can gain a secondary job. They can only have two jobs. If their rules overlap or contradict each other, roll again.
  • Your Pokemons' job only affects you if they're in the party. For example, if you have a Scholar, you can only look up guides if they're in your party.
