THE CHALLENGE LOOP

How the run works

01

Catch carefully

The first Pokémon encountered in each named location is your only catch there. Nickname every teammate.

02

Earn evolution

Each Gym badge grants one evolution point. Multi-stage Pokémon need multiple points to reach their final form.

03

Win flawlessly

Defeat a Gym Leader or Rival without a faint to earn a spin on the matching wheel.

RULES AT A GLANCE

Simple rules.
Hard choices.

The familiar Nuzlocke foundation stays intact, while the evolution and wheel systems reward skilful play without removing the danger.

Fainting means death. Move that Pokémon to the Graveyard.

Flawless means no faints. Healing, switching, status moves and held items are allowed unless a wheel effect says otherwise.

One unused reward at a time. Effects apply immediately unless stated otherwise.

Plan before evolving. Every point and every wheel result can change the team you take forward.
