This will be the thread where I log my Pokemon Sun Nuzlocke. I'll be starting playing and logging it the day it comes out at about 21:00 server time, if all goes as planned.

Rules
Show hidden content
Instead of having a first encounter, I will have three possible encounters per route. The first one I find that is a new or Shiny Pokemon is my encounter (my only catchable Pokemon) for that area. If the first two aren't Shiny or new Pokemon, the third one is my encounter. If I were to fail to catch it, I would be unable to catch antrhing else.

If I find a Shiny Pokemon in that route after getting my encounter, I will choose to either catch it and use the encounter I caught or use it and not use the encounter at all. If I get multiple shinies on one route, only the first one caught applies to this rule and the rest must be put in a PC and not used until I have won or lost.

If you get a scripted encounter, like a Legendary Pokemon, it doesn't count as a possible encounter and counts as if it were on a new route and I can catch it regardless. If I haven't caught anything else on that route beforehand, though, that is my only encounter for the route. I can only use one on my team at a time, though.

All Pokemon must be nicknamed for closer emotional bonds with the Pokemon.

If a Pokemon faints, it is considered dead and cannot be used anymore. No exceptions for this rule.


Why am I doing this?
Show hidden content
First off, I sadly can't livestream anymore due to computer issues, and I want to do the closest thing to that. Second off, my Nuzlocke challenges are generally pretty interesting. In three of my four completed Nuzlockes, I've had massacres where almost my entire team has died, with the closest being me surviving with only a Tentacruel at half HP left and having to go through rock tunnel in those conditions. I wish I had logged my past Nuzlockes, and I can't promise that this will be challenging, but it probably will be.


Gonna update this as I go. Please palpad me if you have subscribed to this so you can read my journey, but please, do not post in between my posts. Thank you!


Just noting I'm also gonna keep things as spoiler-free as possible. I will say route names, but I won't say boss names, special Legendary Pokemon locations etc.

decided to put how I'll format this here. All of the Pokemon below are examples.

Route Name

Show hidden content
First encounter- Tentacool.
Second encounter- Bruxish. I caught it and nicknamed it "Luvdisc."
Third encounter- Bruxish.

Special encounter- Shiny Tentacool. I caught it and nicknamed it "hi there." I replaced Bruxish with the Tentacool.

Battled a few trainers along the way. Gyarados died from a Critical Stone Edge from a Golem. Mimikyu barely survived with 1 HP left from a Bisharp's Iron Head.

A boss battle occured, and I won with ease.

Team Recap

Lycanroc Lv. 33
Incineroar Lv. 36
Sableye Lv. 34
Cosmog (Special Encounter) Lv. 33
Mimikyu Lv. 32
Tentacool (Shiny) Lv. 20


Note that I will do a team recap after every route. If there's a Legendary Pokemon in a temple off of a certain route or a special encounter near that route, I'll just say I got it when I'll add it to my team to prevent spoiling where it is.

A boss battle (Hau again) occured, and I won again with ease.

Route 4

Show hidden content
[b]First encounter- Grubbin. It nearly killed Fabulous upon summoning an ally and both ganging on him, but he survived. After summoning other Grubbin three times, the first Grubbin was caught. Nicknamed it "Chainsaw" after its mouth and added it to the team!

In the Heahea City on the second island, I Had a boss battle with Dexio from Kalos. Torracat was close to killing itself from confusion, but it broke through it.

I went to train Chainsaw and Fabulous. A critical hit Rock Smash from a Pikipek killed Fabulous, raising the Death Count to one...

I stepped in and Hau challenged me... Not too hard, again. I has to sacrifice my Pikipek to a Mudbray, though, so the death count rose to two...

First encounter- Miltank. Not a new Pokemon.
Second encounter- Mudbray. Ran away from it because of how much it threatens my team.
Special encounter- an Egg from a Pokemon nursery.
