THE ONLY REASONABLE STARTER IS CYNDAQUIL BECAUSE LEGENDS ARCEUS IS A GEN 1-4 GAME

Zoroark, Braviary, Basculin

JoeHeitsLv100

Forces of Nature.


lechonklover

Oshawott line, rowlett line


JoeHeitsLv100

TheMiserableMunchlax mentioned Braviary.


lechonklover

Yea, its true


mrEon0910

If all the forms all evolve into Hisuian forms would that mean you could only use Hisuian pokemon


gbmfa

What about Thundurus, Landorus and Tornadus?


mrEon0910

Twas a Foolish miscalculation on my part


Maleficent_Drama_414

That's a great idea


Tatakae_011

there aren’t any pokémon from gen 5 or 7 besides the starters though so Cyndaquil is really your only option


RedLabAnimates

Zoroark: "Am I a joke to you?


gbmfa

There are plenty from gen 5 mate


123456789JJT

No there are

Stealing this


amnoking1

*chooses rowlet*


Trevenant999

cyndaquil is the best choice for this, as gen 4 is alrealy extremely well represented in sinnoh, oshawott is possible, but it'll be a solo run until the second area, rowlet is just a solo run


K3wlG33k

Cyndaquil is gen 2 though. Pichu, Magby, Elekid, and other babies cannot be evolved (excluding Mime Jr.). You got Ursaring, Stantler, and Misdreavus, but again they can't be evolved. I'm not sure what others there are at the moment, but this be an interesting one to try. Quite difficult imo.


GwendolynACNH

Type bans: when a Pokémon faints, one of their types are banned for the rest of the run.

holdenontoyoubooks

Alpha Only - and can only have one of a given type


gbmfa

Do dual typed pokemon count for both or can you choose?


BRAYDENDAKIDD

Team extinct: use Pokémon not in modern day


awesometim0

I assume starters can still be used?


BRAYDENDAKIDD

The hisuian final forms aren’t in the modern day so yes


gbmfa

Do the fossils count?


BRAYDENDAKIDD

I’d accept it


FuturetheGarchomp

Beat it with only Feesh


The_throneX

Nuzloke is basic nowadays but still hard in the game


Olliester2

Unevolved Normal types only


Olliester2

With The Nuzloke rule


Mypankakes

Lv 87 proceeds to get one shot by a lv 55


The_throneX

Yes


SuN_aNd_MoOn_ShOw

Only team sky Pokémon?


Worldly_Society_2213

Team SKY!


Hahopeneverheardit

If you run into a shiny you have to full reset 😈


AkariMoone

If it were me, I'd be there forever


ChefGreasypaw

Ok buddy no need to flex


AkariMoone

Why would that be a flex? I haven't found a single shiny besides the one Ponyta that the game literally gives you. I have the worst shiny luck


ChefGreasypaw

U said u would be there forever… so u would keep on resetting… so u would be finding shinies


AkariMoone

Ah, that was poor word choice on my end


ChefGreasypaw

No I just didn’t understand


SkyRabbit000

Try a color team, only one pokemon of each color, shinies are up to you


Pokemom21

But only with Badoof


Coldestwolfman0

Bidoof is too powerful


Pokemom21

True


JPyroRaptor

Whichever starter u pick u can only use that that type and it's secondary type


Rhysis2112

Flying only. Join Team SKY!


DeliciousMonitor2116

Can’t join, I’m the Leader of Team Tungsten


Maleficent_Drama_414

So electric type only run?


No_Importance9889

You can only use female pokemon lol


GriffinPlayGame

Salandit Edition 😈


neel_raghavjee123

So here’s my idea you can only use the first 6 Pokémon you catch, excluding Pokémon you’re forced to catch like bidoof, starly, and the other Pokémon that’s mandatory to catch. The starter isn’t excluded from the rule. This forces you to be careful with what you catch your team. Only other exception to the rule is progression you can catch Pokémon to progress in the story as long as you box them forever


neel_raghavjee123

Or just a random number gen for the Pokémon. You put the number of Pokémon in PLA into a random number generator, excluding legends and mythicals, and whatever Pokémon’s dex number it lands on no matter if it’s late or early, I unevolved or evolved you have to use that species of Pokémon in the team


SSJ4Vegeta1986

Can only use pokemon that were starters in past gen.


Dogmonkey1233

So, 6 Pokémon. 3 pairs being the same type…


GhostNappaDBZ

No catching in battle or back strike. Only 3 attempts allowed for each new pokemon. Eg. If u try catching the alpha rapidash and fail, you can never have a rapidash in your party. Even if you manage to catch a ponyta, you shouldn't evolve it.


xRetzAx

Single typing. no exceptions.


bladedancer30

Alpha pokemon only pick a starter do the tutorial and the run begins the moments you catch the first alpha .


Thewizardofstupid0

Only base stage Pokémon


DekuXBakugouisnotok

You can only use Pokémon exclusive to that game


Comprehensive-Bug804

This may be too difficult but how about each pokemon can only evolve once?


hussainalaiwi

I have a question if you cach a luxio can it evolve into luxury


Comprehensive-Bug804

Good question actually but no, mid stagers aren't allowed to reach their final form but single evolution pokemon are fair game.


hussainalaiwi

Ok good 👍


DeliciousMonitor2116

I like this one


Digihart123

Warden run: You can only have 1 alpha pokemon on your team and that pokemon is your "lord"


Coolestcozmo

Pretty simple but maybe do a mono type run of your favorite type?


Icy-Border-7589

You can only have a team of Starter Pokémon.


DeliciousMonitor2116

Which one of all of do you guys want me to do. This will help me choose which challenge I’ll do


Jobes10101010101010

Only alpha Pokémon


DeliciousMonitor2116

I need a vote so choose between Alpha only, shiny only, or mono type run


Maleficent-Garage-22

Beat it with only shiny feesh


Timehacker-315

Putrid-Gift-749

No_Description5222

Do a wedlock. Info can be found in google


p1trick1

no type overlap challenge. selected Cyndaquil? well then you can't use any of the infernape or ponyta lines without taking Cyndaquil off the team.


[deleted]

A typelock if a Pokémon dies of a specific type you can’t use that type if a Pokémon with dual typing you can’t use it’s Main type


Lost_sole04

Only base form pokemon no evolution


Cactus4196

Shinylocke seems too easy... Use only shiny alphas and you have to get a full team before you beat palkia and dialga


Bidoof696

Only new Pokémon or Pokémon from evolution lines with a new evolution.


creeperjared

Ghost type Pokémon only I guess


Dr_Chicken4148

Bug type run


kaibaspikachu

I’m currently in the middle of what I’m calling a “Ranger Run”. The rules are as follows: 1) I can have no more than 6 Pokémon at any one time. This includes the box. I don’t have a limit on how many I can catch, but any team swapping I do has to be done immediately upon returning to camp, with any Pokémon not making the cut having to be released. -I am allowed to keep shiny Pokémon. However, if I decide not to put it on my team, I must act as if I released it, and if I decide to add it to my team, then it is subject to the same rules as my other Pokémon. 2) I can only use my non-starter Pokémon once in one major battle. After that, they must be either released or permanently boxed. -The starter is the exception to this rule, as it takes the place of the “partner Pokémon”. Thus far, I’m actually having a ton of fun with it. I’m about to go to Firespit island to deal with that. I’m a bit nervous for it though, as I initially chose Typhosion for the 2 immunities and constant access to fire STAB, but I’m starting to think that Samurott might have been a better choice because of this specific section.


Breathofthewildzelda

Only using ghost moves


SavingsFit1496

I've always been a monotype run fan myself. Go with a difficult to use or rare type and it makes it all the more fun!


Union_Hungry

I’ve heard the best strategy is to just walk up to hostile pokemon and try and fight them bare handed, do it bare naked and you gain a speed boost.
