Challenges

The Scramble Challange MkII is a community driven challenge for in-game playthroughs. Scramblers are only allowed to use Pokémon that are randomly assigned by users on the forums.

The Nuzlocke Challenge MkII only allows users to catch the first Pokémon they run into on each route. Furthermore, should that Pokémon faint at any time, it can no longer be used for that game. Make up your own rules to give the challenge a little boost in difficulty!

The Gauntlet Challenge 2.0 is similar to Scrambles, but instead of being assigned Pokémon, challengers are assigned gauntlets that vary from full playthrough restrictions to one-time area or battle challenges.

Faulty Technology challenges players to work their party like an assembly line. Each time you visit a Pokémon Center, you must deposit a Pokémon into your box and withdraw another, moving another Pokémon from the adjacent box to fill empty spaces!
