      I had my Pokemon Platinum Nuzlocke ended by a combination of Jupiter's Zubat and Skuntank. I was going to use Geodude to kill Zubat and Skuntank with rock and ground moves but Zubat one shotted it with Giga Drain, then my other Pokemon fell to her team. I'm sure I had other Pokemon in the PC but I was going on the rule that if you black out once you lose.

      At that time I did not have the correct ball. I believe later on you receive a net ball which drastically increases the odds to catch one. If I had tried to catch the shiny without the net ball I most likely would have taken damage

      @am_crowner8265 Рік тому +51

      Actually, it would matter. Since he has to save at every gym, and since poison does damage while walking, he would be unable to exit the gym without taking damage, meaning he would be softlocked and must restart the entire challenge. He would need an antidote or a Pecha berry to avoid this, which would be unlikely for him to own, considering the rules of the challenge.
