So what's the typical rule about the Togepi/Random Egg for Nuzlockes? It counts as a gift Pokémon, right? I had already caught a Geodude (Rocky) in Union Cave where Togepi hatched (turns out it's a female, named her Sandy), and I caught myself a Magikarp (Marty) in Violet City, so is this just a "You do you" choice on if I should use her outside of an HM slave?

Route 33 has dupes in the nighttime, so I'm gonna have to get Headbutt after Bugsy to check the trees.

Current team:

Irwin (♂) - lvl. 13 Totodile
Chi (♀) - lvl. 12 Zubat
Lenny (♂) - lvl. 12 Hoothoot
Rusty (♂) - lvl. 11 Gastly
Milly (♀) - lvl. 13 Wooper
Wendy (♀) - lvl. 7 Oddish

I usually box the egg and never bother with it, but if you want an excuse to try out togepi you get the egg in a town which otherwise doesn't have a catch don't you?

I already said I caught a Magikarp fishing in Violet City 'cause I thought mayhaps I'd be able to hatch it in Azalea Town, though I boned myself by just walking around in the grass to grind like 15 minutes before nightfall so I could go into Union Cave to catch something.

Far as I can tell, using an HM Slave doesn't go against the Nuzlocke if you don't make it a personal rule, but I was kinda onboard of potentially using the Togepi for battle later down the road.
 
You can play the nuzlocke as you want but most of the time static encounters are allowed in addition to regular encounters.
Only exception being places where you get multiple static encounters like Celadon City and Saffron City.
HM slaves are allowed if you dont use it in battle.

So you can't get the Lapras of Union Cave in a Nuzlocke, then.
 
Family of Three Maushold are in 4 and 6 Star raids if anyone wants the variant.

One gym and one set of classes left before I take on all three stories’s finale. Still having a bit of lag now and then, but no real problems save for the whole pop-in thing, but I kinda expect that with Nintend. Still really like the game, generic NPC designs suck, but I like the looks of Gym Leaders and Team Star Bosses. Normal Gym Leader is hilarious to me.

I swear, if the Titan Guy’s dog fucking dies…

The rumors are true: the Ultimate Champion of Paldea sends her toxic spikes-setter out last. Even the literal child member of the squad set up rocks first thing. Insane gameplay at work here, can’t wait to see how the crater and the school tournament work out.

The Elite 4 themselves were kind of pushovers, most of them folded to the ice dragon and Jumpluff of all things. Arven at least knocked a few of my boys out.

Are raids higher than three star locked behind post game? I can’t seem to get anything higher than that but I haven’t finished the game yet.

4 star is max before post-game. 5 star is after main story and 6-star is an unlockable after post-game.

On another note, I just finished the main story.

Area zero was amazing, gamefreak just keeps showing that they absolutely can make a good story if they just break-away from the stupid pg-3 environment and show a little edge.

Also the elite four members were a fucking joke. I miss the days when elite four members were like battle-scarred heroic heroes instead of regular pansies.

I'm just happy the elephant in the room has been addressed. People,  do in fact, eat Pokemon.

I knew this E4 was an absolute joke when I saw one of them was a literal toddler. I don't care how "talented" a trainer they are, it's a fucking toddler literally anyone is more capable, and I don't buy that the league that decides who new champions are has them as a head member. Its a level of stupid that is honestly baffling. They probably can't even tie their fucking shoe and I'm supposed to believe they're a key member of the closest thing this world has to a governmental body? Lol, no.

galar pokemon league never would've let this happen :mad:

it’s the Spanish league. Maybe the real hitters were taking a siesta or enjoying their 4 months of vacation per year. I think even Penny’s eevee team could’ve easily swept it.

paldea seems to be a lot less hardcore with battling in general. all of the gym leaders have a main job that they do instead of battling. in galar everyone is obsessed with it.

You can get it as well as other static encounters and gift pokemon like sudowoodo, shuckle, gyarados and eevee.

Static Encounters are definitely a grey area, as seen here (https://www.reddit.com/r/nuzlocke/comments/oumqpn/static_encounters/). It really depends on how you want to play the game.

Not played SV myself but seen the E4 battles in a Video. They are pushovers, both team- and strategy-wise. At least, BDSP got this right.
Designs also suck.
Appearently a lot of new moves and abilities are imbalanced for CP, as if they hadn't learned from pyro ball, fishous rend and Wicked Blow.

But y is everone in galar such a pushover?

Alola has the toughest battles even tho it's such a loosey-goosey region. When i first played gen 7, there was so much to hate about, even after already being disappointed by gen 6.
But in hindsight those games are great in terms of region, difficulty, soundtrack. pokemon and character design, lore and gameplay. CP was probably most balanced in gen 4 but even with the power creep they did some important nerfs and buffs in gen 7, meta was fun. If there weren't so many unskippable cutscenes and more areas to explore instead, SM/USUM would be Triple A games. The framedrops dont bother me this was the 3ds era.
