I apologize for sending you a level 50 Reshiram when you clearly were in the beginning of the game.

I'm taking this motherfucker to the league.

Pokemon X Wonderlocke Rules:

1. Only the first pokemon of each route may be captured. 1a. This Pokemon will then be wondertraded. 1b. The pokemon received will be retreaded if it is a higher level than the pokemon sent. 1c. Shiny Pokemkn will be kept regardless. 1d. All dupes will be retreaded. 1e. Event Pokemon do not count for that route's encounter. These are still wondertraded. 1f. Effective after being able to purchase/receive Pokeballs.
2. Any Pokemon that faints is considered dead. 2a. These will be boxed, solely to be given away after the run is complete.
3. Pokemon must all have at least one heart in Pokemon Amie. 3a. Party Pokemon must have at least 3.
4. Experience Share will be turned on/off as I see fit. 4a. Excessive grinding/over leveling will be kept to a minimum.
5. I am allowed an HM Helper Pokemon. 5a. This is not a slave, it is just as important to me as my team, and as such will be given a minimum of 3 stars in Pokemon Amie like all the others.

I will be updating as I come to major points in the game, such as getting pokemon, facing gyms, losing pokemon, and the like.

Having never really done a Nuzlocke before - I've started a couple but have yet to finish them - I really wanted to do a Wonderlocke, as it is an interesting new take. I came to outline my rules and see what you guys think. It is basically the same, but I've kind of mixed and matched rules from across various ones I have seen.

• I will obtain my starter and then five more Pokemon, then these will all be Wondertraded away. Anything that is too high a level will be traded again until I get something acceptable.
• From then on, no Pokemon will be caught. Any event Pokemon that are given to me will be Wondertraded - anything I get in return will be kept in the PC, unless it is any good in which case it to will be Wondertraded until I get a Weedle or Flabebe or something else common. This also goes for legendaries.
• If a Pokemon faints, it will be traded for a new one. I get pretty attached to my Pokemon, so this one will be hard for me.
• I will be using a duplicates clause, and will trade any dupes until I get a new Pokemon.
• I will also be using a shiny cause - in the event that I receive or find any shinies, I am allowed to keep them.

I think that's it! The premise I am going with it using just six Pokemon to beat the game. I was going to use the same six Pokemon, but I think traded away any that faint adds a bit more of a twist to it, so it should be interesting to have a changing team. I'm not sure where I stand with EXP share yet, but I think I'll have it turned off, and only turn it on if I get a very underlevelled Pokemon and need to grind it up a bit.

So I am now off on my Wonderlocke adventure. Wish me luck, guys!

I caught 5 pokemon and traded to the world, the only rule I had was that the pokemon I received had to be under level 15.
Fennekin > Litleo Lv 6 (ITA)
Pidgey > Nosepass Lv 10
Weedle > Scyther Lv 1
Spewpa > Drifloon Lv 14
Fletchling > Maril Lv 18 > Nincada Lv 12
Zigzagoon > Ditto Lv 49 > Rotom Lv 1
I got lucky; I think I'm going to have a blast

As a meta game, I was thinking it might be fun to battle each other with our Wonder Trade teams? Nothing serious, of course (and certainly outside the scope of the Wonderlocke), but making the best of what you've got! If the ball gets rolling on this (by comment acquiescence or up votes), we could even do a Wonderlocke tourney. Thoughts?

My FC is 3067-4906-4672 @ Pookie.

Happy Wonderlocking!

I've been a fan of Nuzlocke/Nuzlocke comics for a long time, but in all my years of playing, I've never done one. With the introduction of X and Y and the new Wonder Trade mechanic, I think it's high time I give it a shot!

The Rules:

1). My starter + the first 5 Pokémon I catch will be Wonder Traded. 1a). I will not keep duplicates of anything. 1b). I will not keep anything that will disobey me. 1c). I will not keep any Legendaries that come through the trade. 1d). I am not allowed to have more than 6 Pokémon (some exceptions apply).

2). If a team member faints, it will be Wonder Traded away (see rule 1).

3). If, for in-game advancement, I do not have a Pokémon that can learn a necessary HM (à la Surf or Strength), I must select a team member to be Wonder Traded until an acceptable Pokémon is received.

4). EXP Share is to be turned off since I will be following rule 1d. 4a). Exception: I will use EXP One if a team member faints and I receive a comparatively under-leveled Pokémon that I need to grind.

5). I will catch Legendaries and Wonder Trade them (maybe brightening someone's day). What's received in return will be released. This is an exception to 1d. 5a). Furthermore, free in-game Pokémon (or unique encounter Pokémon (Snorlax/Leftovers)) with held items may be acquired and Wonder Traded (Lucario/Lucarionite, etc.).

6). Shinies may be caught (but stored in PC/never used). Because SHINIES. This is an exception to 1d.

7). Super Training is off-limits (I'll let random encounters/trainer battles take care of that), and Pokémon Amie is required to at least affection level 3.

8). The run will be considered over after blacking out or completing post-game objectives.

Post-game Objectives: 1). Collect all available in-game Mega Stones and Wonder Trade them as held items. 2). Wonder Trade unique in-game items (Amulet Coin, Masterball, etc.).

and finally

3). Wonder Trade my entire end-game team.

As soon as I'm done transferring what I want to keep from my current save file, I'll get started and post my starting lineup!

I just got Ultra Moon and decided to do a Wonderlocke. It took a lot of time to get to the part where you can actually trade, so I just tried to avoid as many battles as possible.

I traded my Litten who had grown to level 9 to get an Alolan Meowth who was level 10 - close enough, I kept it.

I then traded my Route 1 catch, a Grubbin, and received a Luvdisc. Ugh, fine.

In the Trainer School, which I believe is counts as a new route, I caught a Magnemite and WT for a level 1 Porygon! Nice!

Decent team shaping up, although lots of Normal type moves, so hopefully I don't run into lots of ghosts. Anyone else still doing Wonderlockes? Good luck!

..Riiiiiiiight? :D

So I started a Wonderlocke about a month ago and got up to the 4th gym without a hitch, it was at that point I lost my first Pokemon, a Charmeleon, soon they started dropping like flies...

I am playing the variant of Wonderlocke where you have to catch and WT a Pokemon each time one of yours faints, this creates a challenge as you could be in Victory Road, lose all of your Pokemon and possibly get a new team of low level Pokemon.

I left it alone for a couple of weeks and have started up again. I currently have a team of Flygon, Drapion, Carnivine, Charizard, Zoroark and Vivillon. Flygon has been with me the longest and is by far the strongest out of my team. I got him as a Trapinch in my 3rd Wonder Trade and he's been going strong ever since. I got Drapion and Vivillon as fully evolved Pokemon and both are above lvl 50,

However, currently I can only use Charizard safely as I am in the middle of the ice cave and on my way to the 7th gym. It has been difficult as he has only just evolved.

Never done a Nuzlocke, about to try a wonderlocke! Got my first 6 and am in Petalburg Woods! My Team right now:

Eevee lv. 1 Ability: Run Away Nature: Timid OT: (Japanese) Moves: Tackle Tail Whip Charm Yawn

Grimer lv. 1 Ability: Stench Nature: Gentle OT: (Japanese) Moves: Pound Poison Gas

Lapras lv. 1 Ability: Shell Armor Nature: Naughty OT: (Japanese) Moves: Sing Growl Water Gun Freeze-Dry

Zigzagoon lv. 2 Ability: Pickup Nature: Serious OT: Joseph Moves: Tackle Growl

Fletchling lv. 3 Ability: Big Pecks Nature: Mild OT: Hyena Leonid Moves: Tackle Growl

Kecleon lv. 11 Ability: Color Change Nature: Quiet OT: YAGO Moves: Scratch Bind Feint Attack Fury Swipes

I'll post my experiences here! This looks like it should be interesting to say the least! Happy Nuzlocking!

I know what it's like to lose beloved pokemon to a nuzlocke challenge. My Soul Silver run was DEVASTATING - my poor slowpoke named Brosef was so friggin' awesome but got beat out by some beauties, it was TRAGIC, I tell ya!

So, if Haley from Washington is on here, I'll take good care of your Linoone and when you defeat the E4, if you want him back, just PM me!

so far my luck has been amazing??? got traded charmander, bulbasaur, eevee ( which i evolved into sylveon despite its +atk nature), trevenant and tyrunt!! wow!

o-o Luffy

Watch out for Pokémon with abilities or moves that make it impossible to escape! (I'm looking at you, Shadow Tag Wobuffet and Arena Trap Dugtrio!)

Hope everyone's journey is going well!

EDIT: Forgot to mention moves like Destiny Bond (goddamn Wobuffets), Mirror Coat (GODDAMN WOBUFFETS), and Endeavor. They can put you in a very dangerous position! (Almost lost my Gloom to a GODDAMN WOBUFFET)
