Starting the Run
Lab
Lab / Early Route mons are guaranteed to be base form evolutions and will evolve at least once.
- You can choose your starter in the lab.
- All lab fights will always be Lvl.6 vs Lvl.6
- You will always start each run with 5 Potions. You receive 4 AUTOMATICALLY. Get the 5th from the Mart employee on Route 1.
- All moves are legal in the lab without restriction.
- The player has the option to Either 1) Receive 5 random pokeballs from Oak on Route 1 OR 2) Take 5 unique level 8 adopted pivots in Pallet Town. (They are tabled from Route 1,2,22 and VF.)
Wild Pokemon
Wild pokemon will be any unevolved pokemon that can evolve by level, friendship, or a game mode exclusive “Roguestone”. Type is locked by stpping on a tile in the tower.
- Pokemon in the wild have a 100% catch rate. (unless you took the adopted pokemon, then it will be 0%)
- Wild Pokemon have a 50% increase to their level in all ascensions.
- NOTE: Once you fight a non-rival trainer, you are LOCKED with your current pokemon for the attempt.
- You may catch 5 pokemon if you chose to take Oak’s balls, and then choose ONE to attempt the challenge, including the same pokemon 5 times if you choose.
- Once you select the ONE pokemon you are going to run, you may keep the item it’s holding if it has one, treating it as though you picked it up from the ground.
- You may heal freely while you are catching your 5 pokemon. However, if your lead pokemon faints your run ends.
- You may swap your lead pokemon at any time during this phase.
- Some moves are banned in wild encounters that would give you an advantage like Sketch and Healing moves.
- If you are trapped and cannot escape, you can catch the pokemon that trapped you, but it counts as one of your 5 catches. You may also KO the pokemon as it does not yield EXP.
- All pokemon that evolve with any stone/item now take a “Roguestone” to evolve. Roguestones you find randomly can be kept and used at any time after gym 1.
- Shiny Rule - If you are scouting your mon to run, and find a shiny, you must attempt to run it or face the wrath of Crozwords. The scientist will level it up to 8.
The KARP
You will be given a HM magikarp from a familiar face outside of Mt. Moon.
- You are allowed to use the magikarp as a battle resource. Swapping is permitted.
- Your main Pokemon must start each battle.
- If you evolve your magikarp (lvl.20), you will be awarded 2x Large XP Candies.
