Pokémon X and Y players, are you looking for a new challenge to spice up your game experience? Well, you could try the Wonderlocke challenge. It's a challenge similar to the Nuzlocke challenge, except that you can only use Pokémon that you get over Wonder Trading.
Steps
-
1Start a new file on your Pokémon X or Y game.
-
2Get to the point where you've received your starter Pokémon, Pokédex, and Poké Balls.Advertisement
-
3Catch Pokémon, following the normal Nuzlocke rules of one Pokémon per area. Once you've caught at least one Pokémon, deposit your starter Pokémon in the PC, and trade the Pokémon you caught over a Wonder Trade.
-
4Every time you catch a new Pokémon, trade it over a Wonder Trade.
-
5Go through the game normally, using only the Pokémon you receive through Wonder Trading. Like in the Nuzlocke challenge, if a Pokémon faints, you have to release it or permanently store it in a box in the PC.Advertisement
