In a Nuzlocke, is it allowed to capture a Pokemon in the same area a gift Pokemon is received?

Jan. 17, 2018

In any Nuzlocke, like an X Nuzlocke, you can capture Pokemon and you can receive gift Pokemon. What if you get a gift Pokemon on a area, can you also capture a Pokemon in that area? This is really confusing for me.

It’s important to remember that the Nuzlocke Challenge has no official rules, thus certain clauses are established and players can choose to recognise these clauses if they want to.

One of these clauses is theGifts Clause, which allows players to keep Gift Pokemon as the one Pokemon received from that area. Generally, the Gifts Clause is something that makes your Nuzlocke run easier (as gift Pokemon are usually rare). Thus, you can decide to enforce the Gifts Clause based on whether you want an easier or harder Nuzlocke run. It’s ultimately your choice, althoug you must maintain this clause throughout the whole run, so you should also consider whether the Gifts Clause will provide a benefit or deficit to your run later on.

Hope I helped. :)Source
