The player's Starter PokГ©mon must be released or permanently put into a PC box after the first wild PokГ©mon is caught.

The battle style must be changed to 'set' in the options menu, meaning the player does not get the opportunity to switch out their PokГ©mon after an opponent's PokГ©mon faints.

The player must use the same number of PokГ©mon as the opponent uses during a Gym battle or rival battle.

Regardless of the optional rules being used, the run is considered a Nuzlocke Challenge as long as the two basic rules are still in place. Many other rules exist other than those listed here challengers adjust their personal rules according to their own preferences. Though the above rules tend to stay consistent with all challengers, many optional variations and amendments to the rules have been created by players to further adjust difficulty. Being able to do so would render all of the other rules pointless. The player may not voluntarily reset and reload the game whenever things go wrong.As of White: Hard-Mode Episode 3, it is implied that the player can accept PokГ©mon that are received freely from NPCs. As for trading and retrading the same PokГ©mon (for the purpose of evolving a Graveler, for example), there is no firm consensus. The player may only use PokГ©mon they have captured themselves, meaning PokГ©mon acquired through trading, Mystery Gifts, etc., are prohibited.The player must nickname all of their PokГ©mon, for the sake of forming stronger emotional bonds.Other near-universally used rules include: This restriction does not apply to PokГ©mon able to be captured during static encounters, nor to Shiny PokГ©mon. If the first encounter in the area is a double battle, the player is free to choose which of the two wild PokГ©mon they would like to catch but may only catch one of them. If the first wild PokГ©mon encountered faints or flees, there are no second chances.

Any PokГ©mon that faints is considered dead, and must be released or put in the PokГ©mon Storage System permanently (or may be transferred to another game, as long as the PokГ©mon is never able to be used again during this run).

The Nuzlocke Challenge has only two rules that must be followed:
