The Wedlocke, a Nuzlocke variant.

Before you read this post, read my previous one about the regular nuzlocke challenge, for you will need that information for this post.

Now that you have done that, lets get started!

Although the Nuzlocke is a very popular challenge, there are also variants to it. The ones I will be covering are as follows: The Egglocke, the Wedlocke and the Typelocke!

This post I will be explaining the Wedlocke, a challenge created by Marriland, a popular Youtuber and Pokemon website maintainer.

In the Wedlocke you keep all rules that pertained to the Nuzlocke challenge but you add a couple more.

1. When you catch a Pokemon, it must be "partnered" with a Pokemon of the opposite gender. For example. If you start out with a Male Totodile, you MUST catch a female pokemon as your next team member. The two then become paired, and the next encounter can be whatever gender you find.

2. You can only switch between one couple per fight. The only exception to this rule is if one couple dies. If one member of the couple dies, the other must avenge their death and finish the battle successfully or die. If a couple dies then you must switch to a different couple in your party.

3. If you lose one member of a couple, replace the member with a Pokemon of the same gender who died. If both members die, than replace them with a new couple.

4. You may not deposit a Pokemon in the box, in order to do so they must die. The only exception to this is if none of your Pokemon can learn a required hm. Than you can take a slave. The slave cannot battle and if the slave is the only Pokemon left in your party, you lose.

The Wedlocke is a hard challenge that should be considered for every hardcore gamer. If you enjoy challenges, this is for you.
