Do you know Johto by heart? Replay it differently. The Nuzlocke, where every Pokémon that faints is lost forever, turns Gold, Silver and Crystal into a tense adventure where every catch counts. And it is only one challenge among many.

This guide recaps the Nuzlocke rules and their variants, lists the most interesting catches route by route, identifies the battles where you most often lose your Pokémon, and suggests other challenges for veterans.

Crystal is the most interesting version for a Nuzlocke: its encounters are more varied from the start, and the story battles are better balanced.
