Through the mine | Pokemon Sword RestrictionLocke (episode 6)

After beating Nessa we have two badges and in the hunt for for more. We find out that to continue our gym challenge we will need to find Kabu in the mine.

A RestrictionLocke is a Pokemon challenge I thought of that takes inspiration from a limitlocke and a wonderlocke.

RestrictionLocke rules:

1)you are only allowed as many Pokemon as you have gym badges meaning you are only allowed 3 Pokemon if you have 3 gym badges.

2) if a Pokemon faints it is considered dead and must be put in the pc (these Pokemon won’t be allowed to be surprise traded away)

3) the first encounter on a route if captured must be surprised traded away (if you are at your allowed limit then the new encounter won’t count as needing to be caught)

4)after beating a gym leader you must surprise trade your entire team

5)after beating a gym leader a stipulation will be added to the save file and will be in effect for the rest of the save (if the save gets into a impossible to win state one stipulation may be removed)
