Best Answer

A Nuzlocke is a challange in Pokemon games. The rules are:

1) You can only catch the first Pokemon on each route/area. If you kill it/it runs away: tough luck.

2) If a Pokemon faints, release it.

3) Nickname all Pokemon.

You can also add more rules like one pokeball per town, no healing items in and/or outside of battle, only use a Pokemon center before a gym battle, etc....

How do you not let your Pokemon faint in Nuzlocke?

Grind your Pokemon. Overgrinding is never a bad thing when death lurks at every corner. Also, unless your rules forbid the use of them, be sure to heal your Pokemon in battle when they're close to fainting in battle and/or have a status effect on them.

Hello I am doing a nuzlocke in Pokemon Blue. I want to go past route 22 and get an encounter on the route right before victory road but I just defeated Blaine and don't know if the rival will show up?

If you have defeated him in Route 22 towards the beginning of the game, he will appear in Route 22 again after obtaining all the Gym Badges and heading to Victory Road.

Does anyone have carnivine?

He ain't up for trade, if that's what you're asking. But if you want to know if anyone actually uses this Audrey-esque beast, then it's me! I used to hate Carnivine; I only put Predator on my team to replace my Roselia (it's a Nuzlocke, the Roselia died). Even though Carnivine has a terrible level-up moveset in D/P, I still love mine. So yes, there is at least one real-life person who uses this scary-looking creature.
