NobleJanobii's Randomized White 2 Potterlocke

**Noblejanobii** · 07-04-2019, 05:20 AM

So I stumbled across a new type of nuzlocke called a Potterlocke. It’s a Harry Potter themed nuzlocke that had an interesting ruleset that I wanted to try. Since I still have yet to finish a game of White 2 or Black 2, I’m going to try my hand at that again with this. We’ll see how it goes. Below I’ll put my specific rules as well as the Harry Potter rules in spoiler tags. Each Pokemon’s house will also be listed in their stats if they’re on my party. The game is also randomized but only the Pokemon are randomized this time, not the moves or stats or anything, so we’ll see how this goes. So without further ado, let’s get it started!

My Rules:

House Sorting and Specific Rules:

Spoiler:

Eras of Magic:

Spoiler:

• Dursley Era (before 1st Badge/1st Trial)No magic allowed! Don't use any Special moves and no sorting yet, so Pokemon can all fight on one team. 
* Philosopher's Stone (after 1st Badge/1st Trial)Sorting begins! From here on out, Pokemon can no longer switch out for those in different houses. 
* Chamber of Secrets (after 2nd Badge/1st Kahuna)A basilisk is running around petrifying students! Any Pokemon afflicted with the SLEEP condition in battle must be boxed at the end of the battle, and cannot be taken out until the 3rd gym badge is obtained. 
* Prisoner of Azkaban (after 3rd Badge/2nd Trial)Sirius Black is on the loose and all Hogsmeade trips are banned! The PokeMart cannot be used until the next gym badge is obtained. 
* Goblet of Fire (after 4th Badge/3rd Trial)Pick a Triwizard Champion from Hogwarts. This Pokemon must lead in every trainer battle, including the Gym Leader's. If this Pokemon dies, pick another Champion. 
* Order of the Phoenix (after 5th Badge/2nd Kahuna)Time to recruit members for Dumbledore's Army! Take some Pokemon out from the box and train them. The team for the 6th gym battle must have at least 3 Pokemon that the 5th gym's team didn't! Umbridge's embargo is in effect, NO items can be used during this segment. That includes TM's and evolution stones! (The sole exception is using balls to catch new Pokemon.) Pokemon centers can still be used. Slytherin Pokemon, as members of the Inquisitorial Squad, are exempt from this rule. 
* Half-Blood Prince (after 6th Badge/4th Trial)If one of your Pokemon dies, you must pick another Pokemon in your party and must be boxed at the end of the battle, and cannot be taken out until the 7th gym badge is obtained. No Slytherins can be in the party until the next gym badge is obtained. 
* Deathly Hallows Part 1 (after 7th Badge/3rd Kahuna)You're camping in the woods and isolated! After getting the 7th badge, you may use the PC box once to choose your team of Pokemon. Thereafter, you cannot use the box for this entire segment. (The exception is boxing/releasing dead Pokemon.) 
* Deathly Hallows Part 2 (after 8th Badge/Lusamine(SM) or Hapu (USUM))The four Houses must unite! (yes, even Slytherin.) Pokemon can now switch out for those in other Houses. If possible, face the Elite Four with at least one Pokemon of each House in your party.

Haha thanks! It's been a weird one thus far that's for sure.

Update 1:

Received Riley the Chandelure as my starter. She only knows special moves and confuse ray this first gym is gonna SUCK.

Caught Tiana the Nincada on route 19. She promptly died the next battle I used her in to a Gyarados using Thrash.

Managed to get through the trainers in Route 20 by only using Confuse Ray which is soooo annoying.

Caught Morris the Servine on Route 20. Raised him to level 7 before proceeding.

Headed to Floccasey Ranch and battle Hugh. His magby didn’t stand a chance.

Caught Junio the Maractus. Raised him to level 8 before proceeding.

Completed the little Ranch quest and got the TM for Frustration.

Grinded Junio and Morris to level 12 then proceeded to the gym. Junio handled the gym trainers no issue.

Let Morris lead for the Cheren battle. Cheren sent out Nidoran Male. Crit Peck nearly killed Morris. Swapped into Junio who finished off the Nidoran Male but got poisoned. Cheren sent out Cherubi. Junio finished it off with Pin Missile.

Got the TMs for Work Up and Return.

And with the first gym beaten, everyone was sorted into…. Ravenclaw! So now that they can use “magic” I’m going to raise Riley up before proceeding, but for now here’s the updated stats:

@Noblejanobii Thank you for the update and congratulations on your first gym badge! Sorry to hear that Tiana died. :/ Good luck with your adventure! :)

I don't seem to be having much luck with bug types this run XD

The Philosopher’s Stone:

Went back and raised Riley to level 12.

Made it to Virbank City.

Headed to Virbank Complex and got my first encounter, Brandon the Beedrill. Brandon is a naughty nature so he was sorted into Slytherin. +2 points for Slytherin

Started to raise him but he died to a Fraxure using Dragon Rage. RIP Brandon level 10 to 13. That not being able to switch thing really made it hard to grind him anyway.

Raised everyone else to level 18 and then proceeded to Virbank Gym.

Morris and Riley took out the gym trainers easy. Morris lead in the gym battle. Roxie sent out Elygem. Morris was able to 3HKO it with Leaf Tornado. Roxie sent out Unown so I switched to Junio. OHKO with Pin Missile.

Got TM for Venoshock

+1 to Ravenclaw for Junio landing the finishing blow
+15 to Ravenclaw for Junio, Morris, and Riley surviving the gym.
+18 to Ravenclaw for Junio, Morris, and Riley being the 1st through 3rd most helpful

Thanks! Yeah it's okay. I was considering boxing Brandon anyway since unfortunately Beedrill don't have great movepools in the BW era. When I caught him his only move was Fury Attack which is not a great pull and Twineedle isn't much better either.

@Noblejanobii Thank you for the update and congratulations on your third gym badge and shiny Audino! Please let me know if you would like me to try to transfer her to gen 6/7 (I'm not sure it will work, but I can try). Good luck with your adventure! :)

Yeah I may wait until later into the game but we can certainly try. We might've gotten lucky with my randomized Venomoth since Venonaut appear where I caught that Venomoth whereas in this case Audino don't usually appear in Castelia Sewers but maybe we'll get lucky?
