Super Kaizo

Ruleset made by - twitch.tv/iateyourpie
(if you do post the rules on your own display I'd prefer you just give credit to me :))

****VERY LARGE DISCLAIMER****
This is not meant for everyone. This is as of now, not an "official" ironmon ruleset. I tried way too hard to make a ruleset that the community wanted with Survival, and that entire process was stressful. I am going about this the same way I went with the original Kaizo. I'm making something I want to make and if others enjoy it so be it. I'm not really looking for feedback, I'm not really looking to make this more accessible. I'm looking to make an even more challenging version of Kaizo. If you read the rules and say "that sounds like fun" cool! If you read it and say "wow this is awful" cool! I'm just out here trying to find new ways to play my favorite pokemon game!

Anyways here are the rules.

Assume all rules prior of Ironmon, Ultimate, and Kaizo are still the same unless specified.


1. Every Trainer has SMART AI
2. Every Trainer Has Held Items (sensible + consumable)
3. Every Gym Leader has 6 Pokemon
4. You must pivot to a New Mon in Safari Zone BEFORE you beat the game.
       You may Reenter Dungeons ONE TIME with New Safari Mon
       You cannot recatch the mon you used for the first half of the run in the Safari Zone (You cannot dump your main before
               safari to reroll it or repivot to it
       later)
       You can attempt to catch 3 Safari Mon (Must Pick One of the 3. You can compare all 3 and then take one) You may also
               catch the same safari mon 3 times but each catch counts (I.E Eevee for Stone Evos)
       You are allowed ONE Favorite to be a "Free" Pivot that does not count against your 3 Safari Mon Count
       Only pokemon that have defeated a Gym Leader can enter the safari zone
       The Safari Pokemon MUST be your last pivot

5. All Hidden Items and Step Items (Mt. Moon, etc) are banned except:
       Those found in Dungeons/Caves are allowed
       The 5 hidden items prior to Mt. Moon are allowed
6. Additional Banned Abilities - Battle Armor/Shell Armor/ Taking items from Pick Up
7. Banned Items
         X Speed X Attack X Special Attack (Only Banned on Gym Leader/Elite 4)
8. No Set Up Moves Allowed on Elite 4 or Gym Leaders
9. Misty’s Gym Must be Completed IMMEDIATELY after Nugget Bridge
10. Erika’s Gym must be Completed Before Rocket Hideout
11. No Extra Fights in SS Anne
12. Moves Attacking Healing Moves are Legal (Giga Drain, Mega Drain etc.) (Not Pain Split, Leech Seed etc)
13. One HM Friend Allowed (This prevents scouting moves on all mons)

This is currently a ruleset that is focused on Fire Red/Leaf Green due to the fact it requires a PATCH. If other communities want to follow suit and incorporate it so be it! Just reach out and let me know!

Game on Gamers!
