the ironMON Ruleset

*created by god gamer Iateyourpie* *small personal edits for Streamer Bayleef*
People have really enjoyed the Rental Rando Challenge Runs, so I wanted to come up with a "New" challenge that revolves around the mainline series. I'm dubbing it the Pokemon Randomizer Permadeath IRONMON Challenge. Now you'll notice there are a few similarities to another challenge out there, but this one has a few changes to it to make it really a bit more difficult and rewarding and one that will feel really good once I complete it. So this is how it works.

I must complete the game (Beat Champion) w/ the following rules

1. I can only carry up to 6 Pokemon at a time, and cannot use the Box. If I want to add a 7th Pokemon, I must release/store one.
2. I can only catch/kill one Pokemon per Route. It does not have to be the first one I see.
3. I can only gain XP by defeating trainers. No Wild Pokemon Grind.
4. I can only use items that I pick up, no stores. (Pokeballs/Repels are an exception)
5. Once a Pokemon Faints, I must release/store it. No exceptions.
6. Once I've wiped, the run is over and I must restart.
7. I must make a starter selection before looking at any PokeBall. Then I may view them.
8. IF you kill a Pokemon while trying to catch it on accident, you will not be able to capture a Pokemon from that Route.
9. You have to talk to MOM when you start your journey, otherwise that's just rude.
10. You cannot catch anything over 600 BST. If your pokemon evolves into a pokemon over 600 BST it is fair game.
11. 50% Level Increase on All Trainers.
12. IF Vaporeon, Milotic, or Suicune is available as a starter, YOU MUST pick him.
13. No Lucky Egg EXP Item.
14. In the event that you kill or capture more than one pokemon per route, you must forgoe killing or capturing on the next route
15. If a pokemon dies with an item attached to it, the item cannot be salvaged.

ULTIMATE IRONMON RULESET  (Includes all of the previous rules) Final Version. For Now :)
THIS IS FOR THE ULTIMATE GAMER ONLY.  "this ruleset is about making a mistake"

1. All Pokemon have Fluctuating Growth Rate
2. No Leftovers
3. No Way Out Gyms - Once You Enter a Gym or Dojo, You must defeat ALL TRAINERS + CANNOT LEAVE UNTIL YOU GET BADGE. Beat it or Die.
4. No HM Moves in Battle
5. You may only obtain 6 Pokemon for the Entire Run
     - IF you lose 5 out of the 6, you may catch more ONLY FOR OUT OF BATTLE HM USE
            - IF a Pokemon that is an HM friend get's Whirlwind/Roared/Dragontailed etc Into battle, Immediately Swap
6. One Shot Dungeons - You can only enter a dungeon once unless the story requires a revisit
              - Dungeons include - Caves/Hide Outs/Mansions/Buildings w/ Trainers
              - Dungeons DO NOT INCLUDE - Forests/Routes/Safari Zone
7.You must use Set Only Battles
8. If a Pokemon is about to evolve, you can’t stop it/ or use Everstone
9. No Questions (LMAO)
10. IF you have a Prime Gaming Sub, be sure to use it on your favorite IronMON streamer!
11. Slaking is too good at a BST of 670. It is pooled as a legendary for me and therefore banned from choosing as a starter, but if its obtained from an egg/trades/evolution its fair game.
12. Soul Dew is banned, the value is just too great and turns Latias/Latios into basically a potential 800 BST mon.
13. Poison won't kill your pokemon in the newer games out of battle, but if you get the "cured from poison" text. Your pokemon is considered dead.

----------------------------------------------

 FIRE RED/LEAF GREEN SPECIFIC Ultimate Rules
    A) Must immediately fight Rival on Boat before other Trainers on Boat
    B) Must fight the rival in order to leave Lavender Town on first visit (Come back later for Progression)
    C) You Cannot Travel to Bill's Island
---------------------------------------------

HEART GOLD / SOUL SILVER SPECIFIC Ultimate Rules
 	A)Obtaining Pokemon via quests (not trades) is fair game. If you YOLO into something good you deserve it.
	B)The egg may be deposited before hatching, but it is considered dead if you do so. It will not count towards the total 6.

ORAS SPECIFIC RULES / ULTIMATE RULES
---------------------------------------------
	A) You cannot catch anything over 600 BST. If your pokemon evolves into a pokemon over 600 BST it is fair game.
	B) Picking berries is banned. Why would you destroy plants like that? Jerk.
	C) The forced Casform and Latias/Latios are not forced slots. You must either deposit them as soon as possible or use them as an HM friend.

USUM SPECIFIC CHANGE
----------------------------------
Base Stat Limit is removed for now.
Only pick from berry trees once
Mantine Surfing is allowed once, you may then use the move tutor if you wish to do so

Kaizo Specific Rules

KAIZO IronMON

These rules are meant to be insanely stupid and hard, and may actually be impossible.
These are not meant to be fair, and possibly not even fun. But if you are truly someone who wants an impossible challenge, this is THE hardest way to play the game. ALL rules from Regular + Ultimate apply. These rules are also non-negotiable. If you choose to do this challenge, you can't alter or change them. This is meant to be the HARDEST ironmon. If you wish to adjust rules just play normal ironmon and Ultimate as your ruleset.


1. One Pokemon at all times. The only additional pokemon you can carry is an HM Friend(s). If you wish to SWAP a pokemon that you see in the wild, you commit to that new mon the moment you catch it UNLESS YOU STATE BEFOREHAND THAT ITS A HM FRIEND (HM friend cannot be used in battle swaps, same rules apply as the ultimate rule) (You do not need to kill your HM friend if they die)
2. Banned Moves: No Healing Moves of any kind (Recover, Milk Drink etc, No Drainpunch etc, No Leech Seed. No Refresh/Aroma etc) No Spore No Assist. (This does not include moves when they happen from metronome)
3. NO TM or Move Tutor EXCEPT TM's you get from GYM LEADERS. You must use the moves that your pokemon learns naturally or the GYM Leader TM's
4. No 599+ BST Pokemon + No Legendaries unless they evolve (No Trading for Them Either)
5. Catch or Kill rule is now Catch Only. No fighting any wild pokemon.If something explodes etc, thats fine, but avoid fighting at all costs.
6. No Huge Power/Pure Power. If it evolves into it, you must catch a new mon to replace. If you are swapping into a new Mon, but you currently don't have Huge Power + Pure Power, and it does. Swap back to your OG.
7. No HP Healing Items while outside of battle (This includes status heals and PP Restore items. PP UP/PP Max can be used outside of battle)
8. No Held Items (Except Berries and EVO items)
9. No Pokecenter-like healing in Dungeons (Example - Rocket Hideout, SS Anne, etc) Forced heals are fine like Lance/Pokemon Tower, but you cannot go back for seconds
10. You can only catch a pokemon that is equal to or lower than your current pokemon's level
11 - No Flutes
12. Static Pokemon MUST NOT have level increase. Forced Fully Evolved at Level 30. No "Make Evolutions Easier"
13. IF applicable, You must add 3 Additional Pokemon to Boss Trainers

Q: Is this even possible? This seems Impossible
A: "I'm saying it is straight up not possible. You could tone it down just a bit to make it possible while still being very hard. As is, gym leader 8 ace is level 75, and champion ace is 95. There is simply not enough exp in the game to keep up with that scaling. 100% fact, not just me complaining, promise."
