IRON MON CHALLENGE Rules:

1. Only 6 different pokemon can be used at a time. If you catch a 7th, you must release or permanently box another. (No dupes)

2. Only 1 wild pokemon can be caught/defeated per route, it does not have to be the first one you see.

3. Exp can only be gained by defeating trainers and the single pokemon you choose to defeat in a given route. (No mass wild pokemon level up grind)

4. Only items that are found can be used, no store purchases (Pokeballs and Repels are an exception)

5. Once a pokemon faints, it must be released / stored.

6. A team whiteout results in a game over and the run needs to be restarted.

7. The starter must be chosen at random by committing to a ball without looking at all 3 options. Once you've committed to a choice, you can check the other starters and if you see
any of your top 3 favourite pokemon, it can be chosen instead, otherwise, the originally committed choice needs to be taken.

8. If you defeat a pokemon while trying to catch it on accident, you will not be able to catch a pokemon from that route as it will count as the route catch/defeat.

9. You have to talk to MOM when you start your journey otherwise, that's just rude.

10. Legendaries/mythicals cannot be caught. Trainers will still have them. If a pokemon evolves into a legendary it can be used. Pseudo legendaries are okay as well.
If the starter you commit too is legendary it cannot be used and you have to choose again unless it is one of your top 3 favourite pokemon
Favourite legendaries can only be trio legendaries (i.e. Articuno Zapdos Moltres Etc..)

11. No lucky Egg Exp item

12. In the event that you catch or defeat more than 1 pokemon per route, you must forgo catching/defeating a pokemon on the next route you enter.

13.If a pokemon faints with an item attached to it, the item cannot be salvaged.

14. The battle style has to be changed from switch to set

15. If you find a shiny pokemon, you're allowed to catch it.
