Goal: Defeat the Elite 4 after completing Stark Mountain.

1: Once your pokemon faints, it is considered dead. The pokemon must be stored in the pc box for the rest of the run.

2: Only 1 pokemon per area. It must be your first new encounter. If you fail to capture the pokemon it counts as your encounter with the pokemon
and you are no longer allowed to catch the pokemon for the rest of the run or anything else in the same area.

3: No catching other evolutions of already encountered pokemon.

4: If 1st encounter of a route is a pokemon you already have, you have 3 tries to find something else, equaling maximum of 3 encounters total.

5: You are not allowed to have a pokemon higher leveled than the next gym leader's highest leveled pokemon prior to the fight. If your pokemon
is higher leveled, it must be immediately placed in the pc box until the next gym leader is defeated. The maximum allowed level before the gym
leader fights will be listed below.

Mesprit, Uxie, Azelf, Cresselia, Rotom, Moltres, Articuno, Zapdos, Suicune, Entei, Raikou, and Heatran.
For pokemon that wander, it still must follow rule 2 and 4. If you choose to transfer one up from a generation 3 game, follow rule 7.

9. All items are allowed for use.

10. If a pokemon that has HMs faints, it is no longer allowed to use the HMs. However, if you are softlocked and the only way out is to use a
