To play in Nuzlocke Mode, simply choose 'Nuzlocke' and then 'yes' after the explanation. Once activated, this cannot be turned off, so it's recommended to be serious about doing a Nuzlocke run if you choose this. Any PokГ©mon encountered in a hidden grotto will be shiny in this mode. Any of your defeated PokГ©mon die permanently in Nuzlocke Mode, and blacking out results in a game over, wiping your save. Nuzlocke Mode - Before you start your game, during the intro sequence with Professor Rowan, you have the option of playing in the standard mode or opting into Nuzlocke Mode.This includes max IVs for all their PokГ©mon, increased EVs that become higher with each successive Gym, better abilities on their PokГ©mon, access to egg moves, and more secondary type diversity. Tougher Gym Leaders - All the Sinnoh Gym Leaders will have buffed up and/or changed teams to make them more challenging.You will also encounter characters you may not have been expecting to! This is inspired by the Colosseums in PokГ©mon Colosseum, and just like the ones in that game's story mode, you can level up during these battles. Each one requires you to beat five trainers in a row (four and a boss trainer) and results in a rare and powerful gift PokГ©mon for you. You can do the Single Battle Challenge, the Double Battle Challenge, and the Triple Battle Challenge. Here, you can participate in three different types of tournaments, though only one is unlocked when you first make it there. Hearthome Colosseum - To replace the Contest Hall since there are no contests in PokГ©mon Essentials, that building has been turned into the Hearthome Colosseum.There are new megas, too! The starters each have a mega, and some other Sinnoh PokГ©mon will have them as well. Megas - Mega forms make their return after their absence from the main game of Sun and Moon and their complete exclusion from Sword and Shield.They are half the price of the mainline games, so they cost $5000. In this game, the male NPC sells what he sold in the original, with the addition of Ability Capsules. Ability Capsules in Marts - In the original Platinum game, all the marts except for Sandgem Town's had two NPCs selling items.Every PokГ©mon in the game will be able to follow you in the overworld. Following PokГ©mon - The fan-favorite feature from HeartGold and SoulSilver makes its way to Sinnoh.If a PokГ©mon can learn an HM move, they can use the move in the field without needing it in their moveset! While the obstacles these HMs were tied to will remain, the HMs themselves have been removed. No HMs - Those familiar with the Sinnoh games know the pain of being practically forced to use a Bibarel due to the sheer amount of HMs required to get through the region.Every TM from Sun and Moon - All 100 TMs available in the Alola games will also be available here, along with some extras associated with Gym Leaders and for use in the field.USUM and SWSH both have a dex of 400 PokГ©mon each, with extra PokГ©mon obtainable that don't have dex entries. Expanded Sinnoh Dex - The Sinnoh PokГ©dex is pretty small when compared to those of modern PokГ©mon games, sitting at a maximum of 210 PokГ©mon with the expansion made in Platinum.
