I did a bunch of training in order to evolve the team to the next level and surely that made it a lot easier too. Some of them couldn't evolve and some were degenerated along the way but most of the team made it to Ultimate with no issues. It was smooth sailing for the most part.
Then I reached the boss and my highest level mon that had just evolved died on the first turn before getting to do anything. I guess nuzlockes be like that sometimes regardless of what game you are running.
Also, getting rid of your party members is a lot more hardcore in this. There is no releasing them back to the wild or saying goodbyes, you are straight up erasing them and are warned several times you are deleting them from existence. It kinda hurts.
