>>51493644I'd say Excadrill and Archeops. Excadrill just shits on so many things and has a phenomenal typing, and Archeops is a huge nuke button
and is my favorite pokemon, so I'd feel bad if it died. >>51494302I'd count it based on experience.
Your first Nuzlocke? Eh, you can get the gift encounter for free in addition to the route's encounter.
Fifth Nuzlocke? It's either the route encounter or the gift.
Tenth? Maybe think about banning it or sticking with the previous rule.
Ultimately, up to what you think is more fun. That's the joy of self-imposed challenges.
