>>46803820>Anyone that uses a rod to catch a Magikarp in a nuzlocke shouldn't be playing a nuzlocke.Using the tools provided to you in order to maximize your chance of success is the fun in a Nuzlocke, especially once you get past your first Nuzlocke and aren't emotionally traumatized by losing Pokemon.
>>available at 100% in every route with water with the old rodAnd? There are tons of staple pokes that are available very consistently early in each gen.
>>bulky all around, big attack, good speedThis is true of many mons commonly used in Nuzlockes
>access to dragon dance so can sweep everything in the gamesIts still hard countered by electric which is far from a rare coverage tool. Maybe in Gen 3 this is an argument.
>Going out of your way to get it is breaking the spirit of a nuzlockeNo it isn't. The spirit of a nuzlocke isn't "use shitmons or whatever you stumble into"
