This is a more unpredictable variant of the Nuzlocke Challenge. In this variant, any Pokémon caught must immediately be traded using [[Wonder Trade]] and the received Pokémon is used instead. Typically, this comes with a level restriction where if the received Pokémon is more than a certain number of levels higher than the original Pokémon, it must be traded again until an appropriate-level Pokémon is received. | This is a more unpredictable variant of the Nuzlocke Challenge.

=="Soul Link" Variant== | |||
This is a linked variant of the Nuzlocke Challenge that is to be played by more than one player. There are extra rules for this: | |||
* Pokémon captured in one game are considered linked to the other player's game. This means [[starter Pokémon]] are linked, as well as each player's Pokémon caught in each location. | |||
* If a Pokémon faints, both it and the linked Pokémon are considered "dead". | |||
* If one player fails to catch the first encounter in each area, the other player must either release it or not catch it at all. | |||
* If a Pokémon is placed into the PC, the linked Pokémon must also be put into the PC. | |||
There are also some other rules that are followed in some Soul Link variant challenges: | |||
* Restricting the use of shared types between the teams, meaning that no Pokémon on either team may share the same primary type. | |||
* Use randomized copies of the games, to promote greater Pokémon and type variety between the teams, especially on early routes, where Pokémon selection is limited. | |||
