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. | *'''"Wonderlocke"''': This is a more unpredictable variant of the Nuzlocke Challenge.

*'''Soul-Link''': Two player variant where both players' Pokémon are linked per encounter. So the first Pokémon encountered are linked together and if either dies then both die. Linked Pokémon must be in both players' parties, i.e. one player cannot have their linked Pokémon protected in a Box for instance or at the daycare. | |||
**Common additional rules include no duplicate types across both teams so if one player has a fire Pokémon the other cannot have a fire Pokémon. If an encounter results in both catches being the same type such as two normals then neither player can use those Pokémon. | |||
*'''Egglocke''': Player catches Pokémon 1 per route as normal, but instead of using the Pokémon they hatch a randomly generated egg. Usually this is done via trades or through cheat devices, where the egg Pokémon are chosen by a 3rd Party such as friends or a streaming audience. | |||
