Rules:

• Starter determined by last digit of ID number (1-3 is Rowlet, 4-6 is Litten, 7-9 is Popplio, 0 is choice)
  
• A fainted Pokemon is dead and must be released
• 1 capture allowed per area per encounter type (I.E a capture via fishing, surfing or shaking spot can be done on top of the traditional encounter.) Only the first encountered Pokemon with any method may be captured
• Routes divided into distinct or named sections, I.E. cave interior vs exterior, qualify as different areas
• Areas that do not allow capture for narrative, I.E. Trial sites, are not restricted by the first encounter rule until capture is allowed on that route.
• Gift Pokemon are allowed if they are not overleveled for the trainer (Event Munchlax is allowed, Ash Greninja is not)
• Trading is only allowed for evolution, and must end with the Pokemon having the Nuzlocke trainers’ ID
• Pokemon Refresh and PokePelago are allowed.  Pokemon Refresh use is encouraged to better bond with Pokemon.
• Pokemon who join the box through Pokepelago may be used in the case of a dead Pokemon but cannot be used unless a Pokemon dies.
• Exp Share is disallowed and Exp Share must be turned off upon reception.
• Pokemon switching is to be locked to Set, trainers will switch out before you can.
• If the first Pokemon encountered calls for help, any summoned Pokemon may be captured within the same encounter, even if the initial Pokemon is defeated.  A capture will end the encounter and no other capture may be made with the same encounter method in that area.
• All captured Pokemon must be named whether they are used or not.
• If the first Pokemon encountered in an area is the same species, or part of the same family as an already captured Pokemon (appears on the same Pokedex page), then it may be knocked out without negating the capture for that route.
• Shiny Pokemon encountered do not count for the capture restrictions
• In the event of a team wipe, the Nuzlocke is over and must be abandoned or restarted from scratch.
• Breeding is allowed with captured Pokemon, additional captures are not allowed for breeding purposes, trainer must work with what they have.
• Legendaries (Title legends, Tapu and UBs) may be captured without route restriction, but cannot be soft reset.
• Nuzlocke will continue until trainer has reached the Battle Tree and defeated either Red or Blue.  After defeating a classic champion of choice, capture restrictions will no longer be enforced and free capture will be allowed.
• Defeated party members may only be boxed rather than released if they are capture restricted (Starter, version exclusives, fossils, etc.)  These Pokemon may be placed in a grave box and traded away to another game, Pokemon received in trade for Pokemon in the grave box must be released
• New clothes do not need to be purchased, but a new outfit is highly encouraged..
• All revives given or found must be sold and cannot be used to revive fallen allies.
• Player is allowed 3 save wipes/soft resets.  If data is lost from the system losing power, or from being turned off without saving more than 3 times the Nuzlocke is forfeited.  A save wipe is the only way to revive a fallen Pokemon, but runs the risk of losing rare catches.  A save wipe cannot be used in an attempt to capture a legendary if the attempt failed. Save often, use them wisely.

Feel free to use these rules or adjust them for your own Nuzlocke runs, and good luck.

Edit: You cannot see your trainer ID until after you have chosen your starter but the ID is set at the beginning. The trainer may save at Mahalo trail to reset if starter choice does not match the trainer ID, or the trainer may roll a D10 as available here
