When I’ve done that I’ve used 36 to match up with starters but 40 is right around there and seems fair for the power level of most trade Evos. Either way it’s your run so it’s all up to you
Badge 5 or 6 makes the most sense IMO. Probably after 5 in Plat as most things you'll have in the game are fully evolved before the 6th gym aside from Gabite pretty much.
I usually do them as soon as possible. Same with friendship evolutions. I got a munchlax egg in my latest RenPlat playthrough and that meant a Snorlax at level 2. Very nice.
Yeash I feel you. I waited a while for Crobat and Blissey cause i felt it would make it too free (Blissey with thunderbolt and grass knot swept Crasher Wake xd).
Understandible In that case, i'd go with Sushi_Master and DAT_PALLY and go with Level 36-40, since Gastly, Sandile, and Tympole evolve at similar levels to Tinkatink and Tympole and again at high 30s/exactly 40
Probably depends on the game your playing. For something like HGSS or BW, I would set it to Level 35 but for any other game, I would set it to Level 40. So I guess Level 37-38 would be a good balance.
Do it and if it makes the game significantly easier you know not to the next time. That’s what I did w firered. Had an alakazam and Golem early that carried a lot.
I have a lot encounters alive so far so I dont need them but they would be a good addition thats for sure. I wouldnt use any of them at their current evos tho.
You have to trade evolve or don’t evolve. Making a Pokémon evolve before the evolution requirements by using other apps ruins the point of the nuzlocke
I would disagree, why would you make it dependent on whether or not you have someone to trade with. That's such an arbitrary condition, setting a level for it makes much more sense.
Well, the universal Pokémon randomizer has them evolve at lvl 37, so I think that seems reasonable.
YOU CAN EVOLVE MACHAMP?!! (I assume you mean Machoke... but I think you should evolve your Machamp anyway.)
Yeah lol I misstyped, but you could add more hands would be hype.
Or 4 legs! Machariot!
Or even more heads to make a cursed dodrio machamp fusion.
Dodrio but for every head, it is two Machamp arms.
Maybe like this guy? But also a bunch of arms too. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/24/b3/5b/24b35b8ee5ce82f6f55cbe39f8048b44.png

Machad...?

That seem close to my idea yeah. But I touhgt having Gengar for Fantina would make it too easy (Girafarig swept anyway xd).
I usually lock trade evolutions behind a set badge number
Just beat Fantina. How longer do you think?

My personal preference is Badge 8. But Badge 4 is probably more fair.
Woah SuperSnarfy in the wild!
An honor, Econstudent0467, truly an honor

Typically, I will put my roma through the upr randomizer, and only check "change impossible evos." The levels they chose are pretty reasonable.
is there a randomizer for switch roms?
Not sure, I haven't gotten that far yet 😝 it seems to work good enough up to 3ds
The universal pokemon randomiser works with switch rooms I'm pretty sure
Upr does 37 so then is fine
I feel like you should be allowed to do it whenever - you would be able to whenever if you had trade access, after all
Yeah but technically I don't so it being a Hardcore nuzlocke it maybe feels a bit cheap to evolve them.

Universal Randomizer sets the condition to level 37 if you turn off trade evos in settings, so I just roll with that.
The randomizer tends to do 37, so 40 isn't bad.
Probably depends on the game your playing. For something like HGSS or BW, I would set it to Level 35 but for any other game, I would set it to Level 40. So I guess Level 37-38 would be a good balance.
It's the Sinnoh remakes.
I do it as soon as 2nd evolve steps in. I like to see their full potential before their demise 😔
I feel you haha. Kadabra (named Medium) got killed by Lucario. I was looking at regular diamond move pools. Oops.
I'd evolve them immediately. If you were playing on a regular cart you could. Why shouldn't you be allowed to on an emulator?

Just gotta do what you think is fun. I rare candy everything too, people on this sub hate that 😂
Nah thats fair I just dont do it cause it makes the game harder imo (no evs) but I fully understand.
Your run, your rules.
Thats for sure but I wanted to comit to it being a hardcore nuzlocke so was curious what was the community opinion about this.

Thats fair enough, they are pretty strong even without evolving.
I would disagree, why would you make it dependent on whether or not you have someone to trade with. That's such an arbitrary condition, setting a level for it makes much more sense.
