Run modifiers
Optional rates and rules you can set when making a character.
The Tune this run step of the character wizard changes rates and rules for that character. As the wizard says: any change makes the run unsanctioned and is fixed for the life of the character. Modifiers can be used with every mode, Standard and Hardcore included. Setting a modifier back to its default counts as no change.
| Modifier | Choices | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Shiny rate | ×1 (1 in 8192) (default) ×2 (1 in 4096) ×4 (1 in 2048) ×8 (1 in 1024) ×16 (1 in 512) ×32 (1 in 256) ×64 (1 in 128) ×128 (1 in 64) ×256 (1 in 32) | Multiplies the odds that a wild Pokémon is shiny. The roll is the world server's. |

| Encounter rate | ×0.5 ×1 (default) ×2 | Multiplies how often grass, caves and water yield a fight. |
| Starting money | ¥0 ¥3,000 (default) ¥10,000 ¥50,000 | The wallet this character is born with. Written at create and never again. |
| Exp rate | ×0.5 ×1 (default) ×1.5 ×2 | Multiplies the experience a battle pays. The figure the server files is the multiplied one. |
| Prize money | ×0.5 ×1 (default) ×1.5 ×2 | Multiplies what a defeated trainer pays. |
| Level cap by badge | Off (default) On | No Pokémon rises above the level your badges already command. |
| No items in trainer battles | Off (default) On | Potions and their kind are refused while a trainer is on the other side. |
| Set battle style | Off (default) On | You are not offered a switch when an opponent sends out its next Pokémon. |
| One catch per route | Off (default) On | The first Pokémon you catch on a map is the only one that map will ever give you. |
| Permadeath box-lock | Off (default) On | A Pokémon that faints is locked in your PC for the rest of the run. |
The table above is generated from the server's own list for this release.
Notes
- Shiny rate starts from the Emerald odds of 1 in 8192; at ×256 it is 1 in 32. The roll is made on the server.
- Level cap by badge is described on Level caps.
- No items in trainer battles greys out the Bag in trainer battles; the server refuses the item as well.
- One catch per route counts per map. A second catch on a map is refused.
- Permadeath box-lock: a Pokémon that faints is moved to your PC and locked there for the rest of the run. Revives are refused in battle and hidden in the bag, and a whiteout empties the party.
Set battle style
The game never offers the switch prompt when an opponent sends out its next Pokémon, with or without this modifier, so choosing it changes nothing at the moment.
Not in the game yet
There is no Nuzlocke mode. One catch per route and Permadeath box-lock together are the closest thing.
