Challenge Runs

Challenge Runs are self-imposed challenges that a player can try to make the game harder or use Pokesweets that they would not normally have on their teams in normal runs.

## Minimalist Runs

These challenges have restriction rules that make the game a harder, which adds a challenge.

These restrictions can range from having no items, to only being able to use one Type of Pokesweet

.

### **Monotype Run**

A Monotype Run is a challenge where a player is only allowed to use a Pokésweet that comes under a typing

#### **Main Rules**

* Any Pokésweet that is NOT the player's chosen typing of their choice is not allowed to be caught or put into their team; e.g: Blueberry Only Runs cannot have a Ariacake on their team, because it is a Raspberry type
* **Dual Typings** are still allowed, e.g: Beigeon can be used in a Chocolate Only Run, due to being both a Strawberry AND Chocolate type.
* If there is an HM Slave that is not the same type as the team, it must NOT be allowed to battle; if that HM Slave is forced into battle, it must be allowed to faint

A list of Pokésweet categories can be found listed below that can be used in Monotype Runs & the earliest assessable Pokésweet (as a Starter) of that type:

**Note: Types that are NOT accessible before the 1st gym badge are excluded**

* Vanilla Type Pokésweets - **Starter:** **Meowffin** (at Cookie Meadow)
* Strawberry Type Pokésweets - **Starter:** **Strawander** (at Cookie Village/Cinna's Lab)
* Orange Type Pokésweets - **Starter:** **Popsichu** (at Donut Plains)
* Blueberry Type Pokésweets - **Starter:** **Rattatart** (at Apple Road/Pudding City)
* Raspberry Type Pokésweets - **Starter:** **Licorita** (at Cookie Meadow)
* Cherry Type Pokésweets - **Starter:** Brownisaur (at Cookie Village/Cinna's Lab)
* Apple Type Pokésweets - **Starter:** Squirpie (at Cookie Village/Cinna's Lab)
* Lime Type Pokésweets - **Starter:** **Licorita** (at Cookie Meadow)
* Chocolate Type Pokésweets - **Starter:** **Brownisaur** (at Cookie Village/Cinna's Lab)

#### **Possible Issues**

Grape Type Pokésweets cannot be found until after the 1st Gym Badge. The earliest accessible Grape Type is Cupop in the Rock Candy Mine

Lemon Type Pokésweets cannot be found until after the 1st Gym Badge. The earliest accessible Lemon Type is Lemeod in the Rock Candy Mine

Banana Type Pokésweets cannot be found until after the 2nd Gym Badge. The earliest accessible Banana Type is Banvy, Mawnana & Bananaby at Banana Road

### **Solo Run**

A Solo Run is a challenge where only **one** Pokesweet is ever allowed to battle, e.g: a Strawander only run only allows the player to use Starwander & its evolutions.

**No Evolution Solo Runs** are a much harder variant of this challenge, so a Pokésweet like Strawander is not allowed to evolve at all & is stuck as a Strawander.

#### **Main Rules**

* If it is a No Evolution Solo Run, the Pokésweet used in this run is NOT allowed to evolve.
* HM Slaves must ONLY be used as HM Slaves; they must NEVER land a hit or contribute to a battle. If they end up in a battle, they must do nothing & be allowed to faint.
* No glitches, cheats, or hacks are allowed, except in the case of changing a starter to a Pokésweet not accessable early-game

#### **Possible Issues**

In Pokémon Sweet, **since almost ALL battles are Double Battles**, this challenge will seem impossible to do without having all the HM Slaves on the team fainting everytime a battle is started.

This can be worked around by having HM slaves at low levels, which guarantees that they'll get OH'KO'd before being able to move, & then by using Healing Items, such as Full Restores outside of battle instead of using Pokésweet Centers. This will leave all HM Slaves fainted.

### **No Evolution Run**

A no Evolution Run is a challenge where any Pokésweets that can evolve are not allowed to evolve, e.g: a starter such as Brownisaur is not allowed to evolve into Chocosaur, or a Cupvee cannot be evolved into any of the Cupveelutions.

#### **Main Rules**

* No single evolution Pokésweets are allowed, since they do NOT evolve
* Rare Sweets are NOT allowed; these are basically Legendary Pokésweets, & just like Legendary Pokemon, they cannot be used in this run; Cottonbun is an exception, however, since it is basically a pseudo-legendary unlocked after beating the Pastriots 4.
* No glitches, cheats, or hacks are allowed

### **No Catch Run**

A no Catch Run (also known as a No Pokéballs Run or No Catching Challenge) is a challenge where no Wild Pokésweet is allowed to be caught at all, restricting the player to only Gift Pokésweets & their starter.

#### **Main Rules**

* No Wild Pokésweets are allowed to be caught; they can only be fainted for exp, or fled from using Run.
* Any Sweetballs, or any other forms of Pokéball received MUST be either sold for money, or tossed, to prevent accidental use, which may cost a run.
* No glitches, cheats, or hacks are allowed

A list of Pokésweets that can be obtained without catching or use of Pokéballs are listed below:

* Brownisaur - From Cinna's Lab at Cookie Village; if it wasn't the player's starter, **both** starters they didn't choose are obtainable at the Cooking Dojo
* Chocosaur - Evolve Brownisaur
* Fudgasaur - Evolve Chocosaur
* Squirpie - From Cinna's Lab at Cookie Village; if it wasn't the player's starter, **both** starters they didn't choose are obtainable at the Cooking Dojo
* Tartortle - Evolve Squirpie
* Piestoise - Evolve Tartortle
* Strawander - From Cinna's Lab at Cookie Village; if it wasn't the player's starter, **both** starters they didn't choose are obtainable at the Cooking Dojo
* Straweleon - Evolve Strawander
* Strawizard - Evolve Straweleon
* Rattatart - From a baker in Pudding City if she is given 4 **Oran berries** & 4 **Pecha berries**
* Raticake - Evolve the Rattatart obtained from Pudding City
* Cupvee - From a baker in Orange City if she's given 2 **Oran berries**, 2 **Pecha berries**, 2 **Chesto berries**, & 2 **Cheri berries**. More Cupvees can be baked!
* Beigeon - Evolve a Cupvee; more than one Cupvee is obtainable
* Vapeareon - Evolve a Cupvee; more than one Cupvee is obtainable
* Plumbreon - Evolve a Cupvee; more than one Cupvee is obtainable
* Tortoal - From a baker in Berry City if she is given 4 **Chesto berries**; unlike all the other obtainable Pokésweets, Tortoal cannot evolve
* Cottonbun - From Chocobun after beating the game.
* Chocobun - Evolve Cottonbun

#### **Possible Issues**

Cottonbun & Chocobun, two of the valid Pokésweets for this run are only obtainable post-game. The only things left that this Pokésweet could take part in is Gym Rematches, the Vanilla Dome & Ginger Arena, fighting Baby Daisy, Clown Adder & Rocker Jake who appear at Cookie Meadow, & rematching the Pastriots 4 at Cake Castle, in order to fight the new champion, Marisa.

### **No Mart Run**

A no Mart Run (also known as a Hobo Run, No Pokémart Run or in this case, No Sweetmart Run) is a challenge where no items are allowed to be purchased from a Mart. This forces the player to conserve any items that they find outside of a mart. This **ALSO INCLUDES** the NPCs that sell healing items, & the Rainbow City Mall.

#### **Main Rules**

* No glitches, cheats, or hacks are allowed
* Purchasable items are banned; items cannot be bought from a Sweetmart or an NPC; a list of Sweetmarts & NPCs that must be avoided is on this wiki.
* No items can be sold at a Sweetmart; unwanted items can only be tossed.
* Items that are obtained for free by completing a task from an NPC, such as beating all Fishermen on Cookie Bridge to get 5 Ultra Balls from a Policeman are still allowed.
* Trading Repels for Berries is still allowed; however, Repels must NOT be bought from a Sweetmart, or the NPC that sells them.
* Items obtained via the Pickup Ability are also allowed.
* The songs that can be bought from the Dukebox are still allowed to be purchased, since these do not affect the run in any way.

**Tips**

* Prioritize catching a Meowffin at the start of the run; Meowffin has the ability Pickup, which will help the player find free items, such as Sweetballs, Berries, Repels, Rare Candy & Healing Items. Later on, if possible catch a Gumchoo, since it also has Pickup. Luckily, Meowffin & Gumchoo will keep the Pickup Ability if they evolve into Cupcat & Gumtic.
* Gift Pokésweets are still obtainable, but it is now much harder to get them. They can be obtained by collecting berries from berry bushes, or by trading any Repels obtained via the Pickup Ability to the NPC found in the house at Orange Orchard.

### **Minimalist Catch Run**

A Minimalist Catch Run is a challenge where only one Pokésweet is allowed to be caught per route. Gift Pokésweets & the starter are allowed, too.

#### **Main Rules**

* No glitches, cheats, or hacks are allowed
* Only one Wild Pokésweet is allowed to be caught per route; after that, future Pokésweets found in the same route can only be fainted for exp, or fled from using Run.
* **All Gift Pokésweets** & **Baked Pokésweets** can be obtained as normal
* If an encounter is a Pokésweet that the player already has, the Pokésweet can be fled from or fainted, & the player can get another encounter on the same route instead. This is known as the **Duplication Clause**.
* Unlike a Nuzlocke, Pokésweets captured or gifted to the player don't have to be given a nickname

## Nuzlocke Challenges

### **Nuzlocke**

A Nuzlocke is a challenge where if a Pokésweet faints, it actually dies, & must be either released or put into the PC in a "Death Box".

The goal of this run is to beat the Pastriots 4 & the Champion, & catch all Rare Pokésweets to win, without getting a Black Out.

### **Main Rules**

* Only the **1st Pokésweet encountered in each Route** MUST be captured; if it **faints**, the encounter is lost & no Pokésweets can be obtained from that route. Any other Pokésweets on that route afterwards must either be fainted or fled from.
* If an encounter is a Pokésweet that the player already has, the Pokésweet can be fled from or fainted, & the player can get another encounter on the same route instead. This is known as the **Duplication Clause**.
* ALL Pokésweets captured or gifted to the player must be given a **nickname**
* **All Gift Pokésweets** & **Baked Pokésweets** can be obtained as normal
* If the player has one of their **Pokésweets fainted**, the fainted sweet is considered "dead" & must be **released** or put into a **Death Box**. Common names for a death box are: "Death Box", "Dead", "Died", "Death", "Killed", "Graveyard", "Heaven", "Afterlife" & "R.I.P". Pokésweets that go into the Death Box are not allowed to battle again.

#### **Possible Issues**

The Rivals will ALWAYS challenge the player at the same time, & don't give the player chance to heal; a few Nuzlockes have been failed because of this

Ariacakes are a **big early game threat**; they tend to spam Hunger Touch, which **can inflict the Hunger status**, this rom hack's equivalent of the Poison status. Hunger can cause a Pokésweet to die outside of battle if the player is not prepared to bring along some healing items.

**Certain trainers can have Pokésweets that are overleveled** & the player will not be prepared for these battles; Two major examples of these types of trainers are found in Black Forest: Sweet Pie Lilly, who has Level 3 Pokesweets that are level 40+ & Sweet Pie Lip, who has two lv.45 Pokesweets, one of them being a Velvevoir with Destiny Bond.

Cen, one of the Pastriots 4 in Cake Castle has a Mawnana with Horn Drill, a **1-Hit K.O move**

### **Typelocke**

A Typelocke is similar to a Nuzlocke, but if a Pokésweet faints, whatever typing it has dies alongside of it, & the player is not allowed to use those typings again.

#### **Main Rules**

* Only the **1st Pokésweet encountered in each Route** MUST be captured; if it **faints**, the encounter is lost & no Pokésweets can be obtained from that route. Any other Pokésweets on that route afterwards must either be fainted or fled from.
* If an encounter is a Pokésweet that the player already has, the Pokésweet can be fled from or fainted, & the player can get another encounter on the same route instead. This is known as the **Duplication Clause**.
* ALL Pokésweets captured or gifted to the player must be given a **nickname**
* **All Gift Pokésweets** & **Baked Pokésweets** can be obtained as normal
* If the player has one of their **Pokésweets fainted**, the fainted sweet is considered "dead" & must be **released** or put into a **Death Box**. Common names for a death box are: "Death Box", "Dead", "Died", "Death", "Killed", "Graveyard", "Heaven", "Afterlife" & "R.I.P". Pokésweets that go into the Death Box are not allowed to battle again.
* In a Typelocke, if a **Pokésweet dies, then their typing cannot be used again**. E.g: their starter Fudgasaur dies. This causes the Cherry & Chocolate types to die alongside of them. So, the player is forced to box their Beigeon & Bananibuzz in their team, & ALL their Cherry & Chocolate types into the Death Box. They also can no longer catch Pokésweets of those typings, so they cannot catch the legendary Pokésweet, Reginger, since it is a Chocolate type.

### **Survivorlocke**

Created by Altissimo, a Survivorlocke is identical to a Nuzlocke in every way, but instead, if a Pokésweet dies, & must be either released or put into the PC in a "Death Box", & then ***replaced*** **by the same Pokésweet that killed it**; e.g: an Applin gets killed by an Ariacake; that Applin must be replaced by a Spinacake, which must evolve into an Ariacake. Later on, that same Ariacake is killed by a Flangoose. That Ariacake must then be replaced by a Flangoose.

The goal of this run is to beat the Pastriots 4 & the Champion, & catch all Rare Pokésweets to win, without getting a Black Out.

### **Main Rules**

* Only the **1st Pokésweet encountered in each Route** MUST be captured; if it **faints**, the encounter is lost & no Pokésweets can be obtained from that route. Any other Pokésweets on that route afterwards must either be fainted or fled from, unless the player is forced to return in order to replace a dead team member with a Pokésweet that has killed a previous Pokésweet.
* If an encounter is a Pokésweet that the player already has, the Pokésweet can be fled from or fainted, & the player can get another encounter on the same route instead. This is known as the **Duplication Clause**. This **will not apply** with Pokésweets that have killed a player's Pokésweet, however, as they will replace the fainted Pokésweet.
* ALL Pokésweets captured or gifted to the player must be given a **nickname**
* **All Gift Pokésweets** & **Baked Pokésweets** can be obtained as normal
* If the player has one of their **Pokésweets fainted**, the fainted sweet is considered "dead" & must be **released** or put into a **Death Box**. Common names for a death box are: "Death Box", "Dead", "Died", "Death", "Killed", "Graveyard", "Heaven", "Afterlife" & "R.I.P". Pokésweets that go into the Death Box are not allowed to battle again. That same Pokésweet must put into the Death Box or released must then be replaced by the same Pokésweet that killed it.

#### **Possible Issues**

The Rivals will ALWAYS challenge the player at the same time, & don't give the player chance to heal; a few Nuzlockes have been failed because of this

Ariacakes are a **big early game threat**; they tend to spam Hunger Touch, which **can inflict the Hunger status**, this rom hack's equivalent of the Poison status. Hunger can cause a Pokésweet to die outside of battle if the player is not prepared to bring along some healing items.

**Certain trainers can have Pokésweets that are overleveled** & the player will not be prepared for these battles; Two major examples of these types of trainers are found in Black Forest: Sweet Pie Lilly, who has Level 3 Pokesweets that are level 40+ & Sweet Pie Lip, who has two lv.45 Pokesweets, one of them being a Velvevoir with Destiny Bond.

Cen, one of the Pastriots 4 in Cake Castle has a Mawnana with Horn Drill, a **1-Hit K.O move**

### **Sourlocke**

The Sourlocke is basically this game's version of a Rocketlocke; it follows basic Nuzlocke rules, only this time, players are only allowed to use Pokésweets that Team Sour Grunts & the Admin use.

The run is officially over once the player defeats Dark Chocobun, gets the egg from Chocobun & *releases* the Cottonbun that hatches from it in order to "kill" Chocobun & destroy Sweet Land.

#### **Main Rules**

* Only the **1st Pokésweet encountered in each Route** MUST be captured; if it faints, the encounter is lost & no Pokésweets can be obtained from that route. Any other Pokésweets on that route afterwards must either be fainted or fled from.
* ALL Pokésweets must be given a **nickname**
* **Gift Pokésweets** & **Pokésweets that are cooked by NPCs**, such as Cupvee **cannot be obtained.** They would never give Pokésweets to Team Sour. However, the two gift starters at the Dojo can be taken, as they have been "stolen".
* A fainted Pokésweet is considered as "freed" & must be released or put into a box named as "Freed"
* Players can only use Pokésweets that are used by Team Sour Grunts or the Team Sour Admin; a list of useable Pokésweets is listed below
* Try to avoid battles with other Team Sour Grunts & fight everyone who ISN'T part of Team Sour

**Pokésweets that Team Sour use:**

* Eggby & Egglove
* Rattatart & Raticake - DON'T take the Rattatart from the baker at Pudding City
* Doslug & Slugnut
* Cupop & Lolliwak
* Cottgrape & Whimsiwine
* Gumble & Gumballer
* Likichef & Berochef
* Migum & Goman
* Kangascake
* Caratorb & Caratrode
* Creampuff & Creamtuff
* Meowffin & Cupcat
* Mawnana
* Banvy, Banvine & Banperior
* Flangoose
* Candix
* Mintanyte & Mintastar
* Furmint - Evolve a Mintret
* Lillicake - Evolve a Buttercup
* Parfelure - Evolve a Parfwit or Parfure
* Shroompie - Evolve a Limeshroom
* Teacakes - Must eveolve a Teana
* Velvevoir - Must evolve a Malts or Kirlicake
* Swellpeep - Must evolve a Peepow
* Bananibuzz - Must evolve a Bananaby
* Samurcone - Must evolve a Oshacone or Dewice
* Pawnsour - Must evolve a Bisour
* Cinnawrath - Must evolve a Cinnawag or Cinnawhirl
* Bertzel - Must evolve a Sherzel
* Torteringe - Must evolve a Tortewig or Meringle
* Gummaring - Must evolve a Gummiursa

#### **Possible Issues**

Quite a large number of Pokesweets need evolving before they can battle

### Piratelocke

The Black Sugar Pirate Run is another variant of a Rocketlocke; it follows basic Nuzlocke rules, only this time, players are only allowed to use Pokésweets that Black Sugar Pirate trainers use.

The run is officially over once the player captures all of the Rare Pokésweets & defeats Dark Chocobun in order to capture the Chocobun sisters.

#### **Main Rules**

* Only the 1st Pokésweet encountered in each Route MUST be captured; if it faints, the encounter is lost & no Pokésweets can be obtained from that route. Any other Pokésweets on that route afterwards must either be fainted or fled from.
* ALL Pokésweets must be given a nickname
* Gift Pokésweets & Pokésweets that are cooked by NPCs, such as Cupvee cannot be obtained; no one wants to gift a Pokésweet to a dirty thieving pirate. However, the two gift starters at the Dojo can be taken, as they have been "stolen".
* A fainted Pokésweet is considered as "freed" & must be released or put into a box named as "Freed"
* Players can only use Pokésweets that are used by Black Sugar Pirates; a list of useable Pokésweets is listed below
* Try to avoid battles with other Black Sugar Pirates & fight everyone who ISN'T a Black Sugar Pirate to "plunder" them for their sweet loot!
* Do NOT ignore items; pirates like to find treasure & prefer to search & steal, rather than buying them from Pokésweet Marts.

**Pokésweets that Black Sugar Pirates can use:**

* Fudgasaur - Must evolve a Brownisaur
* Tartortle & Piestoise - Must evolve a Squirpie
* Creampuff & Creamtuff
* Cupcat - Must evolve a Meowffin
* Leaforice - Must evolve a Licorita. It must NOT be evolved into a Liganium
* Cottomoth - Must evolve a Cottonat
* Cookietune - Must evolve a Cookietot
* Ariacake - Must evolve a Spinacake
* Raicicle - Must evolve a Popsichu
* Lipsynx
* Pumpkinete - Must evolve a Cornet
* Bisour - Must evolve a Pawnsour
* Cweamicent - Must evolve an Icefish
* Cinnawhirl & Cinnawrath - Must evolve a Cinnawag
* Oshacone, Dewice & Samurcone
* Chocolish - Must evolve a Chocolite. It must NOT be evolved into an Icesundae
* Pieduck & Golpie
* Gumtic - Must evolve a Gumchoo
* Migum & Goman
* Doslug & Slugnut
* Grapipom - Must evolve a Grapom
* Mawnana
* Meringle & Torteringe - Must evolve a Tortewig
* Banvine & Banperior - Must evolve a Banvy
* Gummaring - Must evolve a Gummiursa
* Bananibuzz - Must evolve a Bananaby
* Swellpeep - Must evolve a Peepow
* Lemdrop
* Raticake - Must evolve a Rattatart - DON'T take the Rattatart from the baker at Pudding City
* Mintastar - Must evolve a Mintanyte

#### **Possible Issues**

Two Pokésweets that Black Sugar Pirates use are unobtainable, due to being Gift Pokésweets. These are: Plumbreon & Tortoal

A Rattatart can be obtained from a baker at Pudding City. However, this is against the rules of the challenge run & must be refused. There are luckily wild Rattatarts found in other areas later on.

## Unique Challenges

These runs are not as common as the runs mentioned above; if a player is looking for a new challenge to try that not many others have tried, then these runs below are good choices:

### **No Damage Run**

A No Damage Run is an extremely hard challenge where a player must get through the game without ever taking damage.

However, this particular rom hack will be almost impossible thanks to the double rival battle at the beginning.

#### **Main Rules**

No cheating or hacking allowed

If a Pokésweet takes damage, the player must soft reset the game & reload their last save; if they have not got past the 1st rival battles, they must start over

The game can only be saved after a gym badge is earned, or after grinding, as long as they have not taken damage.

### **Rainbow Roulette Challenge**

A Rainbow Roulette Challenge is where the player must spin a roulette with different colors on it, or a generator that randomly picks out a color. Whatever the roulette lands on, or whatever the generator picks, the player must find & catch a Pokésweet with that color on it. If they are unable to find that Pokésweet in less than 3 encounters, they will be unable to catch anymore Pokésweets from that route.

The colors listed are:

* Red
* Blue (Aqua/Teal)
* Yellow
* Pink
* Green
* Purple (Lilac/Violet/Indigo)
* Orange (Peach/Amber)
* Brown (Gold)
* Grey
* Black
* White (Beige/Cream)

**Main Rules**

* Only a **Pokésweet that matches the color that was picked the roulette can be caught**; the player has three tries to find that encounter on the route they're on. If the Pokésweet is exactly the same as the one they just fled from, it doesn't count as a try until a different Pokésweet is run into. If the player is unable to find a Pokésweet that has the color on the roulette, they lose the encounter on that route.
* **If the player causes the correct color of Pokésweet to faint**, that encounter is lost & no Pokésweets can be obtained from that route. Any other Pokésweets on that route afterwards must either be fainted for exp, or fled from using Run.
* If an encounter is a Pokésweet that the player already has, the Pokésweet can be fled from or fainted, & the player can get another encounter on the same route instead. This is known as the **Duplication Clause**.
* ALL Pokésweets captured or gifted to the player must be given a **nickname**
* **All Gift Pokésweets** & **Baked Pokésweets** can be obtained as normal

### **Alter Ego Challenge**

Created by Codraroll, the Alter Ego Challenge is where the player has to manage two teams, one in Box 1, & another in Box 2.

Up until the 1st City that contains a Gym, any Pokésweet caught is added to the team.

As soon as the team is full, the newest Pokésweets that end up in the PC must be moved to Box 2.

Upon beating the 1st gym, the current party must be deposited into Box 1, & the party in Box 2 must be withdrawn & used until the 2nd gym. Any Pokésweets caught during Team 2's turn are added to Box 2, & can only be added to Team 2.

After the 3rd gym is beaten, Team 2 must be boxed into Box 2, & Team 1 must be withdrawn again. Any newly caught Pokésweets will end up in Box 1 & can only be added to Team 1.

So, after every Gym Badge obtained, the team needs to be swapped to over to the other team.

### **The N Challenge (New Team Every Gym)**

In this challenge, a player is only able to keep their current team for one gym. After the gym is defeated & a badge is earned, the player cannot catch any Pokésweets from previous routes & can only catch Pokésweets from newly unlocked routes, & must replace their entire team with them. This will happen with every new gym badge earned.

E.g: Their starter, Popsichu, Licorita, Creampuff & Rattatart on their team must be released or boxed permanently, & must be replaced by the Pokésweets found in Cake Hills, Orange Hills & the Rock Candy Mine, the newest routes. After the 2nd gym, they must do the same, but replace their team with Pokésweets from Lemon Way. This also applies to Gift Pokésweets, such as Cupvee, which will be replaced by either the 2nd or 3rd gym.

### **Theme Team Runs**

Theme Team Runs are challenges where players can make a team themed around something, such as a cartoon, person, place, etc.

Here are a few template theme teams:

* Starter Theme Team - Brownisaur/Squirpie/Strawander, Licorita line, Tortewig line, Lolliplup line, Banvy line & Oshacone line.
* Color Theme Team - (e.g: Red Team)
* Dark Cookbook Entry Team
* Fluffy Team - Chocowool/Chocofluff, Cottonat, Snotree/Cantree, Cottgrape/Whimsiwine, Macaloon & Flangoose

### **MonoGen Run**

A MonoGen Run is a challenge where a player can only use Pokésweets that are based on Pokémon from a certain generation

## Speedruns

### **Any%**

The goal is to beat the game as fast as possible, & try to get a World Record.

### **Glitchless%**

The goal is to beat the game as fast as possible, & try to get a World Record. But in a Glitchless Run, no exploits or glitches are allowed.

### **Softlock%**

The goal is to find a way to softlock the game as fast as possible.

### **Monotype%**

The goal is to beat the game as fast as possible, but only using one Pokésweet Type. The rules are identical to that of a standard Monotype Run.

#### **Main Rules**

* Any Pokésweet that is NOT the player's chosen typing of their choice is not allowed to be caught or put into their team; e.g: Blueberry Only Runs cannot have a Ariacake on their team, because it is a Raspberry type
* **Dual Typings** are still allowed, e.g: Beigeon can be used in a Chocolate Only Run, due to being both a Strawberry AND Chocolate type.
* If there is an HM Slave that is not the same type as the team, it must NOT be allowed to battle; if that HM Slave is forced into battle, it must be allowed to faint

A list of Pokésweet categories can be found listed below that can be used in Monotype Runs & the earliest assessable Pokésweet (as a Starter) of that type:

**Note: Types that are NOT accessible before the 1st gym badge are excluded**
