For over two decades, the core formula of Pokémon has remained comforting in its predictability: choose a starter, battle Gym Leaders in a set order, catch specific creatures on specific routes, and build a balanced team to challenge the Elite Four. However, for veteran players who have memorized type charts and speed tiers, this predictability can breed monotony. Enter the "Randomlocke"—a fusion of the brutal permadeath rules of the Nuzlocke challenge with the absolute chaos of a randomizer. When applied to Pokémon Ultra Sun, arguably the hardest official game in the series, this combination creates not just a playthrough, but a grueling survival horror strategy game. A Pokémon Ultra Sun Randomlocke is the ultimate test of a trainer because it replaces game knowledge with improvisation, trivializes traditional tier lists, and forces a deep, reactive mastery of Pokémon’s mechanical underbelly.
Ultra Necrozma is the run-killer. In the base game, it has base 157 in all stats. In a Randomlocke, it could have Wonder Guard (immune to non-super effective moves) or Huge Power. Conversely, it could have Truant. The player’s only recourse is the F.E.A.R. strategy (Focus Sash, Endeavor, Quick Attack) or a guaranteed OHKO move (Fissure, Sheer Cold). Since those moves are randomized and may appear on early route Pokémon, the player must hoard any Pokémon that learns a OHKO move as a “Necrozma Buster.” pokemon ultra sol randomlocke full
