RINNE
RUNS
The three modes, what a finished run is worth, and what it takes to move up the ladder.
The three modes
All three share the same 3 revealed starters and the same 18 Gym Leaders, 4 offered per badge and 8 needed to advance. Once you are Champion the discount stops: the Top1 and every Hill defence are full strength in every mode. Each mode keeps its own ladder, so a Nuzlocke run is never measured against a Classic one.
| Mode | What changes |
|---|---|
| Classic | The easier difficulty. Every opponent up to the Elite Four is drawn from a weaker roster, about 9% weaker at your first badge and easing to 5% by your 6th. The Elite Four is drawn 3% weaker. |
| Pro | The same game at full strength, with nothing drawn weaker at any point. Blind pick is gone, so starters and wild encounters are revealed here like everywhere else. |
| Nuzlocke | Full strength like Pro, plus permadeath. A fainted Pokemon is gone for good, and there are no Revives. |
How a run is scored
Score is worked out once, when the run ends and you save it. Everything below is added together.
| Component | Points | What counts |
|---|---|---|
| Badges | 100 | Each Gym Badge earned |
| Elite Four | 60 | Each Elite Four member beaten |
| Trainers | 25 | Every route trainer beaten |
| Pokemon caught | 15 | Total catches in the run |
| Gold | 1 | Gold in hand at the end |
| Achievements | 25 | Each one unlocked. Iron Nuzlocke pays 100 instead |

Trainer ranks
Rank is lifetime EXP across every run you have ever saved, added up, with no multiplier. From Veteran up it also asks for finished runs, so EXP alone cannot fake a Champion.
| Rank | Lifetime EXP | And also |
|---|---|---|
| Rookie | Where everyone starts | |
| Ace | 10,000 | |
| Veteran | 30,000 | Champion 1 time or more |
| Elite | 50,000 | Champion 3 times or more |
| Champion | 150,000 | Champion 6 times or more, 151 species caught |
| Professor | 500,000 | Champion 10 times or more, 25 ranked PvP wins, 10 Pokemon raised |
Shiny Pokemon
Every wild encounter, starter pick and Legendary or Mythical encounter rolls its own independent chance of turning up shiny: 1 in 512. A shiny is cosmetic, it changes no stat. Eggs roll their own odds, on the Eggs page.
Automatic save
A run saves itself as you play. Close the browser mid-run and you can pick up where you left off, for up to 7 days. As a Guest that only works on the same device; signed in it is tied to your account, so you can carry on somewhere else.
