- *Optional Roll 3 and choose your ‘starter’ for a more pokemon flavored run
- Dupes Clause: When a Main breed is rolled for a run, that breed is removed from the pool. You may not use it again. A dead Beaclon main breed means no more Beaclon.
- Pokeball Clause: Run begins when you do your first week of training, not when Gadamon jumps you.
- Heart Clause: Hearts may be used after Rank C as long as the boost in stats does not bring you over stat cap.
