I forgot to clarify: a Nuzlocke run is with fainting resulting in immediate, permanent placement in the PC and only the first Pokemon found in routes/dungeons/towns can be caught.
In Route 204 (north of Jubilife), I caught Jesse, a male Budew. I probably won't use it, as I used the Roselia family in two playthroughs. I used the Shinx family before, but I'll keep Stephano around.
Here's something funny. In Oreburgh Gate, I caught a Geodude that I named Terrance ("Terra" = land). Just north of Oreburgh, I caught another Geodude that I named Terrince (I had caught Terrance in a premier ball, so this one is not as cool and also has worse physical stats). Then, in the Oreburgh Mine, I caught YET ANOTHER Geodude that I named Terranita (female and defensive but slow).
There you have it, 3 Geodudes. I only needed one, because Rock Smashing Roark's team is a brilliant idea. I had forgotten he had 3 Pokemon, but with 4 Defense Curls and 2 Rock Polishes up, Roark had no chance to deal much damage. I sweeped the entire gym without any healing nor any fainting. I almost ran out of Rock Smash PP, but my Geodude learned Magnitude right after the battle (which didn't demand such a strong move anyways). I also taught Geodude the Stealth Rock TM Roark gave me.
