- No using items in battle.
- Cannot level Pokémon past the current Gym leaders stongest Pokemon.
- Chad cannot use the internet to look up game information/strategies.
- Chad must complete a challenge decided by the viewersif his team wipes.
- Pokémon nicknames are required.
- Duplicate claus; if Chad encounters a Pokémon from an evolutionary line he already has he gets a new encounter in that area.
