X · Y
Generation VI introduced 72 new Pokémon across Kalos — the smallest generation by new Pokémon count — but added two major systems: Mega Evolution and the Fairy type. Mega Evolution allowed certain Pokémon to temporarily transform into more powerful forms during battle, reshaping the competitive metagame. Fairy type was introduced as an 18th type specifically to counter Dragon-type dominance in competitive play. Greninja (Ash-Greninja) became one of the most iconic Pokémon of the era.

Challenge Run Tip
X and Y are considered easier than most other mainline games, which makes them a good entry point for first-time Nuzlocke players. Experienced challenge runners often prefer other generations, but X/Y's accessibility and large regional Pokédex make them a reasonable choice for randomizer runs.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many Pokémon are in Generation 6?
Generation 6 (Kalos) introduced 72 new Pokémon, from Chespin (#650) to Diancie/Hoopa/Volcanion (#716–720). It's the smallest generation by new Pokémon count but introduced the 18th type — Fairy.
What is Mega Evolution?
Mega Evolution is a temporary transformation available to certain Pokémon during battle when holding a specific Mega Stone. It boosts stats significantly and sometimes changes the Pokémon's type or ability. It was introduced in Gen 6 and present in Gen 6 and Gen 7 games, but not in Gen 8 or 9.
Why was the Fairy type added in Gen 6?
Fairy was added primarily to counter Dragon types, which had become dominant in competitive play due to their limited weaknesses (Ice and Dragon only) and access to powerful moves like Outrage and Draco Meteor. Fairy is immune to Dragon and super-effective against it, significantly balancing the competitive metagame.
