What it does to a run

The physical/special split lands here — old sets stop reading the way they used to.
Pre-National-Dex Sinnoh is short on Fire types; Ponyta is effectively it.
Battles and menus are slow, which adds up over a long run.

Where runs die

Roark, if you picked Chimchar
Fantina
Cynthia's Garchomp and Spiritomb

Starters

The pick that decides your first gym.

The gauntlet

Open as splits →

The ace is the highest-level Pokémon on that team, and the cap is its level in the standard release — the number a Hardcore run caps at for that segment.
