Would your OCs survive a nuzlocke? ——— Yes. Given Nuzlockes are primarily the same as Competitive Battles, Elio would survive (and most likely thrive in) a Nuzlocke if he was forced into one. But in that case, he would use a new team altogether given the "faint = death" rule, and he's waaaaaay~ too attached to his current melanistic team for him to subject them to such a horrendous rule.
