1. Overview In a Nuzlocke challenge, level caps are a self-imposed rule preventing any Pokémon from exceeding the level of the next Gym Leader’s ace (or the Champion’s ace for the Elite Four). This prevents over-grinding and preserves difficulty, especially in Platinum , which is infamous for its high difficulty spike compared to Diamond/Pearl. nuzlocke level caps platinum
