Live overlay for OBS
Your team changes. So does your overlay.
Catches, evolutions, form changes and farewells appear on screen at the exact moment they happen. You play the Nuzlocke; NuzPoke keeps your audience up to date.
- Free
- No account
- One link for the whole stream
From zero to live
Four steps. One source in OBS.
No accounts, plugins or images to edit between battles. Set up the run once and the link keeps pace with your team.
-
01
Create the run
Name it, add the trainer and choose the game’s visual style.
-
02
Build the team
Search, filter and choose region, gender, form, color and nickname.
-
03
Design the overlay
Adjust arrangement, spacing, text, backgrounds and motion.
-
04
Paste the link
Add it as a Browser Source and leave the scene setup alone.
Your run’s visual style
From Game Boy pixels to Pokémon HOME.
Choose sprites based on games from generations 1 through 7, Pokémon Shuffle, or animated and static HOME. Available forms follow each style’s roster.


Your compact design studio
Fit it into the scene, not the other way around.
Every option is saved with the run and reaches the overlay, from the position of the team block to each slot’s decorative pattern.
Arrangement and position
1×6, 2×3, 3×2 or 6×1, with independent alignment and spacing.
Just enough information
Show or hide names and types; choose the text color to suit the scene.
Backgrounds with character
Combine fill, opacity, image, tiling and backgrounds that remain visible in empty slots.

Less maintenance. More story.

Update, don’t reload
The same URL receives team changes live.
Test off-air
Rehearse catches, evolutions and removals in a duplicate scene.
Protect the key
Keep the admin link private; OBS only needs the stream link.
The essentials
Questions before opening OBS.
If something needs more detail, the guides cover the full flow and recommended settings.
Is it free, and do I need to sign up?
It is free and requires no account. Access to each run is kept through private links and, optionally, an .nzpk file.
Do I need a new link when the team changes?
No. Catches, edits, evolutions, ordering and removals all reach the same stream URL.
Can I change the sprite style?
Yes. If the new game does not include a team member or form, NuzPoke shows what would be removed and asks for confirmation before switching.
Does it only work with OBS?
It is designed for any broadcasting app that supports a web or browser source; the guide focuses on OBS because it is the most common workflow.
Is NuzPoke affiliated with Pokémon?
No. It is an independent community project and is not affiliated with Nintendo, Game Freak or The Pokémon Company.
