How to use NuzPoke

Orientation

Configuration and My runs

Configuration contains the active run, six team slots and search. From the summary, open Stream to design the overlay or Edit to change the run and trainer names.

My runs lists access links remembered by this browser. You can manage, view, share or close a run there.

Closing does not delete

Close removes saved access from this browser. The run still exists, but you need its URL or .nzpk file to recover it.

My runs list with manage and share actions — My runs contains the access links remembered by the browser.

Edit run dialog for changing run and trainer names — Edit changes run identity without touching the team.

Find

Search by name and filter by game anatomy

Enter part of a species name to reduce results. To explore, combine filters:

Type 1 and type 2Find combinations or species with no second type.

RegionSeparate Alolan, Galarian, Hisuian and Paldean forms.

GenderShow species with or without visible gender differences.

Battle formFind species with temporary transformations or battle alternatives.

Select Clear to restore the full catalog. Results respect the active sprite style: a species that does not exist in that game cannot be added in that style.

Expanded type, region, gender and battle-form filters — Filters combine and always respect the active sprite style.

Choose

Understand species, variants and appearance

When you select a species, NuzPoke shows its available combinations. Depending on the Pokémon, you can change region, gender, form, battle form and color. The preview uses the same style selected for the run.

Normal/shiny: some classic games have no shiny sprites and disable the option.
Form: covers permanent looks such as styles, coats or patterns.
Battle form: represents Mega Evolutions or temporary states when cataloged.
Nickname: replaces the species name; leave it empty to keep the localized name.

If an option is missing

It is not available for that species in the selected sprite style. Switching to HOME may provide broader coverage.

Maintain

Edit, order, evolve and remove

Each filled slot offers actions that match its state:

EditChange variant, color or nickname without removing the member.

DragReorder the team; the overlay animates the move.

EvolveShows valid destinations for that variant and keeps the nickname.

RemoveFrees the slot and plays the member’s exit.

When a species has several branches or special requirements, choose the actual result yourself. NuzPoke does not decide what happened in your game.

During an important battle

Avoid chaining several reorder operations. Make them during a break so motion supports the story instead of competing with it.

Style

Change sprites with a safety check

Change the style from the Stream window. NuzPoke looks for a compatible version of every member in the new game and updates all previews.

If a species or form is absent from the selected roster, you will see which members would be removed. Nothing changes until you confirm. Cancel, change the variant or choose a broader style if you want to keep them.

StaticClassic sprites, Shuffle and static HOME; minimal movement.

Animated entranceCrystal, Emerald and several Nintendo DS games play an intro and then stop.

Continuous loopBlack/White, 3DS models and HOME stay animated.

Access

Share and recover without mixing up links

In My runs, Share lets you copy admin access or save an .nzpk file. To recover a run, select Load run and paste the full URL, the admin ID alone, or open the file.

Keep the private link in bookmarks or a password manager.
Save an .nzpk after creating the series and after major changes.
Only give production the stream URL.
On a new computer, load access before you start broadcasting.

Recommended routine

Open the run, confirm the style, review the team, open OBS and make one test change. Two minutes prevent live improvisation.

Load run dialog using URL, ID or NZPK file — Recovery accepts the URL, ID or .nzpk file.

Edge cases

When a variant or style does not fit

Availability depends on species, region, gender, form, battle state, color and sprite style at the same time. Two Pokémon with the same name can therefore offer different options.

A species is missingClear filters and check that it exists in the active game or sprite family.

Shiny is missingFirst-generation styles do not include shiny sprites.

A form is missingSelect the correct region and gender; some forms only exist in HOME or later games.

Changing style removes membersRead the preview, cancel and correct variants before confirming.

Evolution does not matchEdit the variant manually when game, region or run conditions differ from the suggested destination.

NuzPoke validates available representations, not the rules of your challenge. The player still decides what counts as a valid catch, loss or evolution.
