Full ruleset: [link] ANSWER TO A COMMON QUESTION (why not catch it?) I already used this area's encounter: only the first Pokémon that appears counts.

It moves to the graveyard box. SOUL LINK (only if you play as a pair) Linked run with [player]: Pokémon from the same area form a pair, and if one falls its partner is retired too.
