Rules worth knowing

22 rounds. Each one rolls a Pokémon from the original 151 that you haven't drafted yet; Legendaries can come up as often as luck allows.
You have five rerolls for the whole run.
The season is played across Kanto, from Pallet Town to the Indigo Plateau, and the 151 Challenge has its own Team Score scale: original-151 teams have lower stats, so the same team rates higher here than in the 17–0.
Spend rerolls on rolls whose best open spot is a weak fit, not on Pokémon you simply don't like. A 60 at a 4% spot is fine; a 40 anywhere hurts, because the four weakest players drag the score down.

The best possible 151 Challenge team

The original 151 with every Legendary allowed. In the challenge you only choose where each rolled Pokémon plays. Best formation: 3-4 defense, slot offense. Team Score 1000, average fit 72.7.
