** All the appearances of Jackie the Froakie/Frogadier/Greninja are of him being overshadowed by Zuri the Azurill/Azumarill or taking a painful hit from a wild Pokemon.
** Saffie the Sneasel is doomed to ridicule the moment she's revealed to have an attack-lowering nature. First, she's banished to Lumiose Badlands, which is a terrible climate for an ice weasel, to raise her attack stat. Then Jack spends at least twenty minutes deciding whether to let her die to Drasna's Dragalge to give Zuri a free switch in. Finally, when the death curse is lifted, she gets knocked out by Nezzie's Altaria.

A sequel, ''Jack Hollock's Super Easy Adventure'', was released in April of 2023. It is a more straightforward Nuzlocke of ''Pokemon X'' in which Nezzie's younger brother, Jack, has to follow after her to avenge a woman she killed before the deadly game. A third installment, a Wonderlocke of ''Pokemon Alpha Sapphire'', has been announced but has no planned release date other than after the conclusion of ''SWAP Ensemble''.

Added DiffLines:
* CurbStompBattle: Zuri the Azumarill is tanky and overleveled, so she is able to make quick work of most of her enemies. This includes Xerosic's Malamar and Diantha's Gardevoir, who both caused casualties in Nezzie's team.
Added DiffLines:
* ImmediateSelfContradiction: Jack says that if he gets a Sneasel, he will love it forever even if its [=IVs=] and nature are trash. He makes a big frown as soon as he sees that Saffie has an attack-lowering nature and dumps her in Lumiose Badlands to train.

She acts snide with him at the start and is always a step ahead of him [[spoiler:until her team wipes out at the Lumiose gym]]. In turn, Jack shows no sympathy for the deaths in Nezzie's team and calls her out on the cruel game.

* Starting in the second gym, three Pokémon will be assigned special roles that are randomly generated under spoiler tags.
* The Keymaster must lead and must not die, or else it's game over.
* The Sage must switch in if the Keymaster is in danger. In practice, the Sage is the only one who switches in if the Keymaster is active for simplicity's sake.
* The Sacrifice will expire with one other Pokémon unless it faints. In that case, everyone else except it and the next switch-in will expire.

!! ''Ynez Hollock's Deadly Game'' provides examples of:
* ActionSurvivor: Kenna the Bibarel primarily serves as an HM slave [[spoiler:but is one of the three confirmed survivors]].
* AfterActionReport: The nature of the Nuzlocke requires the whole game to have been played before being spun into a story.

* AntagonistTitle: Ynez Hollock is the organizer of the deadly game who effectively kidnapped all of the participants.
* AnyoneCanDie: In addition to the standard Nuzlocke rules, the Main Game rules mean that even the strongest characters can die due to no fault of their own.
* BigDamnReunion: After Donovan the Lucario survives the banquet and escapes, he regroups with the active team. Everyone's overjoyed to see him.
* TheBigGuy: Locke the Lapras is the largest of the cast, and he can pack a huge punch due to his training in the Lumiose Badlands.
* {{Bookends}}: The Sacrifice clause is invoked at the first and last main game.
* CListFodder: Several unimportant members participate in the gym challenge to increase the survival odds of the more important ones.
* CounterAttack: The cause of Sophie the Pidgeot's death, courtesy of a Wobbuffet surviving her attack and using Counter to deal back double damage.
* DeadlyEuphemism: At least two Pokémon are set to expire in every gym, which is implied to equate to death. [[spoiler:It turns out they are locked in Lysandre's lab, but everyone who wasn't already dead is executed when Donovan escapes]].
* DeadlyGame: The gyms serve as the Main Games of Your Turn To Die. The participants have to conquer the gyms and then lose at least two of their number at the end.
* DeathMontage: The main story highlights the deaths and expiration, with other moments serving as context.
* DiceRollDeath: Sophie survived one Wobbuffet that used Mirror Coat, only to die to another that used Counter.
* DownerEnding: Everything past the fifth gym [[spoiler:was Donovan's dying dream]].
* DyingDream: Donovan dreams that [[spoiler:he escaped with Locke, Kenna, Tanner, and Calvin when he actually died in the fifth gym]].
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Ynez kidnaps people lost in the Forest Basement to play her Deadly Game, but she does her best to make sure everyone gets to the game in one piece.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: Charlie the Chesnaught's reaction to his impending death is relief over finally being reunited with Sophie.
* FurryLens: All of the characters are human, but they're portrayed as Pokemon for the main part of the comic.
* GirlyBruiser: Sophie is a physical attacker with a frilly top and long, brightly colored hair.
* GroupHug: After Donovan and Mitchell have a Man Hug, the rest of the team joins in to celebrate the former's return.
* HesitantSacrifice: When Mitchell asks Ynez if Donovan is the sacrifice in Valerie's gym, she asks him if he's willing to die if he is. Nobody is willing to die for Donovan.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Mitchell the Charizard is impaled through the torso and both wings by an Aerodactyl's Stone Edge.
* ImprobableInfantSurvival: Timmy the Skitty is the youngest of the cast and survives an otherwise fatal blow due to being the sacrifice. [[spoiler:Subverted in the end, when he dies along with the rest of the party in the fifth gym]].
* IronicLastWords: When facing a second Wobbuffet, Sophie tells the group, "Don't worry, I've got this." The Wobbuffet counters and kills her.
* LightningBruiser: Locke's training in the Lumiose Badlands makes him a lot faster and stronger than the typically defensive Lapras.
* ManHug: Donovan and Mitchell share a hug after the former escapes the Banquet.
* OneHitKill: Sophie dies to a Wobbuffet's Counter. Mitchell dies to an Aerodactyl's Stone Edge because he has a crippling weakness to it.
* PleaseDontLeaveMe: After being revealed as the Sacrifice, Joy Hawkins the Staraptor begs the team not to leave her to die.
* {{Prequel}}: Takes place ten years prior to the mechanically similar ''Literature/BehindClosedDoors''. Gustavo speculates that the latter was a CopycatCrime of the former.
* PunnyName: Ynez Hollock is named to sound like "Y Nuzlocke".
* {{Reincarnation}}: Joy Hawkins is the direct reincarnation of Joy Maneje of ''The Eighth Grade Wars''.
* RippleEffectProofMemory: Alina the Kecleon takes being the Sacrifice very poorly because she remembers that [[spoiler:she was the Keymaster in the real timeline. What a cruel twist of fate]].
* SadisticChoice: Take all of the strongest members to the Main Game and risk losing one of them as the Sacrifice, or only take a few and risk a bloodbath.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Tanner the Sableye books it out of Reflection Cave as soon as Sophie dies, even though his complete immunity to Wobbuffet puts him in the best position to avenge her. The rest of the party follows suit, though Mitchell and Joy have to drag Charlie out.
* SenselessSacrifice: Karelis the Granbull buys enough time for Joy to get patched up before attacking Xerosic's Malamar. Unfortunately, Joy fails to defeat the Malamar and both of them end up dead.
* SoleSurvivor: Donovan is the only one of the Dummies to make it out alive. [[spoiler:Subverted when it turns out to be part of his dying dream]].
* SurprisinglySuddenDeath: Sophie is suddenly killed by a wild Wobbuffet that used Counter. Mitchell is killed by a Sky Trainer's Aerodactyl that used Stone Edge.
* TakeUpMySword: After Charlie expires as the sacrifice, Donovan becomes the leader of the team. Mitchell takes the spot when Donovan becomes the sacrifice, but Donovan takes it back after Mitchell dies.
* TotalPartyKill: The non-participants are left to scatter after [[spoiler:the team wipes out in the fifth gym]].
* TheVerse: Shared a universe with ''The Eighth Grade Wars'', ''Webcomic/SWAPEnsemble'', and ''Literature/BehindClosedDoors''.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Norelle the Ursaring, Killienne the Amoonguss, and Julia the Gothitelle participate exclusively in the final gym and are executed because the Sacrifice, Henniah the Delibird, had fainted. Since this is after the Banquet, they miss out on the minor development that the other Dummies got.
