Poison Only Emerald Kaizo Nuzlocke: Final Stretch

On the final leg of my Emerald Kaizo Poison Only Hardcore Nuzlocke, but I’ve reached my first hard wall that no planning can get me out of at this point with the Pokemon I have left. I don’t want to start over, but I currently have no combination of pokemon that can get through Stevens psychic types. If I’d had slightly better nature luck on certain otherwise expendable pokemon, I could theoretically have a line that I could play, but after putting this much time in, and considering the fair bit of luck that was required to get through certain chunks of the game, I really don’t want to start over from scratch.

So, I’m considering bending the rules a little bit, but I don’t want to fully invalidate my run for myself either, so I’m looking for public consensus on what the least egregious/most acceptable rule bend would be. My least egregious options that would give me a chance at beating Steven are as follows:

1. Get rid of the dupes clause and catch the first poison pokemon I encounter on each route that’s left, even though I’ve already caught one of every viable encounter.

2. Reroll my encounters of certain pokemon I already have to see if I get a nature or IVs that would both help going forward but also wouldn’t have hurt my ability to get through other walls earlier in the game.

3. Change the nature of exactly one fodder pokemon in my box that’s still alive.

Obviously none of these feel great, though option one at least feels the least like cheating and more like a rule adjustment. Idk, what are y’all’s thoughts?
