In detail: ----------------------------------

- Deposit into PC:	+8 seconds
- Withdraw from PC:	+7 seconds

- Mt. Battle 1:		~1:00		(-13 compared to not OHKOing w/ Bear; -4 if you would have)
				* -8 seconds on average

- Mt. Battle 2:		17.8 secs (send-outs) + 53 secs (Growl, Peck; no level-up) = 1:10.8
				* -5 seconds		(due to no Fury Swipe/level up text)

- Mt. Battle 3:		~1:00 on average	*level up
				* -4 seconds	(no level up on standard route)
						(saves less if Psywave miss, but this is rare)

		So timewise, you'll pretty much break even on the Mt. Battle section



- Browsix:	basically the same except level-up differences?	(no level ups)
				* +9 seconds	(likely need a 3rd turn if cannot 2HKO Hoots)
						^ almost always outsped by Hoots; Growl more likely
				(1.5 animations)	  to screw over a 2HKO


- Corla:	1:18	(flinch + Foresight)	level-ups here (Fury Swipes, too)
		~1:22	if averaging out the flinch chance + Duskull AI

		*1:14 on normal route if you OHKO Duskull	(~1:19 if standard fight)

			+3 seconds on average


- Javion:	Lv15 strat - Bite both birds, Lick to save frames?	(Teddy never kills Taillow at 13)
		~1:07	(assumes no 2nd turn QA, hit both Bite ranges)

		*1:19 on normal strat;	~1:13 on average fight

			-3 seconds (average)


*extra movement if doing Javion before Tekot:
	normal movement:	~4.4 seconds
	added movement:		~8 seconds	(so less than 4 seconds slower: worth it!)

			+4 seconds

- Tekot:
	~1:52	(flinch; Iron Defense)
		- learns Confusion here; Teddy also levels once

	*1:55 on normal route (assumes flinch);	 obviously no Confusion teach text, etc

			-3 seconds	(will make up more later on)

- Fossil guy:
	~1:32	if miss Anorith range
	~1:18 	if GET the Anorith range	(one Teddy level)

	~1:21	(average)

	*1:31	on normal route	(no levels)

			-10 seconds

- Nexir:
	*Now have the option of OHKOing Swinub and 2HKOing Shuppet w/ Metal Claws
		(slower, but less damage, and good for slow Bears)

	~1:36	(no level ups)
	*1:49	(2 levels & Confusion teach text)

			-13 seconds


- Solox:	one more level up
		* better 2-hit chance on Numel
		* Ralts still BARELY guaranteed at Lv15

		Teddy range:	34 - 59

		Espy 16 range:	44 - 76		(~62 % range)
		Espy 17 range:	48 - 79		(~68 % range)

			+5 seconds	(accounts for better Numel range)


				*** -10 seconds overall up to this point


- Crink:	Save the level back
			*same speed range w/ Barboach

			-6 seconds


- Cabol:	(breaks even timewise)		(2 level-ups w/ newer route)
	*Guaranteed 2HKO Magnemite!
		~91 % range w/ Bite + Confusion

	*Worse range on Carvanha; potentially higher damage on Teddy from Carvanha
		Treat the two ranges as cancelling out, timewise
		Extra flinch chance on Magnemite:	~3 seconds
		Harder to outspeed Psyduck:		+3 seconds

			+11 seconds		(just the level ups, really)


- Klots:
	* Snubbull 75% range	(thought it was better tbh)

	FASTEST FIGHT:	(no level ups on this newer route)

	1.	Confusion Snub + Return Kecleon
	2.	Tail Whip + Return Kec	(get the KO)
	3.	Conf + Return Shroom
			~1:58	optimally	(probably ~2:15 if miss a range somewhere)
				~2:06 	(average)

			* 2:06 for high Attack strat	(optimal)
			* 2:22 for standard 3.5-turn fight	(one flinch)
			* ~2:16	(average)

				-10 seconds	(average)


- Naps:
	* 63 % range on Slakoth at Lv19!	(same amount of level ups)
		(can save frames while healing near the end of the fight maybe?)

		~8 seconds to learn Fake Tears on normal strat	(subtract this off Lovrina)

				-2 seconds	(ignoring Fake Tears difference)


- Lovrina:
	Strat
		1.	Bite Beautifly + Return Luvdisc
		2.	Repeat	(KO both;	teach Fake Tears over Lick)
		3.	Confusion Roselia + Fake Tears Delcatty
		4.	Confusion Delcatty + Return / heal for safety

				~2:47	(averaging out the flinch chance)
				~2:39	(subtracting Fake Tears teach)

				* 2:32	(crit Beautifly tho)
				* 2:59	(more typical of a fight)
				*	2:57	(averaged out flinch chance)

				-15 seconds	(could be slightly more or less depending on ranges)


		OVERALL TIMESAVE UP TO THIS POINT:
			~32 seconds or so ideally	(average)

				(still ~15 seconds if not going for risky Lovrina strat)


- Miror B:
	*Bad Return range at Lv19 unless very high Attack
	*Outspeed ALL neutral speed Voltorbs at Lv21

		1.	Bite + Return top Lombre
		2.	Tail Whip + Return top Lombre
		   *If get the range:		*same fight; 1 extra level-up
			(proceed as normal)
		   *If missed the range (Rain):	*loses ~25 seconds total
			3.	Bite + Fake Tears top Lombre
			4.	Confusion Voltorb (favorable) + Return Lombre

				+15 seconds on average		(+4 at a minimum)


- Rett:				- 4 seconds	(1 less level-up)

- Torkin:	2 extra level-ups on new route
		Less favorable Kecleon 2-hit range

				+14 seconds	(2 levels + chance to miss Kecleon 2-hit)

- Mesin:	*Espeon has Lv22 for Dustox
			(favorable range w/o the boost)

		1.	Confusion Spinarak + Return Beautifly
		2.	Confusion Dustox + Return Beautifly
		   *If Dustox died:
			3.	Bite + Return Vulpix
		   *If Dustox lived:
			3.	Bite Dustox + Return Vulpix
			4.	Bite + Return Vulpix

				- 0		(lose a bit in animations, but 2 fewer level-ups)
						*Not easy to determine timesave here; frees up some
						money tho!


- Lobar:	*Still favorable 2-hit on Sneasel

		*Same fight; same animations;	1 extra level-up

				+4 seconds


- Feldas:			- 0

- Exol:				- 0		Now at -2 seconds overall	(average)




- Exinn & Gonrag:		- 1		(better Snorunt range w/o Fake Tears)

- Pre-Gym:			- 0		(easier to outspeed Remoraid for safe Fasin strat)

- Fostin:			- 5		(more runs will go for yolo strat here)

- Ezin:				- 1		(better Bite damage on Pelipper)
- Faltly:			+ 1		(more likely outsped if miss Chimecho range)

- Egrog:			-8 seconds	(much better Seel range; almost like having Spoon)

- Snattle:			- 0		(should play out the same)

- Chobin:			-3		(improved Gyarados range)

	*Routes mostly converge here, since you equip the Share before Chobin 1 now
	(so Teddy still evolves, etc)

	*Happiness on Bear should end up the same
		(Soothe Bell bonus for Lv20, but not for Lv29)


	FINAL TALLY:
		Saves ~ 23 seconds 	(average)

		Can save ~ 45-55 seconds	(realistically possible)
