- Idea: Fight 2 Violet gym trainers and 3-4 Cianwood gym trainers before Surge. Save several turns early and fight fewer pokes overall, and delay Violet (and potentially Cianwood) until later to allow for earlier Blaine, etc. Will probably be L62 for E4 (L63 can be done with more sells/fewer healing item buys).
- Really try to keep out 3rd candy (unless maybe 27-->30 candies).
- Something like:
- - Vermilion (after Violet + Cianwood) 0
- - Azalea 0
- - Ecruteak 0
- - Celadon 0
- - Blackthorn (L27 --> L29 or L30 before gym) 0
- - Cinnabar -2
- - Cerulean 0
- - Pewter 0
- - Saffron -1
- - Violet -3
- - Cianwood 2
- - Olivine 0
- - Mahogany 0
- - Viridian 0
- - Fuchsia 0
- - E4
- - Goldenrod 0
- TOTAL -4
- 13-15 can still be Pryce/Blue/Janine (L53 for Arcanine is annoying)
