Red Race Route Notes with Route 3 Lass and PP Up (more detail, hopefully as much accuracy)

Route 3 Lass + PP Up IT-Less Race Route (randall's notes of pinkish's version of this route, huge thanks to stocchi for revising and adding safer strats for races)

HUGE shoutouts to pinkish, wsop, and the others that whipped these routes up, they have done some serious work. I only wrote this up to serve as my personal notes, please copy and paste these into your own notes if you'd like more or less detail or anything else.

Pinkish's notes (assumes basic knowledge of the standard route, which I do not have lol): https://pastebin.com/cMtPMhJA
Pinkish_Princess also made a list of manips, I will try to reference manips as they come and go in the route but you definitely should take a look: https://pastebin.com/RRQ7dmWZ

		* The below notes are "Normal strats," if the paste tells you to do something differently, do that if you want to set up red bar
		* Keep in mind that at outrageously high HPs (for example, being forced to center after Misty), it might not be worth it to get red bar in races

	- Bug Catcher: BB, Thrash

Rock Tunnel

	- Use Repel one step in
	- Maniac 1: BB, TB

	- Maniac 2: TB
	- SAVE for oddish girl if HP < 18

		* 9-15 Don't early drill
		* 16 X Acc on Growlithe
		* 17+ Early Drill, X Acc on Pidgeotto
	- Early Drill is really good in races because it is a faster rival fight and saves a menu, you rarely need a 4th super potion (unless you go for Silph bar, it's entirely your problem if you go for it)
	- Shopping:
		* Floor 2:
			- Sell TM34
			- Sell both Nuggets
			- Buy TM07

	- NOTE: You have extra X items that you can use for stalling and/or reviving. The route uses 3 X Speeds and 3 X Specs, and 10 X Accs (12 with early Drill). All stall strats assume you have enough X items, you will have to do alternate methods to stall if you do not have enough. Once you get the flute that is always a stalling option, just know there is almost always a faster alternative.
