- The idea of this strategy is that instead of shopping in Saffron after Silph Co. for your final shopping trip, you shop in Vermillion instead. This forces you to do Erika after Blaine, then fly to Vermillion, shop, do Surge, and then fly back to Celadon. The time save comes from being able to afford the extra items for Archer 1, while also not having to sell PokeBalls in Pewter or pick up the PP Up. This is because you buy the items you need for Silph Co. in your final shopping trip, instead of the first Vermillion shopping trip. Also, this allows you to have Hyper Potions for Archer double, which is good if you start getting bad luck on the fight.
- Below is an example of a shopping route that can be done. This can be adjusted to runner's personal preferences fairly easily.
- Pewter Shop (4752):
- 7 Great Balls (2100)
- 1 X Attack (550)
- 1 X Sp. Atk (350)
- 3 Antidotes (600)
- 2 Burn Heals (600)
- 3 Awakenings (300)
- =4500
- Early Vermillion Shop [Before Boat] (29804):
- Sell Nuggets, Helix Fossil, and Revives
- 2 Escape Ropes (600)
- 11 Lures (4400)
- 11 X Attacks (6050)
- 10 X Sp. Atks (3500)

- 2 Guard Specs (1400)
- 9 Great Balls (2700)
- 10 Super Potions (7000)
- 1 X Defense (500)
- =29650

- Below is a rough comparison of the time save of this idea. This compares to the route that eddaket has been doing recently, but this should still save time using almost any shopping route. Please don't take these timings as fact either, I didn't spend too much time on them.
- TIME LOSSES
- Extra Repel textbox - 1.4s
- Extra fly menu movement - 0.6s
- Extra Repel scroll - 0.6s
- Total - 2.6s
- TIME SAVES
- Movement - 0.4s
- Not selling PokeBalls - 6s
- Total - 6.4s
- 6.4s - 2.6s = 3.8s total
