- Net (compared to first strat) -3.2 -8.3
- Net (compared to normal late EQ) -5.7 -4.2
- NOTES:
- - You can Blizzard 2 of Victreebel/Vileplume/Rhyhorn/Rhyhorn to save 3 seconds (animations + menu), but these Pokemon can all kill you, so it's probably not worth it on good runs
- - Alternate Agatha strat: X Spec, EQ, Blizzard, EQ x3 (slower than second Gengar)
- - Skipping Rock Slide and using TB+TB on all Gastlies saves time, since it saves a trip to the girl and allows you to keep Thrash, but it's pretty suicidal unless you have 24+ HP after Lavender Rival
