  1. This strat attempts to maximize the potential of RNG manipulation for the Nidoran route in Red glitchless. Rather than fighting two optional trainers in Mt. Moon and getting random encounters along the way, we'll fight one optional trainer on Route 3 (the Lass with a L10 Rattata and L10 Nidoran-M), one in Mt. Moon (the Super Nerd), and one manipulated L10 Paras in Mt. Moon.
  2.  
  3. The experience from the Lass gives us Poison Sting for the last Bug Catcher on Route 3. The Lass requires 3 Horn Attacks, and having Poison Sting for the Bug Catcher saves 3-4 Horn Attacks. Skipping the second optional trainer in Mt. Moon (another Bug Catcher) saves another 1-2 Horn Attacks. This allows the Mt. Moon center to be skipped more easily. Also, the Route 3 Lass is about 17 seconds faster to fight than the Mt. Moon Bug Catcher.

  5. Encountering and killing a Paras takes about 39 seconds (23 to save for manip, 11 to encounter, 5 to kill). However, the time loss from saving can be almost entirely erased by manipulating no additional encounters to the Super Nerd. Without this manipulation, you would lose about 20 seconds to random encounters.

  7. The main complication of this strat is taking a lot of damage on the Lass. Her Rattata does ~8 damage with Quick Attack and ~6 with Tackle, and her Nidoran-M does ~8 with Horn Attack and ~5 with Tackle. If you have high HP after defeating the second Bug Catcher on Route 3, the damage can actually help you get red bar. But at low HP, you'll have to heal or take a major risk. Skipping the Lass at certain HP amounts is likely optimal.
