- BASE NOTES:
- - The Raikou cluster: F98E (Ice 69), FDCB (Ice 70), F9DC (Ice 68)
- - Estimated time loss from perfect: 4.5, 15.5, 16.5
- - Lighthouse candy is probably only worth it with 11/70 or 12/68 Raikous on good pace
- - Optimal X Special uses:
- - 1 Koga
- - 2 Bruno
- - 2 Karen
- - 1 Surge (2 with 12/68 Raikou if you have a spare)
- - 1 Blaine
- - 2 Blue
- - 6 Red
- - Get Spite manip off Caterpie/Weedle Bug Catcher? It's more important when not X Speeding Rival 3, and spinners can be more aggressively reset anyway because we have stat manip
- - Azalea Mart: Sell TM31; buy 5 Super Potions, 5 Repels, 2 Antidotes
- - Goldenrod Mart: $5090 to spare if you only buy 5 X Specials
- > Can increase to $5290-5490 if you sell Poke Balls
- > Probably need 14-15 X Specials for Raikou ($4900/5250)
- - Repel once for Route 36-37 (covers all grass and Magnet); Repel again for Burned Tower and Raikou manip
- - Can easily afford 21 Super Repels in Olivine (only applies if early Brock)
- - Spark everything from Morty's gym to Lance heal that doesn't require an extra input
- - Lake of Rage YOLO tiles are barely faster than repelling
- - Skip Guard Spec.
- - If skipping candy, teach Hidden Power on Douglas S&Q menu (allows you to keep Quick Attack for Grunt 6)
- - Extra movement for Joyce is still worth it (loses about 1 second to Entei)
- - If you have need 18+ extra damage for Karen (~71 total), do +2 Forretress setup on Koga (worth it even with 11/70 and 12/68)
- - Damage opportunities before Karen:
- > Kingdra
- > Rapidash (missed range)
- > Magneton (Sonicboom)
- > Meganium (missed range)
- > Jynx (missed range)
- > Ariados (missed range)
- > Forretress/Muk (either guarantee ~16 damage or deal with Muk variance)
- > Hitmontop (always Dig)
- > Hitmonchan (always Mach Punch)
- - Kanto order: (PP1), (NB), Misty, (PP2), Surge, Blaine, Janine, Erika, Blue (L61), Brock, Sabrina
- - If no Lighthouse candy, 11/68 Raikou needs to risk one 90% TS range or lose 1 SE text box in Kanto
- - 13 DV Special guarantees Wigglytuff (90% on 11 and 12 DV)
- - Raichu is 93% with 11/70 Raikou, 78% with 12/68 Raikou

- - Don't heal for Red with 108/105/108+ HP (very common)
- - Chances for Raikou to get statused:
- > Gengar (if early Morty)
- > Magnemite (missed range into Thunder Wave/Supersonic)
- > Magnemite (missed range into Thunder Wave/Supersonic)
- > Piloswine (Blizzard freeze)
- > RT1 Muk (missed range into Poison Gas)
- > RT2 Houndoom (missed range/Struggle into Smog poison)
