  1. BASE NOTES:
  2. - The Raikou cluster: F98E (Ice 69), FDCB (Ice 70), F9DC (Ice 68)
  3. - Estimated time loss from perfect: 4.5, 15.5, 16.5
  4. - Lighthouse candy is probably only worth it with 11/70 or 12/68 Raikous on good pace
  5. - Optimal X Special uses:
  6. - 1 Koga
  7. - 2 Bruno
  8. - 2 Karen
  9. - 1 Surge (2 with 12/68 Raikou if you have a spare)
  10. - 1 Blaine
  11. - 2 Blue
  12. - 6 Red
  13. - 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
  14. - Azalea Mart: Sell TM31; buy 5 Super Potions, 5 Repels, 2 Antidotes
  15. - Goldenrod Mart: $5090 to spare if you only buy 5 X Specials
  16. > Can increase to $5290-5490 if you sell Poke Balls
  17. > Probably need 14-15 X Specials for Raikou ($4900/5250)
  18. - Repel once for Route 36-37 (covers all grass and Magnet); Repel again for Burned Tower and Raikou manip
  19. - Can easily afford 21 Super Repels in Olivine (only applies if early Brock)
  20. - Spark everything from Morty's gym to Lance heal that doesn't require an extra input
  21. - Lake of Rage YOLO tiles are barely faster than repelling
  22. - Skip Guard Spec.
  23. - If skipping candy, teach Hidden Power on Douglas S&Q menu (allows you to keep Quick Attack for Grunt 6)
  24. - Extra movement for Joyce is still worth it (loses about 1 second to Entei)
  25. - 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)
  26. - Damage opportunities before Karen:
  27. > Kingdra
  28. > Rapidash (missed range)
  29. > Magneton (Sonicboom)
  30. > Meganium (missed range)
  31. > Jynx (missed range)
  32. > Ariados (missed range)
  33. > Forretress/Muk (either guarantee ~16 damage or deal with Muk variance)
  34. > Hitmontop (always Dig)
  35. > Hitmonchan (always Mach Punch)
  36. - Kanto order: (PP1), (NB), Misty, (PP2), Surge, Blaine, Janine, Erika, Blue (L61), Brock, Sabrina
  37. - If no Lighthouse candy, 11/68 Raikou needs to risk one 90% TS range or lose 1 SE text box in Kanto
  38. - 13 DV Special guarantees Wigglytuff (90% on 11 and 12 DV)
  39. - Raichu is 93% with 11/70 Raikou, 78% with 12/68 Raikou
  40. - 13 DV Special guarantees Magneton (90% on 11 and 12 DV)
  41. - 13 DV Special guarantees Lapras (95% on 11 and 12 DV)
  42. - 12 DV Special guarantees +1 TS on Magcargo (90% on 11 DV)
  43. - Bellossom is 95% with the 12/68 Raikou, guaranteed otherwise
  44. - 14 DV Special guarantees +2 Spark on Arcanine (90% on 11 DV and 98% on 12 DV)
  45. - 2 X Special Blue saves ~4.8 seconds, including time save from healing for Red
  46. - Pikachu does 30-36 and 34-41 with Thunder, depending on whether you have the Sp. Def boost
  47. - Snorlax does max 111/108/111; can go for +4 strats if at least 1 below this
  48. - Don't heal for Red with 108/105/108+ HP (very common)
  49. - Chances for Raikou to get statused:
  50. > Gengar (if early Morty)
  51. > Magnemite (missed range into Thunder Wave/Supersonic)
  52. > Magnemite (missed range into Thunder Wave/Supersonic)
  53. > Piloswine (Blizzard freeze)
  54. > RT1 Muk (missed range into Poison Gas)
