Pup Retaliate Strats

Retaliate = 0.5s faster than using Take Down

Allows 1 shot on whirlipede at +3 or 2 shot leavanny at +1

Eliminates recoil and miss chance on Bianca 3 and Cheren 4 fights

Makes cheren's liepard guaranteed rather than 87% range

Allows for safer 2 turn Nimbasa grunt strat

Allows for saving more returns in midgame to save text later (0.3s per SE textbox saved, saves 10 returns if used well)

Candy before sandiles gives:

- Eliminates 75% ranges on sandiles on castelia grunt
- 24 for whirlipede so can crunch x2 at +1 or +3 crunch can ohko dwebble
- 28 for scraggy anmd extra friendship on N2 which means +1 return always kills instead of being a 50% range
- 31 for zebstrika (assuming kill both emolgas first)

- not 32 for cheren so need to x attack on that fight (same turns just 2s slower and can't para heal in fight plus money loss + buying x attack timesloss (~2s)

- not 42 for swoobat in skylas gym so no longer speed tie and can get flinched by air slash/attracted
