  1. This route saves about 43 seconds, minus several risks worth ~15 seconds, over the current route that fights the Mt. Moon Rocket at L15 and candies twice to L25 in Bill's house. If you are not familiar with that route, view it here: https://pastebin.com/nv7HEgX4
  2.  
  3. The time saves mainly come from skipping the Super Nerd in Mt. Moon, skipping a save & quit in Mt. Moon, and skipping the Mt. Moon center.
  4.  
  5. This route requires a Moon manip that starts at the cave entrance and ends with a Paras catch immediately before the Rocket. This is the manip: https://pastebin.com/yrQMpTMx
  6.  
  7. Route differences are listed below.
  8.  
  9. -----
  10.  
  11. BEFORE BROCK

  14. - Buy 8 Potions in Pewter

  18. > Tackle whenever it kills
  19. > Leer the second L10 Caterpie
  20. > Leer Shorts Guy's Rattata
  21. - If you didn't catch a Pidgey as part of the Nidoran manip, catch a flier
  22. - Don't kill an encounter if you see one
  23. - Skip the center unless you have 0-1 HAs
  24.  
  25. MT. MOON
  26. - Moon manip (entrance to Rocket):
  27. > Don't save on LiveSplit second 20 or 46
  28. > Heal to 36+ HP if not in red bar
  29. > Get Water Gun
  30. > Get Escape Rope
  31. > Get Rare Candy
  32. > Get Mega Punch
  33. > Get Moon Stone
  34. > Catch a L10 or L12 Paras before the Rocket
  35. - If you red barred the Paras catch, Potion twice for Rocket
  36. - Rocket:
  37. > If 2 HAs left: Leer+HA+Tackle, Leer+HA+Tackle(+Tackle)
  38. > If 3 HAs left: HA+HA(+PS), Leer+HA+Tackle(+Tackle)
  39. > If 4 HAs left: HA+HA(+PS), Leer+HA+HA
  40. > If 5 HAs left: HA+HA(+PS), HA+HA(+HA)
  41. - Before the Nerd:
  42. > Rare Candy to L16
  43. > Teach Water Gun over Tackle
  44. > Use the Moon Stone
  45. > Teach Mega Punch over Leer
  46.  
  47. NUGGET BRIDGE
  48. - Pidgeotto: HA x3 (need to conserve Mega Punch PP)
  49. - Weedle: MP unless got String Shot boost
  50. - L14 Zubat: MP
  51. - L15 Zubat: MP (use HA if got Leer boost or low on PP)
  52.  
  53. ROUTE 25
  54. - Fight the Onix Hiker (WG) and second bottom Hiker (WG x2, MP, WG)
  55. - You get Thrash right before Bill. Teach it over WG
  56. - In Bill's house:
  57. > Heal to 50+ HP
  58. > Rare Candy to L24
  59. > Use an Escape Rope
  60.  
  61. CERULEAN CITY
  62. - Get instant text
  63. - Go up to fight Dig Rocket before Misty
  64. > You can blitz Misty at L24 to save 19 seconds, but Starmie outspeeds and you usually don't 2HKO, so it's very risky
  65. - Dig Rocket: Thrash x2-4
  66. > Machop is a 47% range
  67. > Drowzee is a 94% range
  68. - Go down to fight Misty like normal
  69.  
  70. POST-MISTY
  71. - Many ranges are worse (see chart below)
  72. - It's worth Bubblebeaming Voltorb if Sonicboom gives red bar, since Thrash is a range
  73. - Fly split red bar level-ups are better, but the worse ranges make it riskier
  74. - The Raticate in Lavender Tower is comparatively worse with TB strats (66-->51% range with TB vs. 94-->87% range with Thrash)
  75. > Note: You should never Thrash the Rattata
  76. - You are L34 for Silph Rival. This is better in some ways and worse in others:
  77. > Pidgeot is a speedtie
  78. > If you take no damage before Gyarados, you'll often get decent red bar from Hydro Pump
  79. > If you take 1 Bite/Quick Attack/Wing Attack before Gyarados, Hydro Pump is an unfavorable range to kill you
  80. > If you take 2 Bites/Quick Attacks/Wing Attacks before Gyarados, you'll often get decent red bar after 2 X Specs
  81. > Red bar level-ups from Silph Rival to Koga are slightly worse
  82. - You get L40 before Weezing, so the late game is the same
