- 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
- 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.
- 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
- Route differences are listed below.
- -----
- BEFORE BROCK
- - Advanced runners only: Extend the Nidoran manip to catch a Pidgey on Route 2
- > Manip can be found here: https://pastebin.com/acve6JmA
- - Buy 8 Potions in Pewter
- ROUTE 3
- - Conserve as many Horn Attacks as possible
- > Tackle whenever it kills
- > Leer the second L10 Caterpie
- > Leer Shorts Guy's Rattata
- - If you didn't catch a Pidgey as part of the Nidoran manip, catch a flier
- - Don't kill an encounter if you see one
- - Skip the center unless you have 0-1 HAs
- MT. MOON
- - Moon manip (entrance to Rocket):
- > Don't save on LiveSplit second 20 or 46
- > Heal to 36+ HP if not in red bar
- > Get Water Gun
- > Get Escape Rope
- > Get Rare Candy
- > Get Mega Punch
- > Get Moon Stone
- > Catch a L10 or L12 Paras before the Rocket
- - If you red barred the Paras catch, Potion twice for Rocket
- - Rocket:
- > If 2 HAs left: Leer+HA+Tackle, Leer+HA+Tackle(+Tackle)
- > If 3 HAs left: HA+HA(+PS), Leer+HA+Tackle(+Tackle)
- > If 4 HAs left: HA+HA(+PS), Leer+HA+HA
- > If 5 HAs left: HA+HA(+PS), HA+HA(+HA)
- - Before the Nerd:
- > Rare Candy to L16
- > Teach Water Gun over Tackle
- > Use the Moon Stone
- > Teach Mega Punch over Leer
- NUGGET BRIDGE
- - Pidgeotto: HA x3 (need to conserve Mega Punch PP)
- - Weedle: MP unless got String Shot boost
- - L14 Zubat: MP
- - L15 Zubat: MP (use HA if got Leer boost or low on PP)
- ROUTE 25
- - Fight the Onix Hiker (WG) and second bottom Hiker (WG x2, MP, WG)
- - You get Thrash right before Bill. Teach it over WG
- - In Bill's house:
- > Heal to 50+ HP
- > Rare Candy to L24
- > Use an Escape Rope
- CERULEAN CITY
- - Get instant text
- - Go up to fight Dig Rocket before Misty
- > You can blitz Misty at L24 to save 19 seconds, but Starmie outspeeds and you usually don't 2HKO, so it's very risky
- - Dig Rocket: Thrash x2-4
- > Machop is a 47% range
- > Drowzee is a 94% range
- - Go down to fight Misty like normal
- POST-MISTY
- - Many ranges are worse (see chart below)
- - It's worth Bubblebeaming Voltorb if Sonicboom gives red bar, since Thrash is a range
- - Fly split red bar level-ups are better, but the worse ranges make it riskier
- - The Raticate in Lavender Tower is comparatively worse with TB strats (66-->51% range with TB vs. 94-->87% range with Thrash)
- > Note: You should never Thrash the Rattata
- - You are L34 for Silph Rival. This is better in some ways and worse in others:
- > Pidgeot is a speedtie
- > If you take no damage before Gyarados, you'll often get decent red bar from Hydro Pump
- > If you take 1 Bite/Quick Attack/Wing Attack before Gyarados, Hydro Pump is an unfavorable range to kill you
- > If you take 2 Bites/Quick Attacks/Wing Attacks before Gyarados, you'll often get decent red bar after 2 X Specs
- > Red bar level-ups from Silph Rival to Koga are slightly worse
- - You get L40 before Weezing, so the late game is the same
