---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hyper Beam skip route (updated, but not tested):
- Get Soothe Bell
- Basically use normal shopping (skip Leaf Stone, and ideally skip HP Up so you can use it on Teddy)
- Skip Silk Scarf with decent Attack
- Give Teddy the Exp. Share for only 2 fights (both Chobins)
- Candy Teddy from 37-->38 after Gorog
- Give Espeon the Exp. Share for 22 fights (Flipis through Geftal)
	> Must X Spec the first fight of Citadark Isle
	> Must risk ranges on Ninetales (65-77%) and Rapidash (80%)
- Get Protein + 2 boat PP Ups (necessary to skip Snagem heal machine)

weaknesses
- Lose 1 happiness (L29)
- Teddy is L34 for Skarmory
- Might be inefficient menus?
- Espeon is L37 for Chimecho

Hyper Beam skip notes (kinda old):
- Must get Soothe Bell
- Bellossom should die to Return
- Grumpig is favorable with Return
- Skarmory is 50% with Psychic+Return
- Must get Silk Scarf
- Ampharos is very favorable with Return at L37, guaranteed at L38
- Mightyena is very favorable or guaranteed
- Azumarill is 50% with Return
- X Attack Angic (loses no time?)
- Usually lose 2 animations on Arbok/Ursaring fight
- No Protect on Golos (loses 2-3 seconds, including heal)
- Slightly lower chance to OHKO Kangaskhan, but it rarely matters because Kanga outspeeds
- Altaria is favorable with Psychic (and sometimes you just finish it with Return)
- No Protect on Geftal (loses 6-7 seconds, but can X Spec to guarantee Lickitung)
- Snorlax is favorable with Psychic+Return, but you might have a turn to X Attack
- Can't Hyper Beam Lapras (probably suboptimal to anyway?)
- Return is ~45% to kill Exeggutor from half

Summary:
- Skip Hyper Beam (-67s)
- Skip Protect (-3s)
- Effectively $3200 more (-7s)
- No Hyper Beams in Snagem Hideout (+6s)
- No Hyper Beams in Key Lair (+28s)
- No Hyper Beams at Citadark Isle (+12s)
- Get 2 PP Ups (+8s)
