  1. First route:
  2. > Menus:
  3. - Cut bush: same (Repel to slot 1)
  4. - Cerulean: same (Bicycle to slot 2)
  5. - Fly:
  6. > Swap X Accs to slot 4
  7. > Teach Fly
  8. > Move cursor to IB
  9. > Fly to Celadon
  10. > Teach IB on bike menu
  11. - Hideout:

  13. > Teach Rock Slide
  14. > Use a Super Repel
  15. > Swap X Speed/Spec to slot 5/6

  25. > Use remaining candies on Nidoking
  26. > Bike to the water
  27. > Viridian Mart: Buy 8 Poke Balls
  28. > Toss Antidote if you have it
  29. > Pewter Mart: Buy 10 Potions
  30. > Try to get L23 for Mankey
  31. > Get Route 25 Elixer (or, if on Hiker strats, drop an item and get Ether)
  32. > Skip Full Restore
  33. > Vermilion Mart: Sell Nugget and TM34; buy 3 Repels
  34. > Celadon Mart:
  35. - 2F: Buy 10 Super Repels and 4 Super Potions (to do: find a place where 11th Super Repel saves time)
  36. - 6F: Buy Soda Pop, Fresh Water, (trade), Fresh Water
  37. - 5F: Buy 11 X Accs, 5 X Spec, 5 X Speeds (basically you have infinite money for X Specials)
  38. > Get IB and RS
  39. > Use IB and Drill in hideout
  40. > Lavender Rival: IB x3, RS, IB (Rock Slide Growlithe with <12 Special or so)
  41. > No Thrash for tower
  42. > Consider heal pad skip if didn't get Moon exp. (a bit safer than before, and you skip Marowak death jingle)
  43. - Raticate is guaranteed with 10+ DV Special (51% with 0 DV)
  44. > Get EQ early
  45. > With exp., 4 of 5 red bar level-ups from 38-42 are good (41 is bad). Without exp., 3 of 5 are good (40 and 42 are bad)
  46. > Consider candying from 41-->44 for Hypno, then killing Weezing or just wasting the exp. since L45-->46 doesn't do much
  47. > If no Hypno candies, you barely get 42 off second Koffing, and then you can die to Weezing
  48. > Candy from 42-->46
  49. > Skip mansion candies unless you need the Speed for Sabrina
  50. > If you do Erika last, all red bar level-ups from 46-57 are good; if you do Erika first or second, 48 is bad
  51. > 48 for Blackbelt
  52. > 49/50 for Viridian Rival (must X Speed or double X Spec)
  53. > 53 for Agatha (doesn't really matter; would probably just skip X Speed with 14-15 DV and give second Gengar a turn)
  54. > X Speed on second Dragonair
  55. > Must X Speed on Champion
  56.  
  57. NOTES:
  58. - Remember to route for all good Nidos, not just FFEF!
  59. > Don't run 0 Speed, as you're slower than Sabrina at L49
  60. > Bad Special is a little bit worse -- Rock Tunnel red bar is more valuable, Tower relies on it more, and it's harder to get red bar from full off Lance. Silph Rival is better though
  61. > Attack: 9 DV needed to guarantee hideout Raticate; Machokes/Jynx are always guaranteed with 2 candies
  62. > Defense: Might matter slightly for hideout
  63. > HP: Matters slightly more because of hideout red bar management
  64. > Essentially, bad Speed is more runnable, but requirements are otherwise very similar
  65. - Almost certainly worse for Squirtorino because of lost hideout exp.
  66. - Must get rid of 2 extra items (sell Poke Balls + don't get FR or Super Potions?) because of Lift Key and Silph Scope
  67. - Getting TM07 in hideout is faster than buying it
  68. - Hideout can be done immediately (only if took Celadon Center), after mart (same) or after Fly
  69. > The former saves ~17 seconds in movement, but no red bar loses up to ~40s and fights might be slower, especially it forces Blizzard. So after Fly is probably best
  70. - Rocket Hideout:
  71. > Rocket: Thrash x2
  72. > Rocket: IB (range), IB
  73. > Rocket: IB x3
  74. > Rocket: IB x2, IB+IB (X Acc with bad Special?)
  75. > Giovanni: BB x2, IB+IB
  76. > Technically don't need Ice Beam here, but it saves a bit of time
  77. > Drill adds safety on 4th Rocket and Giovanni, especially with bad Special
  78. - Lavender Tower:
  79. > Probably IB Lavender Rival
  80. > Still need Rock Slide
  81. > Ghost Marowak dies to BB
  82. > Koffing can die to TB at L37 with great Special
  83. - Probably take Celadon Center at normal time
  84. - Always Thrash Arbok (always 2HKO)
  85. - Effects of hideout exp. + candy
  86. > Extensive routing must be done to test Ice Beam vs. Blizzard
  87. > Consider getting L43 for Hypno (Erika before Koga? Guaranteed Vileplume OHKO with most Attack DVs)
  88. > Consider getting mansion candies (L48 Machokes? L50 Rhydon? L50 Pidgeot? L54 Agatha (red bar)? L55 Lance?)
  89. > If you skip Cycling Road candy (-5s) and do old exp. route, you get:
  90. - Lower levels for triple gyms (irrelevant with good Nido)
  91. - L47 Blackbelt (bad)
  92. - L49 level-up (bad)
  93. - L49 Viridian Rival (good)
  94. - L52 Gengar (depends)
  95. - L53 Gyarados (depends)
  96. - L55 level-up (bad)
  97. - Can X Spec on Champion with good stats
  98. - One level-up on Champion (good)
  99. - Probably never worth skipping
  100. > If you get one mansion candy, you get:
  101. - L48 Alakazam
  102. - L49 level-up (bad)
  103. - L49 Blackbelt (good)
  104. - L50 Pidgeot
  105. - L52 level-up (bad)
  106. - L54 level-up (bad)
  107. - L54 Gengar
  108. - L55 Gyarados
  109. - Can X Spec on Champion with good stats
  110. - L56 Pidgeot
  111. - L58 level-up (bad)
  112. - Probably the superior option unless you need the Speed for Alakazam or Attack for Jynx
  113. > If you get 2 mansion candies, you get:
  114. - L49 Alakazam
  115. - L50 level-up (bad)
  116. - L50 Blackbelt (good)
  117. - L51 Rhydon (only with good Special)
  118. - L51 Pidgeot
  119. - L52 Alakazam (only with 15 DV Speed)
  120. - L53 Jynx (only with bad Attack)
  121. - L54 level-up (bad)
  122. - L54 Gengar
  123. - L55 Golbat
  124. - L56 level-up (bad)
  125. - L56 Gyarados
  126. - L57 level-up (bad)
  127. - Can X Spec on Champion with good stats
  128. - L57 Pidgeot
  129. - One level-up on Champion (good)
  130. - One fewer level-up overall
