Pokemon Brown Any% Glitchless Guide

Big credit goes to Dabomstew who routed this game previously! I adopted his old guide and turned it into a more update version. Also big thanks to dabom for find the High special Bellsprout manip :)

good squirtle is 11 attack / 10 speed / 11 special at level 5,
but realistically these will be a giant pain to reset for, so you can accept 1 lower in attack or speed (preferably not both)
or go for all 3 of 12 attack / 11 speed / 12 special at level 6, which is slightly lower stat requirements across the board but faster to check and should still be good enough
