THE ROUTE
11
12
Pick PC Potion, and check Bulbasaur Stats BEFORE Rival 1 fight. The stats you are looking for are 11/10/10/12. Reset if you don't get it.
13
14
	Note 1: These requirements are not that high (about average or better for all stats except att which needs to be 11+ DV) but this process can take some time
15
16
	Note 2: You can go with lower defense stat (9) if you have good special (13). That way some fights are better and you don't get as much damage as usual. Anyway, it is still more dangerous to do it.
17
18-
  Rival 1: Growl x2 and then Tackle Spam. Heal if 6-
18+
  Rival 1: Tackle spam. If he growls you, growl him. (Don't growl more than once)
19
20-
	Note: This fight sucks so this is the safest option since getting a runnable bulba can take a lot of time. However, you can growl only once (or not growl at all) for this battle if you want. The damage you get from Charmander is 4/3/2/6 at 0/-1/-2/crit (assuming standard defense).
20+
Get the potion from the Mart guy on Route 1, get Tree Potion, and Hidden potion in forest
21
22-
Don't fight any encounter in Route 1, skip Virdian Mart and Pick both Potions in the way to Weedle Guy (since you are poison type, don't pick the antidote either)
22+
23
24
Heal for Brock if 11 or less
25
26-
Heal if 10- (Geodude Tackle crit can kill you from 11 but that's really unlikely. If you want to play really safe, heal if 19-)

27
28
	Geodude: Leech Seed, Growl spam till geo is at -6 def, Tackle once and spam growl till the end (Leech Seed give you 2 health back per turn and geo does 2 at -6 att so, heal only if you get a crit latter on the fight or a lot of tackles early on)
29

	Geodude: Leech Seed, Growl spam till geo is at -6 deff, Tackle once and spam growl till the end (Leech Seed give you 2 health back per turn and geo does 2 at -6 att so, heal only if you get a crit latter on the fight or a lot of tackles early on)

66-
On Moon you fight the Hiker and then do PoY Manip. Select Buffer doesn't work so you need to damage the paras (2 tackle + VW). If you find Geodudes (lvl 9+), kill up to 2 for xp (if you don't find them is ok. Just make some fights better but xp is not mandatory)
66+
67
  Hiker: VW all pokes
68-
Pick only the Candy and Escape Rope
68+
69
Do Poy manip, and if you're a God Gaymur, you do this as a yoloball:

71
Turn animations on, then do manip, Buffer Down + A to buffer into bag, then keep holding Down and time A on Pokeball. The cue I use is basically "as you see yourself fast scrolling, time A."

If you arent a god gamer, tackle Paras x2-3

79+
80
	Zubat: Switch in Paras
81-
	Note: this fight is the worst fight in the route. It sucks and that's why you save. You can split xp but then you need or to fight 1 encounter on Moon or to fight the Onix dude on the way to Bills (VW is a 1 shot)
81+
82
Scratch spam until Paras dies, or Zubat gets below 20% HP. Swap in Ivysaur and hit him with that Tackle.
