PRE-ROUTING:
- Current experience route is good with like 6+ DV Speed (including Carbos)
- Current route works with Vaporeon strats
- Option to skip Rock Slide (better because of freeze), but there's no use in keeping Double Kick
- Can candy to 43 for Hypno/Koga (extra menu but no lost exp.)
	> This makes Venomoth an 83% EQ range with perfect Attack (guaranteed with Special fall)
- Skip X Attacks, keep Potions with 6 or 8+ DV Speed
	> X Speed on Silph Giovanni (guarantee Persian with badge boost, 53-74% range on Nidoqueen)
	> X Acc on Blaine
- Move order:
	> SWAP: HA/Tackle/Leer
	> HA/Tackle/Leer/DK
	> HA/Tackle/Thrash/DK
	> SWAP: Thrash/Tackle/HA/DK
	> Thrash/BB/HA/DK
	> Thrash/BB/TB/DK
	> Drill/RS/TB/IB
	> Drill/EQ/IB/TB
