		* The below notes are "Normal strats," if the paste tells you to do something differently, do that instead
		* Keep in mind that at outrageously high HPs (for example, being forced to center after Misty), it might not be worth it to get red bar in races

	- Bug Catcher: BB, Thrash

Rock Tunnel

	- Use Repel one step in
	- Maniac 1: BB, TB
		* WARNING: If bird is alive, you should not stall on Cubone, because if you get crit and Nido dies, Cubone cannot kill Pidgey. (In which case reset all the way back to 4 turn thrash girl or cans or whatever your last save is)

		* 9-15 Don't early drill
		* 16 Early Drill, X Acc on Growlithe
		* 17+ Early Drill, X Acc on Pidgeotto
	- Note: Early Drill is really good in races because it is a faster rival fight and saves a menu, you rarely need a 4th super potion (unless you go for Silph bar, it's entirely your problem if you go for it)
	- Shopping:
		* Floor 2:
			- Sell TM34

	- NOTE: You have extra X items that you can use for stalling and/or reviving. The route uses 10 X Accs (12 with early Drill), 3 X Specs, and 3 X Speeds. All stall strats assume you have enough X items, you will have to do alternate methods to stall if you do not have enough. Once you get the flute that is always a stalling option, just know there is almost always a faster alternative.

		* Pidgeotto:
			- X Acc
			- Swap slot 8 (S.S. Ticket) for X Specs (down 5), X Speed (down 1)
