FRLG Late Surge (Any%)

FRLG Late Surge (Any%)

Verdict: unironically good, probably should just be recommended in races(?)

Shiru's late Surge pastebin: https://pastebin.com/0BnbLxD5
(Note that this is for Round 2 so most of everything is different)
Exarion's late Surge pastebin: https://pastebin.com/BPbsA9Fa
(Also a Round 2 pastebin, but a different route than Shiru's)

How: Elixir Hiker, DO NOT CANDY from 26->27 or 27->28, (teach cut on some turnframe on the way from boat to cerulean,) candy 33->36, grab tea early and bike from celadon to vermillion, candy 40-42 on 2nd spinner bag manip in kogas gym, do +2 silph rival

WHAT TO FIGURE OUT: Shopping - is Vermillion mart skip fine in any%?, also leads to the question is boat healing early correct?, calcs

level marks:
25 for oddish #1 (pulse* 13/16)
26 boat rival
27 for 4 turn
28 Venonat
28 Slowpokes and Martha Oddish (apparently Bite x2 is a range lol)
29 (bulbasaur) Oliver Geodude, Jigglypuff
30 Pidgey
32 snakes
36 for gio 1 and the entirety of surge's gym
37 for start of rival 4
38 for marowak
39 for the entirety of last lavender rocket

42 for the entirety of Koga
43 after killing growlithe
44 after first bellsprout
45 after venusaur
46 after marowak
47 after kadabra
48 after machop
50 after gio
i think the only different e4 calc is youre already 57 for arcanine

Shopping ideas: 7/3/3/4, SELL NUGGET, standard verm & lavender shops otherwise (could buy an extra super potion or just use the extra money on 1 extra x acc for lance)
MART SKIP (probably bad for any% but idk): SELL ROCK TOMB, 7/3/2 or 3 para heals/3/7, BOAT HEAL EARLY, grab rock tunnel super, how many supers in lavender?
probably have to sell nugget regardless because Tucker and Surge give $4056

Order of Events in Celadon: Hideout, grab Fly, Shopping, Tea, go to Saffron (I think that's the least movement for Any% purposes, not sure tho)
Could also pick up the Coin Case and grab the R2 coins path and buy Abra I guess, but I think that's too much of a detour for it to be worth even if you don't have torrent after Gio 1 - also you have to commit early by entering the Lavender centre

GOAL: Blastoise outspeeds and OHKOs Raichu in Torrent (or set up +1 on Voltorb)
Tucker: WG* or WP
Surge: (X Spec if no Torrent), WG*, WG*, WP* (meme thing to check: Bite + WP Raichu without Torrent, don't think that's good cuz you get TWave if you don't get the flinch)
