PMD Sky ReA #3 Run notes

PMD Sky ReA #3 Run Notes
A year later, a few new routing ideas, and a fresh tracker specifically for Explorers of Sky allowed me to conquer my personal best by 4 hours, as well as beat the recent world record by 20 minutes!

For the heavy RNG parts:
Any%: 7:03:42 (ok)
Spinda’s Cafe Grind: 1:01:23 (ok)
Aegis Cave in total: 1:47:07 (below average)
Secret Slabs: All first try (insanely good)
Seven Treasure legendaries: 5th try Ray (yikes), 3rd try Mew, 2nd try Kyogre, 1st try for the others. (good other than Ray being really bad)
Spacial Rift Recruiting: 1:22:59 (insanely good)
KEK: 1:42:17 (below average, really killed my morale for a bit)

The good / great that I remember:
Secret Slabs were all first try, which is incredibly lucky to have happen
Probably the least amount of time anyone has ever spent grinding Spacial Rift
The new tracker allowed me to find Pokemon instantly and saved me at least an hour
Cleanup splits were minimal, just needed Chingling
Many recruits didn’t take too long, except a few that I’ll mention later.
No crashes or IRL issues!
Evo wave 2 to the end of the run went very smooth.

The bad / horrible that I remember:
K E K. While it could have been worse, it was a really rough way to end out day 1.
Rayquaza took 5 tries to recruit, and considering that dungeon takes 50 floors to get through it was really disappointing and slow.
Aegis took a little bit longer than I had hoped on the 2nd visit, still happy I got Ice Rock Steel in one go.
Messed up my Wondermail Code order at the beginning of the run, ended up not affecting the run much other than having to go back and input an extra code at some point.
Chingling had to be obtained later
Fed a Golden Seed to Chiko early so I was 1 level under the recruit boost for a bit
That Bidoof’s Wish Jirachi fight...What the actual fk
During parts where there was no recruiting and I just had to complete the dungeon, I felt like I took really slow (Any% end splits, Darkrai end splits)
Pichu took way too long. I call bs to that being average.
Rotom
2nd Bronzor
Houndour
Igglybuff
2nd Kirlia took a bit
Blissey took a bit

Overall I’m glad I tried out this run again. The new strats and tracker made for a very nice PB, and I know I can push it down further with the new knowledge I gained throughout this run. Something for the future I guess, hopefully sooner rather than later.
