Pokémon Let's Go - All Obtainables Route Changes/Notes

Here are all of the route changes since my last PB. I'm not entirely sure if all (or any) of these are faster, but the best way to find out is to try! Some of these were seen in my last few attempts, but some (denoted by a *) are new as of this week!

- Take advantage of the Moon Stone respawn in Mt. Moon. There are 4 Moon Stone evolutions and 3 Moon Stones in the game meaning we either need one of the stones to respawn, or we need to catch the Moon Stone evolution. Note, this has been consistent for me, but not for other runners. Not sure what the kicker is here, but until it stops working for me I'll keep doing it
- Trade for Alolan Diglett, which evolves in 1 level rather than 7*
- Use Alolan Dugtrio for Hideout/Tower*
- Do Erika and Surge early, allowing us to buy Ultra Balls in Celadon when we go Stone shopping*
- Skipping the Protect TM*
- Get 30 extra Ultra Balls on Route 16
- Catch Dratini ASAP after getting Sea Skim, and evolve it fully to Dragonite over the course of the run*
- Zapdos fight is harder since we do it earlier. Will use Magneton and Voltorb*
- Delay Old Amber/Mt. Moon round 2 until after the Elite 4*
- Force Magikarp on Route 21*
- Use Dratini/Dragonair as my partner Pokémon after the Blue fight*
- Complete Dojo after Sabrina
- Chain for Meowth after Koga/Route 15, giving me enough catches for Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle, and keep that Combo until Victory Road where I can catch a Hitmonlee
- Catch Nidorina/Nidorino on Route 23 for Dragonair EXP. Also, since my second Mt. Moon trip is delayed, Nidoqueen/Nidoking are very useful bonuses*
- 2C some fights to save menus in the Elite 4, and give Dragonair some extra EXP*
- Skip the chain for Dragonite*
- After Elite 4, get Old Amber, (Moon Stone), and revive Fossils*
- Trade for Alolan Meowth, which evolves in 1 level rather than 13*
- Articuno is taken out with Moltres*
- Do Cerulean Cave as the very last thing to maximize EXP on things that need to evolve*

My biggest worry with the route is that Dragonair will not have enough EXP to evolve, however I think it'll be pretty close with Candies (my super uneducated guess is that it'll hit Level 45 by the end of the catching). Some other notes on possible improvements:
- Forcing some later catches (Raticate, Graveler, etc) to maximize EXP for Dragonair may be required
- Running on Pikachu could be a thing since Alolan Dugtrio saves more time there
- Main switching to Zapdos rather than Starmie might be better, since we're doing Power Plant literally as early as possible. The downside is we need a way to beat Mewtwo and Starmie is (currently) the best way. Something like Mega Gyarados could work but that's a bit of a time sink
