- ***UPDATE: Teach Giga Drain over Razor Leaf for Silph Co. (but skip Hyper Beam)? Then do 2 X Attacks on Cooltrainer to make PP work. Need PP item for E4R1, though***
- ***UPDATE 2: Get Hyper Beam (helps on sidequests), and maybe teach Giga Drain early since you can't skip E4R1 PP item without YOLOing Lorelei with Razor Leaf? Helps with Silph Co. and Viridian Gym (save healing time/items) and Hypno. Main problem is Cooltrainer***
- ***UPDATE 3: Always get Hyper Beam with 31 Attack and 27+ Speed? Always skip with 30 Attack and <27 Speed? Everything else is very close

- After much deliberation...
- - Stat thresholds:
- > HP: 10
- > Attack: x/x/28
- > Defense: 12/x/x
- > Sp. Atk: x/19/x
- > Sp. Def: x/x/x
- > Speed: x/24/x
- - Hyper Beam is a flex strat. Everything is the same until you get Return
- - Don't evolve in Silph Co.
- - Favor Hyper Beam under the following conditions (in order of importance):
- > 31 IV Attack
- > High Pokemon count (can safely buy 22 Ultra Balls)
- > 31 IV Speed
- > 29-30 IV Speed (gets mansion Carbos)
- > High Poke/Great Ball count
- > Lonely nature
- - Speed IV effects:
- > 31: 0 Carbos without Hyper Beam, 1 with | Ties Kadabra, outspeeds Sabrina
- > 30: 0 Carbos without Hyper Beam, 2 with | Ties Kadabra, outspeeds Sabrina
- > 29: 1 Carbos without Hyper Beam, 2 with | Ties Kadabra, outspeeds Sabrina
- > 28: 1 Carbos without Hyper Beam, 2 + 1 extra Speed EV with | Ties Kadabra, outspeeds Sabrina
- > 27: 2 Carbos, must get L54 | Slower than Kadabra, tied with Sabrina
- > 26: 2 Carbos, must get L54 | Slower than Kadabra, tied with Sabrina
- > 25: 2 Carbos, must get L54 | Slower than Kadabra, slower than Sabrina
- > 24: 2 Carbos, must get L54 and 3 extra Speed EVs | Slower than Kadabra, slower than Sabrina
- - Save for:
- > Viridian Rival (bad Defense only)
- > Lance 1
- > Champion 1
- > Lorelei 2
- > Agatha 2
- > Champion 2 (if no Intimidate slave)
