  107. late-game exp +5
  108. TOTAL +85
  109.  
  110. ***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***
  111. ***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***
  112. ***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
