Rayquaza manip

Manipulating Rayquaza takes about 22 seconds. There is a convenient cluster of 4 that makes our lives much easier: from frame 957 to 960. All of these have rather good stats to finish the game, especially for Champion. Whether this ends up being worth it or not is due to be tested, but it would bring a lot of consistancy to the run. From minor stuff such as Aerial Acing Sandslash because we already know our stats, to always being faster than Gyarados after a Dragon Dance. This would also allow us to cut some X Attacks on our Fallarbor shopping (perhaps you can skip selling Steel Wing?), since you'd know that your attack will be at least decent.

The stats that we would get are these:
957	Adamant	14	27	31	15	12	26	Bug	49
958	Lonely	26	15	12	9	6	24	Rock	52
959 Naughty	24	9	6	22	24	27	Poison	47
960	Adamant	27	22	24	19	26	21	Bug	62

Here's a run down on the average time saves:
Buying X Attacks: ~0.15 seconds.
Juan: ~2 seconds (never miss the Whiscash range).
Wally: ~1 second (never fly).
Claydol: ~0.33 seconds (AA right away, no outrage)
Julie: 1.8 seconds.
Stats check: ~0.5 seconds.
Phoebe: ~2 seconds.
Glacia: ~1 seconds.
Drake: ~6 seconds.
Wallace: ~7-15 seconds (depends on what Quaza you get).

These numbers variate quite a bit due to the different scenarios, which are stabilized thanks to the consistancy of our stats (you can easily lose 45 seconds to getting confused against Wallace's Whiscash, hitting yourself and getting Amnesia). Overall, this seems optimal, as the time loss will be at most minor and you'd have a lot of consistancy for your runs. It is true that you can just go ahead and hope for the best, and that you can get better Quazas than these, but this argument might fall into the good ol' "there's no need to manip anything; just get lucky". I think this opens some new possibilites for the run, and it should not be underestimated. It could also bring some route changes.
