This buys one less potion in Petalburg, which is 99% of the times fine. The timesave that skipping one potion means is just too good. Petalburg Shopping Buy: 3 Potions, 7 Repels. Rustboro Shopping Sell: 2 Great Balls, Rock Tomb Buy: 3 Super Potions, 3 X Speeds, 3 X Attacks Fallarbor Shopping: Sell: Nugget, Bulk Up, Steel Wing Buy: 3 Super Potions, 11 Super Repels, everything else is the same. The main timesaves are not selling Poké Balls (also good to stall against Flannery) and buying all X Speeds and Repels in one go. GOOD BAD Instant Scrolling on Repels (from 1 to 7) Awkward X Speed on Archie Buying Repels in one go (around 4 seconds of timesave) Slightly worse scrolling (not even a second of timeloss) Buying X Speeds in one go (same thing) One less Potion Not selling Poké Balls (3 seconds) More stalling options on Flannery If you don't have to X Speed on Wattson you can just use the X Speed to stall on Flannery. If you have 0 Potions after Roxanne you can just sell your Poké Balls and buy another one in Rustboro. Basically evens out with the old shopping. IMPORTANT: If you fight Bug Catcher Jose, buy 2 Super Potions in Fallarbor and then 3 Energy Powders in Lavaridge.
