1. Buy 4 Potions in Petalburg, then sell Poke Balls in Rustboro (unless buying X Attack for Aqua Pooch), then buy 5/5/5 at Herb Shop
	> Loses only 1 second because no museum text
	> Helps make bad Defense runnable
	> Makes it easier to skip buying Potions at second Petalburg Mart
2. Consider Guard Spec. skip on Maxie 1 at ~60% HP
3. Use 4th/5th X Attack/X Speed/Elixer on Winona's Skarmory
4. Skip Leppas with god Sp. Atk (assuming Attack and Speed are good); works because you can delay the Winona Elixer by Surfing a lot of stuff
5. Get Mt. Pyre candy with god Sp. Atk
6. Keep Soft Sand equipped for Mt. Pyre double with +Attack (and then MS Wailmer if you don't want to take damage)

Rayquaza candy for god Sp. Atk? With flex to use on Swampert to get 41+ HP for Gyarados
