PROBLEMS WITH CURRENT ROUTE
- Need to deposit items to afford Supers and X Attacks (currently full at Surf)
- 3-4 X Spec on Blaine (and maybe X Speeds for Fire Spin hax)
- Low-level Diglett struggles vs. Surge (buy Supers?)
- Route 24 for Oddish? Low encounter rate on 25 sucks
- Koga before Erika if your bird could get outsped? Then X Attack x2 to guarantee Vileplume
- Aerodactyl for Erika? Teach Fly, 3-turn fight
- Get Mimic early if trading Nido-M? So can fill up for Sabrina
