10606 | Hasty 7/20/23/21/15/31 Compared to a standard "runnable" Mudkip: MAJOR DIFFERENCES - Must fight Timmy to hit several Attack thresholds, mainly Rival 2's Grovyle - Outspeed Rival 2's Grovyle without X Speed (saves a valuable turn and $350 in Petalburg) - Outspeed Wattson's Magnemite without X Speed (eliminates Supersonic risk and potential heal before fight; can also X Speed past Voltorb) - Outspeed CTB's Wingull - Facade from Norman's first Slaking is a damage range to 2HKO (not a range if L30 or if Growl is used instead of X Defend) > Work around this by switching to a slave that has Growl on turn 1. If Facade, slave dies, so bring in Marshtomp and use Growl on loafing turn (so keep Growl, not Mud-Slap). If Yawn, have the slave use Growl on the loafing turn, then let it die and bring in Marshtomp and start setting up on the next loafing turn. This strat makes the X Defend unnecessary, although it may still be worth the investment (Slaking does like 25 damage after Growl+X Defend). - Outspeed T&L MINOR DIFFERENCES - Outspeed Calvin's Zig - Do less damage to Calvin's Zig at -1 - Damage range on first museum Carvanha (can eliminate with early Soft Sand) - Damage range on museum Zubat (irrelevant if in Torrent) - Outspeed Vivian's Meditite and always 2HKO with WG+MS (so lead with WG to save 3 seconds of speedfall text) - Less damage on all of Norman's pokes - Must use third X Attack on Rival 3 (extra turn, but can Strength Wailmer) - Outspeed Doduo - Outspeed Matt's Sharpedo - Damage range on Matt's Sharpedo VERY MINOR DIFFERENCES - Have to Mud Shot Brawly's Makuhita - Speedtie the X Speed Delcatty at L28 (probably worth fighting instead of X Acc Delcatty) - Outspeed Zangoose at L29 (since MS x2 won't kill anyway, just Strength+WG+Strength to save speedfall text) - Damage range on first Mt. Pyre Zubat (irrelevant if in Torrent) - Speedtie Winona's Altaria - Outspeed Archie 2's Crobat at +1 with Carbos ----- Test run notes (11/1) - 30-36 grovyle - persims when? prob early - just risk golbat heal range. would be 1 extra turn, 1 extra strength pp, much less risk - get repel to wear off AFTER timmy - early brawly? - which delcatty? - early bed? really nice for PP (still good on surfs), and should be no loss except hp manip for mightyena (but you alleviate risk of missing carvanhas) - use +2 spec strat on winona (means 12 x atk is fine, although might want 9 spec) - wingull b/c ultra ball chance? - use desert candy after delcatty (timmy makes you 29. minor time loss on machop, 27 delcatty/29 linoone is a wash, then 33 for rival 3, save a turn with x attack x2, makes early bed easier, fewer tentacools, guarantee pyre zubats, then experience returns to normal in fortree gym - can replenish full heals in mossdeep (so 3-4 heal powders should be ok) - need 3 speed IVs for crobat (otherwise tie) - 2 potions, 5 supers for winona/T&L/archie torrent manip - carbos + x speed on winona? also can fight x speed delcatty and outspeed crobat at +1 ----- Shopping notes 11/2 fortree shopping (post-mt. pyre): 11 super repels, 4 super potions, 3 hyper potions, 1 revive > get early potions for manip since you'll have plenty of supers (prob 2/5 in slateport) > 0 4 11 8 12 1 2 || herb shop 5 5 - 2 extra x speed for kyogre rather than 1 - 2 extra x spec from these standard uses: > winona > winona > archie 2 > archie 2 > wallace > glacia > glacia > glacia > champ 23-52 after winona no damage on matt 52-87 for xatu 15-87 for T&L SKIP ETHER, then X Attack on Winona probably skip carbos (can't use on delcatty anyway + you get altaria most of the time anyway + crobat speedtie can be worked around, maybe x speed twice because you often need to stall) winona if at very high health (rare): x speed, x attack, x spec (skip if in torrent), surf, strength x2, surf, strength x2 (you want to give swellow more turns to increase chance of going below <50% so pelipper doesn't use supersonic. also can guarantee skarmory range if you get torrent from pelipper) 7 super repels loses 5.5s to 6 max repels. other downsides: fewer revives, harder to skip E4 center main benefits: - never have to sell overheat - never run out of healing items - late-game supers for torrent manip - always get enough x spec and speed for kyogre - always get x attack for winona - can x speed on winona - can x spec on shelly - can x spec x3 on archie 2
