SPINNER MECHANICS: https://pastebin.com/2QCjptA1 ENCOUNTER SLOTS: https://web.archive.org/web/20180407025734/http://upcarchive.playker.info:80/0/upokecenter/content/pokemon-crystal-pokemon-locations.html CATCH RATE CALCULATOR: https://www.dragonflycave.com/calculators/gen-ii-catch-rate PRE-ROUTING - Need to make decision chart for every spinner (and practice guessing how long a spinner has been facing a direction, like shuffle tracking!) - Don't make niche strats that you won't practice (e.g., only optimal with 5 DV Attack and 12 DV Special, and saves 2 seconds) - Probably just grind for early Poliwag? - Save for Anthony/Rival 2/Whitney on god pace? It won't happen often, but good to have time/stat thresholds - Learning/practicing late underground is important (you can't really justify early underground spinnerless because 24 for Bayleef) - Save for Douglas - Spinnerless is ALWAYS late underground. You can afford 2 X Attacks without doing anything extra ($40 left) - 1 spinner should consider late underground unless you tie/outspeed Hitmonlee and get L30 for Hitmonchan - Main PP route: https://pastebin.com/MVXVses1 - Alternate PP route (early Return): https://pastebin.com/mq9vtKRG - Revisit Slash strats because no Douglas? PP route here: https://pastebin.com/X9QeThr9 - Can Strength Celadon Gym Vileplume with 10+ DV (saves inputs?) - Can Surf Raichu - Remember spinners in increments of 15 frames? > WALKING: 0 frames: 6/6/12 15 frames: 9/9/16 30 frames: 12/12/23 45 frames: 21/21/40 > BIKING: 0 frames: 3/3/6 15 frames: 5/5/10 30 frames: 7/7/14 45 frames: 12/12/23 - Waiting for a 25% spin is better than reacting to any spin, unless your reaction time is 20+ frames better with the insta-react - Kanto PP management: > 14-15 Attack: 4 Surfs/1 Return Surge, Return Sandslash > 13 Attack: 3 Surfs/2 Returns Surge, Surf Sandslash > 10-12 Attack: IP Exeggutor, 2 Surfs/3 Returns Surge, Surf Sandslash > 7-9 Attack: Strength Oddish, Surf Porygon, Return Twins, IP Exeggutor, 2 Surfs/3 Returns Surge, Surf Sandslash > 5-6 Attack: Return Oddish, IP Tangela, Surf Porygon, Return Twins, IP Exeggutor, 2 Surfs/3 Returns Surge, Surf Sandslash - With early underground, you have $1278 left if you buy 2 X Attacks ($1778 with 1 X Attack) - Shopping with Benny ($1970 or $1470): > If need 1 X Attack and lost no Full Heals, skip selling Attract > If need 1 X Attack and lost 1-2 Full Heals, buy 6 Escape Ropes and 2 Full Heals > If need 2 X Attacks and lost no Full Heals, buy 6 Escape Ropes > If need 2 X Attacks and lost 1 Full Heal, buy 6 Escape Ropes and 1 Full Heal > If need 2 X Attacks and lost 2 Full Heals, buy 5 Escape Ropes and 2 Full Heals - Shopping with Ivan ($2058 or $1558): > If need 1 X Attack, skip selling Attract and buy 6 Escape Ropes > If need 1 X Attack and lost 1-2 Full Heals, buy 6 Escape Ropes and 2 Full Heals > If need 2 X Attacks and lost no Full Heals, skip selling Attract > If need 2 X Attacks and lost 1 Full Heal, buy 6 Escape Ropes and 1 Full Heal > If need 2 X Attacks and lost 2 Full Heals, buy 5 Escape Ropes and 2 Full Heals - Shopping with Irwin ($2338 or $1838): > If need 1 X Attack, skip selling Attract and buy 6 Escape Ropes > If need 1 X Attack and lost 1 Full Heal, skip selling Attract and buy 1 Full Heal > If need 1 X Attack and lost 2 Full Heals, buy 6 Escape Ropes and 2 Full Heals > If need 2 X Attacks and lost no Full Heals, skip selling Attract > If need 2 X Attacks and lost 1-2 Full Heals, buy 6 Escape Ropes and 2 Full Heals - Don't double weaken Poliwag if crit can kill - Surf Venonats on normal PP route
