Some Misc strats worth exploring if faster, safer or good enough to be a preferance early Eevee: Get Eevee on arrival in Celadon (after center + depo), let it faint on Last rocket's raticate in pokemon tower. Get Gastly and Dsum for Cubone/Haunter: If Cubone before Haunter, swap Eeevee to front save and repel for Haunter. More of a situational safety strat that has a good chance to reward you. Great balls before snorlax buy around 6-10 Great balls (have to get extra calcium, and need to be careful abt money) improves some catches and improves maximizing catch chance Prob not worth, because it makes the menus scuffed because you either have to skip super potions or juggling Item managment (depo more items for later and stuff) Leftside cyclying road Extra items, for the cost of a bit of timeloss. Always worth because it makes the Money route more flexible and gives you potentially 1 extra FR. Safari repel rush tauros zone on first visit, catch useful stuff on the way. grind for Tauros after saving if enough steps, grind for pinsir if no L31/32 enter fuchsia shop, sell stuff and buy 1 super repel repel for L31 Big nido in entrance otherwise just rush Surf+items and catch stuff if optimal Problem with any Safari strat is, that getting lucky is always better so not sure if this is worth it but having a L31/32 is pretty much needed for Pidgeotto, so forcing it has upsides (additionally save after most catches to save steps | Dsum manip-manip is really strong here if done correctly) Still needs investigation Late Tenta Delay Tenta to after E4, before Seafoam. Buy Max repel if needed. Need to elixir in Blaine gym, get an extra Max ether and use an extra candy on tenta. Early seafoam not fully fledged out yet get Super rod after Koga gym Do fishing -> get Strength+candy -> Get bellsprout+beauty -> do second safari section Do pewter stuff, go to Pidgeotto catch (maybe let L31/32 die somewhere if possible) After Pidgeotto+Rat go to blaine island lab and menu, have Pidgeotto in party for Repel trick Get tenta on the way unless you have it already get Seel+psyduck and catch Articuno (maybe with Masterball and freeze cheese Zapdos catch?) after seafoam do plant after plant get Poliwhirl and slowpoke + shopping center in blaine island gym then do Mansion then blaine gym with tenta + oma Alot of details are missing, prob have to depo 2 elixirs to have enougth bag space and have to manage boxes differently
