Pokemon Gold Alt main Typhlosion route* (maniped) This assumes at least FDED Cynda manip and LID Manip Cynda Manip video+info: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiqjajKM2ZE&ab_channel=Elrevolver385 for R29 Manip check the gold manipess route: https://pokemon-speedrunning.github.io/speedrun-routes/#/gen-2/gold-silver/main-glitchless/ really rough sketch of what to do optimized for this specific Cynda (proceed with caution) * (incomplete notes until lance!!!) Hidden Potion, buy 10/9 Potions later Berry Exp route I like using: defeat don + 2/3 L6shrews (if Quilava) or Substitute shrews with L6hop/sprout + Alan Don + 2 shrews =224 exp (192-224 depending on exact encounters) this gives L15 for second well rat,L16 for last well zubat and L23 for Flareon saving 1-3 turns since rat is 71% and Zubat is 46% you are expected to get at least 1 of those (15.19% to miss both) adding 1 more shrew (if 204 exp from wilds) gives 2 additional ranges (again 15.19% to miss both) Rival1: Leer tackle 9.87% 4shot Mikey: Tackle, Leer Tackle Bird/Rat 96.78%/3.75% 2shot Don: Leer tackle skip leer @L8 Nico: Leer tackle skip leer @L8 100% 2 shot in both cases Abe: Leer2/3 tackle 100%/96.78% 3shot/2shot, 1 leer gives 32.98% 3shot (bad pace Play for top end?)
