	> The manip has a 2/60 chance to produce a Nidoran that does not get in the ball with perfectly executed inputs
	> If the Nidoran breaks out, or you're not confident in throwing the ball perfectly, Tackle it twice before throwing a ball
	> If the manip fails, you might have gotten one of the 1/60 chances, aka IGT0s. Re-save to get a new chance

	> The manip has a 1/60 chance to produce an early Paras (you should weaken this one, since you won't get the normal one)
	> The manip has a 1/60 chance to produce a Paras on the desired tile that does not get in the ball with perfectly executed inputs
	> If the Paras breaks out, or you're not confident in throwing the ball perfectly, Poison Sting it once before throwing a ball
	> This manip requires a lot of practice. You can do runs without it while learning, but you'll eventually want to attempt it
	> If the manip fails, it might have been due to RNG. You can either continue as normal and perform a backup Paras manip at the end of Mt. Moon, or re-save to get a new chance
