> If HP is high enough after Falkner, skip center. > Scratch Albert (Standard damage is 4-7) > Pick up Super Potion in grass and heal before Ralph if you got exp. > Do the same but teach Mud Slap and fight Daniel if no exp. Pros: Ralph becomes safer. Allows mud slap strats whilst still being able to benefit if you get encounters. Increases chances of skipping a heal in well. Cons: Albert becomes a death if you hit yourself. Bellsprout before Albert is risky (does 8 damage) Costs about 0.2s assuming an equal number of heals.
