Pokemon Gold Catch em all Glitchless 199 (soft routed untill kanto minus fights i think) *Notes for the finalized route: Since you want to be doing something while the eggs hatch, I'll probably reorder things in the following way: -After Chuck: get extra Masterballs (prob while keeping track of RTC for later Manips and have nightime, more info later) -get Ditto and Eevee and put them into daycare -do lake of rage stuff (maybe togepi hatches here?) -get exp share and gastly -give exp share to gastly and do rocket HQ stuff -after that get magmar, get egg (if possible), and swap eevee with magmar -now do jasmine + pryce, go to blackthorn, get jynx on the way -get next egg and swap magmar with jynx -fight hiker on 45 for his number (do stuff that makes sense to do on the way and after, prob fight clair) -make marill outbreak and do mt.mortar (leave at least party space open for marill and tyrogue) -after that swap tyrogue for jynx and so The specifics need to be figured out (especially finding roamer manips for after Clockreset would be huge), but this is what the ooptmal route kinda looks like. Probably rush to kanto while the first tyrogue is in the day care, swap it with clefairy, hatch tyrogue and put the new one into day care and then grind encounters to have tyrogue at a higher level. All of these things should be done with the minimal amount of catching, so that when you grind for rarer encounters like Miltank and Tauros and/or you take extra steps for outbreaks to happen, you are still making progress towards egg hatching. One thing I like to avoid is having to bike around for 30 min at the end just to hatch the final pokemon. Manip list(Paranthesis mark manips that aren't made yet): Notes on Later Manips: Stepcount is very important for Manips to work, so make sure not to take extra steps and follow the step route perfectly. Entei Manip plans to pickup any useful items, just so if you take extra steps you may have a Chance to fix your missteps. I recommend skipping the XATK in Union Cave and/or the full heal to be at -6/-6 steps. Gonna try to make a Video of the route up to Entei Manip (or suicune Manip) LID Manip (TID Manip for optimal Headbutt trees and good clock reset code, depends on the Money amount before Luckiest Lottery trick) Toto Manip R29 Manip first pass R29 Manip second pass Don Manip Sandshrew Manip Entei Manip* could still be improved, but is good enough for now Suicune/Raikou Manip* could be slightly improved, but really good currently (add encounter Manips for some mons| 1%s especially Chansey) Remark about stepcount: Stepcount needs to be exact until Entei Manip, otherwise it won't work. For that keep in mind that following actions change stepcount -Repel wear out is also -1 step xdd (found that out the hard way) -Ledgehops -1 -Walking in the sight of a trainer(esp relevant for Spinners) -1 -Getting a phone call while walking -1 -Leftside Kimonos instead of rightside is -2 steps -It is very easy to fix your stepcount if you took less steps -If you took more steps, you could either skip some items in Ilex forest or in the worst case: note how many steps you took, then walk 256-(the bonus steps) after ecruteak center then teleport (or be smart abt it lol) -If you want to fix your stepcount, do it before Dick (Trainer after Rival 3) to reach the saving point with psn stepcount 0 (appearently resets after battle, just keep that in mind) Do LID Manip Start a timer and soft reset at the same time and Keep that timer running until the last Clock reset before the last manip Start the game on SS0 (Timer at ~1:00.5) Name yourself a 1 Letter name Do Toto Manip, take off Berry and do R29 Manip (could check TID before the save and put it into the Clock reset website) Defeat any Wild Encounter until Ralph (Goldeen Trainer later) Get the Potion after Mr.Pokemon house and get the berry on the way down Rival: Leer, Tackle spam Name Rival A (Make sure not to catch anything extra before suicune manip) Do R29 manip second Pass Mikey: Rage/Scratch spam Give berry to toto (heal) and call mom before Don Manip(very important!!!) Abe: Rage spam (swap Rage to slot 1) (heal) Rod: Rage spam (heal) Falkner: Rage spam don't jump the Ledge before the center unless you get the Potion on R32 (maybe if no Potion left) Center+ get Egg Get PRZCUREBERRY Albert: Scratch spam/Rage spam if 15 ATK Get Super Pot Turn without walking to get an encounter if you still need exp Ralph: Leer, Scratch spam Ideally kill up to 2 ground type encounters, unless you get hit by Daniel (Keep in mind that you will be -1 steps if he sees you) Russel: WG spam Sandshrew Manip (only to guarantee no Bill hit, since it is actually not much faster on average) Pick up the X ATK (-6 steps if skipped) Dodge Anthony pickup Full heal first (from the right side), then shop, then Kurt Azalea Shop: - 2 Super Pot - 2 Escape Rope - 7 Repel - 3 Antidote Repel 1 step after exiting Kurts House (no ledgehop) Slowpoke well (talk to the first 2 trainers) Grunt1+2: WG spam get the super potion Grunt3: Rage spam Grunt4: WG spam Do Bugsy gym (don't ledgehop on the way) Fight twins from the right Amy&May: 2Scratch, 2 WG Josh: Leer, Scratch Dodge Benny (could save here) Bugsy: Rage spam (pray) 1 step before Rival 2 equip PRZCUREBERRY heal repel teach FC in slot 2 (over Leer) save!!! Rival2: 2WG, 3 FC, 2WG After rival 2 teach Cut over slot 3 (Scratch) before the tree and repel get extra Full heal and Super Pot then HB(maybe skip Full heal to have some room for error on step count (-6), can skip Super pot (-4) if you did alot of mistakes, but generally a bad Idea to skip healing items here) teach HB in next repel menu over slot 1 (Rage) get sweet scent (could skip and get later if needed -6) go around the left side of the sign to avoid the spinner can cut last grass patch to avoid Encounters get bike, register, go to whitney Connie: HB spam save!!!
