Attack) 2) Desert candy, and also lake candy if 295-446 or Torrent for Shelly (15+ IV Speed, any Attack/Sp. Attack not listed above; get 8/4/14/2 if 21+ Sp. Atk and 18+ Speed) 3) Desert and lake candies (9-14 IV Speed (get Carbos with 9-10) or 29+ Sp. Attack) - get route 111 elixer unless skipping desert candy - get desert candy unless 31+ IV Attack, 15+ IV Speed and 0-22 Sp. Attack (these numbers are important for Winona too) - if 295-446, use it early - if 0-294 or 447+ and torrent, use it + the petalburg candy before shelly, use the lake candy on mt. pyre, and use the pyre candy to revive to 38 - if 0-294 or 447+ and no torrent, skip the lake candy, and use 3 candies atop mt. pyre to reach 37 must use 295-446 exp strats (fight hiker) if bad speed for vigoroth/carvanha/grovyle/golbat - 9 outspeeds all with 1 carbos - 10 outspeeds all with 1 carbos - 11 outspeeds all - 12 outspeeds all - 13 outspeeds all - 14 outspeeds all, also ties linoone if 15-31 speed, use flex strats (don't fight hiker; candy early only with 295-446) consider resetting 6-8 speed; requires carbos and 42 for golbat (only attainable by delaying candies, which means x speed x3) *means reset at lv. 8 with a +0 ---- fallarbor standard buy 10 super repels 9 x specials 3 x speeds 14 x attacks 1 guard spec fallarbor buy with 21+ IV Special, 18+ IV Speed and getting desert candy 10 super repels 8 x specials 4 x speeds 14 x attacks 2 guard spec fallarbor buy with 29+ IV Special and <18 IV Speed 10 super repels 10 x specials 4 x speeds 13 x attacks 2 guard spec fallarbor buy with skipping desert candy 9 super repels 10 x specials 4 x speeds 15 x attacks 2 guard spec fallarbor buy with skipping desert candy and 28+ IV Speed 9 super repels 11 x specials 3 x speeds 15 x attacks 1 guard spec ----- Speed IV Decision 0-5 (0-20 -) Reset 6-8 Carbos, use 4 candies atop Mt. Pyre (42 for Golbat) 9-10 Carbos, use Werster's strat 11-14 No Carbos, use Werster's strat 15-17 No Carbos, use 2 candies atop Mt. Pyre (old strats) 18+ No Carbos, use 3 candies atop Mt. Pyre (my strats) Special IV Decision 0-31 - Reset 0-6 Use Werster's strat (40 for Mightyena, 41 for Golbat) 7-29 Use 2 candies atop Mt. Pyre (old strats) 30 - 18 + Use 3 candies atop Mt. Pyre (my strats) and fast T&L 19-24 + Use Werster's strat (3 X Spec for Pelipper) and fast T&L 25-31 + Use 2 candies atop Mt. Pyre (old strats) and fast T&L Attack IV Decision 20 - 13 + Get 295 or 465 exp. (my strat if 0-294, Werster's strat if 295-446, modified my strat if 447+) 14-31 + Use 2 candies atop Mt. Pyre (old strats, can get Altaria at +4 at Lv. 37) NOTES - Must prioritize fast T&L fight when can get 122-144 on Lunatone (literally 25 seconds saved with no added risk) - Must prioritize outspeeding Norman's Vigoroth, Rival 3's Grovyle, Maxie 2's Mightyena and Matt's Golbat - Vigoroth without 295 exp. really sucks with any neutral - Slakoth can suck without good stats (need to check #s) - Winona fight really sucks with 2 candies, <14 +Attack and 20-27 Speed (refine #s later) (add Defense IVs for T&L) PUTTING THE PUZZLE TOGETHER 14-31 + Get 183 exp. and stop there (Vigoroth and Altaria are good as normal) Can tell with 27 @ 13 (and 24 @ 11 is 15+) Possibly get extra candies with 30-31 IV Sp. Atk (T&L) Definitely get extra candies with bad Speed
