I personally think that a PP up Mansion Candy Route is better than 4 Repel... if you X Acc on Viridian Rival. So here's my PP up route I'm only highlighting important things and major differences from the current 4 repel route. So if something isn't mentioned, assume it is the same. 3 Balls If you want to buy more balls then you can buy 3 super potions instead (this doesn't work for early drill, so either figure out the shopping, or just never do early drill (This also allows for 8 potions without changed X item buys)) 7 Potions (Buy 8 Potions if you have NO intention of silph red bar. You can make silph bar work with 8 Potions but its riskier.) Get Route 25 Ether (the one just before Bill) Buy 3 repels 2 Para heals Swap up Repel on Cut Menu Shopping (No Early Drill) 10 Super Repels 4 Super Potions 1 Poke Doll 1 Soda Pop (to trade for Rock Slide) 1 Fresh Water 11 X Accuracies 5 X Specials 3 X Speeds (Buy 3 X Specials 4 X Speeds if you bought 8 Potions) Shopping (Early Drill) 10 Super Repels 3 Super Potions 1 Pokedoll 1 Soda Pop (To trade for Rock Slide) 1 Fresh Water 12 X Accuracies 5 X Specials 3 X Speeds (Again, buy 3 X Specials 4 X Speeds if you bought 8 Potions) Fly Menu (No Early Drill): Swap slot 2 With TM07 use a Super Repel teach TM48 in slot 1 swap slot 3 with X Accuracy teach HM02 to flier fly to Lavender. On Early Drill, do the same thing, but Teach TM07 in slot 1, rock slide in slot 2, and swap slot 2 with X Accuracy (since TM07 is not in slot 2) Ghost Menu: Swap slot 3 with Super Repels, Poke Doll On Arbok, you can either Thrash or X Acc + Drill. If you X Acc + Drill then you only have 4 Drills for Silph Rival. Either Rock Slide Growlithe, BB it x2, or go for Silphbar and BB it for a 1 shot if you X Acc Drill. Silph Rival: Swap slot 4 with Rare Candies after X Acc-ing, then either speed, or special if going for silph redbar and your HP suggests X Special. Use ELIXER after Silph Rival, not ether. Snorlax Menu: Super repel, swap slot 5 with X Special, Pokeflute Post Cycling Road Menu: Super Repel, Swap slot 7 with PP Up, teach Earthquake, Bicycle Standard Safari Zone: Surf Menu: Super Repel, swap slot 8 with X Speeds, teach Surf Blizzard Menu: Teach Strength, Teach Blizzard, Super Repel, Use PP up Blaine: Horn Drill if turn 1 Super Potion Viridian Rival: X Acc, X Speed, Blizzard (TB if it lives and only 1 Blizz remaining), Blizzard, TB, EQ, EQ, HD. Leave at least 1 Blizzard for after fight Ether for Bruno and Drill all 5 Heal and Candy for Agatha. X Spec, EQ, Blizz Golbat, EQ all Elixer after Agatha Drill Champ x6 (Unless turn 1 Sky Attack of course)
