45-->47 for Viridian Gym (Especially good if you are out of red bar for L44 or L45) PROS: - One fewer menu (-1.3) - 49 for Gyarados (-0.7) - 50 for Dewgong (-0.2) - 51 for Jynx (11 DV Speed only) (0 or -5.8) - 52 for Onix (-0.1) - 55 for Pidgeot + Gyarados (-2.1) - Flexibility to candy after Giovanni (?) CONS: - Slower Strength teach (+0.3) - 42/43 for Blaine (+0.2) - 44 for Sabrina (+3.5) - Toss an extra item with 7-11 DV Speed (0 or +3.2) - 1-4 worse red bar level-ups (0-3 with 12+ DV Speed) (+4.5) CONCLUSION: - Definitely worth it with 11 DV Speed and not in red bar for L44 or L45 - Definitely not worth it with 7-10 DV Speed and in red bar for L44 and L45 - Everything else is borderline
