> Don't pick up Route 25 Ether > Sell Nugget, TM34, and either Pokéballs or Antidote > Pick up Max Ether after Rock Tunnel > Use Max Ether after Silph Rival > If you are low HP before Lavender, buy Celadon Revive > Adjust your shopping to make it affordable. Some options: > 3 Super Potions, 11-2-4 X items (the extra X Speed is hardly ever useful on Agatha in races, but this means you must Thrash Silph Arbok) > 2 Super Potions, regular X items > Buying 4 Pokéballs and 7 Potions at the start allows you to afford 3 Super Potions and 11-2-5 X items > Otherwise, pick up Safari Zone Revive. This also allows you to afford 4 Super Potions in Celadon or extra X items > Optional to keep slaves in E4. Loses 5 seconds to HoF cutscene, but can save more back on Bruno by just going in with redbar without save/heal Pros: > Free to keep low HP for Lavender Tower > Easy recovery from unforeseen deaths, i.e. gen 1 misses, mistakes > Juggler setup for boom HP is free - If good boom HP, safe for Confusion crits - If bad boom HP, X Acc Drowzee, Horn Drill Hypno. Stall on Drowzee with Poké Flute or Bubblebeam. > Optional to keep slaves going into E4 and keep redbar without saving or healing for Bruno (loses 5 seconds due to HoF cutscene, but saves back more by not having to heal for Bruno) > Less likely to have Blizzard issues on Lance by having 2 Elixers in E4 > Faster Bruno as can Blizzard the Onixes > With this strat, you would often swap Ether down on Fly menu. Max Ether ends up in a lower slot in the bag, therefore allowing quicker usage in Silph than Ether > Not scrolling over Ether in both Cut and Bike/TB teach menu > Saves 6 inputs over picking up the Ether and using it in Silph Cons: > If no Pokéballs and Antidote in your inventory, select one of the following: - Keep TM34, can't buy Celadon Revive - Pick up Awakening in Lavender Tower - Use Elixer in Silph instead of Max Ether - Skip Revive > Loses time to an extra sell and slightly longer (17 frames) pickup of Max Ether > 2 more inputs than using Elixer in Silph
