I divided the Path into 11 Disconnected* Patches of grass. *Disconnected means, more than 4 steps apart (assuming movement that minimizes encouter tiles) for These Patches I got: Patch 1 Patch 2 Patch 3 Patch 7 Patch 4 Patch 5 Patch 8 Patch 6 Patch 9 Patch 10 Patch 11 Tiles 11 7 6 3 7 6 3 9* 9 9 8*/9* Max Encounters 3 2 2 1 2 2 1 3 2 2 3 Encounterless 0,32291793 0,487084267 0,539799015 0,734710157 0,487084267 0,539799015 0,734710157 0,396595819 0,396595819 0,396595819 0,439517444 1 Encounter 0,533169569 0,486168149 0,450664242 0,265289843 0,486168149 0,450664242 0,265289843 0,454900891 0,525334486 0,525334486 0,491405538 2 Encounter 0,142981178 0,026747584 0,009536743 0,026747584 0,009536743 0,137153808 0,078069695 0,078069695 0,068145695 3 Encounter 0,000931323 0,011349482 0,000931323 Average 0,821925892 0,539663317 0,469737728 0,265289843 0,539663317 0,469737728 0,265289843 0,763256953 0,681473876 0,681473876 0,630490896 Patch 1, Patch 2 and Patch 3 are the grass Patches of R29, 4,5 and 6 are the Patches you have to pass on R30 to get to Mr Pokemon. 7,8 and 9 are the remaining Patches on R30 Right before and after Fighting Mickey. 10 and 11 are the final Patches before violet. Average is additiv. For example: The Average amount of Encounters from the start until Mr Pokemon is 0,821925892+0,539663317+0,469737728+0,539663317+0,469737728+0,763256953=3,603984935 (Sum of averages from Patch 1 to 6). Mostly useless Information, but might be interesting for some :) R32 stuff ^-^ 4 different ways to go through the route: Bottom repel, Leftside Bottom Repel, Rightside Top Repel, Leftside Top Repel, Rightside fastest possible route is getting repel from the top and taking the left path lowest encounter chance is bottom repel and rightside (Spinner pass!!!) Likely optimal to change approach based on pace/Encounters. Getting the super potion for safety in exchange for extra spinner pass can be a factor as well.
