STUFF TO KNOW

Running near spinners and rotators causes them to face certain directions. If you try to run past a spinner or rotator, s/he will always catch you.
Opening the bag or Pokemon menu freezes spinners for 31 frames, or until you run near them. This is called bag manip. Walking speed is 16 frames per tile, and biking speed is 16/8/4 for tile 1/2/3+ of acceleration. Turning from a stationary position is 8 frames.
The cursors for the main menu and inventory never never reset unless you save+quit (so no point in swapping items to the top of your inventory).
You cannot buffer inputs in Gen 3, so it is generally best to menu immediately after an event, rather than in the middle of movement.
When Mudkip/Marshtomp/Swampert's HP is at 1/3 or less, its Torrent ability will trigger, which boosts the power of Water-type moves by 50%.

RNG MANIPULATION NOTES

If you want to use RNG manipulation for Mudkip stats, use this tool: http://forums.pokemonspeedruns.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=499

Recommended IV constraints: HP 0/0/0, ATK x/23/10, DEF 0/0/0, SPA 31/13/0, SPD 0/0/0, SPE 24/10/0 Recommended natures: all except Bold/Timid/Modest/Calm/Impish/Careful Recommended frame window: 8060 to 8370 (requires good mashing; adjust back as necessary) Check your trainer ID as soon as you gain control of your character, then type it into the program. Start the timer when you press A to select your name. The frame-to-time conversion in the program is inaccurate. Subtract about 0.97 seconds from the listed time. The time in the program minus 0.97 seconds indicates when you should press A to confirm your selection of Mudkip in Prof. Birch's bag.
RNG manipulation is not consistent like it is in Gens 4-5. This is because various random events cause the RNG to advance at different speeds throughout the game. If aiming for a specific frame, you shouldn't expect a success rate of more than 10%. If aiming for a cluster, you'll have a higher success rate but slightly worse Mudkips on average.

Before starting:

Have a save file with the text speed as FAST, battle scene as OFF and battle style as SET

Check Mudkip's nature and stats

If NOT using RNG manipulation: - Note your trainer ID - Use this program to check your IVs: http://forums.pokemonspeedruns.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=499 - Reset any -Attack nature - Reset any -Sp. Attack nature if the IV is 0-21 - Reset any -Speed nature if the IV is 0-20 - Reset any Attack IV of 0-17 (unless +Attack nature) - Reset any Speed IV of 0-2 (unless +Speed nature) - Otherwise, the Mudkip is probably runnable, although you should reset if all of its stats are barely runnable (for example, neutral nature with IVs of 10/20/10/0/10/3)

1. Run to the tile immediately to her left, then walk up 1 and bag manip
2. Run to the tile 2L from her, then walk right 1 and up 1 and open just the main menu. If she hasn't spun to face up, it's a safe pass. If she has, repeat this manipulation until she doesn't spin.
When you reach the double spinners:

Fight the bottom spinner for experience (WG) Wait for the top spinner to turn, then open the bag and teach Rock Tomb over Growl before passing For the second pass, run to 1R, 1D from him, forcing him to face down, then walk up to let the Hiker see you Hiker: WG

Rival 2: X Attack x2, X Speed, heal to ~45 HP, Mud Shot x2, Rock Tomb

You can't wake up from sleep on the first turn you try to attack, so waste this turn BEFORE healing If you get burned, you need to heal the burn before killing Slugma. Double burn = run over You need to be able to survive an Absorb from Grovyle before killing Slugma. Grovyle does 40-48 on 0-2 IV -Sp. Def, 30-36 on 8+ IV neutral, and 34-40 on everything else Grovyle generally does 9 damage with Quick Attack. If you are 100% sure you'll get QA, use a Potion to heal; otherwise, use a Super Potion If you miss the first Mud Shot on Grovyle, you can sometimes manipulate Quick Attack by healing to an HP at which Absorb hits Marshtomp into QA range. This gives you another chance to hit the first Mud Shot at the expense of a Super Potion You can usually finish Grovyle with Tackle to avoid super-effective text If you have x/30/15+ IV Sp. Attack, you might want to double Tackle Wingull to manipulate Torrent

Archie:

Before the fight, heal to full if you have <a/18/4 Speed. Heal to 30+ HP if you have x/18/4+ Speed and either 1) <10 HP, or 2) no Super Potions If you have x/18/4+ Speed, follow these strats: http://forums.pokemonspeedruns.com/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=415 - If you enter at 10-29 HP, use a Super Potion on turn 1, then do normal 20-33% HP strats If you have <a/18/4 Speed, just X Special + Surf spam - If you're confused on Crobat and one hit away from being below 50% HP, use a Heal Powder - Strength OHKOs Sharpedo after a Swagger. Surf OHKOs Sharpedo at +1 if in Torrent
