Compendium (trainer stats, moves, experience, money): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1n7rmyMGOR9ishlC8LuXxKtSgnwNxOUY2XScyPvFnGqo/edit#gid=0


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 32 frames, assuming you do not run near them.
  • 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.
  • Zigzagoon has a 10% chance of picking up an item after each battle.

    Pre-Abra, remove items any time you notice them, for it may be a valuable Ultra Ball Post-Abra, remove items any time you Teleport, Fly, or swap party members

  • 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%.

Before starting:

  • Have a save file with the text speed as FAST, battle scene as OFF and battle style as SET
  • Set the timer to -25.10

    Set the timer to -23.10 and add 2 seconds to "YES" timing to practice

NEW GAME

  • Select "New Game" when the timer hits 0.00
  • Choose the boy
  • Give yourself any 1-character name

LITTLEROOT TOWN

  • Withdraw the Potion from the PC, then set the clock to the default time
  • After the TV cutscene, walk right to May's house. Walk upstairs, then talk to May, then walk out
  • Walk up to Route 101

ROUTE 101

  • Choose Mudkip after looking in the bag. Select "YES" when the timer hits 2:39:9x
  • Check Mudkip's nature and stats. Reset unless you see one of these Mudkips: > 10602 | Lonely 30/29/18/18/14/24 ..... Lv. 5 stats: 21/14/9/10/10/10 > 10603 | Lonely 24/18/14/30/30/20 ..... Lv. 5 stats: 21/13/9/11/11/10

    Reset immediately if you see 20 HP or a female Mudkip unless you want to verify how early/late your timing was

  • Poochyena: Tackle spam

LITTLEROOT TOWN

  • Give Mudkip a 1-character name
  • Head north to Route 103

ROUTE 103

  • Rival 1: Tackle spam (use Potion if a non-crit Pound will kill)

  • Run through the grass to dodge the remaining trainers

    Favour using Orans first to save Potion If no slave, saving Potion is a priority

  • Roxanne: Water Gun spam > Roxanne will use a Potion (up to 2) whenever her Pokemon is at <40% HP > Nosepass does ~15-20 damage with Rock Tomb and Rock Throw > If Nosepass has lowered your Speed and is faster on the turn that you can kill it, sacrifice a slave to undo the Speed drop

  • If a Rock Smash slave is still needed, catch a level 8 Makuhita (or Geodude/Aron)
  • Use an Oran berry on Makuhita/Geodude/Aron and swap to front and use a Repel if Abra is needed still; grind on first floor, moving in place

  • Repel, equip Soft Sand one step before the grass, heal to 13+ HP

  • Pick up the hidden Full Heal (2U and 4R of Timmy)
  • Rival 2: (Heal as necessary), X Attack x2, X Speed, Mud-Slap(+Heal if >40 HP)+Mud Shot, Mud Shot+Mud Shot, Water Gun > Wailmer will sometimes use Rollout if it will kill (~2 HP). Use a second Mud-Slap if necessary. > Grovyle usually does over half with Absorb and about 9 with Quick Attack. > Grovyle will usually use Quick Attack (~9 HP) if it is guaranteed to kill, so you must Super Potion if this is the case > 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

ROUTE 110 (after Rival 2)
