@@acekingbones There’s an invisible Kecleon in the way

Definitely. At least we get the timesave from not having to teach it

Something coming soon. I've been doing some major reworks of the entire TAS

Encounter RNG setup

lol thanks. Math is hard and words are harder

Thanks for catching that! I guess that's why it's a WIP :)

If you mean "why aren't we getting 6 candies after every battle?" it's because that's literally impossible. There are no rng seeds that would get you that ever. If you mean "why aren't you waiting until the party is full of items before taking them off?" it's again because of limitations in rng. Sometimes the next double candy is split so that one would land on the first zig and the second would land on the sixth zig. The only way we could get the double candy is to have no items on any of the zigs, so we take the time to menu off even if we only have a few items because the extra candy will save time in the long run. It does look weird that we're not getting too many candies at one time, but considering that picking up 2 candies is ~1/10,000 and picking up 3 candies is ~1/1,000,000 and this was done in about 300,000 frames, it makes sense that there aren't that many opportunities to get multi-candies. We actually used an A* search to find the path for getting candies as quickly as possible, so we're confident this is close to optimal.

We’re going to need it later

It’s a surprise tool that will help us later!

It's a work-in-progress script of my own making. The (mostly current as of this video) codebase is here: github.com/UnopenedClosure/ProfOakTASOverlay

feeding those juicy proteins to your zubat? ideally a zubat with a high attack IV and a good nature

@@Pika250 Yep, the plan is to feed 10 Protein to Zubat, sell the other 16 and 4 Nuggets to buy 10 Iron and feed those to Zubat. We're not planning on using it in battle though, so we won't focus on getting high stats. This is just for getting enough friendship for the earliest possible Crobat.

The RTA strat is to Bite before using the X-Acc to ensure a guaranteed kill with 2 Blizzards. The alternative RTA strat is only a range to kill the Gyarados, so most runners don’t do it The Theory TAS saves a turn by finding the Bite Crit, preventing the need for two Blizzards

@@UnopenedClosure so x-acc use because can't fully mainpulate in this tas???

@@user-ei8vz8xy1j this is a Human Theory TAS. The strats are all the same as in an RTA speedrun

@@UnopenedClosure anyway that bite hit cause some thing want to see "can impossible rng led to fully no damage run???"

Venusaur has 214 HP left after sandstorm damage. Non-crit Hyper Beam does a max of 145. Moreover, Metronome move choice is restricted by the RNG. A Hyper Beam kill loses 241 frames to this Mega Kick, because there just aren't any Hyper Beams at that point in the RNG

@@UnopenedClosure this question is because i see long pause before metronome select (is there other better choice in metronome rng to save time over this mega kick???)

@@user-ei8vz8xy1j There are no faster choices. Any earlier moves would require both a critical hit textbox and a super effective textbox, which takes longer than that delay+menu manip+crit textbox

@@UnopenedClosure next question is there any of lance pokemon can die to full dmg+crit mega punch (still search for way to save mega kick or blizzard pp for use on that venusaur)

@@user-ei8vz8xy1j sadly not. Mega Punch has pretty much outstayed its usefulness by Round 2. And Clefable needs a crit Blizzard to kill Venusaur anyway

There’s not a good menu to do it in. Even if you teach Blizzard during one of the menus when you use the Repel, it is slower overall. Specifically, taking the extra time causes you to miss the Cloyster Metronome, which snowballs from there

That’s probably going to be the most manip-heavy fight in the entire run. It takes three max roll crit Blaze-boosted Embers to three-shot the Squirtle

Because metronome is extremely slow to use even in the best-case scenario. IIRC I couldn't find any kills with metronome that were faster than teaching shock wave, although that will vary depending on where in the RNG you are. When I reroute, I'm going to make sure that I have enough mega kicks left that I don't need to use either option
