      You have a *chance* to do more damage, you also have about a 10% chance to just do the same amount or less damage, so you're looking at a 4 or 6HKO, and that doesn't change using swift, whereas Misty has a 90% chance to 3HKO you if she rolls bubble beam 3 times, faster than you can 4HKO if you use Psychic and she hits you first because she has 15 more speed than you do. So using swift you're guaranteed the hit, and you're almost guaranteed to win the fight as long as she doesn't crit you in 3. Your chances do reduce if you use psychic because you can't "do more damage" if she 3HKO's you with bubble beam.

    Would really like to see this run perfected, using the rare candies, and knowing which moves to use on elite 4 ahead of time. You could get through the whole game without loosing, minimal battles, super fast. Good stuff.

    • @Skarfar90
      @Skarfar90 Год назад +5

      The best consistency that I found was to not do exactly minimum battles. You need to battle some extra trainers, just to get a little more ahead with XP, as well as the TM for Body Slam onboard the SS Anne. Considering that it is a much better move compared to Swift, it will indeed make some battles easier.
      Also, using some Rare Candies when you are on Cinnabar Island, as well as before entering Victory Road will ensure that you completely skip wild encounters. Level 48 will guarantee no encounters.
      If you do everything right, you should finish the game at level 53, with a very good time (sub 3 hours)
