Continuing on with my transfers from new game speedruns, it's Petit Cup!
The concept of these runs is starting from a new game in the Game Boy game via Dodrio tower, and make a team to beat one of the cups. In this case, Petit Cup (both Round 1 and 2). The reason for doing transfers *only*, is that otherwise just using rentals would be faster. The reason for starting from new game, is otherwise just using perfectly built mons is boring as hell, and extremely easy. The reason for not doing the whole game, is grinding to L100 for Prime Cup is also boring as hell.
But this is a sweet spot that's really interesting to theorise routes for, in terms of Pokemon to get and use, and risk/reward factor between how much to prioritise team building and how much to go in as soon as possible.
This route is pretty good I feel - major improvements from this point would centre around getting less vitamins (and probably not getting Surf given it's clearly possible to never use it), but the Petit Cup section in this run was really solid so I'm happy to finish up here.

![Pokemon Stadium 2 - Little Cups, Transfers only from New Game (Yellow) in 1:38:31 [WR]
In Transfers Only speedruns, you start from a new game in the Game Boy game via Dodrio Tower, and make a team to beat one of the cups. In this case, Little Cup (both Round 1 and 2). The reason for doing transfers *only*, is that otherwise just using rentals would be faster. The reason for starting from new game, is otherwise just using perfectly built mons is boring, and too easy. The reason for not doing the whole game, is grinding to L100 for Prime Cup is also very boring.
But this is a sweet spot thats really interesting to theorise routes for, in terms of Pokemon to get and use, and risk/reward factor between how much to prioritise team building and how much to go in as soon as possible.
Doing Little Cup from Yellow is fun, since in gen 1 you dont have access to very many Pokemon to use at Level 5 since breeding didnt exist. Luckily there is enough to pull through with a little luck. Happy I brought this down beneath my goal, was a fun one to route for sure!
Ive done quite a few of these runs now, but definitely more of these transfers only runs to come in the future too!
