This stage actually took a bit of rerouting before settling on this path. The beginning is quite precise to get the right bounce off the Masher. The really annoying part for doing this quickly is getting the blind drop to activate the boss, but still be left of the centre of the arena so the boss hits you to the left.
The boss fight is pretty fun to get him in 2 cycles. Happy with where this landed. Any further improvement on the time would have to come from a different strategy, given I have to wait for the cycle of the platform after the springs regardless.

Alright, another improvement, pretty decent time here! Still a few errors and bad spots, but got some very good luck in some spots, the hunts overall were really good, and some Pokemon had some excellent stats too.
Baton Pass is a speedrun category where you use a different Pokemon for every major fight, which in this game is every Gym Leader and E4 member.

Great improvement here! And redemption after that Drapion non-finish from a while ago.
Honestly didnt even get amazing drafts in the back half at all where they typically matter the most, but just managed to get opponents with even worse mons.
