Patch 18.2: Penultimate Revision of E18 Content

torchic-at least 8 spe iv, great attack, decent all around bulk, no -atk
espurr-good speed neutral or +spe with ok speed, at least decent sp atk if neutral or +sp atk any sp atk iv, not terrible bulk, no -spe and -sp atk
onix-at least 29 spe iv if -spe, 4 spe iv neutral or +spe any spe iv
mareep-good sp atk, decent bulk, at least good speed if -spe or ok if neutral, no -def (unless good bulk) and -sp atk
carvanha-good attack, good bulk (emphasis on defense>hp), at least 6 spe iv neutral or 29 spe iv -spe, no -def (unless great bulk)
nidorina-great sp atk, great speed, good all around bulk, no -sp atk

*decent bulk is decent hp and def, ok hp with good def or terrible hp with great def, debilitating defensive natures wrt ivs also factor into viability
*sp def is not as important and does not really matter on mareep and carvanha, it is actually ideal to have terrible sp def on espurr and carvanha (not with
a -sp def nature though)

stats that matter the most when soft-resetting:
torchic-atk, spd > hp, def, spdef > spatk (reset run if past 2 minutes, long amount of resets, having terrible sp atk also makes early game longer)
espurr-spd > spatk > hp, def, spdef (reset run if not there, takes average to long amount of resets as it also needs to be male)
onix-spd (short amount of resets, also needs to be sturdy, rock head is acceptable if torchic came with speed boost)
mareep-spatk > spd > def, hp > spdef > atk (average amount of resets, beneficial natures can also offset bad ivs)
carvanha-def, atk, spd, hp > spatk > spdef (average to long amount of resets, three stats in attack, defense and speed are extremely important)
nidorina-spatk, spd > hp, def, spdef > atk (short to average amount of resets, automatically comes with 3 guaranteed 31 ivs, preferably in sp atk and speed)

terrible=1-4, ok=5-12, decent=13-17, good=18-23, great=24-31

DISCLAIMERS: 
-Need a decently strong cpu to run this game, otherwise the overworld and some maps will lag and result in inaccurate times (essentials is garbage).
-Timing is determined by RTA instead of IGT, IGT is not really precise (especially on speed up) and only measures actual gameplay and does not account for
resets, loading screens, etc.
-Start the timer when pressing new game and end the timer after beating hardy and exiting his gym.
-No rng manipulation in the run as it does not work, rpg maker xp games base language is ruby and ruby's default rng can not be manipulated without modifying 
the game itself.
-Any mods to the game, weather manipulation (changing system time during the run) and online trade are not allowed, built in speed up function is ok to use
for runs using speed up.
-Transforming or destroying any field effect grants a x1.3 power bonus to the move that does so.
-In general, lowering stats of the ai and being afflicted with status compels them to switch depending on the current situation.
-The ai prefers status moves and moves with secondary effects, but beyond that there is an element of randomness there.
-The ai also knows your stats (notably speed) and items, which influences the moves they make in battle.
-The ai considers the average of damage rolls when thinking about the best possible move it can go for.
-The pokemon they send out next is dependent on the move(s) you have already revealed in battle, your stats relative to theirs, typing, amongst other things.
-If both pokemon faint from a double down, you will send out your pokemon first which the ai knows and will counter that switch accordingly.
***
-Most unimportant trainers and early game battles will have pokemon with random natures and abilities with evs in every stat that is calculated by their 
level x 1.5 with their base ivs set to 10. (caps at 85 evs in every stat at level 56+, see PBS files for more info)
-The damage from spread moves in double battles is calculated separately per hit and will inflict full damage vs the last opponent if the other member(s) 
have fainted from it and making it single target. (gen 4 based doubles mechanics)
-Quick save before every battle, team member and puzzle that may result in a reset. 
-Always quick save before fights with these symbols: ! = potentially bad fight with hax, !! = potentially random fight, !!! = very random fight
-Scroll to the bottom for more infomation and statistics.

*tyrantrum may target ampharos turn 1 with rock slide, dragon claw or crunch as opposed to nidoking, this is dependent on how good (or bad) your defense stat
is, getting chipped by tyrantrum prompts sirius to target ampharos instead of nidoking so RESET until he targets nidoking instead
