    I was looking at the Pokémon at routes and there are some routes that only have duplicates so I think the grand underground should be used if routes have only duplicates available

    so for example you are guaranteed to catch bidoof Starly and shinx if you start the game in the middle of the day so in that case you would get the shinx and I would get something else later?

    I feel like if you can catch only Pokémon neither player has to avoid a lot of duplicate encounters

    I think that’s fair

    so then if I catch a Starly you wouldn’t be able to get one throughout the run?

    lake verity has the same encounters as 201 so would we both just have a placeholder until the underground?

    Also on 202 the encounters are shinx and kricketot which is only available at night or in the morning

    I have a flexible schedule so would it be better for me to catch it?
