This guide uses fairly aggressive Carbos strategies. If not going for a top leaderboard time it is suggested to use one of the safer strats involving extra candies instead of X Speed Sabrina strats. See this pastebin explanation and the complete speed chart for more information.
- Moves: HA = Horn Attack, BB = Bubblebeam, WG = Water Gun, TB = Thunderbolt, PS = Poison Sting, HD = Horn Drill, IB = Ice Beam, RS = Rock Slide
- (+ MOVE): A situational move used to finish off a pokemon when a damage range is missed
- Livesplits has an autosplitter built in for Pokemon Red
- Activate within “edit splits” and then go into settings to set your preferences for where you want to split
- Hard Resetting during a Classic speedrun is not allowed
- If you ever take a safety save into a death during the run, then you can only soft reset using A + B + Start + Select held at once
- Hard Resetting the console means that RNG Manipulation is technically possible and this is banned from Classic
- Clear any existing save file by pressing Up + B + Select on the game title screen
- Hard Reset (set palette with Up + B - optional to give full visibility in Rock Tunnel), hard resetting is required before each attempt on emulator
- Set your options to fast text and animations OFF
