    "Catch paralyzed, weakened Rayquaza using visible map only; preserve checkpoint",
    "Grand Hall PC: put Heatran and Cresselia in party; keep Zapdos for Silva training",
    "Train 3 Silva rounds initially, plan candy to145; earn additional supplies funds as needed",
    "EV Tuner Cresselia Defense->Special Defense; teach Trick Room and Light Screen",
    "Buy Lum berries from installed map7 event1, verify access route; give Heatran and Cresselia",
    "Plan Rayquaza moves and EVs from caught owned build; Mega Dragon Ascent and Rock Slide useful versus Ho-Oh",
    "Stock balls and healing for entire two-double-battle gauntlet plus immediate wild Groudon120",
    "Save normal full team before entering; never save between forced battles"
  ],
  "round2_opening": "Heatran Flamethrower Venusaur + Cresselia Trick Room; both Lum to cover Grass Whistle. Keep Ninetales alive while eliminating Grass side; confirm damage and incoming enemies each turn.",
  "review_needed": [
    "Cresselia needs enough special bulk to survive simultaneous Ninetales+Venusaur attacks",
    "Heatran Earth Power handles Houndoom; Rayquaza physical Rock Slide handles Ho-Oh",
    "Choose Thunder Wave carrier for wild Groudon, preserve capture capacity through full chain",
    "pbPartialHeal only heals nonfainted members between rounds; no full-team sacrifices in round1"

  "funding": "Take Arcanine Amulet Coin for Zapdos; sell spare Power Anklet and Protein if needed (12400 total sale). Preserve training power set. Silva reward1444 doubled2888 plus12XL.",
  "capture": "Groudon catch rate3 (Ray45). Need capture budget and safe weakening. Ray cannot learn False Swipe; can learn Thunder Wave. Preserve Mawile for False Swipe and Cresselia for screening/recovery.",
  "capture_correction": "Primal Groudon is Ground-type and immune to Thunder Wave. Do not rely on Rayquaza paralysis for this capture. Preserve screen support, Rayquaza Mega weather control and Mawile False Swipe; buy sufficient Dusk/Timer Balls for status-free capture. Rayquaza can Mega Evolve while choosing Protect provided Dragon Ascent is known."
