Agate south entry and ordinary Ricardo fight — source proposal

Source-only, not executed. Installed19.5.43 declarations/maps take precedence over the BigJRA raid route, which explicitly recommends Vanhanen Labyrinth → Agate's south entry. Root retains ownership of actual public controls/checkpoints. No active battle data or AI predictions used.

Travel, keeping Tranquill

Current intended condition is391=51,988/989=True. Keep the conscious Fly carrier until after Ricardo. The normal Vanhanen Labyrinth/Vanhanen Castle Fly point is 292[16,16], region0 cursor[12,9].

Reviewed ordinary queue (existing helpers; root executes only after public guards):

Static route proof: work/agate-south-travel-proposal.json, full installed map extracts work/agate-south-travel-static.json. The chosen boundary geometry is292[33,0]UP→291[47,49],291[48,0]UP→297[24,22],297E1[25,12]→298[8,13],298E8p2/988True[8,1]→763[36,85]. Reviewed walking totals121+54+10+11 keys. Maze292 only touches E27/E3 (switch96 off; E3 may run ordinary dismount common32); no dialogue or battle. Route291 remainsx46–48, outside active trainer26[37,19]DOWN6. Ordinary Repel can cover grass; an unexpected wild battle/dialogue ends the current walking batch and must be resolved before resume.

Both alternatives are blocked before any trainer at39151: Fly763[46,70] is an allied NPC enclosure; Circus west arrival763[13,54] is enclosed by BishopE41[22,72]/AllyssaE42[22,73], the only passable eastern boundary openings. Their dialogue lists are empty; their blank pages require391>=52. Therefore no optional Christopher fight is necessary for this southern route.

Ricardo approach and story guard

From south763[36,85], the reviewed26-key prefix to[32,63] is:

left up up up left up up up up left up up up left up up up up up up up up up up up up

Proof work/ricardo-safe-route-36.json. Stop there to prepare lead, HP and weather. One UP reaches[32,62], normal stage52 setterE84 and RicardoE48's left-facing Trainer(3) sightline. This is an ordinary street fight, not the two-battle Agate chain. Do not blindly queue further keys. On public victory, Ricardo selfA=True; verify39152 outside battle. At52 the allied barricades disappear; normal Agate PC752 can now exchange Tranquill for Cryogonal/borrow Sash, arrange/heal the fixed final six. Do not cross763x43–48,y52 until whole-chain preparation and archive entry are ready (that commits39153 and the warmup→Solaris chain).

Ricardo actual team and weather

Installed trainertext10312: Ricardo/MeteorAceM1; defaults Hardy,10IV/85EV each, no held items or trainer medicines. NoField; map763 Outdoor/MapPosition[0,13,6] selects Carnelia weather region4. Game_Screen.rb318/349 chooses regional weather on outdoor entry; leaving a PC does not force clear weather. Field.rb1122 maps outdoor Snow/Blizzard to permanent Hail. Swamp hail chip18; Cofa chip15. Use the fresh outside-battle checkpoint weather export plus public fight weather before selecting the plan.

Battler.rb1489/2355 makes full-HP Minior Meteor7 on activation; its declared YellowCore5 is restored at<=halfHP (coreSpeed238). Battle.rb6127 requires turncount>0 for SpeedBoost, so a fresh Scolipede/Blaziken replacement has no entry boost.

Clear/rain/sand: lead full295HP Swamp/WaveIncense. Use selfXSpeed, then selfXAttack, inspect public stages, then Waterfall all five while staying active. Speed290 beats initial Scoli226/Blaz173. At actual Attack>=+2, Waterfall floors277/487/266/286/638 against the five HP totals. Two maximum rainy Surf crits144 each leave7HP; clear PlayRough crit133 twice leaves29. Ground typing prevents sand chip. Any public Attackfell changes this proof: heal/restore Attack>=+2 before attack, without inferring hidden enemy intentions. One-XAttack-only is not recommended: later faster Scoli/Blaziken crits can overwhelm the remaining HP. Do not use this same damage plan in sun (water weakened) or hail (setup chip can kill).

Hail/sun: take PowerLens off Cofa normally before entering Ricardo; otherwise its battleSpeed is halved. Require the completed normal Timid build252HP/333Def/210SpA/218SpD/68Spe and Hex present. Use three selfXSPECIAL and three selfXSPEED, with public HP guards between every action. At+6/+6, SpA840/Speed272. Slurp has no damaging status move; PlayRough Attack drops do not affect this special plan. Wish and StickyWeb do not prevent a sweep while Cofa stays active. Hail worst Slurp crit PlayRough77 +15chip=92: >=93HP before every setup item; Ultra200 safely restores enough even from1HP. Sun has no chip; conservative same93 guard is fine. Before first Hex, >=76HP covers five hail ticks75. Unstatus Hex floors333/263/351/388/343, guaranteeing every foe's KO before it acts. Do not switch or waste turns after starting this sweep. Rain Cofa fallback uses>=123HP because rainy Surf crit122; prefer the short Swamp plan there. Sand raises rock SpD, so the stated Cofa Minior KO does not apply; use Swamp.

Heal/reset party normally after this ordinary victory, take the required Agate PC exchange, then freeze the real final six/stock before opening the curated Solaris126 shared-chain attempt.
