[shamorunner]

Courtesy of @Panotxa. He developed the route based off of ease of access to be able to keep moving quickly and not be dependant on using repels and running the remaining repel steps out. The following is @Panotxa 's guide, of which I am grateful the work done in developing this guide and entrusting me with the publication of said guide. Phenominal Job on the part of @Panotxa (who is also looking for a shiny absol)
