I wouldn't immediately assume that for this run. As with Round 1, some Pokémon that might have seemed helpful were not and there were several of them that actually were Stalkers. The only case where it's safe to assume an NPC isn't a Stalker is if they do not appear on the suspect list because they're a background NPC or something like that. Those are the only exceptions.
