Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Speedrunning FAQ Q. How are you streaming this game? A. I'm using a 3DS capture card from 3dsvideocapture.com Q. What are you trying to do? A. This is a speedrun, so I'm trying to beat the game as fast as possible. Q. Why do you pick Mudkip? A. Mudkip is by far the best Pokémon to use for the speedrun, it has a type advantage against 3 of the first 4 gyms, and has access to a great movepool including Echoed Voice and Bulldoze. Q. Why do you keep resetting at the first fight? A. I reset because my stats are not good enough to complete the run fast, I need my Mudkip to have at least 13 Attack, 10 Special Attack, and 9 Speed. Q. Will you use Mudkip for the whole Speedrun? A. No I switch to the level 30 Latias you receive after defeating Norman, and then to Kyogre before Wallace. Q. Why Alpha Sapphire over Omega Ruby? A. Kyogre beats the later fights a lot faster than Groudon because of its access to STAB Surf allowing me to skip the use of the Primal Evolution, which wastes a lot of time. Q. Do you need any HM Slaves? A. No the Pokemon I receive during the run learn all the HM's I need. Q. What is your PB? A. 3:10 in Omega Ruby with old strats.
