- Pokemon Sapphire any% glitchless speed run guide
- Updated May 4, 2015 (see changelog below guide)
- Compendium (trainer stats, moves, experience, money): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1n7rmyMGOR9ishlC8LuXxKtSgnwNxOUY2XScyPvFnGqo/edit#gid=0
- -----------------------------------------
- STUFF TO KNOW
- - Running near spinners and rotators causes them to face certain directions. If you try to run past a spinner or rotator, s/he will always catch you.
- - Opening the bag or Pokemon menu freezes spinners for 32 frames, assuming you do not run near them.
- - The cursors for the main menu and inventory never never reset unless you save+quit (so no point in swapping items to the top of your inventory).
- - You cannot buffer inputs in Gen 3, so it is generally best to menu immediately after an event, rather than in the middle of movement.
- - Zigzagoon has a 10% chance of picking up an item after each battle. Any time you're on the Pokemon menu, remove an item from Zig if you see one.
- - When Mudkip/Marshtomp/Swampert's HP is at 1/3 or less, its Torrent ability will trigger, which boosts the power of Water-type moves by 50%.
- -----------------------------------------

- - Walk up to Route 101

- - Choose Mudkip after looking in the bag. Select "YES" when the timer hits 2:43.00 (this will take a bit of practice, as you need to hit within 5 frames)
- - Check Mudkip's nature and stats. Reset unless you see one of these five Mudkips:
- > 12779 | Lax 4/31/23/24/25/30 ..... Lv. 5 stats: 20/13/12/11/9/10

- - Heal to 13+ HP for Rival 2
- - Rival 2: (Heal as necessary), X Attack x2, X Speed, Mud-Slap+Mud Shot, Mud Shot+Mud Shot, Water Gun
