  1. Pokemon Ultra Moon Speedrunning FAQ
  2.  
  3. Q: What are you playing on?
  4. A: Both a Modified Nintendo 2DS XL and an original 3DS with a capture card built into it.
  5.  
  6. Q: What are you trying to do?
  7. A: Beat Pokemon Ultra Moon as fast as Possible
  8.  
  9. Q: Which version is fastest?
  10. A: No idea.
  11.  
  12. Q: Why Ultra Moon instead of Sun?
  13. A: The Normal and boss gauntlet after the fairy trial are easier with Hawlucha, as well as the fights against Poipole being easier since X Special Defense is used instead of X Defense.
  14.  
  15. Q: How do you you deal with Necrozma? Doesn't Hawlucha get one shot?
  16. A: https://clips.twitch.tv/RoundBetterGullPastaThat
  17.  
  18. Q: Why is the time set to 9 AM?
  19. A: To avoid hail before the Pokemon League, otherwise nothing of significance is set on time.
  20.  
  21. Q: Who is the fastest Pokemon for the speedrun?
  22. A: Hawlucha is most likely the fastest between him and the Primerina Route.
  23.  
  24. Q: Why are the stats at the top of the screen always 31 Attack and Brave Nature?
  25. A: Those are Hawlucha stats. They are always guaranteed to be Brave and 31 IV Attack.
  26.  
  27. Q: Wait, why did you skip Flynium-Z?
  28. A: After some extensive timing, I have found Flynium-Z to be about 36 seconds slower thus far. More testing will be done soon but it's looking to be a bit faster go to Z Less!
  29.  
  30. Q: Why do you catch certain Pokemon?
  31. A: Popplio is for Baby Doll Eyes, Zorua is to cheese the Necrozma fight, Spearow is to trade for Hawlucha, Hawlucha is the main Pokemon used for every fight.
  32.  
  33. Q: what did you use for iv stat calculations?
  34. A: It's an IV calculator made by Wartab, go here to download it! http://vincent.lycoops.be/iv-calculator.html
  35.  
  36. Q: Which route will you be using?
  37. A: I will be using the Hawlucha solo route for this speedrun.
  38.  
  39. Q: Wait...what about Necrozma for the Elite Four?
  40. A: Not anymore! Catching Necrozma, being forced to watch a cutscene, AND having to teach two moves just for the Elite Four is pretty slow compared to what Hawlucha can pull off. Just a lot riskier.
  41.  
  42. Q: Why do you equip Oran Berry sometimes, is the heal that useful?
  43. A: I don't really use the Oran Berry for healing, it's more so for Hawlucha's ability Unburden. This raises his speed
  44.  
  45. Q: What is the current World Record?
  46. A: Type !wr in chat
  47.  
  48. Q: Why are categories seperated by console?
  49. A: There's a ton of lag and frame rate loss on the original 3DS making the New 3DS a lot faster. So in order to make it fare the leaderboards have been seperated by console.
  50.  
  51. Q: Why are you resetting?
  52. A: I probably died or made a mistake.
  53.  
  54. Q: What stats are you looking for?
  55. A: I'm not looking for any stats at all, just a decent start.
  56.  
  57. Q: Where is FireRed?
  58. A: Back in the lab where I don't wanna be.
