ExtremeSpeed (Japanese: しんそく Godspeed) is a damage-dealing Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation II.
Effect
ExtremeSpeed inflicts damage, and is an increased priority move. If the target does not use an increased priority move during the round that it is used, ExtremeSpeed will go first regardless of the user's or target's speed. If the target also uses a move with an increased priority of +1 during the same round that the user uses ExtremeSpeed, the attack order of the users will be determined normally. If the user is put to sleep or frozen during the round that ExtremeSpeed is (or attempts to be) used, ExtremeSpeed's increased speed priority will not be reset. Subsequently, it will only be reset on the turn after the user wakes up or is defrosted, or if the user switches out.

Trivia
- ExtremeSpeed is tied with Sucker Punch for the increased priority move with the highest base power.
- Despite its in-game description, the move ExtremeSpeed has the same priority as moves such as Quick Attack. In fact, a handful of moves have even higher priority, such as Feint and Helping Hand, and go before even ExtremeSpeed.
