The hanzi for the Chinese name is also the kanji for しんそく. The hangul for the Korean name translates to swiftness, like the Japanese and Chinese names, hence "extreme speed".

* Despite its in-game descriptions | * Despite its in-game descriptions prior to [[Generation V]], ExtremeSpeed had the same [[priority]] as many other increased priority moves, and a few other moves such as {{m|Feint}} and {{m|Helping Hand}} even went before it. In Generation V, its priority was increased to +2, therefore making it faster than all other increased priority moves other than {{m|Feint}} and some [[status move]]s. | ||
* Its Japanese name, しんそく, can translate to both "god-like speed" and "swiftness", despite common misconception that it refers to the term "godspeed", an unrelated English expression that is used to wish someone good luck on a journey. As swiftness can be simply defined as "an extreme speed", the official English name is a valid and accurate translation. | |||
