Doesn't ExtremeSpeed have a higher priority than Quick Attack and the like? --Alex S. 13:05, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
- No. I think all Quick Attack moves (like Mach Punch) have the same priority, including ExtremeSpeed.--Blazevoir!! 13:21, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
- No, ExtremeSpeed is the fastest out of all Quick Attacks. Θρtιmαtum♏Talk|Links
- It's faster than the Quick Attacks, but Serebii put them all on the same priority on their Speed priority page.--Kkllnn blastoise 13:26, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
- Does anyone have proof that it's faster?--Blazevoir!! 13:29, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
- It was always faster for me, when battling my rival's Floatzel, which was faster than my Lucario, Lucario's ExtremeSpeed broke through Floatzel's Aqua Jet.--Kkllnn blastoise 13:36, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
- I meant could someone put it on YouTube? If I see it with my own eyes, I'll believe it.--Blazevoir!! 13:40, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Priority
ExtremeSpeed does not have higher priority than other moves such as Quick Attack. They have the same priority. I tested this in a double battle with a Lucario with ExtremeSpeed and 118 speed and a Breloom with Mach Punch and 161 speed. The Breloom went first. Serebii and other sources are correct when they state that ExtremeSpeed has the same priority, +1, as other increased priority attacks. — Laoris (Blah) 20:35, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
That picture...
Togekiss learns Extremespeed at level 1, you can't have one at Level 1, and it is not found in the wild. KirbyRider 22:23, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Japanese name
Are we seriously arguing that the English localization can not be taken as accurate and as base for the translation of the Japanese name? This wiki suffers from various bad translations already. "Swiftness" and "Extreme Speed" mean exactly the same. Let's look at the standard most respected dictionaries of the English and Japanese languages for definitions on swiftness and 神速, shall we?
- Oxford Dictionaries' definition of "swift" (link)
- sth happening quickly or promptly;
- sth/sb moving or capable of moving at high speed
- Nihongo Kokugo Daijiten's definition of 神速 shinsoku (god-like speed/godly speed; swiftness)
- 神わざかと思われるほど速いこと。 Shinwaza ka toomowareru hodo hayai koto. ("A hasty feat that could be deemed godly.")
- 非常に速いさま。 Hijōni hayai sama. ("An extreme speed.")
NOTE: わざ waza does not refer to 技/伎 (technique; art; skill) as in a Pokémon's move but instead to 業 (deed; act; performance). 神わざ/神業 is even a compound meaning "divine feat."
Extreme Speed is a perfectly accurate translation regardless of it being the same as the English name or not. And if the English name is already correct, it's nonsensical to use a synonym just because it is deemed to be "more valid" or something when it isn't. SatoMew 13:31, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
