Each move has a hidden priority value in the game data, with values ranging from <tt>+5</tt> to <tt>-7</tt>. The vast majority of moves have the standard priority value of <tt>0</tt>. A move with a positive priority is a '''priority move''' (Japanese: '''先制攻撃''' ''preemptive attack'')<!--Refer to Quick Guard-->. Moves with a positive priority may also be referred to as having an increased priority<ref>[http://www.pokemon.com/us/strategy/perfecting-your-pokemon-party-in-2016/ Perfecting Your Pokémon Party in 2016! | Pokemon.com]</ref> and moves with a negative priority a decreased priority. In the fandom, moves that have the same priority are said to be in the same priority bracket.
Starting in [[Generation III]], each move has a hidden priority value in the game data, with values ranging from <tt>+5</tt> to <tt>-7</tt>. The vast majority of moves have the standard priority value of <tt>0</tt>. A move with a positive priority is a '''priority move''' (Japanese: '''先制攻撃''' ''preemptive attack'')<!--Refer to Quick Guard-->. Moves with a positive priority may also be referred to as having an increased priority<ref>[http://www.pokemon.com/us/strategy/perfecting-your-pokemon-party-in-2016/ Perfecting Your Pokémon Party in 2016! | Pokemon.com]</ref> and moves with a negative priority a decreased priority. In the fandom, moves that have the same priority are said to be in the same priority bracket.


Pokémon with the [[Ability]] {{a|Gale Wings}} have the priority of their {{type|Flying}} moves increased by 1 (though this only applies if the user has full HP starting in [[Generation VII]]). Similarly, Pokémon with {{a|Prankster}} have the priority of their [[status move]]s increased by 1. Pokémon with {{a|Triage}} have the priority of most of their HP-restoring moves increased by 3. {{m|Grassy Glide}} has increased priority only if used on {{m|Grassy Terrain}}.
[[#Abilities that increase priority|Some Abilities]] increase the priority of certain moves. [[#Effects that block priority moves|Some moves and Abilities]] can prevent priority moves from being used; {{type|Dark}} Pokémon are also immune to {{a|Prankster}}-promoted priority moves.


Moves with increased priority can be blocked if a Pokémon is protected by {{m|Quick Guard}}, if it or one of its allies has {{a|Queenly Majesty}} or {{a|Dazzling}} as its Ability, or if it is [[Grounded|on the ground]] while {{m|Psychic Terrain}} is in effect. In [[Generation V]], however, Quick Guard does not block moves that gain an increased priority from Prankster. Since Generation VII, {{type|Dark}} Pokémon are also protected from moves from foes if they gained priority from Prankster.
Move priority is not affected by {{m|Trick Room}}, which only reverses the Speed-resolved order of moves within a priority bracket; moves with higher priority are still performed before ones with lower priority. [[#Effects that dictate precedence within a priority bracket|Some held items and Abilities]] also affect a move's resolution within its priority bracket (ignoring Trick Room), but not the priority itself.
 
Move priority is not affected by {{m|Trick Room}}, which only reverses the Speed-resolved order of moves within a priority bracket; moves with higher priority are still performed before ones with lower priority. Some [[held item]]s and {{Abilities}} also affect a move's resolution within its priority bracket (ignoring Trick Room), but not the priority itself. The items [[Full Incense]] and [[Lagging Tail]] and the Ability {{a|Stall}} cause the affected Pokémon to go last in its priority bracket, while the items [[Quick Claw]] and [[Custap Berry]] and the Ability {{a|Quick Draw}} may cause the affected Pokémon to go first in its priority bracket.


===Special priority===
Certain events will always occur before any moves (besides {{m|Pursuit}}) can be performed. The messages for the activation of [[Quick Claw]], [[Custap Berry]], and [[O-Power]]s are always shown before anything else. [[Recall|Switching out]], [[Rotation Battle|rotating]], using [[item]]s, [[Escape|escaping]], and the charging messages for {{m|Focus Punch}}, {{m|Beak Blast}}, and {{m|Shell Trap}} are displayed or performed next. In [[Generation I]] only, NPC Trainers do not have priority when using items or switching, while in battles against other players, switching can be performed even if the other player hasn't made their move yet. In [[Generation II]], a [[wild Pokémon]] fleeing does not have its own priority and will instead use the priority of the move the Pokémon would have used had it chosen not to flee. In Generations II and [[Generation III|III]], players always switch <!---and use items? !---> before NPCs do. In Generation III<!--- and II? !--->, if two players switch in the same turn, then 'player 1' will always switch before 'player 2' does. [[Mega Evolution]] and [[Dynamax]]ing generally occur at the beginning of a turn but after any switching has occurred; however, if a Pokémon is Mega Evolving or rotating in and then using {{m|Pursuit}} on a Pokémon that is switching out, the Mega Evolution or rotation always happens before the Pokémon uses Pursuit (and therefore before the other Pokémon's switch).

{{m|Pursuit}} is a special exception to the general rules of priority, due to its effect. [[Recall|Switching]] fundamentally happens before any moves can be performed, but when Pursuit is targeting a Pokémon that switches out, it will hit the Pokémon before it can switch, meaning that it will go before any other move, no matter its priority. If multiple Pursuits are targeting the same Pokémon and the Pokémon switches out, if the Pokémon [[fainting|faints]] before all of the Pursuits have executed, the remaining Pursuits will execute at their normal priority.

Additionally, [[#Effects that can break priority|a few moves and Abilities]] can cause a Pokémon to act outside of its normal priority.
===Abilities that increase priority===
These Abilities increase the priority of certain moves used by a Pokémon that has one of these Abilities.

{{an|Brock}} touched on the subject in ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'' while watching the [[Contest Battle]] between {{an|Dawn}} and [[Zoey]] in the final round of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]], during which [[Zoey's Glameow]] used {{m|Fake Out}} and caused [[Dawn's Piplup]] to {{status|flinch}}, making him unable to use {{m|Hydro Pump}}.
The concept of priority moves was first mentioned out loud in ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'', where {{an|Brock}} commented on the subject while watching the [[Contest Battle]] between {{an|Dawn}} and [[Zoey]] in the final round of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]], during which [[Zoey's Glameow]] used {{m|Fake Out}} and caused [[Dawn's Piplup]] to [[flinch]], making him unable to use {{m|Hydro Pump}}.
 
In ''[[XY093|All Eyes on the Future!]]'', {{an|Professor Sycamore}} explained how [[Olympia]]'s male {{p|Meowstic}}'s {{a|Prankster}} [[Ability]] allows his support moves like {{m|Light Screen}} to always go first.
 
Priority was demonstrated a couple of times during the [[Masters Eight Tournament]]. In ''[[JN116|Pride of a Champion!]]'', [[Diantha]]'s {{p|Gourgeist}} outsped [[Lance's Gyarados]]'s {{m|Dragon Pulse}} with {{m|Shadow Sneak}}; in ''[[JN118|Battling as Hard as Stone!]]'', [[Ash's Pikachu]]'s Quick Attack went ahead of {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}'s {{p|Cradily}}'s {{m|Rock Blast}}; and in ''[[JN123|Bewitch, Battle, and Bewilder!]]'', {{an|Cynthia}} used her {{p|Spiritomb}}'s {{m|Sucker Punch}} to land hits on {{cat|Ash's Pokémon}} before they could attack.

* Since {{m|Focus Punch}} has a higher priority than {{m|Avalanche}}, {{m|Revenge}}, {{m|Dragon Tail}}, {{m|Circle Throw}}, and {{m|Counter}}, they are unable to break the focus of a Pokémon using Focus Punch.

* Since charging Focus Punch had a higher priority than switching in Generation III, in a [[Double Battle]], if the player selected Focus Punch then cancelled the selection, then switched that Pokémon out, it would still begin charging Focus Punch before switching. Its high priority also gave it the odd effect of occurring before the opponent used their items or Pokémon were switched out.
