ExtremeSpeed (Japanese: しんそく God-like Speed) is a damage-dealing Normal-type move introduced in Generation II, in which it was the signature move of Arcanine. It is essentially a stronger version of Quick Attack.

Effect

Generation II to IV

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 is attempted 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.

Generation V

ExtremeSpeed now has +2 priority.

Trivia

  • ExtremeSpeed is tied with Sucker Punch for the increased priority move with the highest base power.
  • Despite its in-game descriptions, in Generations II through IV, ExtremeSpeed had the same priority as many other increased priority moves, and a few other moves such as Feint and Helping Hand even went before it. As of Generation V, however, its +2 priority makes it faster than all other increased priority moves other than Feint and some non-damage-dealing moves.
