'''Priority''' refers to the order in which Trainers' commands are followed during a battle. Under normal circumstances, the priority of a [[move]] used in a {{pkmn|battle}} is determined by the {{Stat|Speed}} statistic of the Pokémon using the move. However, a move may have a different priority value, which can cause that move to always go before or after ordinary moves.

Each move and certain actions have a hidden priority value in the game data, ranging from <tt>+8</tt> to <tt>-8</tt>. Most moves are ordinary, and have <tt>0</tt> priority. Moves that always go before ordinary priority moves have increased priority and priority values greater than zero. Examples include moves such as {{m|Quick Attack}} and {{m|ExtremeSpeed}}. Moves that always go after ordinary priority moves have decreased priority and priority values less than zero. Examples of decreased priority moves are {{m|Counter}} and {{m|Roar}}. Moves with effects that last an entire turn, such as {{m|Protect}} or {{m|Magic Coat}}, have much higher priority to ensure that the move is used at the start of the turn. | Each move and certain actions have a hidden priority value in the game data, ranging from <tt>+8</tt> to <tt>-8</tt>.
