Quick Feet (Japanese: はやあし Quick Feet) is an Ability introduced in Generation IV.

Effect

In battle

While a Pokémon with this Ability has a status condition, its Speed is increased by 50%. Additionally, a Pokémon with this Ability does not lose Speed due to paralysis.

Outside of battle

If a Pokémon with Quick Feet is in the first place in the party (even if fainted), the chance of encountering a wild Pokémon is decreased by 50%. It shares this effect with Stench, White Smoke and Infiltrator (since Generation VIII).

Generation VIII

In Pokémon Sword and Shield only, this Ability instead decreases the chance of hidden encounters by 87.5%.

Generation IX

In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet this Ability has no effect outside of battle.
