Effect[]

In battle[]

Due to having a positive priority, Quick Attack will always go before moves that have neutral priority. Quick Attack does damage to the target. In a Double Battle, Quick Attack can target any Pokémon around the user. In a Triple Battle, Quick Attack can only target a Pokémon that's adjacent to the user.

In the Mystery Dungeon series, the move's range extends two steps in front of the user.

Trivia[]

  • Quick Attack is often involved in the strategy that is referred to by some as F.E.A.R.
  • When Ash's Pidgeotto first used Quick Attack, it vaguely resembled the much later introduced Brave Bird.
  • Quick Attack is the only increased priority move introduced in Generation I.
  • Of all damage-dealing moves, Quick Attack is tied with Bouncy Bubble for most variations, with eight including itself.
