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.
