Extreme Speed (Japanese:しんそくSwiftness), formatted asExtremeSpeed prior toPokémon X and Y, is a damage-dealingNormal-typemove introduced inGeneration II. Prior toPokémon Crystal Version, it was thesignature move ofArcanine.

Effect

Generation II to IV

ExtremeSpeed inflicts damage. It has apriority of +1, so is used before all moves that do not have increased priority.

Generation V onwards

Extreme Speed now has +2 priority.

Generation IX

Pokémon Legends: Z-A

Like all other moves that previously possessed priority, Extreme Speed causes the user to dash forward to make damaging contact with the target (although terrain may interfere with doing so). During the dash, the user is intangible and will ignore projectiles andentry hazards that they pass through.

Pokémon UNITE

In Pokémon UNITE, Extreme Speed isDragonite's andLucario's first move.

Dragonite can obtain the move by evolving intoDragonair at level 5 and upgradingTwister into it instead ofDragon Dance. The user dashes toward the designated enemy, damaging and slowing all enemies in a small radius around the target upon impact, throwing the primary target and shoving others away. Using this move resets the cooldown of Multiscale. At level 11, this move also negates any movement speed decrease the user may have before the move is used.

Lucario can obtain the move by reaching level 5 and upgradingQuick Attack into it instead ofPower-Up Punch. The user dashes forward, damaging all enemies hit and healing the user for each enemy hit. The first enemy hit will reset the cooldown of Extreme Speed. This effect cannot occur on the same target more than once every 10 seconds. Attacking immediately after the dash will perform a unique attack in an area dealing 75% Atk and can critically hit. At level 11, the move increases the user's Attack by 15% for a short period of time after use.
