Quick Feet (Ability)

Quick Feet (Japanese: はやあし Quick Feet) is an ability introduced in Generation IV. Five Pokémon have this ability, all of which are in the Ground egg group.

Effect

In battle

Quick Feet increases the user's Speed stat by 50% when the user is inflicted with a status ailment. The speed drop of Paralysis does not occur.

In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness, if the Pokémon is inflicted with any negative status condition, its Movement Speed is raised by one level. As a result, the Pokémon cannot be slowed.

Outside of battle

If the Pokémon with Quick Feet is leading the party, then Quick Feet decreases the wild Pokémon encounter rate.
