Quick Attack (Japanese: でんこうせっか Lightning Speed) is a damage-dealing Normal-type move introduced in Generation I.

Effect

Generation I

Quick Attack inflicts damage. It has a priority of +1, so it is used before all moves that do not have increased priority.

If the user is put to sleep or frozen during the turn that Quick Attack is (or attempts to be) used, its increased priority will not be reset during the sleep or freeze. Subsequently, it can only be reset on the turn after the user wakes up or is defrosted, or if the user switches out.

Generation II onward

Quick Attack's increased priority will no longer carry over to sleeping or frozen Pokémon; instead, the priority at which a sleeping or frozen Pokémon acts depends on the move it selects each turn.

Quick Attack can be used as part of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining extra three appeal points if the move Double Team was used in the prior turn.
