Effect

Generation II

Quick Claw gives the holder a ~23% (60/256) chance of going first in its priority bracket.

Generation III onward

Quick Claw gives the holder a 20% chance of going first in its priority bracket (regardless of Trick Room and Stall). If a Quick Claw is gained, lost, or suppressed, then it will not affect turn order until the beginning of the next turn.

From Generation IV onward, Quick Claw plays an animation at the start of the turn if it is activated. From Generation V onward, the Quick Claw activation message will be displayed before a player flees or forfeits.

In the manga

Pokémon Adventures

Emerald arc

In Interesting Interactions Involving Illumise, a Quick Claw was listed as the held item of a rental Skarmory that Emerald used at the Battle Factory.

A Quick Claw was held by the Metagross that Emerald borrowed from Crystal for his battle against Tucker in A Cheeky Charizard Change-Up I, allowing it to outspeed Tucker's Charizard and trap it in a doubly super-effective Rock Tomb. This proved to be not enough to knock the Flame Pokémon out, however, and Charizard was able to defeat Metagross with Overheat.
