In the core series games
Price
Effect
Generation II
Quick Claw gives the holder a ~23% (60/256) chance of going first in its priority bracket. If a Quick Claw is gained, lost, or suppressed, then it will not affect turn order until the beginning of the next turn.
Generation III onward
The chances of Quick Claw activating are decreased to 20%. Quick Claw ignores the effects of Trick Room and Stall when activated.
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
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
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 Emerald borrowed from Crystal for his battle against Tucker in A Cheeky Charizard Change-Up I, allowing it to outspeed Tucker's Charizard and hit it with a super-effective Rock Tomb. This wasn't enough to knock out the Flame Pokémon, however, and Charizard was able to defeat Metagross with Overheat.
