On Smogon's Movedex:
- Generation IX

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

Effect

Generation I

Quick Attack does damage, and is an increased priority move. If the opponent does not use an increased priority move during the round that it is used, Quick Attack will go first regardless of the user's or opponent's speed. If the opponent also uses an increased priority move during the same round that the user uses Quick Attack, the attack order of the users will be determined normally. If the user is put to sleep or frozen during the round that Quick Attack is (or attempts to be) used, Quick Attack's increased speed priority will not be reset. Subsequently, it will only be reset on the turn after the user wakes up or is defrosted, or if the user switches out.
