In the ''Pokémon'' games, Extreme Speed was introduced in Generation II as a more powerful version of [[Quick Attack]]; in that generation, it was the signature move of {{pkmn|Arcanine}}. It is a physical Normal-type attack with 80 base power, 100% accuracy, and a +1 priority in Generation II-IV and a +2 priority in Generation V and onwards, meaning it will usually go first if there is no other higher priority attack being used as well, regardless of the user's {{s|bulbapedia|speed}}. In return for being exceptionally fast and powerful, this attack only has 5 base PP (can be upgraded to 8 max) so Extreme Speed can only be used 5 times unless PP restoring items are used.

Lucario can learn Extreme Speed by leveling up, and is one of the very few non-legendary Pokémon able to learn the move by any means.

Rayquaza can also learn the attack naturally by leveling up, and is instead one of the Dragon-type Legendary Pokémon along with Zygarde as of Generation VI to learn it like so.

In Generations II-V, the move's name was formatted "ExtremeSpeed" due to a 12 character limit, and this spelling is also used for ''Brawl''. Since the Generation VI ''Pokémon'' games reformatted the move's English name as "Extreme Speed" due to increasing the character limit, the move's name was similarly changed for ''SSB4''. Despite this, the official Miiverse posts pre-release continued to refer to "ExtremeSpeed" without a space.

The Japanese name of the move is derived by the term "Shinsoku" (神速), a Japanese term meaning "godspeed".
