In the [[Pokémon (universe)|''Pokémon'' games]], ExtremeSpeed was introduced in Generation II as a more powerful version of [[Quick Attack]].

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, meaning it will usually go first if there is no other higher priority attack being used as well, regardless of the user's Speed. In return for being exceptionally fast, this attack only has 5 PP (Can have 8 PP maximum), so ExtremeSpeed can only be used 5 times before running out of power. | In the [[Pokémon (universe)|''Pokémon'' games]], ExtremeSpeed was introduced in Generation II as a more powerful version of [[Quick Attack]].

ExtremeSpeed (しんそく Shinsoku Godspeed) is Lucario's up special move. When used, Lucario stops for a brief moment, and then it rushes in the direction chosen. It is possible to change directions during the dash (where Lucario will appear to "bend" through the air), as well as being able to wall cling if it comes in contact with a wall, making it a very useful recovery move. However, ExtremeSpeed deals no damage, and as such, should only be used for either escaping attacks or recovery. Lucario has low knockback while using this move, and it has a large sweet spot, making ledge-grabbing easier. This enables Lucario to have a very good recovery move. Lucario's recovery is greater if there is a wall to cling to.
Origin
In the Pokémon games, ExtremeSpeed was introduced in Generation II as a more powerful version of Quick Attack. Prior to Generation III, it was the signature move of Arcanine. It is only learned by certain legendary Pokémon and by Lucario, Togekiss, Arcanine, Dratini, and a special event Zigzagoon. It cannot be learned via TM. 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, meaning it will usually go first if there is no other higher priority attack being used as well, regardless of the user's Speed. In return for being exceptionally fast, this attack only has 5 PP (Can have 8 PP maximum), so ExtremeSpeed can only be used 5 times before running out of power. Lucario naturally learns this move at Level 51 in Generation IV, and Level 65 in Generation V. Rayquaza, who has this move in the Smash Bros. series, learns this move naturally at Level 60 in Generation III to Generation IV (Diamond, Pearl and Platinum), and Level 75 from Heart Gold and Soul Silver onwards.
ExtremeHogging
ExtremeHogging is the use of ExtremeSpeed to quickly grab the edge to edge-guard a player attempting to grab it. If the player uses the move, but holds down as the direction, Lucario zooms across the floor to the right. By going over the lip of the ledge, still holding down, Lucario will almost instantly grab the ledge. If the player wants to go left, it's a little harder, since left-and-down must pressed diagonally.
Use by other Pokémon
- Rayquaza - Rayquaza may randomly use this move during the boss fight against it. Rayquaza will rush off of the screen, then breeze forward in one direction, dealing damage and knockback, also generating wind. On lower levels of HP, Rayquaza will perform this move 3 times in a row. Rayquaza uses this in similar fashion to how it would in Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire.
Trivia
- If tap jump is disabled and the player performs ExtremeSpeed ending on the ground, Lucario will be unable to perform it again until it jumps.
- In Slow Brawl, it is possible to double bend to avoid airborne opponents by bending left, then up, then right, or vice versa.
