Quick Attack is a physical Normal-type attack introduced in Generation I in the [[Pokémon (universe)|''Pokémon'']] games. It's a rather weak move, with a low base power similar to Tackle and [[Pound]]. Unlike these other moves, it has a +1 priority, meaning it will go before other moves unless the opponent uses a move whose priority is higher. Pikachu learns Quick Attack by leveling up and can be learned among early levels in any ''Pokémon'' game.

In the main ''Pokémon'' games, Quick Attack is commonly depicted as a single quick dash towards the foe. Pikachu's Quick Attack in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series instead has an unique trail of electrical bubbles, which also deal [[electric]] damage, despite the attack being Normal-type in the origin games. In a similar matter, [[Skull Bash]] in ''Melee'' also has an electrical property attack despite not being an Electric-type attack.

One of Pikachu's custom moves in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', Quick Feet, shares its name with an {{s|bulbapedia|ability}} in the main ''Pokémon'' series, which increases a Pokémon's speed if it is under a status ailment. However, Pikachu has no access to this ability in any of the ''Pokémon'' games.
