Quick Claw

A Quick Claw is an item introduced in Generation II.

Effect

A Quick Claw is a held item used by a Pokémon, increasing the priority of their move by a certain percentage. As of Generation III, Quick Claw increases the priority by 20%. It is not affected by Trick Room or Stall.

Description

Prior to Generation VII, Quick Claws had a low value of 50, but since Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon, they have a significantly higher value of 2,000. Most Quick Claws are held by members of the Sandshrew family, Sneasel family, Meowth family, and Zangooses, but nearly always at a low chance of 5%.
