Quick-Feet
Summary
Quick Feet is an ability in the Pokémon series that enhances a Pokémon's performance under specific conditions. The primary effect of Quick Feet is that it increases the Pokémon's Speed stat by 50% when it is affected by a major status condition, such as being burned, poisoned, paralyzed, or frozen. Notably, even though paralysis typically reduces Speed, a Pokémon with Quick Feet will still receive the Speed boost and nullify the Speed penalty associated with paralysis. Also important is the fact that the Sleep condition does not trigger Quick Feet.
Another interesting aspect of Quick Feet is how it interacts with certain held items and strategies. For example, pairing a Toxic Orb or Flame Orb with a Pokémon that has Quick Feet can be beneficial. These items induce poison or burn status, respectively, ensuring that the Speed boost from Quick Feet is activated at the start of battle.
Quick Feet is commonly found on certain species of Pokémon known for their agility and swift movements. Examples include Pokémon like Ursaring, Mightyena
