How did Talonflame outspeed Lucario when I picked Quick Attack?

Question

When he/she picked Brave Bird and Lucario picked Quick Attack It had Talonflame going first instead of Lucario. It looked like a glitch to me.

Answer 1

It's because the Talonflame had the ability gale wings in which makes flying type moves have +1 priority, and the Talonflame probably had a higher speed so brave bird went first. Hope I helped!

Gale Wings isnt just a +1 priority, it makes your Flying mves always go first

That is incorrect Terlor, Gale Wings simply gives flying moves a +1 Priority, things like Protect and Extremespeed can still go before it.

how come Quick Attack didnt go first? look at Quick Attacks entry.

---

Quick Attack and Gale Wings Brave Bird both receive a +1 priority. The speed stat of the two pokemon would then come into effect and since Talonflame outspeeds Lucario Brave Bird would go first.

Thanks mr k

much appreciated.

Answer 2

does your Talonflame have Gale Wings? if so it gets a +1 priority on Flying moves (Brave Bird) and so it would outspeed almost anything
