Trivia

Extreme Speed's in-game descriptions erroneously state that it goes before any other move. This trait is shared with Baby-Doll Eyes, Bullet Punch, Ice Shard, Mach Punch, Quick Attack, Shadow Sneak, Vacuum Wave, and Water Shuriken.
Although it is a Normal-type move, only one Normal-type Pokémon can learn this move by leveling up.
