Effect

	This move effect may be in need of research. Reason: Whether Swift can miss in Pokémon Stadium You can discuss this on the talk page.

Generation I

In the Western versions of the Generation I handheld games, Swift inflicts damage and bypasses accuracy checks to always hit. It can hit a Pokémon even during the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Dig or Fly.

In the Japanese versions of the Generation I handheld games, Swift functions as a 100% accuracy move due to a glitch, unless the opponent is behind a substitute; if it is, Swift can never miss, even if the target is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Dig or Fly.

In Pokémon Stadium, Swift cannot hit a Pokémon in its semi-invulnerable turn.

Generation II onward

Swift now bypasses accuracy checks to always hit, unless the target is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Dig or Fly.

Swift hits opposing adjacent Pokémon in battles featuring multiple Pokémon.

Trivia

Prior to Generation VI, Swift was the only move that cannot miss that hits both opponents during a Double Battle. Starting in Generation VI, Disarming Voice also meets these conditions.
All Fire-type starter Pokémon and their evolutions can learn Swift via Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver Move Tutors.
In The Electric Tale of Pikachu, Ash's Pikachu's Swift is referred to as Speed Star, a literal translation of its Japanese name.
