X Speed (along with X Attack and X Defense) appears in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U as equipment that any of the five playable Pokémon can use. X Speed raises the holder's Speed while lowering Attack. While it will occasionally come with a special effect, the ones without effects come in three rarities: normal, Threefold, and Sixfold.

Pokémon Rumble World

After rescuing a distressed Mii in an area, they will occasionally use X Speeds (along with X Attacks, X Defenses, or Potions). What they give out is chosen randomly upon being rescued. The X Speed boosts the Speed stat for some time.
