'''Priority''' is a hierarchical bracket of moves that dictates which Pokémon will strike first in battle.

==Parametrical overview==
While the comparative Speed stats of Pokémon will usually determine who strikes first in battle, the priority bracket of a Pokémon supersedes it. If a move is subsumed under a higher priority bracket, the user will outspeed the opponent no matter how inferior its Speed is compared to theirs; conversely, Pokémon deploying moves of lower priority brackets will be premoved by their opponent no matter how faster their Speed is. If both Pokémon are deploying a move of the same priority bracket, it the first strike will sheerly boil down to which Pokémon has greater Speed stats or another tie-breaker if applicable.

Priority-bracket values range from +5 to -7. Most moves are lumped in the priority bracket of 0; as such, moves that have any priority-bracket value higher or lower than that are referred to as priority moves. Positive priority brackets are referred to as [[:Category:Increased-priority moves|increased-priority moves]], whereas negative ones are known as [[:Category:Decreased-priority moves|decreased-priority moves]].

Increased-priority moves can be nullified by the deployment of the [[Quick Guard]] move.

The priority hierarchy can still be affected by priority-inhibiting items; for example, a [[Lagging Tail]] will ensure that the holder cedes the first attack to the opponent regardless of their Speed and the priority bracket of the move used.
