This article is about the move Agility. For the field move, see Field Move (Ranger).

Agility (Japanese: こうそくいどう High-speed Movement) is a non-damaging Psychic-type move introduced in Generation I. It was TR12 in Generation VIII, and is TM004 in Generation IX.

Effect

Agility increases the user's Speed by two stages.

Agility can be used as the second move of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining 3 bonus appeal points if Double Team was used in the previous turn. It is also part of a Contest Spectacular combination and using it will cause Baton Pass and Electro Ball to give extra three appeal points if used in the next turn.

If powered up by a Psychium Z into Z-Agility, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.

In other games

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series

Agility boosts the Travel Speed of the user and teammates in the same room by one stage.

Super Smash Bros. series

In Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Agility is Pichu's up special. It is similar to Pikachu's Quick Attack in that it is a fast dash that can be done in two different directions, but unlike Quick Attack, it does not deal damage to the opponent, rather, it damages Pichu. Pichu cannot legitimately learn Agility in the main games.

Pokémon Rumble Rush

In Pokémon Rumble Rush, all status moves including Agility could only be used by opposing Pokémon and could not be obtained on any caught Pokémon. Agility could be seen as a move used by Boss Zebstrika.

Pokémon UNITE

In Pokémon UNITE, Agility is one of Zeraora's two starting moves, as well as one of Mew and Dodrio's possible second moves. Zeraora can learn it either at level 1 or 3 (depending if Slash is learned first), Mew obtains it by reaching level 3 and choosing it over Coaching and Light Screen, and Dodrio learns it by reaching level 7 and choosing to upgrade Quick Attack into it instead of Jump Kick.

With Zeraora, Agility has the user perform a quick dash, increasing its basic attack speed for a short time afterward.

By reaching level 6 with Zeraora, Agility is upgraded into either Volt Switch or Spark.

With Mew, Agility has the user quickly move in the designated direction, increasing its movement speed for a short time. A maximum of two Agility uses can be kept in reserve.

By reaching level 12 with Mew, Agility is upgraded into Agility+, and the distance the user moves in the designated direction is increased.

With Dodrio, Agility makes the user immune to hindrances and charges its sprint gauge. Afterward, the user's movement speed increases for a short time, and its sprint gauge charges faster.

By reaching level 13 with Dodrio, Agility is upgraded into Agility+, and the user's sprint gauge becomed fully charged after using the move again.
