Priority Moves

Priority governs which Pokémon strikes first in battle.

By default circumstances and conditions, the Pokémon with superior Speed statistics will strike first. However, if a Pokémon uses a priority move, the user of the move will strike first, notwithstanding the opponent's speed. If both Pokémon uses a priority move within the same value bracket, the Pokémon with the superior Speed will strike first.

Different priority moves may fall into different value brackets, which range from 5 to -7 in PWO. The brackets of each priority move correspond to the same value in the generation-4 games (compiled below).
