How does the speed effect a Pokemon battle?

Well in most games, speed decides which Pokemon will move first in a battle. So if a Pokemon had a speed stat of 80 and the other had a speed stat of 50, the first Pokemon would move first.
However, in gen 1, Pokemon with a higher speed stat would also land critical hits more often than a Pokemon with a lower speed stat.
Simple. the Pokemon with the the bigger speed stat will go first in battle.Example: A Sceptile and a Starmie are battling.Sceptile has 250 Speed stat and Starmie has 235.Then Sceptile will go first in battle.Speed can also work with moves too.Gyro ball’s power depends on how low the speed of the user is.Also there are some moves that do not work with speed.Like Quick Attack.Quick attack always allows the user to attack first when using that move.I will edit if I find some more.
