What is your favorite battle animation?
What are some of your favorite battle animations, whether it is a specific move or pokemon? I like the way Lugia looks when it battles. I also like shadow ball. I think Muk is one of the coolest, with poison jab and then throwing the trash can with gunk shot.

Blizzard and Ice beam are good, and the stone edge animation looks positively painful (getting sodomized by a stone spike). Earthquake is also kind of cool, even though it's a weaker attack. I find outrage is kind of disappointing - little white lines shooting up and out. And most of the electric attacks are pretty cool looking, particularly the weak/fast one, thunder.
I'm also partial to golem's quick attack - in raids, it looks like the boss is just rolling and smashing you.
But it's hard to beat the hurled trash can, so Muk gets my vote for best overall.
Bite- GunkShot on Arbok, it look like it doesnt stop to biting the enemy, sooo fast, and gunkshot animation is hilarious..
Confusiom- Solarbeam Exeggutor, it is slow but you feel that it hit very hard.
Dragon Breath Seadra, i love to use it in an old gym to fight Dragonite, love the animation, cool to see
My favorite is Kabutops with Furry Cutter- Stone Edge. I love Fury Cutter animation, not so much on XScissor in Pinsir moveset,that is why i keep my old Kabutops even when it doesnt have a good IV, and use it sometimes in gym or easier raids just to look at the animation. The combination of how fast Fury Cutter and how quick StoneEdge, love to see that.
