Favorite Attack Animation?

[Rai]

What is your favorite attack animation?

Mine would have to be Wake-Up Slap from Pearl. I find it so funny, it's like your backhanding the other pokemon xD

I also really like Dark Pulse and Luster Purge. What about you?

Leaf Blade from 3rd generation. It's what made me like that move so much. Then it sucked in 4th generation. Eh.

 

[Rai]

I agree. Leaf Blade was so cool and now it looks dumb

 

[Dragonite's Wrath]

My favorite is Rock Slide. I like the randomness of how the rocks fall.

 

[Saryka]

For some reason, I like Brick Break, especially when it's tearing down Reflect or Light Screen. 8D It's one of my favourite Fighting moves, as well.

I love the Earthquake move in the stationary console games, Colosseum especially. It just looks so mighty.

 

[Rai]

Oooooh I forgot about Magical Leaf. It does look really cool.

Some others I really like are Extrasensory, Psybeam and Draco Meteor

 

[MysticFlygon]

I've always really liked fire blast. I just always though it's animation was very creative and it hasn't changed since it was introduced way back in gen.1.

 

[Tox]

Well personally, I've always loved Power Gem, Psywave and Psycho Cut. Psychic moves generally have awesome animations.

 

[Palkia]

My favorite is Leaf Blade. It sucked it GEN III but after that they made it a leaf sword.

 

[Sydian]

Flamethrower, all generations, hands down, best animation everrrr. :D lol I guess I'm biased since it's my favorite move. Attract is cute too.

 

[Rai]

Fire Blast and Flamethrower have always been awesome, I agree :3

And yeah, Psychic moves tend to be really cool. I forgot to mention Signal Beam as an awesome animation~

 

[Weavile05]

When an enemy machop uses Bulk Up in Sapphire, it looks like it's farting
there was always something about Arm thrust I liked in Gen III as well.

 

[Dartht33bagger]

Night shade from R/B is cool

 

[Rai]

Wait, it farts? xD

And yeah, Night Shade has always been really cool :>

 

[Nameless.]

Psycho Shock! It's got these blueish-like colored gems that charge up and then blast to the opponent one by one. I love it. <3

Leaf Blade and Grass Mixer have amazing animations too. I have a thing for grass moves. ;3

[Mykemyday]

I loved flamethrower in generation III, except for when it looked like it was coming out of someone's chest.

 

[レイジングブラスト]

I like dragon rage and dragon pulse from 4th generation. I'm not sure why but I guess I just like attacks that are blue.

 

[Dogshrapnel]

All the beam-based attacks from Gen 2. look awesome!
Aeroblast just screams EPIC SAUCE!
