    Most of the time before my Turtwig attacks, it sort of bounces twice, then a gold ring comes out around it. I makes a weird pumping sound for each 'bounce' and a little ping for the ring. It's not holding an item or anything.

    Could it be because it's at lv. 39? I don't want it to evolve.

    Can anyone tell me what this is, what causes it, and how to make it go away?

    Thanks!
     
    that is really really wierd.... the 2 bouces your turtwig does is normal its a d/p animation and the gold ring must mean its shiny. The chance of getting a shiny is higher than 8000... Your very lucky. However must of the time when a pokemon is shiny a blue or silver ring goes around it... hmmm. Very interesting. A ring shouldnt make go around it everytime it attacks though. Where did you get the turtwig from?
     
    Thanks for replying! Turtwig was my starter when I started the game. I'm certain it's not shiny, though. (I wish I wish I wish.) My Piplup did this too on my other game. Bouncing was kinda of the wrong description. It's hard to describe. I'll try to put up a video if I can figure it out. I've never done one before.

    A shiny would have a blue ring of stars. Well, I never had a young pokemon up to a high level before so I don't know if it "bounces" for evolution.. I think it is most likely Quick Claw's animation but you said you didn't have it holding an item so.. Glitch?

    Happiness, I wouldn't think so. None of my pokemon shake.. :/
     
    Oh! It Looks like it's healing itself with some sort of berry, Or item. I had pokemon holding berries and they did that same thing.
     
    Its an item most probabaly quick claw.
     
    Oh sorry, guys! I checked and it is holding Quick Claw. >.<

    But it still doesn't explain why Piplup did the same thing. I always had him hold Miracle water. Does Miracle Water do the same thing?

    my blue medicham does the same thing.

    No, I think you'd notice the different colours (As subtle as they are) plus its a different anim.

    Plus its already been said its a quick claw about 17 times. Read through before answering.
