What is your favorite move animation?

[Sulfurous]

My personal favorite is Cosmic Power from Gen 3.

Psychic from Gen II has always been one of my all time favourites. It sounds completely messed up and the animation just totally distorts the screen.

Draco Meteor seems to get more awesome-looking with each subsequent generation.

 

[Radiating]

Surf, there's just something about a tsunami-like wave being thrown at the opponent...

 

[BlazingCobaltX]

Really like Aeroblast in Gen II, but I like the sound of it more.

 

[Ducolamia]

Has anyone seen Flare Blitz in gen five? It's beautiful!

 

[Spyro]

Scary Face in Gen 6. I was pretty sad they changed it in Gen 7

 

[Lunar]

Yeah Draco Meteor always looks really cool, Lava Plume as well.

 

[SleepyTrainer]

Dark Pulse, not sure in which versions but it had even a cool sound with it.

Can I take a guess? :D I think Gen IV's version, but Gen V also has that sound. See this video.

Yep that's it. :D

Draco Meteor and Surf look really cool, but I also like Facade for some reason. It has those small bubbles sprinkling about. :)

 

[Arjay]

Brave Bird. Hot damn that's epic.

 

[Mab]

I can't really remember too many of them because I turned them off the last time I played to get rid of the ridiculously long Z-Move animations, haha. I remember liking the Gen 4 animation for Razor Leaf a lot.

 

[Aisu]

I used to like how Shadow Sneak was.

 

[thedestinedblade]

Brave Bird from Gen 6 on is just beautiful to watch. I love Calm Mind too now that it has that water droplet effect, lol. Gen 2 Psychic was pretty trippy as well and an old favorite.

 

[Ace Trainer 188]

Flash cannon. Nuff said.

 

[Pendraflare]

For what hasn't been mentioned, Outrage in B2W2. It's just grand in its fury. Enough said.

 

[Hikamaru]

I love that water drop effect on the post-6th Gen Calm Mind, but my all-time fave move animation is a tie between Water Pulse and Surf. Water-type moves always have neat animations, and I love how Surf is this giant wave crashing down on the foe, while Water Pulse's animation in B2/W2 was definitely its most gorgeous.

Unfortunately I hated Surf's 6th Gen animation so I was glad 7th Gen changed it back into the wave.

Meteor Mash has been a favorite of mine for a a long time! Along with surf and cosmic power. A newer move I really like is Moongeist Beam.​
