Hello! This is the same move animation that I made for Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee, but ported over to Sword/Shield. All Gen 8 Pokémon are in this video. This includes all Galarian forms, as well.

Folks voted for it, so I decided I'd go ahead and do it! That said, I'm probably done making animations for Switch games (at least for now), mainly because I don't have as much freedom with move animations in these. More new Ultra Moon moves are next!

Pro tip: press the , and . keys to move by one frame at a time! (1/30 of a second)



~~Background & behind the scenes~~

This animation took a fair bit of work, but everything carried over surprisingly well. With two exceptions that I had to work around...

- The Jump Kick foot model isn't in Sword/Shield, since that move isn't available in said game. There was another foot model from Low Sweep, but that was very low poly. Luckily, I was just able to copy the model over from Let's Go. Surprisingly, it worked with very little issue! Which is good, 'cuz I have no knowledge about importing different models.
- In Sword/Shield, move animations cannot take the camera underground, so the from-below angle couldn't work the same. I figured something else out for that angle, though - watch the video and find out yourself! I hope you like it. :3

Also, I slightly adjusted the animation for each Pokémon. In the Let's Go video, you might notice that smaller Pokémon seem to float off the ground while they're un-squishing. I tried to avoid that in this video. I wanted to make sure the Pokémon in this video didn't move upward too far, but also didn't want them to move so little that they clip through the ground. So I went through and measured exactly how far each Pokémon should stretch up for each angle. It was... tedious, but it got done! For this reason, though, I probably won't release the mod files for this move; there is no one-size-fits-all version of the move animation.

Anyway, I'm... very tired of this move animation by now. And of working in Sword/Shield. :P I might eventually make Mega Stomp in Ultra Moon as well, but I'd much rather make some new moves now! Thank you for understanding. :3
