I can see why many Pokémon looked like they were literally hitting a ball when using this move-- because back then, Ghost-Type moves were *physical.* I dunno, I thought that was clever. Either way, I love these animations. ^^ Thank you for posting these!
4:18 Favorite Pokémon who debuted this move in "Pokémon: The First Movie" before Pokémon Gold and Silver was released. No matter what Pokémon game is released, if it has Mewtwo, I always teach it that move.
This is my favorite animation in the entire Pokémon stadium series, a ball of shadows appears suddenly in front of you and wack it to your opponent kudos GF
You can just feel the power of the attack when they punch the crap out of it. The Nido family 0:19 and Gengar 2:23 are my favorites for that reason alone
I would expect them to use their shooting animation, but instead the punch the ball away. I like that that. It looks really powerfull for some Pokémon, for example Nidoking.
It's such a tragedy that Shadow Ball, and all the other Ghost Type moved were treated as a Physical Move before Gen IV introduced the Physical/Special Split.
By far the best Shadow Ball animation, none of the other animations come remotely close (In fact, most of the other SB animations are pretty lame IMO.)
The most beautifully animated move in any Pokémon game ever IMO
I prefer perish song
Sacred Fire / Fire wheel have some great animation too !
One of the best honestly, just wish it wasn’t considered a physical move during that time 😭

3:45 Jolteon mouth sync with the announcer voice saying “What’s this ?” It’s like Jolteon talking 🤣
It was wondering why tf a dark orb was manifesting in front of it
4:44 Awwww Togepi is cute

It's also Mewtwo's neutral special in every Smash Bros. game its in, and the move Kirby copies from it after he inhales it.
I like it, how the Pokémon punch the Shadow Ball, but Hypno and Blissey have the best Animations. 😂
2:36 Hypno
2:54 Blissey
Bro trying to use Zen headbutt.
modern pokemon games dont even animate moves anymore wtf
It still does, you just have to enable moves animations on
If only they kept this animation and cleaned it up for the modern games.
Nah let's just have them use the same open mouth and lean forward animation they use for everything.

Did Gme Freak animate Pokémon Stadium 2? I thought Genius Sonority animated that game.
