Battle Transitions

Each type of raid battle has its own unique battle transition animation that showcases the raid species. TheAse animations first show a blackened silhouette and then gradually reveal the hidden species. The animation for each raid type is identical apart from the background elements that appear behind the Pokemon sprite.

Extra Raid Action Animation

Whenever a raid Pokemon performs an extra raid action, an animation will play to indicate this. The animation will be a simple ring of energy that extends outwards from the raid Pokemon.

Raid Failure Animation

Whenever you are prematurely kicked out of a raid battle due to one of the raid counters reaching zero before you defeated the raid Pokemon, an animation will play to indicate that you've been blown out of the raid. This animation is the same as the flee animation used for wild Pokemon, except it will show all Pokemon on your side of the field fleeing simultaneously instead.

Animation used when the player is prematurely blown out of a den.
