Verify Animated Moves Are Working in Battle

Check Your Installation

Start a battle with your Pokémon to confirm the mod is active. Look for bright particle effects and custom sound effects when your team uses attacks. If you see colorful projectiles, auras, or elemental effects instead of static animations, the mod is working correctly.

Identify Animated Moves

Not every move has custom animations—only the 116 included moves display new effects. Common animated moves include fire attacks like Flamethrower and Fire Blast, water moves such as Hydro Pump and Surf, electric attacks like Thunderbolt, and special moves like Aura Sphere and Shadow Ball.

Troubleshoot Missing Effects

If you see no particle effects or custom sounds:

• Ensure the data pack is enabled in your world settings
• Check that your Pokémon are actually using animated moves (not basic attacks like Tackle)
• Verify particles and sounds are enabled in your Minecraft settings
• Confirm the mod is installed on both client and server if playing multiplayer

If only some moves show effects, this is normal—moves outside the 116 animated list use default animations.
