Animation ID

Every overworld Monster Sprite includes multiple animations, each with their own unique Animation ID. This ID can be found in the AnimData.xml file of the sprite (from either exporting the sprite or downloading the sprite from the PMD Sprite Repository).

In cutscenes, the animations can be called using the SetAnimation Opcode with a parameter from the SetAnimation table based on the Animation ID and desired animation settings.

Dungeon Animations

All Pokémon require the following animations to be playable or featured as enemies in dungeons.

Animation ID	Name	Conditions it Plays Under
0	Walk	Basic movement across tiles. Also plays when moving in overworld.
1	Attack	Basic attack animation, plays when using a move or the regular attack.
5	Sleep	Inflicted with Sleep or spawning asleep.
6	Hurt	Taking damage from an attack or status effect.
7	Idle	Plays without any input, both in dungeons and overworld.
8	Swing
9	Double
10	Hop
11	Charge
12	Rotate

Some Pokémon will have extra animations, filling IDs 2, 3, and/or 4. These animations are entirely optional but are alternate attacking animations that will play when using specific moves. Some examples include Shoot, Twirl, and Strike. A full list of animation names for each Chunsoft Monster Sprite can be found here.

Starter-Specific Animations

These animations are specific to Explorers of Sky starter Pokémon. Note that while some Monster Sprites may contain one or more of these animations, if they are not starter Pokémon, then they may have different Animation IDs than normal starters, causing different animations to play. The PMD Sprite Repository contains Starter versions of Pokémon with correct IDs in these cases.
