Moves animation

Bit disappointed to the Meteor Mash animation, just loads of stars rain down on the opponent. I know it's hardly relevant to the mon's performance but a cool animation is the icing on top of an awesome move.
On the contrary, Blast Burn has the coolest move animation as it bakes the opponent. Gunk Shot is a close second as it's so hilarious that it's good. Wild Charge deserves an honourable mention.
Which moves do you think have a cool animation?

I've kept Gunk Shot on my L40 lucky Alolan Muk just because it is so cool in gyms.

I like Solar Beam, a laser strike from space!

Submission used to be cool because it was so confusing, like Confusion only worse. But they might have changed the animation on it.

Mewtwo's focus blast is pretty cool, as much for the expression on Mewtwo's face as for the blast itself.

Some of the crappier moves like aurora beam and ancient power have great animations.

Meteor Mash is a little hard to parse. In addition to the stars, you can also see "balls" streaming in from the top and sides near the end of the animation.

There are a lot of cool animations for moves we never get to see much of, either because their Pokemon suck, they suck, or they are mostly on pre-final evolutions: Flame Charge, Sand Tomb, Psybeam, Signal Beam, and Power Whip. In addition, Sky Attack is incredibly well executed. For fast moves, I love Volt Switch and wish they'd lower the duration just enough to be able to fire one and dodge in-between all defender moves.

I agree animation sucks! I was expecting meteors from the sky.

I think earthquake has a very satisfying animation. I still panic for a fraction of a second when an ally uses earthquake in a raid, even if the boss doesn't have the move. Which is good - earthquake is everywhere!

I like most of the beam moves as well - anything that shoots a stream of colour at the event Pokemon looks pretty cool.

I love fighting with Lugia because of the animations. Extrasensory has a nice effect and Sky Attack looks just incredible. Too bad I can seldom justify using it.

Water Pulse is cool if it actually shows.
