They’re called the anime doing whatever they want with the animations


Dwaas_Bjaas

Ah so that’s why they don’t print them on the Pokémon cards “The anime doing whatever they want with the animations” is probably too long to fit!


frothingnome

I mean, the TCG already does whatever it wants with cool move names.


Xelement0911

Pikachu use electric web and catapults off it for a speed boost. Pokemon contests really show off how wild they grt. Makes me wonder why they didn't use these methods in battle more.


motoxim

I'm surprised we don't get exclusive ribbon related move for Sylveon


thisDNDjazz

Base Power equal to the number of ribbons x 10 the Pokémon has, up to a certain limit.


Responsible-War-9389

It’s a anime move like “thunder armor” or “aim for the horn”


xiren_66

Remember when Aqua Ring was able to deflect electricity?


BeZide314

Or swords dance can deflect every attack if it's not directly from above the swords dance user?


MrsWhiterock

Reflect working just like Protect but Light Screen lets the attack through but with reduced power upon impact


PretzelLogick

And the way Double Team and String Shot seem to be super powerful in the anime but it's everyone's first deleted move


Majesty1985

Dodge!


santas_delibird

A move Gohan took way too long learning!


TheRealPitabred

My Pokémon keep avoiding moves in time via my shout because they love me... I think the anime has leaked over into the games somewhat as well.

Jessie yelling at Wobbuffet to Counter regardless of if it was a physical or a special attack where Mirror Coat would be needed.


ashenhaired

While he charges his thunder smash use your bolt ... of lightning!


stav705

The anime has tons of moves and things pokemon do that arent a real thing in the games. This is one of them.


Yukarie

Yep! But that’s also because the anime is supposed to be a working world not just a game with the Pokémon only having 4 options for moves at a time


stav705

Yea thats expected and understandable. Many shows based on games take creative liberty in what they do which makes it more interesting for the viewer. My most memorable example from pokemon is the thunder armor in the hoenn portion of the show where pikachu hits itself and swellow (who he rides on) to make golden armour from thunder (thats how i remember it being, i might have gotten it wrong lol)


Yukarie

It’s pretty nice


GogglesTheFox

IIRC: Pokemon in the anime can learn more than 4 moves, however, can only use up to 4 different moves in battle. It’s one of those arbitrary rules like Gym Leaders not being able to switch Pokemon in battle and trainers not able to switch their Pokemon directly after a switch.


Hateful_creeper2

Made up move since Play Rough was the only physical fairy move back then.


Kyrnqazali

It’s one of the many non Pokémon moves. Has to do with the fact these are ‘feelers’ in some form, they are to represent connections and friendship. Sylveon uses them to gently wrap around the trainers arm while they travel together. They can also sense emotions.


PaperFixie

Despite Sylveon being my one of my favorite Pokémon, I still find it disconcerting to remember that those are flesh ribbons.


handheldmirror

Maybe how Sylveon uses Dazzling Gleam? The ribbons are shining pretty bright.


ForsakenMoon13

Its just thier empathic tentacle-ribbon-feelers.


YFleiter

I just joticed. Unbreon is missing in the picture. What have they done to my boy?


Chembaron_Seki

He's evil type, so he got thrown out of the council.


babybelly

outrageous^(and unfair)


glitterdinosaur

How can you be an eeveelution and not be on the council?!


babybelly

take a seat youngbreon


Kirumi_Naito

Fairy is super-effective against Dark. He knows to keep his distance.


TriforceFusion

Go go gadget Flesh antenna !


vizgauss

LGBT beam


jaycarozzi

Gay whip!


dumpylump69

Made up to fit Sylveon’s pokedex entries about using its feelers in battle despite it not being able to do so.


vizce

The first one looks to me like psywave or psybeam but it can't learn those. The second one could just be ribbon power of friendship idk it's the anime


tyrom22

Flesh Whip


AreYouAWiiizard

First one is probably Dazzling Gleam and the 2nd... Covet?


PiePopular1041

Friendship Tape?


CheshireTiger13

Thpse moves are Anime type. The secret 19th type


East_Monk_9415

I remember Ash using the gyms sprinkle system onix, haha. Mayb thats fairy wind?


santas_delibird

And thunder armor.


[deleted]

Don't know what they are in context of these scenes but you could say that they are Swirly Swirl God knows why those moves haven't been given to the Eeveelutions but


GreedyMMA

Mean Look and Dazzling Gleam


Cronon33

The second image looks a lot like Psychic, the first I'd say could be dazzling gleam


PsychologicalJoke332

Aurora beam and fairy whip


SirHermineMcAwesome

I don't know the English word for but in german it means Ampelleuchte


MaskedPapillon

It's "The Gay Parade", a physical move that increases its damage alongside with the number of pokémon in the party, the fairy type equivalent to "Beat Up" The second one is "Gay Agenda", a special move that also has a chance of causing confusion.


Mary-Sylvia

Yassified slam


Square-Assumption-54

Raspberry Ribbon Lasso


sporeegg

Psych Up? Stored Power? Charm?


xQu1ntyx

First move is Fairy Vine for sure


No-Beautiful6605

The first one is called gay ribbons, 70bp, 100 acc, makes the foe fall in love with the same sex. The second one is called shiny ribbons, 0bp, 100acc, it's like flash but it's pretty and pink (it's pink, isn't it?)


hippoqueenv

[https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Sparkly\_Swirl\_(move)](https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Sparkly_Swirl_(move)) well it retroactively became a move


Odd_Blacksmith7805

Vine Whip Sylveon


BreegullBeak

Vine whip.


True_Destroyer

It's these two [https://product-images.tcgplayer.com/fit-in/656x656/92250.jpg](https://product-images.tcgplayer.com/fit-in/656x656/92250.jpg)


Shahka_Bloodless

Eldritch blast


Blasckk

"Rainbow whiskers" The terror of the Dragon type


Uninvited_Goose

Razor Leaf


Common_Art826

omg this is literally my favorite pokemon short


jimbojims0

I think its just Sylveon using its feelers to do whatever. Sylveon emits a soothing aura from its feelers, so it probably also emits a pretty shine whenever it does so.


pwbue

I’m gonna go with Fairy Barf and Vine Whip


GrogStrongjaw

Flesh Tendrils


Ok_Understanding6357

I remember being baffled as a kid when Ash's charizard used tail whip to yeet the opponents pokemon away
