Finally got a long of enough break to get back on to do things, aha.
I've been trying your suggestion on little breaks, but I'm having trouble. I'm not really sure how to get it to do the wispy/dissipating appearance, so if anyone else can get that, I say go for it.
Thank you!!! All of your sprites look really good as well; loving that Carvanha, Milotic, and those Regi's!!
I'm doing swablu, but it's probably only going to be black for now, so that the 'lightning' doesn't happen until it evolves.
