The fact that the entire sequence is a minute long is a testament to the incredible work the animation team did on the series. Every frame has to capture the enormity of each Pokemon and their battle moves, which makes it all the more impressive in motion.
If you still haven’t watched Twilight Wings, you can catch the entire thing on YouTube for free. There are only seven episodes in total, and they run anywhere from five to nine minutes in length. While on the shorter side, the animation is gorgeous and the series does a great job fleshing out Galar.
