This flexible approach suits a customized Minecraft server, letting administrators decide which Pokémon receive the additions. At BoxToPlay, we see it as a creative way to diversify battles and encourage community driven ideas.

The no pose option can look cleaner when blocking, while the pose version preserves weapon animations.
