Errors

• When Bunnelby blocked Heliolisk's attack, the black and orange colors of Clemont's Heliolisk's tail are swapped for a few frames.
• When Clemont goes to Heliolisk before he asked it if it's okay, the lower jaw of the Generator Pokémon is incorrectly colored with the same brown as its neck for a few frames.
