I'm currently working on a sprite of the pokemon Deoxys, and i'm having some trouble deciding on what pose i should stick with.
One one hand i like the motion and movement implied in the left pose, but then on the other hand i like the battle ready fighting pose on the right, and i have a weakness for the oversized and spread hand lel.

I need some insight on which pose looks more natural and flows well, or just give me your personal opinion on which one you think looks better overall. Thanks!

I feel like both feel very "action pose-y" (which is good) and neither looks unnatural or wrong.

As they are, I personally prefer the one in the right, the other one is a little more cliché, so to speak.

Only thing I'd change is the position of his right arm. Quick edit below:

Thanks for the little edit, i actually think that the arm looks more natural now haha, i'll have to refine the lineart.

Thanks for the help!
