Gen 3/4/5-style menu icons for Gen 6+ Pokémon

From BDSP onward, official Pokémon games have stopped using the 32x32 menu sprites in favor of more detailed icons. This is a repository of community-made menu sprites of the new Pokémon in a two-frame 64x32 format (examples below). Additionally, from Gen 6 onward, Pokémon only had static menu icons, rather than the 2-frame animations used from Gens 3-5. While lower priority, it still seems natural to accumulate any animated icons people might have created for Pokémon and forms introduced from XY-SwSh here, as well.

Here's a showcase of some of the sprites:

See the spreadsheet below for all completed icons.

Here's the full spreadsheet of icons done so far. There's a lot of sprites missing from Gens 6-8, but we have icons for all Pokémon from Scarlet/Violet and most from PLA. Contributions are absolutely welcome, though be mindful to stick to the format above: 64x32 PNG (or 128x64 with double pixel size) that consists of two 32x32 frames.
And here's a .zip with all the sprites.

Everyone listed here contributed sprites in addition to any other roles listed:

Big update! This pack now includes icons for all Gen 9 Pokemon. A huge thanks is due to those working on the Spanish Gen 9 Sprite Project (Proyecto Sprites Gen 9) for creating these icons. Go check out the original resource:

Hello KRLW890, Could you share the google drive links of the projects from generations past to 9, thank you very much in advance!

The .zip file linked in the original post (here it is again) contains all the completed sprites, which includes a solid but incomplete collection of Pokemon from Gens 6-8 (animated versions of the static icons used in those Gens), and all Pokemon from Gen 9, except for Walking Wake and Iron Leaves. You can see which sprites are done on this spreadsheet.

These icons are made with Pokemon Essentials in mind, which comes with animated icons of every Gen 1-5 Pokemon by default, so those are excluded here.
 
the glimmora sprite is too small. 1.4 meter iron valiant is twice the size of 1.5 meter glimmora.

What do you mean by meter? All the sprites should be 128x64 pixels.
I'll note that the icons used here aren't associated with the ones Smogon just released as part of the Smogon Sprite Project, so the proportions are different on most of them, if that's what you're comparing them to.
