Description
Animated sprites have pixels replaced with transparency that should not be. This is a relatively serious issue for anyone who wants to use these sprites for any practical purpose. These transparent pixels include but may not be limited to pixels that should be #636363. Please see 84.gif (Doduo) for reference, though it occurs to some degree on a relatively large number of sprites.
I understand this is probably because you took the sprites from here, which has the same issue, but there used to be another location with another set.
Here is the location for another set without this issue, but I cannot guarantee they will all be available due to being archived.

Research direction
Start by inspecting 84.gif (Doduo) and comparing its transparent pixels with the referenced archived sprite set and the current Gen 5 animated assets. Identify the affected sprites, restore pixels that should not be transparent, and verify that the corrected animations no longer lose the reported gray pixels.
