It's a pretty common way to animate breathing in pixel art. Because the resolution is so low, one pixel distance looks like a lot of movement

Look into sub-pixel animation. It helps smooth out the sudden jump between pixels by instead shifting the color of adjacent pixels. Basically pixel art motion blur.

Thanks for the tip! I am actually familiar with sub pixel animation, you can see it on his head if you look up loo at his chin and hair. The effect is not very noticeable here because the color palette I used is very small
