My Growlithe named Enrico (after history's greatest Doge) My Parasect named Cody Septic. My Gen IV IV Bred Tyranatar named KING GOD (granted his IVs would be nothing today but this is gen III/IV we're talking about) My Shiny Weezing named 'My Boy Blue' (I think I had to shrink this to Ol' Blue but canonically I consider his name to be the former) My Shiny Raticate named Booger Red.

Oh, and in White2, I caught a Dwebble in a Nuzlocke who I named General. He didn't do much of anything. I caught a new Dwebble in a Y nuzlocke, and she impressed me enough for a name change to Captain. Then, in my latest Nuzlocke, I got lucky enough to find ANOTHER Dwebble who was now one of my sleeper favorites and power houses, and I named her Admiral. She is my star.

I did go through a phase where I namee the 6 pokemon on my teams Pestilence/War/Death/Famine/Apocalypse/Harbinger and Wrath/Gluttony/Pride/Envy/Sloth/Greed Also led to weird poo poo like a Butterfree named WAR or a Explous named Apocalypse.

Fauxliage for Sudowoodo is always good, but I'm pretty sure I stole that off the Internet. Foaliage for horsey plant things too. also things like dang he so the game sounds really surprised every time they do something

I mostly just give my mons normal sounding names, with more extravagant names for more special mons, and I always use the same names for the same mons in most of my playthroughs (i.e. 90% of my female butterfrees are named Mary, male Espurrs always get Kain, etc). It's boring, but I like it. The only nickname I'm really proud of was Purmple the shiny wurmple

Dwebble is a neat Pokemon that doesn't get enough love, and has a good movepool, stats, typing, and access to Shell Smash. It'll never be competitively viable, but in-game it's enormously fun.

Dwebble sweeps are legit.

drat it feels SO satisfying to make good reads on an opponent. I'm hardly a "good" competitive battler but I just caused a ragequit via wifi up against a pretty intimidating team. I tend to roll with my favorites like Ninetales and Quagsire rather than the typical Thunderus/Amoongus/MegaKang teams but I managed to read pretty much every play this guy made. I can vouch that watching YouTubers has made me a better player
