• A nickit and shiny nickit named Dust Bunny and Lint Trap respectfully
• Little Sir the orbeetle
• Goldfish the vaporeon
• Frito the pink jellicent
• Zappa the mawile (yes that is a guilty gear reference)
• Kasane Teto the excadrill
• Claire's the gothitelle
• and of course Honey Butter the shiny galarian meowth

I tend just to use hockey players names when I'm nicknaming Pokemon, but some of my favorite non-hockey nicknames that I've used are:

• Conkeldurr - Beefy Lad
• Archeops - Kilzpteryx
• Coalossal - Ol King Coal

I love Honey Butter. That is so cute . I haven’t played Pokemon in years but the last one I checked awhile back for a screenshot or something, I named one of my bird pokemon Sakic after a hockey player that I liked and I may have named some after anime characters. I am so terrible at coming up with original names

I named my Blissey “Ignorance” so I could have the evolution message say “Your Ignorance has become Blissey.” The dad joke was worth it.

Zappa the mawile is perfect. Haha

I usually don't name my pokémon, but for Let's Go, my hubs named his eevee Soti, and I named my pikachu Crispy, both after each other. c:

 

[Croconaw]

I don’t actually nickname Pokémon. I let them have their original names. I always found it weird when people gave them names. I didn’t think it was common.

I like themes for my Pokémon

Emerald had Animal Crossing characters

• Shrunk the Marshtomp
• Nook the Linoone
• Kapp'n the Lombre
• Caroline the Aron
• Static the Electrike
• Saharah the Numel
• Raddle the Gulpin
• Snake the Nincada
• Nat the Trapinch

Black had monarchs

• Louis the Serperior
• James the Stoutland
• Bjorn the Excadrill
• Vlad the shiny Garchomp
• Max the Escavalier
• Max Thrax the Timburr
• Bela the Panpour
• Khufu the Archeops

Blue had their Dezaking names. Dezaking is a language I'm creating, and I am giving some Pokémon names.

• Gengvaal/Iselkav/Imavanda the Bulbasaur/Ivysaur/Venusaur
• Jixudu/Koovudu the Slowpoke/Slowbro
• Wehuga/Gety the Magnemite/Magneton
• Imami/Evagoo the Eevee/Flareon
• Sleaas/Slise/Slime the Pidgey/Pidgeotto/Pidgeot
• Zinane/Ziquri the Sandshrew/Sandslash

Most shiny Pokémon I got happen to have human names, or names of gods that could work for humans.

• Catherine the Tsareena (Catherine the Great)
• Steven the Metagross (Steven Stone)
• Chris the Abomasnow (caught Christmas Eve)
• Mary Jane the Shiftry (...)
• Wally the Stakataka (looks like a wall)
• Cyrano the Heatmor (for the best anteater who isn't actually a pangolin)
• Raffi the Vileplume (rafflesia)
• Gen the Uxie (from Gen, the god of knowledge in the religion of the world I'm building)
• Artemis the Cresselia (from the goddess of the moon)
• Kāne the Tapu Lele (Hawaiian god of life who Tapu Lele was based on)

Exceptions are:

• Queen Jelly the Jellicent (Spongebob reference)
• Shiny the Smoochum (I'm uncreative)

i think a lot of my child self's nicknames were really funny... my very first nicknamed pokemon EVER was my starter chimchar, who i named chimchar because i thought you could change the name every time they evolved (i did not know about name rater). so now i have an infernape that has been transferred and permanently named chimchar

 

[kiwikenobi]

I've nicknamed lots of Pokémon. Some of my favorites are:

Rage Scream the Charizard
Riki the Cinccino (He is Heropon!)
Kamehameha the Blastoise
SpiritBomb the Spiritomb
Tsynq Yr the Skuntank
Taggerung the Floatzel

I usually choose names that are references to something, some obvious, some more obscure. (If anyone gets the reference that my Skuntank's name is, I will be extraordinarily impressed!)

I also did a lot of shiny hunting, and I gave all of my shinies names that usually had to do with their shiny color. Some I like in particular are:

Rambutan the shiny Sandslash (it looks so much like one!)
Cotton Candy the shiny Mareep (it looks so much like it!)
Kirby the shiny Sneasel (he's so pink!)
Broly the shiny Pansage (he's a monkey, and he looks so broccoli!)

And special mention goes to Aria the shiny Absol, who got her name because she revealed halfway through my attempt to catch her with a normal Pokéball that her fourth move was Perish Song. And after trying valiantly to catch her in a normal Pokéball for two more turns, I threw a Master Ball instead.

I have dozens of other nicknames I came up with, but those are the ones I think are the most amusing at the moment.
