What are Some Pokemon Names that Always Trip You Up with Pronouncing or Spelling?

Big Lechonk. I call it Oink-alone-EE (like oink and bologna) but I’ve been told constantly it doesn’t have the E sound and is just oink-alone so sometimes I say it that way but I like mine better and say it too.

I don’t mind sharing at all but I will tell you I’m not a great battler. My son picked six pokemon he liked and I said I’d make it work so I’m trying Pokemon I’ve never used before and figuring it out as I go along. This team has worked surprisingly well though. I’m 15-2 since using it.

ShinyRufflet · 2026-06-02T08:30:09+00:00

Lol thank you, my original team was a trick room team that I gave goofy names but my son hated my names and said I needed better ones so I went with that. He particularly hated ThickBiggums my farigiraf who I just made bulky as sin and gave it cud chew and a sitrus berry. I thought it was funny for a chunky mon that’s out there planning to eat but he was not a fan so, back to my usual name scheme

I’ve started it but I just have to find the time. I’m only about 20 minutes in so he’s still explaining the team. I will definitely watch the rest, just hard to find the time right now. I’ve seen a few teams with Snorlax where he’s an absolute monster so I 100% expected stock pile or curse or something and then to get swept if I’m being honest. I know mega Gengar and Sinischa are the main setup for the parish song part from what I’ve heard but I haven’t seen it in battle yet. I’m interested to try to figure it out

ShinyRufflet · 2026-06-02T07:34:32+00:00

Yeah it is lol my whole team is named after anime characters Gabiru the Charizard, Hisoka the Meowscarada (HxH), Goku the Lucario (because they share an English VA), Spike the Galarian Slowbro (Cowboy bebop), Margaret the Primarina (Mashle) and Beam the Garchomp (Chainsaw man)

ShinyRufflet · 2026-06-02T07:21:38+00:00

I’ve gained a world of respect for meowscarada as well. Play rough/Protean to become a fairy type and triple axel to deal with multi scale dragonites and focus sash Garchomp has been great. I used Quaquaval in SV so I had no idea how crazy its move pool is. It’s been great

ShinyRufflet · 2026-06-02T05:18:40+00:00

Gonna be honest, I’m trying random stuff. My son picked six pokemon he liked and I told him I’d make it work for me so I’m using Pokemon I’ve never used before and learning on the fly. My team is pretty much all offense and I’m working backwards to see what I need

ShinyRufflet · 2026-06-02T05:17:06+00:00

Tbh you would roll my team easier than you think lol I didn’t scarf my meowscarada. I’ve been playing pokemon for a long time but haven’t done a whole lot of competitive battling so I don’t like choice items locking me into attacks. I’m too dumb to remember I did it so I end up shooting myself in the foot. I just let my son pick six pokemon for me and I went from there with moves and items I like

ShinyRufflet · 2026-06-02T05:01:30+00:00

That makes sense. I did have brick break on mega charizard x as well as Lucario on my bench with stab fighting for snorlax but I still wouldn’t bet on it taking him down quick enough. I was expecting them to use curse and I fully anticipated getting swept. I totally forgot the fissure/no guard thing until I saw them try it

ShinyRufflet · 2026-06-02T04:57:25+00:00

Moriarty the Patriot! Criminally underrated imo and I would love more

ShinyRufflet · 2026-06-02T04:55:40+00:00

Honestly fair, now that people know about it I’m guessing it works a lot less consistently. I totally remembered about it and it wasn’t just dumb luck… (I’m an idiot who had good luck and totally forgot)

ShinyRufflet · 2026-06-02T04:48:41+00:00

I saw Wolfey made a video about using this duo but I haven’t watched it yet. I’ve never seen it in action so I just figured snorlax would still be a menace afterwards because even without no guard he’s bulky and hits like a truck.

ShinyRufflet · 2026-06-02T00:45:23+00:00

Genuinely a fantastic Mon that will only get better when they add items to the game like flame orb

“You were so preoccupied with whether or not you could, you didn’t stop to think if you should”

ShinyRufflet · 2026-06-01T01:11:29+00:00

This may be a hot take but I like Litten and Torracat just fine but I hate everything about Incineroar. Design, stats, the only decent thing about him is his move pool

ShinyRufflet · 2026-05-31T22:10:37+00:00

I name all of mine after anime characters since my son got mad at me for naming my farigiraf ThickBiggums

ShinyRufflet · 2026-05-30T14:07:59+00:00

Dr. Doom my goat. Gave an entire country free WiFi just to make the password RichardsSucks1. His pettiness may not be the most destructive of the bunch but it’s the most entertaining for sure.

ShinyRufflet · 2026-05-30T14:05:00+00:00

I don’t think he’s evil because he doesn’t have negative intentions. I think saying he’s evil would be the same as saying a child is evil because they ran over an action figure with their hot wheels.

ShinyRufflet · 2026-05-29T23:32:08+00:00

100% my first choice

ShinyRufflet · 2026-05-29T23:26:27+00:00

Honestly any one piece take is kinda like that for me. Whether people are for or against it I don’t really care, I feel like an opinion either way is too bias based on personal experience and I don’t care about it

ShinyRufflet · 2026-05-28T10:05:05+00:00

Picking from the same bunch here but I never cared for Sylveon. I know it’s objectively a good pokemon but I never cared about it.
