How to pick the right name

Check the 12-character limit

Recent main-series games cap nicknames at 12 characters, spaces included. Every name here fits, but count again if you add a word.

Pick a name that grows with it

Larvitar is small and Tyranitar is two meters tall. Names like Molehill or Nugget are funny at every stage, which saves you a rename.

Lean on mountains, sand and armor

Its Pokédex entries, Sand Stream ability and Armor Pokémon category give you endless material. A name tied to the lore reads as a fan favorite.

Go big or go ironic

Either give it a name as huge as it is (Juggernaut) or the smallest, sweetest name you can find (Teacup). Both are funnier than something in between.
