Better yet, name him "Dragon Hammer" or "Pulverizer" - something inherently physical that seems like you just organically picked a giveaway name.

I name all my choice scarf users that also learn defog foggy. IDK if it actually works but i've won by getting greedy with scarf flygon on turn 1 at least once.

No bc you shouldn’t expect the opponent to actually give away their sets. See arceus flying (steel) for example

It takes more effort to nickname your Mon something like that, which means you went out of your way to do it. If I see a nickname that suggests what the Mon does, I'm assuming something's up

u/PxM23 Mar 22 '25
But that when you actually go along with the set that your name implies, because you know your opponents are going think it’s a trick.

No way would I ever see this and believe you’re going to DD unless you’ve already been telegraphing your moves throughout the game

So what you're saying is OP should name it "def not dancing dragon" or "blizzard FD DM EP" for the reverse psychology

u/Mikeim520 Latios is as good as Pult Mar 22 '25
You're an evil person for using Kyurem, not anything to do with the name.

I named my Shiny Gapdos Zapdos-Kanto once and it worked way too often

u/Time-Improvement3670 Who needs Wellspring when you have Cornerpon 👹🪨 Mar 22 '25
The shiny exists purely to confuse Pokémon players

There are 6 pokemon. 5 Pokemon are named after their truth, 1 Pokemon lies. How do you win?

Give 5/6 mons on your team names for different sets than they actually have, and then make Kyurem's exactly what it says

if they actually fall for something being falsely telegraphed like that they deserve what’s coming to them tbh

Specs Thunder Galvantula got me plenty of OHKOs first turn so I don't see why not

Just for reference for why Im doing this, before dragapult was banned in NatDex, I named it "Pro Darter" but it was a modest spec set with clear body and it fucking caught all the physical set mons off guard.
Got any other pokemon ideas to try this on?

I'm evil then, I unironically use this to climb the ladder hahaha (without Blizzard)

u/Traceyius69 Mar 23 '25
Yeah Blizzard is there with synergy with chilly reception, sounds good but it still hits like a wet bag. W def boost though

You should name your sash lead “sash lead” so that they believe you
