THE QUEST TO FIND
THE WORST OF THE WORST
THE WEIRDEST OF THE WEIRDEST!

Title says it all. I am curious to see the extent of "creativity" with Pokemon nicknames.
What are the worst Pokemon nicknames you found on different Pokemon games and sites?
*Please don't name the owners. Seriously. For the love of Arceus, just don't.

I saw a Froslass named 'Translass', which seems to be an insult. (Of course, that could just be me being weird, as usual.)

I suppose the answer to this depends on the definition of "worst" and "weird". On a lot of fan games, people will name their Pokemon after swear words and inappropriate contexts if they are allowed to, which then I would consider it to be a worst nickname.

For the weird ones, I've seen people nickname their Pokemon after its IVs so that they could easily pick it out of a box that listed Pokemon by names- it's practical but weird, especially if you imagine calling them by their IV nickname into battle :D . Naming Pokemon after common people names also seem weird to me, such as a Diglett named Bob, Rapidash named Jason and an Arcanine named Beth that I saw on someone's team once.

On the Wonder Trade of the official games I've gotten a bunch of those joke Pokemon that have funny yet terrible names- Snorlax named "YourMom" that had a Burn Heal item attached, Zigzagoons named "Sorry", "I suck" and "NoNotAgain" (this was during the early weeks of the ORAS release where everyone mostly had Zigzagoon and not much else). There was also a Pumpkaboo wonder traded to me that was named "Hahaha" that had an Everstone attached.

I received a Pokemon from the official game wonder trade during Christmas this past year that contained the name of a Pokemon website that was doing an Xmas giveaway. This was another one of those interesting yet weird names; it was nice, but I am not able to change its nickname so it will forever be named after a website.

The last weird nickname set I can remember right now was used by a couple of my friends who got the idea off of a random website to use on XY and ORAS. They named their Pokemon things like "IDontCare", "CoolHax" and "NoThanks" and kept them together in an easily accessible box. While they played the game they would be connected to PSS, and they would be spammed by people who wanted to do random trades with them. They actually liked to trade with random people, but there were many who only pressed trade to show off their shinies and stuff to you. What they did when they found one of those people was take one of their nicknamed Pokemon like "IDontCare" and then drop it into the counter-trade-offer box, hoping the people would get the idea and end the trade. It only had a 50% success rate though.

I Found A Pokemon Mothim named Assly :/ weird...

I was watching a video on Glitches in Pokemon white and black 2, and they showed their pokemon (Doing something with held items) and I saw these two pokemon:
A deerling named 'bubber' and a tranquill called 'fly slave'.

And I'm like
"Poor tranquill just...' XD

Over in the minecraft world, on the Kanto server in Pixelmoncraft (Don't go there by the way. If you want to go to a server for pixelmon, go to Hoenn or find a different place all together), there's a little command across all the servers that lets you see the IVs of a pokemon. So I was newer, and dropped a couple of my pokemon in the wondertrade pool, and got a Ghastly (81% IVs) named "YourBreath", and a Magikarp (96% IVs) named "EatMyD***". I adopted both immediately, and luckily you can change nicknames of traded pokes in Pixelmon. The Magikarp later went on to help (after it evoed) me kick the Hoenn champion's 100% IVs Mewtwo's butt.

About a week ago, I got a Squirtle through Wonder Trade named "DEEZ NUTZ"
