My husband does shiny hunting (searching for rare, alternate coloured “shiny” Pokemon through various methods) and always nicknames his shinies. I give him name suggestions, and he tends to use them.
Some recent examples (if you don’t know what the Pokemon looks like, you can look it up):
[name_u]Charles[/name_u] for Charizard is really cute. In [name_u]Omega[/name_u] [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], I named my [name_m]Shiny[/name_m] Banette [name_f]Bernadette[/name_f], lol
