What Pokemon has the longest name?

Question

Sorry if this question is already asked. I am including megas and please separate it into regions, legendaries and mythicals and then say the final longest name.

Comments

Is that even useful to know?
Fletchinder is the final longest name, with 11 letters.
In Gen I to Gen V, a Pokemon's name could not exceed 10 letters so that is the maximum you will find, with examples such as Weepinbell, Sudowoodo, Hitmonchan and more. There are no 12 letters Pokemon name.

Dude it's trivia

Answer 1

Crabominable

Flechlinder, Polteageist, Centiskorch, Barraskewda, Corviknight, Blacephalon, Stonjourner are all at 11 letters, and Crabominable is the new no-mega/primal winner with 12 letters!

As far as Megas go, Primal Groudon has 13, and Mega Charizard X, Mega Charizard Y, Mega Kangaskhan, and Mega Aerodactyl tie for 14.

Comments

mega kangaskhan is 14 letters as well

---

Brambleghast is 12.

---

Crabominable is only 11.

---

Update> Squawkabilly and Poltchageist have 12 letters each now.

---

Single Strike Gigantamax Urshifu has 29

You never, ever include “shiny” normally.

Answer 2

In terms of name by itself, Fletchinder with 11 (Kalos) is currently the only Pokémon name to exceed the traditional cap of 10. However if you are considering megas, Mega Charizard X (Kanto), Mega Charizard Y (Kanto) and Mega Aerodactyl (Kanto) tie with 14 letters.

Legendaries? Mythical? Different regions? Yea no need to actually read the question.

Update: Crabominable is a thing now. 12 letters long. Eat your heart out, Fletchinder.

Answer 3

If you are counting forms and regional variants Galarian Zen Mode Darmanitan has the most letters(25 letters not including spaces).

Comments

Isn't there a Shiny Galarian Zen Mode Darmanitan (then it's 30 letters w/o spaces)

---

Basically we shouldn't count shiny as it's *name*. It is actually shiny, the name isn't.

Answer 4

Pokemon nicknames in modern games have a limit of 12 characters (source 1 - Bulbapedia), so it makes sense that since the name bar can only fit 12 characters, the actual names of Pokemon can't exceed that.

This complies with the fact that the highest letter count of any Pokemon name is in fact 12 characters, found in the names of Squawkabilly, Poltchageist, Crabominable, and Brambleghast (source 2 - whatever this is).

The 12 letter limit does not count spaces, but there are still no Pokemon that exceed 12 including spaces. There are some that achieve 12 if you count spaces, however, those being Brute Bonnet, Flutter Mane, Gouging Fire, Iron Boulder, Iron Jugulis, Iron Valiant, Roaring Moon, Sandy Shocks, Slither Wing, and Walking Wake. (Source 2)

Hope I helped!

Answer 5

I mean, what about Basculin Blue Stripe? (18 letters without counting space and dash)

Answer 6

This is a bit late but the longest name would be Single Strike Gigantamax Urshifu with 29 letters and 33 characters total. If you counted this you could even include "shiny" making it 39 total characters. If you really want to stretch things the longest would be Square Shiny Single Strike Gigantamax Urshifu. This would include 40 letters! It is also quite a mouthful. Although I'm not completely sure about the Alcremie forms so one of those could be longer.

Comments

So the strawberry sweet (15 letters) is the longest sweet name to give it and there are a few longest cream types, Vanilla Cream, Caramel Swirl, and Rainbow Swirl (all at 12 letters) so the longest name an Alcremie could have (not including square shiny or Gigantamax) is 35 letters or 39 characters long.
