Do you nickname your shinies?

I always wonder if you nickname some of yours too because I caught 2 of them, one of them is a Fletchling and one is a Shinx, for example. I nicknamed my Shinx Voltage and I also nicknamed my Fletchling Fries.

    I used to nickname every single Pokemon I caught, but it got tiring and I eventually gave up and started only nicknaming a few random ones.

    I nickname all my shines things that are all along the line of shiny. My Shiny Shinx is Glitter, my shiny Heracross is Sparklepuff, and I can't remember what I named my shiny Cetoddle. I couldn't name the shiny Lucario I got since it was from one of the free gifts on Pokemon go, so it's just Lucario.

    Shinies are the Pokemon I specifically nickname, asides from this one Paras I have. I hate Paras.

    I usually don't nickname my Pokémon in general, unless I can think of a particularly good nickname, but that isn't often. I'm bad with names. I can't even think of species names for about half of the Fakemon I make. So, basically no.

    All of my pokemon have nicknames including shinies. Normally I come up something that is either fitting for the mon or something funny.

    I feel nickmaning pokemon is so key to getting the most out of the game.

    I make "golden" shinies seem valuable with these nicknames:

    "GoldenRellor", "Gold Sliggoo"

    You're welcome.
