What if we could nickname moves?

I originally thought of this as in I have a Galarian Rapidash in Sword which knows Megahorn, but I think it would be really cool If it was possible to nickname it 'Unihorn' as Galarian Rapidash looks like a Unicorn.

Obviously it could cause some problems like with battles as people could nickname one move as another move (E.g. You could nickname heat crash as agility to try trick people) but I think it could be averted by making it so only the user can see the nickname but the opponent only sees the actual name of the move.

If you have any other nicknames for moves or if you think it would end up being a negative addition, share them in the comments!

    It sounds fun, but I can imagine coming back to the game after a long break and having no idea what any of the moves actually are or why I called them dumb meme names.

    Maybe it would be okay if there was a button to show the true move names or revert them all to their original names in one go.

    I don't think the juice is worth the squeeze on this one, I'm afraid.

    Maybe if the real move name was in transparent text behind the nickname?

    Some classic moves nicknames meme ideas

    Ice beam- dragonout

    Surf- Waterinnutshell

    X-Scizor- Paperbeat

    Focus blast- Focus miss

    Substitute- Dinodoll

    Yeah would be wierd but funny. I would be great to name moves just to add depth to your moms. Or just cool refrences (4EX. If you want to nickname mon like a character from other video game its moves could also be named to match)
