Final Submission
Ceramide
It's pretty basic actually. It's a combination of ceramic, which is what many pots are made of, and cyanide, which is a poison.
Pronounced: Sir-am-ide

Malchemy
A combination of "Mal" (meaning bad) + "Alchemy" (science of transformation of matter). Its transformation into a more "pure" substance (Mega Evolution) has strong alchemical correlations.
Pronounced: "MAL-kem-ee"
IPA: 'mælkɛmi

Toxurna
A combination of Toxic + Urn(burial jar) + a(feminine ending that's common in pokemon)
Pronounced: tocks+urn+AH
IPA: tɒksərnɑ
If you look at a lot of the more feminine pokemon(cleffa, sunflora, corsala, nidorina, meloetta) they all end in a. I decided to keep up this tradition in this pokemon as I also envision it being gender locked, ( or at least a high ratio of females). Toxic helps explain the poison typing, plus urn describes both the rock typing and the jar it's sitting inside.

Final Sumbission
Topften
"Topf" is German for "jar" and "vergiften" is the German verb "to poison". German seemed like a nice language to use.
Pronounced: TOP'f-tin
IPA: tɔpftən

Venimaturn
Venom (clearly poisonous) + Animate (It is ooze becoming alive) + Urn (In or part of a jar)
Pronunced: Veh-nih-mate-earn
The pokemon is an animated venomous urn (fully describes the creature). It also vaguely sounds like ultimatum, which could bring up a dark past about the creation of this pokemon (possibly some remains of a cremated thing), and also prelude to it being a mega since it is not what it seems at first (a jar) or after ( a regular non megable pokemon).

Final Submission
Urnoxious
Urn + Noxious and fits because of the poisonous appearance of Ylix's design as well as Urn which holds dead things / spirits etc. Also, it also adds a jeer-like "You're noxious!" connotation, which seems to work in conjugation with Ylix's child-like design. (Thanks to The Unseen Potato for this last part)
Pronounced: "Er-Noks-Shuss"

Constaine
Contain + Stain; This represents CAP 21 being containing purity in its jar, and its Mega being stained or corrupted.
Pronounced: KON-Stayn
IPA: /kənˈstān/
My created name has some kind of resemblance to the name Constance, which is good since CAP21 looks female.

Lyera
Lye is known as a corrosive cleaning agent, while Lyra is a feminine name. Sounds nice with "Mega" as a prefix.
Pronounced: Lie-rah
IPA: laɪɻæ
IPA is weird idk how exactly it works. I like this because it's easy to pronounce, sounds nice with the Mega- prefix, sounds like an actual thing a Pokemon like this would say in the anime, and it's short and sweet and easy to remember.

Carrinide
From Carinate, a shape typical of amphorae and vases (which CAP is inspired by), and Cyanide, a group of highly toxic substances. The double r refers to "Carrie", a girl's given name.
Pronounced: "KA-ree-NYDE"
Decided to change up to something more exotic this time around. I struggled a little to come up with something interesting, but I think this works pretty well.

Glopithos
From glop, a word for sludge or ooze, like what the CAP is made of, and pithos, a common type of jar/urn that the original design resembles.
Pronounced: "glah-pith-os"

Jarmin
A combination of "jar", which is pretty self-explanatory, and a truncation of "Ming", an ancient Chinese dynasty often associated with vases.
Pronounced: JAR-meen
The "g" from "Ming" was dropped to make it sound softer. Also references "Jasmine", a female name, since there's a vast consensus that CAP21 is a being of feminine nature.

There's probably something there with the Pandora angle but it's not Panclail. Maybe something like Panjara or Candora (Cancer/Carcinogen)?
