This name just gave me an idea. Allow me to retort.

Henray
A combination of "henry," the SI unit of inductance named for Faraday's contemporary, Joseph Henry, and "ray" (self-explanatory).
Pronounced: HEN-ray
Just a PSA: I had the winning name for Birkal's entry all set if his Playtpus won. The correct answer was "Platytude." :D
Anyway.
WIP:
Lumiskate
A portmanteau of Illuminate (To supply light or brighten up) and Skate (a species of Rajinae, the same family of fish as the rays).
Pronounced: loo-muh-skeyt
Thoughts?

Ampero
Etymology: Derived from "Ampére" the famous scientist who mainly studied electricity, and "nero", the translater Greek for water. IDK, I came up with a few names and this seems the best to me.
Pronunciation: am-pay-ROH
I'm a bit torn on the pronunciation. I think that "am-PAY-roh genuinely sounds better, but "nero" is said "nay-ROH" in Greek. I went for consisitency with etymology for now, but what do you guys think?
Also, while it has the "e" as an "ay" sound, the name sounds good if you also follow the eymology of "ampére" with "am-PÉR-oh". Should I predominatly use "nero" or "Ampére" in this name?

Vobula
Pronunciation: VOH-BUE-la
Combines the words "Volt", which refers to electric and "Mobula", which is a species of manta ray.

NAME: Maneuray
PRONUNCIATION: Man-new-ray
ETYMOLOGY: (Manta Ray + Neuro) OR (Manta + Neuro + Ray)
INFORMATION: I think the reason I picked "Manta Ray" is fairly obvious, but I do feel I need to explain "Neuro". If you sent "Neuro" through a spellcheck you'll discover it's not a word, at least by itself. Many of you may recognize "Neuro" as being a prefix. "Neuro" comes from "Neuron" which is the name of nerve cells, cells which are electrically charged. BUT that's not my only reason why I chose "Nuero", as I said it's often used as a prefix and you may possibly know of one of the words its a prefix for: Neurotoxin. As the name implies, a neurotoxin is a chemical that negatively affects nervous cells and tissue. So I put the two together and viola, I got a name which describes what animal the Pokemon is based upon as well as reference to both of its types. (yes, I'll shorten this down for my Final Submission, just want to clearly state my thought process here in the planning stage)

Exineuray / Extineuray
Pronunciation: [Ex-i-NEW-ray] / [Ex-ti-NEW-ray]
The I is pronounced as in 'toxin'.
This name combines the following words
- Exa, referring to its absolutely humongous size among CAPmon and Exa being the largest element on the SI-scale.
- Neurotoxin, of course being a reference to its Poison-type.
- Stingray, a highly dangerous type of ray with incredibly potent venom.
I know there are way better names out there, but I just wanted to throw out my own idea. I'm throwing my full support behind Deck Knight's Gammarayth.

Yay, the stingray got selected. :) Anyways, I wanna name it Mantricxin. (MAN-trik-sin) Manta ray+electric+toxin.

Phosphoray
Phosphorescence + Ray
Myliobolt didn't flow very well, and the etymology was obscure. I think this one fits the design better.

Einheray
Einherjar + Ray
Pronounced: ein-he(ə)r-RAY
Ever since we decided on the concept I thought Einherjar was just a pretty cool word in general and would be cool to incorporate into the final name. Thus, a simple combination of Einherjar and Ray, a ray that essentially has a reward even in death.

Mercuray
Pronounced: MURR-q-ray
Mercury is widely used in flourescent lamps, and is regarded as a very poisonous element. Break the lamp, and the mercury comes out, being potentially lethal to everyone around it.
Ray, of course, is based on the fact that this design is based on a stingray.

I prefer the last one. :)

Keravenom (Keravnos(Zeus' weapon)+Venom) (kuh-RAV-in-um)
What do you think? This one's my best yet. :) Or Keraivenom (Keravnos+Wraith/Ray+Venom) (kuh-RAI-vin-um). Feedback, please.

What a load of BS!
Majesting
Majestic (In my opinion this 'mon looks pretty regal) + Sting (As in Sting Ray, unsurprisingly)
Pronounced: MAH-ge-STING
Feedback welcome :)

it does look regal now that you mention it, I think Majesting and Quillume are the best ideas so far
Ohmagod
A combination of Ohm, Manta, and God.
Pronounced: Oh - MA - God
Why "God"? Well, take this original supporting art and you might see why...
