Bolderdash sounds like an pokemon attack to but i still like.
I think this came up somewhere before (heard about it on the chat), but I support Rebble.
Rubble (which the thing looks like it's made up of), and it rhymes with pebble. But I think its real merit is in how the name actually kind of captures the concept of the Pokemon as well. Rebble, sounds like Rebel. What is CAP 5? A Pokemon built to go against the stereotypes of Rock Pokemon. To rebel against something is to defy a generally accepted convention (or one of its definitions, anyhow).

I prefer Rebl but neither are brilliant.
Stratagem is clever but doesn't sound like a Pokemon IMO.
Meteorion is too spacey - woulda fit DJD's planet perfectly but not Rockmon who hasn't been given any astral flavour from its movepool.
How about Mercurore?
Comes from Mercury, a silvery toxic metal + ore, rock from which valuable substances can be extracted.
Edit: Bolderdash is cheesy but fun :-)
I like it it fits Rockmon Physical description.
Um he thought of that name for a while now and that is his username on the CAP server and he had it for a while before this discussion even began.
Minerazor: Mineral + Razor
Gragnatus-Granite+Magnetic+It's mantis like appearence.
I chose granite to be fitted in there because the pokemon does look to have a lot of granite on it.
Magnetic because it could be the way the rocks flow together and keeping then afloat.
Mantis because of the sythes and a little buggy esque appearence.
Or if my granite theory is wrong,
Magnatus-Mineral+Magnetic+Mantis

Oh, whats funny is I actually came up with it on my own :P
Bolderdash... the Mariguana of CAP 5? :nerd:
I support Bolderdash and Stratagem.
Mine didn't catch on, but I support DJD's Meteorion. I'd vote for it over Stratagem.
Strata= layed. Ever heard of Stratigraphy? That discipline that provides you with oil and gas, sir? Wikipedia it and you'll understand, I'm fairly sure.
Edit: Incase I was somewhat unclear, stratigraphy is like THE discipline that soft rock geologists (rock scientists) use to find oil and gas. Paleontologists use it to :D
going for Stratagem.
Liar, this is how you felt^.
What is with the connection of gem and psychic? Once again your logic is escaping me somewhat. Also I think the nasty plot connection really is a side effect rather something that was focused on. Besides, you can make a strategem using a pokemon that doesn't have nasty plot.
I fully support all of these names. They are on a level we haven't seen before. Maybe its because we have more rock-themed expressions in the English language, but these all just seem like words you would use to describe rocks.
*Feels sad that nobody comments on my submission, like everything else I submitted.*
