CSR and CIR could bring up their respective Calyrex (idk about singles but in VGC those are super common abbreviations)

Super cool to see this being updated!! Slightly long list of ones I've noticed missing, no particular order or rhyme or reason, but they are largely influenced by being an OMs main.

:dragonite: -> nite
:ursaluna: -> ursa
:ursaluna-bloodmoon: -> ursab
:gouging-fire: -> gouger
:terapagos: -> pagos
:ogerpon-cornerstone: -> stonerpon (bit niche, but gets used a fair bit in smogcord + oms) this is mostly an aprilism but its funny
:ogerpon-wellspring: -> wetpon
:zapdos-galar: -> gap
:weezing: -> weezer (ok this one is just funny but still)


orichalcum pulse -> opulse
adaptability -> adapt
primordial sea -> psea, primsea
desolate land -> dland, desoland, deso
bulletproof -> bproof, maybe bullet?
dragon's maw -> dmaw
prankster -> prank

pixilate -> pixi
refrigerate -> refrig, refrige
aerilate -> aeri
well-baked body -> wbb
mold breaker -> mold, moldy
unaware: -> una
water absorb -> wabs

and of course, the most important one (real) (not fake)
:leafeon: -> april

electricberry -> :Wacan Berry:
evio -> :Eviolite:

normalberry -> :Chilan Berry:
poisonberry -> :Kebia Berry:
psychicberry -> :Payapa Berry:
rockberry -> :Charti Berry:
steelberry -> :Babiri Berry:
waterberry -> :Passho Berry:

Ability alias changes
adapt -> Adaptability
bproof -> Bulletproof
dland -> Desolate Land
dmaw -> Dragon's Maw
mold -> Mold Breaker
pixil -> Pixilate
psea -> Primordial Sea
refrig -> Refrigerate
tinted -> Tinted Lens
tlens -> Tinted Lens
una -> Unaware
vabs -> Volt Absorb
wabs -> Water Absorb
wbb -> Well-Baked Body

Move alias changes
glide -> Grassy Glide
gunk -> Gunk Shot
psong -> Perish Song
sbomb -> Sludge Bomb
stoss -> Seismic Toss
synth -> Synthesis
tpunch -> Thunder Punch

I'll explain the rejected suggestions here
wogerpon - we already have woger which is a shorter abbreviation
gouger - same as above, goug already exist
stonerpon - this is partially implemented as 'stonepon' but for obvious reasons...rather not use stoner LOL
gap - I feel like gap is a bit too short? gapdos is almost always used for zapdos galar but if some more people agree on this alias then I'll add it
weezer - this is 1 letter shorter than weezing, no point in having it as a alias, but I just now realized 'weez' doesn't tag weezing so I'll do that instead
opulse - Ironically there are 2 box legendaries that use this abbreviation, Koraidon (ability) and Kyogre (signature move) so can't have this in sadly
bullet - can't use 'bullet' for bulletproof due to bullet punch, but I did use 'bproof' for Bulletproof
prank - I honestly have not seen this 1 before and I play vgc a decent bit where prankster is op, but I'll ask around some more, im open to adding it.
aeri - competition with aeriel ace
pixi - partially implemented, pixi has competition with pixie plate so I am using pixil as the alias for pixilate
wg - Too ambiguous, could be both Wide Guard and Wonder Guard
fpunch - Could be both Fire Punch, and Focus Punch

This is a general thing but for LC/NFE alias suggestions be sure there's minimal to no competition within the Pokemons own evo line (EX: mien could be both mienfoo or mienshao, hence why I use 'foo' for mienfoo).

Thanks for the suggestions as usual, and big thanks to LC/CAP communities for the help!

what about neutralizing gas to ng? I know ng could also be normal gem, but the current alias for neutralizing gas is ngas...
Click to expand...
ng can stand for Neutralizing Gas, Normal Gem, and No guard, definitely a bit too ambiguous. If it was just normal gem I'd consider it given the current abbreviation of ngas but No Guard is a decently relevant ability

glitched said:
gzap for zapdos seen people use this
idk articuno, prolly something like gcuno?
Click to expand...
gzap is perfectly fine yep, gcuno already exist for articuno-galar, however zapg also doesn't exist for zapdos-galar so I'll add that in as well, thanks!
 
ty Skymin for adding these! If possible could you also add the following aliases too? All are commonly used in Hackmons.

maud -> Audino-Mega
slak -> Slaking
gigas -> Regigigas
jask -> Ninjask
trode -> Electrode
photon -> Photon Geyser
soulblaze -> Clangorous Soulblaze
imp -> Imposter
prank -> Prankster
innards -> Innards Out

This might be a bit extreme but I'm sure it'd be helpful to have "recover' or 'recovery' in the move section give a Pokémon's moves that heal 50% of their max HP under normal circumstances, for example it'd show Moonlight and Morning sun on Necrozma or Slack off on Mr. Rime
