Alias Megathread

add "/dt chomper" as an alias for "/dt garchomp"

i'm fully aware that /dt chomp already works but honestly i just think chomper is funnier on top of being a relatively common alias for it

this one isn't mons, but i'd also like to see /makegc added as an alias for /makegroupchat, it would be a nice little quality of life change, i use solo groupchats pretty often to test tournament/challenge codes

for makegc, you can just use /mgc
 
i didnt know this thread existed, but it would be super fire if some of the ru/pu/cap mons could have a couple abbreviations... also some older gen mons im kinda shocked haven't gotten pretty straightforward aliases at this point. I also don't know if there's some sort of quality control for aliases beyond just commonly referred to terms, nor do I see a standard for that, so if someone could lmk about those if they exist that would be cool

RU:
Gardevoir -> gard
Okidogi -> dogi
Weezing-Galar -> geezing
Lilligant-hisui -> hilli
Chesnaught -> chester (somewhat niche for the ru community)
Cyclizar -> bike (very very very common term to refer to cyclizar within RU, but idk if this would be too broad strokes to implement)
Noivern -> vern
Slowbro -> bro
Revavroom -> car (similar to bike but a bit less popular/relevant)
Zoroark -> zoro
Zoroark-hisui -> horo

PU
Altaria -> alt
Meloetta -> melo
Arcanine -> k9
Braviary-Hisui -> haviary
Coalossal -> coal
Decidueye -> decid
Decidueye-Hisui -> hecid
Skuntank -> skunk
Tatsugiri -> sushi (similar to bike, but less common)
Wo-chien -> woch
Sandslash-Alola -> alolaslash
Hitmontop -> top
Grimmsnarl -> grimm
Kilowattrel -> kilo

CAP
Venomicon -> book
Arghonaught -> argh
Cresceidon -> wave
Snaelstrom -> snail
Tomohawk -> tomo
Pajantom -> paj
 
:ogerpon-hearthflame: Ogerpon-Hearthflame > hoger (same as the working Wellspring = woger)
:regigigas: Regigigas > gigas (common and avoids having to skim through regis)

:snorlax: Snorlax -> lax (understandable if it conflicts with nature)
:arceus-dark: Arceus-Dark -> darkeus
:giratina: Giratina -> tina
:arceus-fairy: Arceus-Fairy -> fairyceus
Zen Headbutt -> zhb
Explosion, Self-Destruct -> boom
Volt Switch -> vs
(type) Plate should pull up plate in question (e. g. ghost plate pulls up spooky plate)
 
Ultra ---> Necrozma-ultra
Unec --->Necrozma-ultra
idt this is mistakeable for anything else (also no response from /dt for either of these)
Etern ---> Eternatus (leads to xerneas for some reason?)
Lu ---> Ting-lu
Dinja ---> Shedinja
Shifu ---> Urshifu
Watershifu already leads to urshifu rapid, so it makes sense to me that shifu should lead to urshifu.

Would also like to second tect ---> protect

Calyrex-S already shows Calyrex-Shadow.

EDIT: this is my /dt output.

I'm not sure if this would cause problems with bp already serving as an alias for the move Baton Pass.

Many of these already exist. I've preserved the ones that do not already exist in this quote.

I also don't know how "sunspam" and "psyspam" would function as aliases, which usually pull up Pokemon/moves/etc. and not e.g. teamstyles. Additionally, Sword Dog is longer in letters than the normal names, so I'm not sure if it would be included.

tharrow could be possible seeing how it already works albeit with a correction note, similarly thwave could work but still it’s similar to thunder wave. Another solution could also be to put z/zyg in front of it, seeing how they are zygardes signitures.
It could be funny if Island arrow/wave worked

btw dark void already has dv
 
I feel like there's gotta be a good way to make it easy to bring up a /dt for Embody Aspect or As One. The very least would be including "embody aspect grass/water/fire/rock" and "as one ice/shadow" as aliases. It would be nice if just "/dt embody aspect" or "/dt as one" showed all versions in some way, whether by triggering all of them or having a unique entry, but I'd assume that'd be too much restructuring, so a default to Teal/default to Ice (slightly more arbitrary but Glastrier has the lower dex number) would also be nice.
Embody Aspect is even harder to look at the right names for because all the Ogerpon aliases don't have a "-tera" version, and just "ogerpon-tera" doesn't even bring up anything because it's called "ogerpon-teal-tera". I don't think anybody thinks of it as the Teal forme.
 
Dengo for Gholdengo

Would BM for Bloodmoon Ursaluna be too ambiguous

Xard and Yard for the respective Zard megas
