WIP
Balansol
A combination of the words balance scale and Sol, the Latin word for sun, in reference to Doom Desire being a light-based attack. Also includes a corruption of the word soul, in reference to the ancient Egyptian "weighing of the heart" ceremony, wherein Anubis would weigh one's heart upon a scale with the feather of Ma'at, as one's heart was considered to house their soul.

WIP
Arbil
Just Libra backwards, but also kinda fits the theme in a roundabout way with counting back to one. IDK, I just thought it looked nice.
Pronounced AR-bill
Otherwise I am a huge fan of Equilibra, it rolls off the tongue very nicely and is a great combining of words fitting the theme of the mon
Also really like Auricle for the same reasons, but it's just not quite as on the nose to me.

WIP
Evilibrium
Evil + equilibrium (also contains libra)
ee-vil-lih-bree-um
As a side note, I can’t help but think all these justice-related names are really cliched. This Pokemon is supposed to be the bringer of doom, not an avenger for justice

Spectotem
It's a silent watcher of the world ("spectator") and symbolizes the concept of justice ("totem").
Pronounced: spek-TOH-tum
As a bonus, the name alludes to Totem Pokémon, a feature introduced in Gen 7 and iconic to the Alola region, perhaps hinting at its spiritual or cultural significance.

- DougJustDoug: I think Auricle is a great name, but I'm a little less fond of it since we have another gold 'CAP mon that uses the same root word, Aurumoth.
- Oglemi, your name is simple but very effective. I'm a fan of how the backwards name works for this 'mon. :)
