Justruscale
Justice + Etruscan + Scale

Judgmantle
A combination of "Judge" + "Mantle".
Pronounced: "juhj-MAN-tl"
For those of you who don't know, the mantle is a planet's core, whether it consists of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic layers. CAP26 comes from the earth with its metals and clay, so I can't think of a more fitting word; it's also currently not used in any official Pokemon name. Judge is for how it weighs options and fates. Finally, when said out loud, it's very close to the English word "judgmental", which is something this design does frequently.

Taroterra
"Tarot" + "-terra".
Pronounced: "TARE-uh-TARE-uh"
Tarot cards are/were used for seeing the future, which is essentially the theme of this CAP. The "-terra" suffix means earth, which calls to the CAP art indicating that the Pokemon was made from metals/clay/etc.

Dreadweight
"Dread + weight"
Pronounced: Dred-Weit
The name is a play on the word of dead weight. When Cap 26 uses Doom Desire the opponent will "Dread" for the move to come, Weight is referencing the design of the cap since it's a scale. The Weight part of the name can be also used as "wait" since you have to wait for doom desire to come and hit it's target.
