WIP

Nitrodier


A combination of "Nitrogen" and "Bombardier"

Pronounced: NI-truhdeer
IPA: naitrədir

Combining Nitrogen, which is considered to be a very dangerous and noxious gas in a vacuum, and Bombardier from the bombardier beetle used as the basis for CAP28's design. Additionally, the term Nitro seems fitting given CAP28's awesome offenses.

Xenoza


Xenon (an inert gas) + xeno- (prefix meaning alien or foreign) + ozaenini (one of the taxonomic tribes of bombardier beetles)

Pronounced: zee-NO-zah
  • This one has a couple layers to it
    • Xenon is an inert noble gas, alluding to Neutralizing Gas.
    • “Xeno” is also a prefix for foreign or alien, alluding to the more otherworldly elements of the design, like the dragon-tail and gas spilling from the tail-jaw.
    • “Oza” is short for ozaenini, one of the taxonomic tribes to which bombardier beetles belong.

Pronounced: "BAAM-bl-beet"
IPA: bämbəlbēt

When "Beetlebomb" is just too in-your-face.
I mean given that Talonflame exists, I wouldn't count "Beetlebomb" out just yet. I actually think the hokiness of it is kind of charming!
 
WIP

Smawg


Pronounced: smorg

Smaug + maw + smog.

Smaug is a famous dragon in literature (covering our Dragon typing), maw is for the tail and it sounds similar to smog (covering the NGas)
 
WIP

Bombaustic


Bombadier/Bombastic + Caustic

Pronounced: bom-boss-tik

Caustic burns are chemical burns. The bomb in the name is mostly affiliated with Bombadier, and its more of a fun nod to the word Bombastic, rather than that being an adjective to describe the design. However, a bombastic person is one who is considered to be “big-headed” or “gaseous,” so there’s a stretched connection
 
WIP

Maustard


Maul (because it's gonna maul those pivoting bastards) + Corruption of maw + Mustard gas (a chemical weapon that causes serious damages to health and environment)

Pronounced: MAW.stard

WIP

Mawtar


Maw + Mortar

Pronounced: MAW.tar

Jurassect

Bumbadrei

Yet another reference to bombardier, with a shared dragon reference like hydreigon. Middle r was dropped to ease pronunciation.

It's bum is one of it's signature features, while combining with the word bad in the middle implies badass.
 
Final Submission

Nitropod


From "nitroglycerin," a bomb component, and arthropod, the beetle's phylum

Pronounced: NAY-tro-pod

Virudra


"Virulent" + "Dragon"

Pronounced: Vee-ru-dra

The greenish, toxic looking aspect of the design made me think of a name that focused on the Pokemon's virulent nature while incorporating a certain dragon theme to it.

WIP

Pestilmaw


"Pest/Pestilence" + "Maw"

Pronounced: Pes-til-maw

The name accentuates the greenish, bug elements of the design and combines it with its most notable feature: the huge maw-like tail.
 
WIP

Dracolob


Dragon + Coleoptera (scientific name for Beetles) + Lob (throw)

Pronounced: drah-koh-lob

I think this name has a good rhythm to it and fits a few different words and sounds together to get across its character.
 
WIP

Bombadrake


Bombardier + drake

Pronounced: BOM-buh-drake

Gen 8 Pokemon oftentimes have simple portmanteau names (Centiskorch, Corviknight, Sinistea, etc). As such, I think a simple name is best.
 
WIP
Brachinox


pronounced brack-i-nox or brack-ee-nox (still deciding on that)

Brachinus + noxious
Brachinus is the scientific name for the bombardier beetle. I chose noxious because the bombardier sprays noxious chemicals.

WIP
Caranox


pronounced care-uh-nox

Carabidae + noxious
Carabidae is the family the bombardier beetle belongs to.

WIP
Draconox


Pronounced drake-oh-nox or drack-oh-nox (still deciding)

Draco + noxious
Draco is the latin word for dragon.
