  • Accuracy: 100%
  • PP: 10 (Max 16)

If you are inspired by the winning art design and have come up with good and unique move name you'd like this CAP to use, please submit your idea here and we will put it up for a vote against all other users' ideas. Final submissions must conform to the submission rules, so please read them carefully. Breaking the posting rules can also result in disqualification.

RULES:

Legal move name submissions must meet the following standards:
  • Move names must be real English words in titlecase.
  • Move names cannot be longer than 17 characters each.
  • Move names can only contain the following characters:
    • Letters A-Z
    • Numbers 0-9
    • Dash (-)
    • Apostrophe (')
    • Space
  • Move names may be comprised of no more than three individual words.
  • Capital letters cannot be consecutive.
  • A maximum of two non-letters can be included in the name.
  • Legal names must be submitted in the exact format prescribed further down this post.

Names will not be slated if they are:
  • completely unrelated to the design
  • the name of an existing move
  • silly (puns are fine)
  • based primarily on memes
  • meant to inflame, intimidate, or cause controversy

WIPs
Work In Progress (WIP) Names can be posted at any time for comments from the community.

No more than three WIP Names can be posted by any individual person through the entire course of the submission thread. This limit applies to ALL posts made by a single person, even if previous posts are edited or deleted. This limit is intended to curb the tendency for some submitters to spam the thread repeatedly with lists of Names. This detracts from other submissions and makes it difficult for commenters to survey the submission thread.

Do not bump your WIP names by posting them repeatedly, or making minor spelling changes of a letter or two. Bumping will result in the disqualification of all names by the offender. Editing or deleting bump posts will not prevent disqualification.

Final Submissions
Only ONE Final Submission can be made per person. Any Final Submission that does not follow the proper format will be disqualified.

Format
Name Final Submissions must be posted exactly in the following format and in the following exact order:
  • The first line of the post must have the words "Final Submission" in bold on its own line. No other text may be included before the bold heading.
  • A blank line
  • The move name submission in bold.
If you want to include additional comments, explanations, etc., make sure to create a second blank line below the Final Submission first. These extra comments are optional.

Example final submission:

WIP 2

Plasma Smash

Plasma covers the design of the two forms - while smash to me covers - all the conceptual styles of attack this mon would have. Head/Antler/Horn etc Coming together to cover key aspects of the move as well - such as it being a special type move but not sound based.
 
WIP

Runic Activation

Idea is that the design is giving a lot of "elder/ruin" style and you are starting off as a slower more heavy and eventually charging it up to become a much faster entity
 
WIP

Fimbulwinter

The name of the three-year winter that precedes Ragnarok in Norse mythology, comes from Fimbulvetr in old norse, which has a literal translation of "mighty winter".

I know it's a Fire move but the concept of going into an Ice-type and having a chance to freeze fits the theme pretty well IMO.
 
Final Submission

Freezeflame Horn

16 characters total

A pun on the Original Series anime episode called "Freeze Frame", and that its horn should be used as a way to change its form, so depending on the form its in, the horn will be one of two colours when it uses this move. Accepting feedback.

WIP

Blaze of Glory

form change by burning hotter or sputtering out. intended to evoke themes of valhalla, the place of warriors who have died in battle and are to fight in ragnarok in norse mythos. the bridge of bifrost, which this design draws inspiration from, connects the mortal realm to asgard, where valhalla is located. so, thematically, ramnarok goes out in a blaze of glory and returns as a valhallan warrior
 
WIP

Aurora Burst
Aurora references the Aurora Borealis reference in the design and is related to Ice type in Aurora Veil and Beam.

WIP 2

Polar Flux

References the ability to shift from the molten base form to the frosty alternate form. Polar is not only a reference to Ice (Polar areas) but also "refers to something having opposite or contrasting characteristics or properties".
 
Final Submission

Gallant Horn

"The user bellows an explosive warcry at the opponent. Those struck by the sound may freeze in fear of it."

An obvious reference to "Gjallarhorn", as well as using the word Gallant, meaning "courageous, chivalrous and brave". Basically, it's the courageous bellowing of a horn that leads you into battle.

Final Submission

Frostburn Flare

Simple explanation, a frost burn (or more commonly referred as a Frostbite) evokes the Fire/Ice connotations, and is a result of exposure to freezing.

"The user casts a chilling effect on opposing Pokémon with its tranquil fury. This may also leave the opposing Pokémon frozen."

Blazing Twilight

Continuing with the Ragnarok basis, "twilight" is derived from the similar old norse word Ragnarøkkr, meaning "Twilight of the Gods". Additionally, the Aurora Borealis is often observed in the evening and at night, tying into the second form's aurora design.
 
WIP 1

Ymir's Spirit / Spirit of Ymir

According to Norse mythology, when Muspelheim, the realm of fire, meets Niflheim, the realm of ice, the giant Ymir was formed. He is considered the ancestor of all frost giants. Spirit is also synonymous with fire in terms of having immense energy or enthusiasm about something.

WIP 2

Blazing Borealis

Alliteration + reference to "aurora borealis" with a fiery spin on it.
 
WIP 3

Plasma Blizzard

The alliteration of Burning is nice with blizzard, (Original first word of name I was going with ) but I like the use of Plasma or some other unique word that combines the effects of the move & form types. Fire Ice combo aspects of the move - similar to scorching sands - ground type move that has a chance to burn.
