Yes, and if you hadn't said it I would! Phox is a great name, especially with the informal meaning - to confuse or puzzle since this is gonna be very annoying for opponents to deal with.
I also like Kitsunoh and Felinx.
Oh, for comedy value I'll suggest Phat - Phantom and Cat ;-)
I personally hate Kitsunoh. I feel that if we used it, it would bring a huge amount of fanboys etc, just like anything on four legs related to kitsunes is. It also reminds me of Naruto, which is never a good thing.
My favourites so far are Kobalte and Soulstyx.
Expect a name from me fairly soon.
EDIT: Just a little something for anyone who likes the name Phox.

This, to me, is exactly what that name embodies.
The link works for me.

Hmm...well, if Doug's was chosen, I was gonna put down Skelentel, after Skeleton and Sentinel.
Since our wee quadruped was chosen, thereby opening the doors for many things, I'll put down my new one.
Lynguise.
It's a portmanteau of a Lynx and Disguise, fitting in with the fact that it looks like a kitty.
The Lynx, as many will know, has tufts of fur on the head, and are solitary hunters, which fits a scout as scouts go ahead of the pack and relay info on the enemy.
The disguise bit comes from the mask disguising the true face, as well as the working on the tufts of fur the species runs on their faces.

Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.
You should fix that link.
Edit: The text of your link is different from the page it links to. If I copy-paste it, it works too.
Okay, Canonceal is the best I could come up with - canine (its wolf/dog-like origins have already been used a lot) + conceal (being a Ghost-type, it will of course be doing a lot of hiding, plus it wears a mask). The spelling could be changed around a bit to make it Kanonseal, making it seem more Pokémon-like and less forced; in addition to this, the K gives it more edge and the S could also come from 'seal', a word that seems to relate to a lot of Ghost-type Pokémon and moves.
Felinx is the best suggestion so far.

We've already used 'revenant'; this sounds way too similar.
I haven't got a contribution of my own, but I'd like to show my support for Kitsunoh. To everyone complaining about using a Japanese name, Nintendo often keeps Pokémon's Japanese names (such as Pachirisu). I don't see what's wrong with using Japanese words as a base; surely it's no different from using, say, Spanish or Latin.
Phox make me think of a corrupted wording for Pox as in Chicken Pox; despite the fact it's technically pronounced "fox". Phox is only getting this much support because the creator him/herself used it to described his/her creation as some sort of codename. It probably was never made to be it's real name anyway.
The only name so far that appeal to me or Soulynx and Barghast. Soulynx sounds slightly more catchier than barghast, but a pokemon based off a legendary ghost hound is nothing sneeze at either.
All these fox related names make feel a bit queasy in the stomach. I would prefer if we avoid anything that imply fox or kitsune in anyway because I have a bad feeling about those. Beside, it doesn't really look like a Fox at all. It's body structure suggest that it's a wolf with a feline head.

Wolfcat?
You can say that. Pictures of it depict them as having no snout whatsoever. While that could be the work of the mask, one could say that underneath said mask is a cat-like face. This whole entire thing could just be a cow-sized cat with a bushy tail (several breeds of cats have bushy tails). I say cow-sized because I actually believe a ghostly hell beast being that large and weighting as much as well. This creature make me want to call it the Black Shuck now.
I think I'll try a new name, rather than generic Fox, Cat, etc...
Axceal
Root words:
Axel - A jump used in ice skating (fits this Pokemon jumping around U-turning everywhere)
Conceal - To hide something. (it's a ghost fox hiding behind a steel mask... it's gotta be concealing something...)

Really? Which one?
I really like Phox.
I'll submit one too.
Twilynx. combo of twilight and lynx.

Because Kitsunoh is just weeaboos wanting a Japanese name cause it looks like a fox. No one gets how it relates to anything without prior Japanese language. I commend the effort put into it, but seriously, who uses Pachirisu anyway? You guys should refer to prior CAPs to see he names that are used.
