Pokémon names for your pet!
Girls and Boy Pokémon Dog Names
Do you love your dog or puppy? Do you love Pokémon? Here is a list of the 150
original Pokémon, their “species,” traits, and cute nicknames to use for your
beloved girl or boy pet.
How to Pick a Name
Think about your puppy or dog’s traits and ask yourself the following:
- What is my dog’s personality? Are they brave or shy? Strong or gentle?
- What does he or she look like? Are they fluffy and cute, or muscular and tough? Boy or girl?
- What is my personality? Do I like the cute Pokémon or the ominous type?
Have fun selecting from these easy-to-remember nicknames. Ivysaur can be
“Ivy,” and Caterpie can be “Caty” or “Katy.” Get creative and share your
creations below!
