    • Coro Coro Contest! Name That Attack! PC Exclusive!

    Hello all! Coro Coro is running a special contest to name a Steel Pokemon attack in Sword and Shield! I have one mail in post card and I decided to give the Poke Community a chance to name the attack! So here is the deal, between April 15th and April 26th at 4 PM Tokyo time, come up with the best attack name! The one that has the most "likes" at the time the contest is finished, will be placed on the postcard and mailed to Nintendo! Remember the attack must be 8 letters or less! Good luck everyone!

    Hm. Eight Roman letters is too short, but by converting to katakana we can get some decent names that fit (I'm making them separate posts so they can be liked separately):

    Overclock (オーバクロック).

    Brave Bot (ブレーブ・ボット)

    Taboo Laser (タブー・レーザー)

    Actually, here's one that works as Romanji: Talos.

    (After the robot from Greek mythology who destroyed himself by removing a nail from his body, so that "the ichor ran out of him like molten lead.")

    • Shrapnel
    Named after Shrapnel shells because we just passed the 100th anniversary of the end of WWI (in which the UK, the region Galar is based off of, was a big player in) last year so I thought it would be a good way to honor that.

    • Nukeshot,
    as nuke means nuclear weapon which is highly damaging and has a relation to metals.And as it is used by a steel type it would seem as if it is launching a part from its body as the nuclear weapon.

    Core Shred (idk a 4 letter word taht can repalce shred help me out here XD)
    A steel type is usually bulky so it would be like the Earths iron core. If it shreds off its own body to launch it at the opponent it would hurt itself but would pack quite a punch since the Earths core is made out of solid iron and nickle.
    Core Tear could also work unless theres a better word.

    • Heh an offensive Curse move. Hmm Torment came to mind but we already have that. How about Rust. It's what happens to Steel when exposed to Oxygen. In using the move, the Steel Type Pokemon willingly causes rust to form(which hurts it) and then violently expels it at the enemy.

    rust ray/rustyray
    the rust is like oxidation but shorter , when iron or any material is exposed to oxygen, it oxidizes, so if a body made of iron expels it, It would be like removing the thing that covers a wound, we would hurt ourselves ... I did not know how to explain it well, but I hope that the name likes you...
    oh... CodeHelmet say something simillar...
    maybe ironbeam?

    • Excaliburst, a sword-shaped light beam destroying the foe. (If someone can write it in hiragana/katakana to fit in)

    What about Foil? It's simple, but it refers to metal and how a plan can be rendered unsuccessful, tying it in well with the recoil.
