How to rename a pokemon?

Everyone where I live doesn't do that so I just don't lol.

I used to just do an 'A' or 'D' depending on if it was attacking or defending. That way I could quickly choose who I want for what without figuring out which one has what moveset. This only really matters when you have multiples of the same species.

I keep it simple. Use an asterisk to bring it to the top, a or d for defense, abbreviated name with IV. Example * A*Poli93%. Keeps good ones at top and in alphabetical order and separate from offense and defense.

I used to include specific IV values in hexidecimal, so I could compare IVs to a pokemon's base stats (for example, a Vaporeon doesn't need as good stamina IV because its base stamina is already so high) but now am mostly just evolving and powering up 85%+ IV pokemon and at that point the exact differences are not too important.

I know pretty well the possible movesets are on the pokemon I use a lot, including types and what is better for offense or defense, so I just need a small reminder of the moves. I've got most moves abbreviated down to one or two letters. The same letters could be different depending on the pokemon. For Raticate, BH is bite, hyper beam, but for Poliwrath BH is bubble, hydropump.

If the pokemon is 90%+ IV with a good defensive moveset, then I mark it with $ to show that is one I can spend dust on without rechecking its stats if I need something bigger to put in a gym. If lower than 90%, I mark it + if it has a strong offensive move set or - for defensive.

I read recently an idea for including the pokemon's HP/10 rounded up in the name to help better estimate revive/potion use, and I have slowly been working this into my names.

This leaves me with room for some of the pokemon's actual name. Examples, see if you can figure them out:

Exegg80ZS+15
Exegg91CB$16
Arcan96FB-15
Arcan82FF+14
Drago91SP$15
Vapore91W$20
Vapore82H+18
Venus98RB$14
Lapra49SD-19
Gyara87BH+15

I name mine by their IVs (atk/def/sta) and the moveset initials.

e.g. I have a 14A 14D 15S slowbro with confusion + psychic, so it's called 14/14/15 C/P

if 2 moves have same initial e.g. dragon claw / pulse then I just use the 2nd letter.

whats the point to put iv on the name if u care about iv and should already transfer those useless ones

I'm tempted to add a simple A or D, but adding moveset details etc. to defenders just gives attackers a helping hand in selecting their Pokes.

Simple and fast to read:

IV Average (0-100)
+
AttackDefenseStamina (in inverted hexadecimal starting from 10 (A for 15, F for 10; made more sense to value 15 as an A than as an F like with regular hex))
+
QuickMoveChargeMove in two-letter acronyms respectivley (if I have more than one of that pokemon)

So a Vaporeon with 98 IVs, 15Attack, 15 Defense, 14 Stamina, Water Gun and Water Pulse would look like this:

98 AAB WgWp

Since I already know which move combos count towards Attack or Defensive movesets (mostly), I leave it as it is, but in case I am not familiar with a Pokemon (for lack of use or whatever) I add either € or defensive or ¥ for offensive at the end, only if that poke has the best combination on either side.

If a Poke has the same values on all 3 stats, I simplify it by adding its value and a 3.

For example, I only have one exeggutor, and it happens to have 14 on all stats. Since I already know it's moveset by memory cause it's the only one I own, I named him: 93 B3. That's all.
