200 Pokémon Unite Team Names

I’ll be honest—a great team name in Pokémon Unite does way more than just sit on a scoreboard.

Back when Pokémon Unite first dropped on the Nintendo Switch (summer of 2021, right?), most of us were just figuring out how lane control worked or how to avoid getting steamrolled by a Lucario main in quick play. But fast-forward a few years, and here in the U.S., the game’s evolved—from a casual battle arena time-killer to a legit competitive MOBA, complete with ranked ladders, esports brackets, and sweaty squad queues on Discord.

Now, here’s the thing: your team name actually matters. In ranked matches, in tournaments, even just running five-stack with friends on a Friday night—it’s part of your identity. It shows up in brackets. It’s how other trainers remember (and sometimes fear) you. And if you’ve been around the U.S. gaming scene as long as I have, you know this isn’t just a Pokémon thing—naming conventions have always shaped culture, from Xbox clans to Smash crews.

What I’ve found is that a good team name can spark hype, build cohesion, and even make your crew more recognizable in the ever-growing Pokémon Unite scene.

So, if you’re building a squad—or just rebranding your current one—let’s dive into some Pokémon Unite team name ideas that hit hard, feel fresh, and actually mean something.

How to Create Your Own Pokémon Unite Team Name

Naming your Pokémon Unite squad can feel like naming a band—you want it to sound cool, feel personal, and stick in people’s minds. I’ve gone through this process dozens of times with teams, guilds, even baby name lists (funny enough, the brainstorming is surprisingly similar). What I’ve found is that the best names usually start with a little creative structure, then get weird in the right ways.

Here are a few naming tricks that have worked for me and others over the years:

• Play with word mashups
  → Try fusing Pokémon names or types with personality traits. “Venustoic” or “Charmageddon” both came out of long Discord nights. Weird? Maybe. But they’re memorable.
• Borrow from American sports
  → Use the format of pro teams. Something like “Pikachu Panthers” or “Zapdos United” taps into a recognizable naming rhythm.
• Lean into pop culture references
  → Think comic books, anime, movies—whatever your team vibes with. I once saw a team called “Blastoise Brigade” inspired by Brooklyn Nine-Nine. It stuck.
• Use a nickname generator for a laugh
  → Even if it spits out garbage, it gets the ideas flowing. Sometimes the worst names spark the best tweaks.
