Here are the pronunciations that make the most sense (“ə” is a lazy vowel sound, like the “i” in “pencil” or the “u” in “circus”):

Braixen: BRĀK-sən (sounds like “breaks in”)

Aegislash: Ē-ji-slash (rhymes with “bee kiss cash” (I ran out of ideas for rhymes))

Gourgeist: GÔR-gīst (the “Gour” sounds like “gore”, the “geist” rhymes with “heist”)

Yveltal: I usually say ē-VEL-təl but it could be Ē-vil-täl (like “evil tall”)

Trevenant: TRE-və-nənt (rhymes with “revenant” or “heaven meant”)

Probably the best standard to go by is Marriland’s, since I’m not aware of the official pronunciation guide for Gen 6. This is how I’ve heard him pronounce them so far:

Braxien = Brac-si-en.Aegislash = Age-gi-slashGourgiest = Ga-wor-giest (giest as in poltergeist)Yveltal = Yee-vel-talTrevenant = Tre-va-nant
