What is the longest name for a Pokémon move that is only one word?

Feb. 25, 2023

Like, by number of letters. I know Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom is the longest, but it has 3 words.Along that note, what’s the shortest one?

You didn’t specify English, so here are some (not all) 16-letter (not including hyphens) words in other languages :)

Take a guess as to what they mean!

But the REALLY long ones are:

Shortest would be 抓 and 啄 in Chinese, though they’re not really “letters” since Chinese doesn’t use an alphabet. Otherwise, there are dozens of two-letter names in Korean (Hangul).

If you only look at the Latin alphabet, there are a few other 3-letter words like “Vol” and “Ira”, but none went below that.

I read through the list manually, so tell me if I missed any.
