Scolipede nicknames

Scolipede was introduced in Generation 5 with a Bug/Poison typing which isn’t particularly unique but there’s still scope for great nicknames.

Let’s look at some info on Scolipede and suggested nicknames.

Origins

Scolipede is basically a purple centipede with a shape that doesn’t necessary scream “centipede” like our good friend, Centiskorch. It’s bulky, stands on four legs(?), and it’s a red/magenta/purple kind of colour. And apparently, Centiskorch preys on Scolipede. Uh oh!

Nicknames

My methodology for nicknames is as follows:

  • I rank nicknames by lettered tiers: S, A, B, C, and D. S is the best and D is the worst.
  • I’ll usually list my inspiration for a nickname so you know where they came from.

With all that said, let’s look at those Scolipede nicknames!
