Kaiser (please refer to me as this)
I named by Budew (soon to be Roserade) in Platinum Elise after Elise from Fire Emblem Fates, since both Elise and Budew are wholesome, innocent and pure in my opinion, and also her title in FEH is Budding Flower, which Budew certainly is one.

My nicknamed mons' names depend on how I see them fit in which media, always led by my Solgaleo(Sun) Lunala(Moon) & Necrozma (both as I do not have US/UM.. Too similar to the originals). Some can be funny :p

Beedrill - Stingmon (shiny, can Mega Evolve)
Braviary - Aquilamon
Charizard - WarGreymon (mega evolves into X, still trying to hatch a shiny via Masuda method)
Feraligatr - ExVeemon
Ariados - Shadow (not the hedgehog!)
Galvantula - Venus
Aegislash - Master Sword
Alolan Muk - Master Belch
Staryu - Starman (shiny, NOT gonna evolve it since its name is based from EarthBound, not Mario)
 

Reinhardt

You! Me! Rivals! Yes?
I always nickname my teams, but I've found some Pokemon are harder to give decent nicknames than others. Some of my favourites are:
male Chesnaught named Reinhardt, after the Overwatch character
male Clawitzer named Pinchy, in reference to that Simpsons episode where Homer gets a pet lobster named Pinchy
female Pyroar named Savannah, because was the best female name I could think of for a lioness that's not a name from The Lion King
male Gogoat named Capricorn, after my star sign
female Sylveon named Sakura, after the flower
Golurk named Gipsy Danger, after the robot from Pacific Rim
male Mudsdale named Bojack, after Bojack Horseman
female Alolan Raichu named Malia, after Hawaiian pro surfer Malia Manuel
male Skarmory named Metalhawk, after the Transformers character

I usually nickname most of my Pokemon in the mainline games. I've nicknamed a few in GO. I think my favourites so far are an Ampharos I named "DeanAmpharos" as a play on then WWE wrestler Dean Ambrose and a Shellos named "Chev" after Jason Statham's character from Crank, Chev Chelios

Right now I have all three Eeveelutions in my team in Let's Go Eevee, though I feel like Vaporeon's name isn't as interesting as the other two. Jolteon is called Pop Rock (probably because of crackling and stuff and it somehow came to mind), Flareon is called Pillow (because of all the fluffiness - another name I considered for him was Sir Fluff) and Vaporeon is just... Ocean, because water type.
